Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 60
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

Chris's POVI didn't want to go with Adeline when I went to my mom's house, but I couldn't possibly let her go alone when she had shown up at the office and was with me all day without making any trouble.That woman just stayed in my room and looked at her cell phone while I worked, not saying a word when I asked her to be quiet and obediently waiting in the office while I was in a meeting. I didn't get any chaos reports from the guard staff, so that woman actually kept her promise not to make trouble."Shall we go?" The woman buckled her seat belt after we entered my car, smiling at me, but I didn't answer and just went straight for it.I didn't know what my mother was planning to do by taking us out to dinner without anything in particular that I could figure out. Today wasn't a birthday, wedding anniversary, or anything else that I wouldn't normally pay special attention to.It was Evan who told me indirectly about his suspicions by questioning me, but I didn't answer either becaus

Adeline's POVI stopped crying when I heard Chris's words about considering our divorce. I couldn't let that happen and pretended to be confused, not understanding his obvious words."What do you mean, Chris?" I asked, wiping my tears with the nearest cloth and looking up at him. "You know that divorce is out of the question in our long marriage."I didn't know what Nova would do to get her son to willingly follow her wishes, but I knew that the relationship between the two of them wasn't very good either. Not much different from me, the man who had been my husband for eight years had always been cold to his mother.Persuading Nova was not the way to go for this matter, but Chris had always been the main decision-maker in our marital relationship. He wouldn't do anything against his will.As a result of the marriage not being what I had imagined it to be, I came to know some of Chris's attitudes that became more obvious as we lived together. It was much better when I didn't know him a
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 65
Adeline's POVI've been feeling terrible for the past few days. I never got out of my room and just spent the day drinking to the limit of what I could handle. I didn't want to go out and look my best as usual, only to be ignored by Chris.You see, it's been more than two days since I've left my room, but he hasn't even bothered to find out how I'm feeling. I had already finished more than three bottles of wine by myself, and my stomach was filled with nothing but last night's dinner.I tried not to think about the worst possibilities that Nova talked about and how he looked at me when discussing the divorce, but they kept coming up unbidden. They seemed to be a nightmare that haunted me into this state of restlessness."I told you, leave me alone!" I cried out in anger when a servant attempted to take away the wine glass I was using, and it ended up shattering when I failed to hold it properly.The servant looked scared when she saw my angry gaze and accepted my slap. I vented my fru

Adeline's POVI just want to have fun tonight. Although the party was held in a nightclub, this club was different from the cheap clubs scattered around the city. Not just anyone could enter and participate in this party except an official member or trusted acquaintance of the guest.All of the guests were not random people but people who took influential places in conglomerate families, companies, and even a city without employment ties and were already at the stage of high society whose level was no longer playing games.I don't think Nicole is fit to attend this party at all. "She shouldn't be here," I grumbled under my breath, glaring at the woman who was confidently standing next to the leader of our socialite group.That woman should be somewhere else, a place where no one would hear her presence and would have absolutely no effect. Besides, this place was not at all suitable for her, who was in the lower class, like when she was a servant in the Martinez Family's house.Nicole,
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 67
Adeline's POVI immediately hugged myself, making sure to get my arms around my dress, which had already separated from the straps around my shoulders, revealing my bra and stomach so that I might as well expose myself in front of the other women.Feelings of embarrassment and shock all rolled into one. I had no idea what I was in for. I hadn't even done anything but stand up from my seat. There were no sharp objects around me, which was the main cause of my dress ending up like this when it was fine before.In my moment of confusion, I could see Nicole grinning at me. My thoughts stopped for an instant, then turned to anger at knowing what was really happening to me. All of this must be the work of that woman who somehow managed to take the first step to humiliate me."Are you alright, Adeline? How did your dress end up like this?" The woman who invited me to the party asked, looking concerned about the sorry state of my dress. I couldn't even let go of the handle of my dress if I di
