Chapter 23

Aвтор: Oh, Well
The next second, Noel's car experienced a strong impact, and the car window’s shards flew everywhere.

Blood gushed out from him like a fountain.

He felt emptiness before the intense pain came.

Before Noel lost consciousness, he used the last of his energy to yank off the necklace around his neck.

A song was still playing in his car, which had been crushed to pieces.

It sang, "I had you before. It pains me so much now."

Stella found out about Noel's accident eight hours later.

Their family was still at the old mansion that night.

The girls were already asleep and still muttering about wanting to put away a piece of cake.

Eric and Stella thought they were still thinking about the castle cake and were discussing if they should order another one the next day. That was when Eric got the call.

His smiling face immediately turned grim as he quickly put on his clothes.

"My big brother said that Noel has been in an accident. I'm going to the hospital to check on him. Stay here with t

  • Is This Regret?   Chapter 24

    After Noel's death, Eric would take the children to the old mansion every week to accompany Old Mr Chilton.Everyone knew never to mention his name again.As for the girls, all they knew was that Noel had gone somewhere far away and had no idea when he would be back.Every time Eric brought home cake, they would keep a piece in the fridge.Time washed away the sadness at home.As the girls grew older, they got even more playful. The house would be a mess if one did not pay attention to them.Stella woke up from her afternoon nap and saw them hiding in a corner sneakily. They were flipping through something.She was about to give them a scare when they ran over to her while waving pieces of paper in the air."Mommy, who's Star?"Stella was taken aback. She realized the paper in their hands looked familiar.Those were the love letters Eric had hidden.She had tried looking for them in the bedroom for the past seven years they were married but to no avail. In the end, it was th

    The winter wind was sharp and freezing.Stella was standing alone on the empty rooftop. She was in a daze.She had no idea what she was doing there and wondered why she had seen the three people she least wanted to see after blinking.Sophie was holding the hand of a little boy on her left while her right hand was buried in Noel's pocket. She walked toward Stella arrogantly."Where's your precious little daughter?"Where's your precious little daughter?"Those words were like a nightmare echoing in Stella's mind.She looked around helplessly as she tried to find any trace of her daughter, but there was no clue of life around her.Stella looked up and spotted a silver necklace flashing with a chilling light. It blinded her and hurt her eyes.She was forced to shut her eyes.When she opened her eyes again, she had left her dream behind and returned to reality.The sun was just rising, and the light shone on the calendar.It was December 27th today.Her daughter was kidnapped

  • Is This Regret?   Chapter 1

    The first thing Stella Judd did after she was reborn was kneel in front of her parents to beg sincerely, "Mom, Dad, if I have to marry into the Chilton family, I want to marry Eric!"Her parents were surprised. "Don't you like Noel, Stella? Don't you remember that Eric is Noel's uncle?"Something flashed across Stella's eyes as she was reminded of a memory. She spoke sadly, "I know what will happen if I continue liking Noel. I can't ever be with him."Mom, Dad, I've never asked you for anything. As a heiress who has enjoyed a luxurious life in this family for as long as I can remember, I know it's my responsibility to uphold this marriage alliance. This is my only request, so I hope you can agree to it."Stella's head turned red from hitting on the floor as she bowed. Her parents sighed softly and pulled her up. "If you've made your decision, we'll visit the Chiltons to talk about this. Eric Chilton is powerful and highly ranked. He might not agree to marry you. You have to be pr

    Stella went to the hospital to take care of her wound after leaving the bar.When she returned home, she gathered everything related to Noel and sealed them in a box.Her parents returned home just in time to see this and were taken aback."Stella, have you really let go of your feelings for Noel? Are you sure you don't like him anymore?"Her parents felt relieved to see her nod without hesitation. They said with a smile, "That's good to know. Eric is busy working overseas. We and the Chiltons got on a video call with him to discuss the marriage."Eric is much more mature and dignified than Noel. He suits you better, but he has a reputation for having very high standards, which is why we never considered him. We thought he wouldn't agree to it, but he said yes very quickly."Stella's eyes turned red immediately.She knew Eric would agree to the marriage when she first made the decision.Most of the younger generation were afraid of him due to the generational gap, and Stella wa

    Stella locked herself in her room for the next few days. She refused to leave.After her parents found out about Noel's ridiculous actions, they were grateful that they did not marry Stella to him. They insisted on going to the Chiltons, but Stella finally left her room to stop them.She did not want to cause any trouble when the wedding date was near.After talking her parents out of it, she fetched a design from her room.Stella did not lock herself in the room because of Noel. He was nothing to her now.She had stayed inside the room to design a wedding ring for Eric.Stella knew how valuable 'Reach for a Star' was, and she wanted to return the sentiment. She wanted to repay his love for her.She handed the drawing to the housekeeper and instructed him to find an expert to carve out her design.However, the wedding ring never arrived, even after the expected delivery date.Stella went to inquire and found out that Noel had been there to pick up some jewelry. He noticed the

    "Isn't he right there? He signed your surgical consent letter. I guess you’re her husband. Didn't I tell you before that you need to watch her constantly while she's unconscious? Where did you go? Count yourself lucky that nothing happened to her. You should get the admission procedures done."The doctor tore off a hospital form and passed it to Noel before leaving the ward."He's not my husband!"Stella was still trying to explain long after the doctor left. For some reason, Noel felt a little unsettled about this."That's enough. I've already taken you to the hospital, haven’t I? Are you still playing hard to get? It's about time you stopped this game."He placed a bag on the table. His tone softened when he saw the gauze on Stella’s head."It's still hot. Have a bite." Stella was taken aback to see the familiar logo.Every time she was sick, Stella would get all princessy and refuse to eat anything. Noel would go dozens of miles away and get into a long queue to buy this

    Stella finally looked up at Noel. There was a tinge of excitement in her voice, which was a change from her coldness in the past few days."Your uncle is back in the country?"Noel was relieved and smiled when he saw Stella back to normal."That's right. Are you so eager to marry me? Don't worry. I'll be at the wedding. Just stop acting like this in the future. You can play hard to get a couple of times, but it's annoying if you do it too often," Noel said as he opened the car door.Stella knew it was pointless to explain anything to him. She stayed in the car and said, "I want to go home. I want to put on some makeup and change my clothes."Noel figured she must love him a lot to put so much effort into this dinner. She probably wanted to leave a good impression on his uncle. He raised an eyebrow and agreed to something she wanted for once.After Stella got ready, they headed to the old Chilton mansion.Many people were attending the dinner, and they were not surprised to see S

    Stella visited her family's aquafarm the next day after finding out Eric enjoyed fish. She wanted to catch a few fish to practice cooking them for Eric in the future.She had just picked a fish she liked when she turned to see Sophie walking toward her. Stella had no idea how Sophie had managed to get inside. Sophie was wringing her fingers while looking pitiful."Miss Judd, are you angry because you found out that Noel got hurt from a fight while trying to protect me? This is entirely my fault. Blame me if you must. I know you're his fiancée. I'm just the daughter of a maid and not worth any of his time…"Stella frowned when she heard Sophie's tone, which was not as innocent as it sounded. She turned to leave.Sophie grabbed her hand. Stella was bewildered until she saw a taunting smile on Sophie's face.Before Stella realized the reason behind Sophie's change of expression, she saw Sophie raise her hand to slap herself hard several times. She wept uncontrollably after that.

She would rather get the domestic helpers to bake two cakes for them.However, Eric knew that his daughters had been looking forward to the castle cake for a long time, and he did not want to disappoint them.Old Mr. Chilton doted on his grandchildren and told Eric to hurry up so he could come back faster. However, Stella still refused to let him go.Eric wanted to talk sense into her but relented when he saw the worry in her eyes and her slightly trembling hands. He put his keys down."What's wrong? It's their birthday celebration. I won't go if you don't want me to. Cheer up, okay?"

    Eric pressed his fingers between his eyes as he felt deep regret for his innocent thoughts back then."We don't have lively personalities. How did our children end up with so much energy?"Stella had something to say about this. She looked at him and answered him seriously."It's because you keep giving in to them. You always make up excuses for them when I'm about to lecture them. How can they quiet down? I think you brought this on yourself."Eric did not dare say a word after getting lectured by Stella.Lowry, the driver, laughed happily when he saw Eric being taught a lesson."Madam Stella, Mr. Chilton's place at home has been taken over since you married him. Who would have known that someone stoic as him would end up becoming a slave to his daughters?" Eric did not retort. All he did was shake his head in exasperation.Stella covered her mouth to sneak a laugh. She was all smiles."Don't get tricked by his troubled face, Lowry. He's really enjoying it.""You're right,

Stella's mom also helped out with the babies, and Stella was happy to enjoy her free time.Once she had recovered from the birth, the happy couple returned to the old mansion with their daughters.Old Mr. Chilton was overjoyed. He divided his late wife's jewelry into two and gave them all to his two granddaughters.The other older members of the Chiltons also prepared expensive gifts. Noel's parents transferred a private theme park to them and told them it was a gift for their nieces.Stella remembered the theme park was under Noel's name.She glanced at him and

    Time passed, and on the day of the year’s first snowfall, Sophie was sentenced to six years in prison by the courts for attempted murder and other crimes.Noel was dead drunk when the news reached him, but he did not care.He had been living life in a drunken stupor for the past six months and was rarely sober.No one could talk him out of it. Every time he got drunk, he would call out for Stella.His buddies could only stand by side and watch as no one dared to contact Stella.To be more precise, no one dared to offend Eric.The media had caught pictures of Eric and Stella honeymooning overseas several times. They looked like happy newlyweds with a close relationship.Eric returned with Stella from the honeymoon on New Year's Eve.During the Chiltons' New Year dinner, Eric made an announcement with a happy look on his face."Stella is pregnant. The doctor says it's twins."As everyone congratulated them, Noel made a gaffe and broke his glass.Everyone turned to look at him.

    Noel saw Eric's post on social media too.He spotted a hand with a ring at the corner of the picture and felt even deeper despair.That ring was supposed to be his.That soup was supposed to be made for him.However, he had lost everything. He was left with nothing but an empty room now.Where did it all go wrong?Noel could not understand it. All he could do was drown his sorrows in alcohol.When he got tipsy, he lost all inhibitions. He could not stop himself from calling Stella.She finally picked up on his fourth call. All he could hear was shallow breathing.He listened to her breathing with a heavy head and spoke in an upset tone."I was wrong before, Stella. I shouldn't have ignored you. I'm sorry. I know you have feelings for me. You only married Uncle Eric to make me mad, didn't you?"Divorce him and come back to me, alright? I promise you I'll give you the wedding you want. I'll make it up to you with the ring and wedding gown. I promise to be with you wholehearted

    Eric kept flipping a medical report from the hospital that his secretary sent over to him while on their way home.He read the words 'Mild injury, nothing unusual detected on the organs and bones' several times before he finally stopped worrying.Stella was seated next to him. She took the medical report from his hands and stuffed it into the bag. Her tone was relaxed."I told you I was fine, but you still insisted that I went for a check-up this morning. Can you stop worrying now?""Well, I can only stop worrying after reading the medical report with my own eyes. It just takes a little more time than usual."He sounded reasonable, and Stella nodded. She suddenly remembered something important."When did you get the security footage from Noel's villa?""This morning."Eric replied without hesitation. Stella felt like she was missing something."Doesn't he know about it?""He doesn't need to know. All his assets have to go through my hands including his house, car, and shares.
