Sara's POV

"That's great," I dipped my head to sigh in relief, lifting it afterwards to present a passive face to Asher.

"She resumes today and I will need you to..." His words trailed off at the sound of a knock on his door.

It opened a crack and someone popped their head in first, "Um...Mr Herman?"

"Come on in Laila," Asher beckoned invitingly.

A young girl that looked to be a couple years younger than me stepped in. She had large, bright, doe eyes and her hair was packed into a ponytail.

  • REGRET UNTIL SHE SAYS GOODBYE    Chapter 304

    THIRD PERSON’S POVThe house was quiet when they arrived.Derek pulled into the driveway then turned off the ignition but kept the headlights on.Being that everyone was out, there was no one to receive them and the quiet driveway was the kind that would spook fear in the heart of a child home alone.Every sound was amplified, from the click of the car door as he unlocked it, to the quiet jingle of his keys when he turned off the ignition.He could even make out the rustling of his clothes and when that happened, he glanced to his side, then backwards, trying to see if he had woken either of them.He hadn’t, but a couple of minutes later, Danielle stirred without the noise.Slowly, she leaned forward in her seat to take a peek out the window, rubbing at her eyes hard.“We are home?” She mumbled, voice hoarse and barely audible from sleep.Derek nodded, “Yes, we are.”He got out of the car quietly after, then headed over to the backseat, pulling the door open with equally gentle moveme

  • REGRET UNTIL SHE SAYS GOODBYE    Chapter 303

    THIRD PERSON’S POV It was only a couple of minutes, he had only spent a few minutes on his phone but within those minutes, Danielle was already fully asleep, curled slightly against the cushioned seat.He hadn’t even seen when she had done that and the unamusing thing was that Sara was also asleep.He should have known when her head was slumped earlier, that she would fall asleep soon enough but at the same time, he didn’t think she actually would.Nor did he think that Danielle would fall asleep so fast too.Derek didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at the sight.He stared intermittently at the both of them for a couple of minutes, confirmed that neither of them would wave up then came to a decision.Quietly, he signaled the waiter to approach with the bill, signaling for him to be quiet.Before the waiter could set it down, Derek reached for the bill folder and slid his card inside.Quickly he made payment then dismissed the man after the receipt was signed.Once the waiter was gon

    SARA’S POVOur wine arrived first, and then a fruit juice for Danielle who didn’t hesitate to open it up.She would have taken a sip directly from the carton but I snatched it from her before she could.“What have I told you about this?” I chastised, giving her a hard glare.She sucked her bottom lip into her mouth, “sorry, Mommy.”I didn’t dwell on it but reached for a glass instead and poured one for her.She took it with a small smile while I set it down, only to find Derek watching me.It was that same look from earlier, the one I couldn’t understand nor decipher.I cleared my throat and he averted his gaze while I closed the juice and leaned back in my seat, suddenly wishing there was something else to do so I wouldn’t have to be discomfited by the silence.Unable to stand it for longer than a couple of minutes, I cleared my throat for the upteenth time today then blurted out without thinking twice, "Thank you for luck today.”“You should say that to Danielle,” Derek nudged his h

  • REGRET UNTIL SHE SAYS GOODBYE    Chapter 301

    SARA’S POVThe restaurant was a very upscale one.Even if I didn’t know about places like this, the valet service and the soft lighting, decorations and ambience of the place, the furnishings and all of that was enough for me to be able to tell that it was a very expensive one.My eyes flicked to Danielle.Hadn’t she said she was the one who picked out this place.She sure had expensive taste like her father. I would have said grandmother but Derek’s mother, Bethany, had a taste I considered over the top sometimes whereas Derek’s was…perfect.The entire way here, I had felt like I was in a simulation that I had been forced into against my will and the whole drive, I didn’t make a peep.Danielle, thankfully, had decided to focus her attention on Derek and all her questions were directed towards him.There were times she asked me questions I deemed difficult and that I thought Derek wouldn’t answer but he did each time and every time he did that, I found myself staring at him.This was

  • REGRET UNTIL SHE SAYS GOODBYE    Chapter 300

    SARA’S POVI wasn’t expecting to see them.No one has given a heads up or anything, it was like they had just spawned out of thin air and the instant I saw them, standing in the lobby, waiting for me, my heart skipped a beat I deemed unnecessary.My heart nearly flew out of my chest and for the briefest second after that, I found myself thanking God that I had rejected Lena’s offer to walk me down.Oh God, if she had done so….She would have seen me with Derek.Derek, who we partnered with, alongside Alyssa who everyone thought was his girlfriend. I couldn’t imagine the embarrassment of having to face Lena, and introduce Derek to her as my husband.The ironic fact about it was that if that eventually did end up happening, I had no one to blame but myself.I should have told her before now, but I told myself that I didn’t want too many people knowing about my dysfunctional family life and that I always could after I got divorced from Derek.That day hadn’t happened yet and I thanked my

  • REGRET UNTIL SHE SAYS GOODBYE    Chapter 299

    THIRD PERSON'S POV"It's a question."Derek's brows creased in bewilderment.Of course he knew it was a question. Wasn't that why he asked, so he could get a response?Why then was she reminding him as if he didn't know the difference between a question and an ordinary statement."I know," he muttered, trying to ease the crease of her brows. "I know it's a question," he repeated for emphasis, still waiting for her to tell him if she already had lunch or not."Why do you ask?" Sara repeated.What she didn't know was that her expression mirrored Derek's right now.Her brows were also faintly creased, but only because she didn't understand why he would ask her that out of the blue."Just answer the question, Sara," She heard Derek say, backed with a faint sigh that she thought she must have misheard."No, I have been busy," She muttered then lightly bit on a corner of her lips still wondering why he was questioning her about this.A moment of silence passed between them and she was temp
