Regret in His Wake (Hannah and Zachary) novel Chapter 20

Hannah furrowed her brows slightly, and before she could turn around, she was enveloped in a familiar embrace, the crisp scent of cedar invading her senses.

Zachary held her tightly, his body trembling.

“Hannah, Hannah, you’re finally back.”

Just as Hannah was about to push him away, someone beat her to it, yanking the man off her. In the next moment, she was wrapped in a tight hug by Doris.

“Hannah, are you okay?”

Hannah nodded. Cameron stood there, glaring coldly at Zachary.

“Zachary, what right do you have to face Hannah again!”

Whenever Cameron saw him, he couldn't help but think of the hardships Hannah endured over those five years, fueling his anger.

Zachary opened his mouth, attempting to explain. But Hannah stepped in to stop him.

“Cameron, let’s discuss this somewhere else.”

She didn’t want her and her friends’ hard work on the art exhibit to be ruined by this confrontation. They moved to the café upstairs.

Cameron stood protectively in front of Hannah and Doris, interrogating Zachary.

“Hannah’s divorced you. Why can’t you just leave her alone?”

Zachary looked at the girl behind Cameron, her face expressionless, and his heart twisted painfully, so much so that he could barely breathe.

Hannah had never looked at him like this before.

Seeing her again stirred countless questions in him. But only one managed to escape his lips.

“Hannah, why did you divorce me?”

Doris rolled her eyes, thinking how absurd the question was.

Hannah looked at him calmly.

“I fulfilled my obligation, so it's time to leave.”
