HIS REGRET (Ex-Husband wants Me Back) novel Chapter 1066

Eli felt helpless, not knowing what to say. Her conscience briefly sensed something strange hidden behind those sweet words, but the uneasy feeling dominated her mind.

She felt that she had done something wrong by suspecting someone who had willingly stood up to defend her in front of so many people.

“Thank you so much, Natalie. You’ve been by my side when everyone else was judging me,” Eli said in a stiff-sounding voice, trying to dismiss the doubts that were beginning to take root in her mind.

Natalie nodded slowly, displaying a gesture of understanding that seemed forced. “You don’t need to thank me. We’re friends. I’ll defend you, and I’ll also give you a little advice.”

They fell silent for a moment, then Natalie spoke again. “You don’t need to think too much about it. I just want you to reflect on yourself. Careless behavior often causes other people to become suspicious.”

Eli nodded stiffly again. She could no longer respond to Natalie’s words, which were beginning to make her uncomfortable.

“Eli, I have class soon. I have to go now. But you should know that I’ll always support you,” Natalie said as she stood up from the bench.

“Go ahead.” Eli spoke briefly.

Natalie hugged Eli while bending down, but this time, Eli did not return the hug.

Eli watched Natalie’s back as she walked away. Then she spoke softly. “I know she cares about me and is concerned about me. But why do I feel like something is wrong? But... what?”

Eli did not realize that Natalie’s attitude was only an act. To her, that sweetness was a form of concern, but she did not know that the words wrapped in a gentle voice and sweet attitude were what instead became lodged in her heart and disturbed her peace.

“And until now, I still don’t know who started this ridiculous gossip. Everyone has distanced themselves from me, judged me, and called me a player. Oh God, who should I ask for help?” Eli held her head as she lowered it.
