Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 152
Nicole's POVNow I was walking with my father. We happened to meet when I was going to get a drink while he was just about to go into his room. My father took me to the garden that was the courtyard of this house, with some lights around so it wasn't too dark."How was your meeting with Matthew?" My father asked, looking at me, who had been silent.I returned his gaze. "It was pleasant. He took Richard and me to dinner at one of his family's restaurants. The food was good, and we talked a lot. He's a nice guy."I recounted what we did with him, from the moment we arrived at his family restaurant to his carrying my son to his room. Edwin nodded a few times, seemingly satisfied with our short time together. "I know, he's always been a good person." My father said. "He also loves children so much that he doesn't mind participating in volunteer activities in various countries."I paused, remembering my thoughts about her skill in talking to my son, who only had family and a few staff mem

Nicole's POVI was already in the office, looking at the many documents laid out on the desk, when I was just about to sit down. Key noticed the direction of my gaze and finally spoke."These are the documents that you need to take care of, Ms. Nicole. Some of them are from big companies that are making offers of cooperation to the company."I nodded, understanding what he said, but did not take it for granted as I counted the total of the documents. "Please go through the documents here again, Key. I'll finish them as soon as possible, starting today."Normally, I would be the one to select them again if they were too overwhelming, but this was still a lot, and I wanted to save more time with the other jobs that also needed my attention.After all, out of the many business proposals that came in, not all were accepted when considering important things such as capital, profit, and the timeframe of the project's implementation from start to finish.Key already understood that well, so

Nicole's POVI rubbed my face, resting both elbows on the table when Matthew had completely left my room. "What the hell did I do?"Automatically, the memory of what happened earlier swirled back into my mind. Without much thought, I stood on tiptoe with his shoulder as support while his hands curled around my waist out of reflex. Then, my lips pressed right against his cheek, which felt a little rough.I could remember how the man's eyes blinked slowly, and his hand slipped from my waist, switching to holding the cheek I had just kissed while I stared at him without saying anything. His treatment of me provoked me to do the same.Perhaps it was also the influence of my father's words stating that I should be happier, as well as my own feelings, that had actually started to open up for that man."Gosh, what else was I thinking?" I closed my eyes, remembering in slow motion when I kissed the bespectacled man on the cheek. My lips were so hot that I touched them a few times, feeling ver

Nicole's POVJayden quickly covered my mouth and pulled me up forcefully, one hand clamped tightly over my mouth while the other grasped my hand tightly. I tried to wriggle out of his tight grip but couldn't because it made it seem like his arm was going to strangle me."There's no more chance of running away from me." He whispered in my ear, lingering there until I could hear his disgusting breath directly. "I waited too long, thinking you'd disappeared, but you came back to me, Nicole."I struggled harder, shuddering violently, as I felt the wet sensation in my ear and the man's strange slurping sounds. The sense of dread I felt grew stronger as he stepped faster and faster and pushed me into the car through the same door as him."Let go of me!" I yelled, trying to kick him, who was still within my reach, but he easily caught my leg and put it in the right position.He let me struggle, even restraining me while fastening the seatbelt, not showing the slightest expression on his face

Chris's POVI knew that Nicole was in this suburb from the last tracking done by the team Evan had created. I had received the map and set the directions on my car but had lost track of it with limited internet access when I simultaneously received a call for a few moments.I was already driving down the road with the edges flattened for the factory area that was still some distance ahead of me, eager to meet the woman who had driven me away several times but had yet to confirm the information I had found about her or her son who was most likely mine.I had deliberately come here to surprise her so that she wouldn't be able to evade, but then a car came from the opposite direction in front of me. I subconsciously watched, recognizing the figure in the driver and the passenger who had seen me first."Nicole?" I mumbled, seeing the woman in the passenger seat panicking and hitting the windshield several times. I could read her lips clearly calling out to me, making my eyes widen, but th

Chris' POVAt that moment, I was shocked when I felt the effect of the blow on my face, especially when the person who did this kind of action was Edwin Duncan, the great lord who was most known for his calmness. I looked at the man, not fighting back as he clenched his hands tightly."Do you think I'll be grateful for the favor you did for my sdaughter?" He asked, sounding fiery. "This all happened because of you, all of you from his past. Why... why are you still being mean and heartless to her?"The man sounded like he had a broken heart for Nicole, something I didn't understand when they weren't even family. Although I couldn't deny that both I and the man who had put her in danger were indeed someone who had given her a bad past.I had already admitted my mistake, but perhaps there were things that she still couldn't forgive that her foster father could talk to me like this.He grabbed the collar of the suit I was wearing tightly. "It's been a few days since you guys showed up, b

Chris' POVNicole looked back at me when we were alone. I still felt uncomfortable, guilty for her, and awkward when she said nothing to me for a while. I finally noticed the woman leaning not too comfortably on the hospital bed."You better lie down, Nicole," I suggested.She shook her head, remaining in her sitting position though now using a pillow to lean on. "I know that you saved me from what happened earlier."I listened to her speak carefully, not wanting to jump to conclusions like before, and trying to listen to everything she said first. She looked at me and finally continued."You saved me from that man. You know, he wanted to do something that might have made me unable to see my only child…."I looked at the woman, who showed no particular expression but I could see her hands trembling even though she was clasping them together. That woman was ugly to feel emotional after experiencing such a frightening event just now, without being able to fight back and without the help
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 159
Nicole's POVI was surprised to see Richard coming into my room and realized that Chris' hand was still holding the back of my hand. I pulled my hand away and looked at my son, who seemed to be panting in front of me. Watching him, who appeared to be staring at me intently."Richard, are you here too?" I asked, but the boy didn't answer and just kept walking.I looked behind my son, and a man I recognized followed him. He also showed himself—Matthew. He looked worried and seemed to want to talk, but at that moment, my son had already approached first and gave me a tight hug, crying bitterly.I hurriedly looked at Richard, who was crying loudly for the first time, touching his back, which felt shaky, before he spoke. "Is Mom okay? I was building a robot, but then heard that Mom was taken to the hospital."He told me that he heard Edwin, who was also accompanying him, when he received a call from Key. Although I don't know what exactly he heard at the time, I know that he became very wo
