All Chapters of Ex-Lover's Regret: Chapter 301 - Chapter 310

Benny's POVMatthew suddenly came into my room with a face full of anger. He had been insolent, entering my room without saying any greetings after slamming the door wide open.Some servants hurriedly closed the door, but I couldn't stop reprimanding his behavior. "Why are you behaving like this, Matthew? Don't you have any manners after disobeying Father?"His eyes still looked piercing. He was my only son, but the more he grew, the less I knew him. I had taken care of him since he was a child after my wife left me, so it should have been appropriate for him to follow my example without saying anything.He has dared to challenge my words and reply to me as if he did not see me as a parent, but just a coworker. I may have spoiled hi, a bit when she was younger, but I had no idea the change would be this big.I've known him for a long time, so this attitude is actually familiar. He seemed dissatisfied with something."This all happened because of Father." He said in a loud voice. "You'

Nicole's POVA few days passed. After learning that fact, I shut myself in my room and rejected the desire of the man with glasses who had betrayed me to see me again.I had buried myself in work. I'd barely rested for three days straight if Key hadn't been watching me and hadn't eaten if a servant hadn't delivered food to the study.I felt uncomfortable eating in the dining room because a man had once approached me while I was eating breakfast. I quickly left my place to rush back to my room, even though my food and drink were still intact on the table.There was a knock on the door. I turned my head towards my bedroom door, which opened, revealing my son's figure, whom I hadn't seen in a few days. His face looked gloomy, and he immediately hugged me, who was lying down.I rubbed his hair lightly, while he lifted his face to look at me."Mom, how are you doing now? What exactly happened that you didn't come out of the room?" She rested both hands on my stomach, looking at me gloomily

Nicole's POV When I got into the car, the bespectacled man who had been bothering me for days called once more. As usual, I dismissed the call, switching my phone to silent mode so only notifications would appear. I sighed long, annoyed with men from the same family — father and son, no less. They had made unforgivable mistakes toward my family. Yet, they continued to harass me, forcing their presence upon me as if determined to make me a part of their family by any means. I understood the source of their confidence. The old man's criminal activities stretched back over twenty years. Their family name was respected, making it difficult to gather evidence to bring the issue into legal scrutiny. They likely had influential connections capable of shielding their misdeeds from media and legal exposure, making it a monumental task to unearth and prove these old transgressions. My father was making tremendous efforts to bring them to justice, but reviving a long-buried case wasn't ea

*Nicole's POV*The surgery had been ongoing for three hours. The father of the man with glasses was here too, sitting alone, but I paid him no mind, only noticing his shameless presence a while ago.My father had also arrived. He sat beside me, calming me down. His warm hands clasped one of mine, making me feel like I could finally breathe. I leaned my head on his shoulder for a moment."Wouldn't you rather rest, Nicole? I can wait here in your place," he said gently a while ago, noticing how my hands trembled and my breathing unsteady.I still felt shaken, and my hand hadn't returned to normal. My worry lingered, especially after seeing Matthew taken into the operating room in such a grave condition.If anything happened to him, I'd feel a heavy sense of guilt and have no idea what to do—especially if I hadn't waited for him as I was doing now.I shook my head in response to my father's question, attempting a faltering smile. "No, Dad. I want to wait until his surgery is over."He re

Nicole's POVMy mouth immediately felt like it was quivering. "You mean, with that old man, is.... Benny Thompson?"The man nodded, seeing what was happening to me as if he had expected it. I had a panic attack. The man held my hand tightly, helping me to calm down what was happening to my body.After the past events, there were many things I had to go through, and this panic attack was one of them. Aside from being traumatized by loud noises and car crashes, it was very difficult for me to deal with this kind of shock that was also almost similar to the things I had gone through in the past.I wasn't badly hurt, but the scars from that incident still remained."Calm down, Nicole. You're still here, as are Richard and me." he took my hand and rubbed it gently. "Your father is fine, too. You just have to face this reality so you don't falter. You need to breathe."I breathed in with difficulty, feeling claustrophobic with the pressure my body was making due to the panic I was feeling.
