A Divorce He Regrets (Alissa Nexus) novel Chapter 95

I turned to face him, frowning. “Why?”

“Just promise me,” he insisted, his eyes serious.

I rolled my eyes but gave in. “Fine. I promise.”

Satisfied, Alex put the phone away and kept driving. We ended up on the opposite side of town—nowhere near his house.

For a moment, suspicion crept in, and I tensed. “Where are you taking me?”

Alex chuckled. “Relax. I love you too much to do anything to you.”

The words made my stomach turn. Love? Was he serious?

We finally pulled up to a small, quiet apartment complex. The place was simple but well-kept. I stepped out of the car cautiously, my heart pounding.

And then I saw him.

Liam.

He was playing in the yard with a toy truck, his cheeks rosy and his movements lively. Relief washed over me like a wave. He looked better—healthier.

“What happened?” I asked, my voice soft.

Alex came to stand beside me, his tone calm. “He’s getting treated. I felt guilty about how far behind his health was, so I’ve had a team of scientists doing research to help him heal faster.”

My throat tightened as I turned to look at him. “Thank you.”

Alex met my gaze, his expression earnest. “If you really want to thank me, share custody with me, Raina. Don’t take him away.”

I looked away, unwilling to respond to that. Instead, I said, “I want to see him often.”

“You can,” Alex replied quickly. “I’ll bring you here whenever you want.”

There was a pause before he added, “And I didn’t lie about Nathan and that woman. I saw them.”

I stiffened, but I pushed the thought aside. I wasn’t here for that. I was here for Liam.
