Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 101
Chris' POVI heard the sound of Adeline's small laughter, which immediately brought me to my senses after thinking about her words. She looked happy to see me affected by her words, but I didn't let her be for too long.I still held her hand tightly, looking at her sharply. "You and I are different, Adeline. You are a demon. How could you kill the woman you've lived with for so long so easily.""Huh, are you replying to me now?" She looked at me in surprise. "You think you're a saint, Chris? We're all the same for ruining someone's life. Why do you think Nicole ended up dead like that? It's because of you too!"Adeline came closer, staring at me fearlessly despite the grimace of her hand that I had re-tightened. She smiled with raised eyebrows. "You have to let me out of here, Chris. The sooner, the better. You don't want me to remind you of what you did to Nicole, do you?"I was getting angry at this shameless woman in front of me. How could I be married to a woman who was the devil
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 102
Nicole's POVThe news about Adeline committing a crime a few years ago spread. Many media outlets aired and publicised it on various websites, but I didn't read any news about it.Instead of checking the news as usual, I was now pouring one of my finest collections of drinks into a glass, watching how the almost dark brown liquid filled my glass halfway before I gulped it down in one searing gulp.The strong scent of alcohol pierced my nose, as did the taste sensation that was much stronger than my usual drink, but one that I desperately needed at this moment. I don't know what happened to me, and I didn't feel anything after my plan finally went through."Is something wrong with me?" I muttered to myself, not understanding the strange feeling I was having.There was no joy, satisfaction or euphoria when I heard about it. Rather, it was empty and made me feel gloomy and unpleasant. I went to my private bar after finishing my work, alone and without any music to accompany me to drink.
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 103
Nicole's POVI woke up with my head aching. I changed my position to sitting, leaning against the headboard for a few moments while holding my head, starting to regret my decision to drink without making a limit."Ah, that sucks." I groaned, still feeling an intense dizziness, before being able to consume the hangover reliever provided on the table near my bed.I quickly got ready and made my way to the dining room, which was already crowded with Father, my son, and a few waiters standing guard to serve us if needed. When I turned to my son again, Richard had already started eating his food so I involuntarily smiled.I approached the table, looking at my father, who was also looking at me. "How did you do last night, Nicole? Did you have enough fun?" He asked me.I paused, looking at Richard, still eating voraciously, before trying to hide my embarrassing expression.I smiled politely. "Yes. I feel quite happy, Father."Edwin accepting my answer without question. I sat across from R
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 104
Nicole's POVI showed the puzzle piece to Richard, asking my son. "Do you know where this is for, Richard?""Let me see, Mom." He lifted his gaze to the puzzle I held before pointing towards the spot I had found moments ago, much later than Richard. "Right there, Mom. The piece you're holding is ambiguous, but look at the color combination for reference."I secretly smiled, glad to see him explaining to help me keep solving the puzzle with him instead of just telling me where it was. "Yeah, Mom seems to be getting a headache since we've been working on this for over an hour.""You can just ask me again if you're having trouble." He smiled before getting serious about the remaining pieces of the puzzle.I managed to attach more than a dozen pieces, completing the hundreds of pieces already attached by Richard, who looked happy that we had almost finished his puzzle.He picked up the last puzzle piece and showed it to me. "This is the last piece, ma'am." His eyes shone brightly, and he
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 105
Nicole's POVI watched as Chris just stood there. He then knelt, held my headstone with one hand and spoke. "Nicole, I am so sorry for what I did to you back then…."I frowned, not understanding how such words could come from his mouth after all these years. Regret, he said, what was that man thinking?I looked at him sharply, annoyed by his words that made no sense. Chris was continuing with his words. This time, instead of looking sombre, the man looked annoyed to the point of clenching his fists. I could gnash his teeth even though we were pretty far away."If only I didn't believe that video of you kissing Jayden...." He tightened his grip even more until he looked red and closed his eyes momentarily. "I just found out that Adeline was the one who sent the video.""I talked to that woman a few days ago. She was finally arrested, along with her mother, and she told me that she sent the video so that our marriage would never happen."Chris seemed to open his eyes, revealing the tear
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 106
Nicole's POVI returned home feeling empty. I still hadn't come to terms with what Chris had said at my grave, the fact that I'd just found out, and the other things that left me not knowing what to do.".... Cole."That guy said all those things long ago when no one was around, but I don't understand why he could say all those things so easily when we've met several times before."Nicole...."He just tried to get close to me for no apparent reason and even defended Adeline in front of my eyes several times instead of apologising for the things she said. I was so angry, jealous, confused and hurt, not knowing what to do to stop feeling all this."Nicole." I heard my name being called, as well as someone's touch on my shoulder. "What have you been thinking about since before?"I turned and looked at Edwin, who was frowning at me. He was the one who had called out and touched my shoulder. "Dad, what's wrong?""I've been calling you since earlier, but you didn't answer at all...." He bli
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 107
Nicole's POVI woke up with my head aching and my eyes feeling heavy to open. Vaguely, I could hear Richard's voice, which seemed to be waking me up. My hand also felt moved, which made me drift out of my sleep."Mom, Mom." He called me several times while moving my hand. "Come on, wake up, Mom."I opened my eyes slowly, looking at Richard's face, which was so close to me before I shifted my head slightly. I grimaced. "What's wrong, Richard?"My son's face looked sad, so I wrinkled my forehead.He said, obviously noticing my state from earlier. "Mom, it is very difficult to wake up. When I hold your hand, it also feels too warm. It's not like the usual mother.""Grandpa said you were already asleep before I came back from the lab, so you've been staying in your room for a long time."I paused, raised my hand with some difficulty because I felt weak, and touched my forehead, which was warmer than usual. My son was right. I closed my eyes for a moment while sighing, then opened my eyes
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 108
Nicole's POV"Am I still not getting better?" I muttered, complaining to myself as I felt my headache again.I had almost finished the medicine the doctor had prescribed and was resting more than usual. Only four more tablets until I was supposed to recover, but not much seemed to have changed other than my body was neither feverish nor weak like before.I had also been going to the office less and less and forced to work remotely, something I didn't like but had to do to improve my condition. In the end, some of my assistants, including Key, were the ones who traveled more to take care of projects that fell under my responsibility.I felt bad, but Edwin and Richard monitored me so that I couldn't go anywhere that they thought would make me sick again.I stayed like that for a few days and finally took a breath to work outside the house and buy some things that Richard had left for me. My two protective family members let me go after seeing my condition and hearing my words.I sighed

Nicole's POVChris was silent. I could see that he seemed to be processing my words, but I wasn't done talking. There was still something I wanted to tell him."Until now, I've been confused by the feelings I have for you, Mr. Grant."I clasped my hands together tightly. "If I were to accept your proposal without thinking, it would not only make me look like I'm playing you, but also betray my own uncertain feelings."As I said, I felt very mixed after hearing and seeing his attitude during his proposal.There were feelings of joy, sadness, hatred, and hope, all in equal measure, that confused me.On the one hand, I liked this proposal in the deepest part, which I buried deeply. Still, I also couldn't let go of the thing that had kept me alive all these years after his betrayal by leaving me and the evil deeds of my old family.I didn't want revenge, but the residual feelings were still there, as were my feelings for the man in front of me.Both had the same deep impression on me duri
Ex-Lover's Regret CHAPTER 346
Nicole's POVAs I walked in, I could see the restaurant's decor, which looked like a very romantic place. Like I saw outside, no one was inside except me and my assistant.We walked in together, he walking behind me, but I was busy with my thoughts. My brain seemed to be spinning rapidly, and I was thinking about this strange thing as best I could.My father had deliberately directed me to this restaurant for dinner. Still, that man was nowhere to be seen, nor was Richard and whoever was supposed to be in this restaurant to serve us. The deserted atmosphere added to the aggravation of my thoughts and the additional fear of the unusual situation.I swallowed, wondering, even as I followed the lit candles still guiding our path. Why is the restaurant in this state? Shouldn't we have gathered and enjoyed dinner by now?I already felt that my father, my son, and everything that happened today were acting strangely. I have absolutely no idea what's going on. It really felt like I was walki
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 345
Nicole's POVI looked at my father, who had been watching me since earlier. I ignored it at first, but after a while, I got curious and finally asked him. "Is there something you want to talk to me about, Father?"He shook his head, smiling slightly with eyes that seemed to sparkle. "No, no. I'm just happy to see that you've been in good spirits lately."I smiled back at him, although I also thought that my father's attitude was quite strange. I didn't feel as excited as he said, just as usual. The things my father said were even more applicable to him, who somehow looked radiant.Of course, I felt happy about whatever my father went through because I knew he could behave like that now. After the betrayal of his old friend, I felt that my father became much more reserved and only focused on his work, but now he's become better than that.I finally changed the subject. "Is Richard with that man, Father?"He nodded.Lately, my son has been spending a lot of time with Chris. It was usual
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 344
Nicole's POVI was already in my study, realizing that the thing that happened a moment ago was really happening.The things I felt and the attitude I showed the man... I touched my chest, feeling the pounding of my heart that always became unusual whenever I couldn't control myself, especially when it came to that man. Chris.I didn't know what was wrong with me anymore, feeling messed up and not knowing what to do to fix what had happened."No," I said, with a complementary slap to snap myself out of my current situation. "I need to focus."It wasn't time for me to dwell on whatever feelings were surrounding me and dwell on them. Work was waiting for me, and I couldn't put it off any longer for any reason.I slapped my cheeks repeatedly. Only then could I take my work seriously.I spent most of my days staying out of that man's reach. Sometimes, Chris was at my house for some business, but I still avoided him and didn't show myself to him as much as I could. When I came home, I aske
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 343
Chris' POV"Chris!"A shouting voice rang in my ears. I turned my head and saw a woman running towards me. She immediately hugged me tightly. Smelling the fragrance of her body so close to me and catching a glimpse of her face, I felt certain that the woman in this embrace was Nicole.I looked in the direction the woman had previously run and found several people scattered around the streets, shouting and moving away from each other. This was paving the way for a tree snake that seemed to have escaped from one of the shops in this row of streets.Not far from the snake, two staff members who seemed to be from the shop could be seen chasing the escaping animal with nets and ropes. They looked tense, following the slithering animal's movements on the hot street.The atmosphere was definitely noisy, but I could only feel the fear of the woman who was in my arms and was giving me a tight hug without any warning as if I was her life preserver and didn't want to be let go by her anytime soo
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 342
Chris' POVI felt that my relationship with Nicole was fine, even better than a few weeks ago, even though she sometimes tried to ignore my presence around her.She was becoming more talkative with me about some mundane things that I didn't know would happen so soon. She didn't kick me out anymore, even if I went over her limit, which would usually make her upset and follow her emotions.I still remember when she acted shy when receiving my cheek kiss and her anger at the charity event when I kissed her on the lips. My reactions to those two things were quite different. One was closer to negative because I was in a hurry, while the other was closer to positive, even though they were close in time.Perhaps my thoughts on our current situation were correct.She probably doesn't hate me as much as she used to, and I can also do things that I could never do even if I wanted to. For now, I won't do anything more than the usual touching of a young couple, but even that already makes me happ
Ex-Lover's Regret CHAPTER 341
Chris' POVI returned Nicole's widened gaze, feeling a little pleased and proud of myself. "I know, you must be admiring me, right, Nicole?""Are you showing yourself off?" She snorted, changing her previously unseen gaze to what it was now, slightly sharp. "Why would I admire you sitting down?"I noticed the woman who looked a little sullen. I still don't know the reason, but she seemed to be annoyed that I accidentally made her emotional with my out-of-context words.Anyway, I was happy with her attention and unconsciously said whatever came to my mind.I cleared my throat softly, returning the conversation. "If you try, you can do it too, Nicole. Cooperation with Mr. Divo." The woman was still looking sulky. "You might be able to get this deal done first.""I can't." The woman's father suddenly spoke up, looking serious. "If Nicole does that, it will be dangerous for her."The woman seemed to turn her attention to her father, frowning as she asked. "What makes it dangerous for me,
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 340
Nicole's POVI knew what he meant when he dropped me off after our accidental lunch. My gaze was drawn to the scene in front of me, inside my house, which should have consisted of my father, Richard, Key, and the servants, but this time it was different.The man and my two and only family were in the living room. My son looked relaxed while my father chatted smoothly with the man. The three seemed familiar, even to the point of not noticing my presence, and had already been welcomed by the servants in our house.Perhaps I stared too long. My father turned to me, as did the other two. They had quite similar happy expressions, which made me frown."Nicole, you just arrived?" My father asked by way of greeting. "I thought you'd be home a little later because of the work you've been piling up. Key told me."I ignored my father's words, paying more attention to the calm-looking man mingling among them. He noticed my gaze and smiled politely, but I could feel slightly annoyed by his natural
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 339
Nicole's POVI paused to look at the man's face, especially his smile, which made me feel like I was about to lose focus. I didn't let that go on for too long and pushed the bouquet of flowers at him, waking him up to something.His eyes widened slightly. He put a little distance between us, letting me stand evenly, though his hands were still on my waist, and said casually. "Oh yes, I wanted to give you this bouquet of flowers."I gazed at the bouquet of flowers she handed to me. The arrangement was pretty, consisting of only three flowers, but the colors of the flowers were well integrated and complemented each other. The skill of the bouquet arranger could be recognized. I could also smell the fragrance of the bouquet he gave me.At this point, my focus completely disappeared, especially as I tried to deal with the predicament right in front of me.It's been too long since I've experienced this, and it felt so different when I was with Matthew. After all, this man in front of me di
