Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 317
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

Nicole's POVI walked with Chris and Richard as a family. Although, in the eyes of the law, we were not related at all, this walk together had been planned a few days ago. The man and I agreed, while my son seemed to take our answer well."Ah, we're finally here." He said with relief.I smiled slightly, watching my son, who was staring at the shop in front of us. "Yes, you want to check out the shop that sells your robots yourself, right?""Hmm." He nodded. "I want to check it out with Mom. Mom needs to see what I did to my robots, and so does that guy. He has to see how good the robots I sell are because that guy had protested about some things regarding the robot making I did, but there's never been a problem so far."I nodded, knowing that my son has a perfectionist side in his robot-making. He always makes sure that nothing goes wrong in the final result of his robot prototype and the robots that are produced afterward.There are several stages of quality control, and he oversees

Nicole's POVWe were in front of the grave of someone I had just met. My father's gaze was fixed only on the name on the headstone, which read Catherine Duncan.Father held both of my shoulders with each hand, holding me quite tightly. His breathing sounded quite heavy to my ears, but his voice sounded soft when he spoke."Honey, this is our daughter, Nicole Duncan." She looked grim but tried to smile with the words she wanted to say after this. "I could only bring her here even though we've been seeing each other for a while. She's Natalie's twin that we didn't know about...."I could feel my father holding back his emotions by my side. His eyes looked teary, and his grip on my shoulder tightened slightly. He lightly rubbed my shoulder when he decided to continue. "She, our child, has been through a lot. It's a miracle I found him in such an unexpected situation, Catherine."My father poured out his heart to his wife and my mother, who had left his side long ago. Despite the decades

Nicole's POV"Isn't this the necklace that Mom once wore, Dad?"I looked at the necklace in my hand, which was very similar to the one in the painting of my mother with my father and Natalie. The eyes of the necklace were of a very pretty yellow gem.My father finally nodded. "Yes, this was your mother's. I kept it for Natalie to use someday...." He was lost for words for a moment. "I'm sorry. I only knew then that your twin sister was our only child, but then we met Nicole.""You are now my only child, with fate leading us and Richard back together as a family." The man smiled slightly. "That strange, familiar feeling when I first saw you was my premonition as a parent."I nodded, understanding that there was nothing wrong with my father's words. I didn't feel hurt at all by my father's words about my dead brother and their connection to the necklace.After all, my whereabouts were unknown until the operation that uncovered my identity as the missing child of the Duncan Family.I ret

Nicole's POVI was surprised by what Richard said. Old grandma. He could call only one person when it came to Chris."Give your phone to Chris, Richard," I said to him, trying to stay calm even though my pounding heart wouldn't let me.My son was like a world unto himself. He was my life since birth; he was the only thing I depended on to survive, even when the hitmen were chasing me until I had to be involved in an accident and was rescued by my father.If something happened to him because I wasn't by his side, I wasn't sure if I could live as usual or leave him in someone else's hands again.I was feeling very emotional right now. I had entrusted that man to have a meeting with my son, but right now, he was meeting that man's mother, with whom I had no good history.The man's voice was slightly audible on the phone, so I finally spoke. "Why did you let your mom meet with my son, Chris?""My mom came in unexpectedly. I kicked her out."I didn't immediately believe his words. The man

Nicole's POVRichard is the most important person in my life. He was my world and the only light I had when so much was happening. I knew something dangerous could happen if Nova, the man's mother, was in the same place as my son.She was one of the people I hated, and she mistreated me. We had met again when I became part of the Duncan Family, but that old woman's arrogant attitude remained the same.Anyone she considered inferior would continue to be seen that way, although she never did it overtly and hid her bad attitude behind her polite words. Anyone who was sensitive could figure it out well, including me.Imagining my mature and brave son and that woman I hated terrified me."Here we are, Miss-" I didn't hear the rest of the driver's words.I exited the car, slamming the door with increasing agitation as my footsteps quickly approached the man's residence. The house still looked the same and made me clench my fists tightly, but I didn't stop my steps until I arrived at the hou

Nicole's POVI exhaled slowly. I was at the bookstore my son wanted, following in his footsteps and Chris's, who seemed to have planned this first.The man looked happy, as did Richard, who walked ahead of us. He had his eye on a few books he wanted to buy and picked up more than I expected. That kid doesn't leave anything to chance, especially when it comes to something he loves besides robots and books.After starting his formal lessons, the boy grew thirsty for knowledge that neither his private teachers nor our family members taught him. He looked up everything he wanted on the Internet, but if that wasn't enough, the boy would jot down some book titles so he could buy them later.He looked at me after putting another book that the man had brought for him into the basket. "Mom! You should get some books too. Don't you love books as much as I do? It's been a while since you bought a book."I gave my son a faint smile. His words were true, but I didn't really want to linger here. My

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
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 405
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
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 404
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
