Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 87
Chris' POVI was with Nicole. I saw her laughing, and we held hands, walking near the café we had visited. I laughed when I saw how happy she looked as she listened to my words, and then, a moment later, she stopped walking.I looked at her confused but smiled when I saw her bright smile. "What's wrong?""I love you, Chris." She said.Before I could say anything to her, I woke up from what felt like an authentic event. I felt my breath catch, still processing the dream that had deceived me.I shifted my position to sitting to take in my surroundings, which were just a room instead of the streets around the café and the absence of Nicole next to me.Cold sweat poured down my face. I felt uneasy and rubbed my face roughly so that I wouldn't think about the dream that felt real again, as well as the happy feeling when I was with that woman.I groaned softly, cursing the strange dream silently and muttering under my breath. "What was I thinking?" Dreaming of something like that so vividly

Adeline's POV"As you said, this woman's face resembles Nicole's. How could that be?" my mom said, still looking at the photo of the woman in the article she was reading.After being kicked out of Chris's house, I returned to Martinez's house as my only place to go home. I only have this house. Although I hated the current house, it was much better to be here with my mother, who also disliked Nicole and tell the woman I still suspected to be her directly rather than trying to prove her identity alone.I nodded. "I don't know either, Mom, but she insists she's part of the Duncan Family. If you met that woman, I'm sure that you'd recognise her as a bitch, too, from that annoying look in her eyes."Most of the time, her gaze looked frightened or resigned whenever I tortured that woman, but there were times when Nicole would suddenly become rather bold and unapologetic and look at both me and my mother with a challenging gaze.At that moment, my useless step-sister seemed to be getting m

Chris' POVI saw Nicole hugging a man, kissing with his hands holding the corner of her face. I can see their clashing lips with closed eyes, seemingly enjoying their kiss...Unlike the previous dream, this time, I couldn't move from where I was. My feet seemed to be planted in place when I saw them still engrossed in their intimate activities with each other.Here, I could only look at the man's face angrily, recognising his figure, which I immediately recognised despite not having seen him for a long time. He is Nicole's ex.I woke up with a gasp and tears already dripping from the corners of my eyes. My head was spinning, feeling frustrated that I didn't get a chance to kick him out or immediately separate him from Nicole while they were kissing."Damn it, damn it!" I cursed harshly, clenching my fists so tightly that they stung, but I didn't care.My dream this time was so unpleasant that I didn't want to dream anything else in my sleep. What I saw there was completely real even t

Nicole' POV"I'm so glad to see you again, Richard. You seem to be doing well while you're here." Edwin smiled at my son as he picked him up. He walked over to the nearest bench so he could sit down and sat Richard on his lap.Richard nodded, returning his grandfather's smile. "Yes, Grandpa. I find it quite exciting here because I can do more of what I want.""Really?" Edwin raised an eyebrow in surprise, looking at Richard, who for once seemed to be acting like a boy his age. "Tell Grandpa what you've been doing that's been fun while you've been here, Richard."Richard told him about his activities from the beginning of our move here, as well as some of the events he attended with me or just alone with Key until recently when I was busy attending other vital events. He looked excited, as did my father, who responded favourably to his story."I made a lot of robots, Grandpa. Among them, there were also some that I made for Mom and one of them succeeded in making the person who was Mom

Chris' POVI had completed the divorce with ease. It took only five days for Adeline's name to finally be erased from my family's roster, though during those days, Adeline never failed to contact me or see me either at home or the office.I asked some security staff to keep that woman away from the office, asking them to keep an eye on the ground floor for her and kick her out as soon as they saw her. didn't want to see her anymore, to talk to her, or to see her.I had said that Evan would ultimately take care of the woman's arrival. After arranging it like that, I felt more relieved and saw less of her and heard less about her if I didn't find out first.I felt more relaxed, walking to the car that had arrived to sit in the back seat, but a woman suddenly came and blocked my way. Adeline. She looked breathless with her eyes glaring at me."Chris, you can't do this to me. Divorce is impossible. We've been married for eight years!" She said with a little shout and then pleaded with m

Chris' POVAt first, I wanted to ignore what my mom said. She wouldn't stop after explaining every candidate she told me at a glance, not to mention the document I would open when agreeing to talk together.At this time, I had already resumed my steps after responding to my mom's previous remark, but I stopped and turned back, looking at my mom, who was holding her waist. "What are you talking about?""You're not listening to Mom talk?" my mom asked, making me shake my head. I deliberately didn't listen to my mother because I was too lazy to linger.My mom sighed. "That woman, Nicole. I found out about her after seeing various news stories. If I'm not mistaken... her full name is Nicole Duncan. I believe her father is Mr. Edwin." She looked at me again but didn't say anything, seeing my reaction before continuing her words."Well, after seeing that woman…she really looks like Nicole.”I still did not open my mouth, or rather, I could not answer my mother's unmistakable question. I did

Nicole's POVI read the news of Chris and Adeline's divorce on my cell phone, which had caused quite a stir, almost equaling the mess she had made at the socialite party. In some of the news stories, a lot of people bashing Adeline, saying that she was too bad and that it was only fitting that they ended up divorcing.As I scrolled through the news, there wasn't a single comment badmouthing Chris. Almost all of them were focused on blasting Adeline with all the bad news about her and even feeling sorry for the guy for wasting his time with a woman like that.Naturally, Chris had always prioritized his excellent name and his company over any negativity in the public or his circles. I turned off the car park for a while and got out, walking into a jewelry store that used diamonds as the primary and dominant material in its collection."Welcome." Someone was talking, but I just walked and stopped at one of the display cases with some jewelry that caught my eye.I looked at all the jewel

Nicole's POVI rubbed my face, no longer having to face Nova after being in the VVIP room. I was immensely enjoying my time inside, but when I came out, I started to worry and looked around the store for the old lady, but she was nowhere to be seen.I received the paper bag containing the jewelry I bought after paying. The staff smiled kindly. "Thank you for shopping at our store, Miss. Please come again." She bowed politely.I didn't reply, turned away from the staff, and left the store. I felt like going home and resting, but I also thought about going to the office to finish my other work. Before I could decide, a car pulled up not far from me, and the door opened.I thought everything was done with Nova, who was invisible before my eyes, but now I saw Chris, who stepped out of the car. The man's face looked hard, looking at the diamond shop I had just visited with a gaze that felt piercing.He seemed to be here to pick up his mother. Chris tried to call his mom again while I looke

Edwin's POGIn my father's study, I was reading a book he recommended. He was also reading for a while, but then he put the book on the desk and looked at me."What do you think about our new project?" he asked, slightly serious but also relaxed.I moved the book out of sight to look at him. "The things they're doing are right. I can't find any flaws."He nodded. The report he had shown me this morning followed the book he had put down. It was about the business collaboration between the Duncan Family and the Thompson Family, with Benny and I as the chief executives, while our father was the funder and in charge.Although the two of us had not completely taken over the family business, our fathers had agreed to involve their family successors in this newly started business. Aside from the family interest, both of them said it was important for our future.I had no problem with that. After all, my father had taught me everything about our family business since I was a child and other i

Catherine's POVAfter receiving the gift from Edwin, I was now only with Benny and his personal driver driving. The man sat down with me and then noticed something was different about my attitude.He rested his chin on one of my hands, which was still clasped tightly. "What are you holding on to? You didn't let go at all....""This." I showed him the bracelet.His eyes look wide. "Isn't that the jewelry you saw earlier? I thought you didn't buy it.""I didn't buy it."Considering Benny was also aware of what I was doing while looking at the jewelry, perhaps my liking for this bracelet was too obvious.My gaze was fixed on the bracelet, and I thought about how the man who had left the festival first had unhesitatingly bought me this jewelry and given it to me without anyone knowing. I don't know what that man was thinking when he bought me this, but the pounding of my heart was starting to feel too clear in my chest.The car stopped. I blinked, realizing that I had arrived in front of

Catherine's POV"Thank you for buying me a drink, Duncan." I smiled, accepting the glass with a lid made of solid cardboard from his hand, and I immediately held the glass with both hands.He just nodded and passed the other glass to Benny.I took a sip of the relatively warm drink. It turned out to be a delicious chocolate drink. I felt relieved and happy. My legs even wiggled without me fully realizing it.Night had almost fallen, so it was starting to get cold. I remembered the embarrassing incident a few days ago when my skirt got caught, but in the end, the man came back to help me by giving me a warm drink after we had walked quite a distance.A loud snort was heard from Benny. "Why are you buying me a fruity and cold drink? I also want a warm chocolate drink like you guys." He protested.I looked at the two men who stood facing each other with glasses in their hands. Still, a noticeable smoke could be seen from Benny's slightly open mouth, probably the effect of the drink he ha

Catherine's POVI was mesmerized by the festival atmosphere surrounding me. I've always liked things like this: simple and fun stuff without having to always care about manners or conversations that are always serious and filled with business or politics.Many booths were arranged according to their types, ranging from games, shops selling various things, and other equally entertaining booths. My gaze stopped at one of the nearby stands for jewelry of sale.My steps halted when I arrived in front of it. I looked at the various kinds of jewelry displayed and touched a few that I wanted to take a closer look at. They all looked pretty, but I didn't really want to buy them either; I just wanted to look around.I didn't have much jewelry, but my mother added to it according to my needs, so I didn't feel the need to do the same.A person who seemed to be the salesgirl watched me without saying much but then said to me after a while."Don't you intend to buy the jewelry, Miss? I think the b

Catherine's POVI was always with Benny and Edwin. I felt happy because I was finally able to make a new friend again, and it was a guy I initially thought was quiet and cold.At first, Benny and Edwin always argued for whatever reason, but in the end, they always accompanied me wherever I went. We were like a unique combination, from three different majors and different personalities.I heard rumors about us hanging out, going to our respective classes or the cafeteria."Look, she can get two handsome guys simultaneously," whispered one of the students.His friend replied. "She's so lucky. I never even managed to get close to Edwin Duncan....""She's luckier because she's close to Benny Thompson. That guy is really nice and friendly."They said that and then talked about one of the guys I was with, who was probably my boyfriend.One of them spoke up again. "Isn't that obvious? His girlfriend must be Benny. They've been in a relationship for a long time.""Hm, I agree."There were som

Catherine's POVI still felt uncomfortable walking on campus. Aside from my aching feet, my father's words before I was allowed to leave for the campus with our family's private driver also bothered me.I was happy with my friendship with Edwin and my friendship with Benny, which lasted longer than that. Both of them were friends to me, but my father always made our relationship seem like a transaction, trying to talk to them for the benefit of our family.He said that each of them would greatly help me prove myself in the Varma Family. Our relationship would make me valuable and not the only useless woman in our family, while all the things I had done before were meaningless in my father's eyes.I felt annoyed that my father shouldn't be behaving like that towards me, but also unable to do anything to stop it. As Edwin said, I was still not strong and had to extricate myself with the help of the allies that had just started from the man himself.My sigh escaped on its own, but after

Catherine's POVI had come out of the toilet and looked around the party room for Edwin and Benny, but they were nowhere to be seen.I could find my father easily, still chatting with some important people intimately, but the two men were nowhere to be seen. It was as if they had disappeared or were hiding very well so as not to be found by me.I recalled Benny's face, which didn't look too good before they left together, curling my lip and mumbling, "What is that guy going to do? That's not what I'm thinking about, is it?"Before going to the restroom, I heard the man wanted to talk to Edwin, but I wasn't sure. I'm currently feeling uncomfortable as I'm still searching for them among the crowd. That man might have misunderstood my relationship with Edwin.He was a very close friend, a really good friend who had been with me for so long that we were like brothers, but he didn't feel that way. He liked me, and I always pushed him away so our friendship wouldn't end.He always helped an

Benny's POVI faced Edwin. We were now on the veranda where I had previously seen him and Catherine take turns appearing.I don't know when they got this close. Still, I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw them enter the party room from the same veranda and then talk to the woman's father as usual.The man spoke to me first, bringing me back to reality. "What's wrong? Is there a business matter you want to talk about?"I looked at the man, knowing that he was asking me about our conversation when we first met. I also remembered that my father knew about it first, about Edwin attending the same university I was going to with Catherine.My father and that man's family had an inter-company partnership. I don't know when exactly such a thing happened, but it seemed quite a while ago from what my father said about the man I knew even by name."You must respect Edwin Duncan, Benny, " my father said. You're the same age, but his achievements are countless over the past few years, not to

Catherine's POVEdwin was still next to me. He exhaled while his face looked unfriendly and cold as usual. Still, even with all that, the man did not immediately deny my words aloud or dismiss them with ridicule.He didn't look at me but clearly spoke to me when he finally opened his mouth and spoke with his friend. "So you consider me an ally."I nodded.All this time, I had only thought of him as an annoying guy. He knows his position well and sometimes puts obvious boundaries on others. I didn't think he could make himself any friendlier than the people at the party or the students on campus, but he wasn't as cold as I thought.He had done me a favour, and I also felt quite comfortable when talking to the man who was always straightforward. Nothing felt fake in our friendship, which he had yet to fully acknowledge, so I felt he could be my ally."I feel that we are getting closer. So, Duncan, if there's anything I need, you should do me a favour." I smiled. "Whatever it is."The ma
