HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 DAYS 20. A Night to Remember
Anna cleared her throat softly. Her head lowered as she hid the hand holding her phone behind her back. I watched every little movement carefully.Tilting my head, I studied her as she fumbled awkwardly in front of me. "Okay, whatever. What medicine is it... none of my business. So, what do you want to ride next?" I asked, changing the subject. No matter how hard I pushed, it seemed Anna had no intention of telling me.Yeah, maybe it was just vitamins. She had looked pale lately, and Vallen had probably prescribed them.Stop thinking about it, Dylan. You're only putting yourself in an awkward position if you keep wondering. Remember the saying, curiosity killed the cat. Better to let it go.Once she realized I wasn't interested in the medicine anymore, the dimness in Anna's eyes gradually disappeared. She straightened her back and pointed toward the Pirate Ship Ride before gesturing at the roller coaster currently in motion.Just two rides, yet my whole body immediately went cold.Dam
HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 DAYS 19. Just Not Attraction
"Dylan?" Anna's voice from behind startled me. "Did Lea call you?" she asked curiously.I slipped my phone into my pocket. "Yeah."Anna checked her phone. Her lips pressed into a thin line. Then she gave a small nod and smiled at me, her eyes curving into crescents."So it's already been an hour. That's okay, you can go." Her words caught me off guard."Then what about you?""I'll probably ask Vallen to keep me company," she said casually, but the words hit me square in the chest.As Anna walked away through the crowd, I watched her fiddle with her phone while heading toward the carousel she'd wanted to ride. I tilted my head back with a sigh.Damn it.Why didn't I like the thought of Vallen being with Anna?What right did I have to stop her from seeing that guy?Yeah, we were husband and wife. But...I clicked my tongue in irritation. Instead of leaving like Anna had told me to, I strode after her and snatched her phone from her hand.The screen showed Vallen's caller ID. So they'd a
HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 DAYS 18. The Way She Smiled
"Done talking to your boyfriend?" I taunted when Anna climbed back into the car after finishing her call with Vallen.She only shot me a brief glance before fastening her seatbelt. She ignored my question entirely.On the drive to the amusement park, I noticed she barely spoke. Her grip on her phone tightened until the veins on her hand stood out beneath her skin. What was she thinking about that had her looking so tense?I cleared my throat, trying to ease the chilly atmosphere, but Anna still refused to acknowledge me, not even with a glance. She kept her eyes fixed straight ahead, completely unfazed.The way she was acting made me let out an irritated sigh.I turned the steering wheel and pulled into the spacious parking lot. The distant sounds of music and excited screams drifted through the air.It had been a long time since I'd come to a place like this. Ever since entering the corporate world, all I'd done was work, work, and work.Even when I was with Lea, it had never crossed

"Then go ahead and cheat on me with Vallen."Anna's face immediately went pale. She blinked repeatedly, trying to hold back her tears, but in the end they slipped down her flushed cheeks.I looked away, unwilling to be consumed by guilt again. Instinctively, I took a step back."Then do it with Vallen if that's what will make you happy.""Do you really think I'm that kind of person? I'm not like you, Dylan." Anna lowered her head, her fists clenched at her sides. "I'm not someone who would stain my own marriage," she said firmly.For a moment, I simply watched Anna sobbing in front of me. How many times had I made her cry like this? I used to think Anna was much stronger than this.The thought lingered for a second before I brushed it aside. Anna hadn't become weak. If anything, I figured her emotional state lately was because our divorce was drawing closer. Maybe she'd simply stopped staying silent the way she used to.My head nodded unconsciously."Oh." The response came out short,

"Are you still there?" I asked Erwin after the call connected."Yeah, what's up, Mr. Dylan?" Erwin sounded puzzled. The noise in the background told me he was still at the hospital.I glanced toward the door, worried Lea might still be lingering outside my room. If she found out I'd sent Erwin to keep tabs on Anna, she'd be furious.After making sure no one was around, I focused on the conversation again."What is Anna doing there?"Erwin lowered his voice. "I can't hear what they're talking about, but it looks like an ordinary visit."One of my brows arched. "What do you mean, an ordinary visit?""If you think Mrs. Anna is having an affair with Dr. Vallen, you're probably mistaken, Mr. Dylan."Erwin was painfully direct, and his words caught me completely off guard."What are you talking about? I don't..." I groaned in annoyance, rubbing my suddenly warm face. "Forget it. Just go back to the office and take care of the files on my desk.""Are you sure?" Erwin asked hesitantly. "You r
HIS REGRET AFTER HER LAST 100 DAYS 15. Why Do I Care?
Anna let out an amused huff and looked away.For a moment, I regretted this decision.Why was this sudden guilt making me look like some idiot begging for her forgiveness?Damn it. I truly didn't understand.My grip tightened when Anna looked back at me. She seemed to be seriously considering what I was offering.Yeah, it was strange.At first, I'd strongly refused her request. Now I was the one offering it.Slowly, I descended the stairs until I reached the landing and stopped directly in front of her. Our eyes met, and in that instant I noticed the redness beneath her eyes and the swelling in her eyelids.Because Anna remained silent, I assumed she was accepting my offer.When I reached up to touch her face, her pupils trembled. My palm brushed against her soft skin, still slightly damp, probably from crying.“You’re not answering? I’ll take that as a yes, Anna.”I gently tilted her chin upward and leaned closer.For several moments, I studied her face.Wasn’t this what she wanted?

“You just don't know the reason,” I said, tugging lightly at the edge of his suit jacket.Dylan's steps came to a halt. He drew a deep breath before turning back toward me. I was still slumped weakly in my chair, my eyes swollen, sore, and burning. Even so, I refused to let him see how hurt I was.

"I'm fine, Father. I bumped my nose earlier," I lied.Fortunately, my father-in-law believed me without much question.Abraham glanced at the unmade bed behind me. His gaze softened. A faint smile touched his thin lips before he quickly pulled a handkerchief from his suit pocket."Use this to wipe

"Vallen, just pretend you never saw any of this," I said calmly."Damn it, Anna, what do you mean? How am I supposed to stay quiet after seeing something this unfair? You're fighting a disease while Dylan...""Vallen, this is my marriage."The firmness in my voice silenced him on the other end of t

I didn't know how long I had been lying on the floor.When I woke up, my head was throbbing and my entire body ached. Slowly, I pushed myself upright and rubbed my face. When I looked down, I found several dried drops of blood on the floor.Not wanting to dwell on it, I got up and walked into the b
