All Chapters of Too Late for Regrets: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

Quinton told me the location of the hotel where they were staying and left with Zachary.I never considered returning to a life with them, so the thought of accepting his offer did not cross my mind.The next day, I went out at five in the evening to pick up my son Harry from the airport. He had spent a couple of days at my sister-in-law's place and flew home from abroad alone without an adult accompanying him.Half a month had passed since I last saw him, so I already missed him dearly.However, as soon as I arrived at the airport, I ran into Quinton and Zachary. They both had sullen expressions, but their faces lit up immediately when they saw me."Mom! I knew you would come! Are those tarts for me? Thank you for these!" Zachary eagerly snatched the box from my hand.Quinton said coldly, "I told you the deadline was before three o'clock. Do you know what time it is right now? You should learn a thing or two from Lynn when it comes to timeliness!"Their unceasing offensive rema

Push had come to shove, and I no longer had a choice.Sniffling and teary-eyed, I went to look for Jacob. I wanted to say my final goodbyes to him.Knowing Quinton, I would have no chance to visit Jacob and Harry again.I walked toward Jacob to talk to him. Jacob rubbed his nose before I could say anything and said, "There's something I need to tell you. I hope you won't get angry with me."I stopped what I was doing and asked, "What is it?""My father is the president of the Ferrin Group. Before I continue, I want to clarify something. I didn't hide this information from you on purpose!"My parents initially disagreed with my decision to marry you and insisted that I marry someone of their choosing. I fell out with them after that. You weren't in a good state of mind then, and I worried their attitude toward you would worsen things. So, I lied to you and said my parents weren't around anymore."Jacob wiped my tears and said, "My parents have opened up to my decision these past

I might have been relieved and overjoyed to hear him say that in the past, but it no longer touched me when I heard it."I'm not an angel. I can never forgive those who have hurt me. Now, can you please leave?""Mom, please give me another chance. I—" Zachary pleaded yearningly.However, his feelings had long ceased to be of importance to me.When it was about time for Harry's classes to end, I tasked my newly hired clerk to look after the store while I went to pick up Harry from kindergarten.Zachary took a cab and followed me.I had no right to stop him since the roads were for public use. Whatever he did was his business.I drove to the kindergarten and saw that many kids were already waiting at the school gates."Mom! I miss you so much!" Harry let go of his teacher and rushed toward me with open arms. He then stuffed a clay figurine he made into my hand."Our teacher taught us to make clay figures today! We were told to make a figure of the person we love the most, so I m

"Don't talk about my mom like that! She's the best mom ever!" Harry protested, waving his little fist around angrily.Jacob said to his uncle, "You're not welcome at my wedding celebration. Please don't trouble yourself. Let this be a warning to everyone—those who make such comments and spoil the fun at my wedding celebration will have to face the consequences."I could not tell what was on everyone's minds, but I knew that no one dared to make such remarks or even glance at me in a less-than-cordial manner.On the eve of our wedding celebration, Quinton came looking for me in a drunken state. The man who once put on air around me had become scruffier than ever. His eyes were red and swollen, while his beard was unkempt."I admit it! I regret everything! I was stupid! I thought I liked Lynn. The truth was, I had already fallen in love with you. When you left, it took me only half a year of being with Lynn to regret my decision. Zachary and I tried to look for you.
