Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 209
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 212
Edwin's POVI was already outside Nicole's room, letting the young woman continue her rest without interruption. She was already looking better after the initial treatment given but still needed to make good use of the time for her condition to improve.I reached for my cell phone, dialing one of my confidants. "Dean, take Smith Martinez to the hospital downtown immediately."I disconnected the phone after saying what I needed to, staring at the view outside the hospital from the window with a sharp gaze. I tightened my grip on my phone for a moment but then threw it away.Seeing Nicole like this, I was reminded of the time when my daughter had been sickly in the past, and she had finally gone to join her mother. Losing Natalie at that time was devastating to me, who was a single parent and a husband who lost his wife within a short distance.By meeting the young woman, I felt that my status as a father was restored, as well as my grandchildren calling me grandfather. I didn't want to
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 213
Edwin's POVI was surprised by what the doctor said. Nicole had confessed from the beginning that she was the daughter of the Martinez family, and I had also checked her background after rescuing the young woman. Still, I had no idea about the results that would come out of the examination between the biological father and daughter."Is that right?" I asked, looking at the doctor representing the pre-surgery test result statement.He nodded. "That's right, sir. We've confirmed that all the tests went according to procedure, and there should be no errors regarding the results."I didn't say anything for a while, still shocked and wondering how a parent and child from the same family could have different DNA. It was an impossible and improbable thing.The young woman listening to the team of doctors on her bed also looked shocked. Her face looked like she had just been slapped by reality, and she was obviously new to this fact, just as I was not.There had never been any discussion abou
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 214
Nicole's POVMy body was still relatively weak from the tests, but Chris's words made me force myself to speak. He was looking at my father too boldly and always trying to get involved in my business and family."Stop interfering, Chris." I took a breath and licked my dry lips, my throat sore. "You were never invited to join this conversation."The man shook his head, turning to stare at me intently. "I had to intervene, Nicole. You always worry me so much that I have no other choice.""Nonsense."I was tired. I had kicked him out so many times and told him I didn't want him by my side, but he always had a way of coming back and finding me that it became suffocating.I'd never seen him actually worry about me at all. He just pushed himself, over and over again, at me. Even though I tried to put some distance between us, he completely ignored it because he hadn't reached his goal yet.He didn't respect me, but I had nothing else to do or say to get him out of my way."I've been looking
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 215
Nicole's POVI felt baffled about what was happening. Even though I never had a good relationship with Smith and he never cared about me, the fact that I wasn't his daughter broke me.I had long expected his affection, especially since my mother always paid attention to me and said that he was just too busy with his work, but he never did what she said every time I asked, and I felt terrible about what he did.He would gaze lovingly at my mom, give kisses and hugs, and then lose interest when his attention turned to me.After my mother passed away, what she did to me became even worse, coupled with the two women who also made me suffer even more, without anyone to defend me.I bit my lip, looking down while muttering to myself. "So, he already knew everything back then."He once said that he had something important to tell me when he admitted that he found out about me using a DNA test, but back then, I was so determined to get rid of him, and thanks to the help Matthew and my family
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 216
Nicole's POVMy newly arrived fiancée spoke again when she saw Chris. "Why is this man here? Isn't all the information covered up?"Although that man didn't visit the hospital often with all his work, he did keep up with all the developments. I looked at the man breathing heavily, looking like he had just run."True, but it looks like he managed to break through the defenses," Edwin answered the bespectacled man's question and looked at the man who hadn't said anything for a while.Matthew controlled his breathing, fixing his gaze on me again before going to my father. "That's not the case. Mr. Duncan, I heard this man say Smith Martinez is not my fiancée's biological father. Is that true?""It's true...." I answered in place of my father.The bespectacled man looked at me, seemed to be thinking about various things at a swift pace, and seemed to be coming to a conclusion. He walked closer to me and took my palm lightly.His gaze was fixed on me with a determined look. "I can give you
