Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 165
Chris' POVI watched as the man held Nicole in his arms, helping her to lie back down on the hospital bed that was slightly higher than the wheelchair."Take it easy, Nicole." The man spoke, slowly lowering the woman onto the bed.The woman lowered her hand onto the bed, trying to place herself carefully while her other hand was still hugging the neck of the man with glasses, making me feel jealous for not being able to do the same for her.I watched as the woman finally lay down, disentangling herself from the man with a relieved smile, as did the man. "Thank you." I could hear the woman speaking.The man's hand seemed to move closer to Nicole's face. He used the back of his hand to wipe away the flowing sweat and quickly switched to tucking the woman's hair behind her ear. He smiled happily."No problem."I clenched my fists, knowing she was comfortable with the seemingly natural touch, as they had probably done it several times before I saw her in person.The man ended his help by

Nicole's POVI had a relaxing time at the hospital. Richard would come to me during every visit, spending time with me and keeping me company while I was still undergoing treatment, just like today.We were playing chess together. He was already executing various tactics while I was painstakingly defending my King's position from being eaten for the umpteenth time, either by the Queen, the Minister, or even my son's Fortress.I exhaled, watching my son's Minister, who was already directing checkmate. My only chess pieces were a few pawns, and one horse almost threatened with death, so I was already completely cornered."How is this? Mom seems to be losing again against you." I said, advancing a pawn for what defence I could.My son smiled. "Mom, don't despair yet. I only have ministers, queens and kings...."I shook my head a few times, not knowing whether to feel sad or happy that my son was still trying to cheer me up. There were more chess pieces on my side, but my movement was sti

Nicole's POVSelena looked at me, unaware of what she had just heard from Chris. "Is that true, Miss Nicole?"I nodded. "It's true."I closed my eyes momentarily as she looked at me and the man in turn. I tried to avoid everything related to the man still standing without knowing what he had done, but with just what the man said just now, my wish could not happen.The middle-aged woman closed her mouth, admiring Chris. "Wow, you're perfect. If that is the case, then you are like a hero to Miss Nicole."I still didn't say anything after that, just listened to how the woman sitting next to me couldn't stop praising Chris's not-quite-righteous deeds, while the man seemed unremarkable.Although it was confirmed that he was the one who saved me, I also knew that his arrival at that time was utterly coincidental. He, who had no idea what his purpose was in coming to see me, ended up seeing me as an insane man who was kidnapped.I was grateful for what that man had done, overcoming the worst

Nicole's POVI brushed my hair back, trying to quell the feelings in my chest, but I couldn't hold it in anymore. He's the one who always acts as he pleases, but why do I feel like I have to give in every time? I don't want to have to act like that anymore.I looked at him sharply. "Stop it, Chris. I don't want to hear your nonsense anymore, and I don't want to see your annoying presence around me.""Annoying?" The man repeated my words as a question, making me stare at him even more sharply, but he just snorted softly and shook his head for a moment. "Alright, today I'll just get here. I originally came just to see how you were doing, Nicole...."He explained that his coming was never meant to be bad, but I always put him in the wrong position with my actions when it was just the two of us like this. The man quickly brought up my previous words and claimed that I was the one who made him become like this.I didn't take my eyes off him when I heard his twisted statement. Even now, he

Matthew's POVI remember the first time I met Nicole again. I was immediately attracted to her. She was beautiful in one look, and her aura did not seem weak. She was a strong existence that I immediately noticed among the many people I had met.The woman's eyes didn't seem to hesitate as she looked at me, whom she didn't seem to recognize right away. Although her voice sounded a bit cautious, she seemed to respond in the same way that I did: friendly but not immediately familiar and providing enough boundaries.Although I did cross the line a bit by giving her a hint about our next meeting and touching hands and cheeks with her a few times because I couldn't help myself."Richard...." I muttered the name of that beautiful woman's son I had recently learned.He's a boy who looks much like his mother but is also slightly different. I knew he had the distinction of having a calm demeanor like an adult, but he could also have fun or behave like a child with his mother.With just one look

Matthew's POVI was eating with my father at the dining table in our house. I glanced at my father several times while we were eating, waiting for him to say something until he finally looked at me."What's wrong, Matthew? You seem to have something to talk to me about." He said.I put down the cutlery I was using before looking at him again. "It's not me, it's Dad. That time, you said that there was something you wanted to talk to me about, but you had other things to do."I only remembered discussing Nicole when he suddenly excused himself, and I went somewhere else. I was pretty excited about the engagement being discussed between Nicole and me. Still, my father said that there were things that I should know before the engagement procession was fully executed.Of course, I wanted to know, but some things had happened, so the conversation could only continue now.My father looked at me with slightly widened eyes, realizing the conversation I was having. "Oh, you remember our convers

Matthew's POVToday was the day Nicole would be discharged from her hospitalization. I was on my way to the hospital feeling rather uncomfortable, remembering the time when I thought that Nicole was Natalie when talking to her about my childhood memories.I remembered how that woman's expression made me a little sad. I thought she was just unable to remember a memorable event for me, but it turned out that it could be her other past that she didn't want to talk about anymore.The only thing I can be sure of is that my feelings for her are true. Childhood was important, but our accidental meeting at the cafe and what followed made me fall for that woman even more."It's here," I muttered softly, exhaling after I had finished parking my car.I looked at the bouquet of flowers I had leaned against the passenger seat, noticing the soft-colored arrangement the florist had suggested before I came here. I had intended to give this bouquet to Nicole to congratulate her on her return, but then

Nicole's POV I looked at Chris, who had started to calm down but didn't look like he would back down. "Now you can go, Chris. You must be busy." He seemed to open his mouth, but I didn't let that happen, so I spoke first, more seriously than before. "You heard what my fiancée said. Go away." I gave the man a cold stare, while he seemed to love not believing my words. "Are you really serious, Nicole? He is your fiancé?" His eyes seemed to flutter as he looked at me, uninterested in mentioning Matthew's name or seeing him for himself. "He's not a nice guy." I snorted softly, looking at her even colder after hearing those ignorant words. "Look, who's talking? Don't you know, or should I confirm it for you?" The man fell silent. Although he had been behaving as he pleased, he also had his own calculations about what he could admit and not with his mouth. I sighed, already too tired of the tension I always felt when dealing with him. As long as that man was near me, I couldn't res

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

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

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

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
