Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 204
Chris' POVI gripped my phone tightly, swiping the screen slowly as I finished reading the news paragraph. I then pressed the video link at the article's bottom, taking my phone screen to another app.The video rotated. I skipped past the part about the opening of another family business that I didn't want to know about and went straight to the beautiful Nicole and the jerk next to her. It stated that they were now officially engaged."What the hell?" I took a shaky breath, unable to believe the information I had accidentally found. "This can't be serious."I pressed the button on my phone screen to redirect me back to the article. The names of the Duncan and Thompson Families were listed there, as was the name of the ignorant man at the centre of this article. I saw Nicole's name tucked in there, as well as the word fiancé," which was a blur to my eyes.Most of the comments congratulated the couple I didn't want to recognise. I couldn't read all the comments, which felt like they wer

Chris' POVI woke up with a sore head and a stiff neck. The shouting could still be heard, but I didn't want to open my eyes."Chris! What happened to you, my son?" The annoying voice came closer and finally opened my bedroom door. The sound of sobbing could also be heard as she continued to speak more softly. "Why have you become like this?"I didn't want to, but I opened my eyes reluctantly. After all, I already knew that the person babbling at me from earlier was my mother, as no one else would visit my house without any notice like she often did.The ageing woman tried to grab my hand with teary eyes, but I quickly brushed her hand away. I didn't want anyone to touch me carelessly, including my own mother. A sudden feeling of annoyance welled inside me when I saw the woman before me.Although my head still felt dizzy and the influence of alcohol was still in my bloodstream, I remembered that my mother was one of the people who had tortured Nicole a few years ago. She hated the wom

Nicole's POVI exhaled, looking at the warm coffee between my hands and its thin puff of smoke. I felt much more alive after coming out of my room.After the engagement ceremony, the next day, I quickly returned to reality, to my unfinished work and some new project offers that would benefit the company greatly, but now also felt like a double-edged sword.On the one hand I was happy, while on the other hand I felt physically tired more easily. Matthew, the man who used to be my lover, but is now my fiancé is also busy with his work so we haven't been able to meet. I missed him, but knew that he might not have time with me for a while.When someone approached me, I had just taken a sip of my coffee, tasting the right mix of thick and sweet and the warmth that washed down my throat. I set down my coffee cup with little sound.The man smiled. "I found you again, Nicole."My eyes widened in disbelief as I stared at the figure before me. I didn't expect to see an old man wearing a dull-lo

Nicole's POVI tried to control myself, but the unbearable pain in my head made me fall off the chair and hit the floor of the cafe veranda hard. I didn't feel much pain from it with my headache, but my vision seemed blurry.I stared at my vaguely shaped hand, then lifted my gaze towards the noise that was still nearby. I vaguely saw Smith dealing with another figure, pointing and opening his mouth several times.I couldn't hear what they were saying because their voices were mixed. What was clear was that the figure seemed to push the old man until he almost fell down, but the stubborn man was still able to maintain his balance and shouted back at the figure, who was still unknown."Ugh!" I groaned softly, feeling the headache I was currently feeling increase with time until I looked down again, holding on to the table leg tightly to endure the pain.Someone out of nowhere lifted me up in his arms after grabbing me from underneath, holding me in a safe position. I blinked, trying to

Nicole's POVI felt anxious as I waited for the results of all the tests I had taken. It wasn't like I was expecting to go through just one set of tests, but several tests with subtests were in each area to check my overall condition.All the tests went well, but as I went through them, the doctor's expression became more serious, and I became a little worried. He didn't say anything; he just smiled and asked me and the people accompanying me to return to the room to wait for the results.Matthew held my hand, smiling a little to calm me down, clearly displaying my emotions. "We just need to wait a little longer," he said.I nodded, knowing well, even though it couldn't ease my feelings.I had thought that my condition must not be far from fine. I'm sure I'm just tired and a little stressed out, not to mention that I haven't been getting enough rest lately and that Richard could realize it.I've also been through many complex things that aren't easy for anyone to do, but it hasn't mad

Chris' POVI exhaled, thoughts of Nicole, who I hadn't seen in a few days, weighing heavily on my mind. She seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace despite my thorough search of her usual haunts.The office where she worked daily had said that the woman had not been present for the last few days except for her secretary, who I did not ask any further questions about because I myself had been watching this office for several days.I deliberately came early every morning, wanting to meet the woman before she started work so we could go somewhere else to talk to the two of us. There were many things I wanted to ask and tell her, but the woman I wanted to talk to never showed up as usual again. I never even met his secretary, as the receptionist said.When I went to his house, the servants stopped me from going further if they said he was not at home."Miss Nicole is not here. You must leave, sir." The butler, who looked like the butler, said sternly, bowing his head polit

Chris' POV"Well, as we spoke before, Mr. Daniel," I said, extending my hand to a middle-aged man across from me.I hadn't gotten any information from Evan and had opted to meet with my company's newest partner on the food floor of a five-star hotel. He was staying with his wife, so we decided to meet here.I was doing this to make things easier and for my own benefit.The man welcomed my hand in his, smiling slightly. "My secretary will soon send the contract letter to your office, Mr. Grant.""Okay."We chatted about the project we had signed up for. I had already worked with him a few times, so I had no worries, but there were a few things we could discuss before starting the project together for the third time.It is now also the third day that I have been searching for Nicole's whereabouts, but she still hasn't shown up, and my secretary hasn't given me the latest information I requested.I knew that the Duncan Family's information security was top-notch, but I didn't want to giv

Edwin's POV"He is easy to take care of, Nicole. I'll pay him so that he won't refuse to help," I said, trying to reassure my daughter, who was still sitting reclined on her bed.Matthew and Richard had already returned after the doctor advised my son to rest first, as well as Key, who was accompanying my grandson, who was still saddened by his mother's condition. I was still here to convince her of the things that she still doubted or didn't want to do for her recovery.Nicole looked at me, shaking her head and looking disapproving. "That's not necessary, Father. I don't need that man's help, and you don't need to waste your money paying him."We were talking about the biological father of the woman I had saved from a terrible accident, Smith Martinez, from a family that had given him a horrific past. He seemed so confident even though his life was on the line, but there was no way I could let this go on because the woman's return to health was far more critical to me.Her tireless h

Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 407
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
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 406
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
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 405
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
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 404
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
