CHAPTER 39

EDWINA 

A week after Orion surprised me with a visit to my house, he came to see me in my office.

Juliette, who came to announce the presence of a surprise visitor had winked before she invited him in. 

As she refused to tell me who it was, her wink had thrown my mind into a whirlwind of emotions. My heart started to pound in anticipation as I waited for who it was to walk in through the door. 

But when I saw the familiar gait of Orion as he walked in, my heart deflated immediately.

I had been expecting someone else. 

I had been expecting someone, my ex husband specifically, to walk in through the door.

The pounding in my heart slowed, my heart rate going back to its normal beat. A sigh escaped through my lips, and I sat back down as Orion stepped in further.

"Hello, gorgeous," he greeted with a warm smile.

"Hi, Orion," I said as brightly as I could manage work the weight of disappointment in my chest.
