My ex husband wants me back (Daven and Althea) novel Chapter 622

For the way her eyes shone. For the happiness written so clearly across her face.

“I know you like it, don’t you?” Cale murmured, his fingers brushing gently against Lydia’s flushed cheek.

She pouted faintly. “I do… but it sounds like you don’t.”

“I didn’t say anything. Why are you accusing me of things I never said?”

Lydia chose not to argue, letting a small smile take its place instead. And for the first time that night, Cale noticed something in her—something that made him want to linger, to keep watching, to not look away.

“Or at least,” he added, quieter now, “I want you to stay like this.”

“Like what?”
