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.

My eyes move back to Gabriel as he pulls me closer. It isn't appropriate to dance this close at such an event, but it seems that Gabriel doesn't really care.

I stare at his eyes and I see nothing but adoration there. I also see what could possibly be love, but I am not sure. I can't really say it is love when he hasn't really told me that he loves me.

Can I really have what Rowan and Ava have if I give him a chance? Can we really build our relationship into something more if I decide to let go and take a deep dive into love once again? Is this really a second chance for us?

The questions keep ringing in my head even, aware that I haven't really answered Gabriel's question. I can't really tell him what's going on in my head, mainly because it involves him.
