Ex-Husband's Regret

Chapter 0479

"What are you thinking about?" Gabriel asks while pulling me into the ballroom where others were dancing.

After dinner, there were speeches and then everyone was free to mingle and enjoy the party.

My eyes immediately spot Ava and Rowan. They looked like they were in their own little world as they glided across the floor. Their eyes held nothing but love for each other.

I want that. I want a man that looks at me like I'm his whole word and his sole purpose for being alive. I want to be the only woman that holds his heart. I want to be loved so deeply that it radiates off of him in waves.
