Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 267
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

Matthew's POV"You're going to get married soon, I'm thrilled, Matthew." My father spoke.We were in his study at home. My father's face looked genuinely happy, so I hardly found him profound whenever we were just talking about business or work.I also disliked his tone, as if he had won something big. In fact, his attitude when dealing with Nicole was not like this.The man exhaled. "Your marriage will be very good for our family. Our family's position will become stronger, and we will no longer be considered a money-granting institution.""Our family is strong even without the Duncan name, Father." I denied his words.My father shook his head with a smile. "Don't be naive, Matthew. Besides, you don't have to feel that way because I know what you think about this marriage."I paused, not sure what he was talking about at the moment, but I knew that the things he knew might harm me more than himself, so I shouldn't misbehave."Dad...." I sighed, not knowing what to start talking about

Nicoles's POV"Don't you have anywhere else to drink tea?" I asked the annoying figure who casually drank the tea and put it back down, looking at me without saying anything for a while.He finally shook his head. "No, there isn't. It's nice here, and I also have an appointment with Richard today."I sighed, looking the other way so as not to have to look at the face of the man who always annoyed me. Again, he came to our house and forced me to meet following a father-son meeting that shouldn't have involved me.We were in the garden inside the house with a circular table set up with three pairs of chairs. Two glasses of hot chocolate and a tea had been placed in front of each of us since earlier. The tantalizing aroma of the drinks helped me calm down.My father was away on business, while Richard was the reason I could be here with the man I hated."Mom, don't get too upset at that stupid man, " my son said between the cups of warm chocolate he held, drinking a little at a time.

Nicole's POVI had just finished my business and was about to head home. I was left alone, so I had to head to the parking lot to get my car. As I was walking, I stopped my steps when I saw a woman who looked like she was about to approach me.She also stopped after we had stood facing each other. I remembered her as Julia Dorris, the woman who hated me even though we had met just a few days ago.She looked at me, giving me a smile that wasn't too sincere. "Hi, Miss Nicole. I heard you're getting married to Mr. Matthew soon.""Yes, that's right," I replied simply, not knowing why she would ask such a question when we had just met again.Her smile seemed a little more genuine, but the look in her eyes was still unconvincing. "Congratulations on your wedding, which will happen in a few days, Miss Nicole. I am happy for you.""Thank you-" I was just about to welcome her outstretched hand, but the woman deliberately lowered her hand again.She seemed a little threatening to me with a shar
