Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 350
Nicole's POV"So, Mom... did you leave me here?" Richard asked slightly tearfully. "Do you not love me anymore?"I shook my head. "Of course not, Richard. I love you and would take you with me, not leave you. You know how much I love spending time with you, don't you?""I know...." He nodded. "But, Mom...."My son looked silent. He was sitting opposite me, but I felt his presence far enough away from me that I wanted to reach out to him. I refrained from doing that. I wanted Richard to make a decision based on him, not just on my persuasion.I sighed very slowly, looking at my son who had his head bowed with both hands clenched on each knee."I know that what you're doing here is because you're interested in robots, creating a company in the same field and developing it. You've done it, Richard."I saw it for myself. Although we rarely met to talk about the business, I was always aware of my son's business progress through Key and the company's official website, which I visited from t

Nicole's POVA few days passed, and we were about to prepare to leave and arrive at the airport, which was quite far from the residence.The Duncan family had a separate airstrip at the airport, so only a private plane and some crew would oversee our departure. Still, before that, I saw someone I didn't expect waiting near the plane and looking at us, specifically at me, intently.He'd obviously arrived before us.His gaze felt like I had done something wrong to him, which shouldn't have been possible since my son had already told him the necessary things so that he wouldn't misunderstand. Still, there seemed to be something that made him look that way.I tried to remain calm while Chris walked closer to us. He stopped in front of me, just staring at me which made me involuntarily swallow by seeing the feelings that appeared on his face."I had heard from Richard that you were going to leave this place, go back to your hometown to calm down, but...."The man looked at me with a furrow

Chris' POVI felt pretty cool saying goodbye to Nicole at the airport. Her shocked face was beautiful, and her trying-to-stay-calm demeanor had always captivated me. Still, I could barely mask my selfish desire to keep her away.It was agonizing after she actually left for another city and wouldn't be coming back for some time.There were no more women I could visit by chance nor the pleasant moments of seeing that woman's eyes watching Richard spend time with me. She may not have been looking at me, but I was content to look at her face.We weren't as close as we used to be, but we were at least as far apart as we were a few months ago.I thought that there would be no more barriers for me to get close to her, but Nicole was still looking for ways to get away from me. It was natural, I knew because I wanted good things for her before we could be together.My gaze flicks to my laptop screen, but nothing is read. My mind was only on that woman and the various questions that expressed m

Chris' POVHalf a year had passed, but Nicole had yet to return to Mekana City.I was already feeling desperate after never hearing from her during that time or seeing her face while she was traveling. There were no photos, articles, or anything that should have been seen in the mass media if there had been one person who could get a hold of the woman who was practically a socialite's vacuum.Her business was still going, but she never surfaced, as if she had completely blended in with the ordinary people who had no major stake in the city's economic development.Sometimes, I'd get a call from Richard, talking about some of the things we used to do during our regular meetings, even though he was still in Aden City with his grandfather. I wanted to ask him how she was doing, but every time I would speak, the boy would either change the subject or hang up first with various excuses.After his return a few months ago, we resumed our regular meetings at his residence. I felt quite disappo

Chris' POVI was in an elite bar, drinking leisurely even though I was still thinking about what my secretary had said earlier. Evan's words actually made sense. Nicole would definitely come back to this city if her father did give her a position in his new business. However, still, it might only happen sometime soon.She hasn't been back for half a year already, perhaps the woman will increase the period of her trip to a year or more if the conditions warrant.As of now, my people have not gotten any information on her at all, not even a single picture of her on any social media. She is completely undetectable, just like her absence during the initial eight years when she was in the Duncan Family.I feel very curious about what she did to completely disappear from anyone's reach. Still, I can't even ask because I have absolutely no access to her.Right now, I really have mixed feelings, happy because of what my secretary said that might happen, but my own mind is still settled on the

Nicole's POVIt's been half a year since I left that man, Chris. I travelled to many cities and places I had never been to and had only seen on the Internet. I didn't just visit. I also chose to volunteer and do unpaid jobs and tasks.There were many people I met, whether fellow volunteers or other people related to my part of the job as a social worker. During that time, I really occupied myself. I had various experiences that were quite different from my activities in Mekana City and Aden City.I never met anyone I knew there or had any intentional contact with anyone except my family. Neither did that man. I never gave him any information about my whereabouts. I had asked Richard to keep that to himself so I wouldn't worry.During these six months, most of my time was really spent on myself and other people I didn't really know, but I enjoyed it and could be more calm in every situation.Even so, I couldn't get rid of that man who always came to mind when I was doing my activities

Nicole's POVWe were sitting on a park bench. He was still holding my hand from earlier after his hug had broken, and it felt like he wouldn't let go if I didn't say anything to him."You can let go of my hand, Chris," I told him, already feeling my hand getting a little damp from holding hands with him for so long.The man shook his head. "I can't, I don't want to do that. I'm afraid that you'll just go back on your way after I let go of our handshake."I looked at the man, who was completely serious about his words. Apparently, the effect of me leaving without leaving any trace of anyone made him uneasy.Before this happened, he could always find me anywhere with just a few clues that weren't even that obvious. Still, this time, I was also more serious with my aim to calm down so as not to make any mistakes and just focus on myself.I knew that he couldn't possibly keep his word at the airport, saying that he would give me time. Naturally, a person's attitude stays relatively the sa

Nicole's POVA month passed, and everyone knew about our relationship.Before that happened, Richard already knew about it, something we wanted to tell him without any intention of hiding it anymore. The boy acted normal, looking at Chris and me, and then also seemed indifferent when talking."I already knew that mom would have feelings for dad, and vice versa," he said. "I'm surprised that only you didn't realize it all along."He said that we were making things too complicated. Still, he was also happy that we had finally decided to get back together.I could only remain silent, looking at the man who rubbed my son's, our son's, head with affection. Maybe that's why Richard wasn't too cruel to his father. I could see that the boy treated his father like he was with me.I can admit that our son can be more assertive and outspoken with him. Still, he's also not as cold as when he's with other people who have nothing to do with the Duncan Family. It's almost crueler because Richard onl

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

Catherine's POV"Thank you for buying me a drink, Duncan." I smiled, accepting the glass with a lid made of solid cardboard from his hand, and I immediately held the glass with both hands.He just nodded and passed the other glass to Benny.I took a sip of the relatively warm drink. It turned out to be a delicious chocolate drink. I felt relieved and happy. My legs even wiggled without me fully realizing it.Night had almost fallen, so it was starting to get cold. I remembered the embarrassing incident a few days ago when my skirt got caught, but in the end, the man came back to help me by giving me a warm drink after we had walked quite a distance.A loud snort was heard from Benny. "Why are you buying me a fruity and cold drink? I also want a warm chocolate drink like you guys." He protested.I looked at the two men who stood facing each other with glasses in their hands. Still, a noticeable smoke could be seen from Benny's slightly open mouth, probably the effect of the drink he ha
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 388
Catherine's POVI was mesmerized by the festival atmosphere surrounding me. I've always liked things like this: simple and fun stuff without having to always care about manners or conversations that are always serious and filled with business or politics.Many booths were arranged according to their types, ranging from games, shops selling various things, and other equally entertaining booths. My gaze stopped at one of the nearby stands for jewelry of sale.My steps halted when I arrived in front of it. I looked at the various kinds of jewelry displayed and touched a few that I wanted to take a closer look at. They all looked pretty, but I didn't really want to buy them either; I just wanted to look around.I didn't have much jewelry, but my mother added to it according to my needs, so I didn't feel the need to do the same.A person who seemed to be the salesgirl watched me without saying much but then said to me after a while."Don't you intend to buy the jewelry, Miss? I think the b
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 387
Catherine's POVI was always with Benny and Edwin. I felt happy because I was finally able to make a new friend again, and it was a guy I initially thought was quiet and cold.At first, Benny and Edwin always argued for whatever reason, but in the end, they always accompanied me wherever I went. We were like a unique combination, from three different majors and different personalities.I heard rumors about us hanging out, going to our respective classes or the cafeteria."Look, she can get two handsome guys simultaneously," whispered one of the students.His friend replied. "She's so lucky. I never even managed to get close to Edwin Duncan....""She's luckier because she's close to Benny Thompson. That guy is really nice and friendly."They said that and then talked about one of the guys I was with, who was probably my boyfriend.One of them spoke up again. "Isn't that obvious? His girlfriend must be Benny. They've been in a relationship for a long time.""Hm, I agree."There were som
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 386
Catherine's POVI still felt uncomfortable walking on campus. Aside from my aching feet, my father's words before I was allowed to leave for the campus with our family's private driver also bothered me.I was happy with my friendship with Edwin and my friendship with Benny, which lasted longer than that. Both of them were friends to me, but my father always made our relationship seem like a transaction, trying to talk to them for the benefit of our family.He said that each of them would greatly help me prove myself in the Varma Family. Our relationship would make me valuable and not the only useless woman in our family, while all the things I had done before were meaningless in my father's eyes.I felt annoyed that my father shouldn't be behaving like that towards me, but also unable to do anything to stop it. As Edwin said, I was still not strong and had to extricate myself with the help of the allies that had just started from the man himself.My sigh escaped on its own, but after
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 385
Catherine's POVI had come out of the toilet and looked around the party room for Edwin and Benny, but they were nowhere to be seen.I could find my father easily, still chatting with some important people intimately, but the two men were nowhere to be seen. It was as if they had disappeared or were hiding very well so as not to be found by me.I recalled Benny's face, which didn't look too good before they left together, curling my lip and mumbling, "What is that guy going to do? That's not what I'm thinking about, is it?"Before going to the restroom, I heard the man wanted to talk to Edwin, but I wasn't sure. I'm currently feeling uncomfortable as I'm still searching for them among the crowd. That man might have misunderstood my relationship with Edwin.He was a very close friend, a really good friend who had been with me for so long that we were like brothers, but he didn't feel that way. He liked me, and I always pushed him away so our friendship wouldn't end.He always helped an
