(Thomas)As the plane touched down in Denver, I could feel the tension in my shoulders begin to ease. It had been a long flight, longer than it should’ve been, but I knew it was more than just the hours in the air that made me feel like that. We were both exhausted, emotionally and physically, after everything that had happened in L.A. But as we got closer to the mansion, I noticed something shift in Lydia.She had been quiet most of the flight, lost in her own thoughts, but now, as we drove through the familiar streets leading home, her face softened. Her eyes lit up, a spark of warmth breaking through the fatigue. I didn’t have to ask what she was thinking about because I already knew.Mabel and Miles. Our kids were the center of her world, the one thing that could pull her out of the darkness that Nathan had dragged her into. And honestly, I felt it too. It had been too long since we’d seen them, too long since we’d been a family under the same roof. I glanced at Lydia as she loo
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 278 Mother
(Thomas)As I closed the door behind me, the soft laughter of Mabel and Miles faded into the distance, and the sound of Lydia’s voice, gentle but firm, carried faintly through the hallway. I hesitated, just for a moment. The warmth of that room, the safety of being with them, was hard to step away from. But I had other matters to tend to. I couldn’t ignore what was happening between mother and Jack any longer. It had been brewing ever since mother announced Jack’s so-called “marriage” to Amanda. It was a marriage that wasn’t even real. The entire family was thrown into confusion, and Jack, well, he hadn’t been himself since then. I needed to get to the bottom of this, for his sake and everyone else’s.I called one of my workers and kept my voice measured when I said, "Please send mother to my office." As I stood there waiting, a knot of unease twisted tighter in my stomach. What would I even say to her? Would she listen? Mother had always been strong-willed, determined, and so utterl
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 279 What’s Done is Done
(Thomas)Jack stepped into the room, and I could feel the way he was done with all of it just by the look in his eyes. He looked worn out, his shoulders slouched in a way that wasn’t typical for him. His eyes flicked between me and mother, and though he didn’t say anything, the tension was palpable. The room was already thick with it.Mother let out a loud, deliberate sigh, breaking the silence. “Well,” she began, her voice sharp with finality, “What’s done is done. We can’t change it now.” She crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair as if that settled everything.But it didn’t settle anything. “No,” I interjected, my voice firmer than I intended. “Something can still be done about it. Jack can hold a press release, and announce that this whole thing was a misunderstanding. He and Amanda are just friends and nothing more. They never had any intention of getting married.”I glanced at Jack, hoping he would back me up, but I could see the hesitation in his eyes. He shifted on his

(Lydia)There’s nothing better than spending a day with your kids. After being apart from Mabel and Miles for what felt like ages but were only a few days, it felt like I could finally breathe again. The moment I got out of the car and they came running toward me, their little faces lighting up with joy, I felt like a part of me that had been missing fell back into place. The rest of the day was a blur of laughter, macaroni and cheese, and reading The Little Prince at least three times. And honestly, I wouldn’t have had it any other way. Every page we turned, every bite of food shared, made me realize how much I had missed them.For a while, it was like the outside world didn’t exist, like nothing else mattered except being with them. But there were other things, other people, who needed my attention. Ruby, especially, needed my attention. She’d been staying over at Adam’s apartment, and though I was grateful to him for looking after her, I knew I should be seeking her out to find
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 281 Garden Chase
(Lydia)When I got home, the first thing I saw was Thomas in the garden with the kids. Thomas, Mabel, and Miles were all huddled together, hands deep in the soil, their faces full of concentration. They were planting something and when I asked, the gardener who was standing to the side and watching them create a mess in the dirt, I got to know that they were planting sunflowers. I guess it was a little project Thomas had come up with for them. The idea was that we’d plant something new every year, a symbol of what we’d done together, and watch it grow. He had said something about it yesterday but I hadn’t paid too much attention. It was a beautiful plan, really, but at this moment, it was mostly messy. They were all covered in dirt, head to toe, and I couldn’t help but laugh. They looked like little garden gnomes, including Thomas. Mabel had a streak of mud across her cheek, and Miles was gleefully patting dirt down around the plant as though it was the most important job in the wo
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 282 Care To Explain?
(Jack)The decision wasn’t easy, but after thinking long and hard about it, I knew Thomas was right. There was no other way to clean up this mess than to face it head-on. I had spent the last few days trying to figure out how things had gone so terribly wrong, how my life had spiraled into a public spectacle. Amanda, my mother, Ruby, it was all tangled together in a web of manipulation, and I had no choice but to cut through it. A press conference was the only way to get ahead of the story. I hated the idea of putting myself out there like that, but Thomas’ suggestion of announcing that everything had been a misunderstanding seemed like the cleanest way to undo the damage from the Golden Jubilee event. I’d clarify that there had never been an engagement between Amanda and me, and hopefully, the media frenzy would die down.At the end of the workday, after much hesitation, I called my assistant into the office. “I need you to prepare a press conference,” I said, my voice sounding more

(Ruby)I had just gotten into a rhythm, sketching out the soft lines of a dress I’d been imagining for days, when Adam came into the room. The look on his face immediately told me something was wrong. His eyes were wide, lips slightly parted as if he'd seen something that shocked him. He didn’t say anything at first, just walked over and handed me his phone.“Ruby, you need to see this,” he said quietly.I hesitated, not wanting to be pulled out of the world I’d just managed to retreat into, but curiosity and a familiar sinking feeling in my gut pushed me to take the phone from him. There, on the screen, was Jack, standing at a podium, the bright flashes of cameras surrounding him. My breath caught in my throat as I realized what this was.I hit play.“I’ve called you here today to address the confusion regarding my relationship with Amanda,” Jack’s voice rang out through the room, the image of him so clear on the small screen that it felt like he was standing right in front of me. Hi
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 284 One Last Time
(Jack)I stood outside the mansion, feeling a wave of hesitation wash over me. My hand hovered near the doorbell, nerves still tingling after what happened at the press conference. I felt like someone had played the biggest joke on me.Still, there was hope in me. After everything that had happened, I was still hoping that the one person who I knew loved me, the one person who believed in me, would give me a chance to make it all better.That person was Ruby.That was why I was here, not for any other reason.The problem was that I didn’t even know where she was right now, but Lydia would know. She had to.The last few days had been a whirlwind, and I still couldn’t wrap my head around how I’d ended up here. It feels like my whole life has spiraled out of control. The image of that reporter flashing those photos at me was seared into my mind. I hadn’t known I was being followed by paparazzi when I went on those dates. Hell, I hadn’t even wanted to go on them, but I couldn’t say no to

(Adeline)The front garden was always my favorite place to sit, especially in the morning. The air carried a crisp freshness, and the soft rustle of leaves felt like nature’s whisper of reassurance. Today, I felt lighter, less weighed down by the fog of fatigue that had wrapped around me since the surgery. A week had passed, and though I knew there was still a long road ahead, scans, radiotherapy, and who knew what else, I was grateful for small mercies like this. Lydia sat beside me, her posture relaxed but her eyes distant. She should have been glowing after her date with Thomas last night; I’d seen her excitement all day leading up to it. Yet, there was something off about her today, a subtle undercurrent of worry she couldn’t quite hide. I reached over and patted her hand, drawing her out of her thoughts, “You seem troubled, my dear. What’s on your mind?” She blinked, then gave me a soft smile, though it didn’t quite reach her eyes, “Nothing to worry about, Mama. Just…think
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 470 I Was Wrong
(Margaret)The mansion was quiet, its grand halls and rooms bathed in moonlight, but I was still awake, as I often was these days. Sleep came sparingly. I’d taken to wandering the mansion late at night, a habit born of restlessness and regret. Tonight, I found myself seated in the parlor, nursing a lukewarm cup of tea, when I heard the faint creak of the front door. Ruby. Her steps were light but purposeful, and as she crossed into the hallway, I caught a glimpse of her face. She looked lost in thought, her brow furrowed, her lips pressed into a thin line. There was something about her expression that tugged at me, a pang I couldn’t quite place but that settled uncomfortably in my chest. “Ruby,” I called gently, my voice cutting through the stillness. She froze for a moment, her back to me, before turning slightly, her posture tense. Her eyes met mine briefly, a flicker of something unreadable passing through them, before she resumed her stride, heading toward the staircase.
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 469 A Hurried Departure
(Jack)The room was bathed in the muted glow of the television, the credits of the movie rolling silently on the screen. Ruby lay beside me, her head resting lightly against my shoulder, her breathing slow and even as she slept. I didn’t dare move. Instead, I let my gaze linger on her, taking in the soft lines of her face, the way her lashes rested against her cheeks, the slight rise and fall of her chest. Her hair framed her face, catching the dim light in a way that made her look almost ethereal. I shouldn’t be doing this, shouldn’t let myself get caught up in the illusion. But in that moment, it felt impossible not to. For years, this apartment had been a space I’d tried to keep void of emotion, a place where I could compartmentalize my life, separate work from personal chaos. But Ruby had changed that. When she’d been here, this place had felt alive, warm. And now, with her asleep beside me, it felt like a dream I didn’t want to wake up from.My mind wandered back to the few
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
