All Chapters of Ex-Lover's Regret: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Chris' POVI was still completely shocked by what Smith had told me. Not only that man but even the mother Nicole had told me about wasn't her real mother. I furrowed my brow, feeling my own voice sound doubtful."So, Nicole is neither your daughter nor your late wife?" I asked again, confirming the old man's answer this time.Smith laughed. "No, she's not. She's a child we found by accident. What's the term? A foster child? Adopted? Well, whatever it is, we took her in when she had no one else."I was silent, listening to Smith tell me how it all happened. There was no sadness on his face, as he was still drunk, but he also didn't look as crazy as before and just told it like it was. He took a small sip of his drink."My wife miscarried. She was declared unable to conceive again with fatal damage to her uterus, so at the time, it was a heavy blow for her, as well as for me. But what happened to my wife became worse as her condition deteriorated over the days. She was not in good spir

Nicole's POVI was already holding the coffee the man gave me after he finished paying, but I could not refuse because he simply didn't give me a chance to talk anymore. We walked away from the cashier and towards the outside of the store."Thank you for the coffee, sir. Though we've never known before." I said, starting the conversation when I saw him already storing his wallet in the pocket of the suit he was wearing.The man shook his head. "It's nothing. I just bought you a coffee that's not even ten dollars." He smiled slightly as he looked at me. "After all, any man wouldn't mind doing the same for a beautiful woman like you, Miss."I didn't show any expression, feeling uncomfortable with his last words, aside from that, he had done me a favor. Perhaps it was enough to be thanked, but I felt compelled to return the favor."I'll replace this coffee, sir. I feel bad if it's left unattended." I said, looking at him, who quickly raised his hand, to my surprise.He shook his head as

Nicole's POV"I told you, Ms. Nicole. We will meet again." Matthew said to me as we were walking together, smiling.I also returned the man's contagious smile, acknowledging that our meeting after that day really took less time than he said. I didn't expect it at all, but I liked how our meeting today seemed to me.After that day, a few days later, to be precise, I had to accompany my father on business.He didn't say anything other than that it was a matter of working together between the companies. Then I found out that he was taking me to a meeting place with Matthew Thompson and his father, who is the current head of their company.We had finished the meeting a moment ago and were now walking together out of the discussion room. Our two fathers had already walked ahead of us, so they were a few steps ahead of us. I looked at those who seemed familiar with each other, who knew what they were talking about.I gave him a glance. "I didn't expect that our next meeting would immediatel

Nicole's POVWhoosh!I applauded as Richard's golf ball hit produced an excellent result, a perfect tee shot confirmed by one of the staff waiting at the end. "Well done, Richard."I praised my son for being so talented. Although he had only started practicing golf a few months ago, he had already mastered various golf courses without a single failure.I smiled, looking at him, who was looking back at me. "At this rate, I'll have a hard time catching up to you." I said as I walked closer to him.My son smiled slightly. "Have you beaten me so far? I only remember my victories during our matches."I chuckled, acknowledging Richard's second-to-none ability, not even compared to me, who only played casually but practiced with him on several occasions."That is indeed true. You're better than Mom, Richard." I muttered under my breath, acknowledging his prowess, then reached for the golf club in my bag while smiling at him. "So, how about you teach Mom this time?"He nodded, accepting my of

Nicole's POVI thought the matter was over when I was about to ask Matthew and Richard to leave, but Jayden was still talking and made me stop my steps."Were you going to keep acting like you didn't know me up until this point, Nicole? Really?" He asked, raising his voice so that I could hear him, as well as the two men I was holding in my arms.I felt my hands trembling, but I tried to hide it by grasping their hands tighter and refrained from replying to the man's words. There was no point in me responding to Jayden's words when they would turn out to be something he could use.I looked down, speaking softly so that only Richard and Matthew could hear me. "Come on, already, just ignore it."I started stepping on them, but the man still didn't give up. "Oh, he's the man who is the father of your child, right? The new guy by your side that I don't know at all."Matthew immediately turned around, provoked by Jayden's words that were clearly directed at him. "Sir, you should have kept
