Emma's POV.
The security at the entrance of the Zander Cooperation headquarters was incredibly tight, but using my restored Quinn family credentials allowed me to slip past the front guards without raising any immediate red flags, and the moment I stepped inside the massive, glittering ballroom where the high-end charity gala was being hosted,

DEAR EX, IT'S TOO LATE FOR REGRET. Chapter Sixty-Eight.
THE SCHOOL CHOICE.Emma’s POV.The morning sun was shining brightly onto the large kitchen table where the girls were finishing their bowls of strawberry cereal, and I stood by the counter checking the final enrollment packets for the new, prestigious international academy that Nathan had selected for them because the entire media scandal from last week was finally completely cleared away. Nathan had spent the previous night dealing with that strange cargo ship down at the private dock boundary, but he had still managed to wake up early enough to sign the premium tuition checks so that Pearl and Gina could start their classes on the exact same morning, and the domestic peace in our household felt incredibly real as the two sisters laughed together while comparing their matching blue school uniforms."Mommy Emma, do you think the new art teacher at this academy will let us use the big watercolor sets today, because Gina promised to help me draw a giant c
DEAR EX, IT'S TOO LATE FOR REGRET. Chapter Sixty-Seven.
NATHAN’S VOW OF LOVE.Nathan’s POV.The penthouse terrace was completely quiet as I stood by the stone railing watching the city lights down below, and the small table in the center of the patio was set nicely for a private dinner with two plates of steak and some sparkling water because the entire media storm had completely shifted in Emma’s favor over the last three hours. The television news channels were now filled with top reporters praising her incredible resilience and her bravery for confronting that actress face-to-face, and the online forums that were previously attacking our household were completely flooded with supportive messages from ordinary citizens who were calling Emma the finest mother in the entire city, so the transition from yesterday's massive crisis to this peaceful evening felt absolutely complete. I heard the sliding glass door click open behind me, and Emma stepped out onto the concrete terrace wearing a comfortable grey
DEAR EX, IT'S TOO LATE FOR REGRET. Chapter Sixty-Six.
DEREK’S PUBLIC DISGRACE.Derek’s POV.The tiny television set on the small table in my basement room was buzzing loudly with static, and I sat on the edge of the mattress with my hands clenched into tight fists while staring at the screen, my heart hammering violently against my ribs because the second block of the live broadcast was finally starting after a long commercial break. I had my bags packed near the door and my remaining clothes were stuffed into a plastic sack, ready to sprint down to the rental van the moment Clara finished delivering the final lines of the script I wrote for her, but as the camera lens finally zoomed in on her face, my entire body went completely cold because she wasn't wearing the dark sunglasses anymore, and she was looking directly into the camera with a very serious expression that didn't look like a grieving mother at all. The rogue producer in the control room didn't cut the feed, and the live reporter next to her look
DEAR EX, IT'S TOO LATE FOR REGRET. Chapter Sixty-Five.
CONFRONTING THE ACTRESS.Emma’s POV.The elevator had barely reached the ground floor when I decided that I was not going to sit around the penthouse like a helpless victim while Nathan handled the security team, so I took my own car keys from the hook and drove straight toward the lower west avenue using the exact studio address I had copied from Nathan's phone screen, my heart pounding against my ribs as I navigated through the heavy city traffic until I pulled up right outside the small media warehouse. The front glass doors were already cracked where Nathan's guards had forced their entry, and the entire main lobby was completely chaotic with production assistants running around in total confusion, but I didn't stop to talk to any of them because I marched straight past the main stage and down a narrow corridor until I saw a plastic sign that said Dressing Room One, where the blonde woman was currently sitting by a small table while fixing her dark sunglass
DEAR EX, IT'S TOO LATE FOR REGRET. Chapter Sixty-Four.
THE LIVE BROADCAST SHOCK.Nathan’s POV.I was sitting at the table in my private study while reviewing the latest shipping contracts from our European branch, and the room was completely quiet until the small television screen on the wall suddenly flashed with a bright red breaking news banner that immediately caught my attention, forcing me to set my pen down as a local news reporter began speaking in a very excited voice about a major high-society scandal development. I pressed the remote control button to turn up the volume, and my chest tightened with immediate fury when the camera shifted to a dim studio setup where a blonde woman wearing dark glasses and a black coat was sitting next to a rogue news producer, her face looking remarkably like Vera from a distance as she pulled out a handkerchief and began to sob loudly into the microphone."Nathan, you need to come out to the living room right now because this live television interview is completel
DEAR EX, IT'S TOO LATE FOR REGRET. Chapter Sixty-Three.
THE PENTHOUSE LUNCHEON.Emma’s POV.The five high-society women were already sitting around the long dining table when the kitchen staff began serving the first course of fresh seafood, and I kept my back completely straight while pouring water into Chloe Vance’s glass, ignoring the strange delivery box that had been left on the terrace window ledge earlier because I needed to focus every single bit of my attention on the passive-aggressive comments that were starting to bounce across the room. Chloe adjusted her heavy pearl necklace and looked around the large living space with a small, fake smile on her face, her eyes lingering on the closed door of the girls' empty bedroom before she turned back to me with a very sharp expression that showed exactly why she had accepted my invitation today."Emma, dear, the penthouse looks absolutely wonderful, and we were all so incredibly surprised to read the sudden news in the morning papers about you adopt
