Ex-Husband's Regret

Chapter 0432 Chapter 45 “It’s been decided, Sierra and I are now best friends,” Lilly says as she walks into the kitchen where I was having my coffee while our cook prepared breakfast.

It is Saturday, so I didn’t have work and she didn’t have school. Today we could just chill, lazy around and just relax. After the hectic days I had at work, I needed a break.

“you like her that much, huh?” I sip my coffee, trying to hide my smile.

“Definitely,” she gets up on the bar stool before taking a banana. “We have alot in common. She loves exploring and reading, just like me.” When she first told me about Sierra, never thought that it would lead to them being best friends. I should have seen it

I coming given that Lilly would talk about her every day at dinner.

I My lovely girl has never had a bestfriend.

Like I said, she shied away from forming close friendships with the other children at her former school.

I never really understood whether it was because she cared more about studying than playing, or she just didn’t connect with them, or it was because she thought she was mature, and they were too childish for her taste. Either way, she just never clicked with them like she had with Sierra. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“I'm glad to hear that, my sunshine” I reach out, pull her to me, and kiss her temple before releasing her. “I'm happy to hear that you've finally found a girl you are genuinely happy to be around.” Honestly, I haven't met Sierra, but I could kiss her right now for bringing Lilly out of her cocoon.

I “I’m happy too,” she says with a smile “Did you know that Sierra is only a year older than me? But because she’s really smart, she skipped one grade. That's why she’s in the same grade as Noah even though Noah is older than her.” I Well, that is something I didn’t know. But then again, how could I have known? Before I can say anything, she continues.

“1 also want to skip a grade or two. I am as smart as she is, and besides, most of my friends aren’t even in my class.” If I am being honest, I wasn't really sure about her skipping classes. Sure, I did notice that, apart from Sierra, her other close friends are Noah and his best friend Gunner. There are also a few others, but most of them are in Noah's class, so I do get why she would want to be in the same grade.

«we'll talk about it if your teacher ever brings it up, okay?” I finally tell her

I I'm not saying that I don’t believe she’s bright enough to be allowed to skip grades, all I'm saying is that schools can be tricky to navigate at times and they don’t always offer that kind of chance to I 2 kid.

I She nods her head, her smile never slipping from her face, “By the way, can we have Sierra over for a sleep-over one day?” Yeah, my girl is definitely bewitched.

Remember I mentioned she’s never invited anyone over for a sleepover and has never attended one even though she got numerous invites. What the hell was this? Not that I am complaining or anything.

«you’ll have to ask your dad, Lilly” I smile and I literally almost burst at the seems with excitement seeing my baby coming out of her shell.

“Ask me what?”

Gabriel's deep, husky and sleepy voice sounds from behind us. Both Lilly and I turn to stare at him. He had on pajama pants, and a black fitting t-shirt. His hair was messy in a sexy way and he was barefoot. Call me crazy, but there is just something sexy about that.

“I was wondering if I could invite my friend Sierra over for a sleep over one day,” Lilly fills him in, as Gabriel walks to her and kisses her temple.
