Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 322
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

Nicole's POVRichard and I had been escorted by the man to the front of our family home. I got ready to get down, opened the door first, and looked at my son. "Come on, Richard.""I'll go first." He patted my outstretched hand lightly. "There's something I want to talk to him about."I watched my son without speaking and then turned to the man who had obviously heard our brief conversation. I couldn't guess what she wanted to talk about privately with the man who had spent time with us, but I couldn't forbid it either.After all, it had been me from the start who had made it possible for them to meet regularly and eventually become closer than I had expected.I nodded. "Alright, don't take too long, Richard. Mom will be waiting for you outside the car."He smiled and nodded while I closed the car door and moved away a little. I could still watch the two of them, who seemed to be talking to each other. Their faces were both calm, but they didn't look serious either, so I wasn't too wor

Chris's POVBefore this, I thought about my conversation with the little boy on the drive. This was his first question after Nicole took distance from my car, and he didn't sound restrained at all."Dad, don't you think about my mom?"I felt like I didn't understand. If the question was like that, I would always think about Nicole. She was the only woman I thought about until now and had occupied the only space in my heart forever.In all the years that I have met, there has never been a woman as beautiful and strong as her. I was sure she was the only woman who could live with me until our age.The boy realized my difficulty in answering and asked again. "You still like my mom, right?" He saw me nod. "Don't you want to reveal it to Mom?"I paused, thinking about his question, and then shook my head."Revealing it is a difficult thing." I looked at the boy, remembering his attitude was similar to his mother's. "You also know that I've expressed it many times after we met back then, bu

Chris' POVI listened to my secretary talk about the ongoing projects in our company, which have become more stable. Even though I was doing other things while she talked, I could hear her report well.The project Evan was referring to had indeed experienced some obstacles that hindered its running time, but the problem-solving that was done ultimately brought about the satisfactory end result it is today.After listening to the man, I nodded. "Good. Take the next step as planned." My gaze was fixed on him. "This project must succeed."The project had taken a while to reach this stage. I wanted to save time and squander everything put into ensuring this project was on track.My secretary exhaled. "If only Mr. Edwin Duncan hadn't been involved, then this project could have reached the point you wanted it to reach months ago."I looked coldly at the man who had said whatever he wanted. Of course, I also knew that the biggest obstacle we faced for this project was the actions of Edwin Du

Chris' POVWe sat close together in an available meeting room that had been agreed upon before the meeting day. We were the only ones who had arrived in this room, as it was still a few hours before the actual gathering time so I opened the conversation first."You are also involved in this project, madam?"She nodded. "Yes, I like projects like this, especially with Mr. Grant. I don't feel too lonely."I smiled, replying to her words that were just casual pleasantries. I knew that this old woman next to me had a lot of connections with her position as the head of the socialites in Mekana City. She was not someone to be underestimated, and it would be difficult to make an enemy.Many other businessmen also know this, especially if they do not want any obstacles in their lives or ongoing business."How is your relationship with Miss Nicole, Mr. Grant?" She asked again, showing a slightly different look in her eyes than before.I still remember the walk a few days ago and the other walk

Nicole's POVI knew that when I arrived at the office, there were a lot of eyes looking at me with various things that I had already guessed.Most of them probably felt sorry for what had happened to me lately, especially with the news of Matthew's death as my ex-fiancé.There had been plenty of comments discussing how compatible I was with the other man that Richard and I had been close to lately. Still, once the news of Matthew's death was confirmed and spread across most mass media channels, the people in my office were clearly paying more attention to it.Some of those people might have questioned things that had actually happened, such as that before the bespectacled man died, we had decided not to get married despite the news of our engagement being spread to all available media and his frequent visits to my office."Miss Nicole must be sorry." Someone whispered, but I could hear it well as I walked slowly.The other responded. "I know. Mr. Matthew has come here several times, a

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
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
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 395
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
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 394
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
