Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 100
In fact, Nathan was completely helpless.The only one who could reach Macie was Yosef. Unfortunately, Edward had no way of contacting her.That morning, a manager came by with the product planning proposal for Edward. But after a brief discussion, it became clear that Edward wasn't in the right headspace. His eyes were red and swollen, so the manager had no choice but to leave."Mr. Levy, do you know what's wrong with Mr. Fowler?" the manager asked Nathan in the Assistants Department's office."Oh, he's going through a breakup," Nathan replied absentmindedly as he looked up from his computer.But then he realized that it wasn't entirely accurate. Macie and Edward were married. They weren't dating, so it wasn't a breakup. It was more like…Right, a divorce.Alas… A newly divorced man was bound to be a mess, especially since Edward had brought this on himself. Nathan could only shake his head and sigh.The other assistants who overheard that were stunned and the manager was equ
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 1
Two incidents happened on the day Macie Smith decided to get a divorce.Firstly, Edward Fowler's first love, Sharon Emerson, returned to the country. To celebrate the occasion, he spent a fortune to rent a cruise, where he spent two wild days and nights with her.The media widely covered the rumors of them potentially getting back together.Secondly, Macie had accepted the invitation of a college senior to rejoin the company they had founded before as a director.She would leave this place after a month. Naturally, no one cared about her plans. To Edward, she was akin to a maid who had married into the Fowler family.During this time, Macie quietly removed all traces of her in the Fowler residence. She bought a flight ticket out of the city without anyone knowing.In three days, nothing here would concern her anymore. She and Edward would become strangers.…"I need two portions of soup. Get it delivered now."A text notification popped up on Macie's phone. She frowned at Ed

Edward left in great strides, holding Sharon in his arms. When he walked through the door, he accidentally bumped into Macie's shoulder, causing her to stumble and fall down beside the door frame.The searing pain coming from the top of her foot and her shin made her hold on tightly to the door frame.People in the room shot her funny looks. Some looked on with disdain.But that didn't matter to Macie anymore. She slowly got up and turned around. Holding onto the wall, she inched out of the room with much difficulty.When Macie arrived at the hospital, the nurse who approached to treat her wound inhaled sharply upon seeing the injury on Macie's foot.She took in the massive and tiny blisters around Macie's wound, gasping, "Oh my God! How did this happen?"Macie clenched her jaw from the excruciating pain. Her cheek muscles were sore, and she struggled to answer the nurse.The nurse sighed while applying the medication. She explained, "Just now, we had a patient with burns. Her b

Edward paused in surprise and pursed his lips. He stared ahead of him but ultimately said nothing.Macie listened to the conversation between him and Sharon. A mocking smile was played on her lips. She might be Edward's legal spouse, but in reality, she felt like the third wheel between Edward and Sharon.Edward walked on while Sharon trotted beside him. Macie did not want to interact with Sharon, but that didn't stop the latter from stirring up trouble."May, it must have hurt. I'm so sorry. Edward had sent me to the hospital first because he was worried about the impact on my career. I hope you don't blame him," Sharon said.Smirking, Macie replied flatly, "I don't blame you. You're the most important person to him."Although Macie was speaking the truth, it sounded like she was taking a jab at Edward. Displeased, he fired back, "What's with that tone? Even if Sharon was the one who lost her grip on the container, you were also responsible for not securing the lid."Macie did

It was 11:00 pm when Macie got home. She didn't keep the lights in the living room on because she knew that Edward might spend the night with Sharon elsewhere. He wouldn't come home.She carried the first-aid kit and hauled her pain-ridden body to her small bedroom.Her two-year marriage was just a sham. Edward saved himself for Sharon and refused to let Macie anywhere near his main bedroom.When she thought back to it, she realized that it wasn't that bad after all. She'd be disgusted with herself if Edward took her.She quickly disinfected the wounds on her elbow and the back of her feet. When she was done, she was too spent to even store away the first-aid kit. She left it on her bedside table, thinking to put it away the next morning.She changed into her pajamas and lay in bed. Pain shot up from the base of her spine as she shifted, forcing her to inhale sharply.She softened her movements. Eyes closed, she shut all the thoughts out of her mind. Soon, she grew drowsy.Meanw

Macie had almost fallen asleep, but she stirred awake and frowned when Edward banged on the door.She got up and turned on the lights, her brows furrowed. Then, she limped to the door.Edward's fist hit the air when she opened the door."Mac—""Why are you home, and why the heck are you banging on my door at midnight?" she snapped at him impatiently.Her attitude fueled his anger further. He immediately grabbed her arm and yelled at her, "What's with that question? Can't I return to my house?"Macie's impatience immediately vanished. Instead, she lowered her head and looked upset.At first, Edward thought that she had caved in from being intimidated, but she reached out to take his hand off hers. At that moment, he sensed something amiss. He released her hand and spotted blood on his palm.It turned out that he had hurt her wound by squeezing her arm too hard.Macie stared at the man before her through tears. He had caused a scene in the middle of the night."Are you hurt?"

Edward didn't sleep well through the night. His stomach had become sensitive, and even medication only provided slight relief. It was far from recovery or comfort.He woke up early before the alarm rang. As he stepped out of his room, he nearly collided with Macie, who was leaving her room that was just across the corridor."What are you doing?" he asked instinctively."Making breakfast," Macie replied flatly as she stumbled toward the kitchen.Edward stood frozen in place. He had always woken up and had breakfast without paying attention to who prepared the meals. It never occurred to him that she had been waking up at 5:00 am every morning to cook.Watching her slightly unsteady figure, he said, "You don't have to."Macie stopped in her tracks and turned her head back.For two years, she had attended to Edward. She had to get up and cook even when she had a fever. He had tormented her in every possible way. This was the first time he had told her that she didn't have to cook.
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 7
Macie looked up at him, clenching her fists.She scoffed silently.She was heavily injured, yet Edward insisted that she make dinner just to ensure that his beloved could eat. She had underestimated Edward. He was truly completely heartless."Can't you guys order takeout? I'm pretty sure plenty of restaurants do delivery. It's not like you can't spare the money," she said.Edward pursed his lips and averted his gaze. He was just about to take his phone out when Sharon spoke up. "May, I came to visit you with the intention to make you dinner. It seems rather insincere of me to order takeout…""Then are you making dinner?" Macie retorted coldly."I'm not very familiar with the kitchen. I broke a plate earlier. Edward was so worried about me," Sharon said, blinking innocently. "How about this, May? I'll help you out by setting the table. We'll consider that as me making dinner, okay?"She smiled brightly, but to Macie, it looked incredibly insincere.It looked like Sharon was determined

One of the interviewers smiled and said, "Ms. Smith, your professional expertise is outstanding. Your leadership in several team competitions during college makes you an excellent fit for the director position."Macie pursed her lips at the remark and glanced at Julian. "I'm sorry, but I don't think I'm qualified for that. I'd be happy to join the design department as a staff member."The interviewers were momentarily surprised by her rejection.Macie continued, "Thank you for your confidence in me. The competitions during college were team events, and the leader back then was Mr. Atkins, not me. I was just the assistant, so I can't really take credit for that."I'm well aware of my weaknesses. This is my first job, and I have a lot to learn, especially when it comes to leading a team. If I get promoted, I'd like to start from the ground up."After hearing her response, the interviewers appreciated her honesty and sincerity. Then, they turned their attention to their boss sitting

Julian turned to look at Macie. She had applied light makeup with soft red lips that weren't too bold. Her overall look was simple and fresh, giving her an understated elegance."Not at all. You look beautiful." Julian didn't hold back his praise at all.He smiled and added, "Back in college, you were our department's top beauty and one of the most outstanding students. The number of guys chasing after you could probably circle the whole city of Williamford.""Stop teasing me." Macie blushed slightly.Julian chuckled. Seeing how easily she got flustered, he felt like he was back in their college days.He was tempted to ask if she had a boyfriend but figured that it was too soon since they'd only just reconnected. So, he decided to hold off for now.As they chatted, the elevator reached the 12th floor. Julian led the way as he introduced the place. "Look, this is our company logo—Brightech Studios. It's a bit tacky, but we hope it brings us good luck."Macie looked at the compa

In the passenger seat, Nathan heard Edward sobbing and shouting. Frowning, Nathan sighed inwardly. If Edward knew that it would come to this, why had he been so sure of himself before?Just days ago, Nathan had warned him to be honest with himself, but Edward had insisted he'd never regret his choices.No matter how much Edward begged or cried at the Fowler residence, Yosef refused to waver. Any thoughts of reconciling Edward and Macie had been completely snuffed out. The call was ruthlessly ended. Before hanging up, Yosef left him with only one cold remark. "You're not good enough for May."In the backseat, Edward redialed the number, but his grandfather refused to answer the call. It was only then that Edward's heart truly shattered, and regret crashed over him in waves.The man who was always so stoic and composed now broke down in anguish. His cries were raw and desperate, like a lost puppy abandoned on the side of the road. He clutched his head and was unable to hold back

"So… it's true?" Yosef asked.On the other end of the line, he still couldn't believe it even after hearing the answers."It's not just true. There's more," Nathan replied. "I'll put everything in a message and send it to you."After hanging up, he quickly typed out everything he knew about Macie's sufferings and the incident with Edward bringing Sharon into their home. Although Edward and Macie were already divorced, Nathan felt that Yosef still cared for Macie and might be able to help her get some justice.The ride was eerily silent.Edward sat in the backseat, lost in thought. He still couldn't believe that he and Macie were divorced.At the same time, he was grappling with the truth from two years ago—that his grandfather had forced her to marry him. She had been innocent all along, yet he had resented her for two years.Edward raised his hand to cover his face. His throat tightened, and his eyes burned with unshed tears as sorrow washed over him.He couldn't stop thinki

"May, Ed knows that he was wrong. He's been looking for you these past few days," Yosef said.He continued, "I'll get someone to deal with Sharon. Can you please forgive him just this once? Give him another chance."Ed has fallen for you, though he didn't realize it until now. He just told me that he didn't want the divorce, and he even cried. I promise that he'll be a good husband to you from here on out."On the other end of the line, Macie's expression remained cold and unaffected by his words. She should've known better than to think that Yosef could resolve the divorce issue. She shouldn't have even picked up the call. Now, it seemed that Yosef was even pleading on Edward's behalf.Pigs flying, the world ending, or the sun rising in the west—any of those seemed more believable than Edward suddenly turning over a new leaf."Mr. Fowler Senior, you're asking me to give him another chance. But can I ask you to give me a chance to live?" Macie asked.On the other end of the lin

After breakfast, Nathan brought the lawyer to the Fowler residence. But the moment they arrived, Edward tried to send them away."Heh, feeling nervous? With all three parties here, you won't be able to accuse May of forging documents again." Yosef scoffed.Edward gritted his teeth as he shot a warning glare at the lawyer to stop him from speaking out of turn. He even secretly texted the lawyer to claim that the signature was forged.But Yosef saw right through it and ordered Nolan to confiscate all the communication devices from the lawyers representing both parties. The original documents were brought out for comparison. Yosef even had the attendants block Edward from getting close.In the end, the lawyers reached a unanimous conclusion. One of them stood up and reported, "Mr. Fowler Senior, this is indeed Mr. Edward's signature."The words hit Edward like a sudden blow. He stood frozen, and his eyes reddened as he shouted, "I didn't sign it. I swear I didn't."He continued,

"Back when you were in eighth grade and about to start high school, I refused to let your father's mistress into the family. I did everything to protect your position as the rightful heir and kept that woman's illegitimate child from ever being acknowledged as a Fowler," Yosef said.He went on, "But look at you. You grew up to be just like your father. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it?"There wasn't a single curse word in the scolding, but to Edward, it was the harshest thing he'd ever heard. Every word cut deep and left him feeling wounded and exposed."I'm sorry, Grandpa… Paparazzi swarmed Sharon's hotel, and her bag was stolen. She lost her ID and couldn't check into a hotel," Edward explained in a low voice."And that's why you let her stay at your place? If you're so charitable, why don't you start taking in stray cats and dogs?" Yosef shot back.Edward was left speechless and unable to come up with a response."How long has she been staying there?" Yosef pr

At that moment, Sharon finally stirred awake by the door. Seeing Edward already awake, she propped herself up against the wall.Her voice was hoarse as she said, "Ed… can we start over? Let's forget about those two years. After all, we both made mistakes."Edward stepped out, and she grabbed his arm. However, he shook her off, his expression cold."I made myself clear last night. Don't bother playing the sympathy card. Move out of my place today.""Ed, Ed…" Sharon followed him. But after spending the night by the door, her limbs went numb, and she fell on the floor.She assumed that he would turn around like before, offer her a hand, and check on her. But this time, he didn't even glance back. He just slipped his shoes on and walked out the door.When Edward finally turned around, Sharon was still on the floor and looked at him with tearful eyes."Ed…" she cried out.But his expression was indifferent, and his eyes carried a cold chill."If you don't move out today, don't bl
