Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 224
Nicole's POVAfter a while, my father said goodbye to take care of a few things while finding out about the information he had told me. He ignored the other figure who had been with us since earlier, but I couldn't do the same.When the door to the room closed, I looked at Chris, who was still silent, and finally said to him. "Why are you still there? Don't you realize that your presence here is completely unwanted?""I know, but I can't leave you."He looked at me intently, then walked over to me. I stared back at him, trying to keep myself brave and not back down in front of him, ignoring the fact that we almost did something I didn't want to happen before my father entered this room.The man stopped walking and paused right next to my bed, between which was the IV pole I was using.He seemed to smile slightly as he looked at me more closely. "I am glad that you have found your real father, Nicole. Mr. Edwin will be a good father to you.""What are you saying?" I frowned, staring at

Nicole's POVFor the past two days, I have not wanted to see Chris at all. My father had prepared several bodyguards to guard me while I was alone, standing guard at the door of my hospital room so that the man I didn't want to see wouldn't have a chance to break in.That had already happened this morning, where a bodyguard did his best to hold back the breakthrough of the man who was also very stubborn. It took some time for the man to be wholly driven away and not make any more noise in front of my room, but I also knew that it hadn't made him give up just yet.I clenched my fists tightly, remembering what he said the last time we met. His gaze was fixed on me then, and his furrowed brow told me that his words needed to be considered."I care about the little boy, Nicole. He is my son, and I know that he is not someone who should be involved in this revenge business that you want to take on me. The child is still small."I fell silent, feeling the man's words as if he was both stabb

Nicole's POVMy bed was pushed quite slowly and cautiously, following the bed occupied by my father, who had driven off first. The ceiling of the hospital hallway was the center of my gaze as my bed moved, accompanied by several nurses who were on duty to assist me.As I was about to enter the operating room, I saw Matthew waiting at the entrance. I involuntarily smiled when I met his gaze, feeling that he was giving me the strength I sought when some worries overwhelmed me.Be it the surgery, my father, and Richard. I missed my son a little after the video call we had before I was about to undergo surgery. He was still small. Hence, it wasn't easy to accompany me, but his presence would give me more peace of mind.My fiancé greeted me warmly while holding my bedrails, unable to touch me directly as my entire body needed to be sterile before the surgery. "Everything will be fine, Nicole. Your father came in a few minutes ago.""Thank you, Matthew." I just looked at him intently, which

Chris' POVI already knew that Nicole's surgery was successful. She had also regained consciousness and could be visited by her family members from the information I had gotten from one of my confidants.I knew that this was not the end of her treatment. She still had to recover, and the team of doctors in charge of her had to monitor the progress of her condition during her treatment and ensure that there were no side effects from the surgery and the spinal cord obtained from her father.All things take time, including the woman's health, which was initially said to be poor.I sighed, massaging my forehead, which had previously been deeply furrowed, as I waited for news from that woman. I felt pretty happy with the news I had gotten about that woman, even though meeting her was pretty tricky.In the end, I looked for another way that didn't involve myself indirectly but still made my presence known to that woman"Sir, I'm not sure this is a good idea." My secretary spoke on the phone

Chris’ POVI already knew that something like this would happen even though it wasn't me who came, but it still made my heart ache with his rejection. I sighed, asking the man who contacted me again."Did you say that the bouquet of flowers was just a reward for Nicole's successful surgery?"She must have received some other bouquet of flowers or congratulations if her father had announced this, but I was indeed the only person outside the Duncan Family who knew of this happy event. I just felt happy for her, but it seemed like she didn't even want to accept this simple thing.Evan sounded frustrated. "You already know who I have to deal with here to deliver this bouquet safely, right, sir? Please understand."The man started complaining, saying some of the things he had to deal with before even reaching Nicole's bedroom door. There were several staff who were twice her size, with intimidating faces. He was sweating even though the hospital hallway was quite cold.What she was facing

Key's POVThe situation of the Duncan household these days was ominous, even dark, reminding me of the time when Miss Natalie passed away a few years ago and when Mr. Big had a hardened expression to bear the sadness of the loss he had to go through.The only difference between the two events was that Miss Nicole had a much better fate than the previous Miss. Even so, some of the staff and servants working at the residence were clearly affected by the Great Master's mood and worried about our current Miss.But in the end, the things that some people who had served the Duncan Family for a long time were worried about did not happen. Miss Nicole came through the surgery safely and soundly, improving the house's mood."Mom is better after the surgery, right, Key?" Richard asked me, and I immediately nodded."Yes, Young Master. The Great Master himself broke the news to you."I still remember Great Master's voice, which sounded so relieved and calm when he delivered the news after he had

Key's POV"Are you sure I should say what your master said to my miss?" I asked the man, still holding his bouquet of flowers. "Your master has already caused trouble several times, so Miss will definitely be happier if she doesn't hear any words from him."He paused, seemingly absorbing my words. I don't know if this man also has a relationship with Miss or not because, from what I know, he has also been serving the man who troubled Miss our family for a long time. Our two masters were related in the past, so that man should also know my Miss, but I wasn't sure.The man looked back at me and finally spoke. "I don't know, but I'm just here to carry orders from my master.""I'm the same." I immediately responded to the man's words, looking at him more sharply. "I hope you can accept that I won't convey or give this item you brought to Nonaku. I'll be excused."This time, he did not stop me like before, but I still felt unsatisfied because I knew that his master would definitely find an

Key's Point of View"Say that more clearly."I heard the distressed-looking voice of the Great Lord and saw his gloomy face. I don't know what the respected man was thinking. Still, if what the informant said was true, then the security of the Duncan Family's home had been successfully infiltrated by someone in power that the internal authorities were unaware of.This is evidenced by an ordinary servant who easily infiltrated, gained the trust of the head of the family as well as his wife, but then betrayed it by kidnapping a child whose whereabouts were unknown.The informant cleared his throat, looking a little intimidated by the head of the family, although his voice did not say so. "Mary worked with the Armstrong Family, sir. She was one of the workers there and then transferred here as a servant without anyone knowing."I was a little surprised to hear such an almost taboo family name. They were one of the wealthiest families in the next town over, but they had also been enemies

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

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

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
