All Chapters of Ex-Lover's Regret: Chapter 231 - Chapter 240

Key's Point of View"Say that more clearly."I heard the distressed-looking voice of the Great Lord and saw his gloomy face. I don't know what the respected man was thinking. Still, if what the informant said was true, then the security of the Duncan Family's home had been successfully infiltrated by someone in power that the internal authorities were unaware of.This is evidenced by an ordinary servant who easily infiltrated, gained the trust of the head of the family as well as his wife, but then betrayed it by kidnapping a child whose whereabouts were unknown.The informant cleared his throat, looking a little intimidated by the head of the family, although his voice did not say so. "Mary worked with the Armstrong Family, sir. She was one of the workers there and then transferred here as a servant without anyone knowing."I was a little surprised to hear such an almost taboo family name. They were one of the wealthiest families in the next town over, but they had also been enemies

Nicole's POVI felt so happy when I arrived in my room. It had only been a few days, but I was already feeling very bored from spending time in the hospital, undergoing tests, eating food that tasted too healthy, and being confined to my room for most of my time there.I couldn't even go anywhere alone, having to be accompanied by a nurse or one of the staff my father had prepared. I knew it was for safety, but I didn't feel free and was forced to stay in my room all the time."That's nice," I muttered under my breath, opening the veranda of my room until the breeze entered the interior and the sunlight was still relatively bright.I didn't mind the hot light and enjoyed it. I stayed on the guardrail for a while while closing my eyes to enjoy the fresh breeze free from the typical antiseptic smell of the hospital.Richard also accompanied me into the room, carefully pushing my wheelchair. I felt fortunate to have a family like him.He touched my shoulder lightly. "Do you like being ba

Nicole's POVWe were sitting across from each other in my office. I was forced to go inside and tell the security staff that it was okay for the man following me to walk in with me, as well as Lona, who had looked uneasy a moment ago when she left me alone.I had no choice, as I didn't want to make my encounter with the man sitting across from me feel too familiar by moving to the café or the coffee stand on the first floor of this office building. After all, I only wanted to talk to him briefly.My gaze shifted to the man's face, which looked relaxed even though I had been surprised when I readily accepted his invitation. There was no drink I asked him to serve, so he just folded his arms across his chest and leaned back, looking at me without saying anything.I knew he had a hard time giving in even though my father had issued orders for him not to see me. However, I still didn't know if he was just too brave or if he no longer cared about his image as a businessman with the calm an

Nicole's POVI felt furious at the two men who seemed to be arguing in front of me. It wasn't enough to have that annoying guy around, but my fiancé, who I had thought could hold his temper well, was still provoked by the nonsense the other guy was saying.Both of them knew that I had recently been allowed to return to work, but they still did the same thing they had done several times before, arguing and exchanging words that absolutely shouldn't be spoken so immaturely.I didn't feel sick or dizzy, but they were really making me feel claustrophobic with the commotion they both caused, as well as depressed with the pile of negative emotions that were in the conversation of the two men before me."Stop it! Both of you!" I said in a slightly raised tone to overpower their voices that were louder than mine, but my fiancé just happened to grip his opponent's shirt collar tightly.The brownish-green-eyed man's gaze was only fixed on Matthew, who seemed to be gritting his teeth. They obvio

Nicole's POV"You still don't want to see Matthew, Nicole?" my father asked, looking at me as he was about to walk past me. "He didn't say he was looking for you, but I've seen him watching your room from outside a few times."I looked at my father, already knowing what he was discussing first but not wanting to. "I still need my rest, Father.""Hm, is that so?" the man muttered under his breath. "I already know what happened between you. I think it would be best if you talked about this further, Nicole."I didn't immediately respond to my father, who had suggested something for my relationship with Matthew for the umpteenth time. I didn't really want my father to know about our problems because I knew it would eventually come out, but my fiancé wasn't fully following our verbal agreement.It had been two days since he came to my house under the pretense of a casual visit. Perhaps my father was surprised that we hadn't met at all at such a time. Either I welcomed him first, or my fian
