Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 48
Nicole's POVI took a deep breath before walking into the large building in front of me. Inside, I met the man who had greeted me, the leader of the company that would be a potential partner in the partnership between my adoptive father's company and mine.Edwin had told the man that I would be arriving as his daughter and representative in the formation of the deal between the two companies. I felt a little nervous when I saw the man's appearance who still looked dashing, even though he was almost as old as my adoptive father."Thank you for coming all the way here, Miss Nicole." He smiled broadly, extending his hand to me first which I immediately accepted. "I didn't know that Edwin Duncan had such a beautiful daughter like you. You must look a lot like your mother."I returned the man's smile. "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. James Hopes. I still need a lot of guidance as I'm still young and learning to this day."James chuckled. "Hm, it doesn't seem like it. Miss Nicole is so mu
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 49
Nicole's POVJames looked surprised by my words and then looked at Richard who had now switched to holding my hand. "This little boy is your son, Miss Nicole?""Yes, Mr. James." I nodded, tightening my grip on Richard for a moment before loosening it again, but he maintained our hold. "He is the child I gave birth to."The man still seemed to be digesting my words, watching Richard and I's faces in turn before he accepted my son's smile who was well aware of James' gaze on him.My son greeted him politely, acting like a child in front of the man. "Good afternoon, Mr. James. My name is Richard, my mother's only child.""Oh. You know my name?" Mr. James looked surprised.Richard smiled a little, looked at me then back at the man as we shook our hands lightly. "I heard my mother mention your name, Mr. James.""Gosh, that's right." The man laughed then ruffled Richard's hair lightly. "Good boy, I was too distracted by your handsome face to notice.""Thank you, Mr. James." Richard bowed po
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 50
Nicole's POVI saw that the inside of the hall was spacious and airy, with a fairly high ceiling and several windows that were almost as high and located at certain points. I can imagine that a lot of people could gather here for a corporate event.There will be a few other things I can prepare for the upcoming event and so far, I don't see any major flaws in the hall that I have been looking at for quite some time.From the inside, to the outside which was connected to a nice garden. There were a few minor things that needed to be fixed, but it didn't matter since there was already a special budget for situations like this.Richard moved our joined hands until I turned to look at him. "This hall is quite nice, ma'am."I nodded, agreeing with my son's words while smiling slightly. She had been with me all this time and had been looking at the hall with me quietly. He looked serious, pointing out a few things that he thought I should double check and I told Key to take note of them.Ri
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 51
Nicole's POVI didn't know what the hell was going on. For the second time, I was meeting someone I didn't want to meet in such proximity. First, it was Chris, while this time, it was his wife and the step-sister I never wanted to acknowledge in my family history, Adeline.I tried to keep my composure that was about to slip away, but I exhaled softly and spoke back to the woman who was staring at me with an incredulous look. "Miss, you're being insolent. How can you behave like this to my child?""Nicole, are you really alive?" Adeline asked another question, completely unconcerned about my previous words or her actions towards Richard, who was now near me.I gave her a cold stare. "What do you mean by that?”"Gosh, the fashion of the clothes you're wearing now is really modern." She still seemed uninterested in my words but instead took in my appearance from top to bottom with a condescending look, raising one eyebrow while chuckling. "Still, you look as boring as ever."I frowned, k
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 52
Adeline's POVI was still looking at the woman who bore a striking resemblance to my dead stepsister, taking in her face that was undoubtedly a perfect copy of Nicole, the damn woman I had hated for so long.She stood confidently, looking neither weak nor frightened like when I stood before her years ago when she was still alive with the Martinez Family. And her eyes, I didn't like seeing how that woman looked at me with an unwavering gaze.I hated her even more than Nicole. Memories of my inferiority complex when I first came to her house and saw every single one of her luxurious collection of items when we were teenagers, and her mother was still alive. I still remember her happy life and feel envious.I had finally managed to snatch everything I wanted from her eight years ago, and she had also been declared dead, but how could she still be alive and appear before me? Especially now that she was with the boy in her arms."How can she live like this?" I whispered so softly that they
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 53
Adeline's POVI received help from the staff of one of the shops, who happened to be walking out to stand up normally, balancing my fine leg with the sprained one for a few moments before asking her to leave so I could continue my way.I still felt annoyed by the actions of that woman who looked so much like Nicole. He paid absolutely no attention to me falling down and in pain and left me among the many people walking around.This was the first time I felt this kind of humiliation from another person, especially since that person was someone I had already tortured and should have ended up dead due to the pursuit of the payment killer that my mother and I had hired.We had already spent a lot of money, but it turned out that the woman returned a few years later in front of me, although I was not entirely sure of her identity."How can a dead person come back to life, right?" I muttered under my breath, still feeling the pain in my legs and arms.I shuffled to one of the available chai
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 54
Adeline's POVI bit my fingernails and exhaled, still thinking about that woman who looked like Nicole. I did say that I would find out about her, but I simply don't have the money to hire a private investigator and enough information other than the woman's name and appearance.There are so many people with the name Nicole, and I'm sure that she has a fairly market face that I'm not sure I can find her easily. The photo with her face was no longer in my possession because my mother and I had quickly removed all traces of her from our old house.I felt somewhat regretful, but it also felt strange not to have done so since the news of Nicole's death had been such happy news for my family. My stepfather even went straight to having fun, just as my mother and I went shopping to our heart's content.I was still deep in thought for a while until I heard Chris' voice, which surprised me. "What are you doing?" He said, making me turn my head to look at him.I had returned from my home to this
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 55
Nicole's POVA day had passed since I met Adeline. Seeing that woman's face in person after so long had passed made me upset, especially when I remembered her expression that always looked down on me and when she had fun torturing me.There were too many things that made me hold a grudge against her, but I knew that it was so long ago that I didn't need to think about it too much. Anyway, I had already begun to carry out my plan to erase that woman's dream of being surrounded by luxury for the rest of her life.I stood by my desk, leaning against it as I stared at the clock that seemed to be ticking above the door to my study. I had finished working at home with great difficulty, spending the morning reading some documents in the company of tea and light snacks.I sighed, gulping down my tea before putting it back down. "I hope to no longer meet that woman as long as my plan is still going."With that woman's presence alone, she actually wouldn't interfere with my plan since Adeline d
