Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 11
Chris' POVI had breakfast in the dining room, and so did Adeline. The woman sat beside me, eating her food noisily and occasionally glancing at my silence.I wanted to quickly finish my breakfast and return to my room, avoiding any interruptions the woman might have planned."Chris, do you want to be fed? It looks like you're having trouble cutting that steak." Adeline said, coming closer to me, who could easily cut the meat for one bite, unlike that woman's words.I ignored her, knowing she had already planned to bother me again. Usually, she would tease me in a petty way, but maybe she had a little thought to turn it into this.Still, I wanted to eat faster so I could get out of the dining room, but chewing the steak so that it was easier to swallow was a priority for me. I didn't want to digest food that wasn't appropriately consumed and then get sick. I finally tried to be patient.Adeline grabbed my hand that was still holding the dinner knife, pressing down on top of my hand ha

Chris's POV Someone knocked on my office door before walking in. He seemed to walk hurriedly before approaching my desk and bowing. I didn't look at him but strained my ears to listen to the man's report. "I'm sorry, sir. We were unable to reach an agreement with the Duncan family." Nathan said, catching the attention of me, who was working earlier. It's been a few days, and the deal we sent should have been approved soon, like our other business deals. Not only were they late, but they also gave a rejection that I did not expect at all. "Proposal?" I asked, confirming the integrity of my secretary's report that I disliked. "They've read the proposal and rejected it, sir." Nathan opened the tab and showed me the contents of the email, which was neatly written and structured. In one look, I could tell they were giving me an honest answer with an apparent reason. There was no gap in their rejection, which read subtle but firm. "We tried to convince the Duncan Family again by discu

Nicole's POV"Mommy!"I heard Richard's voice calling me and immediately hugged the boy tightly when he was in front of me.I loosened my hug and asked him. "Where have you been, Richard? I've been looking for you."I checked Richard's condition with my eyes. From head to toe to make sure my son was okay. How worried I was when he disappeared when I only averted my eyes for a moment.The boy held my face gently, looking at me with a stern look that was unlike the usual children. "Mom, don't worry. I was fine during the walk and returned to Mom's side."I looked at Richard's face, which didn't seem frightened but instead unremarkable after walking around alone. I did allow that boy to go wherever he wanted, but he left when Key wasn't with him.I closed my eyes for a moment before opening them again, controlling my feelings before saying something to my brave boy."Although you are able to act very mature, you are actually still a child, Richard. Please remember that for Mom's sake, ok

Nicole's POVInstead of the meeting we didn't get to attend, Richard and I were eating at a restaurant with a VIP room.The room was limited to customers who wanted a private area for their family or themselves, which was perfect for me, who didn't want to be known and felt much more comfortable compared to a public room."How was the upcoming stock meeting, Key?" I asked, looking at Key, sitting across from Richard while my son ate quietly.The man had just cut the meat and was about to feed it to his mouth, but stopped because of my question. He unlocked the cell phone on the table and moved the screen, looking at me as he said."We've prepared everything, Miss. This is the list of shareholders confirmed to be present at the meeting." He handed me the phone.I took it, skimming through each name on the screen, the company name, and the number of shares they held. There was one name that I didn't see even though I had searched all the way to the bottom.I frowned, handing Key's phone

Nicole's POVI had just slept with Richard in his room, keeping him company until the boy fell asleep. I stroked his hair, then smiled a little when I saw his hand resting near mine on the bed."Sleep well, my son." I rubbed his cheek gently, ensuring his breathing was regular before leaving.I walked out as I closed the door to Richard's room slowly, not wanting to disturb him. There, I saw Key, who was walking towards my son's room."Is Young Master already asleep, Miss?" Key whispered, which I immediately nodded back.I placed my index finger on my lips and gestured for us to walk the other way. Key obeyed, following my steps as lightly as possible to not wake Richard, walking towards the hallway with many paintings.The house was very spacious. There were many long hallways on every floor except for the attic, which was left empty with only a few unused items. I hadn't been there yet, but Richard, who had been going around the house from the beginning, told me.I chatted while dis

Nicole's POV A few days passed, and the long-awaited shareholder meeting finally arrived. Richard and I were ready in the car, dressed appropriately for the driver to take us. I stared out the window as the car started to move, seeing the beautiful scenery around our spacious house slowly replaced by a cityscape filled with towering buildings. "Mom, are you feeling scared or anxious today?" Richard asked, grabbing both hands folded on my thighs while looking at me intently. I could see that my son was worried about me not speaking earlier, not because of the two feelings he had just expressed, but rather a sense of impatience to attend. I shook my head with a smile, patting Richard's hand lightly to calm him down. "This is easy for you, Richard. It's okay. You know that I often watched you work." Edwin was my primary teacher throughout my life as part of the Duncan Family. He taught me a way of behaving I had never received from my previous family, especially being calm in any si

Nicole's POVI saw the shocked looks of everyone listening to my words. Some of them were also whispering to each other, talking about my identity, which was too amazing for them to accept right away.One of them cleared his throat very loudly, giving me a sharp look that did not believe me. "Madam, you'd better not say nonsense in front of us.""We are important people who have long known every member of the Duncan Family as well as their subordinates, but no one with your name is listed."I remained silent, knowing that the man's words were just another form of denial they were showing me.Seeing them still giving me a glare but also whispering to each other already told me that they did not recognize the Duncan Family name that I bore.Although I knew that Edwin hid our family information well, I also couldn't blame their ignorance for not recognizing who I was.The security system the old man used was so good that it couldn't be easily penetrated by anyone unauthorized."Even if y

Nicole's POV"Scared? I'm not scared at all, Miss Nicole." Mr Brown smiled casually to cover the nervousness that had been visible but then cleared his throat and returned to his serious demeanour.The man's gaze looked sharp and still condescending to me, belittling my obvious superiority over him. But he still tried to be defiant, relying on hia age, which was much older than me and close to Edwin."It is Miss Nicole who is being disgraceful by discussing something like this in an important meeting, especially to me, who holds the success of our business in such high regard. You are tarnishing my good name as one of the current shareholders."Two or three people whispered, seemingly shaken by Mr. Brown's seemingly confident words. As one of the oldest, I knew some shareholders considered him a role model.They didn't know the rot that the old man was hiding, as well as some of the other shareholders involved. As such, I did not hold back from showing the evidence our company gathere

Catherine's POVWe arrived at a nice hospital, but I felt uneasy. I didn't feel dizzy anymore and was able to walk well, but Edwin was still holding me as if he was afraid I would falter again like before we arrived at this place.I looked at the man walking next to me. "I don't need treatment, Duncan. I'm already fine.""You can't." He shook his head without looking at me. "The doctor should at least check on your sudden limp while walking. He can prescribe medicine for you later."I exhaled, feeling his hand around my shoulder getting tighter, as well as his other hand clasping mine. I felt like I was getting too much attention to the point of feeling uncomfortable, but I was still grateful that he seemed genuinely worried about me."Alright.... I'll do it." I finally said.He nodded.This was my first time in a public hospital so being here felt quite strange. There were a lot of people and most of the people waiting around us were some women who looked pregnant or with their part
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 401
Catherine's POVMy life became more enjoyable after opening up to my two friends again. We often hung out together, spending time like the days before and sometimes joined Benny's friends who were quite friendly.After the closeness between the two men, people assumed that Edwin and Benny were inseparable friends. They often walked together, joined the same activities and organizations and were both in the spotlight among other students.It was a natural thing. Not only were their attitudes and personalities polar opposites, but the two men both came from prominent families and owned businesses that they would continue as the only sons of their respective families.They also had brilliant achievements in their respective majors, as well as good looks that were loved by many female students around campus, be it seniors or juniors."I like Edwin Duncan, he's very cold and handsome...." A woman said with a soft sigh.Her friend had a different response. "I prefer Benny Thompson. He's fri
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 400
Catherine's POVI entered the lecture again but avoided Edwin and Benny, who were trying hard to get close to me. Both men seemed equally stubborn in saying hello and being nice to me, even though I was always cold to them.They invite me to lunch, but I walk past them, accompanying them to read or study in the library. Then I moved further away and only had one seat, and then I just walked alone to my class.I actually don't mind being alone for now. There were too many thoughts swirling in my head, and my father warned me not to do anything wrong if I still wanted to go to college. A few days ago, my words made me a rebellious child, not something that did me justice.I regretted it a little, but I also couldn't deny that I had managed to say most of the things I had wanted to say a long time ago. Even if they didn't care at all, the important thing was that I didn't just keep those words bottled up inside me."This is tiring," I complained in a low voice.Sarah sighed next to me. "
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 399
Catherine's POVAfter hearing my words, I could see my father's gaze become sharper. I felt a little scared, but then I emboldened myself by returning his gaze more boldly.He frowned, still looking at me with his sharp gaze. "What do you mean?""I don't want to get married, Father," I said the meaning of my words more clearly, trying not to tremble in front of him. "Do you think I live only to get married for the sake of this family? If it's not with the man of Father's choice, I'll still be passed on to another man who doesn't fully match my wishes. I don't want to."There are still many things I can do even without getting married. I wanted to determine my life, like the women who weren't bound by the Varma family's nonsensical rules.They could do whatever they wanted, have fun, study, or whatever they wanted for their own future, without worrying about finding a husband who would be helpful to their family.Even if I don't get married, it doesn't mean I can't continue my life wel
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 398
Catherine's POVI was surprised by my father's overly friendly reaction. He doesn't usually behave like this. I was uncomfortable and a little creeped out by his actions, but I couldn't make any comment.We stepped inside, passing by several servants who seemed to have been ordered by my father to welcome us.I saw my father walking first, then Edwin, who kept walking with me. The servants' stares seemed to follow us, but then I realized that they were only paying attention to the man who had just entered the Varma Family residence, the figure next to me.Apart from some of my father's colleagues, he was the only man who had ever entered this house. Benny hadn't even had that opportunity in all the time we'd been friends. My father was cautious in his dealings with businessmen and other conglomerate families. Perhaps that's why not just anyone could visit our house.And because of that, the man I called father was more guarded in Edwin's presence to maintain a good chance for our fami
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 397
Edwin's POVI kissed Catherine more than the touch of lips she gave me. I did it slowly, not entirely sure, but following what felt right with her lips on mine.I just knew that something like this made everything around me slow down. I loved the feel of her soft lips, the slightly sweet taste of the wine left in her mouth and the moisture that mingled on each of our lips.Catherine pulled away from our kiss first, slightly out of breath but smiling at me. I paused, staring at the woman who was so innocent but also made me feel things I had never felt before.I had never known anything like this and went back to kissing her a few more times until my own lips felt like they were going to swell and felt hot with the inside of the car tightly closed, even with the coolant on.After that, we went beyond the point of no return."What is this?" The woman was heard shouting.My consciousness returned, and then my head felt like it was ringing. Her voice sounded really loud. It took me some t
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 396
Edwin's POVI know why Catherine is acting like this. She was proposed to by Benny, her best friend who seemed to have more feelings for her, but she herself didn't want that to happen.She had told me the things she wanted, some of the things in between the annoyance and sadness she felt. Above all, for Catherine, Benny was her treasured friend, not as a future husband nor one who could free her from the Varma family.I agreed to that after feeling a little uncomfortable with the way she had been talking about a man who had not been with us for some time.No sooner had I approached her who stood up from her seat in the restaurant and was in an unsteady state, than she fell into my arms. I could feel how soft and fragrant her body was close to mine.The sound of her breathing could be clearly heard over my shoulder where she was leaning. She was almost unconscious, so I sighed softly and whispered to her. "You seem to be looking for trouble with me, Varma."I repositioned her between

Catherine's Point of View"So, how was it?" He asked, looking at me.I wiped my face with my handkerchief, unable to look directly at the man again after a long stare, but still shook my head with certainty. "No way, my opinion hasn't changed from what I said before. I don't think it makes any sense.""Alright." The man nodded. "Come on, I'll treat you to dinner."I returned Edwin's nod, accepting the man's ride to a private restaurant that catered to a wide variety of conglomerate families from this city and abroad. This was the first time I had visited this famous place; previously, I had only heard about it from my father and Daniel.In addition to being a place to formally entertain guests, some also make official cooperation agreements between foreign companies, including my family, which is also the reason my younger brother was able to go to this place first with my father.I sat opposite Edwin, enjoying the view of the city through the restaurant's glass, which was almost as t
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 394
Catherine's POVI looked at the man over my glasses, feeling mixed emotions inside me as I poured out all sorts of things I had wanted to say to him since last night but could only say today."Did you know that your family sent a marriage proposal to my family?" I began. "It wasn't that long ago that we entered college, Ben, but how could the proposal come at such an unexpected time and from your family."My gaze was fixed on his eyes, which were also looking at me. "Did you ask for the proposal to be sent to my family so that we can get married?"He didn't say a word in reply; he just squeezed his hands on each side of his body and turned his gaze away from me. I clamped my mouth shut for a moment."I'm furious." I took a deep breath, trying to control myself from overwhelming feelings."You already know I don't like this at all, Ben. Getting married. It's a new prison for me and indirectly proves to my father that I'll never escape the Varma family's female nature."I still remember
