Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 38
Chris's POVI changed back into my work clothes, preparing to leave. Although most of my schedule had already been completed, that didn't mean I had no things to do as the company's owner.I have to start now, starting by observing ongoing projects and planning other collaborations, so that everything can run smoothly.A servant was waiting for me in case I needed help getting ready, though that was rare. I needed his presence for other things, especially regarding that woman.I turned my head slightly, looking at the man, who was already alert and about to receive my words. "How is that woman? Did she leave?"I don't know what she's been doing all this time, but all I know for sure is that she's been traveling and shopping in several places these days. I'm not too curious, but I still need to monitor her so she doesn't make any unwanted messes.After all, she's still my wife and some media outlets are looking to make a profitable article out of whatever they can get out of our story,
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 39
Chris's POVMy head ached with all the work I had to do over the past few hours. I'd underestimated the work I had left to do to the point where I'd forgotten that this pile of work wasn't fun for me at all.I looked at my secretary, staring at her, who was standing up while doing something on the tab she was holding. "Is there still a lot of work?""Yes, sir." He touched the tab screen and pointed it at me, specifically at the two rows of the schedule he had created. "As you can see, we have a meeting with the company's business partner in an hour."I could see another lineup of schedules that I would be doing in a day. There was a lot, and I only had two chances to rest in between after this and three more meetings.I closed my eyes, massaging my forehead as I listened to the words of my secretary, who was explaining that the colleague we were meeting held an essential project for the company, so I couldn't throw this schedule to another day.I, of course, understood and clearly rem

Nicole's POVI got out of my car together with Key. We had just finished work and intended to have lunch at my longtime favorite café, a place associated with people I hated, but I loved one of the dishes that could only be made at this café too much."You should try my favorite dish here, Key," I said with a smile, already imagining the taste of that dish on the tip of my tongue.Key nodded. "Of course, Miss. I was quite curious about the taste after Miss had mentioned it a few times. It's a pity that Young Master can't come.""Richard can't eat my favorite dish. It's too spicy for him."I've brought my son here before. When it was first served, he wanted to try it right away because it smelled so good, but within the first bite, my son's eyes were already watering, and he finished his drink first."Is it very spicy?" Key asked, sounding worried after hearing what I said about Richard.I shook my head. "No, it's not. There's melted mozzarella cheese on top, so it shouldn't be a probl
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 41
Nicole's POV"I refuse." I answered the man with a cold stare, disliking the fact that he was getting in my way.We had never even met, let alone known each other, but he was too bold to familiarize himself with me whom he had just met. My mood that had initially improved after inhaling the floral scent for a while seemed to vanish, replaced by a sense of discomfort at the man's appearance before me.I stepped past him, intending to go to my car which was still near the restaurant, but my hand was suddenly held and pulled by someone closer. That man. He seemed to dislike my reaction, but still tried to smile, coaxing."Come on, Miss. I just wanted to get to know you, is that okay?" The man said in an artificially soft tone. "You won't regret it once you know who I am."I frowned, increasingly displeased by the words of the man who was still trying to tease me. No matter how many times he persuades, my answer will still be the same because I have absolutely no intention of making conne

Nicole's POV"You, do-" The man groaned in pain before he could continue.Maybe he forgot because he was annoyed by my actions, but I still had my foot on his chest so I only needed to press the sole of my foot so that he couldn't do anything. His grip on my ankle was also useless because I was wearing thick boots."Take off... you!" He glared, gritting his teeth as he failed to break free earlier. His entire face looked flushed. "Why are you so strong, damn it?"I didn't answer, still keeping my weight on his chest with my boots, while thinking of what kind of thing could deter him. Looking at his appearance and the amount of cash he was holding, maybe the man was quite wealthy, but when it came to the law and the Duncan Family, I wasn't sure he could pay.That man could end up on the streets if I mentioned all my charges, but I also thought that spending time in court would be quite troublesome. I didn't have time to deal with this guy any longer because I still had a lot of importa

Nicole's POV"Stop pretending."I frowned in confusion at his accusatory response. The man I knew before wouldn't act recklessly like this, but there seemed to be a problem with him as long as I didn't meet him in person.As long as I've been watching the man through my laptop screen, he's always been cold and logical, caring only about himself and not wasting time just because he sees a woman who looks like the one he dumped.For as long as I've known her, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths if she felt she would benefit from the other party. The way of a businessman who only prioritizes profit over everything else.I gave him a sharp look. "I'm not pretending. We just met today, sir.""No, I'm pretty sure that you know me. I wouldn't react like this to someone I didn't know before." He stared at me intently then turned to one of his hands that had been on my cheek.The man smiled so faintly that it was barely visible. "While I was talking to myself, you also made no effort to dis

Nicole's POVMy mood wasn't feeling good at the moment. I was still thinking about my encounter with the man I didn't want to think about anymore and couldn't control the other bad memories that surfaced because of our encounter.I was annoyed that I couldn't do anything to him like when I finished off the guy who teased me before. I still had to hide my identity until my plan was finalized so I couldn't act on my emotions alone.I felt torn between being relieved to be able to control myself when dealing with Chris, but also disappointed for letting him touch me so casually. I had showered and changed when I got home, but that man's touch was still felt in certain places.I clenched my fists, wanting more and more to finish that man off if only I had another chance and didn't have to be hindered by my own plans."Mom." Richard called out to me softly after touching my cheek with his hand, making me aware of our current situation in the laboratory.I came here with Richard because I w
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 45
Chris's POVI got into the car, not saying anything on the way to the meeting place with the partner company with my secretary. The place was quite far, but we still had plenty of time since we didn't go anywhere else besides the cafe we went to a while ago.I stared out the window, still remembering that the woman's face was very similar to Nicole's. They looked so much alike that I thought she was her twin, but I knew that she had no other siblings and was the only child of the Martinez family before Adeline and her mother arrived.I turned to stare at my hands, clenching and unclenching them several times as I recalled how soft and warm the woman's face was, as well as how similar her body size was to mine when comparing her to the long-dead woman in my memory.They were really too similar to be declared as different people.During this long thought, I could feel Evan's gaze on my face when we stopped at the red light. She seemed to have gotten up the courage to ask me after a few
