Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 277
Nicole's Point of View"I was just talking to Miss Nicole, there's no need for that, son." She looked at me with a smile and then at her son again. "Do you two have an appointment?"Matthew nodded, still holding my hand tightly. "Yes. If you'll excuse us, Father."I saw Benny nod in our direction, not saying anything else when he saw his son had turned around and was carrying me behind him. I could sense that he was in a hurry, striding past his father's room into the spacious corridor of his house.My legs began to struggle to keep up, almost falling over, but he didn't notice. If it continued like this, I might actually fall and feel unwanted pain.I grabbed the man's hand, holding me with my other hand, squeezing it as hard as possible to get his attention. "Stop, Matthew.""What's wrong, Nicole?" He asked, finally stopping to walk and look at me. His breathing seemed ragged, just like mine, but I didn't really care for the moment.I looked at her a little sharply, annoyed and tire
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 278
Nicole's POVMatthew was a good man. He wasn't someone I knew recently, but a fantastic man who brought positive things into my life.His cheerfulness at the time made me happy, especially with all the care and concern he had for me. However, the longer our relationship continued, the harder it seemed to get.I looked at the man, who was breathing slowly. "I have no intention of being pushy, Nicole... I just want us to talk about this together."I shook my head. "You don't sound like you're talking to me. You're persuading me."If he really wanted to talk, he would have engaged me in a real conversation instead of talking about all his ideas to my face when I assumed that we were just dating and having fun, especially after my annoying conversation when I was already feeling tired.I felt an unpleasant feeling in my heart, especially when he suggested our move back to Aden City and the possibility that Richard would be left here because of his desire to be with only me. From his words
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 279
Nicole's POVWe stared at each other with our chests rising and falling together. Our conversation from earlier had really affected us in a very different way from the relationship between me and the bespectacled man so far.The atmosphere between us was still heated, and I was still angry. He also looked unreceptive.The man looked at me. "That can't happen. We've already arranged everything. Even the ring that was late in the planning is ready for us to check tomorrow."I knew that the worst thing would be to end our engagement and our marriage, which was almost on the horizon, but even his words were too much. I couldn't deny that I hadn't done anything to prepare for our wedding, but he had willingly prepared everything.I felt relieved and guilty at the time, but now I can let it go since there are no strings attached. It's just that he had this risky conversation first."Then you shouldn't have done something like this in the first place, Matthew." I took a breath, trying to cal

Nicole's POVI was surprised by what Chris said. My gaze was unconsciously directed at the man who had guessed exactly what I felt, but I ignored him and dismissed his words."Nothing happened," I said flatly.The man didn't respond to my words again or turn to anything else but continued to watch me. I walked past him, not wanting to speak, and went straight into the room. I let the man play with my son.I had dinner with my father and Richard. The three of us, without anyone else I thought would insist on coming along. Before long, my father asked me. "How are your wedding preparations with Matthew going, Nicole?""The preparations are fine, Father. It's just finalizing it, which won't take long." I explained, but my gaze was still on the plate serving my dinner.He sounded reassured when he asked me again. "Really?""Yes, Father." After shovelling the food into my mouth and swallowing it, I finally looked at my father. "Mr. Benny is pleased with me becoming his future son-in-law."

Matthew's POVInside that dark room, the pressure was palpable. I stood there, staring at someone sitting in his work chair with an annoying expression.I frowned, looking at him, who still seemed unfazed by my annoyed expression. "You shouldn't be doing things like that, talking to that woman when I'm not with you," I said.The man who was much older than me spoke up. "What's wrong? Nothing happened, right?" He raised an eyebrow without a drop of guilt.I held my breath, trying to remain calm even though I desperately wanted to put most of my common sense into his mind, which was overflowing with confidence and optimism, without caring about the other repercussions that could come from his actions.The problem was that not only she but also me and our family, who weren't even involved in this, would be carried away."That's just going to make him suspicious. Father also knows that a marriage between us will also happen soon." I took a deep breath. "Please don't do anything like that
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 282
Chris' POVI was facing Evan. He was visibly distressed by me sitting across from him, while he stood near my desk.The sound of the paper I was turning over from the document I was reading made him wince, but I also knew that it was caused by the sound of the paper sounding clear and sharp in this quiet room.I was still staring at the document in my hand as I spoke to her. "So, this is all the data you managed to obtain?""Yes, sir." The man spoke. "Our company once cooperated with the Armstrong Family, in terms of business, but that cooperation did not last long because their family did not make enough profit by utilizing most of our company's resources."I nodded, able to understand my secretary's explanation. "So, how are the wedding preparations going between them.""As for that... it's about eighty percent toward completion, sir." He checked the tablet he was carrying from her paused voice. "I have seen the bride and groom's rings, especially Miss Nicole's, so well made that I

Chris' POVI heard the sound of someone opening the door and put down the cell phone I had been looking at to waste time looking at the person who had just arrived. "You finally came."The man was Ezrah. He was wearing sunglasses, but then took them off and placed them on the table and sat down opposite me. We were in a private room somewhere in the city. Only a select few people knew about this place, including me and the man who was looking at me in surprise."You don't usually address me directly, like this, sir." He said with a slightly wrinkled forehead suspiciously. "Usually you prefer to give orders from Evan or your other cell phone."I nodded. "There's something I need in person, to confirm something I've been investigating lately."This man in front of me was an informant I had been working with for three years. Not too long, but also not a short time for a paid informant like him. I recognized Ezrah's great ability at a younger age than me.Comparatively, he was close in ag
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 284
Chris' POVI remembered what Julia had said about the woman whose name I no longer wanted to hear, but every time that spoiled woman mentioned it, I was reminded of the mistake I had made with Nicole.I certainly would never take the woman I love to the woman who ruined our relationship, as well as the bad times we had separately. She was probably alone, while I had to deal with the woman I never loved and my nagging mother.I still felt terrible and resentful that I was still affected by that spoiled woman's words, even though I knew it shouldn't be like that. I didn't have to think about the woman who had already served her time in prison, but it still made me uneasy not knowing what was going on with them so that they could talk to each other.Adeline was one thing, but Julia. I never trusted or guessed what she was thinking.Now, I was in the prison where that woman had been living for the past few months. Adeline. That woman was smiling when she saw me sitting in front of her.Sh
