Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 73
Nicole's POVIn the car, Richard was still holding my hand. His face looked worried. "Is Mom okay?" He asked.I couldn't answer right away. I was still trying to calm my anger that had almost returned after my encounter with the two people who had both mistreated me in the past, as well as their attitude towards Richard.I never wanted to show the violence that existed in domestic life to my young son. Even with his mature attitude that he would never do that someday, I didn't want to give him the idea that violence was one of the solutions to problems in any relationship.I want a happy life for my son, and I don't want to get involved in violence if it's not necessary, but that incident disturbed me.I finally exhaled after catching my breath, feeling much calmer than before and smiling as usual. "Mom is fine. Are you worried, Richard?""Yes, mom." He nodded, gazing at the top of my clothes, which still felt damp after being splashed by Adeline's water. "Mom's shirt is wet."I touch

Chris's POVI pulled Adeline from the car, forced her out of there, and quickly brought her into the house so she wouldn't try to run away and do something stupid like she had done at the playground.I had a hard time getting her out of there, especially when we were surrounded by so many people and without anyone to help me control her. She was still struggling in my grip, but I held her tightly when the door to the house finally opened."Let go! Let go of me, Chris! Why are you preventing me from going after that woman and teaching her a lesson? Aren't you willing to let me hurt that woman because she looks like Nicole?"She screamed and spoke in rapid succession, making my ears ache, but still let out her shrill voice when we finally entered the house, still struggling to break free. "You need to wake up, Chris! It's been more than eight years since Nicole was declared dead! You've been with me all this time, right!"I stopped my steps, turning around so that I could violently remo

Chris's POVI saw the video on the tab screen with trembling hands. What was written there was trivial, not something important that I would typically be interested in reading or just looking at for a long time like this, but it was different when both my name and my company were involved.I felt angry that this was happening again and finally looked at Adeline, who seemed to shudder when she saw my sharp gaze. "You-" I breathed, trying not to snap at her. "You've never once made me feel anything but ashamed. You are the worst woman."I found it strange that there didn't seem to be any news dropping Adeline's name anymore after her family's bankruptcy. That woman also didn't seem to be acting up except for a few times coming home at night after partying somewhere.I let it go as usual because that woman's safety and good image were not my priority as long as the company ran without interruptions, but this was different. She was getting into trouble again, embarrassing me and tarnishin

Chris's POVEvan came in to deliver his work as usual, but he seemed to be thinking about that woman, so he asked. "Did you not intend to cover up the news about your wife at all? There have been several other articles that have appeared, and it seems like the content is getting worse and widening everywhere."I had also looked at some of the articles Evan was talking about. The articles were all about Adeline, from her best days to her worst days, and were discussed after her name came to the top of internet searches.I made sure neither my name nor my company was there, so I didn't care much about it and focused more on my work, like now. Most of the articles aren't very important either, so in a while, I'm sure the discussion will pass even though all the traces of that woman's shameful photos will remain.I nodded, acting casually as if nothing important had happened. "The news about that has already spread. Let it go."I stared at the document in front of me, skimmed through a fe

Nicole's POVIn the past few days, I have been looking through the news about Adeline. The work of Key and his team was so good that even without searching for the news, Adeline's name was already at the beginning of the search engine, so it was not difficult to attract the attention of many people at once.The journalists had made the news very interesting. It wasn't just a recounting of events that anyone could tell, but also the addition of ridicule and demeaning Adeline that was so softened that no one who read it would notice, but it could cause a scene.For one of the articles that had a lot of comments that I was opening. There were thousands of comments under the article, but one comment caught my attention."Isn't she the one who snatched her sister's future husband? That woman is from the Martinez family, right?"Someone replied to her comment. "Oh, yes. I remember! It was one of the breaking news stories from a few years ago. How did it go?""If I'm not mistaken, not long a

Nicole's POV"What are you doing to me?" I asked angrily, having just realized from my shock that I had ended up in Chris' car.I tried to push him back out of the car, but he was much stronger than me and quickly made my efforts futile. No matter how determined I was, I would never reach half of his original strength and his size that surpassed mine.Chris was now holding my hand and indirectly forcing me to get into the car so he could sit next to me and close the door. He looked at me intently. "Please understand me, Miss Nicole. I won't take you anywhere. I just want to chat with you in this car."I looked around, trying to figure out if there was anything that could help me at this point, but now there was nothing visible in my eyes because I was too panicked.Everything was too fast for me to be as vigilant as usual. Chris can just show up out of nowhere, and he doesn't just let me go like he did a few days ago. It made me think that he might have discovered my identity and was

Chris's POVI saw that the car Nicole was driving was gone. I was in a strange mood, empty and sad because I no longer saw her. Even though she had rejected my presence several times, I couldn't help but feel happy every time I saw her.I looked down at my hands, looking at the few strands of Nicole's hair that I had managed to get by extreme means. As I pulled her into my car, I used my other hand to hold her head from hitting the corner of the vehicle and then simultaneously grabbed her hair without her noticing.I sighed, staring intently at the long strands of hair. "Now I am a villain," I muttered under my breath, not wanting to acknowledge Nicole's accusations that she had directed at me earlier.I was worried that she knew about my actions, but it turned out that she was referring more to my not giving up on finding her so that we could meet like this and apologize. What happened at the amusement park was a coincidence because I didn't even realize Adeline was following me.I r

Chris' POVWaiting for the answer from the DNA test made me feel uneasy, especially when Evan told me that there was a possibility that the man would receive news from there today about Nicole's true identity.I tried to remain patient during the wait, especially when I had to leave for the party organized by the STAR Association today. The party was on a dock far from the city center and would be held on a yacht explicitly settled for the party.I got ready, put on some official clothes much better than the ones I wore to the office, and headed downstairs. At that moment, I saw Adeline, who was also ready with a festive dress and makeup on her face, as if waiting for my arrival, and then looked back at me, who was staring at her silently."I know a party being held today by the STAR Association, Chris. I want to come there too." She said without hesitation.I frowned, not remembering if I had ever told her about this party, except for one thing she might have done without my knowledg

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
