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

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

Edwin's POVI didn't realize that loving someone would make me feel things I didn't know. Although my first encounter with Catherine was not good, it still left a deep impression on me.She was just an innocent woman who knew little about the world around her, even worse than me, who had always received a private education before deciding to attend a public university.However, the more I got to know her and talked to her, the more I found out that she wasn't just a spoiled child from a rich family. She had her own difficulties and realized that she couldn't just stand by and accept the injustices that were always said in favor of her family.We also became friends in the end, but something went wrong.I didn't have a problem with it at all. In fact, I liked it a lot. That woman had a lot of eyes around her, who noticed her and were obviously interested in her from a mild level to infatuation, just like her best friend.Although I didn't really understand the concept of love or anythi
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 406
Benny's POVI was very surprised to hear that Catherine would marry Edwin. Her father had rejected the proposal letter sent by my father a while ago, so I called her immediately."Yes, I'm going to marry Edwin, Benny." She answered without hiding anything else.I was silent for a long time, unable to believe what I was hearing even though Catherine had admitted it herself. She didn't seem to realize what I was feeling until she started telling me what had happened.My frown deepened as she told me, unable to contain my shock about what had happened to her. The fact that the woman I liked was pregnant with a man who had been hanging out with us for the past few days, making friends as usual.The man didn't show that their relationship had changed, but the truth was more than I could have imagined. The threat that I felt from Edwin finally came true. He usurped my position to be the only man who could be by her side.In the end, the relationship I tried so hard to build with Catherine m
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 405
Catherine's POV"Wow, you really made my parents speechless, Edwin."I praised him, feeling a little amazed by the man who could make me look at my father, who could only be silent without being able to do anything. My mother also looked very surprised and watched the man stunned, but still, my father's reaction was the best thing I had ever seen.No one had ever rivaled him, not even Daniel. My father only relented or made compromises regarding my brother, unlike when dealing with Edwin, who seemed to have slapped him to reality.We were already outside my house. I had deliberately escorted him to the residence fence because I didn't want to be with my parents and still wanted to chat with the man who had caused such a stir inside our house.The man snorted softly. "I know someone like your father. He wouldn't dare to contradict someone like me."I nodded, remembering my father's face, which could only harden, but I could not say anything. After all, Edwin's family was far more impor
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 404
Catherine's POV"I am happy for your relationship, Catherine and Young Master Duncan, " my father said with a disgusting smile. I had no idea that we would become a family so soon."He laughed to himself while I felt increasingly uncomfortable with the old man's increasingly blatant attitude. My father did not hide his pleasure at all with what Edwin and I had said today after my examination at the hospital.My gaze fell on the man sitting next to me. He still looked calm, giving me a quick glance as he reached out to take one of my hands. This made me feel less alone among my greedy family members.My father still maintained a smile, looking at Edwin and me in turn. "The relationship between you two should be kept a secret immediately so as not to cause any inconvenience to Young Master, don't you think?" He looked at the man and then at me with a faint smile."You are very clever, Catherine." His gaze pierced me. "You've managed to find a wonderful future husband for our family."I
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 403
Catherine's POVI was shocked by the man's words and looked at him. I liked him, but I wasn't sure about his feelings for me after finding out I was pregnant. After all, his sweet treatment back then and our current situation are different things.I swallowed my saliva and nodded. "Yes, Duncan. This baby is your son."I shifted my gaze in another direction. The man was probably angry. We had done it that time with the same desire, sharing the warmth of an intimate activity I had never experienced before. Still, it would be to my detriment if he was like any other man.He might turn out to be selfish and not care about me anymore after sleeping with me. I've heard several times from my friends that when a woman gets pregnant during a one-night stand, she has only two options. Keep the baby with no one or abort it and experience pain for who knows how long.Neither is good, and I don't want to go through it alone.One thing's for sure: in most of the stories I've heard, the man who spen
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 402
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
