A Divorce He Regrets (Alissa Nexus) novel Chapter 229

I kicked the door gently and shuffled through the doorway with the bowls of ice cream.

"I thought I told you to leave? How many more times do it have to say it before you listen?" Raina hissed, the bite on her voice enough to zap life right back into my numbing chest.

I was about to make a U turn but stopped last minute. What was I doing? It was only day one and I was already breaking my promise to be by her side through the entire process. I slammed the door behind me and faced her.

"No. Not until you hear me out." I kept my voice neutral, the last thing I wanted to do was trigger her.

"Oh, so now you have something to say?" It was a question, but one I didn't dare answer. She had her answer and would not listen to anything I had to say if I could accept that.

I closed the distance to the bed and placed the bowls of ice cream on the nightstand. The tray I had left before was shiny, not a drop of food was left. I fought back a smile.

"What's so funny?" She snapped, eyeing me like I was gum stuck beneath her shoe. Her hair was all over the place, her forehead creased in a deep frown, yet somehow she still looked amazing. Before I could overthink it, I slammed my lips against hers. Her reaction was instant, her hands curled around my neck, just the way they were meant to be. Talk! Right. Before I could get lost in the kiss and forget why I was even there to begin with, I pulled back.

"You need to shut up and hear me out." I said in a low voice, my forehead still rested against hers as we shared the same air.

She sighed. She pulled away, crossing her arms over her chest, she mumbled, "Fine, I'm listening."
