Cold Husband Burning Regret: The Divorce He Couldn't Handle novel Chapter 581

Charlotte couldn’t stand his intense, direct gaze, so she looked away first and muttered, “Is that all?”

“There’s more.”

“What else?”

Evander leaned in closer, his lips brushing against her ear. “You’re stubborn, impossible to handle, you love pushing me away, you have a temper, and you bite.”

Speechless, she pushed him away. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

He chuckled. “But I love that you’re stubborn. I love it when you push me away and ignore me. I love your temper, and I love it when you bite.”

Flustered and embarrassed, Charlotte turned away and changed the subject. “What’s this about Seabreeze Isle? And why didn’t you tell me about the betrothal gift?”

“It was a gift from my mother.”

She froze and looked at Evander. “But isn’t she…?”

Charlotte knew how much Miranda hated her. How could she possibly send a gift?

“She’s accepted it,” Evander said, his palm caressing her cheek. “She wanted me to apologize to you for what happened in Riverspire City. She admits she was wrong. From now on, she won’t interfere in our marriage. No one will stand in our way, no matter what we decide to do.”

Charlotte bit her lip and gently pushed his hand away, feigning annoyance. “We’re only engaged. You make it sound like we’re definitely getting married.”

Usually, such comments would make him a little downcast, but today, his eyes were filled with an unmistakable joy. “Who’s to say we aren’t?”

He was especially ecstatic after Miranda had told him their divorce was never actually finalized.

It meant she was still his wife.

They had never truly been divorced.

This engagement, and the wedding to follow, would be a chance to make up for the ceremony they never had.

…

News of the Rayburn family daughter’s engagement spread quickly through Eldermere City. Once the happy announcement was made public, dignitaries and high-society figures sent their congratulations to Mr. Rayburn.

Susy was in charge of planning the engagement party. From the gowns to the venue decor, she made sure to consult with Charlotte on every detail, showing she was genuinely invested in making it perfect.
