The Christmas holiday music continued to play, as though it was being played to make me remember how I lost my wife three years ago during Christmas. My eyes stayed glued to Helen, who was practically dragging her kids toward the other side of the hall.

I could see from her body language that even staying with me in the same hall disgusted her so badly; I knew she would rather not be anywhere near me, and honestly, I couldn’t blame her.

Not after everything.

Just as she was nearing the exit, Mr. Riley, the film producer who had convinced me to invest in this project, intercepted her. I observed, watching their exchange closely.

Did Riley know her? Wow. That was new information I didn’t have.

“Interesting,” I murmured under my breath, crossing my arms as I watched as Mr. Riley pleaded with Riley.

From lipreading Riley, I could say that he was literally begging her to do something for him, but she was really not considering it. They were far from me, so I couldn’t hear a word of what

  • Mr Billionaire's Regret: Ex-wife Returns With His Triplets.   Chapter 87: Helen's POV

    What I was hearing was unbelievable. I reached for my phone and sent Rita a brief message. I don't understand what you're telling me right now, Rita. Are you implying that you had another encounter with Ashton? As I pressed send, my fingers shook slightly. I waited for her response while sitting on the edge of my bed with my eyes wide. My phone buzzed a few minutes later. I glanced at the screen. Indeed, Helen. Today, I saw him. We conversed. Although our meeting was brief, I believe you should be aware of what transpired. I gazed at the message. My heart began to race. I didn't want to accept it. I simultaneously experienced confusion, anger, and a weird hope. "I don't get it, Rita. How come you met him? Why didn't you tell me? What were you two discussing? Another buzz. I waited with trembling hands. I was just concerned about him, Helen. I wanted to know if he had truly changed. We discussed everything, including the children, ourselves, and the past. I believe he is truly

    “I appreciate you coming to see me.” I said, taking a seat across from Rita at Cafe Sunset. She gave a quiet smile as she looked up. "Ashton, you're welcome. I'm glad to see you.” She kept mute for a second, then continued. "How have you been?" “I have been good, though. Only in certain places. You know, trying to keep everything together while working." I answered as I looked around the small, welcoming cafe, a little anxious but glad to see her. She just smiled back and nodded. "That's excellent. I've been alright, too. Simply taking in the weather in Seattle. You know how good it is for my skin” She gave a quiet laugh. “Honestly, I feel like I've been much more youthful lately." I couldn't resist smiling. "Hey, Rita, stop it. I'm jealous of you. I wish I had that new appearance.” She covered her face with her hand as she blushed slightly at my smile. I shook my head and chuckled. "You look adorable when you blush." She looked down, shy but still grinning. In order to put h

    The following day, I returned to the office. I couldn't help but smile as I sat at my desk, filled with joy. At last, everything was resolved. It was all over—the worry, the stress. I inhaled deeply and looked around the room. It was as if a big burden had been removed from my shoulders. Even though it was for a different reason, my heart was still pounding a little. I felt pleased, I'm glad I completed the task at hand. I was startled to see Dan enter my office. He seemed taken aback by my happiness. I was eager to tell him. I yelled, "Dan!" as I jumped out of my chair. “You won't believe it!”He hesitated, perplexed. "What? What took place? What happened?”I smiled broadly and said, "Our strategy was successful! It was a huge success!”His look was surious. "Really? Are you serious?”“Indeed! Yesterday, I told her everything. I presented the evidence to her. And what do you know? At last, she consented. She promised to resume the film project's funding.”Dan's expression brighten

    My phone rang out of nowhere as I was working on the most recent budget report at my desk. I didn't recognize the number that flashed on the screen. So I scowled, wondering who the caller might be. After a moment of hesitation, I responded. "Hello?" The person called softly, and I didn't recognize the voice at first. It had an odd sound, somewhat harsh, possibly even icy. "Please, who is this?" I tried to sound firm but gentle as I asked.After a pause, someone said, "This is Mrs. Fletcher." My eyes got big, and I nearly shouted, "What? Mrs. Fletcher?” I blinked in surprise as I repeated that it wasn't possible. Fletcher, Mrs. Ashton's mother? She called me, but why? My heart skipped a beat. I looked at the phone, trying to understand what was going on. This was really strange. I never thought she would give me a call. I usually interacted with her except via Ashton or his group. Why now? I inhaled deeply, reminding myself to remain composed. I didn't have to show that I was a

    I drove to Mom's, my heart was pounding furiously no matter how I tried to remain calm. Dan's revelation was a tiny ray of light at the end of the tunnel. But I also understood I was in a vulnerable position. I needed to figure out how to make her hear me out. How to make her do as I wanted.I drove in front of her home and breathed deeply. I glanced over at the place, it looked still. There were no cars in the driveway. I considered where she would be. Then I caught a glimpse of her emerging from the home. She was getting into her vehicle."Hello, Ashton," She exclaimed in surprise once she spotted me. "What are you doing here?"I remained silent for a moment. Then I opened the door and went over to her. She was looking at me with a face filled with confusion. I gazed at her and spoke gently, "I need to see you. It is very important."She stared at me and blinked. "There's no need to rush. I've got a meeting to attend. I don't think I have the time to spare now."I took a brief pau

    I sat there, attempting to clear my head. I gulped the liquor big time. The whiskey burned in my throat, but I didn't care. I was consumed by worrying thoughts, I was attempting to remain peaceful but kept failing miserably. Then, the phone rang. I pulled out the phone and read the screen: Dan's number. I was afraid, I didn't know why but I was. And I didn't think I'd hear from him today.I immediately answered the phone."Hello?" I replied, attempting to remain calm.Dan sounded thrilled on his end. "Ashton! Hi, I have some news. I believe I know how to solve this issue."I instantly sat up, getting a glimmer of hope. "What? What do you mean?" I leaned in closer to the phone.He chuckled, as if he'd solved some secret puzzle. "You're at the bar, aren't you?""Yes, I'm here now," I replied. "Why?"“I need to see you immediately. It is very important, " he answered. I was already getting so excited. "Alright, alright, what is it? I can go in immediately. What are we doing?"He paused
