Too Late for Regrets Chapter 1
On the day of my seventh wedding anniversary, my husband's lover gave my son a pet cat.My pregnancy made me allergic to cat fur, and rashes appeared all over my body. Sensing that it might lead to a miscarriage, I told my son to return the cat."I'm keeping it!" my five-year-old son, Zachary, protested. He pushed me and said, "I hate having you as my mom! I want Aunt Lynn to be my mom!"My husband, Quinton Locke, tore into me. "Why did you have to develop an allergy now, out of all times? Is your jealousy blinding you to the point where you won't even consider your son's feelings? You're being unreasonable!"He took Zachary and left with the cat. They had eschewed me in favor of Lynn Shelbert, Quinton's lover, the apple of his eye.I collapsed to the ground, watching as blood began to soak my pants. At that moment, I knew I had suffered a miscarriage.I felt an unimaginable pain while I was in the hospital.My husband and son traveled with Lynn, resembling a happy family of thr

Quinton told me the location of the hotel where they were staying and left with Zachary.I never considered returning to a life with them, so the thought of accepting his offer did not cross my mind.The next day, I went out at five in the evening to pick up my son Harry from the airport. He had spent a couple of days at my sister-in-law's place and flew home from abroad alone without an adult accompanying him.Half a month had passed since I last saw him, so I already missed him dearly.However, as soon as I arrived at the airport, I ran into Quinton and Zachary. They both had sullen expressions, but their faces lit up immediately when they saw me."Mom! I knew you would come! Are those tarts for me? Thank you for these!" Zachary eagerly snatched the box from my hand.Quinton said coldly, "I told you the deadline was before three o'clock. Do you know what time it is right now? You should learn a thing or two from Lynn when it comes to timeliness!"Their unceasing offensive rema

Jacob rushed over angrily. He kicked Quinton and pulled me out of the car. I huddled in his embrace, feeling weak in the knees as tears welled up in my eyes.I was just so angry!During my marriage to Quinton, I became so severely depressed that I had to take medication. Years had passed since our divorce, and yet they still found their way to me so they could make my life difficult again!Jacob picked up a crying Harry and comforted him. Then, he put a candy in my mouth to calm me down. "Don't get angry at them. They're not worth it.""Jacob Ferrin? You can possibly be married to him, right?" Quinton got up from the ground. He still seemed in disbelief even though Jacob had already shown up.Jacob embraced me and said sarcastically, "Did you think she would wait for a two-timing scumbag like you to change your mind? I bet you found out that your lover wasn't half as good as you imagined and decided that you wanted to take Mabel back. I should let you suffer for that.""But she s

Push had come to shove, and I no longer had a choice.Sniffling and teary-eyed, I went to look for Jacob. I wanted to say my final goodbyes to him.Knowing Quinton, I would have no chance to visit Jacob and Harry again.I walked toward Jacob to talk to him. Jacob rubbed his nose before I could say anything and said, "There's something I need to tell you. I hope you won't get angry with me."I stopped what I was doing and asked, "What is it?""My father is the president of the Ferrin Group. Before I continue, I want to clarify something. I didn't hide this information from you on purpose!"My parents initially disagreed with my decision to marry you and insisted that I marry someone of their choosing. I fell out with them after that. You weren't in a good state of mind then, and I worried their attitude toward you would worsen things. So, I lied to you and said my parents weren't around anymore."Jacob wiped my tears and said, "My parents have opened up to my decision these past

Jacob seemed downcast when he heard that, but he must have felt more heartbroken than anything when he looked at me."I should be the one to apologize for not giving you a sense of security."What I'm about to say to you has been said too many times now, but I still want to say it again—I have a kind, loving, and beautiful wife. She's a smart woman, a graduate of a top university, and she's a great cook who can whip up delicious food, and she is emotionally stable..."I'd run out of paper if I were to describe everything good about you. Marrying you was the best thing that happened to me!"There was a sparkle in Harry's eyes as he said, "My mom is the best mom in the world!"They both threw their support behind me regardless of the decisions I made.My heart skipped a beat, and all the gloom accumulated from meeting Quinton and Zachary dissipated.Jacob had been shooting late-night scenes for several days in a row. He could only come home after working around his tight schedule

I might have been relieved and overjoyed to hear him say that in the past, but it no longer touched me when I heard it."I'm not an angel. I can never forgive those who have hurt me. Now, can you please leave?""Mom, please give me another chance. I—" Zachary pleaded yearningly.However, his feelings had long ceased to be of importance to me.When it was about time for Harry's classes to end, I tasked my newly hired clerk to look after the store while I went to pick up Harry from kindergarten.Zachary took a cab and followed me.I had no right to stop him since the roads were for public use. Whatever he did was his business.I drove to the kindergarten and saw that many kids were already waiting at the school gates."Mom! I miss you so much!" Harry let go of his teacher and rushed toward me with open arms. He then stuffed a clay figurine he made into my hand."Our teacher taught us to make clay figures today! We were told to make a figure of the person we love the most, so I m

Calmly, I said, "Oh, they're strangers to me. One is a cheating ex-husband and now regrets it, while the other is an ungrateful son who prefers his father's lover over his mother."My customers and my shop assistants looked at Quinton in a different light. Their gazes were filled with disgust and disdain.As someone who valued his dignity and reputation, Quinton turned around and left grimly.At closing time, I was about to head home when Quinton stopped me at the bakery entrance."I got into an accident because of you, and I was hospitalized for that. I nearly died, but you didn't even have the courtesy to visit me. Don't you think you're going too far with all this?" His angry tone made him sound even more heartless.I retorted coldly, "It's my fault now? I didn't hold you at gunpoint and force you to drink, did I? Or are you suggesting that I hired someone to ram your car?""Mabel, I know you're jealous because I used to like Lynn. I'm sorry, okay. Are you happy now?""No." I
