Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 143
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. "

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

Chris' POVAfter learning so much about Nicole and Richard, I still couldn't do anything. Talking to neither her nor Edwin Duncan yielded the results I wanted, and it only made me feel worse when I remembered what the old man had said before leaving my office.Nicole, who doesn't love me? That sentence seemed impossible even though I tried to digest his words repeatedly.I was sure such a thing was impossible. I had met the woman who always seemed to hate me several times, but her gaze and demeanour never lied. Although it was faint, I knew she still loved me as much as I felt for her.Her words about not seeing her were lies because she always accepted me to talk when I came by unexpectedly. She didn't hate me so much that she built a wall, but rather a gap I could keep trying to get closer to."She's the one who can't be honest here," I muttered.Even though I had settled the matter in my mind, Edwin's words about women could not leave and affect me until now. I followed Nicole and

Nicole's POVI had just finished looking through the menu delivered by a waiter, while Richard still seemed engrossed in the details from the page he opened and muttering to himself. I then looked around, searching for the one figure who had said goodbye to leave for a moment but had not returned.Apart from Richard and I, no other guests were present, so the spacious restaurant was tranquil. There were only a few waiters, but they were just waiting at one side of the room to be summoned if needed and didn't seem to be approaching before then.I exchanged a few accidental glances with one of the waiters before finally spotting Matthew walking towards our table."Did you find what you were looking for?" I asked, watching the man smile as he pulled out his chair so he could sit down.He nodded. "I did. Were you waiting for me?" The man asked, raising his eyebrows to tease me.I shook my head in disbelief and exhaled, still not used to his smooth talk. I did wait for him, but his tone su

Edwin's POVI know why Catherine is acting like this. She was proposed to by Benny, her best friend who seemed to have more feelings for her, but she herself didn't want that to happen.She had told me the things she wanted, some of the things in between the annoyance and sadness she felt. Above all, for Catherine, Benny was her treasured friend, not as a future husband nor one who could free her from the Varma family.I agreed to that after feeling a little uncomfortable with the way she had been talking about a man who had not been with us for some time.No sooner had I approached her who stood up from her seat in the restaurant and was in an unsteady state, than she fell into my arms. I could feel how soft and fragrant her body was close to mine.The sound of her breathing could be clearly heard over my shoulder where she was leaning. She was almost unconscious, so I sighed softly and whispered to her. "You seem to be looking for trouble with me, Varma."I repositioned her between

Catherine's Point of View"So, how was it?" He asked, looking at me.I wiped my face with my handkerchief, unable to look directly at the man again after a long stare, but still shook my head with certainty. "No way, my opinion hasn't changed from what I said before. I don't think it makes any sense.""Alright." The man nodded. "Come on, I'll treat you to dinner."I returned Edwin's nod, accepting the man's ride to a private restaurant that catered to a wide variety of conglomerate families from this city and abroad. This was the first time I had visited this famous place; previously, I had only heard about it from my father and Daniel.In addition to being a place to formally entertain guests, some also make official cooperation agreements between foreign companies, including my family, which is also the reason my younger brother was able to go to this place first with my father.I sat opposite Edwin, enjoying the view of the city through the restaurant's glass, which was almost as t

Catherine's POVI looked at the man over my glasses, feeling mixed emotions inside me as I poured out all sorts of things I had wanted to say to him since last night but could only say today."Did you know that your family sent a marriage proposal to my family?" I began. "It wasn't that long ago that we entered college, Ben, but how could the proposal come at such an unexpected time and from your family."My gaze was fixed on his eyes, which were also looking at me. "Did you ask for the proposal to be sent to my family so that we can get married?"He didn't say a word in reply; he just squeezed his hands on each side of his body and turned his gaze away from me. I clamped my mouth shut for a moment."I'm furious." I took a deep breath, trying to control myself from overwhelming feelings."You already know I don't like this at all, Ben. Getting married. It's a new prison for me and indirectly proves to my father that I'll never escape the Varma family's female nature."I still remember
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
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 392
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
