After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 92 Like That
(Ruby)Ever since the accident, the gossip columns and tabloids kept digging up stories about Lydia and Thomas.What was more, they had somehow learned about me as well. So, it was not just her that was under fire.Gallery to the Gossip Pages: Billionaire’s Ex and Her Sister, they read.Art Attack. Canvas Chaos.And the worst one so far … Billionaire Brats. That one was about the twins.I could not let Lydia find out about any of this. Nor, for that matter, could I confide in Thomas.The two of them had just begun a lovely reconciliation period after a trying time. Somehow, the press had gotten a hold of pictures of the twins. For Lydia to discover this would have been very distressful.I was actually concerned that her finding out would not only take a toll on her mental health but also wedge a rift between Thomas and her. So, I had been doing everything in my power to keep this news away from her.But, I had known that she would eventually find out. So, in my desperation, I had turn

(Thomas)I was driving over to the car mechanic. I had given him Lydia’s car a couple of weeks ago and he had called me today and told me that it was ready.“What’s wrong with it?” I had asked him when I handed it in, “The fuel tank light went on barely thirty minutes into the drive. It made no sense at all. We had gas.”The mechanic, Gustav, an old friend of mine, had leaned in and said, “Have you made any enemies recently, Mr. Lombardi?”I had scratched my head. “No?” I had said, “I don’t think so. Why?”“Well, someone damaged the gasoline pipe. It was clearly struck down on with great force, and not at an angle where it could have happened by accident.”I had gone pale. “Are you sure?” I had asked.“I’m positive, Mr. Lombardi,” he had said, “With my twenty years working with cars, I know when damage is intentional.”“Well, fix it up,” I had said. Gustav had nodded and gotten to work.***Now, as I thought about it, I had a horrible gut feeling that it was Sarah who had been behind
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 94 I am Done with You
(Adeline)I walked down the dimly lit corridor, my heels clicking the stone floor. On both sides were black bars and prisoners in gray suits snored behind them. It was still very early on in the day; the sun had barely begun to climb.“Your recovery is going great,” the doctors had said, “your chemo appears to be very effective.”I had smiled and laughed. “It appears as though I’ve got a second shot at life.”I did not want to waste it.“You’re worthless!” he had said, hurling a fist at my eye. I had wept and sobbed, covering my bruising eye with both hands.“You’re a disgrace upon this earth!”“Why did you marry me then?” I had squealed, tears streaming down my cheeks and sobs escaping unbidden.He had narrowed his eyes and dropped his voice to a whisper. “Don’t talk back to me.”I shuddered at the memory. Lydia had always asked me why I had not run but I had a very simple answer. When I had been a little girl, my father used to beat my mother. When I had started growing up, he had
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 95 Not Yet
(Lydia)I placed my fingers on his lips, feeling his warm breath running through my hand.“Not yet,” I said to Thomas.“Why not?” he asked, wrapping his arms around me and tugging me closer.Every single atom in my body wanted to give in. I shut my eyes, embraced the feeling, and then looked up at him.“Because we still haven’t completed our new first date,” I said. There was a twinkle in my eye. I was giddy with happiness. And I had already forgiven him. After all, losing his memory had not been his fault. But that did not mean that I was going to make the journey back to me as simple as crossing the street.He needed to work hard for it and make up for everything that I had been through.“When do you want to do it?” Thomas said, “The first date?”I smiled and then looked back down at my cup of ice-cream. I scooped up a spoonful and put it in my mouth,I let the moment stretch out between us.“When I get well enough to resume work,” I said, “we can go out.”“And when is that?” Thomas

(Ruby)I blushed again. My heart was pounding. Lydia looked softly at me.We had barely touched our dinner. Throughout the night, I kept staring at Jack. His eyes were burning, too.“Let’s get out of here,” he had said. I had taken his hand and we had scrambled to his car, laughing.Once home, I had tip-toed my way to his bedroom, pressing my hand against my mouth to suppress the giggles. He pulled the other one.As soon as Jack shut the door behind me, he had pushed me against it. I had wrapped my arms around his back, feeling his strength. And then we had started making out.I had started unbuttoning his jacket and he had flung it away, leaving me to put my hand up under his shirt, tracing his firm abs with my fingers. Jack had started kissing my neck. He had hoisted me up in his arms and carried me over to his bed.Smiling and blushing, we had removed each other’s clothes with the same delight that children unwrap candy bars.Flinging my heels away, Jack had put a pillow under my h
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 97 Back to Work
(Lydia)It felt good to finally return to the theater. Everyone was so happy that I was back.“I’ve been practicing on my own while you were gone,” said Steve. He was very excited about Pride and Prejudice.I took a sip of my coffee and sat down with him in the lobby, discussing the script as well as some annotations that I had made. Steve had the kind of raw talent and inherent understanding of acting and theater that allowed me to talk to him about these things.It felt nice to be able to converse with a mentee about innovations that we could make in our characters in order to make them both blend in perfectly with the traditional character of the play while appearing fresh and modern.In a few minutes, Steve was joined by a young girl and a young boy.“Hello,” they said politely to me and sat down.“Hey,” I smiled back.“Lydia, these are Mary and George,” Steve said, “They’re new.”“Ah, that’s wonderful!” I exclaimed, pleased to see that I would be working with new people upon my r
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 98 To be Happy Again
(Lydia)“I’m Greg, miss,” said Greg, straightening up.“Oh,” I replied, “I’ve been told you’re clumsy.”I smiled. But, a pit formed in my stomach. Somewhere deep down, I could tell that something was not quite right.Was this the same man that I had seen that night outside the mansion? Or was that whole thing just a figment of my imagination?“Can I help you with anything, miss?” Greg asked hesitantly. He was visibly nervous. His small frame was shaking a little.“No, no,” I replied, shaking my head, “I just came here to check in on the noise, that’s all.”I turned around and walked all the way up to the lobby.***Thomas came to the theater.“Lydia!” he exclaimed, approaching me, “I’m sorry. Please don’t be angry with me.”I crossed my arms over my chest. I narrowed my eyes at him. “I don’t want to talk to you,” I sneered and turned to walk away.He grabbed my hand. “Listen to me, Lyddie,” he said. I turned my head and glared at him.“I didn’t mean it that way,” he pleaded, “I just w
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 99 Passion Project
(Jack)I was overjoyed these days. Ruby was beautiful, smart, sweet, gentle, and kind. And things just worked naturally between us.I wanted to pop the question but I was a little apprehensive of what Mama would say. And, besides, I had wasted so many years partying and flirting around the world on my adventures that, perhaps, now it was time to double down on my work.I had originally not wanted to be a businessman. That had always been Thomas’s dream.I had, instead, been interested in driving race cars.But my life was just naturally moving towards passion and my heart’s desires now.And, last night, when Ruby had been lying in my arms, I had talked to her about it.“What’s on your mind?” she had murmured, looking up at me.“It’s just…” I had said to her, “I see how passionate you are about your art and your work and you design such beautiful clothes. I’ve always been good at my work but it has never really felt as deeply satisfying as it should.”“And what feels satisfying to you?

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
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 459 Feels Off
(Lydia)I spent the car ride back home in relative silence, my thoughts consumed by everything that had happened in the past few months. The whirlwind of Nathan’s threats, Jack’s complicated relationship with Ruby, and Mama’s illness. It felt like I was constantly running a marathon with no finish line in sight.Now, as I crossed the threshold into the house, a surge of relief washed over me. At least for a few hours, I could breathe.My speech in the Assembly Hall had been well-received and I was grateful for that. What I had done was a long time coming because I had been worried about Mabel and Miles’ school for quite some time. Ever since they came home one day and told me what the kids were talking about, I had a thought in the back of my mind that this was going to be a problem moving forwards. And it was.Well, I hope all of that was settled now. As I walked into the living room, I saw Mama sitting in a recliner, bundled in a blanket despite the warmth of the room.“Back alread
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 458 Have My Back
(Ruby)I left the boutique in the afternoon to go to my apartment. I had some chores to do and I knew the apartment was probably a mess. When I reached there, I immediately started to do laundry. It took time, but I got it done just in time.As I folded the last of the laundry, I couldn’t help but think about what to eat since I’d planned to grab a quick bite before heading to the mansion to look after Mama. One of my workers was closing the boutique for me today, a rare reprieve I desperately needed. I had just gathered my things when a knock at the door startled me. I paused, glancing at the clock. I wasn’t expecting anyone. Peering through the peephole, I saw nothing but the empty corridor. My first thought was that it might be another bouquet. Curiosity got the better of me, and I opened the door. What I saw made me gasp so loudly I nearly dropped my bag. “Jack!” He was on his knees, his face pale and sweaty, twisted in pain. Blood stained his shirt and pants, and his han
After Forgetting Me, My CEO Ex-husband Regrets Chapter 457 Attacked
(Jack)The tension had been building inside me all morning, a storm of frustration and unanswered questions I couldn’t shake. Thomas’s decision to meet with Nathan still gnawed at me. It wasn’t just the secrecy of it, though that alone was bad enough, it was the recklessness. The risk. But as much as that boiled my blood, there was another matter weighing heavily on my mind, and this one had a name: Marco.By midday, I’d had enough. I wasn’t going to get anything productive done sitting in my office, stewing over things I couldn’t control. I grabbed my jacket, told my assistant I’d be out for the rest of the day, and headed for Amanda’s apartment. If anyone could give me answers about Marco, it was her. When I reached her apartment, Amanda opened the door, her eyes widening slightly in surprise as she asked, “Jack? What are you doing here?” “We need to talk,” I said, stepping inside before she could protest. She frowned but didn’t argue, closing the door behind me. Her apartme
