My ex husband wants me back (Daven and Althea) novel Chapter 782

The sound of the alarm ringing for what felt like the hundredth time finally forced Naomi to open her eyes. It felt as though she had only just fallen asleep, but the moment she focused on the numbers displayed on her phone screen, she immediately threw back the covers.

“Oh my God! How did I wake up this late?”

Naomi had never expected to sleep so deeply and without interruption. Especially not in someone else’s home.

A home that was still so unfamiliar to her, yet somehow felt warm, welcoming, and filled with love.

And perhaps her conversation with Lydia and Cale had eased her heart far more than she realized.

At the very least, there were no misunderstandings left between her and Lydia.

The last thing Naomi wanted was to become a source of trouble in a marriage that seemed so harmonious, so full of affection, with two people who protected and cared for each other in their own unique ways.

Slowly, she climbed out of bed and ran a hand through her slightly messy hair. The late afternoon sunlight streaming through the window bathed the room in a comforting glow. From the large window beside her bed, she could see a beautifully maintained garden stretching across the grounds.

For a brief moment, Naomi simply stood there, quietly taking in the peace.

It was a feeling she had rarely experienced since her life had been turned upside down.

But the moment she opened her bedroom door, reality quickly reminded her that she still had to face the world outside.

The hallways of the Miller mansion were calm and orderly. Several staff members moved through the corridors carrying trays of food and stacks of freshly laundered linens. They greeted Naomi politely, and she returned their greetings with a small smile that still felt a little awkward.

She had only taken a few steps when she spotted Eli emerging from the far end of the hallway, several books tucked securely in her arms.

“Oh. You’re awake.”

Naomi smiled sheepishly. “I think I really did sleep way too long.”

Eli laughed softly. “Grace was actually starting to wonder if you planned to sleep until tonight.”

Naomi immediately shook her head. “I was just exhausted.”

“That’s perfectly fine,” Eli replied cheerfully. “Honestly, when I’m really tired, sleeping longer feels amazing.”
