Ronal entered Calvin’s office again with a tense expression. His steps were slower than before, as if he had already anticipated his master’s reaction.

“Young Master,” he called carefully.

Calvin was still standing near the window. He didn’t turn around. “What is it now?”

Ronal swallowed. “I apologize. The woman we found… turned out not to be Madam.”

The air in the room instantly grew tense.

Calvin turned around slowly. His gaze was sharp. “What did you say?”

“From a distance, her features looked similar, but after further investigation, her identity was different,” Ronal explained quickly. “She is not Madam Camelia.”

Several seconds passed in oppressive silence.

“Incompetent,” Calvin finally said, cold and heavy. “Utterly incompetent.”

Ronal lowered his head. “I’m sorry, Sir.”

“Search again,” Calvin ordered without hesitation. “Expand the area. Don’t limit it to this city. I don’t care how.”

“Yes, Sir.”

Calvin stepped closer. “And tell the team,” he continued, his voice low but threa

  • His Regret Began When I Abandoned Him   Chapter 20

    Morning had not fully brightened when Calvin opened his eyes. He was sitting on the sofa in the guest room, his suit hanging on the back of a chair. He had barely slept all night. Every time he closed his eyes, what appeared instead was Camelia’s face, standing stiffly in the restaurant the night before.A soft cough came from the bedroom.“Calvin…” Samantha called weakly.Calvin stood up and immediately went into the room. Samantha was half-sitting on the bed, her face pale, her hair loose and messy.“You’re awake?” Calvin asked.“I’m dizzy again,” Samantha complained while holding her temple. “I think I had a fever last night.”Calvin touched her forehead. “You’re not warm.”Samantha bit her lip. “But my head feels heavy. Don’t go yet, okay?”Calvin fell silent. He glanced at the watch on his wrist, then unconsciously looked toward the door.“I just want to step out for a bit,” he said at last.“Where are you going?” Samantha asked quickly, her tone rising before she softened it aga

  • His Regret Began When I Abandoned Him   Chapter 19

    Chapter 19The apartment door closed softly behind Camelia.Camelia immediately leaned against the door. Her chest rose and fell unevenly. She closed her eyes for a few seconds, trying to calm the heavy breathing that had plagued her since earlier.“Finally…” she murmured softly.Aurora turned her head, still hugging her teddy bear. “What’s wrong, Mama?”Camelia opened her eyes and smiled faintly. “It’s nothing. Mama is just tired.”Daven placed his small bag on the sofa. “At the restaurant earlier, Mama looked scared.”Camelia fell silent for a moment. She walked closer, then knelt in front of her two children.“It wasn’t fear,” she said softly. “Mama just didn’t want any trouble.”“What kind of trouble?” Aurora asked innocently.Camelia stroked her daughter’s hair. “Adult problems. You don’t need to think about them.”Daven studied his mother’s face carefully. “That man… he really isn’t Dad?”The question made Camelia tense for a split second. But she quickly regained her composure.

    Chapter 18Camelia stiffened instantly. Her heart pounded hard as Aurora’s innocent words slipped out just like that.“Yeah… is he our dad?”Camelia quickly lowered her head, trying to control her expression so it would not show panic. Her hand reflexively tightened its grip on both children’s fingers.“Don’t speak carelessly,” she said softly, but firmly.Daven looked at Camelia with a frown. “But his face looks like mine, Mom. Aurora said so too.”Camelia let out a breath, then knelt down so she was at their eye level. She gently held Daven’s and Aurora’s shoulders.“Listen carefully,” she said slowly. “Your father is already at peace in heaven. That man just happens to look similar. In this world, there are many people whose faces resemble each other.”Aurora tilted her head. “Really?”“Yes,” Camelia answered without hesitation. “Mama is not lying.”Daven fell silent for a few seconds, then nodded slightly. “If Mama says so, I believe it.”Aurora nodded as well. “I believe Mama too

    Chapter 17That morning, the air in New York felt colder than usual. Camelia had been ready since dawn. She wore a long cream-colored coat, her hair neatly tied back. In the living room, Aurora sat hugging her teddy bear, while Daven stood near the sofa with a small backpack on his shoulders.“Are you ready?” Camelia asked while checking the watch on her wrist.Aurora nodded. “Ready, Mama.”Daven did not answer right away. He pressed his temple for a moment.“How’s your head?” Camelia immediately moved closer.“It’s still a little dizzy,” Daven answered honestly. “But I’m strong.”Camelia looked at her son anxiously, then sighed. “We have to leave now. We can’t be late.”They went downstairs and got into a taxi that was already waiting in front of the building. Camelia gave the hospital address firmly. The driver nodded, and the car started moving.Along the way, Camelia kept looking at the time. Ten minutes passed smoothly, until the car finally slowed down.“Why did we stop?” Cameli

  • His Regret Began When I Abandoned Him   Chapter 16

    Chapter 16The door to Calvin’s apartment opened just as the clock hands pointed to nearly midnight.Samantha walked in with quick steps, kicking off her high heels carelessly. The moment she saw Calvin standing in the living room, still wearing his work shirt, her face immediately brightened.“Calvin!” she exclaimed.Without waiting for a response, Samantha rushed forward and hugged him from the front, her slender arms wrapping around the man’s waist. The scent of expensive perfume spread through the air.“I missed you,” she said coquettishly, pressing her cheek against Calvin’s chest.Calvin was startled for a moment, then lightly patted Samantha’s back. “You just got home?”“Yes,” Samantha replied as she looked up. “I had dinner with friends. Exhausting.”She smiled and leaned closer, lifting her lips clearly intending to kiss him.Calvin immediately turned his face away.“Tata,” he said shortly.Samantha froze. Her hands slowly dropped. “Why?”Calvin took a breath. “I’m tired. The

    Chapter 15Six years later.New York International Airport had not changed much. But for Camelia Collyn, the place felt foreign and suffocating at the same time.She stood near the international arrivals exit, pushing a large suitcase with one hand. On her right side, a little girl with dark brown hair hugged a teddy bear almost as big as her body. On her left side, a little boy was busy looking around.Camelia took a long breath.Finally… I’m back.Her phone vibrated. Juna’s name appeared on the screen.Camelia answered it. “Brother.”“Have you arrived?” Jonathan’s voice came from the other end, slightly broken because of the time difference.“Yes. I just left the airport,” Camelia replied while glancing at her two children.“I’m still in Milan. Sorry I can’t pick you up,” Jonathan said. “The apartment is ready. I’ll send the location to your phone.”“It’s okay,” Camelia replied quickly. “I understand.”“How is Daven’s condition?” Jonathan asked, his voice immediately turning serious
