Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 300
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."

Benny's POVMatthew suddenly came into my room with a face full of anger. He had been insolent, entering my room without saying any greetings after slamming the door wide open.Some servants hurriedly closed the door, but I couldn't stop reprimanding his behavior. "Why are you behaving like this, Matthew? Don't you have any manners after disobeying Father?"His eyes still looked piercing. He was my only son, but the more he grew, the less I knew him. I had taken care of him since he was a child after my wife left me, so it should have been appropriate for him to follow my example without saying anything.He has dared to challenge my words and reply to me as if he did not see me as a parent, but just a coworker. I may have spoiled hi, a bit when she was younger, but I had no idea the change would be this big.I've known him for a long time, so this attitude is actually familiar. He seemed dissatisfied with something."This all happened because of Father." He said in a loud voice. "You'

Edwin's POVI faced Benny. The man seemed relaxed, not feeling guilty despite knowing of my unannounced visit to his residence.Normally, I would have done the opposite, and he would have welcomed me warmly, but this time was different. The man I considered a friend behaved as if he had expected me to come to visit him and intended to face me boldly—just like me, who still wanted to question him.I stared at the man in front of me, feeling anger boiling in my head even though I hadn't let it out yet, and tried to remain calm. He seemed to be waiting for me to speak first."I didn't expect you to act like this, Benny. You've destroyed everything we've built up over the years." I clenched my fists. "If Catherine finds out about this, she'll be furious with you for disrupting our family."The man's face seemed to harden, taking off the friendly mask he had been wearing. "I shouldn't have introduced Catherine to you. We could be together right now, not her and you."I snorted softly, hear

Nicole's POVA few days passed. After learning that fact, I shut myself in my room and rejected the desire of the man with glasses who had betrayed me to see me again.I had buried myself in work. I'd barely rested for three days straight if Key hadn't been watching me and hadn't eaten if a servant hadn't delivered food to the study.I felt uncomfortable eating in the dining room because a man had once approached me while I was eating breakfast. I quickly left my place to rush back to my room, even though my food and drink were still intact on the table.There was a knock on the door. I turned my head towards my bedroom door, which opened, revealing my son's figure, whom I hadn't seen in a few days. His face looked gloomy, and he immediately hugged me, who was lying down.I rubbed his hair lightly, while he lifted his face to look at me."Mom, how are you doing now? What exactly happened that you didn't come out of the room?" She rested both hands on my stomach, looking at me gloomily

Nicole's POVI've been getting calls from Matthew for the past few days. He hadn't given up on contacting me even though I hadn't answered any of his many calls that had landed in my cell phone notifications.Although the spam marker on his number was set, his calls kept coming into my phone because I hadn't done anything other than reject them.I completely ignored the bespectacled man who had betrayed me as if we had never had a problem but were just strangers connected from a disconnected call. I went about my activities as usual.Richard's words made me realize that I shouldn't just stay at home and not receive direct sunlight. Confining myself to the house was not a good thing, neither for my health nor for my worried family, so I chose a customized work routine.I had just walked out of the office and asked Key who was walking next to me. "How was the meeting after this?""We're going to meet Mr. Gerald, Miss Nicole. He's already-"Before my assistant could finish speaking, some

Nicole's POV When I got into the car, the bespectacled man who had been bothering me for days called once more. As usual, I dismissed the call, switching my phone to silent mode so only notifications would appear. I sighed long, annoyed with men from the same family — father and son, no less. They had made unforgivable mistakes toward my family. Yet, they continued to harass me, forcing their presence upon me as if determined to make me a part of their family by any means. I understood the source of their confidence. The old man's criminal activities stretched back over twenty years. Their family name was respected, making it difficult to gather evidence to bring the issue into legal scrutiny. They likely had influential connections capable of shielding their misdeeds from media and legal exposure, making it a monumental task to unearth and prove these old transgressions. My father was making tremendous efforts to bring them to justice, but reviving a long-buried case wasn't ea

Nicole's POVI blinked a few times, not feeling entirely conscious but aware of the pain coursing through my entire body. I lay on my stomach, trying to regulate my ragged, slightly laboured breathing.The scene in front of me was utter chaos. The smoke grew thicker, blackening the sky, while people around me scattered, running past as I slowly shifted to sit up. My palms stung, but I ignored the pain as I noticed the smoke was coming from a car not far from me, partially obscured by three recycling bins that had knocked me over and pushed me close to a storefront on the curb. Only then did I realize I had almost been hit by that car?"W-What…?" I stammered, my lips trembling as I sat frozen in shock, leaning against the stone wall of the shop's front. Before this, I had only been walking along the roadside, heading back to my car, which was now engulfed in flames. I couldn't see Key anywhere, and with the crowds streaming past me, I wasn't even sure where I was.A familiar fear cre

*Nicole's POV*The surgery had been ongoing for three hours. The father of the man with glasses was here too, sitting alone, but I paid him no mind, only noticing his shameless presence a while ago.My father had also arrived. He sat beside me, calming me down. His warm hands clasped one of mine, making me feel like I could finally breathe. I leaned my head on his shoulder for a moment."Wouldn't you rather rest, Nicole? I can wait here in your place," he said gently a while ago, noticing how my hands trembled and my breathing unsteady.I still felt shaken, and my hand hadn't returned to normal. My worry lingered, especially after seeing Matthew taken into the operating room in such a grave condition.If anything happened to him, I'd feel a heavy sense of guilt and have no idea what to do—especially if I hadn't waited for him as I was doing now.I shook my head in response to my father's question, attempting a faltering smile. "No, Dad. I want to wait until his surgery is over."He re

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
