Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 191
Nicole's POVThat morning, I was enjoying breakfast with my father without Richard. The boy who usually got ready before me was now still asleep. When I asked Key, the boy had apparently told my assistant from the night before that he would be up later, exhausted from his robot project.I respected the boy's wishes and decided not to wake him up, letting him enjoy breakfast once he was feeling better.My father and I ate quietly for a while until the man suddenly said something without looking at me. "It turns out you're already dating Matthew, Nicole."I coughed, choking as the drink I had just swallowed was trapped by the air from my throat. A waiter immediately came forward to help me, taking my place holding the glass while patting my back a few times before finally retreating to his position. I was grateful that none of the drink had spilled onto my shirt."Father.... How did you find out?" I finally asked, looking at the old man who was waiting for me to continue, but I had noth

Nicole's POVI was so angry when I walked into my room, still thinking about the man who had crossed the line again by coming up to me and forcing me to talk to him. I should have been able to reject that man from the start, leaving without the need to engage him when I was more alert, but again, I lost to his power.Now, I couldn't even concentrate on my work when that resentful feeling was still struggling inside me. I gripped the pen I was using tightly, gritting my teeth as I remembered his face, which could still play the victim when we no longer had any relationship."Damn it, Chris!" I cursed with a hiss, unable to contain myself anymore.Such harsh words were not enough with all the things I had experienced when it came to him, but I was also speechless with the existence of that insolent man who was still affecting my life at this point. I was already tired.The door to the room opened while I was still trying to calm my emotions. Lona, the company secretary, walked into my r

Smith's POVI staggered over, holding the bottle of alcohol that contained only the last few drops. After the hundreds of bottles of alcohol I had managed to retain from my precious collection, this was one of the previous bottles I had at the moment, while at home, there was only one other bottle left.My once happy life was now going from bad to worse. It wasn't enough that my family's business had gone bankrupt, all the wealth I had accumulated over the years seemed to have vanished and the house that housed me had gone from being luxurious and grand to being small and too modest.No one helped me from my fate that had suddenly changed like this. From people I had worked with to people I had known for a long time, especially my former son-in-law, who seemed to prevent me from coming after our last meeting."Damn, man," I muttered, recalling the incident a few days ago that still felt fresh in my memory, intending to ask him for a bit of money.Without any consideration, that man re

Smith's POVI rubbed my forehead after waking up, still feeling the residual dizziness that made my head hurt. I got out of bed and headed towards the old laptop, which was the only one in the house. The creaking engine sounded as I turned it on, and it took a few minutes for it to fully power up.I remained patient until I started logging into the public web page to find information about Nicole and her whereabouts in the city. She was a well-known figure, so I thought that finding her wouldn't be difficult. Many reporters cover people like her, especially when she is unique from others."You think you can hide, Nicole?" I muttered under my breath, smiling to myself as confidence filled me.I deliberately skipped over the many articles stating the various successes he had achieved and the projects he had undertaken over the years, turning instead to the personal information that should be available from any family member of a conglomerate doing business.I searched for a while, readi

Nicole's POVI exhaled as my gaze fell on the man in front of me. We met while I was in the elevator, about to get off somewhere else, but then I saw Chris preparing to get into the elevator."You're not listening at all," I said to the man, sighing, as he stepped inside and immediately closed the elevator doors.I could see the few people who were about to get on distracting themselves and whispering to each other, but I didn't have time to care about that with the person I was with right now. He had come out of the blue several times, but this was the first time he returned after a long absence.The elevator moved to the top floor again. I leaned on the far side of it, not hearing any response or conversation from the man, who still looked calm. My heart throbbed painfully, and I did not like that I had to be stuck with him again.I thought this would all be over after the incident when we were together at the hospital and then at my house, but that man's stubbornness cannot be unde

Nicole's POV"Dispose of these flowers and gift box immediately, Lona," I said, noticing the box among the flower arrangements but not intending to look inside. "I don't need them."The secretary nodded stiffly, bowed politely, and then threw them both in the nearby trash can. "I will ask the cleaning staff to clean it up immediately.""Good." I nodded and walked out of the room to my car.I had intended to leave earlier, but that man came, and there was one document I had to take care of. Now, I could finally go after finishing that business. Lona followed me all the way to the basement, where the vehicles were parked, faithfully following my steps until I got near my car.The sound of the car door lock opening sounded at the same time as I pressed the button, but just as I was about to open the car door, I could hear the voice of someone I hadn't heard in a long time, and it sent chills down my spine."Nicole!" The old man's hoarse voice rang out loudly.I turned around, clenching o

Nicole's POVI was so surprised when I saw that the person pulling Smith away from me was Chris. The man looked angry, staring at the old man who chuckled as he also looked at the figure who had suddenly pulled his hand away."What are you doing here?" The man asked the person in front of him.The old man who had looked annoyed earlier smiled wryly, looking unperturbed and seemingly relaxed. "What are you talking about? I just wanted to say hello to my daughter."I felt nauseous when the old man started talking about his longing for me, stories of the past that never really existed, but he made it seem like it really happened between us.My body trembled, wanting to stop the man's words, which were far more hurtful than his original attitude, but I was unable to speak other than remaining silent on the spot.Smith was again pulled by the man, but he did not give up easily and tried to break free. The difference in body size was not that great, but the old man clearly did not have the

Nicole's POV"Ugh!" I held my aching head, feeling the prickles radiating from there until I had to close my eyes for a moment and squeeze my hair.Someone touched my shoulder, slightly distracting me from the pain. "Nicole, are you okay? You look like you're in pain."I didn't say anything for a while. I hadn't had a headache like this in a long time, so it surprised me. I wasn't sure what caused it, but I didn't want to make the man I was with feel worried when we met again after so many busy days."I'm fine." I tried to smile, looking at Matthew who seemed to be staring at me intently.He didn't seem to believe what I was saying, which was unconvincing when the pain was still engulfing me.The man frowned, still looking at me skeptically. "How about we do an examination for you, Nicole? You seem to be getting a lot of headaches these days. I'm worried about you."I kind of regretted telling him about my headache symptoms when we didn't see each other, but even without that, we also
