Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 125
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
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 129
Nicole's POVI thought the matter was over when I was about to ask Matthew and Richard to leave, but Jayden was still talking and made me stop my steps."Were you going to keep acting like you didn't know me up until this point, Nicole? Really?" He asked, raising his voice so that I could hear him, as well as the two men I was holding in my arms.I felt my hands trembling, but I tried to hide it by grasping their hands tighter and refrained from replying to the man's words. There was no point in me responding to Jayden's words when they would turn out to be something he could use.I looked down, speaking softly so that only Richard and Matthew could hear me. "Come on, already, just ignore it."I started stepping on them, but the man still didn't give up. "Oh, he's the man who is the father of your child, right? The new guy by your side that I don't know at all."Matthew immediately turned around, provoked by Jayden's words that were clearly directed at him. "Sir, you should have kept

Chris' POV"My apologies, sir. Miss Nicole is not available at the moment." I sighed, accepting the statement that I did not want to hear from the receptionist of the office I was visiting.I searched for Nicole's whereabouts, which disappeared after our last meeting. She was nowhere to be seen, not even in the places she had visited several times and knew well.I was worried that something terrible had happened to her. Still, I also didn't want to think that she might have avoided me after our meeting at Selena's house and unintentionally angered her.I visited one of Edwin Duncan's subsidiaries, which Nicole visited regularly, far more often than the other places, even though the hours varied daily.I noticed her working hours now and then, but for once, I couldn't find her in the office for several days straight. Information regarding where she went, or her current whereabouts was kept secret as it was a matter of personal interest to the woman.I paused after taking a few steps fr

Chris' POVI was in front of Edwin Duncan who finally stopped walking, giving me a cold stare even though he obviously knew me. He backed away, giving his driver a look to open the car for him to get back in, with me following."What's wrong?" He asked, not mincing words once we were inside and looking much colder. "You said that it was about my daughter.""Correct, sir," I replied.I wasn't affected at all by his cold demeanor because I was still given a chance to speak, but then the man exhaled softly, looking back at me with a gaze that turned sharp."Do you want to have a relationship with my daughter?" Edwin asked, startling me with his direct question. "I won't allow it."I paused, undoing my intention that was just about to answer the question that the old man had already answered himself. He was clearly building a very high wall, as his demeanor had become very cold, unlike himself a few years ago when I met the old man at an important event that brought together various busi

Chris' POVI looked at my smiling mom and walked over. "Go home," I said when I was near them.My mom still maintained her smile, refusing to leave right away and instead said something. "Mom just arrived.” She smile again. “Look, I came with that beautiful woman from the Green Family, Luciana Green. She admires you a lot despite your age gap. She's only 23 years old."I shifted my gaze to the woman brought by my mother. She was indeed a young, fair-skinned beauty with a fashionable appearance. Many men would probably like her or fall in love with her at first sight, but that man was not me.I simply didn't believe the term admiration that mom had pinned on that woman. If that woman had come to me on her own, perhaps I could have trusted her words more, but when she came with my mother, it became something very different from the old woman's behavior these days.I'm sure that my mother is still trying to set me up with all the women she feels are suitable to be my life partner. but so
