Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 141
Nicole's POVAfter a few encounters with Matthew, my relationship with him became pretty close. Whether it was an accidental or deliberate encounter, we could interact as usual, especially with the man's contribution of still trying hard to engage me in conversation.Just like now. We were walking together to watch a movie at the theatre, although I didn't know about it when he called."You said we're walking around the mall today," I said, looking at her as she just handed over the tickets for each of us to the staff.He smiled, carrying both the drinks in his hands and my hand, which was dangling on his arm since she was the one who put it down, while I held the large popcorn that would accompany us watching.It was all so fast, I couldn't even protest and could only follow him willingly and sit in our spot. "You're getting better at setting me up, Matthew."I could see his smiling. "I'll take it as a compliment. I'm glad I could take you out to watch like this."I returned his smil

Nicole's POV"Nicole, who are you with?" Chris asked, looking at Matthew briefly with a look of dislike before looking back at me.I looked back at him, still holding on to the man beside me. "It's none of your business. Go away, Mr. Chris."We stared at each other for a few moments. I had intended to take Matthew away, but the man apparently knew Chris and gave me a surprised look before returning his gaze to the man in front of us."Mr. Christian Grant?" The bespectacled man spoke, still looking incredulous at the figure before him. "Well, I didn't expect to meet you here by chance. I'm Matthew Thompson."The green-brown-eyed man looked at Matthew's outstretched hand, seemed uninterested in accepting it, and ignored it. He switched to folding his hands together, looking coldly at the man beside me."Oh, you're from the Thompson Family." The man did not sound interested at all.Matthew nodded, retracted his hand and kept smiling. "Right, Mr. Grant."I didn't look at the man next to m

Nicole's POVI still felt ashamed of Matthew's words discussing my unconscious words about him. Of course, I wasn't lying, but hearing him tease me with what I said earlier made me regret it.I'd forgotten that he had a habit of acting like that every time we met. Even though we'd only met a few times, he'd told me that he liked how easily I'd become embarrassed by his simple flirting so that he'd subconsciously get hooked. Even after that, he would change the subject so as not to do the same thing over and over again.We were in the car, already in front of my house, after driving from the mall. "Wait a minute." The bespectacled man blurted out just as I was about to open the door.He opened the door next to him and walked out until he came to my door and opened it. I saw him extend his hand to me, smiling. I felt awkward, especially when he finally grabbed my hand to hold it while helping me step out of the car.After we walked out, he did not immediately let go of my hand and kept

Nicole's POVI was surprised to see him here, in front of my house. I wanted to rush inside, but he quickly approached me and called my name."Nicole."I stood still for a moment, taking a deep breath before turning around and giving him a sharp glare. "Are you a stalker now, sir? You've followed me all the way home.""Sorry." The man didn't seem the least bit guilty and simply replied. "I couldn't help myself after being unable to see you these past few days. I looked everywhere for you."I frowned, not expecting the level of the man who had always been cold to everyone when it came to me. I had many problems on my mind, including that guy, but I didn't look into his whereabouts until I found out about his activities."What for? I don't remember doing business with you, and vice versa." I looked at him even colder. "I even repeatedly said not to approach me."He paused, not denying my words, and clenched his hands into fists. But then he looked back at me. "I feel uneasy after seeing

Nicole's POV"Go away!" I yelled at Chris, unable to control myself, who was too freaked out by his statement. "Get out of here, asshole!"I was always afraid of him finding out that Richard was his flesh and blood, but I had no idea that he would find out so soon. I had tried so hard to hide that fact, trying not to involve my son in the matter between me and the man who had already broken me, but it seemed like reality was showing me otherwise.I'm sure that the Duncan Family's information protection is excellent, but that man might have found another source that can prove his information search. I don't know, but right now, I also can't think of anything with all the feelings that seem to be drowning me when thinking about the words of the man who is now looking at me with surprise."Nicole." He tried to call out to me, wanting to grab my hand for comfort, but I quickly pushed his hand away.I didn't want to get close to him at all and leave, but my feelings had taken over first. "
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 146
Nicole's POVI was already in my room, sitting on the sofa with my father next to me. Key had brought drinks for each of us, but I had been asked to drink first in order to calm down after the incident outside the house. I savored the drink, feeling it go down my throat before my father spoke."What did that man do to you, Nicole?" Edwin asked, repeating Richard's earlier question that I hadn't answered.I set the cup I was holding on the table and caught my breath. Thinking about Chris's words for the umpteenth time, it still made me feel anxious and uncomfortable inside, as well as when my son was in the room to follow our conversation.He refused to leave when I asked Key to take him to the lab, so I had no choice but to let my son follow the conversation as usual. After all, he had the right to know about what was going on and was indirectly involved in this matter, even though I didn't want him to be at all.Right from the start, my son had known that the man with brownish-green

Chris' POVThe atmosphere of grief was quite thick when I arrived at the cemetery. With the sky looking overcast, there were already many people gathered, all wearing black and looking down during the funeral procession that was still going on.I stood at the back, mingling with the people and watching as someone's coffin began to be lowered into the freshly dug grave. I clenched my fists tightly, watching as several people began to bury the coffin into the ground. I felt even more chaotic seeing that, knowing that the woman inside the coffin would not be able to see me again after this.I closed my eyes for a moment and turned around, quickly leaving before the event was entirely over. My heart was even messier; thinking about our last encounter at the altar wasn't good at all, but that didn't mean I didn't want to see her again.I had no idea that that day would also be the last day of our meeting. I still felt hurt for that woman, but her end was too tragic. We hadn't met for the l

Chris' POVNow we were sitting on opposite couches. I asked Evan to make a drink with my gaze, but the old man noticed the sign I gave my secretary and gave him a glance."You don't have to make anything," he said before returning his gaze to me, still looking cold. I'll just have a quick word and not be on good terms with you, Mr. Grant. Maybe you forgot."I paused, trying to be calm, and turned to ask the man who had been standing in the middle of the room to leave immediately. I felt a little distressed by Edwin's presence, but I didn't want to show it, which might give the man sitting opposite me the upper hand.Standing before him had been too much last time, but now he was coming to me alone, and we had to talk without anyone else present. The whole thing felt too much for me, so I wished to eliminate him immediately, but no way would happen.We stared at each other until the authoritative man began to speak. "Stop interfering with my daughter and grandson's lives."I stared at
