Chapter 568

Chapter 568:
In the past, an electric tension always hovered between Cole and Elliana, with Myles and the others half-afraid they might stumble into an awkward display of affection. But nobody worried about that anymore. With Cole and Elliana no longer married, there would be no more sudden kisses, no quick hugs, and certainly no romantic moments that left everyone red-faced.
Cole tried to ease the tension, but Elliana remained distant, and the silence grew thick between them.
After an hour on the road, they finally pulled up to Regal Grove. Cole cleared his throat, unsure, and asked, “Would you mind if I came in for a bit?”
Elliana shook her head and met his gaze. “No, you can’t. We’re divorced. We should keep our distance.”
Elliana climbed out before he could say another word.
Damian was scrolling through his phone in the guardhouse when he spotted Elliana. He hurried over to swing the big iron gate open. “Oh, how’s your day?”
“Not bad,” Elliana replied, her tone light and unbothered. Without pausing or glancing over her shoulder, she made her way toward the mansion.
Damian promptly closed the gate behind her.
Cole sat still, his gaze following Elliana’s retreating figure through the open car window while a quiet sigh slipped from his lips. What once was a shared home had become a place where he couldn’t even get in. There was a time when she would rush into his arms, happy to whisper anything sweet or silly. That was all gone now, replaced by silence.
Winning her over again would not be easy, and he knew it. He understood why she was upset. But even if he could go back three days ago, he wouldn’t change his decision. The divorce was something he’d still choose. Without realizing her true identity as Milena, he couldn’t have asked her to endure his troubles or witness his lowest moments.
Elliana disappeared inside the mansion, leaving Cole watching the door for a few extra moments before giving the order. “Let’s get moving.”
Obediently, the driver put the car in gear and they pulled away from the curb without delay. The source of thɪs content is.net
As Cole’s car slipped out of sight, another vehicle rolled up to Regal Grove’s entrance.

Jeff, perched in the front seat beside Lance, craned his neck to catch a final glimpse. “Did you see that? Did Cole bring Elliana back?”
Lance gave a casual nod. “Looks like it.”
Jeff narrowed his eyes. “But they’re divorced. What’s he doing chauffeuring her around?”
Laughter bubbled out of Lance. “You didn’t hear? The whole family was gossiping about it earlier. Turns out, Cole was the one who got dumped. Elliana broke up with him. Seems to me he still hasn’t accepted it. He’s probably hoping for another chance.”
Who would have ever expected Cole to end up in this position? Not wasting a second, Jeff whipped out his phone, snapped a quick shot of Cole’s retreating car, and got busy starting a new group chat. Everyone from the Evans family’s younger generation made the list. Cole, of course, was the only one left out.
