Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 253
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

Nicole's POVWe moved to a garden that was still part of the venue. There were a few people here, but not many, as everyone was scattered in small groups. The atmosphere was similar to that inside the ballroom, but it felt more spacious since it was outdoors.Matthew and I sought out a quieter spot, blending in with the hedge maze that shaped part of the garden. Finally, I could take a deep breath. "We’re finally somewhere quieter."“Sorry, I think I might have rushed you,” he said, noticing me catching my breath.I shook my head. "It’s fine."I didn’t mind following his pace at all, but what still lingered in my mind was the woman we had encountered earlier. She had openly flirted with my fiancé and probably would have continued if we hadn’t walked away.Matthew reached for my hand, gently stroking it as he looked at me, quickly distracting me from my thoughts. "When we get home, I’ll give you a nice massage," he said.I smiled, looking at the bespectacled man beside me, who now seem

Richard's POVTo me, the most important person in my life is my mother. My mother is everything to me, especially when she smiles and laughs while spending time with me. I feel happy if my mother is happy, and she feels the same way. I hate seeing her sad or silently crying when I’m already asleep.Her happiness is extraordinary to me because I’ve heard about the past she endured before I was born. I never want her to go through that again, at least not while I’m alive and by her side.My mother is the kindest, most beautiful, and strongest person I’ve ever known. Still, whenever I think of all the people who treated her horribly, it makes me furious. I hate those people who hurt my mom when she was still young and vulnerable, especially that foolish man who let her go so quickly.Mom says she’s already forgotten about that man, but knowing everything that happened in the past and how he acted when they met again makes it impossible for me to forgive him. I might even say that I hate

Richard's POVI was watching my mother, still unaware of my presence. I could see her and the bespectacled man, her companion, walking close together with their hands intertwined.Both of them waited near the cashier as they ordered drinks, but Uncle Matthew carried both drinks when they received their orders from another staff member behind the counter. They exchanged smiles and said something that made my mother shake her head and eventually give in.It seemed like they were having another pleasant conversation because my mother smiled as they walked together toward the seating area below. I sipped my drink without saying much, feeling that my mother and the uncle who often visited our house seemed quite close. This reminded me of social media content showing two people, a man and a woman, behaving similarly and calling themselves a couple.I could guess that my mother and the uncle I was watching were probably like those couples I saw on my phone. They looked sweet together, but I

Nicole's POVI was startled when I heard arguing coming from upstairs in the café where I was visiting Matthew. The child's voice and another figure that sounded familiar to my ears sounded close, and I, who was just about to sit down, had to stand back up to follow the direction of the two voices."Where are you going?" The man with glasses who had just placed our drinks on the table asked me, looking surprised.I looked at him and showed him my palm. "Wait a minute," I said.He looked like he was going to say something else, but I was already back on my feet and, within moments, saw the figure of a boy and the back of a man much taller than him. I recognized my son's face and guessed the person he was with.They were still arguing when I was a few steps away from them. Sensing that the atmosphere between the father and son was quite stressful and attracting the attention of the few people around, I took a breath and finally stepped forward to diffuse the argument."Are you guys here

Nicole's POVIn the car, I was half-listening to Matthew, who was grilling me about Richard, whom I had left with Chris. I had told my fiancé about this father-son encounter earlier, reassuring him that the man who was related to my son had kept our agreement during his several encounters with him.He should have had nothing to worry about, but I couldn't understand why she would do something like this to me when we were already halfway to the bespectacled man's meeting place with his business partner."You don't have to think about it too much, Matthew." I finally said, looking at the man who finished his words when I spoke. "We're going to spend time together while Richard is already scheduled to spend time with that man. Just leave them and us to our own business."The man still didn't say anything as the car drove on until we finally arrived at a red light. He looked at me, smiling slightly, but he had a bad feeling on his face."Well, you're right, Nicole. I'm sorry."I didn't an

Nicole's POVI looked at Matthew, who couldn't answer my question right away. He was silent, his mouth clamped shut, but with a troubled look behind the glasses he wore, I was sure that my question was the unspoken truth between us.I snorted, then quickly stepped away to leave him. I couldn't believe she could lie to me like that. Even though it was trivial, I couldn't appreciate his actions that seemed to have fooled me for his own interests. I didn't think he was that kind of man."Nicole." He called my name at the same time as his hand held mine until my steps stopped in place. I didn't turn around, hearing his following words to me. "Sorry, you already know... I lied to you but did that because I still wanted to spend time with you."I turned my head, looking at him sharply and not mincing words. "I don't like what you did, Matthew. You've embarrassed me just the same."I still remember the laughter of the two men who looked familiar, while I felt like a fool for not knowing what

Chris' POVA few days ago, I discovered that Nicole was not Smith's biological daughter. Not only that, she turned out to be a child taken in from the streets. After that, I felt restless.I was driving alone when I happened to see the guy with the damn glasses in his car. He didn't see me, but I could see him focusing on the road, and I unconsciously followed him. The man drove through this road outside the city as smoothly as he had passed it several times before.We finally arrived at a cemetery. I stopped pretty far away from him but kept an eye on where the car of the man I disliked and the figure in it, who finally walked out of the car with a wreath in hand.His actions astonished me as he walked languidly toward the row of graves that lay before him. I walked after her, far enough away that she wouldn't realise that I was behind and watching her."What is she doing here?"I knew that he was obviously here to visit, but what for? And who was he visiting that she could stare at

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
