Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 246
Matthew's POVI looked at Nicole, who was fast asleep beside me, wearing the blanket we had shared earlier. I could see the reddish marks I left while exploring her body, around her slender neck and shoulders, as well as her lips that still looked moist.I rubbed her head gently before finally getting up slowly so as not to wake her. I had somewhere to be for a moment.A shot glass was already in my hand, with only a small amount of colourless alcohol left in it. I put the small glass down as I exhaled, enjoying my time to catch my breath without anyone around me.That was the plan initially, but someone suddenly approached me and stopped beside the empty seat. She sounded shy as she greeted me."Hi. ...."I glanced at her without turning my head, seeing a woman in a sexy beach outfit with a sweet smile and showing a friendly impression of me. We were obviously meeting for the first time, but I knew what women like her were thinking, wanting to approach me with bad intentions.At the

Nicole's POV"Oh, I didn't expect something like this to be here," I said, adjusting my mask.My fiancé nodded. "Yes, it's quite fascinating, isn’t it?"We were now at a festival filled with people, all wearing masks of various shapes that covered parts or all of their faces. It felt like a masquerade party, but the difference was that our outfits were more casual, reflecting individual styles.“This is fun. This way, no one will recognize us here,” I smiled, looking at him as he glanced back at me. "We can move around more freely… Did you plan all of this before we came for the vacation?"He shook his head. "No, I just happened to remember about the festival when we were on our way. It’s a nice place, right? Especially with our house not far from here."I nodded. At first, I thought we’d spend our vacation mostly in his spacious holiday house or occasionally playing by the water and sand at the beach, just like a busy couple finally getting a rare chance to relax. But something else

Nicole's POVMaybe life is a joke deliberately thrown at me or a curse that keeps repeating with no end. Or perhaps the man sitting calmly next to me is just a stalker.I had yet to learn how he managed to find me here. This vacation wasn't even planned, and within less than a day, Matthew and I were already on our way. It seemed only possible for him to know my whereabouts if he had been following me from the beginning."Why are you here?" I asked, giving him a sharp, disapproving look.He seemed surprised, straightening up and pointing at himself. "Can you recognize me even with this mask? Impressive."I fell silent, realizing I had made a mistake by asking him that. I had forgotten he was wearing a mask and hadn’t spoken a word since sitting down. My only clue was his eyes, which would be hard for anyone else to recognize, but not for me.I grew frustrated at the realization. After all, I’ve known him for years, and that fact couldn’t be erased. But I shouldn’t have asked—I should

Nicole's POV“Mom!” Richard greeted me enthusiastically as soon as I returned from vacation. He seemed so excited that he ran over to me. We hugged for a moment before walking hand in hand toward the house. I glanced at him, my cheerful little boy smiling back at me. “I brought you some souvenirs, Richard,” I said, showing him my shopping bags. “Wow, what’s in here, Mom?” he asked, taking the bag and looking up at me. I smiled, gently brushing his hair. “You can open it later.” “I got you a souvenir too, Richard,” Matthew said, stepping out behind me. Richard turned toward him, seemingly just now noticing the man in glasses who had been with us the whole time. He smiled and accepted the shopping bag my fiancé handed him. “Thanks, Uncle. I like getting lots of gifts,” he said, looking at us both briefly before letting go of my hand and walking ahead. I glanced at Matthew, who looked slightly disappointed by my son’s reaction but then turned to me. I smiled to reassure h

Nicole's POV“Nicole?” I heard my father call, bringing me back to reality. I looked at him again, offering an awkward smile since my mind was still scattered by his words about Richard and that man who seemed to cause trouble once again. “Yes, Dad?” “Were you listening to me?” I nodded. I still couldn’t believe my son was continuing the plan we once discussed, which I later stopped to keep him from doing something dangerous on his own. Even though my son had assured me that no one would ever learn about his actions, I couldn’t allow such behaviour to become a habit, especially for someone as smart as him. He had a future ahead of him, and I couldn’t let him ruin it by guiding him toward the wrong path. However, aside from my son, the other thing on my mind was the man—Chris. I was surprised to learn that someone as reckless as him could remain mature in front of my son when he usually acted the opposite toward everyone around him, especially me and my fiancé. My father wa

Nicole's POVI stared at Richard, who still hadn’t answered, his head bowed to avoid looking directly at me. Gently, I touched his chin and lifted it slowly so our eyes could meet again. “Will you still go through with your plan even after I’ve spoken to you like this?” I asked. After a moment, he finally shook his head. Confusedly, He looked at me. “How did you know about my plan? I didn’t tell anyone, not even Grandpa or Key.” I let out a quiet sigh, softly stroking his hair before cupping his cheeks, my gaze still full of concern. I felt relieved that he had admitted his plan to me before meeting with that man, but my suspicions about his intentions had been correct. “I’m your mother, Richard. I carried you, gave birth to you, and raised you before the servants, Grandpa, and Key helped take care of you. Of course I know.” He held my hands on his face, gently pulling them away as he spoke, his gaze fixed on them. “I just wanted to cause a little trouble at his company, Mom

Nicole's POVA month had passed, and the relationship between my son and that man had progressed quite well. Today was the fourth time they would meet and spend time together without me being there.During their first meeting, my son admitted that he still disliked the man who had caused so much trouble and chaos in our lives. But over time, as their routine encounters continued, he tolerated everything that had happened."His robots are of much better quality than before, Mom," my son mentioned as I visited him in his room after work.I nodded. "Are you talking about the robots you criticized in front of him?""Yeah. It seems like he really took my suggestions seriously and used them well." He snickered softly. "Of course, it worked because I experimented with the staff a lot."I smiled and gently ruffled his hair, praising him.Besides conversations like this, my son never shared any positive impressions of their meetings. But after the second meeting and beyond, he stopped speaking

Nicole's POVI walked into the event with Matthew. We had arrived at a party attended by several other businesspeople, instantly drawing the attention of many guests in the grand ballroom.I could hear whispers as we moved deeper into the room, but I pretended not to notice and kept walking. It seemed like it was the first time many had seen me in person, though some had seen me at other events but never interacted with me."Is that Nicole Duncan?" someone whispered quietly, and their companion nodded in response.The woman who had been asked slightly turned her back as I passed, but I overheard her mentioning the man who had spent time with my son and my fiancé, who was now walking beside me. "She's beautiful, but…"I didn’t hear the rest as we moved too far away. I sighed softly, realizing there was no point in eavesdropping further. People who gossip like that rarely confront you directly.There were too many people here to be sure who was talking about me, so I decided to focus o

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
