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

Nicole's POVTwo days went by quickly. I was about to head to a meeting this morning, a shareholder meeting that I had avoided attending for quite some time. Richard was next to me. He touched my hand lightly, so I turned to him."Mom, are you okay now?" Richard asked curiously, looking closely at my face to see how I was doing.I smiled, rubbing his cheek lightly as I said. "Of course, Richard. Mom is fine. This kind of thing is not a big problem that should make you feel bad, but instead, it makes you stronger."I was worried that I would run into Chris again today. He's a troublesome person because he doesn't just let go of someone who has made him curious, so I'm sure that when we meet, he will come back to talk to me.But I don't want to make Richard worry. This is a problem that I have to handle alone as the boy's mother and only parent. He just needs to be by my side safely and comfortably all the time as my only child."Alright, Mom." Richard nodded, tightening our grip as we

Nicole's POVChris took me to a café still in the same place as the shareholders' meeting. The café wasn't too crowded, so it was just us sitting across from each other, one couple clinging to each other and one other person who was a visitor.I silently sighed, thinking about my decision to finally follow the man's wishes. He was too pushy, so I had no choice but to refuse if I still wanted him to stay away instead of clinging or tying me up in a suffocating manner."Are you sighing?" He asked out of the blue.I answered him casually, not wanting to admit what I had done that he somehow found out about. Usually, that guy was very tight-lipped and didn't care about anyone. "Just the wind."A waiter finally delivered our order. He put down the coffee that looked like it had been served nicely before leaving. I looked at the man who lifted the cup and blew into it slowly before drinking it.I followed Chris because I didn't want to hear any more words that I was the Nicole he used to kn

Nicole's POVI walked away from Chris without looking back, trying to keep my steps upright as long as I was within his line of sight. I turned into a blind spot where he wouldn't be able to see me and then leaned against the nearest wall.I exhaled, feeling still shaky from my encounter with Chris, which made me have to maintain a calm and firm demeanor when speaking to him, even though it was tough.My feelings were chaotic, mixed with lingering anger from memories.He had treated me coldly on the day of our wedding, leaving me at the altar alone with many eyes watching us. But how dare he show a different attitude when we met again as if he missed the old me.I touched my chest, which felt tight. "If he can be like this now, why did he do something like that before? Did he not love me enough to leave me alone back then?"I clenched my fists, turned my anger to the wall I was leaning against, and exhaled again. I thought about it several times, but I couldn't find the right reason t

Nicole's POVI wasn't happy about having to see the man again in such a short time, and it was even worse when Chris pointed at Richard and seemed to recognize my son, who had followed me out of the car, standing next to me and holding my hand.Richard tightened our grip, answering the man's question with confidence. "Of course, we know each other. "She's my mom."Chris paused, looking at Richard intently before looking at me for a moment and then back at the boy, who didn't say anything more afterward. I paused, too, more worried that the man might find out that my son was a part of him, too.Edwin and I had done everything we could to hide Richard's identity all this time, but the man's presence and my son's confidence in the security of our identities were very high. It's a natural thing. I shouldn't be worried either, but I still felt terrible, like something was stuck inside me when I thought of the dire possibilities that could happen.I knew that the entirety of that feeling wa

Chris's POVTwo days have passed, and now it's late, and the rain can be heard pouring from my room. I've gotten a lot of work done over the past two days, but I can't sleep at all, given all the things I've been through.I looked up at the ceiling of the room, thinking of a woman who had been occupying my mind for a few days but had gotten worse after our last meeting, the shareholders' meeting. Nicole, who claimed to be someone I never knew.She was very stern and much colder than the woman I knew. That woman also never wanted to tell me her last name despite my several attempts to persuade her. Simply Nicole was all she wanted me to know as her name. However, no matter how much you think about it or how long you think about it, the faces of Nicole and Nicole Martinez, whom I have known for a long time, are very similar to each other.Only one thing stands out that distinguishes these two Nicoles from each other. Nicole, with no last name, had a genius child. The little boy was sti

Chris' POVI was in my office in the office when Evan entered my room. He walked over and bowed politely to me before saying something very abrupt."Mr. Chris, hasn't Miss Nicole's body been found yet?" He asked, seemingly asking a seemingly mundane question.I immediately stopped my work, looking at her with a severe look. "Yes, Nicole's body has never been found. From the results of the existing investigation, she may have been burned to death from the explosion of a huge car engine."I recalled the news footage of a blackened car frame that was barely intact. When I checked it out in person, the car frame wasn't even in one piece anymore; instead, it consisted of charred pieces that would leave blackened traces on my fingers.I still can't imagine how hot the fire was at the time of the explosion, which left nothing of Nicole. Everything that wasn't of a complex, solid material ended up as ashes that were indistinguishable from each other."Sir, what if Miss Nicole had survived the

Chris' POVI finally arrived at Nicole's grave, which I visited for the first time. Eight years ago, I wasn't present when her funeral was held, but I knew the location of her grave from the invitation that the Martinez Family had distributed to some influential families and my family as their son-in-law.I looked at the tomb in front of me and noticed its unworthy state. "The tomb is so unkempt."I could see that there were a lot of weeds around the grave, and the wooden carving for the head of the grave was already looking weathered and starting to crumble. The name Nicole Martinez that was written there was already starting to fade—not at all what it looked like in the first news report.Now, dried flower stalks are seen mixed with fallen leaves, never cleaned up since who knows when with so much organic waste piled up on the grave. The stones around the grave are also mossy and almost fused with the ground.After seeing this and thinking about the woman and her family while she wa

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
