Ex-Husband's Regret

Chapter 0434

"Yes, dad," Lilly answers with a sweet smile, before her focus goes back to her books.

"Alright then, I'll see you in a couple of hours."

"Pamper yourself, Harper. You can even go to the spa if you want to," Gabriel calls behind me.

I just wave him off, before stepping into the elevator. Minutes later, I'm on my way to the mall.

We get to the mall and I get out of the car after thanking the driver. I start at the first floor, making my way up the floors. I decide against a spa day. I just wanted to shop today and then go back home.

Four hours later, my hands were full of shopping bags and I had yet to find

something good for the date tonight. Deciding to take a break before I continued, I spot a small cozy café. It looked like the perfect place to enjoy a good milkshake in this hot weather.

Damn, I just wanted to put these shopping bags down. Our driver told me that he wouldn't leave till I'm done. Maybe I can call him and ask him to come pick them up. I couldn't continue shopping while lagging them around.

I enter the café, my mind focused on finding a table. I could hear a group of women as I walked to the front to make my order, but I didn't pay attention. Well, that is until someone called my name.

"Harper?"

I turn around to find Ava and two other women seated on a table behind me.

"Hi, sorry I didn't see you there," I began sheepishly, hoping they didn't think I was a snob. "My focus was getting off my feet and getting a cold drink."

"No problem, come join us," she says sweetly.

I look between the three women, not really sure if I'd be intruding. I knew Ava, but I didn't know the rest. The last thing I wanted was for them to think I was intruding on them.

"Wouldn't I be intruding?" I ask, staring at them.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

"No, not all" She replied. "This is Scarlet, but we call her Letty, and this is Connie. This over here, is Harper, Gabe's wife." she introduced them before introducing me. "Oh my gosh, you're so beautiful" Letty gushes. "Travis is going to be so jealous when I tell him I met Gabe's wife before he did. He's been going on and on about how Gabe got married and didn't tell him. He is also miffed that Gabe refused to tell him who his wife is."

"Please sit down," Connie tells me with a smile, pulling the chair beside her.

"Thank you. Let me just make my order. I'll be right back," I tell them as I place my bags on the floor.

I rush over to the counter quickly. Put in an order for an Oreo milkshake before I get back to the table.

"Don't you agree, Harper?" Ava asks when I sit down, but I just stare at her in confusion.

"I'm not sure what I'm supposed to agree with."

She fully turns to me when I tell her that. "Letty doesn't understand why I easily forgave Emma when I can't seem to forgive Mother and Travis. She also doesn't understand why everyone else got forgiveness except those two, including Rowan and his family,"

I'm a little behind, but I do know Travis is Emma and Ava's brother, I also don't really understand how she was able to forgive Rowan given the shit he put her through, but I choose to remain silent, so she continues.

"Here is my reasoning when it comes to Emma. The only beef I had with Emma was her being a total bitch when she came back, and even though it grated on my nerves, I understood her, after all I did sleep with her boyfriend, drunk or not. It lasted a couple of months, but despite that, she did save my life.
