Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 121
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

Nicole's POVWhoosh!I applauded as Richard's golf ball hit produced an excellent result, a perfect tee shot confirmed by one of the staff waiting at the end. "Well done, Richard."I praised my son for being so talented. Although he had only started practicing golf a few months ago, he had already mastered various golf courses without a single failure.I smiled, looking at him, who was looking back at me. "At this rate, I'll have a hard time catching up to you." I said as I walked closer to him.My son smiled slightly. "Have you beaten me so far? I only remember my victories during our matches."I chuckled, acknowledging Richard's second-to-none ability, not even compared to me, who only played casually but practiced with him on several occasions."That is indeed true. You're better than Mom, Richard." I muttered under my breath, acknowledging his prowess, then reached for the golf club in my bag while smiling at him. "So, how about you teach Mom this time?"He nodded, accepting my of

Nicole's POVI wanted to ignore him as if nothing had happened, pretending that I didn't know him like I should because I currently had no relationship with him. Even our meeting before this could only happen because he came to me, not the other way around.I decided not to look at him anymore and tried to walk past him, but he was still blocking my way. I could hear his breath that sounded dismissive."Are you going to ignore me? Pretend not to know when you don't," he said, the man who had haunted my past without realizing it. Jayden.I didn't react much to the man's words and just replied flatly. "I really don't know you.""Now you won't look at me either?" He asked, looking at me, who refused to meet his gaze.I didn't answer. It wasn't that I was afraid of him. It was just that I didn't want to deal with a man who had already made me feel like I was being played several times. I didn't want that to happen at all."I know that you know me very well, Nicole. You don't need to talk
