Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 119
Chris' POVI was still in the car, staring at my hands and pressing my fingers together with a frantic mind. There were several things I was thinking about after Evan told me the shocking rumour.Feelings of disbelief, confusion and trying to process the information in my head were mixed. In the end, I quickly chose the quickest and surest way out that I could do. Go to that person's house, who knew Nicole the best even though I didn't want to admit it.The car I was driving stopped at the same-looking housing complex. "Here you are, sir." The driver spoke.I looked out the window, noticing the small-sized house that was identical to the other houses that lined up around it. What differentiated the houses from each other were the numbers and the door decorations above the small windows.The house I saw now was obviously very different from the Martinez Family's previous residence. It couldn't be compared by too much class. I realised that the effects of their bankruptcy could have bro

Chris' POVI looked at Smith, who looked back at me, seeing his eyes that clearly showed the alcohol that had entered his body and affected his attitude. His life was ruined, but he was still looking for any way he could get a little money to buy his drinks.I didn't really care about her reasoning. My desire to get information about Nicole made me have to give in to him. I finally nodded, agreeing to his request even though I still had some reservations."Alright, I'll give you a few hundred dollars at your convenience if you tell me about her."He drank the remaining alcohol in his bottle before sighing and laughing. Smith was obviously laughing at me for so easily giving away money with so little information, but I didn't care. I was sure that he was just as in need of the money so he could quickly buy a drink and wouldn't waste my time any longer.The old man looked like a madman with his unkempt appearance and the bottle in his hand, but I still waited quietly for him to tell me

Chris' POVI was still completely shocked by what Smith had told me. Not only that man but even the mother Nicole had told me about wasn't her real mother. I furrowed my brow, feeling my own voice sound doubtful."So, Nicole is neither your daughter nor your late wife?" I asked again, confirming the old man's answer this time.Smith laughed. "No, she's not. She's a child we found by accident. What's the term? A foster child? Adopted? Well, whatever it is, we took her in when she had no one else."I was silent, listening to Smith tell me how it all happened. There was no sadness on his face, as he was still drunk, but he also didn't look as crazy as before and just told it like it was. He took a small sip of his drink."My wife miscarried. She was declared unable to conceive again with fatal damage to her uterus, so at the time, it was a heavy blow for her, as well as for me. But what happened to my wife became worse as her condition deteriorated over the days. She was not in good spir

Nicole's POV"Richard, this is breakfast for you," I said, handing my son a plate of homemade food.Richard looked happy, his sparkling eyes looking at me with a beaming face. "This is mom's cooking? It smells so good; it must taste really good because only mom can make it.""You already know. You have to finish it. otherwise, Mom will be sad." I smiled, stroking his hair lightly as I followed my son to the dining table. "I heard you were too busy in the lab to eat on time. Aren't you feeling hungry?"Key told me, as did the servant who often accompanied my son when getting ready for his daily activities. I heard them saying that he only ate when I was around but prioritized his projects in the lab when I wasn't supervising his activities that day.I didn't want to let things like that go on any longer and decided to intervene. After all, they were only tasked with replacing me as their respective responsibilities, but I was the mother of my son, who was my primary responsibility.Ric

Nicole's POVI was already holding the coffee the man gave me after he finished paying, but I could not refuse because he simply didn't give me a chance to talk anymore. We walked away from the cashier and towards the outside of the store."Thank you for the coffee, sir. Though we've never known before." I said, starting the conversation when I saw him already storing his wallet in the pocket of the suit he was wearing.The man shook his head. "It's nothing. I just bought you a coffee that's not even ten dollars." He smiled slightly as he looked at me. "After all, any man wouldn't mind doing the same for a beautiful woman like you, Miss."I didn't show any expression, feeling uncomfortable with his last words, aside from that, he had done me a favor. Perhaps it was enough to be thanked, but I felt compelled to return the favor."I'll replace this coffee, sir. I feel bad if it's left unattended." I said, looking at him, who quickly raised his hand, to my surprise.He shook his head as

Nicole's POVI was already in front of my study and about to enter it, but when I opened the door, I could see an old man sitting in my chair and tapping his fingers on the desk, then looking at me as I walked in."Father?" I called out to him, surprised to see him in my room.Edwin immediately got up from his seat and walked over to me. "Where have you been? You only came in this afternoon, not like usual." He looked at the coffee cup I was holding, then looked at me again. "You bought coffee? you usually leave it for the staff on duty to buy or make.""I needed a new atmosphere, Father. So I decided to buy my coffee." I said as I exhaled.It would be nice to ask others for help when I had a lot of work to do, but when I was more accessible, I would probably prefer to buy or make it myself while I could. I also hadn't purchased this coffee in a long time, so I came alone.Edwin nodded, seemingly accepting my words. "So you went for a walk before going to the office?""Yes, just to th

Nicole's POV"I told you, Ms. Nicole. We will meet again." Matthew said to me as we were walking together, smiling.I also returned the man's contagious smile, acknowledging that our meeting after that day really took less time than he said. I didn't expect it at all, but I liked how our meeting today seemed to me.After that day, a few days later, to be precise, I had to accompany my father on business.He didn't say anything other than that it was a matter of working together between the companies. Then I found out that he was taking me to a meeting place with Matthew Thompson and his father, who is the current head of their company.We had finished the meeting a moment ago and were now walking together out of the discussion room. Our two fathers had already walked ahead of us, so they were a few steps ahead of us. I looked at those who seemed familiar with each other, who knew what they were talking about.I gave him a glance. "I didn't expect that our next meeting would immediatel

Nicole's POV"Dad, did you tell Matthew my phone number?" I asked Edwin when we were already in the car.The old man looked at me with some surprise. "Oh, did you call Mr. Thompson's son by his name?"I didn't answer my father's question, which sounded like I was diverting my question to something else, but just looked at him straight. He sighed softly with a faint smile."Yes, I gave that young man your phone number, Nicole," my father confessed, adding another statement that made it look like he was adding a good reason for his unexpected actions. "You know that my father has been in business for quite some time, so there was an occasion when Benny and I met at an event."I heard my father's brief explanation of his twenty-year business relationship with Matthew's father. This wasn't the first time they'd agreed to work together, but they'd been doing it for so many years that they were like old friends.Although there were a few years where they didn't work together for a long time

Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 393
Catherine's POVWhen I woke up, my head hurt, as well as my eyes, which were quite difficult to open even though I was awake. I seemed to have cried too much and fallen asleep immediately afterwards to have this effect.I felt thirsty and looked for a drink on the small table not far from the bed and grabbed it. I drank the contents of the glass in four big gulps and put it back on the table. My gaze automatically went to the large mirror on the other side of the bed.There, the reflection of my face looked messy. I really looked like someone who had just woken up after crying for hours. My eyes were puffy with traces of tears that I could feel with my fingers, my nose was slightly reddened, and the area around my eyes was slightly reddened.I stared at my appearance with mixed feelings. It's really embarrassing even though I'm the only one who sees this right now, and maybe one of the waiters who refilled my water, but it doesn't really matter because I have to leave for college in a

Catherine's POVI was feeling tired.It's been one week since the end-of-semester exams, and I have to repeat the lessons of the whole semester on my own. I also have to read copies of the assignments I've done and notes from the lecturer on topics that might come up in the exam this time.I was so busy that I didn't have time to do anything other than study and get enough rest when night fell, that is, if I didn't have any assignments to complete for the practical exam.Arriving home, I already felt a piercing headache that made me want to lie down and sleep for a while. I still had to study for the theoretical exam and submit other practical assignments to the lecturer from other courses.I had envisioned a soft mattress on my bed, as well as blankets and pillows that would feel very soft on my body after I had exhausted my thoughts and abilities for today's exam, but it didn't work out.Someone knocked on my bedroom door and opened the door after I let myself in. It was one of the

Edwin's POGIn my father's study, I was reading a book he recommended. He was also reading for a while, but then he put the book on the desk and looked at me."What do you think about our new project?" he asked, slightly serious but also relaxed.I moved the book out of sight to look at him. "The things they're doing are right. I can't find any flaws."He nodded. The report he had shown me this morning followed the book he had put down. It was about the business collaboration between the Duncan Family and the Thompson Family, with Benny and I as the chief executives, while our father was the funder and in charge.Although the two of us had not completely taken over the family business, our fathers had agreed to involve their family successors in this newly started business. Aside from the family interest, both of them said it was important for our future.I had no problem with that. After all, my father had taught me everything about our family business since I was a child and other i

Catherine's POVAfter receiving the gift from Edwin, I was now only with Benny and his personal driver driving. The man sat down with me and then noticed something was different about my attitude.He rested his chin on one of my hands, which was still clasped tightly. "What are you holding on to? You didn't let go at all....""This." I showed him the bracelet.His eyes look wide. "Isn't that the jewelry you saw earlier? I thought you didn't buy it.""I didn't buy it."Considering Benny was also aware of what I was doing while looking at the jewelry, perhaps my liking for this bracelet was too obvious.My gaze was fixed on the bracelet, and I thought about how the man who had left the festival first had unhesitatingly bought me this jewelry and given it to me without anyone knowing. I don't know what that man was thinking when he bought me this, but the pounding of my heart was starting to feel too clear in my chest.The car stopped. I blinked, realizing that I had arrived in front of

Catherine's POV"Thank you for buying me a drink, Duncan." I smiled, accepting the glass with a lid made of solid cardboard from his hand, and I immediately held the glass with both hands.He just nodded and passed the other glass to Benny.I took a sip of the relatively warm drink. It turned out to be a delicious chocolate drink. I felt relieved and happy. My legs even wiggled without me fully realizing it.Night had almost fallen, so it was starting to get cold. I remembered the embarrassing incident a few days ago when my skirt got caught, but in the end, the man came back to help me by giving me a warm drink after we had walked quite a distance.A loud snort was heard from Benny. "Why are you buying me a fruity and cold drink? I also want a warm chocolate drink like you guys." He protested.I looked at the two men who stood facing each other with glasses in their hands. Still, a noticeable smoke could be seen from Benny's slightly open mouth, probably the effect of the drink he ha
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 388
Catherine's POVI was mesmerized by the festival atmosphere surrounding me. I've always liked things like this: simple and fun stuff without having to always care about manners or conversations that are always serious and filled with business or politics.Many booths were arranged according to their types, ranging from games, shops selling various things, and other equally entertaining booths. My gaze stopped at one of the nearby stands for jewelry of sale.My steps halted when I arrived in front of it. I looked at the various kinds of jewelry displayed and touched a few that I wanted to take a closer look at. They all looked pretty, but I didn't really want to buy them either; I just wanted to look around.I didn't have much jewelry, but my mother added to it according to my needs, so I didn't feel the need to do the same.A person who seemed to be the salesgirl watched me without saying much but then said to me after a while."Don't you intend to buy the jewelry, Miss? I think the b
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 387
Catherine's POVI was always with Benny and Edwin. I felt happy because I was finally able to make a new friend again, and it was a guy I initially thought was quiet and cold.At first, Benny and Edwin always argued for whatever reason, but in the end, they always accompanied me wherever I went. We were like a unique combination, from three different majors and different personalities.I heard rumors about us hanging out, going to our respective classes or the cafeteria."Look, she can get two handsome guys simultaneously," whispered one of the students.His friend replied. "She's so lucky. I never even managed to get close to Edwin Duncan....""She's luckier because she's close to Benny Thompson. That guy is really nice and friendly."They said that and then talked about one of the guys I was with, who was probably my boyfriend.One of them spoke up again. "Isn't that obvious? His girlfriend must be Benny. They've been in a relationship for a long time.""Hm, I agree."There were som

Catherine's POVI still felt uncomfortable walking on campus. Aside from my aching feet, my father's words before I was allowed to leave for the campus with our family's private driver also bothered me.I was happy with my friendship with Edwin and my friendship with Benny, which lasted longer than that. Both of them were friends to me, but my father always made our relationship seem like a transaction, trying to talk to them for the benefit of our family.He said that each of them would greatly help me prove myself in the Varma Family. Our relationship would make me valuable and not the only useless woman in our family, while all the things I had done before were meaningless in my father's eyes.I felt annoyed that my father shouldn't be behaving like that towards me, but also unable to do anything to stop it. As Edwin said, I was still not strong and had to extricate myself with the help of the allies that had just started from the man himself.My sigh escaped on its own, but after
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 385
Catherine's POVI had come out of the toilet and looked around the party room for Edwin and Benny, but they were nowhere to be seen.I could find my father easily, still chatting with some important people intimately, but the two men were nowhere to be seen. It was as if they had disappeared or were hiding very well so as not to be found by me.I recalled Benny's face, which didn't look too good before they left together, curling my lip and mumbling, "What is that guy going to do? That's not what I'm thinking about, is it?"Before going to the restroom, I heard the man wanted to talk to Edwin, but I wasn't sure. I'm currently feeling uncomfortable as I'm still searching for them among the crowd. That man might have misunderstood my relationship with Edwin.He was a very close friend, a really good friend who had been with me for so long that we were like brothers, but he didn't feel that way. He liked me, and I always pushed him away so our friendship wouldn't end.He always helped an
