After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 161 What I Want
(Margaret)The house was quiet.It was a weekend, Saturday to be specific, but still, the house was quiet.It didn’t used to be like this.When my husband was still alive, the mansion used to always see people coming and going. There used to be brunches and dinner parties.We even held a ball once.Now, the ballroom so intricately created collected dust because there was no use for it.“Eden,” I stopped a staff member coming out of the kitchen and asked, “Do you know when Jack and Thomas left the mansion?”“Mr. Jack left early in the morning without eating his breakfast and Mr. Thomas left after noon,” Eden replied.I excused her immediately and sat on the living room couch, realizing the fact that none of them had bothered to inform me of their plans.Was I truly such a horrible mother that both of my sons did not even acknowledge my presence while living under the same roof?I didn’t think I had ever done any of them some grave harm. I had only ever wanted the best of the best for t
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 162 Help!
(Lydia)It felt like things just kept piling over for me.I was worried about Mama, but then Thomas came to the rescue without even knowing and helped me spend a calming day together. By the end of which, I had gotten a call from Nathan.The call was so surprising because I had almost forgotten what we talked about during the dinner. Only when Nathan asked if I had made a decision did it come back to me.To be honest, I wasn’t so sure about this whole thing. If I pretended to flirt or be close to Nathan, that would just put me in more of a spotlight. Did I really want that? Because then it would mean that my family would also be under heavy scrutiny and I did not want that at all.My head hurt just thinking about how I was going to handle the management team and how my reply would affect them.I looked at the time and realized Mama and Ruby must have gotten home by now. I had asked Ruby to accompany Mama to the hospital so that she could have some support.Ruby had been very quiet for
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 163 No More Secrets
(Ruby)I wasn’t able to breathe easier.Not until I knew how Mama was.We had just gotten back from the hospital and I had settled her down and handed her a cup of tea to drink.I had only left her for a couple of minutes and the next thing I knew, Lydia was screaming for me to come for help.It was good that Thomas had been present. He had stayed behind with the kids and Lydia and I had accompanied Mama to the hospital. The entire way, I could not stop the tears from my eyes.It was all my fault. I should have been there with her. She had probably gotten up to get something instead of calling out to me and now we were at the Emergency waiting room of the hospital, waiting for anyone to come and tell us what was going on.“She’ll be okay,” Lydia whispered beside me but it felt like she was trying to convince herself more than me.We waited for another five minutes before the door to the emergency room snapped open. The doctor on rounds walked towards us and informed us, “There is noth
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 164 An Encounter
(Jack)I didn’t feel like going home again.I had taken to staying over at the apartment for the past couple of days, wanting to avoid everyone else.I didn’t care about that part much because the only person I didn’t want to ignore was Ruby, but for the past week, I have ignored her calls and only replied to her through messages, citing a heavy workload and whatnot.I know she could tell it was probably an excuse.I jogged around the park right opposite my apartment complex. It was a weekend and I had already been to the gym but I still felt anxious for some reason.As I rounded another corner, I saw someone crouching down in the middle of the walking track with a leash in their hands.I narrowed my eyes at the blonde hair and narrow shoulders that somehow felt familiar.“Amanda?” I asked hesitatingly.The woman whipped her head towards me and her green eyes widened.“It is you!” I said in surprise.“Jack?” she said my name, a wide smile on her face, although there was still some ten
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 165 The Schedule
(Lydia)The doctors discharged Mama the next morning.We were careful in transferring her into the house even though she was pretty adamant about not receiving any help.I told her the most important thing in the world now is for her to rest, and after that, she could moan all about how she still wanted to do things on her own.“You fret too much,” she told me when I came to sit beside her. The kids had just met their grandma and were now downstairs, making breakfast in the kitchen with Thomas while Ruby was resting.It had taken a lot of pleading on my part to make Ruby leave Mama’s side and take care of her own health for a while. There were dark circles around her eyes and a general expression of fatigue.I knew it was more than just Mama’s health but in the crucial time, I was having trouble focusing on most things.My phone rang once again, a source of annoyance in a tough time.“It’s been doing that since yesterday,” Mama pointed out, “Is it a work call? If so, you need to pick
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 166 What About Jack?
(Adeline)I woke up to realize that I had been sleeping for the better part of the morning and even the afternoon.The exhaustion and fatigue that I had been feeling ever since I started the new chemotherapy felt like it had vanished, but I knew it was only a matter of time before it returned.Still, I would enjoy this time because it has been hard to do most things these days. I was not able to keep everything in because of nausea and I didn’t want anyone to worry which was why I kept it all to myself.I sat up in bed to realize there was someone already lying beside me.“Ruby?” I croaked out before clearing my throat, “What are you doing?”Ruby looked up from the piece of cloth she had been holding like she was pulled out of a very deep thought. “Hm?” she said, still looking like she was somewhere else entirely.I give her shoulder a comforting squeeze, “You’ve been much too distracted these days.” I had been noticing how quieter she had gotten.I wanted to ask her about it, but dea
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 167 Ready To Talk
(Ruby)I cannot believe I was about to do this.In all my life, I had never gone behind a guy. I didn’t care how much of a crush I had on someone, you would never see me pursuing them.However, now it was imperative that I do a bit of chasing.I don’t know what happened with Jack that he pulled away from me so suddenly, but I will get to the end of it by today.I guess I needed Mama to get some sense into me. Only when she mentioned Thomas did I realize how stupid I was.Of course, he would know Jack’s whereabouts. Thomas had given me a smirk and made me note down the name of an apartment complex.It was far from our home but not too far away from the mansion, although the area was completely different.During the drive, I realized that I have seen many times how life is unpredictable, hence, wasting time by ignoring each other and not sharing things with each other did nothing but waste the time we did have with each other.No one can say for certain what the future holds for them so
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 168 Leaving
(Lydia)I cannot believe I was actually going.Fortunately, all the demands I made to the marketing team were taken in stride.I cannot believe they thought they would force me to do something I didn’t want to do just because I was not at the same level as their star Nathan Andrews.This was no hate to Nathan of course, because I knew he must be in a tough spot as well. The more you climb up the fame ladder, the harder it is to do the things that you want to do.I’m sure Nathan had been roped to do something like this previously as well, which was why he became receptive to the idea. Otherwise, it is all stupidity of course.Yes, some people might be swayed by dating rumors, but most fans these days could tell a marketing strategy from a mile away and if I was setting foot into Hollywood, I didn’t want to do it in this way.If I am talented enough, then I will be getting more roles. The directors and the producers won’t care about my rumors with the sweetheart of Hollywood, what they

(Ruby)I stood outside Jack’s apartment door, my hand hesitating over the knocker. I shouldn’t be here. I’d already done more than enough, stitched him up, watching him avoid my questions like he always did. But despite every logical reason to stay away, I was here. Because this wasn’t just anyone, it was Jack. The Jack who had once made me laugh so hard I cried, who had shared countless quiet evenings with me in this very apartment. The Jack who, despite all the hurt and chaos, still managed to make my heart skip a beat when I thought of him. I pressed my lips together, pushing the memories aside. This wasn’t about rekindling anything; it was about making sure he was okay. He had shown up at my door injured and vulnerable, and no matter how much time had passed or how complicated things had gotten, I couldn’t ignore that. Taking a deep breath, I knocked. When Jack opened the door, his surprise was clear, though he quickly masked it with that practiced cool demeanor of his.
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 467 On My Terms
(Jack)I sat on the edge of my couch, staring at the bandage on my side, frustration boiling just beneath the surface. The room was quiet, save for the faint hum of the refrigerator in the kitchen. The family doctor had left about an hour ago after re-dressing my wound. He was efficient and professional, as always, and I appreciated the care. But damn it, why hadn’t I thought to call him in the first place? The moment I got injured, my instincts hadn’t pointed me toward practicality or logic. No, instead, I’d ended up at Ruby’s apartment, bloodied and in desperate need of stitches. I didn’t even remember the exact route I’d taken to get there, just that I had. Like my brain had been hardwired to seek her out, even when it made no sense. It embarrassed me now. Ruby had been nothing but calm and steady as she stitched me up, but I could tell how unsettled she was underneath that brave exterior. And I’d put her in that position, dragged her into something she had no business being
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 466 Date Night
(Lydia)The drive back to the mansion felt electric, charged with an energy I couldn’t quite put into words. Thomas’s hand rested on my thigh as he navigated the quiet streets, his fingers brushing gently against my skin. Neither of us said much; the connection between us was palpable without needing words. By the time we reached the house and stepped through the door, it was as if the air around us crackled with anticipation. Ruby had left a note on the counter saying the kids were asleep and she’d see us tomorrow. I smiled, grateful for her support, but my focus was entirely on Thomas. As soon as the door to our bedroom clicked shut behind us, it was like a dam broke. His lips were on mine in an instant, hot and urgent, pulling me into him as if the space between us was unbearable. My hands found their way to his shoulders, then his hair, as I pressed closer, feeling the hard lines of his body against mine. “Lydia,” he murmured, his voice low and thick with desire. I didn’t
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 465 For Everything
(Lydia)When I woke up in the morning, I felt completely refreshed. Today was special. Thomas and I had a date planned, just the two of us. It had been far too long since we’d had an evening to ourselves, and the thought of spending uninterrupted time with him filled me with excitement. Thomas was already awake, sitting on the edge of the bed as he adjusted his tie. His usual morning routine was precise, and I admired how calm and collected he looked, even when I knew his day would be busy. “Good morning,” I murmured, leaning up on my elbows. He turned, smiling warmly, “Good morning, love. Sleep well?” I nodded, sliding closer to him, “You’re leaving early today.” “Lots to do before tonight,” he said with a wink. I couldn’t help but smile at the playful glint in his eyes. Recently, he had been waking up looking like he didn’t get much sleep the night before. But today, he looked like he rested well. Wrapping my arms around his neck, I kissed him passionately, savoring the
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 464 Let’s Go On A Date
(Thomas)The drive back to the mansion was quiet, the city lights a blur as they passed by the windows. My mind replayed the events of the day, the chaos with that one candidate, the interviews that went nowhere, and then Jack. That wound, the tension in his voice, the possibility of Marco being involved, it all left a sour taste in my mouth. But I pushed it aside for now. I didn’t want to bring that storm home with me.By the time I pulled into the driveway, the mansion was bathed in soft light, welcoming and warm. I exhaled deeply, the weight of the day slowly lifting as I reminded myself of what mattered most, my family.Inside, the familiar sounds of home greeted me. Miles and Mabel’s laughter echoed from the living room, where they were playing with a set of blocks. Lydia sat nearby, her eyes flicking between them and her phone. When she looked up and saw me, her face brightened in a way that made the tension in my chest ease instantly.“Daddy!” Miles and Mabel shouted in unison
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 463 No More Hiding Things
(Thomas)The hallways of the office were unusually quiet as I left the disaster of the last interview behind me. My steps echoed faintly as I made my way toward Jack’s office, needing a moment to vent about the absurdity of the day. Jack always had a way of grounding me, even when the world felt like it was spiraling out of control.But when I arrived at his office, it was empty. The blinds were drawn, the desk cleared except for a mug of cold coffee. I frowned, pulling out my phone to call him.He picked up after a few rings. His voice was low and somewhat strained when he spoke, “Thomas?”“Jack,” I said, glancing at my watch, “Where are you? I just came by your office.”“I’m at my apartment,” he replied, his tone clipped. “At your apartment?” I repeated, my frown deepening, “It’s the middle of the day, Jack. What’s going on?”There was a pause, long enough to make me suspicious. “I had to step out for a bit,” he finally said, “I’ll be back soon.”“Jack-”“Thomas, I’m fine,” he int
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 462 Risky Decisions
(Lydia)As we pulled into the driveway of the mansion, I couldn’t help but glance at Ruby in the passenger seat. Her face was calm, her usual cool composure firmly in place, but I could tell she was exhausted. Whatever had happened earlier was still playing in the back of my mind, but I didn’t press her further. Ruby had always been good at deflecting, and I knew better than to push when she wasn’t ready to share. The front door opened before we even reached it, and there stood Mama, smiling weakly but genuinely. She leaned on her cane, her movements slower since the surgery, but her spirit was intact. Ruby was by her side in a flash, steadying her and guiding her gently back into the living room. “Ruby, you didn’t have to come all the way here if the boutique was busy,” Mama said softly, though her eyes betrayed how much she appreciated the gesture. “I wanted to,” Ruby replied simply, her voice steady, “And you know me, I don’t trust anyone else to make sure you’re properly ta
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 461 Security
(Thomas)The office felt unusually stifling today, as if the walls were closing in on me. My desk was piled with documents, but my attention was split. Half of my mind churned through what would happen when I met Nathan again.I had not seen him face to face since the last time, the night I found Lydia after he had kidnapped her. My blood boiled just thinking about that moment. I would have made a rash decision if it wasn’t for Lydia’s hand in mind and the thought of our kids, their smiling faces flashing through my mind.They had already spent so much time without me, their dad, I wasn’t going to make a horrible decision by harming Nathan and landing myself behind bars.I was glad that I hadn’t acted out of emotion, but that was also due to the fact that Lydia was right in front of me, looking relatively unharmed. If he had done something to her…then I would have taken it into my hands.Apart from this, there was also the added stress of finding another personal assistant for myself.
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 460 Banged Knee or a Lie
(Lydia)By the time I reached Ruby’s apartment, I could hardly breathe. My legs burned from climbing the stairs two at a time, but I didn’t care. My mind was racing, filled with every worst-case scenario I could imagine. Ruby’s phone going unanswered and her not showing up at the mansion had sent my thoughts spiraling into dark territory.I pounded on her door, my fist landing hard against the wood.“Ruby? Open up! It’s me!”The hallway was eerily silent, my frantic knocks echoing off the walls. I pressed my ear to the door, hoping to catch even the faintest sound of movement inside.“Ruby, please! Are you okay?”The seconds stretched unbearably. Then, finally, I heard the muffled shuffle of footsteps. Relief surged through me, but it was fleeting.The door opened just a crack, and Ruby appeared, peeking through the gap. Her face was calm, but her eyes held a flicker of something…annoyance? Discomfort?“Lydia,” she said, her voice carefully even, “What are you doing here?”I pushed th
