That night became the longest and most torturous night of Elena’s life.

For the first time in five years, she had to leave her side of the bed empty, without the warmth of Leo’s small body that had always been beside her. The emptiness felt painfully real, as though half of herself had been ripped away along with her son.

Every passing second seemed unbearably slow, gnawing away at her emotional resilience little by little until she was nearing the brink of collapse.

  • His Biggest Regret Was Me   Chapter 104: The Interception

    The dinner party at the Vanguard family residence had finally come to an end. As dessert was served and the conversations about corporate politics gradually died down, Charlie immediately rose from his seat. He straightened his expensive suit with a firm gesture, showing no intention whatsoever of spending another minute in that den of wolves."I must take my leave," Charlie said curtly. His voice was flat, but his tone left no room for argument.Stevani's father paused as he was adjusting his napkin and cast the young man a scrutinizing look. However, before the head of the Vanguard family could say anything, Stevani had already risen and hurried after Charlie."Charlie, wait!" she called out as she caught up with him on the main terrace.Her beautiful face betrayed her displeasure, although she tried to maintain her graceful composure."I'll drive you back to your hotel. It's already late. It wouldn't be right to let you go back alone."Charlie stopped walking and turned toward her,

  • His Biggest Regret Was Me   Chapter 103: The Mask of Perfection

    Silence enveloped the corner of the banquet hall for several seconds. Elena Victoria stood motionless in her elegant evening gown, trying to read William Vanguard's expression, which appeared so natural. The way the man mentioned Leo by name and asked about his private mansion revealed a level of familiarity that no ordinary business partner could possibly possess."Leo is fine, Mr. William," Elena finally replied. Her voice sounded soft, but an invisible wall of defense lay beneath it. "He's busy with his school activities."William chuckled softly. A warm smile spread across his handsome face. "I'm glad to hear that. I was worried when I heard that you'd been on complete bed rest for the past few weeks. You know, Elena... you always work too hard and forget to take care of yourself."The man took a step closer, then slightly turned his body to gaze at Elena's reflection in the glass wall. The light in his eyes conveyed such deep concern—a gaze crafted to perfection to unsettle the h

    The ringing of the doorbell shattered the silence of the suite.Charlie rose from his seat. He straightened his shirt for a moment before walking toward the door and pulling it open.Standing at the doorway was Stevani Vanguard, looking elegant in a maroon evening gown that accentuated the curves of her figure.The moment the door swung open, Stevani immediately closed the distance between them. She stretched out both arms, intending to wrap them around Charlie’s neck in a warm embrace.However, with a cold reflexive movement, Charlie took a step backward instead. Stevani’s fingers grasped nothing but empty air.Ray was nowhere to be seen inside the room. Before allowing Stevani to enter, Charlie had ordered his personal assistant to hide temporarily in the inner office area to keep the situation under control.Stevani stepped inside with a faint, sarcastic smile. Her sharp gaze immediately fell on the glass table in the middle of the room, where several thick files were spread out.H

  • His Biggest Regret Was Me   Chapter 101: The Strategic Retreat

    The afternoon slowly faded as the car driven by Charlie cut through the heavy traffic of City B, heading toward the five-star hotel where he was staying during his time in the city.As soon as he arrived, Charlie strode confidently into the grand hotel lobby, its marble floors reflecting the glow of the crystal chandeliers overhead.However, his steps came to a halt when his eyes caught sight of a tall man in a gray suit standing calmly near the main pillar.Ray—his personal assistant from Zurich—was already there.Charlie was slightly surprised to find his trusted aide had appeared without any prior notice."Ray, have you been waiting long?" Charlie asked as he closed the distance between them.Ray bowed respectfully with an exceptionally measured gesture. "It's no problem, Mr. Vane. I know your schedule has been extremely hectic lately.""Why didn't you contact me before flying here?" Charlie asked as he adjusted the position of his watch."I was worried that if I contacted you with

    A soft chuckle came from the other end of the phone. The voice sounded coquettish, yet to Charlie's ears, every intonation felt cold and piercing.“Why do you have to sound so tense whenever you receive a call from your own fiancée, Mr. Vane?” she asked, followed by a sigh that sounded deliberately mocking.Charlie tightened his fingers around the metal balcony railing, staring out at the expanse of skyscrapers in City B from the upper floors of Aethel Corp.“Stevani, I'm busy,” Charlie said flatly, emphasizing each syllable with unmistakable firmness. “If you don't have anything crucial to say, I'll end this call right now.”“Oh, busy?” Stevani whispered sarcastically from the other end. “Busy taking care of and looking after your poor ex-wife?”Charlie fell silent.He chose not to respond. He knew perfectly well that indulging the jealousy of that heiress would only provoke a lengthy confrontation that would benefit no one.“Mr. Vane, don't pretend you've forgotten,” Stevani continu

  • His Biggest Regret Was Me   Chapter 99: The Eclipse of Truth

    For the first time in his life, Charlie fed Elena until she finished every last spoonful of the warm turnip porridge. Watching the woman he loved so deeply obediently accept each bite brought a faint sense of peace to his heart.If caring for her and devoting himself to her like this could atone for his sins while easing the regret over their past, Charlie swore he would do it without stopping until Elena's memories had fully returned.Before they knew it, the black sedan had come to a stop right in front of the grand entrance of an international school.A bodyguard immediately hurried over to open the door. Leo was preparing to get out of the car. However, before actually stepping outside, the boy turned around, wrapped his arms around Elena's neck, and planted an affectionate kiss on his mother's cheek."Mommy, I'm going to school now, okay?" Leo whispered cheerfully."Be careful in class, sweetheart," Elena replied as she gently caressed her son's smooth cheek.Before Leo could ste
