After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 219 Should I or Should I Not?
(Lydia)I was dropped off at the front of the hotel in half an hour. Roger was following me along and I knew that soon he would have to change his shifts.Nervousness bubbled up in my gut as I realized that the thing I had planned needed to be executed as well.Clara had told me so many things about Nathan, but until I had proof, there was nothing I could do about it, even if I went to the police.It was unfair but that was how the world worked. And someone like Nathan could easily hide behind his worldwide known persona of being Hollywood’s sweetheart.It would be someone like Clara or me who would have to take the brunt of it.Keeping all of this in mind, I still decided that there was no way I was letting Nathan get away with it. He had dared enter my home and watched me like a creep. He was abusive towards Clara and he hid it all behind this persona of a reserved and cheerful person.We went up to my room and as soon as the door was closed behind me, I was ready to get changed int
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 220 Clue
(Lydia)I could feel my heart racing like it had never before. The click of the shoes seemed louder than usual. Perhaps it was because I was lying flat on the ground but at that moment, every footfall made me want to flinch.I held my breath as two pairs of feet entered my line of sight as the lights were turned on. I could hear what they were talking about.Nathan was the one to speak first, “Thank you so much for doing this, I really can’t know where I lost my wallet, I’m sure the key was in there.”Someone from the staff replied, “That’s completely fine, sir. I’m here for anything you might need. Use this key from now on and please feel free to reach me whenever you want.”I was still in place as the staff left the room. There was a beat of silence and then Nathan cursed loudly. He reached for his suitcase and picked it up. He put it haphazardly onto the bed.I could hear him muttering, “Where was it? Where is it?”His voice was filled with agitation as he looked for something in h
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 221 So Close To Losing Them
(Lydia)I could not believe that this was happening. I had no idea that Thomas could do something like this to me.When I called him back, I had not expected him to tell me that Miles had an allergic reaction while he was at school, and because of that he had to be admitted to the hospital.What had been even more infuriating was that it had been almost two days since the incident and I was just now finding out about this.Miles is my son. There was nothing in the world more important than my son and my daughter to me. If something happened to them, then how could I go on like this?I was nothing without them in my life. They brought me joy, they were the ones who kept me going when everything else in my life was hopeless.I couldn’t say much to Thomas during our phone call, but as I sat on the plane, ready to go back home earlier than scheduled, I decided to give him a piece of my mind to let him know that what he had done was unacceptable.I was jittery and couldn’t eat or drink an
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 222 How Could You?
(Lydia)Thomas was waiting for me by the entrance to the mansion. I could tell just by his face that he looked nervous.Good.That was how he should feel exactly.I didn’t know if it was stupidity or what, but he really should have told me what happened.As soon as the car came to a stop, I jumped out of it and sprinted towards Thomas.“How could you?” I told him, coming to a stop in front of him, “You know what those children mean to me, so how could you?”I shook my head not waiting for any answer and passed him to get into the mansion. I ran up the stairs two at a time and was out of breath when I reached the children’s room. It was early in the morning and both of them were fast asleep in their respective beds.My heart filled with warmth when I saw them. It felt like the rest of the weight from my chest had been lifted.I walked towards Mabel and pressed a kiss to her forehead gently before cautiously moving towards Miles. I carefully kneeled beside his bed and pressed a kiss to
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 223 Very, Very Long Time
(Thomas)I watched Lydia as she came to a decision wordlessly. There was a steely look in her eyes when she said, “I think I know who broke into my home.”My mouth fell open at the insinuation. “What? How do you know that?” I asked, getting closer to put my hands on her upper arms, “Are you okay? Did the stalker attack you or seek you out? Did you see him again?”Lydia took a deep breath and shook her head, “No, he didn’t seek me out, but I know someone and it’s highly plausible that it’s them.”“Who is it?” I asked her.She sighed, her shoulders slumping before she said, “I have reason to believe that it’s Nathan.”I didn’t know what to say to that. A muted kind of horror entered my body and all I could do was blink.The man who had been working so closely with Lydia could be the one who broke into her home.That man was there on our children’s birthday. We had allowed him to be at our place, inside of our home in the vicinity of our children.“How can you be sure it was him?” I aske
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 224 Off Of My Chest
(Lydia)I held onto Thomas for as long as I could. We had been standing at the balcony for quite a while now but I needed this moment of respite after getting this heavy burden off of my chest.I burrowed my face into Thomas’ neck and breathed in his scent, trying to bury it into my brain because this was the scent that made me feel the safest in the world. There was nowhere else and no one else with whom I felt more secure than I do at the moment.“Thank you,” I murmured as I nosed along his neck and then the angle of his job, “I don’t know what I would do without you in my life.”Thomas chuckled against my hair, “You are very brave, Lydia. So I’m sure you would have already figured something out.”Despite feeling all sorts of emotions, I laughed out loud at his words. “You give me too much credit, my love.”The endearment slipped off my tongue before I even realized it. I blushed when I remembered this was what I used to call him when we were all lovey-dovey.I didn’t mean to say it
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 225 Disappointed
(Thomas)I didn’t want to make it seem like I was disappointed, but the news of Lydia not being able to attend the golden jubilee was disappointing.I was planning to ask her to marry me after the event and now, she would not even be here.After the plethora of emotions we felt, I took the news in stride because I didn’t want to burden her any further than she already was. I had made her a delicious breakfast of eggs and sausage and eaten with her until the children had woken up.Miles had been all sunshine and smiles, happy to see his Mommy back home. Mabel was right there with him. The two of them had not left her sight even as I was leaving for the office for the day.I had to take a two-day off because of Miles and work was piling up for me.I left the car in the parking lot and waited for the elevator while checking up on updates and emails.One of them was from Mabel and Miles’ preschool letting me know that there was a meeting they were holding tomorrow to discuss Miles’ case.
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 226 To L.A.
(Thomas)Barely a minute later, Jack was entering my office. He took a seat in front of me and asked, “What is it?”Actually, I had no idea where to even start from. I contemplated it for a moment before I blurted out, “I have decided to go to L.A. with Lydia for this red carpet event.”He raised his brows at me. “What about the proposal? Don’t tell me you’re thinking of doing it in L.A.?”Well, that is a nice thought but I decided to postpone it until we were out of this situation.I shook my head, “I’m not proposing right now. Will you hold onto the ring for me? For now, at least, it’s getting delivered tomorrow, correct?”He nodded, “It’s going to get delivered to my apartment,” then looked at me questioningly, “Did you call me here just for that?”I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose before saying, “I need you and Ruby at the mansion. I know you guys would rather maintain your distance from mother, but Lydia and I will be out of the city and I need to make sure that both of th

After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 468 Stubborn
(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
