Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 173
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
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 174
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
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 175
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
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 177
Nicole's POVI was already in my office, struggling with the files piled up on my desk as I went through them individually. I had forgotten to ask the man to bring me this pile of work when I arrived at the jewellery store, feeling that returning to the office before the break ended would be impossible.As the company leader, I couldn't possibly set a bad example at work, so I chose to continue my work at home despite not liking it much.I concentrated, reading the documents attached to my desk and jotting down a few small notes, but then my mind was suddenly distracted, so my writing turned into sharp strokes. "Oh, no...." I blinked, realising that the scratches were on the book I had provided, not on the document I was working on, so I breathed a sigh of relief.My face heated up, remembering the kiss I received from Matthew a moment ago. My hand automatically touches my lips, and I can still feel the touch of that man's lips, which feels real now. It's a warm, soft, and sweet sensa
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 178
Nicole's POVI blinked a few times, speechless after hearing Selena's words. The woman smiled at my reaction before grabbing my arm and leaving her seat."Take it easy. You'll be confused, Miss Nicole, but you'll understand eventually." She said. Some of the people who come here come with their partners, but when the party starts, they will be removed for some reason. Do you know what I mean?"I just stared at her, not understanding what she was saying. As usual, I had only come here to join the socialite gathering, but that woman had prepared something quite daring and was hoping that I could figure out what she meant.I felt like I had made a mistake by coming here, but I didn't have time to resist when the woman who was older than me hugged my arm and started walking."Miss should be more relaxed. We're at a party I've prepared with you being single in mind." She said, taking two glasses of alcohol from a staff member who walked past us. "Having a partner is a good thing. You won't
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 179
Nicole's POVI felt surprised by the man's arrival at the socialite party. He shouldn't have liked something like this because it was informal and not entirely business-related, but it didn't seem to be the case this time.I don't know for sure, but just as I was about to think about it, the man who hadn't seen me finally looked at me. Finding my eyes on the other guests, I automatically averted my gaze.My feelings became uncomfortable with his presence here and a bad feeling with my decision to come here. I shouldn't have come here and chose to rest at home.".... That way, the women and men who don't have a partner tonight will have a partner when they return from this party. It might be lovers at first, but then some of you might get married someday."I frowned slightly when I heard Selena's words, which seemed like the first part of the conversation I hadn't heard. The few people present laughed at the serious joke, which made the elegant woman happy."Hm, are you all getting imp
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 180
Nicole's POVI danced with Chris in his arms, with his hand on my back. I wasn't clinging, but just a little close to him and holding hands according to the dance position.Now, he was trying to bring our bodies closer together. The man's hands were already pressing against my back, deliberately pushing me closer, but of course, I refused to give in and gripped my hands on his shoulders for support.I gave him a sharp look. "Don't act so much. I want to be seen dancing, not cuddling with you.""I feel that this is fate." He spoke, smiling as he looked at me.I frowned. "Destiny, you say? Obviously, this is a plan you deliberately made to trap me into being with you."So far, that guy's plan had gone smoothly. I had no idea I would end up with him here when I did everything possible to avoid him.I admit that I can't drive away directly when it's just the two of us like this, but that guy probably already knows the same thing, so he took advantage of it and made me feel trapped in my
