Chapter 44

ผู้เขียน: Where is Spring
The living room was so brightly lit that it felt like daytime. Richard was sitting on the sofa, a cup of coffee on the table. It was cold and untouched.

When Maria walked in, she was caught off guard by his gaze when she met his deep eyes. She paused for a second, then looked down to change her shoes.

Seeing that she had nothing to say, Richard frowned. "Where were you? Why are you back so late?"

Maria continued changing her shoes. "I had things to do."

"What kind of business needs you alone in a private room with another man? And how did Trent end up like this?"

Richard held out his phone. On the screen was a photo from a selfie. Trent's face was beaten black and blue. Maria's hand was red and swollen from where Trent had grabbed her, the marks still clear.

She replied coolly, "He started it first. He deserved what he got."

Richard's face darkened further. "Who was that man? Was it the doctor you used to see? Or someone new you met outside?"

His accusatory tone made Maria unc

  • A Regret too Late   Chapter 100

    There was a hint of mockery in Maria's eyes as she nodded quietly. "Sure, I believe you."Right after she spoke, a gentle voice drifted over. "Jonny, do you like it here?"Maria and Richard both turned at the same time and saw the boy who had refused to come to Ocean Park with them that morning now walking over with Eleanor. The two of them were laughing and chatting. It looked like they were having a great time.Richard's grip on Maria's hand tightened. He wasn't expecting to see this.His expression turned dark. He frowned and walked straight toward them, still holding Maria's hand. Maria tried to pull free, but Richard wouldn't let go.They stopped in front of Eleanor and Jonathan.Meeting Richard's icy stare, Eleanor immediately put Jonathan behind her to protect him. She quickly tried to explain. "You've got it wrong. It's not what you think, I...""I'm not asking you." Richard cut her off coldly, staring at Jonathan. "You wouldn't come with your parents, but you insist

  • A Regret too Late   Chapter 99

    Richard looked a little disappointed, but still took Maria to the car.He had wanted the three of them to spend the day together and have some fun, but without Jonathan, it just didn't feel complete. He steered the car and drove them to Ocean Park.There were a lot of people at the aquarium, but Richard stayed right by Maria's side the whole time, making sure nobody bumped into her.Even though it was crowded, Maria never got shoved. However, Richard's arm kept getting knocked into by other people as he shielded her.Richard didn't complain at all.Every time they passed something, he would ask if Maria was interested in the sea creatures, or if she thought anything was fun.Maria could tell he was trying hard to please her, almost like he was treating her as if she were a child. She wasn't used to this kind of gentle care from Richard. It didn't feel genuine, but just another way to keep her from running away.She glanced at a sign and said, "Let's go see the dolphins.""Sure,

    Richard paused. For some reason, there was a hint of pain in his voice as he asked Maria, "Can't I stay here with you?"Maria just looked at him in silence. He got the message right away and let go of her hand, a disappointed look on his face. "Get some rest. I won't disturb you anymore."He pressed his lips tighter and quietly left.Once he was gone, Maria finally let out a sigh. She closed her eyes and started thinking about her plan. She could only hope everything would go smoothly when the time came, and hoped Richard would eventually find what she'd left for him in the study.It didn't matter if he didn't find it now. Someday, when she was truly gone, he would figure out why she left.The next morning, Maria sensed someone was there beside her even before she opened her eyes. Startled, she turned her head and saw Richard sitting quietly, reading an Attanian book.On the table next to him was breakfast that was still steaming hot, some pills laid out, and a glass of warm wa

  • A Regret too Late   Chapter 97

    Maria was filled with disgust. She would never allow that to happen. She had to leave quietly and disappear from Richard and Jonathan's lives forever!Richard didn't even deserve a last look at her! He didn't even deserve getting a single word in!Wasn't he just waiting for her to step aside after his explanation, so he could openly welcome Eleanor back?No. She would never give Richard that chance!Hatred flashed in Maria's eyes.After telling Willow what she needed, she hung up the phone.Right then, Richard pushed the door and came in. Before Maria could even turn around, he pulled her into his arms. She frowned. "Let go."Richard rested his chin on her shoulder and kissed her earlobe softly. "I heard you talking, so I knew you weren't asleep. Who were you calling? It's so late…"Maria held her phone tightly and pushed him away with all her strength. "Just my brother."Before she could finish, Richard pulled her back into his arms and tried to sweet-talk her. "Were you ca

    Maria's bedroom door wasn't locked.Mr. Graham and several maids were in the residence. There was also a driver outside and two bodyguards maintaining security.It would be nearly impossible for her to leave.Maria didn't even bother to start any commotion. All she could think about was how to get out of this situation as soon as possible.She went downstairs, heading to the living room to get some water.After Richard had dragged her back here, all her medicine that she was supposed to take was left at the hospital. Without her medication, her condition would only get worse.She needed to find a way to get her medication back.Maria was deep in thought as she opened her water bottle when she suddenly heard a faint sound upstairs.She looked up.The door to the study on the second floor was slightly open. The lighting inside was dim. It was obvious that only the small lamp on the desk was switched on. If one didn't look carefully, one would never even notice anyone was there.

    Richard didn't dare say anything that might upset Maria. "Alright, you can rest here for now. I'll leave and won't disturb you."He glanced at Maria again. But seeing she still didn't respond, he had no choice but to leave in disappointment.As soon as Richard stepped outside, a maid quietly approached him. "Sir, the madam looks very weak. Isn't it best to get a specialist to check on her? I asked about the ward she was in at the hospital. Unless someone is seriously ill or needs a lot of peace and quiet while they rest, you normally don't get to use that ward."Richard massaged his temple in frustration. "I'll handle it. If she doesn't want to see a doctor, then don't bring in any specialists for now. Give her a couple of days and we'll see."She was here, anyway. There was no way she could escape.A glint of brutality flashed in Richard's eyes as he pressed his lips together. He was calm and quiet most of the time, but only when it came to Maria would he ever show a side of hi
