Catherine's POV

I was falling. I was sure I felt pain where my arm had been hit and heard a ripping sound that I knew was coming from my dress, but there was something strange. My body doesn't feel pain at all, but rather, there's something quite soft holding me back from falling.

I looked down and realized that someone had caught me in our stacked position. I turned my head to look at the person's face. It was Edwin.

I could only stay transfixed by his calm face. His hazel eyes captivated me again, and I couldn't move from my position for a few moments. But then I remembered the tearing sound coming from my dress and finally saw the existence of the tear with widened eyes.

The man's voice was also heard. "Are you going to continue being on top of me?"

"Sorry," I said and immediately stepped away from him.

The two cats I had managed to grab had already jumped down from my hands, made loud noises as if in protest, exhausted themselves, and chose to stay a few steps away from us. The ma

  • Ex-Lover's Regret   Chapter 370

    Catherine's POVI was already in the car with my family.My father seemed to be in a good mood and looked at me and then spoke. "I didn't know that you could really get close to Edwin Duncan, Catherine. That's a very good thing. Why didn't you ever tell me?"I looked at the man, who looked completely different from his rigid and hard facial expression. Apparently, he could show me different things on his face and in his words, as long as I was his son, if I did what he wanted."Sorry, Father." I only said that in response.He started talking about something else regarding a man I wasn't really close to. My mother and brother were also involved in the conversation, but I wasn't listening at all.I only knew that they were still talking about the things that happened at the party, especially all the things related to that guy. I knew that my parents really wanted a son-in-law who had a strong position among conglomerate families like ours.Not only would it be useful to raise the status

  • Ex-Lover's Regret   Chapter 371

    Catherine's POVI was walking with Benny when I saw a man walking past with one of the lecturers. They seemed to be chatting, and I was sure that the younger man was someone I knew.My steps stopped abruptly. "He's...."Benny followed the direction of my gaze, finding the man who had almost disappeared from our sight. "Oh, Edwin? What's wrong, Kate?" he asked, looking back at me."Wait here, Ben." I didn't reply to his words and quickly walked away.The man was already almost out of sight after rounding the corner, so I quickly caught up with him even though Benny called out to me several times behind me. I wanted to say something to him after we had to part ways at the party without saying anything to each other.My father was engaging the man in conversation, and I could only stand and watch the two, my brother, who was trying to blend in, and my mother, who was just standing by my father's side as usual without saying anything.I managed to catch up with Edwin, but the man still se

  • Ex-Lover's Regret   Chapter 372

    Benny's POVSince my first meeting with Catherine, I've been attracted to her. She was an angel who made my heart flutter, even when we were too young to understand the meaning of love between a man and a woman.I liked her smile, pure white teeth, and the dimples I used to see when she smiled.She was a good woman, too. Since childhood, she has been very friendly with everyone. Although at first she was shy, after getting used to meeting many people, she was able to mingle with anyone. There wasn't anyone who wasn't friends with her or at least exchanged greetings when they passed each other.After being friends for quite a while, I finally learned about the various things this woman had to go through in her family. She was the first child, but because she was a woman, Catherine had no meaning in her family other than being a tool for her family's benefit.She was constantly pressured by her family. She did things she didn't want to do and only followed orders if she wanted to surviv

  • Ex-Lover's Regret   Chapter 373

    Benny's POVI felt that my day was going quite nicely. I met Catherine, went out together, spent time together, and many other things.I've never seen her anywhere near Edwin. What I felt before was just my feelings. I felt relieved again, especially when she returned to her usual self, although perhaps a little more reserved.I didn't hear any more stories about her family, and I could see her daydreaming long enough for me to watch her face even longer.She felt like she was about to turn her head, and I quickly averted my gaze.We were now sitting side by side in the campus garden. Her class hours had a long break this time, while I had already finished today's schedule. She had been silent the whole time we were there, as had been the case more often lately, but her hand was suddenly holding one of mine.I looked at her in surprise, then stared at our two hands piled on each other. Why is she like this? She doesn't usually make physical contact like this when she refuses to hold h

  • Ex-Lover's Regret   Chapter 374

    Catherine's POVI had put the newly bought suit into a plain paper bag without any brand logo on the front or back. I had deliberately done that so that no one from my family would wonder about what I was carrying besides my college needs.They still talked about Edwin at every opportunity, especially when I was in the same place as them, so I was even more careful. My father would definitely get excited if he found out that I intended to meet that guy, no matter the reason, and felt that I could approach him for us to get married someday.Just thinking about it gave me goosebumps. I didn't know him yet, and he definitely didn't show any interest in me as the opposite sex; I was just a woman who happened to be a student in the same class and university as him.I just wanted to quickly give this suit to him so that whatever was between us could be resolved.I arrived at the campus earlier than my first class today. He should have arrived as well because he's a very diligent student. I

  • Ex-Lover's Regret   Chapter 375

    Catherine's POVEdwin was receiving a declaration of love.I realized that when I heard the words of the woman who was looking at him expectantly. She seemed to be waiting for his answer, but he was silent. I moved my body slightly, looking at the woman who had not completely given up.I couldn't help but listen to the woman who again said something else to declare her love for the man."I'm not doing this suddenly. We've been together many times, and I'm always comfortable when I'm with you," she explained.Her gaze seemed to be trying to captivate the man in front of her, who seemed to flinch. "I remember that you also helped me with my assignments recently. That was very helpful. I want us to get to know each other better after we start this relationship, Edwin."I listened to everything and watched silently. After a while, I was finally able to recognize the woman who turned out to be from the White Family. Many men liked her and even received proposals for marriage, but she had d

  • Ex-Lover's Regret   Chapter 376

    Edwin's POVI was already in the car, looking at the suit that Catherine had given me a moment ago.I noticed that the appearance of the suit was not at all similar to the suit I lent her, but it was good enough to wear. In between my daydreams, my attention was slightly distracted by the memory of that woman's face when I found out she was eavesdropping and hurriedly handed me this new suit.She was so stubborn.I knew that she followed me after I deliberately ignored her voice calling my name, but I didn't know that she could eavesdrop on conversations that had nothing to do with her. I exhaled, already putting the suit back into its box and stuffing it into the paper bag. "She's a pretty annoying woman."I started the car, exiting the campus grounds to head home.There was no denying that the annoying woman was also quite interesting and easy to remember. As many said, she was a beautiful woman who provided a boundary for the people around her, but not all.There are other rumors

  • Ex-Lover's Regret   Chapter 377

    Edwin's POVThe thing that always made me remember Catherine was her innocence, like a child or an adult who still acted naively among many people who had other traits that were unpleasant to look at.In a way, I felt that she was annoying. She was too meddlesome and found it difficult to follow the words of others, and her daily life didn't seem to be far from her own carelessness.I knew that she was quite active in class and had taken on the role of class president several times in some courses, but she also didn't always show the role of a class president who should be able to manage herself well and without any mistakes.Is it normal for there to be students like her? She wasn't acting like she should. I wondered and wondered to myself about the existence of that woman who had caught my attention.She was bothering me in that way.I always did everything perfectly. There was nothing I wanted to miss, no mistakes or details. I always made sure my work had no flaws, and I had to be

  • Ex-Lover's Regret   Chapter 407

    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
