After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 338 News from the Defamation Trial
(Lydia)The house was quiet, too quiet for my liking. I sat on the edge of the couch, staring at my phone, scrolling through news, expecting any minute for the world to explode. But it hadn’t. Not yet, anyway. The silence felt like a ticking bomb.Nathan’s name was plastered across the headlines, but not for what we had set in motion. Not yet. The charges Thomas and I were filing against him had yet to break in the news. Our legal team had been very careful to make sure everything was airtight before we made a move. I understood the need for caution, but the waiting was unbearable. Every day felt like a battle between anticipation and dread.I glanced over at Thomas, who was standing by the window, his hands in his pockets, staring out at the front garden but not really seeing anything. I knew he felt the same way. We’d been holding our breath for so long, I wasn’t sure we’d remember how to exhale when this was over.“When do you think it’ll break?” I asked, my voice sounding small in
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 339 For The Truth
(Thomas)The courtroom lights felt blinding as we walked in, the buzz of cameras flashing just outside the doors still echoing in my ears. Lydia’s hand was in mine, her grip tight, and I could feel the tension in every muscle of her body. I squeezed her hand gently, hoping to give her some comfort, though I knew I was in no better shape. The media frenzy outside had been relentless, even before Nathan’s formal charges were announced. And now, it was like being thrown into a lion’s den.Things had moved swiftly after all the evidence was with the law. And with the connections I had, the trial became the top priority for everyone.Nathan was finally where he belonged, in the defendant’s chair, formally charged with crimes I had spent months believing I’d never see him held accountable for. But as much as this trial should have been about his guilt, it had become something else. It had become a spectacle, a theater for the public to feast on.I felt the weight of a hundred eyes on us as
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 340 Speaking My Truth
(Lydia)The courtroom was tense, a palpable weight hanging in the air as I sat in the witness stand, surrounded by the bright lights and cameras flashing like stars in an endless night. I could feel Nathan’s gaze on me, cold and piercing, like a knife cutting through the heavy atmosphere. He was seated just a few feet away, and every time I glanced in his direction, my stomach twisted in knots. I had to remind myself that I was stronger than him, that I was here for a reason.The judge called the court to order, and I took a deep breath, forcing my thoughts to settle. I wasn’t just fighting for myself; I was fighting for all the women he had hurt, for the truth that needed to be revealed. I couldn’t let fear control me, especially not now.“Ms. Lydia,” the prosecutor began, his voice steady and clear, “can you tell us about your relationship with Mr. Nathan Andrews?”I hesitated for a moment, the memories flooding back. It felt like stepping into a dark room filled with shadows, but
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 341 Respite From The Chaos
(Lydia)The sound of laughter filled the mansion as Mabel and Miles dashed through the living room, their giggles echoing off the walls like music. The chaos of the trial seemed distant for the moment, and I took a deep breath, trying to soak in the warmth of this family time. It was a precious break from the storm that had engulfed our lives. Thomas sat on the couch, his head tilted back, eyes closed, a soft smile on his lips as he watched our children play.“Hey, you two!” I called out, my voice breaking through their exuberance. “Let’s not turn the living room into a race track, okay?”Miles skidded to a stop and looked at me with wide eyes. “But, Mommy, we’re just practicing for the Olympics!” he protested, a cheeky grin stretching across his face.“Yeah, Mommy! Just a little bit of practice!” Mabel chimed in, her tiny hands on her hips, mimicking Thomas’s stance from earlier when he was reading them the rules of the game they were playing.I laughed, my heart swelling with love
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 342 Odd
(Lydia)I met Ruby at the front of the hospital and couldn’t help but give her a long and hard hug. It had been quite some time since I had seen her.Time slipped through my fingers because I had been distracted by the trial that was still going on. The investigation had turned another direction entirely because of the drug case. They were grilling Nathan about what he knew.One thing that bothered me though was that Nathan was able to get out from behind bars through some sort of connection. He was on house arrest, however, it still bothered that he could manipulate terms like this.I took a deep breath and pulled out all thoughts of Nathan, replacing them with Ruby and finally meeting her again.“I missed you, you know?” I murmured.“I missed you too,” Ruby said, taking in a deep breath.“I missed my girls together as well,” Mama joined the hug as we all burst into laughter.“Let’s catch up after the appointment, okay? I want to know what you’ve been up to,” I told Ruby as the three
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 343 Don’t Count On All of It
(Lydia)The bright afternoon sun was now slipping behind the horizon as I stood near the car, trying to shake off the unease that had settled over me since I couldn’t reach the driver. I took a deep breath, willing myself to remain calm as I turned back toward the hospital entrance. Ruby would be waiting, probably worried. I was just about to call her when I felt it, a sudden rush of movement from behind me.Before I could react, a rough cloth was pressed against my mouth, and a strong arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me backward. I struggled, instinctively kicking out and clawing at the hands that held me. Panic surged through my veins, but the cloth was soaked with something that made my limbs heavy and my vision blur. My heart raced as I fought to scream, but my voice was muffled. Just when I thought I might break free, everything faded to black.When I finally came to my senses, disorientation wrapped around me like a heavy blanket. My head throbbed, and I blinked against the
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 344 Let Her Be Safe
(Ruby)I stood in the hospital waiting room, glancing up every few seconds at the clock on the wall. Lydia had said she’d only be a moment. Just a quick call to sort out the driver situation, and she’d be back. But the minutes ticked by, and there was no sign of her. The waiting room was crowded, busy with people coming in and out, but it all blurred together as a nagging worry started to settle in my gut. “Where is she?” I muttered, more to myself than anyone else.“Ruby, dear, she’s probably just outside,” Mama said gently, looking up from her seat. Her voice was calm, but I could see the same worry beginning to cloud her eyes. She’d been through so much lately, and I didn’t want her to worry more than she already was.“I’ll go check,” I said, trying to keep the anxiety out of my voice as I stood up. “Stay here, Mama. I’ll bring her right back.”Stepping outside, I was greeted by the cool evening air. Shadows were lengthening as the sun dipped lower on the horizon. I squinted, scan
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 345 The Grim Reality
(Jack)I tried to keep my face steady, my hands jammed into my pockets to hide how tightly I was gripping them. I didn’t want to let on just how furious I was as we watched the grainy footage on the security monitor. The camera wasn’t even aimed directly at the lot, just capturing it in pieces. But it was enough to see what happened. Lydia was there, her figure unmistakable as she walked through the parking area and reached her car. She was glancing down at her phone, unsuspecting. And then there was a blur of movement behind her. Several people, shadows at first, and then they were on her, dragging her backward as she struggled. The video cut off just as she disappeared from the frame.Beside me, I could feel Ruby tense, fighting to hold back whatever fear or anger was tearing at her from the inside. It was the same feeling clawing at my own gut, but she was holding it together with a kind of resolve that I’d never seen before. She hadn’t shed a tear, but her fists were clenched,

(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
