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

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,

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

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

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
