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

(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.

(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

(Lydia)The room was dark, save for the faint moonlight filtering through the curtains. Thomas was asleep beside me, his breathing soft and steady. I watched him for a moment, the calmness of his face in sleep offering me no comfort tonight. I slipped out of bed quietly, careful not to wake him, and padded down the hall to check on the kids. I pushed open the door to Mabel and Miles’ room and peeked in. They were fast asleep, their small bodies curled up in their blankets, peaceful and unaware of the storm swirling in my mind.I lingered there for a moment, watching their tiny chests rise and fall. They always looked so innocent when they slept, and in those quiet moments, it was easy to forget the chaos waiting just outside our bubble. But I couldn’t sleep. The unease that had settled in my chest after Jack’s visit earlier still hadn’t left me. I closed the door gently and made my way back down the hall, my feet instinctively carrying me toward the balcony.Jack’s face had been etc

(Lydia)The morning was still quiet, the sun barely cresting the horizon, when I stepped into the kitchen. I knew it was early, but the message I’d sent out the night before would be read soon if it hadn’t been already. All of them had already read it by now so there was no avoiding what needed to happen today.I moved to the counter and began prepping breakfast. I could have asked the cook to handle it, but I liked doing it myself. Cooking gave me something to focus on, something to keep my hands busy when my mind was swirling. I cracked eggs into a bowl and whisked them, my thoughts moving just as fast as my hands.We had to move on Nathan, and we had to do it soon. But bringing Ruby and Jack into this, after everything…was going to be hard. I’d seen the hurt in Ruby’s eyes after what had happened between them. I wasn’t sure if they were ready to work together, but we didn’t have much of a choice.As I poured the eggs into a pan, I felt Thomas come up behind me. He pressed a kiss to

(Thomas)After we finished explaining the plan to Ruby and Jack, Lydia and I left the mansion, heading back to her house. The conversation had gone as well as I could have expected, but there was still tension in the air. Jack’s protectiveness was a force to be reckoned with, and Ruby’s concern wasn’t far behind. It had taken everything in me to convince them that using Lydia as bait was the best course of action. The anger simmering beneath their words was obvious, but they’d agreed. We didn’t have much of a choice if we wanted to catch Nathan.As we pulled up to Lydia’s house, I could feel Lydia tense. This was the first time we had come back here after everything went down. It felt like it happened a long time ago but barely two weeks had passed since then. The house stood in stark contrast to the madness we were about to unleash. It was a place that should have felt like a sanctuary, but with Nathan lurking in the shadows, nowhere felt truly safe. I knew Lydia could feel it too

(Lydia)Sitting on the couch in what was once my sanctuary, I couldn’t shake the feeling that my house didn’t feel like home anymore. Every corner of this place, once filled with warmth and safety, now felt foreign. The walls that used to protect me seemed to have eyes because of the hidden cameras, surveillance equipment, and an entire security system that George and Thomas had set up to keep us safe. But in doing so, it had stripped away the one thing I valued most: peace.The knowledge that Nathan was out there, watching, lurking, had turned my home into a carefully orchestrated trap. I understood why it had to be this way, but it didn’t stop the knot of unease that sat in my stomach. How could I feel safe knowing there were cameras in nearly every other room? Knowing that George, our private investigator, was constantly watching? The paranoia crept in at the edges of my mind, and I couldn’t help but glance at the ceiling now and then, wondering if the cameras were catching the e

(Lydia)The reception was everything I had dreamed of and more. The air was filled with the sound of laughter, music, and the clinking of glasses. The venue, bathed in the soft glow of fairy lights, felt magical, as though we were all living in a dream. Thomas and I had just shared our vows, but now the celebration was in full swing, and the joy in the air was palpable.Mabel and Miles were the stars of the evening, as expected. They had barely left the dance floor since the music started, their little feet moving in uncoordinated yet adorable ways. Miles was trying to spin in circles, his arms flailing around as Mabel, ever the perfectionist, tried to keep him in check. They were a sight to behold, so carefree and full of life. Their giggles and shouts of “Look at me!” filled the room, and I couldn’t help but laugh along with them.Thomas was by my side, his hand gently resting on my back as we watched our children steal the show. The evening felt like it was slipping by in the most
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 599 The Wedding Day
(Thomas)The day had finally arrived. Our wedding day.I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting my tie for the fifth time, trying to focus on the simple task instead of the rush of emotions threatening to overwhelm me. I couldn’t stop the memories from creeping in, images of Lydia in a wedding dress years ago, her radiant smile lighting up the room, and the way my heart had soared knowing she was about to become my wife.And then, the accident. The chaos, the pain, the years we spent finding our way back to each other.Today wasn’t just about vows or rings. It was about us. About the journey we had taken, the battles we had fought, and the love that had carried us through it all.A knock on the door pulled me from my thoughts. Jack stepped in, looking sharp in his suit, his usual easygoing expression replaced by something softer.“You doing okay?” he asked, leaning against the doorframe.I nodded, though my reflection betrayed me. “Just...a lot to process.”Jack walked over, clapping
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 598 Chaos and Vows
(Lydia)With only a week left until the wedding, the house felt like a beehive, everyone buzzing with purpose, energy, and, occasionally, a touch of chaos. I stood in the middle of it all, both exhilarated and slightly overwhelmed.Ruby was in the corner of Mama’s room, hunched over her sewing machine, her brow furrowed in concentration. My wedding dress hung on a nearby mannequin, almost complete but still needing those final, intricate touches that only Ruby could master. She was doing this here because if she needed to know any adjustments, I would just be a few rooms away.She was holed up in Mama’s room because she didn’t want Thomas to get a glimpse of the wedding dress, not until the day of the wedding as I walked down the aisle.“Are you sure you don’t need a break?” I asked, holding out a cup of tea for her.Ruby looked up, her eyes tired but determined. “Not until this hem is perfect. You’re going to look stunning, Lydia. Just trust me.”“I do,” I said softly, setting the te
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 597 Vision Came to Life
(Thomas)The moment we pulled up to the venue, I felt a mix of anticipation and pride. The sprawling garden, framed by blooming flowers and soft sunlight, looked like something out of a dream. This was it, the place where Lydia and I would officially start the next chapter of our lives.Mabel and Miles were already buzzing with excitement, craning their necks to get a better look as the car slowed to a stop.“Is that where we’re going to walk with the flowers?” Mabel asked, pointing to the long stone pathway that led to the main garden.“It is,” I said, glancing at Lydia, who was smiling softly.“It’s so pretty!” Miles added, practically bouncing in his seat.Once we were out of the car, the kids ran ahead, their laughter echoing in the crisp air. Lydia and I followed at a slower pace, her hand tucked into mine.“Can you believe it’s almost here?” she asked, her voice tinged with disbelief.I shook my head. “It feels surreal. But seeing this place again...it makes it all feel real.”T
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 596 Guest List
(Lydia)Sitting at the dining table with Thomas, a notebook in front of me and a pen in hand, I felt an odd mix of excitement and dread. Finalizing the guest list for our wedding should have been a straightforward task, but when Margaret got involved, nothing ever stayed simple for long.I glanced at Thomas, who was scrolling through his phone, cross-checking names. He looked calm, but I knew better. We were both bracing ourselves for the inevitable drama.“Are we really going to put up with Margaret’s list of distant cousins and relatives we’ve never met?” I asked, my voice low but pointed.Thomas sighed and set his phone down. “You know how mother is. She thinks a wedding is a chance to show off family connections.”“Well, it’s not her wedding,” I said firmly. “It’s ours, and I want it to feel personal, not like some society gala.”Thomas reached over and squeezed my hand. “I agree with you. But let’s try to handle this delicately. You know how she can get.”Before I could respond,
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 595 Sparkles and Glittery Petals
(Thomas)The house was alive with energy, and it all revolved around two very determined little people: Mabel and Miles. Ever since we’d told them they were going to be the flower girl and flower boy at the wedding, their excitement had reached a whole new level. They were taking their roles very seriously, perhaps even more seriously than Lydia and I were taking the rest of the wedding planning.This morning, the focus was on their outfits. Lydia and I had arranged for a tailor to come to the house to ensure everything fit perfectly. Mabel was already dressed in a soft pink dress with layers of tulle that made her look like a little princess. She twirled in front of the mirror, her curls bouncing with every spin.“Do you think I need a tiara, Daddy?” she asked, her big brown eyes wide with sincerity.I crouched down to her level, brushing a stray curl from her face. “I think you’re perfect just the way you are, sweetheart. But if you really want a tiara, we can look for one.”Mabel c
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 594 The Wedding Dress
(Lydia)The morning sun streamed through the windows as I parked outside Ruby’s boutique. My heart fluttered with a mix of nerves and excitement. In just two weeks, I would be walking down the aisle to marry Thomas, the man who had stood by me through everything. But today, all I could think about was my first fitting for the wedding dress Ruby had been tirelessly designing.As I stepped into the boutique, the soft chime of the bell announced my arrival. Ruby appeared from the back room, her face lighting up with a smile that instantly put me at ease.“You’re here!” she said, walking over to hug me. “I’ve been waiting for this all week.”“I’ve been counting down the days,” I admitted, hugging her back. “I’m nervous, though. What if the dress doesn’t feel right? What if-”Ruby placed her hands on my shoulders, her expression firm but kind. “Stop right there. This dress is going to be perfect because it’s made for you, by me. Trust me, Lydia.”I took a deep breath and nodded. “Okay. I t
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 593 Fading Shadows of the Past
(Lydia)The sunlight poured down as I stepped out of the car, grocery list in hand. For the first time in what felt like forever, I wasn’t looking over my shoulder or scanning the parking lot for anything suspicious. Ben, my personal bodyguard, walked a few paces behind me, his presence a quiet reassurance. But today, I didn’t feel like I needed him as much as I had in the past.The air felt lighter, and so did I. It was as if the dark cloud that had loomed over my life for so long had finally dissipated. Nathan was gone, Lucien was behind bars, and the world was moving on. So was I.Inside the grocery store, I grabbed a cart and started down the aisles. It felt good to do something as ordinary as picking out apples and comparing cereal brands. For so long, I’d avoided public places, afraid of the whispers and stares. But today, there were none. People walked past me, absorbed in their own lives, and it was blissfully normal.I paused by the bakery section, tempted by the scent of fre
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 592 A Garden Wedding
(Lydia)The sleek glass doors of the event management company slid open, and Thomas and I stepped inside. The lobby was stunning, a perfect balance of elegance and modernity. Polished marble floors gleamed under the soft glow of chandelier lights, and a gentle floral scent wafted through the air. A cheerful receptionist greeted us, offering sparkling water while we waited for our meeting.Thomas leaned toward me, his hand resting lightly on the small of my back. “This place screams ‘perfect wedding,’ doesn’t it?”I smiled, squeezing his arm. “Let’s see if they can live up to the hype.”It was Margaret who had given us the name of this event management company after making her calls and asking around for suggestions. And as far as I could tell, the place looked like the sort of company I would have chosen for myself.Moments later, a tall, impeccably dressed man approached us with a wide smile. His tailored navy suit and silk pocket square spoke volumes about his attention to detail.
