Pursuing Mrs. Regrets - Ch. 22.1
April
“Any new news about Delia?” Royal asked his cousin, eager to hear anything, great or small, about his beloved.
Delia had gotten her cell phone and home numbers changed recently, making it impossible for him to call her. Had it not been for his sympathetic cousin, Royal would not have the new numbers today. Yet Aisha only gave them to him after he promised not to use them until the timing was right or in case of emergency. Royal also had to promise to stay away from Delia’s home and business, lest he ruin all chances of ever getting her back due to stalkerism.

Aisha chuckled and then gave him the information he required. Before they hung up the phone, she said, “You better make this information count for something,
“Hopefully, it won’t be for much longer, cousin. Soon I’ll tell Delia all about our kinship and anything else she wants to know about me,” Royal assured her.
Then he thanked Aisha for her help again, parked the car in the driveway, and went to look up the phone number for the London Bridge Dance Studio.
