Cold Husband Burning Regret: The Divorce He Couldn't Handle novel Chapter 558

The sky slowly darkened, and the city lights began to glow, casting a warm halo over the streets.

They had been out all day. A cool night breeze picked up, and Charlotte, dressed lightly, shivered.

Evander immediately took off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders. “Don’t catch a cold.”

Charlotte clutched the lapels. The jacket still carried his faint, woody scent from his laundry detergent—a smell that was once so familiar, then one she had deliberately tried to forget.

She was suddenly reminded of the time Tricia had set her up, nearly causing her to be assaulted in a private room. Jonathan Pembroke had taken her to the hospital afterward.

Evander had put his jacket on her then, too. But at that time, it had been an act of pure possessiveness, a display of his displeasure at her being close to Jonathan. Not like now, where his eyes were filled with genuine concern.

Reading something in her expression, Evander felt a sharp, piercing pain in his heart.

He wanted to say, “I’m sorry,” but the words felt too hollow. Bringing up the past again might shatter the fragile peace of the moment.

He knew he still had a long way to go before she could truly forgive him.

He looked away. “I’ll take you home.”

Charlotte nodded.

As they walked toward the car, they passed a flower shop where the pregnant owner was trying to sell flowers to a customer.

She spotted them and called out, “Young lady, it’s Valentine’s Day! Won’t you let your boyfriend buy you a bouquet?”

“Valentine’s Day?”

They both looked at each other in surprise.

Charlotte had assumed he knew, but clearly…

Evander coughed into his hand, a hint of embarrassment on his face. His eyes quickly zeroed in on the most vibrant roses in the display case.

He turned to the owner. “All the roses in your shop—I’ll take them.”

The owner stared. “All of them?”

Charlotte was just as stunned.

“Yes, all of them.” Evander pulled out his wallet. “Do you take card?”

The owner, snapping out of her shock, nodded vigorously. “Yes, we do!”
