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

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

Nicole's POVI played a round of golf with Richard, smiling as I watched his shot send the small, heavy ball soaring into the hole with precision. "Good shot, Richard.""Yes, mom, but I still need to learn more...." He reasoned.I patted him lightly on the shoulder as Key helped him pick up the ball and put it into the holder. "Still, you can already golf pretty well without practising too hard."My son smiled, and we relaxed for a while, drinking the drinks that had just been prepared as we were seated by the few waiters helping Key's work in serving us.Right now, we were still around the house, more precisely in the backyard that had been deliberately made as an impromptu golf course. The course was only created yesterday, and this morning, it was completely finished, so my son and I could use it immediately. Golf equipment is also easy to find, with access to the city centre, which is quite close to our house.I was happy to see my son and spend time with him after a long time. I

Nicole's POVI couldn't leave it at that, seeing that woman who just stood there and pretended to sympathize with me when I had to get up slowly and put the cake I bought for Richard in a safe place.I looked back at the woman who was still in front of me. "You saw me clearly earlier. Your gaze never even left me when I actually fell, right?"I already knew that Julia Dorris was interested in Chris. Still, like a woman with no power to deal with a man who cared so little for others, she preferred to come to me because I was already seen as an obstacle to her reaching his heart.The woman unexpectedly smiled. "So what, aren't you having more fun on top of other people's suffering right now? You should look in the mirror first, Miss Nicole."I, who had been standing face to face and heard the woman's words before me, was shocked. I didn't know the meaning of her accusing me like that when I had only been working and occasionally spending the rest of my time between jobs and afterwards w

Nicole's POVI met with my father at the office, reporting on the deal I had managed to secure a few days ago."I met with Mr. Hudson, Father. The cooperation between our companies is going well. He will meet with you during these two days for further talks."The man, much older than me, looked at me in surprise. "Why should Mr. Hudson meet with me? That is your business, Nicole." I returned his gaze with surprise, but he continued."You're the one who got the deal with his company, so you'll be in charge until the end, not me." He smiled slightly. "You have to remember that, Nicole."I nodded. "Yes, Father."Actually, I was used to doing my work until the end. Still, considering that part of my workload was reduced and transferred to my father, I thought that this deal would also be completed by a man who was more experienced than me. But it wasn't.I felt relieved. Before letting it go, I wanted to see this deal through to the end. There were a few collaborations that I was really i

Nicole's POV"What do you mean?" My father was asking.I looked at the man still standing next to me, repeating my question so that it could be heard more clearly: "You've known Mr. Thompson, Matthew's father, since when?""Oh, that." He seemed to mumble. "I've known Benny since we were teenagers. Roughly, when we were seventeen?”I was silent momentarily, not expecting the answer about how long they had been friends to go back further than he had told me. They started their friendship when the first business cooperation between their companies began."That was a long time ago, Father." I finally said, staring at the street in front of us that was still filled with a few passers-by. "The friendship between you has been almost fifty years...."My father nodded. "We met your mother at the academy and have been friends ever since. Ah, the three of us were in the same batch."The old man told me that despite being in the same academy, he and Benny never actually said hello to each other.

Nicole's POVOne week had passed. Right now, I was staring at the woman in front of me, tied to a chair with several of my bodyguards standing guard around us. I had just arrested her along with some suspicious people because one of my confidants informed me of her unusual actions.I immediately took action so that it would be noticed. I could already guess her intentions, and the end result wouldn't be good for me or the people I was involved with.The tied-up woman didn't say anything, and neither did I, but I finally opened the conversation by giving her a cold stare. "I had expected that you might do something like this, but you didn't waste any time at all, Miss Julia Dorris.""As a businesswoman, time is money, Miss Nicole. You must know that." Julia smiled, showing absolutely no agitation that I had caught her. "But why are you bothering to catch me like this? What does it have to do with you if I do something? You're the one who said that you don't want to get involved in this

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

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

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

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
