EX-HUSBAND'S REGRET: "Mommy, please forgive Daddy."의 모든 챕터: 챕터 131 - 챕터 140

Luciana feigned ignorance as she shrugged nonchalantly before taking her seat on the chair opposite Alexa's.She had come prepared. Regarding the revelation she discovered about Alexa the other day, she knew she had the upper hand now. She had made further inquiries and realized her presumption was indeed correct; Alexa had lied to the firm in order to maintain her position. Now that Luciana was aware of her little secret, she believed she had the advantage of blackmailing Alexa with it. She had come up with a proposal and if Alexa didn't agree to it, then she'd make her true intentions known."What remark?" Luciana questioned, scrunching her brows at Alexa as a playful grin marred her face.Alexa's face twisted with annoyance, her blood boiling over at Luciana's mischief. "What are you doing here? I thought I already made myself clear the last time. I don't need you in my team."Luciana chuckled. "No, that's not what this is about. Yes, you've already made yourself clear and I'm not

Alexa retired to her bedroom that night after she chatted with Elena. She had barely been able to comprehend some of Elena's inquiries, but nonetheless, she refused to bother about them, especially the ones centered around Jordan.She had already decided that she was going to agree to the Restitution and after that, she was cutting ties again with Jordan and his family. She wanted nothing to do with them.Alexa had just changed into her nightgown and was about to head toward her bed when her phone on the table began to buzz.She walked over to it and picked it up, only to see it was Tyler calling. Alexa stole a quick glance at the wall clock and noted the time was past 8 PM.Heaving a sigh and grabbing the chair before settling into it, Alexa swiped the response button. "Hey," her voice was soft as she spoke. "How are you?"Recalling how their last conversation on the phone had ended the other day, her heart raced with guilt and perplexity. She had shunned Tyler and indirectly warned

Alexa couldn't comprehend the reason Tyler had asked her that, but she knew she needed to respond swiftly if she didn't want to raise his suspicion.Making a right turn on the road, Alexa replied eventually without sparing him a glance. "Jordan Salvador. He is the convict who was apprehended and brought in to my custody, Ty. Why are you asking me that?""The one whose case you requested to take the sole charge of?" He inquired further, unknowingly causing Alexa's heartbeat to quicken.Alexa maintained her composure and replied. "Yeah, that's him. He was charged with embezzlement. But all that is getting resolved soon since he's been pleaded for the Restitution method." She clarified, silently praying he didn't press her for more after this.Tyler nodded curtly. "Mm, I see,"Alexa was quiet. He continued after a brief silence between them. "His mother reached out to me the other day, begging on his behalf. She told me you made the bail option unavailable, why is that?"Alexa was faze

Alexa had just finished her conversation with one of her colleagues when she decided to leave the courtroom. It was merely a few minutes past 2 PM and she knew she needed to go pick Elena and the kids from school.Already tardy, she quickly arranged her files into her bag and retrieved her car keys from the table. She stole a glance at Jordan and saw he was engrossed in a conversation with his family. She felt her heart twinge but she quickly dismissed those emotions. She let out an exasperated sigh, realizing this was the last time she was probably going to see Jordan. He was returning home as all compensation had been made. This day marked the end of their meeting. Alexa couldn't deny the way her heart felt heavy at the realization. A part of her wasn't ready to let him off the hook, but she knew there was nothing she could do now. Heaving out another sigh, she redirected her gaze as she prepared to head out of the room.On her way, she noticed he was staring at her and this made

Alexa worked busily behind her desk that Monday afternoon. Even though she had presumed her workload would reduce since they had finalized the verdict of Jordan's case, she found herself working even more now. Sapphire kept bringing her the documents she had skipped while working on Jordan's case earlier. After several hours of working, Alexa felt drained but was still reluctant to give herself a break as she felt the need to finish these up before anything else. Or maybe she was just trying to distract herself from her consuming thoughts and just using all that as an excuse.Alexa had found herself thinking more of Jordan lately ever since the verdict. It had already been a week since he got released and also a week since she last saw him in person. She had only watched the news concerning his return to his company some days ago, and she recalled the way her heart had squeezed when she had absorbed his charming smile from the TV screen.Thoughts of him occasionally revolved around
