Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 233
Nicole's POVI felt so happy when I arrived in my room. It had only been a few days, but I was already feeling very bored from spending time in the hospital, undergoing tests, eating food that tasted too healthy, and being confined to my room for most of my time there.I couldn't even go anywhere alone, having to be accompanied by a nurse or one of the staff my father had prepared. I knew it was for safety, but I didn't feel free and was forced to stay in my room all the time."That's nice," I muttered under my breath, opening the veranda of my room until the breeze entered the interior and the sunlight was still relatively bright.I didn't mind the hot light and enjoyed it. I stayed on the guardrail for a while while closing my eyes to enjoy the fresh breeze free from the typical antiseptic smell of the hospital.Richard also accompanied me into the room, carefully pushing my wheelchair. I felt fortunate to have a family like him.He touched my shoulder lightly. "Do you like being ba

Nicole's POVFor almost two weeks now, I've been in much better health and no longer have to use a wheelchair. I could walk smoothly without feeling as unsteady as before and run around the garden at my house for a few laps without my breathing feeling too heavy.Richard and my father seemed satisfied with my recovery, so I could now come to my office as usual.Not many people knew that I had recently had surgery other than my secretary at the office. It was my father who told her and assigned her as my health supervisor while I was working so that I wouldn't overdo my work and fall ill like before.I felt somewhat disturbed that my work seemed to be restricted, but I also realized that something like that needed to be done to better control myself and prevent what had happened a second time. After all, that secretary of mine had already rescheduled all the deals and cooperation agreements that would be done before I had the surgery.But, that woman still didn't seem to be able to acc

Nicole's POVWe were sitting across from each other in my office. I was forced to go inside and tell the security staff that it was okay for the man following me to walk in with me, as well as Lona, who had looked uneasy a moment ago when she left me alone.I had no choice, as I didn't want to make my encounter with the man sitting across from me feel too familiar by moving to the café or the coffee stand on the first floor of this office building. After all, I only wanted to talk to him briefly.My gaze shifted to the man's face, which looked relaxed even though I had been surprised when I readily accepted his invitation. There was no drink I asked him to serve, so he just folded his arms across his chest and leaned back, looking at me without saying anything.I knew he had a hard time giving in even though my father had issued orders for him not to see me. However, I still didn't know if he was just too brave or if he no longer cared about his image as a businessman with the calm an

Nicole's POV"What did you say?" I snorted loudly to stifle my sarcastic laughter at her words. "Richard is my son!"The man stared at me, completely unfazed by my glare or sharp words. "I want to be involved in raising our son, Nicole. You do know that the role of a father is vital for a young child's development, right? He's only eight years old."He began to explain, sharing some of the research he had gathered on his own and from his men on the subject he was talking about. He said that if only one parent accompanies a child's growth and development, then the child could lack things that the responsible parent cannot provide.Whether the father or mother is absent will affect the child's life when he grows up. I don't know where she got the information from, but she also mentioned my son's arguably unnatural genius and felt that I must have had trouble handling him alone all this time.I clenched my fists tightly, unable to say anything. The man could see my reaction and replied i

Nicole's POVI felt furious at the two men who seemed to be arguing in front of me. It wasn't enough to have that annoying guy around, but my fiancé, who I had thought could hold his temper well, was still provoked by the nonsense the other guy was saying.Both of them knew that I had recently been allowed to return to work, but they still did the same thing they had done several times before, arguing and exchanging words that absolutely shouldn't be spoken so immaturely.I didn't feel sick or dizzy, but they were really making me feel claustrophobic with the commotion they both caused, as well as depressed with the pile of negative emotions that were in the conversation of the two men before me."Stop it! Both of you!" I said in a slightly raised tone to overpower their voices that were louder than mine, but my fiancé just happened to grip his opponent's shirt collar tightly.The brownish-green-eyed man's gaze was only fixed on Matthew, who seemed to be gritting his teeth. They obvio

Nicole's POVI was home in a few minutes, quickly stepping out of the car and walking through my open fence. They've already interrupted my precious work time and caused a mess in my office space that I can't even name. Until I'm calmer, I won't let any of them see me, not even my own fiancé.I was just thinking that, but someone suddenly grabbed my wrist so tightly that I couldn't immediately break free. I turned around, about to warn whoever touched me for no apparent reason, but just then, I came face to face with the bespectacled man who still looked bruised with his bruises.His face looked panicked, and he looked at me, who was already staring at him with a cold gaze. I was a little surprised that this man in front of me could chase after me, but I covered that up nicely. After all, he clearly realized he had done me wrong when I saw his gaze."Nicole, I'm sorry. I've ruined your day at the office, but please don't leave me." The man slightly tightened his grip on my hand, look

Nicole's POV"You still don't want to see Matthew, Nicole?" my father asked, looking at me as he was about to walk past me. "He didn't say he was looking for you, but I've seen him watching your room from outside a few times."I looked at my father, already knowing what he was discussing first but not wanting to. "I still need my rest, Father.""Hm, is that so?" the man muttered under his breath. "I already know what happened between you. I think it would be best if you talked about this further, Nicole."I didn't immediately respond to my father, who had suggested something for my relationship with Matthew for the umpteenth time. I didn't really want my father to know about our problems because I knew it would eventually come out, but my fiancé wasn't fully following our verbal agreement.It had been two days since he came to my house under the pretense of a casual visit. Perhaps my father was surprised that we hadn't met at all at such a time. Either I welcomed him first, or my fian

Nicole's POVI watched the red wine in the glass, moving my wrist slowly until the alcoholic beverage swirled from within. The dark red color enticed me to keep staring at the liquid, and the fragrance was quite intoxicating.Someone suddenly approached me and knocked on the table near my vantage point, but my gaze was still fixed on the wine glass I held. He sounded unconcerned when he spoke to me. "Ah, I am so glad to see you here, Miss Nicole. You have been absent for so long that I wondered if something had happened to you."I finally turned my head, hearing her familiar voice. She looked next to me with a smile. Madam Selena, who still looked elegant from the way she carried herself and the dress she wore, winked while returning my smile."I'm sorry I couldn't come, Madam Selena, but since you kept sending me invitations all this time, I also tried to come to this party," I said, taking her hand after putting down my glass. "Unfortunately, I can only drop by briefly at your party

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
