Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 169
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

Nicole's POV"Huh..." I unconsciously let out a breath between shock and unsure of what to say about Matthew's sudden statement.The bespectacled man looked at me again with a faint smile, but I could see his hands on the stiff steering wheel. Now that I've revealed my feelings, I think you can start considering my offer regarding our engagement, considering my statement just now.""That still sounds difficult to me, Matthew." I stammered a little but hadn't changed my mind about our possible relationship.Maybe the issue regarding the misunderstanding in his childhood had been resolved, but he still didn't know me and what I had gone through to end up with the Duncan Family.I can't lie. In a way, I felt much more relieved that he had feelings for me, as Nicole, not someone else. It embarrassed me, and I didn't know how to react to the overwhelming emotions I couldn't decipher inside me.He seemed to look at me again, still seemingly calm despite my reluctance. "I know, but I'm only

Nicole's POV"Shouldn't we get out of here?" Matthew asked, looking at me, who was working, with a deep gaze. He asked me to get up from my seat and go with him.I stopped staring at the computer screen, turned to the man, and exhaled softly. "You're getting more and more pushy the longer you act."Some time had passed after our conversation in the car about the bespectacled man's confession and the possibility of our relationship continuing. It seems like it happened only yesterday, but time has really flown by, and we're getting closer to each other.He also visited my office more frequently, sometimes checking in with me via text or just walking into my office like he was alone. Key eventually told the staff concerned that he was allowed to come in whenever he wanted so that he wouldn't always be questioned about his sudden visits.Just like now. I was just checking the man's message when he came in first, wanting to take me to lunch, but I still had a lot of paperwork to take care

Nicole's POVI turned around after he finished hooking the necklace around my neck, startled by what he said. "Why are you giving me this gift? I'm not having a birthday or a party."Gifts like this should be given on special occasions or celebrations, not out of the blue like this man did. I felt that what he was doing now was excessive, adding to the list of good things he was doing to me, but I also couldn't immediately refuse because I still wanted to hear his reason for doing this."Do I have to wait for those special days to give you gifts?" He asked, looking just as clueless as me for different reasons. The man looked at me as he adjusted the necklace he had just put on. "I just wanted to give something to someone I thought was special."I paused, feeling the heaviness on my lips. I didn't know what to say to him, but I also felt happy with his words about me being special. He said he had feelings for me, but his good deeds never changed and grew as our relationship progressed.
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 176
Nicole's POV"Hmm...."I unconsciously murmured, feeling Matthew's lips move slowly over mine, kissing softly and drawing me in even more. His hand was at the base of my jaw, becoming a resting place as I accepted his kiss, which now turned into a lick between our lips.He was careful with every movement, making sure I could keep up with him, but he also gave me a sweet and gentle impression of the kisses he gave me. I felt my eyelids flutter as our breathing grew hotter, and we exchanged kisses that never seemed to end.He pulled away for a moment, switched the position of his face, with his eyes fixed only on my lips, as if targeting the next point, and went back to kissing me, alternately crushing the top and bottom of my lips and giving me another kiss that involved a light touch that felt like butterflies above my lips.I felt a little overwhelmed, holding the sleeves of his suit tightly as he slightly pushed his lips closer to mine. My eyelids fluttered again, feeling the man's
