Divorce and Regret: Chasing My Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 148 – A Sudden Shift
Natalie’s POVThe food truck park was glowing with fairy lights and neon signs, the air thick with the smell of grilled cheese, tacos, and something sweet like cinnamon waffles. People were laughing around us, music played from hidden speakers, and honestly…it was the first time all week I felt like I could breathe.Matthew handed me a paper cup filled with cold lemonade. “Extra ice,” he said with a smile. “You always look like you’re one sweat bead away from murdering someone when you’re stressed.”I snorted. “Wow. Such a compliment.”“You’re welcome,” he said brightly, bumping my shoulder.We settled at a wooden picnic table, the bench slightly wobbly but charming in its own way. For a minute, we just ate in comfortable silence—me with my chicken wrap, him with some massive overloaded hotdog that I was sure defied several health codes.Then he exhaled, long and steady.“Natalie,” he began, voice softer than usual, “I’ve been thinking.”My heart thudded. Oh no. Not this. Not now.“I
Divorce and Regret: Chasing My Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 147 – Torn About Many Things
Brandon’s POVA few days had passed, and I still wasn’t sure if what happened at Grandpa’s mansion had been real… or something my exhausted brain made up.Because there, in that dim, quiet room filled with dust and memories, Natalie had softened toward me. She had looked at me the way someone looks at a person they actually care about. She had stayed beside me—even when she could’ve left. In the car afterward, she’d spoken gently, carefully. Like she didn’t want to hurt me.For a moment, I’d almost believed… That she saw me and maybe felt something.But then Monday came.And in the office?She was back to being… Natalie Harris. The ruthless legal consultant I had hired. Not friendly. Not warm. But normal.Professional smiles. Crisp updates. Clear reports. And just enough eye contact to make me wonder if she was avoiding me or just genuinely drowning in work.And she wasn’t angry anymore, which was progress, but the distance— damn, it felt colder than before.This morning was no diffe
Divorce and Regret: Chasing My Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 146 – Towels and Pillows
Emma’s POVWater dripped down his chest. His hair was damp and pushed back. And his eyes—Oh god.His eyes were on me. On my mostly-bare body.“What—WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?!” I hissed, scrambling for the closest robe hanging behind the door.He blinked slowly… way too slowly… like he was taking his sweet time appreciating the situation.Then the bastard smirked.“Just observing,” he said lightly. “You have a habit of barging into rooms without checking.”“I stay here too!” I shot back, tugging the robe around me so hard I nearly strangled myself. “And I thought you weren’t here yet. You—you—just—get out!”Still laughing under his breath, he walked forward to pass me.And that’s when it happened.His arm brushed my bare arm—just the tiniest glide of warm, wet skin sailing across mine—but it was enough to send a bolt of electricity straight through me.I gasped. He definitely felt it.Because he paused. And angled his head. And looked at me like he knew exactly what he’d just done.“Yo
Divorce and Regret: Chasing My Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 145 – Helping Him Find Me
Natalie’s POVThe drive back to the city felt too quiet.Too intimate.Too dangerous.Brandon kept one hand on the wheel, the other resting loosely on his thigh, but his shoulders weren’t stiff anymore. They were relaxed—relaxed because of me.Which only made the pounding in my chest worse.“Thank you,” he said suddenly, breaking the silence. His voice was low, sincere. “For staying. For… listening and for being there with me.”I swallowed. “Sure.”Smooth, Natalie. Real smooth.It wasn’t sure for me. Nothing about tonight felt sure. Not when my pulse was doing sprints and my lungs forgot how to function. Not when he looked so raw, so open, that some protective instinct inside me kept reaching for him even when I shouldn’t.He exhaled, eyes still on the road. “I know I don’t say it much. But I mean it.”Great. Perfect. Why not make it harder for me?I forced myself to stare out the window, lights blurring past like streaks of gold. Anything to ground myself.But then the question slipp
Divorce and Regret: Chasing My Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 144 – The Lucas Catastrophe
Emma’s POVA chair scraped loudly beside me.Lucas dropped into it like he owned the resort. “Evening.”My soul left my body.Jeremiah straightened instantly, spine snapping into polite professionalism. “Mr. Ardent. Good evening, sir.”Lucas gave him a slow smile, the smile that should’ve been illegal. “Jeremiah. Lovely night, isn’t it?”I wanted to shove him into the ocean.“What are you doing here?” I hissed under my breath.He took a bite of the dessert he definitely did not buy and shrugged. “Eating.”I glared.He smiled wider.Jeremiah cleared his throat delicately. “Ms. Emma was just asking about tomorrow’s schedule. I was going over the sunrise activities and—”“Oh?” Lucas stretched his legs out, casual and obnoxiously confident. “I didn’t realize you two were having such an… intimate conversation.”I slapped my palm against my forehead. “Lucas.”Jeremiah blinked hard. “Sir, I assure you, I was only assisting Ms. Emma with—”“Sure,” Lucas cut in. “But hey—does your girlfriend k
Divorce and Regret: Chasing My Famous Lawyer Ex-Wife Chapter 143 – Jealousy and Envy
Nathan’s POVThe report hit my desk with a dull, humiliating thud.“We’re down twelve percent this week alone,” my sales department manager, Jason Andrews, said quietly. Too quietly. Like he was afraid if he spoke normally, I’d explode.He wasn’t wrong.I skimmed the numbers again, jaw locked.Twelve percent. In one damn week.Because of Vivian Sinclair and her poisonous mouth.Jason cleared his throat. “Sir, clients are panicking. They’re asking if there’s truth to the claims she made about Graveswell Holdings…”I rubbed my temples, a slow burn rising in my chest.“Goddamit, I didn’t even really work with her,” I muttered. “She used my company behind my back. And now I’m paying for it.”Jason hesitated, then added, “She’s been on two morning shows since last week, sir. The interviews are… not helping.”I slammed the file shut.“Fuck,” I said through my teeth. “She’s destroying the reputation I spent years building.”Jason cleared his throat carefully, like he was choosing every sylla
