Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 293
Edwin's POVTwo days later, I got a message from someone I didn't want to meet unless I had to. It was polite and arrogant, but I knew that even his usual demeanor was like that, so I didn't want to see him even more.Although I didn't like the idea of meeting without discussing the schedule first, I couldn't refuse the man's invitation to meet when he wrote Nicole's name. Ultimately, I still went to the appointment place according to his request, which I could have rejected outright.Christian Grant. The man had arrived first and sat down in front of me.He didn't mince words and got straight to the point. "Nicole cannot marry Matthew Thompson, Mr. Duncan."My gaze sharpened, already disliking the serious-looking man's topic of conversation, which didn't sound plausible at all.He had no connection to our family other than that we were businessmen. Still, even though it was never related to the family's internal affairs, outsiders like him were not allowed to interfere.Just saying t

Edwin's POV"You seem to know that?" He said when he saw me looking at him.I answered him without hesitation. "Of course, I knew. We had a healthy competition back then and Catherine became my wife."Benny and I became friends because of Catherine. She brought us together and made us partners until now. Although I could see that he was looking at a woman who was our age with a smile, and I was doing the same to my wife when we were younger, in the end, we had a healthy competition for her heart.It was a long time ago. I became Catherine's husband after we graduated and pursued our dreams as businessmen.I didn't know the purpose of this young businessman in front of me, which was to bring up our past. I didn't think much about it because Benny had found his heartmate and had Matthew as his son. I wanted to avoid getting carried away and thinking things out of order only to hear him speak again."You sound confident." He said in a tone I couldn't explain but also made me frown. "I've

Edwin's POVI was reminded of the past, precisely when my wife's death occurred, and it was the day of her funeral.I could see Benny at the ceremony from start to finish, but he didn't come near me. It was only at the end of the procession that he walked towards me, with no one around except a few bodyguards standing some distance away from where we were standing, near the wet soil that had piled up on my wife's grave.His face looked very sad, although I saw no trace of tears, then he spoke. "How did Catherine die, Edwin?"I paused, feeling the reality that my wife, the woman I loved, was no longer in this world from her words. I would never be able to see her smile, feel her warmth, or hear his voice by my side again. That made my eyes water again, and I tried to answer the man's question weakly."I... I don't know either...."I could only say that. A lot had happened in one day, and I wasn't even sure how I was still standing, going through the funeral procession while welcoming t

Chris' POVI felt shocked when I learned the information provided by Ezrah, the expert informant; I was the feeling I had felt all day while watching Nicole that day, and it had finally been proven.I exhaled, looking at the few sheets of paper scattered on the table, before looking at her again. "Is the information I asked you to find really like this? Not a hoax or just a rumor?""That's right, sir. I can't possibly give unsubstantiated information." He replied. "The information collected and handed over to you is what really happened."I stared at some clearly visible sheets of paper, most of which were written. Still, there were also blurry photographs that were enlarged several times and appeared dark due to poor lighting.He really was an expert. I now knew that Nicole had been kidnapped by one of the Armstrong Family's underlings when she was a newborn, as well as when the young baby had been taken by the Martinez Family after the kidnapping failed.All this time, I thought tha

Chris' POVI confronted the man when he had just arrived. He clearly wanted to get to Nicole when he saw that I was also here, and I couldn't possibly give him the chance to do that.Nicole joined us, looking at me and the bespectacled man in turn. "What do you want to do?""I just want to talk to him, Nicole," I said, looking at the bespectacled man who was also watching me with a piercing gaze.We changed places, but we were still facing each other and trying to intimidate each other. He clearly didn't want to lose to me despite our age difference, just like that woman.He adjusted his glasses with his middle finger. "Why did you show up here? Aren't you not supposed to show up here anymore since Nicole and I are getting married?"I ignored his behavior, focusing more on his words to me, which still sounded boastful. He did mention the name of the woman I loved, but from the way he spoke, he didn't show the way it should be done when talking about someone important in his life."Do

Nicole's POVI didn't like meeting Chris. At the time, I was already quite surprised to see him with my father, but they seemed to have been chatting for a while and hadn't finished when I greeted my father with Richard.My son seemed to be wondering about the existence of the man who only met him when they had their regular meetings. Still, both men seemed serious about the ongoing conversation, especially my father, who looked a little pale."Are you okay?" I asked, but he just smiled for a few moments at me and my son.The old man then patted the back of my hand lightly. "You're fine. Just relax with Richard while I talk to Mr. Grant."I looked at the man in front of my father, who hadn't spoken during my greeting, but then I felt my hand tightly grabbed by my son's hand. He spoke before I could say anything."Okay, Grandpa. I'll take Mom to play." He smiled at Edwin.My father nodded and patted my son's head with the same smile, and then my son dragged me in the other direction wi

Nicole's POVI felt an overwhelming urge inside me, seeing the man who was going to marry me keeping his mouth shut about the matter that had involved him and his father. I walked forward towards Matthew, while the bespectacled man stayed where he was.I clenched my fists tighter, already strengthening my voice to speak to the man when he could only look down. "Tell me, speak the truth, Matthew. Do you still think of me as Natalie?"He said I looked a lot like my dead brother, whom I'd never seen in person. Still, even before that, he'd mistaken me for Natalie, thinking of me as his first love even though I'd only returned to the Duncan family nine years ago.I swallowed, trying to hold back the wave of feelings that seemed to be about to strike me."Didn't I ask you about that first? I told you I'm not her, even though our faces are similar. You knew that, too, right?"The man still couldn't answer, nor did he direct his gaze at me. I beat my chest a few times, wanting to relieve the

Nicole's POVI faced my father, leaving behind the two men who seemed to be making a good choice by not following me. I was still feeling disoriented, and my breathing was ragged. My gaze was fixed on my father, who was also looking back at me with a fixed gaze.He spoke first. "Have you figured it out now?"I looked at my father, who still looked pale, especially at his mouth. It seemed to contrast with his white hair and slightly tanned skin. He didn't look any better than me, perhaps even worse, because the man he had long considered a friend had stabbed him in the back.Still, it also made me remember everything I had to go through at the Martinez Family residence.All the humiliation and torture that those two women, as well as my foster father, had put me through should not have been necessary. Although I loved my dead foster mother, without him, I was completely alone there.The tears I had been holding back finally fell down my cheeks. "Just now, Father. It's... excruciating."

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

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
