Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 311
Nicole's POVI was currently looking into the glass that mediated between me and the bespectacled man who was lying on his intensive care unit bed. He was still unconscious but was still being helped with some support equipment so that his health would not decline.I exhaled at the sight of his condition, as well as the figure who had been following me since we met in the basement of the hospital and was now standing next to me."You followed me."I didn't ask, but the man nodded. "I originally wanted to go to your house, but then I thought that you would definitely visit it, so I switched to here."That man was Chris. He was still acting on his own, doing whatever he wanted, even though nothing was forcing him to get involved in this situation. He could have stayed home to see my son, like their usual routine meeting, but he preferred to meddle in my affairs.I couldn't hate her for what she did this time. With all the things that had happened lately and the grudge I had been holding

Nicole's POVI exhaled, looking at the phone screen that showed a search for my name. In the end, the reporters finally heard what happened to us.It started with the marriage between Matthew and me failing to take place, causing a lot of questions about why, and now, they found out that Benny Thompson intended to kill me.The case about the bespectacled man's father should have only reached the police. Still, somehow, the reporters were able to get their hands on the information and release it to the media immediately. I had already seen a few articles, and my father, who was next to my hospital bed, was shaking with annoyance.He glared at the screen of his own phone. "I told them to shut up! Why? Huh...." The man tried to catch his breath to feel calmer.I understand my father's desire not to have such an internal and long-standing problem spread, but of course, some irresponsible people feel they can take advantage of our bad situation, especially since the two conglomerate famili

Nicole's POVBefore heading out, I changed my clothes and put on my glasses and hat. I wanted to avoid attracting any attention, especially with my name still on the top of the search list and me only going alone to blend in more with others.My purpose in going out was to refresh my brain, which has been having to think about many things lately.Starting from Matthew, who had yet to wake up from his coma to his father, who was still in the process of being transferred to the prison that would be his final destination. My father was taking care of that, so only one of the servants from my house, in the hospitalization room, knew of my departure.I'm sure she had already conveyed that to Key so she could pass it on to my father. I was okay with it as long as I had time to be alone and enjoy it."Here." I checked the maps I'd used to take me to a nearby café that served delicious chocolate drinks, then to the small building in front of me.The place looked cosy, but I just bought the ch

Chris' POVI looked at the woman, who seemed stunned to see me, coupled with the blush on her cheeks, which seemed a little pale. I swallowed unconsciously, trying not to get my hopes up with what I was seeing at the moment, feeling that Nicole was being mesmerized by the simple things I was doing for her.I had already delivered her to the Duncan Family residence by this time. The woman exited the car and lowered her head slightly to speak to me, who was still inside. "Thank you for driving me."There was no smile on her lips, but I could hear her words were sincere and did not sound rude like usual. I was silent momentarily, feeling that what happened today shouldn't stop there, so I stepped out of the car.The woman had already reached the gates of her residence, strolling as if I was no longer the man who made her feel threatened. I smiled slightly, Nicole had probably accepted me by now without realizing it, and we were getting closer even though the man with the glasses was stil

Chris' POV"Is everything okay?"I looked at my secretary, who spoke before returning to my work. "Yes.""Do you still want to provide assistance to Mr. Edwin Duncan? It seems like you've done enough favors already." He spoke again.I gave him a quick glance and then exhaled. "Of course, that's not a problem.""Are you hoping that what you're doing now will make Mr. Duncan voluntarily become your father-in-law?" The man spoke again, testing the limits of my already thin patience.I gave Evan a sharp look, no longer able to be mediocre when he crossed the line. "Shut your mouth.""Yes." He nodded a few times as if he understood the meaning of his words to me, who was his superior. "I know that you wish it that way, right?"I looked at her coldly. My desire to fire the secretary standing before me still hadn't completely disappeared every time he acted like this. Still, I also couldn't let go of the man who did every job perfectly every time.The man finally closed his mouth, allowing m

Chris' POVI've been working all day, going up and down the stairs every once in a while, so I have to stretch my shoulders and neck repeatedly. I felt tired, but I had a lot of things to do.It's been a few days since I've prioritized work, so there are some reports that I haven't touched. Right now, I am working on the most troublesome part while there is still time. Evan didn't accompany me because I threw him other responsibilities after what he said the other day.It didn't matter so far because this wasn't the first time that trouble-making man had been punished for his actions. After all, he had been working with me for more than ten years, so he should know what it takes to get some of the work done without me getting involved.Just halfway up the stairs of a building, I got a call from one of my subordinates, so I picked it up.The man on the other side of the call spoke first. "Sir, there's a problem at the hospital. There seems to be unusually busy activity in the patient's

Nicole's POVI don't know what I've done to be rewarded like this all this time.Did I unknowingly make a mistake in the past, or did it happen in a previous life? I have to experience this kind of miserable thing again. Too many times. Everything that hurt me from a few years ago was already excruciating, and so was this time.On the one hand, I didn't want to be in this place, amongst the pouring rain with the many black umbrellas used by the mourners, but on the other hand, I had to be there to say goodbye to him.The unconscious, bespectacled man eventually decided to really go. The doctor's attempts to save him were unsuccessful, and his own life eventually disappeared.My gaze fell on the grave a few steps ahead of me. A carved and new-looking coffin was nearby, ready to be inserted. A few songs rang out until the coffin, to be the man's final resting place, was entirely covered by dirt.I would never be able to see that man's sweet, warm smile, his gentle gaze or his voice agai

Nicole's POVI was with Benny. A glass was between us, and we were sitting face to face. He looked calm, while my gaze was cold when I talked to him."Are you satisfied now, Mr. Thompson? Matthew is dead, and you ended up in prison."I deliberately asked him that, thinking that the old man would at least feel sad about his son's death, but he didn't. I could see the smirk forming on his pale lips, and his voice sounded hoarse when he decided to respond to my words.He snorted quickly. "Aren't you the one who should be feeling sorry, Miss Nicole?"I paused, automatically squeezing the hands on my lap. I did feel that way before I decided to come here, not because of the bespectacled man's death but because of the relationship between us that could have ended better without his father.Many things could have connected us, like my dead twin brother. Matthew would have known much about him, and maybe we could have reminisced about him and become close friends. However, our relationship wo

Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 398
Catherine's POVI was surprised by my father's overly friendly reaction. He doesn't usually behave like this. I was uncomfortable and a little creeped out by his actions, but I couldn't make any comment.We stepped inside, passing by several servants who seemed to have been ordered by my father to welcome us.I saw my father walking first, then Edwin, who kept walking with me. The servants' stares seemed to follow us, but then I realized that they were only paying attention to the man who had just entered the Varma Family residence, the figure next to me.Apart from some of my father's colleagues, he was the only man who had ever entered this house. Benny hadn't even had that opportunity in all the time we'd been friends. My father was cautious in his dealings with businessmen and other conglomerate families. Perhaps that's why not just anyone could visit our house.And because of that, the man I called father was more guarded in Edwin's presence to maintain a good chance for our fami
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 397
Edwin's POVI kissed Catherine more than the touch of lips she gave me. I did it slowly, not entirely sure, but following what felt right with her lips on mine.I just knew that something like this made everything around me slow down. I loved the feel of her soft lips, the slightly sweet taste of the wine left in her mouth and the moisture that mingled on each of our lips.Catherine pulled away from our kiss first, slightly out of breath but smiling at me. I paused, staring at the woman who was so innocent but also made me feel things I had never felt before.I had never known anything like this and went back to kissing her a few more times until my own lips felt like they were going to swell and felt hot with the inside of the car tightly closed, even with the coolant on.After that, we went beyond the point of no return."What is this?" The woman was heard shouting.My consciousness returned, and then my head felt like it was ringing. Her voice sounded really loud. It took me some t
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 396
Edwin's POVI know why Catherine is acting like this. She was proposed to by Benny, her best friend who seemed to have more feelings for her, but she herself didn't want that to happen.She had told me the things she wanted, some of the things in between the annoyance and sadness she felt. Above all, for Catherine, Benny was her treasured friend, not as a future husband nor one who could free her from the Varma family.I agreed to that after feeling a little uncomfortable with the way she had been talking about a man who had not been with us for some time.No sooner had I approached her who stood up from her seat in the restaurant and was in an unsteady state, than she fell into my arms. I could feel how soft and fragrant her body was close to mine.The sound of her breathing could be clearly heard over my shoulder where she was leaning. She was almost unconscious, so I sighed softly and whispered to her. "You seem to be looking for trouble with me, Varma."I repositioned her between

Catherine's Point of View"So, how was it?" He asked, looking at me.I wiped my face with my handkerchief, unable to look directly at the man again after a long stare, but still shook my head with certainty. "No way, my opinion hasn't changed from what I said before. I don't think it makes any sense.""Alright." The man nodded. "Come on, I'll treat you to dinner."I returned Edwin's nod, accepting the man's ride to a private restaurant that catered to a wide variety of conglomerate families from this city and abroad. This was the first time I had visited this famous place; previously, I had only heard about it from my father and Daniel.In addition to being a place to formally entertain guests, some also make official cooperation agreements between foreign companies, including my family, which is also the reason my younger brother was able to go to this place first with my father.I sat opposite Edwin, enjoying the view of the city through the restaurant's glass, which was almost as t

Catherine's POVI looked at the man over my glasses, feeling mixed emotions inside me as I poured out all sorts of things I had wanted to say to him since last night but could only say today."Did you know that your family sent a marriage proposal to my family?" I began. "It wasn't that long ago that we entered college, Ben, but how could the proposal come at such an unexpected time and from your family."My gaze was fixed on his eyes, which were also looking at me. "Did you ask for the proposal to be sent to my family so that we can get married?"He didn't say a word in reply; he just squeezed his hands on each side of his body and turned his gaze away from me. I clamped my mouth shut for a moment."I'm furious." I took a deep breath, trying to control myself from overwhelming feelings."You already know I don't like this at all, Ben. Getting married. It's a new prison for me and indirectly proves to my father that I'll never escape the Varma family's female nature."I still remember
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 393
Catherine's POVWhen I woke up, my head hurt, as well as my eyes, which were quite difficult to open even though I was awake. I seemed to have cried too much and fallen asleep immediately afterwards to have this effect.I felt thirsty and looked for a drink on the small table not far from the bed and grabbed it. I drank the contents of the glass in four big gulps and put it back on the table. My gaze automatically went to the large mirror on the other side of the bed.There, the reflection of my face looked messy. I really looked like someone who had just woken up after crying for hours. My eyes were puffy with traces of tears that I could feel with my fingers, my nose was slightly reddened, and the area around my eyes was slightly reddened.I stared at my appearance with mixed feelings. It's really embarrassing even though I'm the only one who sees this right now, and maybe one of the waiters who refilled my water, but it doesn't really matter because I have to leave for college in a
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 392
Catherine's POVI was feeling tired.It's been one week since the end-of-semester exams, and I have to repeat the lessons of the whole semester on my own. I also have to read copies of the assignments I've done and notes from the lecturer on topics that might come up in the exam this time.I was so busy that I didn't have time to do anything other than study and get enough rest when night fell, that is, if I didn't have any assignments to complete for the practical exam.Arriving home, I already felt a piercing headache that made me want to lie down and sleep for a while. I still had to study for the theoretical exam and submit other practical assignments to the lecturer from other courses.I had envisioned a soft mattress on my bed, as well as blankets and pillows that would feel very soft on my body after I had exhausted my thoughts and abilities for today's exam, but it didn't work out.Someone knocked on my bedroom door and opened the door after I let myself in. It was one of the

Edwin's POGIn my father's study, I was reading a book he recommended. He was also reading for a while, but then he put the book on the desk and looked at me."What do you think about our new project?" he asked, slightly serious but also relaxed.I moved the book out of sight to look at him. "The things they're doing are right. I can't find any flaws."He nodded. The report he had shown me this morning followed the book he had put down. It was about the business collaboration between the Duncan Family and the Thompson Family, with Benny and I as the chief executives, while our father was the funder and in charge.Although the two of us had not completely taken over the family business, our fathers had agreed to involve their family successors in this newly started business. Aside from the family interest, both of them said it was important for our future.I had no problem with that. After all, my father had taught me everything about our family business since I was a child and other i
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 390
Catherine's POVAfter receiving the gift from Edwin, I was now only with Benny and his personal driver driving. The man sat down with me and then noticed something was different about my attitude.He rested his chin on one of my hands, which was still clasped tightly. "What are you holding on to? You didn't let go at all....""This." I showed him the bracelet.His eyes look wide. "Isn't that the jewelry you saw earlier? I thought you didn't buy it.""I didn't buy it."Considering Benny was also aware of what I was doing while looking at the jewelry, perhaps my liking for this bracelet was too obvious.My gaze was fixed on the bracelet, and I thought about how the man who had left the festival first had unhesitatingly bought me this jewelry and given it to me without anyone knowing. I don't know what that man was thinking when he bought me this, but the pounding of my heart was starting to feel too clear in my chest.The car stopped. I blinked, realizing that I had arrived in front of
