My ex husband wants me back (Daven and Althea) novel Chapter 600

Chapter 600

Cale’s words left Lydia silent for several seconds.

Her hand, which had still been gently massaging his temple, slowly stopped. She allowed him to sit back up beside her. Even then, Cale didn’t look away from her, as though there was something he needed to make clear.

She stared at him-now fully awake-with an expression of disbelief.

“Cale.”

“Hmm.”

“Are you serious about what you just said?”

Cale looked at her with calmness that felt almost unreasonable for someone who had just proposed something so significant. “I never joke about things like that.”

Lydia let out a long breath. She leaned back against the sofa, her gaze drifting to the ceiling.

“You’re forgetting one very important part, you know.”

“Proposing to you?”

Lydia nodded without turning toward him.

“Wasn’t what I just said technically a proposal?”

Lydia clicked her tongue in annoyance. “You didn’t even propose properly.”

Cale raised an eyebrow. “Is that important?”

“For some people, yes.”

Cale reached out and touched Lydia’s cheek gently. “I’m asking your opinion. Is it important to you?”

Lydia pouted slightly.

Cale gave a faint smile before standing up and offering his hand to her.

“Let’s have lunch first,” he said. “It’s already very late. Is there anything you’d like to eat while it’s still warm?”

“No.” Lydia sighed. At first, she intended to ignore his outstretched hand in protest, but… “Fine. You’re right. We should eat first.”

Cale smiled more broadly and clasped Lydia’s hand firmly.

“So now you care about rings and flowers?” he asked.

Lydia let out a quiet snort. “Not really. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want to be appreciated.”

“I appreciate you.”

“By ordering me to marry you in a month?” Lydia asked dryly.

“I didn’t order you.”

“You almost sounded like you did.”

Cale studied her for a moment before speaking again, his voice quieter this time.

“I just said what I was thinking.”

He released her hand and pulled out one of the chairs at the dining table, gesturing for Lydia to sit comfortably.

Lydia didn’t say anything as she accepted the gesture. She knew Cale was simply like this.
