Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 32
Macie quietly took a deep breath, forcing herself to suppress the urge to argue.After all, it was just a place to sleep. She didn't think that it made a difference where she slept. She could endure it… It was only for ten days anyway."Where are my things?" Macie asked.Edward, noticing that her anger had subsided as quickly as it flared, replied, "Sharon had someone pack them up and put them in the small guest room."Hearing that, Macie walked to the other small room and pushed open the door, only to find her belongings scattered messily all over the floor. Anyone who didn't know better would think that it was just a pile of trash.Behind her, Nathan inhaled sharply. The mistress had bullied the rightful wife terribly. First, she took over the latter's bedroom, and now she was forcing her to sleep in what was basically a storage room.Edward, who had followed, took in the scene and frowned slightly before turning to Sharon."Is this how your assistant handles things? By dumpin

"I'm not going anywhere. I just don't like these anymore," Macie replied impassively.Edward's tense posture relaxed at those words. He instructed Nathan, "Go to the supermarket downstairs and buy a quilt and a bedding set."Nathan obeyed and left, while Edward returned to the living room.Macie continued tidying up. Most of her belongings were there, but...She suddenly stood up and strode to her old room. Just as she was about to unlock a drawer with a key, someone appeared behind her and pulled open the bottommost layer.Macie froze for a moment upon seeing the empty space inside. When she turned around, she was greeted with the sight of Sharon's smugly curved lips."Where's my notebook?" Macie demanded."What notebook? I don't know what you're talking about." Sharon feigned ignorance."Didn't you open this drawer?" Macie gritted her teeth.Before Sharon could reply, Edward approached from the doorway, wearing a frown. "What are you two arguing about?"Just as Macie was ab

When Macie went to the bathroom to wash the cloth, she noticed that all her personal toiletries—her toothbrush, skincare products, and everything—were gone. Only Sharon's set remained, neatly placed beside Edward's.Macie let out a mocking laugh. She had lived there for two years, but Sharon had erased all traces of her existence within just two weeks. She had gone from being the rightful owner to an outsider, an intruder who no longer belonged.At the same time, a Rolls-Royce came to a stop outside the modeling office. The car door soon opened, and Sharon stepped out. She deliberately stood sideways to bid Edward goodbye so everyone in the lobby could see him.As the car drove away, she smiled brightly and waved before turning around, her expression filled with confidence, pride, and satisfaction."Wow, Sharon! Your boyfriend dropped you off again!""You two have such a good relationship. Mr. Fowler is rich and handsome. And since he's an only child, no one will fight you for t

At 10:00 am, Macie went downstairs to buy groceries and prepared exactly what a certain someone had requested—three dishes, not one less. She delivered them to the company on time.This was the first time in her two years of marriage that she had stepped into a "public setting". She had no idea what kind of whim had struck Edward, but she planned to simply leave the food at the front desk.After explaining her reason for being there, the receptionist gave her a scrutinizing and hostile look before saying, "Please leave before I call security. We don't allow unrelated personnel to visit our company."Macie pressed her lips together and briefly remained silent before taking out her phone to send Edward a message. However, when she opened the chat, she hesitated and called Nathan instead.After she stepped outside to call Nathan, she exchanged a few brief words and then waited for him to handle it.Inside the CEO's office, Edward's expression darkened as he watched Nathan hang up the

"Excuse me, may I ask how you and Mr. Fowler are related?" the receptionist asked in a hushed tone."I'm his housekeeper who cooks for him," Macie replied indifferently.The receptionist hesitated, wondering if there really was such a young housekeeper. And if that were the case, why had Nathan instructed her to be respectful toward this woman?She had no time to ask further questions as the elevator doors opened, and Macie stepped inside, heading straight to the top floor.Macie found Nathan already waiting upon her arrival. He immediately took the food container from her hands and softly said, "Mrs. Fowler, I was just about to go downstairs to meet you, but…" He hesitated before adding sincerely, "And please, you can always ask me for help, really."Macie understood that he was a kind person. She gave him a faint smile. "You can take it inside. I'm leaving.""Aren't you coming in?" Nathan asked."I don't want to see his stinking face," she replied coldly."That's… quite an

Edward convinced himself to let it go and focused on his meal. The moment he took the first bite, the deliciousness of the grilled honey balsamic ribs nearly overwhelmed him. The happiness and satisfaction he felt peaked instantly.Listening to the increasingly rapid sounds of eating beside her, Macie couldn't help but glance at him with an expression full of unconcealed disdain. She would have thought a pig was wolfing down its food if she didn't know better.The affection she once had for him was now replaced by repulsion. But for now, she had no choice but to stay in this temporarily disadvantageous situation.Three dishes, one bowl of macaroni, and a soup—Edward finished everything in just ten minutes. Fully satisfied, he wiped his mouth and hands with a wet tissue.Meanwhile, Macie had already stepped forward, swiftly collecting the empty containers before turning to leave without hesitation.Seeing her so eager to leave, Edward couldn't help but ask, "Have you eaten?" He s
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 38
Macie turned her head slightly to look at him, her expression devoid of emotion as she asked, "Have you ever cared about me before?"Edward was instantly at a loss for words, his expression frozen in place.Macie then returned to the small guest bedroom, leaving the man standing there, lost in thought, with a trace of guilt and self-reflection in his gaze.Since Edward had returned home early, Macie decided to head out to buy groceries."Where are you going?" Edward called out as he watched her prepare to leave right after he had just returned."The supermarket," Macie answered flatly.In the past, Edward never cared about such things. He barely even spoke to her. But that day, for some reason, he seemed unusually talkative.After getting her response and noticing the fabric tote bag in her hand, Edward obediently put his shoes back on and silently followed her out.Macie didn't turn around when she heard his footsteps behind her. When they reached the elevator, she assumed tha

When Edward brought Sharon home, Macie was already busy in the kitchen.Edward walked in, stood close to Macie, and watched her roast vegetables while sneakily stealing a piece of braised beef. Their bodies were almost touching.Sharon clenched her teeth as she watched from the doorway. She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she thought that Edward seemed to be getting closer to Macie ever since she returned."May, what are you making? It smells so good!" Sharon smiled as she walked in and squeezed between them. "Seriously, Ed. How could you make her cook right after she got back? You're treating her like a maid," she added, pretending to stand up for Macie.Macie remained indifferent. She picked up on Sharon's disguised mockery."It's her duty to cook," Edward replied matter-of-factly."I bet you don't like my cooking! Poor you. Having to eat what I made while May was in the hospital for two weeks," Sharon teased."Nonsense. Your cooking is fine. But now that Macie

"Shut up! Not you, too!" Edward exploded. "Are you deliberately rubbing salt into my wounds? Do you want me to have you pack up and leave?" With that, he furiously ended the call.On the other end of the line, Nathan stared at his phone, his expression blank. His boss had finally realized what he'd taken for granted now that he had lost his wife. But it was too late to do anything about it.…Later that night, even though he knew that he wouldn't be able to see Macie that day, Edward still waited until 10:00 pm outside the office building before reluctantly heading home. Not long after his car pulled away, a figure stepped out from the building's main entrance and made her way toward the subway entrance.Macie looked at her phone. Tomorrow was the last workday before the weekend. With two days off ahead, she was relieved she wouldn't have to worry about bumping into Edward. Nevertheless, she couldn't avoid him forever. She just hoped he'd stop acting crazy and give up soon.Her mi

"Have you fallen for someone else? That must be it, right?" Edward couldn't think of any other reason. This was the only explanation that seemed remotely possible."Who is he? Is it that senior of yours? When did you two start hooking up?" His voice rose in a jealous rage, accusations spilling out in a storm. But as soon as the words left his mouth, the memory of his own entanglement with Sharon and how deeply it had hurt Macie slammed into him. In that instant, even he realized that he had no right to be mad at Macie. "Break things off with him right now. I won't hold it against you," he said, attempting to hold it together. "We're even now, so let's not point fingers. Where are you? I'll come get you."On the other end of the line, Macie was so stunned by his audacity that she let out a breathless, exasperated chuckle. "Are you deaf or just stupid? I told you—I'm done. Don't you love Sharon? We're divorced now, so you two can get married. "I wish you both a lifetime of happin
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 127
Edward was shaken. Macie's cold words echoed in his ears, and he mumbled back in disbelief, "No… That's not what I meant…"Macie snapped, "You've got some nerve saying that. Then again, I guess you've always been full of yourself. You only believe your own version of the story. Even if you killed me, you'd probably say that it was suicide.""I wouldn't have! I never wanted to hurt you!" he yelled. "If you're talking about the time I pushed you, fracturing your bones, I'm sorry. I'll do whatever it takes for you to forgive me. Moving forward, I won't ask you to cook or clean. You can just stay home and—""You actually think I want to go back to that hellhole?" she cut him off coldly.That hit him hard. Panic started to bubble up in Edward's chest. It seemed that she really had no intention of coming back."Are you still mad at me? Look. I swear that it won't happen again! I've already cleared out your room. Sharon's gone," he explained. "What happened that day… I didn't mean to hur
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 126
Julian took out his phone to check his messages. Macie had asked for the company's security number earlier but never said why. He still hadn't heard back from her. She had arrived early that morning, more than an hour ahead of schedule, just to avoid running into him. Sighing quietly, he shook his head.…Macie couldn't focus entirely on her tasks as she worked that morning. She kept thinking of ways to avoid Edward and make her way upstairs. She wasn't ready to talk to Julian yet. She'd only just joined the company, and the last thing she wanted was to let her personal life become office gossip.Macie was already feeling irritated, and things got worse when her team didn't cooperate, causing the project to stall. So she called a quick meeting to set things straight. "I know some of you aren't happy with me being the team leader, thinking that I don't deserve it because I've only just joined the company. But I'm only the interim team lead, and right now, I only want to finish th

Inside the car by the curb, Edward stared at the entrance of the commercial building. His left hand gripped the steering wheel tightly. Through clenched teeth, he asked, "Who reported it?""The person didn't leave a name, so I'm not sure," the security guard replied.Edward took a deep breath, then asked again, "Was it a man or a woman?""A woman," the guard answered."Is she young or old?" Edward pressed on."A young one," the guard said.Edward's eyes widened, and a thought immediately crossed his mind—it was Macie.He wondered when she had figured it out and when she had slipped inside the building under his nose. After all, he had been watching everyone who passed by."Can you give me her phone number?" Edward asked the security guard.The guard hesitated at the request and said, "Sorry, sir. But I can't share that information. It was just a mix-up today and didn't cause any real problems. We didn't mean to inconvenience you."He paused, then added, "I'm sure you understa

Edward thought that he could just wait around and get lucky, but he didn't realize Macie had more tricks up her sleeve than he expected.At that hour, there were barely any people around. It wasn't until after 7:00 am that the street slowly began to fill up.At that moment, a woman dressed in a black suit walked out at the subway entrance across the street. Her shoulder-length hair framed her face, and she wore sunglasses and a mask. Her purse was slung over her arm, and her posture was confident. She wore black high heels, and as she walked, she exuded an undeniable presence.It was Macie. She was almost completely disguised and did not show signs of panic or fear, even though she suspected that Edward had sent someone to watch this area.After returning home last night, she contacted Yosef and told him to rein in his grandson and stop letting him interfere with her life. Although he had agreed to her demand, she remained cautious. After all, she knew how shameless and unscr
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 123
The realization that Macie had long planned to divorce and leave him hit Edward hard. His eyes reddened, and a wave of bitterness swept through him.He hadn't noticed a thing. Macie had seemed distant back then, but he'd brushed it off as jealousy over Sharon. It never even occurred to him that she had already given up on their marriage.She'd even brought up divorce back then and said it so calmly and coldly. Why hadn't he paid more attention?Edward thought that he might've saved his marriage if he had seen it coming. Now, all he felt was regret. The signs were clear as day, but he hadn't noticed or paid attention. He was too caught up in thinking he had feelings for Sharon.As the seconds ticked by, he still stood at the entrance of the office building. The night wind had turned cold. His whole body was stiff, and he could barely feel his legs."Mr. Fowler, here's the list of companies registered in this building. There are 23 in total, along with a few independent studios," Na
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 122
Clutching the strap of her bag, Macie belatedly realized a few things.Edward had already found out where she worked. She wondered if that meant that he also knew which company hired her.If that were the case, there was no way she could keep it from Julian and the others. With Edward's crazy personality, he would definitely cause a scene.Even though they were divorced and she had made it clear to him last night, he still wouldn't let go. Was he seriously planning to make her suffer for the rest of her life? Or did he expect her to accept her place while serving him and Sharon?As these thoughts raced through her mind, Macie clenched her teeth. Her face was flushed with anger.Was Edward really trying to push her to her breaking point? Was he deliberately making her life miserable here in Williamford?…Edward and Nathan stood on the first floor of the office building for over half an hour. Nathan's eyes were practically bulging out of his head from staring too hard. He fel
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 121
The discussion was filled with malicious speculation, but no one spoke up. Instead, most of them just gossiped out of curiosity.When someone mentioned that Julian had arrived, everyone fell silent.After handing Macie the elevator access card, they had expected him to leave with the other executives. Instead, he pulled out another card from his pocket, stunning everyone.Why did Julian still have an elevator card? Could it be that he didn't give Macie the card? Or was it his backup card?There were many speculations.When Macie reached the lobby and exited the elevator, she planned to take the main entrance. But then she saw two familiar faces near there.Her expression immediately changed, and she quickly pressed the elevator button while using her bag to shield her side profile.It was that obsessive maniac again. It seemed that Edward had tracked her down here. She wondered if he had somehow traced her location through the police investigation.The elevator door opened, and
