After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 368 Help
(Jack)The morning light spilled through the office windows as I walked into the building, the familiar smell of coffee and polished wood greeting me like an old friend. Yet, today, it felt more like an echo of the chaos that had unfolded over the past few weeks. My thoughts immediately drifted to Ruby, her laughter still resonating in my ears from yesterday. I couldn’t shake the feeling of regret, how I had let things slip away between us. Every time I closed my eyes, I could see her smile and the way her eyes sparkled with mischief, a stark contrast to the somber atmosphere that had surrounded us recently.As I moved through the hallway, my mind was racing with a blend of emotions, anger, sadness, and a yearning to reconnect with Ruby. But I knew I had to focus. Nathan was behind bars, and there was still a lot to clean up in the aftermath of his chaos. I pushed open the door to my office, ready to tackle the day, but the sight before me gave me pause.Amanda was already there, si
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 369 Chaos Outside the Mansion
(Lydia)The pounding on the gates started just as the afternoon sun dipped behind the hills. At first, it was just faint shouting. Angry voices echoing off the iron fences. I brushed it off, focusing on folding the kids’ laundry in the living room while they colored in their favorite books nearby. But the shouting didn’t stop. Instead, it grew louder, angrier, like a storm brewing just outside our walls.“Mabel, Miles,” I called softly, trying to keep my voice steady. “Why don’t we go into the playroom? I have a new game we can try.” I kept my voice light and cheerful, but they could sense the tension, Mabel’s wide-eyed gaze meeting mine with that uncanny, perceptive look only a child can have.I led them down the hallway and closed the playroom door. As the voices outside grew louder, I forced myself to keep smiling, crouching down so I could look at both of them at their eye level.“Listen, kids, there are some people outside who are just being silly,” I said, feeling my heart twist
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 370 Unhinged
(Thomas)The scene outside our home had calmed, but the air was still thick with tension. I watched the last of the protesters disperse, guards ushering them away from the property with final, stern gestures. The police had finally shown up, although I’d already been on the phone with them for half an hour, demanding more serious protection. Today, a crowd had managed to breach the gate. Tomorrow, who knew what they might try? It felt like we were living in a pressure cooker, with no way to predict when the next explosion would come.My phone vibrated in my pocket. I glanced down to see Jack’s name flashing on the screen. He’d called earlier when he heard about the incident, but I hadn’t had time to talk yet. I took a deep breath and answered, my mind already racing with what we needed to do next.“Hey, Jack,” I said, keeping my voice low as I paced the living room, glancing at the door to the playroom where Lydia was keeping the kids occupied.“Thomas, I heard about what happened. A
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 371 Looking Over Our Shoulders
(Lydia)Thomas and I stood in the quiet of the living room, the echoes of the day’s chaos still lingering in the air. The police had finally left, and the last of Nathan’s so-called supporters had been ushered away by the guards. I could still see the heavy fatigue in Thomas’s face, his shoulders sagging with the weight of the day. He looked over at me, his gaze steady yet filled with a question I’d sensed brewing ever since the crowd had gathered outside our gates.“Lydia,” he began, his voice soft, careful, as if each word might push me in one direction or the other, “We need to talk about moving.”The words hung in the air between us. I looked at him, letting his question settle in. I knew this was where his mind would go after everything that had happened. I had seen him pacing, glancing out the window with that protective look he wore whenever things got too close to home. I reached out, taking his hand, wanting him to know I understood his fears even if I didn’t share them.“Tho

(Lydia)The morning sunlight filtered through the windows, casting a warm glow across the kitchen table, but my heart felt anything but light. I watched as Mabel and Miles played quietly in the living room, their laughter and little voices filling the house with the innocence that had kept us grounded through so much turmoil. But the incident with Nathan’s fans invading our privacy and the constant, lingering tension outside our home had left a mark. A nagging feeling I couldn’t shake, a tightening worry in my chest whenever I thought of them going off to school.I glanced at Thomas as he sipped his coffee, looking as worn down as I felt, though he’d never let on. The sleepless nights, the constant strain of trying to keep our family safe while dealing with our careers and the fallout from Nathan’s actions, it was wearing on both of us. But through it all, Thomas remained strong, the steady rock we could lean on. And I didn’t want to burden him with more worries. Still, I knew I had
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 373 Back to the Office
(Thomas)The office felt different. Maybe it was me who’d changed, but everything about this place, the familiar beige walls, the hum of computers, and the scent of stale coffee seemed sharper, almost too vivid, like I was seeing it through a lens that exaggerated every detail. I could feel my pulse pounding in my throat as I walked in, wondering how long it would take before someone mentioned it. What do you even say to a man whose wife was kidnapped?It had become a public spectacle and I had tried my best to keep Lydia away from the vitriol that people were still saying about us when we were not the ones at fault. Nathan’s trial had been postponed probably so that the media attention could die down a bit. The trial was not going to be public anymore because there was a lot of people’s interest and it would be better for the victims that everything remained in the court.Lydia and I had discussed how to proceed in the quiet of the night and had come to the conclusion that she won’

(Lydia)The mansion was quiet, still, almost too empty for my comfort. I wandered from room to room, trying to settle into some kind of calm, but restlessness had wrapped itself around me, making it impossible to relax. Thomas was at the office, and Mabel and Miles were at preschool, their laughter and chaos temporarily absent. I glanced at the kitchen clock. Only a few hours until they would be home, but right now, time seemed to stretch on endlessly.Usually, in moments like these, I would check social media, browse through photos, or catch up on whatever the world was up to. But after everything that had happened with Nathan and the press, I’d cut myself off from that world. It was a relief in some ways, but in moments like this, the silence grew too loud. My thoughts drifted to Mama, who was at the hospital right now for her chemotherapy. The treatments had taken such a toll on her. Each time I saw her, she looked more tired, more fragile. She’d tried to assure me that she was fi
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 375 Sleeplessness
(Thomas)The dream was so vivid that it took a few seconds for reality to settle back in. My heart was pounding, my chest tight, and for a moment, I couldn’t breathe. I sat up, my eyes scanning the darkness, my hands gripping the sheets, half-expecting the nightmare to reach out and pull me under again. I could still feel the desperation from those last seconds of the dream, the way Lydia had disappeared into a crowd, her figure slipping further and further away no matter how fast I ran. I’d called her name, over and over, but she’d kept fading, like mist dissipating in the sun.I swung my legs over the side of the bed, rubbing my temples, trying to shake off the last tendrils of sleep. The house was quiet, bathed in a thin layer of moonlight that seeped in through the windows. I glanced over to Lydia’s side of the bed, instinctively reaching out. The emptiness hit me with a hollow pang.I immediately threw on a sweatshirt and made my way through the hallway, the familiar creaks unde

(Thomas)The last time I saw Jack, he was deflecting my questions about what had happened to leave him injured and refusing any professional help. Typical Jack, always shielding others from his chaos, carrying the weight of his decisions like a stubborn mule. I knocked firmly on his apartment door, which was closed this time, knowing he’d hear the sound even through the thick, industrial-style door. After a moment, the door creaked open. Jack stood there, shirtless, a fresh bandage wrapped around his side. He looked tired but not beaten. That was my brother, gritty, relentless, and unyielding even when life knocked him down.“Thomas,” he greeted with a nod, stepping aside to let me in, “Didn’t expect you to drop by.”“Clearly,” I replied, gesturing to his appearance, “You could’ve at least put on a shirt for the occasion.”He smirked faintly, closing the door behind me. Jack’s apartment was neat but lived-in, a mix of modern decor and personal touches that reflected Jack’s no-nonsen
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 473 With A Quiet Prayer for Courage
(Lydia)The morning passed quietly, but my mind was anything but still. Talking to Mama in the garden earlier had eased some of the heaviness pressing down on my chest, but it hadn’t erased it entirely. It felt like smoothing a wrinkle in fabric only to have another one pop up. There were so many reasons for my hesitance, and the biggest one gnawed at me: I hadn’t told Thomas. I could still see his face from last night, relaxed and content, the way his eyes crinkled when he smiled at me over dinner. It had been a perfect evening, something we hadn’t shared in a long time. I hadn’t wanted to taint it with this...complication. But now, the silence I’d kept about Clara weighed on me like a stone. I stirred my coffee absently at the kitchen counter, staring out at the bright day outside. Mabel and Miles were at preschool, their laughter and chatter missing from the house, leaving it quieter than usual. Thomas had kissed me on the forehead before leaving for work, his expression one of
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 472 Meeting’s Set
(Thomas)The faint hum of my office phone was drowned out by the stack of emails I had been working through since the moment I arrived at work. The buzz of productivity was always welcome, a way to focus my mind, especially after the whirlwind of emotions from last night. The date with Lydia had been everything I hoped it would be, a moment of calm amid the chaos. I found myself smiling as I clicked through a report, her laughter from last night still echoing in my mind. It had been a while since I’d seen her truly happy, her guard down, and it reminded me of why I fought so hard to protect what we had built together. My cell phone vibrated on the desk, breaking my thoughts. I glanced at the screen: Aiden. That name always brought a mix of feelings. Reassurance, because he was a solid ally, and apprehension, because his calls often came with heavy news. I picked up, leaning back in my chair, "Aiden, what’s the update?" His voice was steady but carried an edge, like a surgeon

(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
