All Chapters of The Runaway Groom's Regrets: Winning Back my Ex-Bride: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

A commodious and furnished mansion was seen in front of Daphne's viewpoint, a cozy one she had desired when she was juvenile. The tinted glass door had slid open, making way for her. She entered and saw the bifurcated stairs on the right side, which had a glass handrail. Her gaze lingered as she saw Chuck and Nathan standing at the landing.Smile plastered on Daphne's face as she moved forward and stood in the living room, where she had noticed the presence of Elliot, sitting on the black sectional sofa that could accommodate six people. A black corporate attire was what he had worn, which perfectly matched what Nathan had worn.Daphne had looked back at Chuck and Nathan and saw how they moved down the stairs fast, and as she blinked, they already had in front of her.Chuck's white polo uniform had been tucked on his black pants, with the school logo on the left side printed in blue, matched with his black leather shoes and a white sock that almost reached his knees. He had a black ba

Bundles of files and plenty of paperwork were what Daphne worked inside Nathan's office for the whole week, stayed at Nathan's side, and sat in on important meetings that somewhat felt sleepy hearing that business jargon. Her interest was not in that field, yet as a sophisticated girlfriend, she needed to be there, pretending to be an active listener, as she could catch up with every business topic, those growth charts displayed on the screen, their project growth development, and conflicts with the primary office from its local partners and domestic branch.It all gave her a headache, and she somewhat enjoyed the roller coaster challenge inside the company as other employees started hating and laughing. In contrast, others still managed to respect and like her.'They were always that weird. Nothing was wrong with me. I respected them, but that bullshit could not do the same. And that's pretty normal.' Daphne thought. 'I made sure to enter the office elegantly and formally."An estima

The tree danced as the air blew, as well as it brushed Daphne's soft skin and made her hair a bit messy. Her eyes were stunned as the familiar voice continued to echo. At first, she thought she was hallucinating, but as time passed, a voice was still heard behind her. Daphne swerved to face it and yet recognized she was not awry."Nathan," she muttered, lingering as her eyes and brows broadened narrowly.Nathan moved forward and stopped before Daphne, panting heavily with a relieved snicker."Thank God! I've been looking for you everywhere!" Nathan said, who went close to Daphne as his eyes stared at her. "No one told me to do such, but I did it for you!"Daphne's jaw dropped, and her heart almost ceased from breathing as Nathan's mixed signals were too visible. An unusual feeling wandered into her nerve, tingling her with those actions she had seen. She blinked a few times, and a smile painted on her lips as no words went out. She did not mind it, despite how it affected her whole sy

It was Saturday. A memo notified Daphne about the scheduled tutorial session with Chuck. She almost had forgotten such; thankfully, she read the notifications. She had prepared all the things needed. From the learning materials and including herself to look presentable. Chuck might have changed his mind and didn't do the session with her. She still had three hours to prepare, so she was not in a rush and could do her morning routine slowly until she was finished taking a bath and ended up standing in front of the mirror to look at herself.Every session was a challenge for Daphne, as she wasn't sure if Chuck would cooperate or not. There were times Chuck chose not to. Thus, she would do her best to get his interest.She wore comfortable yet formal attire, then combed her hair. Admittedly, it gave her a brilliant smile, thinking she could see him again."Nah. I should not have messed with him romantically. I would be there for a tutorial session, not with that shit," she muttered and c

"That special someone who always made me motivated and was part of every current success I achieved in life was Daphne…" added Nathan and paused as he wandered his gaze around, staring at each eye on him, especially on Daphne.On Daphne's chair, she felt her chest move up and down as her heart beat fast because of Nathan's words. She understood he was no longer thinking about her as a fake girlfriend but as a natural person who was always at his side."Thank you for inviting me to give this speech to all Enigmatic Corporation employees and Mr. Borden, the CEO; congratulations on the success. May this be an inspiration for you all," ended Nathan as he saw on the teleprompter that no words needed to be said. As Nathan ended the speech, he threw a subtle glance and flashed a warm smile at Daphne while Daphne's defenses weakened, as it almost made her melt from her chair. A bewildered affection and admiration were with her, including Daphne, as his special someone would always make her p
