All Chapters of Her Ex-Husband's Remorse: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The next morning, Spencer cleared his schedule for the morning so that he could bring Nikita to a private hospital, funded by Nextronics, for her obstetric checkup. After receiving confirmation that the pregnancy was viable, he laid his head gently against Nikita's belly. His assistant reminded him, "Mr. Ford, it's still too early to feel the baby kicking."Spencer grinned. "No, I can feel it, I can feel it!"His assistant had to stifle a chuckle. Spencer bombarded the obstetrician with questions regarding Nikita's care during her pregnancy. It was a funny sight indeed, when Spencer, one of the greatest minds in the tech industry, had to resort to taking out his phone to jot down the doctor's advice. The doctor warned him that nausea was very common during the first trimester and that in severe cases, the mother would not even be able to keep down food. Tears welled up in Spencer's eyes, and he pulled Nikita closer to him. He said in a choked voice, "I'm sorry that you have to

Spencer felt his breath catch in his throat. He immediately retorted, "How can I possibly do such a thing? My darling, even if every single man in this world cheats, I'll never stoop to their level."He then said, sounding very convincingly ashamed, "I asked the doctor about this, and he told me that because of the fluctuating hormone levels, pregnant women can undergo mood swings and feel very insecure at times. This is all my fault, my darling. I've been spending too much time away from you lately. I'm ashamed of myself. The company is hosting a luncheon the day after tomorrow. Would you like to join me? It'll be good to get out of the house."He hugged Nikita so close to him that she could hear his pounding heart as clearly as though it were her own. She resisted the urge to ask him whether his heart was racing out of concern for her, or because he was terrified that she found out about his affair.On the day of the company luncheon, Spencer and Nikita's appearance immediately ca

Spencer replied without even thinking, "Of course I am! Why wouldn't I be excited, when it's the child that my beautiful wife is bringing into this world? I'm planning on buying a bigger house for us, so we can have room for a nursery. It'll be perfect. The renovation will be complete by the time the baby arrives, and he or she will have all the toys they want." Spencer's eyes were glinting with excitement. Then, a moment later, he snapped out of his stupor to bump his nose gently against Nikita's face. "Thank you for everything, darling. You've had it rough lately, but I promise I'll do everything I can to take care of you."Nikita did not reply. Ever since returning from the luncheon, Spencer became more doting. He would turn down meetings just so he could go home and spend more time with Nikita. The change came so abruptly that everyone soon realized what was going on. Word on the street was that aside from being obsessed with his wife, Spencer was also a devoted father to his

By the time he returned home, it was almost midnight. The maids already left, and it was pitch black in the living room. Spencer took a whiff of himself. Queenie liked wearing perfume, so every time they met, he would have to take a shower to remove all traces of her. After making sure that he cleaned up his tracks, he tiptoed up the stairs to the bedroom. He nudged the door open. It was pitch black inside the room as well. Spencer suddenly realized that something was very wrong.He turned on the lights, bathing the bedroom in a harsh glow, but it was the sight in the room that shocked him.The room was empty. Nikita was nowhere to be found.It was already past 11 pm, and Nikita was an early sleeper, so there was no way she would still be out at this hour. Where could she have gone?Spencer immediately sprinted back downstairs, grabbed his car keys, and was just about to bolt out the door when he suddenly caught sight of two documents on the dining table. The wording of the

"My wife! Where's my wife?" Fabian and Nikita decided to spend a night at a hotel near the airport so they could catch the earliest flight out. Just minutes after they left the hospital, Spencer arrived, screaming like a madman. He sped through every red light and stepped on the gas, ignoring the speed limit, just to rush to the hospital. He probably racked up an extortionate amount of fines in the process, but he did not care. He had to find Nikita. He barged through the doors, panting heavily. He searched wildly around the room but could not see his wife anywhere. Panicked, he grabbed hold of a passing nurse and croaked, "Where's my wife? Have you seen my wife?"The nurse looked exasperated. "Sir, I can understand how worried you are, but you at least have to tell me your wife's name."Spencer replied hastily, "Nikita Young. N-I-K-I-T-A, Y-O-U-N-G."The nurse scrolled through the admission records, and when she looked up, there was a newfound expression of sympathy. "Sir, I'm
