Once His Wife, Now His Regret CHAPTER FIFTY
Hearing that, Lucy stopped and then turned back around. Slowly. Like she was doing it against her will.I let my shoulders drop, lowered my head, pressed my lips together and looked up at her from under my brows, doing my very best impression of a child who knew they had done wrong and felt terrible about it. Which wasn't entirely an act.Lucy stared at me for a while. "You have to make it up to me," she said finally. Her voice was still a little stiff. Still carrying the leftover edges of hurt. "Properly."I said almost immediately."Of course. Absolutely. Whatever you want.""Today," she said. "Just us.""Just us," I agreed.She looked at me for one more moment, checking. Then she walked forward, closer to me and put her arms around my waist.I hugged her back. And for a second I just stayed there, my chin resting lightly on top of her head.“I am really sorry.”She pulled off a little, just enough to look at me, a smile on her face.“It’s fine now.”“Should we go now?”She nodded
Once His Wife, Now His Regret CHAPTER FORTY NINE
***CHARLOTTE’S POV***I rolled down the car window, leaning my face slightly into the open air. My eyes drifted shut as the breeze brushed against my skin—cool, soft, and very comforting.Just like yesterday.I was sure the group chat must have been in chaos by now.Not that I would know as I wasn’t in the group. Lucy was. And moreover even if I was, my phone had been on flight mode since yesterday, and I hadn’t bothered turning it off. I wanted Clyde to figure things out on his own and can’t wait to see what his action would be.Would he really force Flora to apologize to Charlotte Sinclair… or not?My thoughts cut off abruptly when my gaze caught the school gate and that robbed away whatever i had been thinking before. The image of Lucy flashing through my mind now looking at the school and I remembered I still owe her a promise. One I hadn’t fulfilled. She must be very angry at me.I lifted my wrist, checking the time. It’s already past three. Schools should have been closed by

There was silence everywhere, even on the phone. I was certain she was shocked as I had never raised my voice at her before.I took a deep breath and let it out slowly.She was my mother. She loved me, in her way. That was not in question. But there were things I would not let pass. Not from anyone. Not even from her."Lucy is my daughter." I kept my voice steady. "No matter what anyone says, she is mine and mine alone. Whatever her mother did is between me and her. Lucy is a child. She didn't choose any part of what happened. So she doesn't need to carry any of it."The silence stretched, but I knew she was still there."And I will not, for whatever reason, have her spoken about that way. Not by anyone." I paused. "And this is the last time I'm saying that, Mom."When she spoke again, her voice had shifted. Still firm, but softer at the edge."I'm only worried about you. That's all this is. Many women don't want to step into a situation like yours. They don’t want a stepdaughter. So

***ALEXANDER’S POV***I sat at the head of the table, my tablet lying flat in front of me, my gaze fixed on the reports. The voices of the Vantage Capital team filled the room as they presented. We had been here since nine in the morning, and it was almost noon now—with still no meaningful insight into their product.Though my eyes remained on the tablet, my attention was entirely on the voices in the background. I had already gone through their proposal before granting them this meeting, and I had to admit—it wasn’t particularly compelling. It certainly wasn’t worth betting any money on.Still, I gave them a chance, hoping they might offer something beyond what was written.But it was the same thing—word for word, like they were simply reading from the proposal they had sent me.As the presenter wrapped up, the CEO, Raymond Koh, stood and added,“And that concludes our presentation, Mr. Vaughn.”I didn’t look up immediately. My gaze remained on the report, as if I hadn’t heard him.“

“Is there something wrong?” I asked.Her eyes flickered around the room for a moment before settling on me. Then she smiled—small and controlled—as she dropped her phone on the table, folding her arms like nothing’s wrong.“No. Why would anything be wrong?”“Then how about you show us yours?” Lucy chimed in, folding her arm on the table, a smile on her face as if it’s exciting.Phina cleared her throat and shifted a little on her seat.“Well, I would love to, because you two are…” She let out a soft laugh, shaking her head. “I don’t even know what to say. But it sounds like you think I’m lying or something.”“Charlotte, Lucy, are you two not just too much? Why will she even do something like that?” Kate said, her nose flaring up.I couldn’t believe that after all these years, she still couldn’t quit her job as her lapdog. “No, it’s fine Kate. I understand. People like them, it’s normal for them to have some doubt.”People like us?I gave a small smile, “No, we didn’t mean it like tha

I felt something shifting in the room.Skepticism? Or was it amusement?Can’t really tell but invoiced some exchanging glances.Phina’s smile didn’t fade but it only sharpened. “You?” she asked with a mocking scoff. “Are you sure you’re not dreaming?”“Am I?”Phina gave a small, dismissive shake of her head. “Seriously, I’d advise you to be careful saying things like that. There are a lot of people out there claiming to be her—pretending to have access they don’t. And in the end? They just end up embarrassing themselves… or worse, scamming people.”“Mm.” Lucy nodded thoughtfully, as if taking the warning to heart. “Thank you. That’s very useful.”“But since you’re so close to her,” Lucy continued, “I assume you already know about the party.”There was a small pause, her eyes doing a quick wondering.“The party?” Phina repeated.“Yes.” Lucy smiled faintly. “The one where she’ll finally make a proper public appearance. Her first official reveal.”Whispers filled everywhere.“What party?
