All Chapters of Ex-Lover's Regret: Chapter 251 - Chapter 260

Nicole's POVI stared at Richard, who still hadn’t answered, his head bowed to avoid looking directly at me. Gently, I touched his chin and lifted it slowly so our eyes could meet again. “Will you still go through with your plan even after I’ve spoken to you like this?” I asked. After a moment, he finally shook his head. Confusedly, He looked at me. “How did you know about my plan? I didn’t tell anyone, not even Grandpa or Key.” I let out a quiet sigh, softly stroking his hair before cupping his cheeks, my gaze still full of concern. I felt relieved that he had admitted his plan to me before meeting with that man, but my suspicions about his intentions had been correct. “I’m your mother, Richard. I carried you, gave birth to you, and raised you before the servants, Grandpa, and Key helped take care of you. Of course I know.” He held my hands on his face, gently pulling them away as he spoke, his gaze fixed on them. “I just wanted to cause a little trouble at his company, Mom

Nicole's POVI walked into the event with Matthew. We had arrived at a party attended by several other businesspeople, instantly drawing the attention of many guests in the grand ballroom.I could hear whispers as we moved deeper into the room, but I pretended not to notice and kept walking. It seemed like it was the first time many had seen me in person, though some had seen me at other events but never interacted with me."Is that Nicole Duncan?" someone whispered quietly, and their companion nodded in response.The woman who had been asked slightly turned her back as I passed, but I overheard her mentioning the man who had spent time with my son and my fiancé, who was now walking beside me. "She's beautiful, but…"I didn’t hear the rest as we moved too far away. I sighed softly, realizing there was no point in eavesdropping further. People who gossip like that rarely confront you directly.There were too many people here to be sure who was talking about me, so I decided to focus o

Richard's POVTo me, the most important person in my life is my mother. My mother is everything to me, especially when she smiles and laughs while spending time with me. I feel happy if my mother is happy, and she feels the same way. I hate seeing her sad or silently crying when I’m already asleep.Her happiness is extraordinary to me because I’ve heard about the past she endured before I was born. I never want her to go through that again, at least not while I’m alive and by her side.My mother is the kindest, most beautiful, and strongest person I’ve ever known. Still, whenever I think of all the people who treated her horribly, it makes me furious. I hate those people who hurt my mom when she was still young and vulnerable, especially that foolish man who let her go so quickly.Mom says she’s already forgotten about that man, but knowing everything that happened in the past and how he acted when they met again makes it impossible for me to forgive him. I might even say that I hate

Nicole's POVI was startled when I heard arguing coming from upstairs in the café where I was visiting Matthew. The child's voice and another figure that sounded familiar to my ears sounded close, and I, who was just about to sit down, had to stand back up to follow the direction of the two voices."Where are you going?" The man with glasses who had just placed our drinks on the table asked me, looking surprised.I looked at him and showed him my palm. "Wait a minute," I said.He looked like he was going to say something else, but I was already back on my feet and, within moments, saw the figure of a boy and the back of a man much taller than him. I recognized my son's face and guessed the person he was with.They were still arguing when I was a few steps away from them. Sensing that the atmosphere between the father and son was quite stressful and attracting the attention of the few people around, I took a breath and finally stepped forward to diffuse the argument."Are you guys here

Nicole's POVI looked at Matthew, who couldn't answer my question right away. He was silent, his mouth clamped shut, but with a troubled look behind the glasses he wore, I was sure that my question was the unspoken truth between us.I snorted, then quickly stepped away to leave him. I couldn't believe she could lie to me like that. Even though it was trivial, I couldn't appreciate his actions that seemed to have fooled me for his own interests. I didn't think he was that kind of man."Nicole." He called my name at the same time as his hand held mine until my steps stopped in place. I didn't turn around, hearing his following words to me. "Sorry, you already know... I lied to you but did that because I still wanted to spend time with you."I turned my head, looking at him sharply and not mincing words. "I don't like what you did, Matthew. You've embarrassed me just the same."I still remember the laughter of the two men who looked familiar, while I felt like a fool for not knowing what
