Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 264
Nicole's POV“That man gave you this and then left?” I asked, glancing at the chocolate cake visible through the top of the box and then at Key, who was still holding it. My assistant nodded. “He wanted to give this to you and the young master, Miss.” “I don’t want it. Throw it away,” I said without a second thought. I didn’t know what that selfish man was thinking by buying such a large chocolate cake for me and my son. Yes, I liked the flavor, and so did Richard, but there was no way I could accept his gift, especially not at this time. Key was about to leave, but suddenly, my son came in, walking through my open door and approaching us curiously. His eyes were fixated on the box Key was holding. “What’s that, Key?” “Ah, Young Master—” I tried to stop Richard, already knowing what he was about to do, but he had already grabbed the cake box and placed it on the nearest table. He opened the box, revealing a whole chocolate cake that looked delicious and smelled amazing.

Nicole's POVI had just returned from the office. After undergoing intensive care a month ago, my father adjusted my workload to be lighter than before. He claimed it was necessary to prevent a similar incident from happening again.Though I felt somewhat reluctant, I also felt guilty toward the old man. He continued to do things for me despite not being fully recovered from his own condition. He still needed to use a walking aid, and one or two servants would accompany him to avoid any unwanted accidents.When he sat down or stood up, I could see my father’s effort not to appear weak, even when it was just Richard and me around. My son noticed this, too, as he often spent time with his grandfather during his free moments, while I could only watch without saying a word.What I’m going through right now is nothing compared to what my father is dealing with. He, who has lived much longer than me, continues pushing himself as much as possible, so it would feel wrong for me to complain an

Julia's POV"That woman... she's so annoying," I muttered, leaning back in the seat of my car and staring out the window.I excused myself from the party early, unable to stand the small talk any longer, especially with that woman’s presence. Besides, I had already found something interesting about the woman Madam Selena had been praising. The woman, Nicole, might have been hospitalized some time ago. This caused the Duncan family to become quite busy, and at the same time, Chris—the man who had captured my heart for a long time—was constantly trying to visit her. The security staff of that pretentious woman's family had turned him away several times, but eventually, my beloved managed to find a way in. Of course, being the only woman who truly knows about Chris’s life, I know we share something in common. He has tried every possible way to get close to that ungrateful woman. Still, from the tone and expressions I’ve overheard firsthand, I know his efforts haven't fully paid off y

Nicole's POVI was thinking about the woman I accidentally met. Although her words were sweet and polite, I could sense something different in her demeanour, even though it was our first time meeting.Just like I felt toward her, she seemed not to like me either. She only agreed with whatever Madam Selena, who accompanied me during the conversation, said. If it weren’t for the middle-aged woman, I might have been cornered because I didn’t know her, unlike her, who seemed to know more about me."...perhaps Miss Nicole is receiving medical care." The woman said, with a meaningful glance at me, before turning to feign ignorance to the middle-aged woman acting as our mediator.From her words, it seemed she knew that I had recently undergone surgery. But how could that be? My father had always kept everything about our family well hidden, so it was impossible for information about my hospital treatment to leak out.Unless... I paused momentarily, pursing my lips and frowning slightly as a

Nicole's POVThis morning I am meeting with an important person from a foreign company. I am already prepared in a room located in the same building as our meeting, along with Key, who will accompany me during this meeting.I spoke to my assistant. “Is everything ready?”“Yes, Miss Nicole. Mr. Martin Kayle from Country Northam has already arrived.”I nodded, exhaling to calm my slightly nervous self. “Alright, we need to conduct this meeting well. This collaboration will be very important for the development of our company in the international market.”“You can feel at ease, Miss. You are excellent at handling matters like this,” the young man spoke confidently, especially towards me. “If Mr. Martin refuses the collaboration between his represented company and one of the Duncan family companies, he will be the one to suffer the loss.”I glanced at Key, watching him as he seemed to speak sincerely yet remained respectfully bowed towards me. His words were exaggerated, but I couldn’t de

Nicole's POVI stared back at the man even with the things I felt, not wanting to show it in the slightest, as I said. "Do you want to steal what I have again?""Steal? Again?" The man asked in astonishment, touching my cheek until I couldn't move away from him. "The only thing I want to steal from you is your heart."I paused, feeling my heartwarming beyond my control. "Stop talking like that. I'm not in the mood to play games with you, Chris.""I never play games. What I'm doing to you is real." He said, making me hold my breath for a moment. The daylight slid down my cheeks slowly, making stroking motions. "What are you doing here?"I backed away, trying to remove his hand, but he stubbornly kept it. I gave him a sharp glare. "You heard earlier. I'm here because Mr. Martin contacted me for cooperation.""Our cooperation, right?" He reminded, walking closer while I stepped back until I was cornered to the only door in this room. "You can't not include me in your company deal."I gla

Nicole's POVWe were in one of the boutiques, taking care of the wedding dresses and suits we were going to wear for the wedding. Someone touched my hand, leaning on the counter and looking at me from behind his glasses."What do you think, Nicole?" He asked.I blinked, only really looking at him after a moment. "Huh? What are you talking about, Matthew?"The man exhaled, seemingly understanding that my mind had been wandering. I tried to refocus on the table in front of us with one of the people in charge of our outfits and the displayed half-finished dresses.I looked at the man who was smiling at me. "You really like the color pink, don't you? At the reception, you can change the dress to this. It will definitely match."I didn't say anything in reply; I just returned my gaze to the dress again, and then the jewelry juxtaposed next to it. Two dangling earrings looked thin and sparkling white in color, which I believed were made of white gold.Matthew noticed my gaze, swiftly liftin

Chris' POV"What are you doing?" I asked, looking at Richard, who was busy caring for one of his robots.It was one of his newest robots because he was paying close attention to the motion sensors and the robot's response when a simple command came from the boy's mouth or the controller.He didn't answer at all, so I asked him, "Are you making your robot more perfect?""No."I stared at the boy with a sharp voice, but he finally responded to my words. "Then, what are you doing if not that, especially when your robot is involved?""I should be the one to ask you that, sir." He shook his head as if he couldn't understand what I was doing. "I know that you want to get my mom back."I smiled, not expecting that the boy would guess my true purpose faster than his own mother. I wanted to bond with my son, namely him, like a real father and son, but Nicole was my priority.I can't imagine the woman I'm so compatible with falling into the arms of another man; just hearing about her engagement

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
