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

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

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

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

Adeline's POVI felt scared, alone in the police station that seemed to be busy with their work, as well as several other people who seemed to be arrested like me. I fiddled with my fingers with an uneasy feeling, looking for a delicate part that I could pick off my fingernails and remove to distract myself.This was the first time I had ever been to a police station. In my entire life, I've never been in a place like this for as long as I can remember. I looked at the policeman who had come to arrest me earlier, pretending to be brave despite feeling uneasy. "Sir, I... I want to call my parents. You guys are wrongly arrested. This is slander!" I asserted in a loud tone.The policeman looked at me calmly before turning to his computer screen. "We are not making arrests based on slander, as you say, Ms. Adeline. All the evidence regarding this murder case has been obtained, and you are included in it."I shook my head, furrowing my brow as I thought that it was impossible. It had been

Chris'bPOVI read the news about the case involving Adeline and her mother. A photo of the two was displayed, as well as a headline stating that Adeline allegedly killed her step-sister with the help of her mother.'Their case is still under our investigation', read a statement from one of the police. 'They have been arrested, and we will investigate the case to the best of our ability to achieve justice for the late Nicole Martinez.'Many people commented on the late handling of a long-over case. Still, some found it interesting because they were curious about what was behind the opening of a murder case that was initially thought to be just an accident.After searching, there was finally another article that said that the police also had evidence that could reveal the crime of the mother and son. There was only one line of the article that caught my attention.'The evidence is so clear that they can already be confirmed guilty.' Another party from the police stated. The rest were a

Chris' POVI heard the sound of Adeline's small laughter, which immediately brought me to my senses after thinking about her words. She looked happy to see me affected by her words, but I didn't let her be for too long.I still held her hand tightly, looking at her sharply. "You and I are different, Adeline. You are a demon. How could you kill the woman you've lived with for so long so easily.""Huh, are you replying to me now?" She looked at me in surprise. "You think you're a saint, Chris? We're all the same for ruining someone's life. Why do you think Nicole ended up dead like that? It's because of you too!"Adeline came closer, staring at me fearlessly despite the grimace of her hand that I had re-tightened. She smiled with raised eyebrows. "You have to let me out of here, Chris. The sooner, the better. You don't want me to remind you of what you did to Nicole, do you?"I was getting angry at this shameless woman in front of me. How could I be married to a woman who was the devil

Nicole's POVThe news about Adeline committing a crime a few years ago spread. Many media outlets aired and publicised it on various websites, but I didn't read any news about it.Instead of checking the news as usual, I was now pouring one of my finest collections of drinks into a glass, watching how the almost dark brown liquid filled my glass halfway before I gulped it down in one searing gulp.The strong scent of alcohol pierced my nose, as did the taste sensation that was much stronger than my usual drink, but one that I desperately needed at this moment. I don't know what happened to me, and I didn't feel anything after my plan finally went through."Is something wrong with me?" I muttered to myself, not understanding the strange feeling I was having.There was no joy, satisfaction or euphoria when I heard about it. Rather, it was empty and made me feel gloomy and unpleasant. I went to my private bar after finishing my work, alone and without any music to accompany me to drink.

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
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 388
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
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 387
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
