ALEXANDER POV

Dinner was awkward.

The past two days were awkward in their own ways but the awkwardness of today surpassed the rest as even the frequent chattering from Franklin was limited.

It was like he could sense something and remained quiet, or maybe he was just tired from playing all day. Either way, he had no idea how badly I needed him to say something.

Katherine, on the other hand, was quiet, that didn't come as a surprise though, she has always been a bit quiet but this time it was obvious that she had something on her mind and I couldn't bring myself to ask her what it was.

I reached for the glass of water on the table and my hands accidentally hit Franklin's cup of juice, spilling its contents on the floor.

“Oh no, I'm sorry,” I immediately apologized and stood up at the same time as Katherine.

She immediately rushed and grabbed some paper towels while I patted Franklin dry with the napkin next to him.

“Are you okay? I'm sorry, buddy.”

He shook his head, “Why are

Sometimes the silence between two people speaks louder than words. In this chapter, the quiet at dinner gave away more than either of them intended… but in the study, silence became something else entirely. What comes after “I want to touch you” isn’t about words at all — it’s about choices neither of them can take back.

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!    Chapter 237 — I Still Wanted This… And That Terrified Me More Than Fainting Ever Could.

    KATHERINE’S POVThe first thing I became aware of was light.Not the harsh, blinding kind, but soft, warm, filtering gently through half-drawn curtains. The second thing was the steady beeping somewhere close by, rhythmic and annoyingly persistent.I groaned and shifted, immediately regretting it when a dull ache bloomed at my temples.“She’s awake.”The voice reached me before I fully opened my eyes. Alex’s voice.My lashes fluttered, and when I finally looked up, his face came into focus above me. He was leaning forward in the chair beside the bed, elbows on his knees, eyes fixed on me like he’d been afraid I might disappear if he blinked.“You fainted,” he said quickly, before I could even ask. “The doctor said it was stress, dehydration, and exhaustion combined. Nothing serious but you scared the hell out of me.”I swallowed, my throat dry. “Sorry.”“That’s not what you’re supposed to say.”I managed a weak smile. “It’s the only thing that came to mind.”He exhaled slowly, running

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 236

    KATHERINE’S POVFor a second, I could only sit there frozen, my eyes shifting between Alex and his father as the room seemed to shrink around me.Anonymous sender?Him?I felt heat rush up my neck, a mix of disbelief, anger, and something else I couldn’t quite name. Betrayal, probably. My life had been torn apart piece by piece because of those documents, and now I’m learning they came from someone who should have absolutely no idea what exactly happened to me?I swallowed hard.There's no way he just accidentally stumbled upon an information as important as that.No.No one just stumbled upon something like that.He probably knew about it way before he sent those things to me and that was what bothered me the most.“Explain,” I repeated quietly. “All of it.”Mr. Blake, Alex's father, sat down opposite me, his expression unsettlingly calm, like he’d rehearsed this a thousand times. Alex shifted beside me, uneasy. He wouldn’t meet my eyes. That alone set my nerves on fire.There must b

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 235 — I Will Never Leave Her… But I Won’t Walk Away From the Child.

    ALEXANDER'S POVHazel's absence left us with a tense and awkward silence. For almost twenty minutes, no one said anything to each other, we simply remained in our seats and I couldn't bring myself to stare at Katherine.. or even Astra who was shifting uncomfortably in her seat now.“Uhm, I should…”“I need to rest for sometime..”Katherine and Astra spoke at the same time and I finally forced my head up and looked at Katherine first, then at Astra who still had tears in her eyes and looked really solemn.Gosh… was she pretending or was she really sad?It was hard to tell now. In the past, I could easily tell when Astra was faking it but now it seems that she had either gotten too good at acting or I had lost my touch.“It’s okay. I am not mad at you,” Katherine spoke softly to Astra and I couldn't help but wonder how she found it in her heart to quickly forgive her yet she still hold some grudges towards me.Was it because of her pregnancy? Was this what they called women's sympathy?

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 234 — Even If I Have to Send Her to Another Continent.

    ALEXANDER'S POV My heart pounded so loudly in my ears that I was certain they could hear it. I tried to calm my breathing but that was a challenge for someone who'd just ran all the way from the garage here.When Astra called and said that she was in the house waiting to see me, I knew that something was wrong but I never assumed it would be something that'll involve tears…hers especially. I took in the view around me; Katherine looking tired and confused, Hazel looking pissed as hell, which wasn't in itself surprising and then Astra crying.It didn't take long for me to process what might have happened that led to the scene before me and I immediately turned to Katherine. “Kathie…” I called breathlessly.She sighed heavily and then stood up towards Astra.“Look, I'm sorry. Hazel's just tensed right now and didn't mean to say all that. Come…come, sit down.”I watched with surprise as she led Astra back to the sofa and it suddenly occurred to me that I didn't know exactly what happe

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 233 — I Have to Win This Before He Turns Seven.

    KATHERINE'S POVHazel followed me to the house when Alex said he had somewhere important to be and though I would have preferred to be in his company, I couldn't stop him.The drive home was silent and I stared out the window watching as trees moved fast, houses disappeared until we slowly arrived at the house.“Kathie…Katherine?!” Hazel called, probably thinking I was asleep.I turned to look at her and forced a smile, “I know we're here,” the words struggled to escape my lips.She nodded and opened the car door and walked out. I waited for some seconds in the car before grabbing my bag and following suit.Nothing prepared me for the sight that greeted me as soon as I walked in.Astra sat on the sofa in the living room, playing with Franklin, showing off her ultrasound pictures to him while he giggled.Hazel was in front of me and though they've never really encountered each other, at least not to my knowledge, she seemed to recognize who Astra was and from the way her jaw moved up a

  • Billionaire's Regret: It's Great to See You Again, Daddy!   Chapter 232 — With a Single Tap From Me.

    ALEXANDER'S POVI wanted to smack that sneaky smile away from her face and squeeze the daylights out of her eye but I had to stop myself.Clara wasn't someone to mess with, especially at a time like this when she, in more ways than not, had the upper hand.So I swallowed every single bile crawling up my throat at the sight of her and forced a smile but my lips barely moved.“Hey…aren't you being too straight forward? We're at a restaurant, Alex. Let's eat first.”I clenched my fist under the table and once again reminded myself of the fact that Clara could destroy my relationship with Katherine in any second if she wants to.“I didn't come here to eat with you and I'm not hungry.”Unfortunately for me, I was actually hungry and my stomach didn't waste time in pointing that out through a rebellious growl.Clara laughed, the sound piercing through my ears and forcing me to bring my eyes to hers.“Really? ‘Cause I think someone says otherwise.”I ignored her.But it seems like she wasn'
