Lahat ng Kabanata ng Ex-Lover's Regret: Kabanata 191 - Kabanata 200

Nicole's POVThat morning, I was enjoying breakfast with my father without Richard. The boy who usually got ready before me was now still asleep. When I asked Key, the boy had apparently told my assistant from the night before that he would be up later, exhausted from his robot project.I respected the boy's wishes and decided not to wake him up, letting him enjoy breakfast once he was feeling better.My father and I ate quietly for a while until the man suddenly said something without looking at me. "It turns out you're already dating Matthew, Nicole."I coughed, choking as the drink I had just swallowed was trapped by the air from my throat. A waiter immediately came forward to help me, taking my place holding the glass while patting my back a few times before finally retreating to his position. I was grateful that none of the drink had spilled onto my shirt."Father.... How did you find out?" I finally asked, looking at the old man who was waiting for me to continue, but I had noth

Smith's POVI staggered over, holding the bottle of alcohol that contained only the last few drops. After the hundreds of bottles of alcohol I had managed to retain from my precious collection, this was one of the previous bottles I had at the moment, while at home, there was only one other bottle left.My once happy life was now going from bad to worse. It wasn't enough that my family's business had gone bankrupt, all the wealth I had accumulated over the years seemed to have vanished and the house that housed me had gone from being luxurious and grand to being small and too modest.No one helped me from my fate that had suddenly changed like this. From people I had worked with to people I had known for a long time, especially my former son-in-law, who seemed to prevent me from coming after our last meeting."Damn, man," I muttered, recalling the incident a few days ago that still felt fresh in my memory, intending to ask him for a bit of money.Without any consideration, that man re

Nicole's POVI exhaled as my gaze fell on the man in front of me. We met while I was in the elevator, about to get off somewhere else, but then I saw Chris preparing to get into the elevator."You're not listening at all," I said to the man, sighing, as he stepped inside and immediately closed the elevator doors.I could see the few people who were about to get on distracting themselves and whispering to each other, but I didn't have time to care about that with the person I was with right now. He had come out of the blue several times, but this was the first time he returned after a long absence.The elevator moved to the top floor again. I leaned on the far side of it, not hearing any response or conversation from the man, who still looked calm. My heart throbbed painfully, and I did not like that I had to be stuck with him again.I thought this would all be over after the incident when we were together at the hospital and then at my house, but that man's stubbornness cannot be unde

Nicole's POVI was so surprised when I saw that the person pulling Smith away from me was Chris. The man looked angry, staring at the old man who chuckled as he also looked at the figure who had suddenly pulled his hand away."What are you doing here?" The man asked the person in front of him.The old man who had looked annoyed earlier smiled wryly, looking unperturbed and seemingly relaxed. "What are you talking about? I just wanted to say hello to my daughter."I felt nauseous when the old man started talking about his longing for me, stories of the past that never really existed, but he made it seem like it really happened between us.My body trembled, wanting to stop the man's words, which were far more hurtful than his original attitude, but I was unable to speak other than remaining silent on the spot.Smith was again pulled by the man, but he did not give up easily and tried to break free. The difference in body size was not that great, but the old man clearly did not have the

Nicole's POV"Ah, the weather is so nice." I smiled, looking up at the open sky around the clear river as I tucked my hair out of the way of the wind.We had already climbed into one of the boats, and Matthew had just pushed our boat from the edge of the river until it began to sail with the gentle current in the center. I noticed the man's gaze watching me, so I turned my head and saw him nod, returning my smile.He looked up at the sky like I did before for a few moments, smiling brightly when he looked back at me. "Both the sky and the air are perfect for our date. I'm glad."The man started rowing, following the current until the boat we were on moved on and didn't stay in place for too long. I watched my lover sitting on the other side of the boat, holding both oars and moving slowly. I could see his muscles moving as he rowed the boat.I just knew that the shirt the man was wearing would affect me in this way.".... Nicole? Nicole?" I blinked, realizing that the bespectacled man
