Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 91
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
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 93
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
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 94
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
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 95
Nicole's POVI felt an overwhelming tension throughout my body, seeing a figure I didn't expect to meet in person at all, together with a woman who was younger than me but ignorant and foolish. I unconsciously clenched my hands into fists, not expecting to meet the old man after only watching him on my laptop screen.He still looked the same. Adeline looked at us, more precisely at Chris. "Chris! Mom!" She exclaimed with a smile before turning to look at me without giving any expression.The woman and the father walked closer and closer. My gaze focused on the old man who hadn't said anything but followed Adeline, who walked first.My heartbeat seemed to slow down when I saw him walking towards us. I remembered him as someone who didn't deserve to be missed for the rest of my life. He never doted on or loved me like a father would his child.I never remembered my happy childhood with him. There was only Mom and a few servants who accompanied me to play. He would just be busy with his
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 96
Nicole's POVI had just arrived at the front of the house, but my feelings were still a mess. Many things filled my mind, especially after simultaneously meeting the people I hated.I forgot what I said when I met them, but this messy feeling remained. Mainly, when my mind was focused on Chris, that man still affected me when I no longer had the same feelings.He made me feel all sorts of things but forced me to pay more attention to her than anyone else.While still preoccupied with my thoughts, I saw Richard, who was walking in the park. His hand was holding a rope around the neck of a robotic dog similar to a herder. Looking at its shape, it seemed like my son made the robot.Richard looked at me with a bright gaze, noticing my presence when he was previously paying more attention to his robot. "Mom!""Hi, Richard." I was slightly startled by his exclamation but automatically smiled when I saw him walk over to me with his robot that could walk smoothly. "You're doing tests on your
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 97
Adeline's POVI exhaled, feeling increasingly agitated after the long wait from earlier. I had been fiddling with my hands a while ago, counting the seconds and touching my fingers with each one, but now my feet were also twitching with the increasing impatience I felt.Still, my patience had its limits. I gritted my teeth, looking around while muttering under my breath. "Where is he? What's taking so long? I do not have much time to waste anymore."Nicole Duncan, who I'm sure is the same person as my useless stepsister, will be on top if I leave it at that. With that person around, I was sure I could shake her attitude, which always seemed confident and expensive.I never wanted to admit it, but I could see many changes in that woman's demeanor that turned a hundred and eighty degrees, especially from the wealth she shamelessly displayed every time we met. Nicole was wearing all those things I wanted but never got until now. Especially with the Martinez Family's bankruptcy.I tapped
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 98
Adeline's POVI tried to please myself by walking around. There wasn't much to look at as some of the dresses reminded me of that bitch, while others didn't look interesting enough to buy.I finally walked into one of the boutiques that looked promising. A staff member greeted me politely, and another immediately accompanied me to each clothing section. section of dresses that had recently been released and immediately caught my eye. None of the dresses were similar to that woman's, so I chose the prettiest one.I looked at the staff carrying my chosen dress with a satisfied smile. "I'm glad I still have the diamond necklace I haven't sold from the jewellery collection in my house. I'll be able to buy a fancy new dress."I couldn't stop feeling excited when I received the paper bag containing the dress that the boutique staff had prepared. I already imagined wearing it to a party or an important event where many people would notice me.I muttered under my breath as I walked around aft

Nicole's POVI looked at my father, who had been watching me since earlier. I ignored it at first, but after a while, I got curious and finally asked him. "Is there something you want to talk to me about, Father?"He shook his head, smiling slightly with eyes that seemed to sparkle. "No, no. I'm just happy to see that you've been in good spirits lately."I smiled back at him, although I also thought that my father's attitude was quite strange. I didn't feel as excited as he said, just as usual. The things my father said were even more applicable to him, who somehow looked radiant.Of course, I felt happy about whatever my father went through because I knew he could behave like that now. After the betrayal of his old friend, I felt that my father became much more reserved and only focused on his work, but now he's become better than that.I finally changed the subject. "Is Richard with that man, Father?"He nodded.Lately, my son has been spending a lot of time with Chris. It was usual
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 344
Nicole's POVI was already in my study, realizing that the thing that happened a moment ago was really happening.The things I felt and the attitude I showed the man... I touched my chest, feeling the pounding of my heart that always became unusual whenever I couldn't control myself, especially when it came to that man. Chris.I didn't know what was wrong with me anymore, feeling messed up and not knowing what to do to fix what had happened."No," I said, with a complementary slap to snap myself out of my current situation. "I need to focus."It wasn't time for me to dwell on whatever feelings were surrounding me and dwell on them. Work was waiting for me, and I couldn't put it off any longer for any reason.I slapped my cheeks repeatedly. Only then could I take my work seriously.I spent most of my days staying out of that man's reach. Sometimes, Chris was at my house for some business, but I still avoided him and didn't show myself to him as much as I could. When I came home, I aske
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 343
Chris' POV"Chris!"A shouting voice rang in my ears. I turned my head and saw a woman running towards me. She immediately hugged me tightly. Smelling the fragrance of her body so close to me and catching a glimpse of her face, I felt certain that the woman in this embrace was Nicole.I looked in the direction the woman had previously run and found several people scattered around the streets, shouting and moving away from each other. This was paving the way for a tree snake that seemed to have escaped from one of the shops in this row of streets.Not far from the snake, two staff members who seemed to be from the shop could be seen chasing the escaping animal with nets and ropes. They looked tense, following the slithering animal's movements on the hot street.The atmosphere was definitely noisy, but I could only feel the fear of the woman who was in my arms and was giving me a tight hug without any warning as if I was her life preserver and didn't want to be let go by her anytime soo
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 342
Chris' POVI felt that my relationship with Nicole was fine, even better than a few weeks ago, even though she sometimes tried to ignore my presence around her.She was becoming more talkative with me about some mundane things that I didn't know would happen so soon. She didn't kick me out anymore, even if I went over her limit, which would usually make her upset and follow her emotions.I still remember when she acted shy when receiving my cheek kiss and her anger at the charity event when I kissed her on the lips. My reactions to those two things were quite different. One was closer to negative because I was in a hurry, while the other was closer to positive, even though they were close in time.Perhaps my thoughts on our current situation were correct.She probably doesn't hate me as much as she used to, and I can also do things that I could never do even if I wanted to. For now, I won't do anything more than the usual touching of a young couple, but even that already makes me happ
Ex-Lover's Regret CHAPTER 341
Chris' POVI returned Nicole's widened gaze, feeling a little pleased and proud of myself. "I know, you must be admiring me, right, Nicole?""Are you showing yourself off?" She snorted, changing her previously unseen gaze to what it was now, slightly sharp. "Why would I admire you sitting down?"I noticed the woman who looked a little sullen. I still don't know the reason, but she seemed to be annoyed that I accidentally made her emotional with my out-of-context words.Anyway, I was happy with her attention and unconsciously said whatever came to my mind.I cleared my throat softly, returning the conversation. "If you try, you can do it too, Nicole. Cooperation with Mr. Divo." The woman was still looking sulky. "You might be able to get this deal done first.""I can't." The woman's father suddenly spoke up, looking serious. "If Nicole does that, it will be dangerous for her."The woman seemed to turn her attention to her father, frowning as she asked. "What makes it dangerous for me,

Nicole's POVI knew what he meant when he dropped me off after our accidental lunch. My gaze was drawn to the scene in front of me, inside my house, which should have consisted of my father, Richard, Key, and the servants, but this time it was different.The man and my two and only family were in the living room. My son looked relaxed while my father chatted smoothly with the man. The three seemed familiar, even to the point of not noticing my presence, and had already been welcomed by the servants in our house.Perhaps I stared too long. My father turned to me, as did the other two. They had quite similar happy expressions, which made me frown."Nicole, you just arrived?" My father asked by way of greeting. "I thought you'd be home a little later because of the work you've been piling up. Key told me."I ignored my father's words, paying more attention to the calm-looking man mingling among them. He noticed my gaze and smiled politely, but I could feel slightly annoyed by his natural

Nicole's POVI paused to look at the man's face, especially his smile, which made me feel like I was about to lose focus. I didn't let that go on for too long and pushed the bouquet of flowers at him, waking him up to something.His eyes widened slightly. He put a little distance between us, letting me stand evenly, though his hands were still on my waist, and said casually. "Oh yes, I wanted to give you this bouquet of flowers."I gazed at the bouquet of flowers she handed to me. The arrangement was pretty, consisting of only three flowers, but the colors of the flowers were well integrated and complemented each other. The skill of the bouquet arranger could be recognized. I could also smell the fragrance of the bouquet he gave me.At this point, my focus completely disappeared, especially as I tried to deal with the predicament right in front of me.It's been too long since I've experienced this, and it felt so different when I was with Matthew. After all, this man in front of me di

Nicole's POVI exhaled after they left, then turned my gaze to her. "Why are you talking like that? Do you wish for me to be your lover?""A lover is not a wish-"I cut him off. "Don't you know any shame? I've rejected you many times, but you keep acting like that."We stared at each other. I didn't know what she planned to do to take this path again. I felt quite relieved when he only focused on my son, familiarizing himself so that their relationship became much better than before.But that day, as well as her behavior today, was like a repeat of what he had done a few months ago, even worse with him latest act that I didn't expect her to do.He had gone so far that I could have sued him had Richard not liked him like he was. I clenched my fists, looking at the man's gaze, which seemed to soften but still spoke insolently."I am indeed shameless. No matter how much time passes, I will still want you, Nicole. Having you as my life companion has become my way of life." He said, making
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 337
Nicole's POVI didn't know we could end up like this. I was having lunch with Chris, just the two of us, without Richard, who would usually mediate between us and familiarize himself with each of us to fill the silence.A while ago, he called me while I was still in the office and working. He only spoke briefly, as if telling me, without waiting for my reply."Mom, let's have lunch together. I'll send you the restaurant's address; don't be late." My son hung up immediately.I stared at my phone for a while but immediately prepared to leave after receiving the message that the address was already from him. I sent a reply message to inquire about his whereabouts. Still, he has yet to read or reply immediately, as usual.I left it at that, feeling that Richard must also be on his way to the restaurant we were heading to for lunch.Within moments, I arrived at the restaurant, which was quite crowded. There were a few office workers and students who were also having lunch, but among them a
