Alicia’s POV

I watched Aron’s retreating figure and teased Everett, “Going straight to the president for back-door favors? You really are Everett Robinson of the U.S.”

“You’ve become quite the chatterbox in the past year,” he remarked, glaring at me expressionlessly.

I shrugged. “Well, you bet. After a year, the boss has changed a lot too—went from a married man to a desperate husband chasing his wife back.”

His thin lips curved slightly. “Provoking me won’t work. Even at my worst, I still have a child to hold me accountable. What about you? Ever been in a relationship? You seem so interested in my love life. What, do you have a crush on me?”

“….”

Damn it, who would be blind enough to have a crush on you!

Suppressing the urge to punch Everett in the face, I got back to the point. “Your ex-wife woke up, but she seems pretty upset. Ele

  • Regret After Divorce   Chapter 142 Custody Battle

    Scarlett’s POVI took the phone from Eleanor.Morgan rarely updated her Twitter, usually posting only official content when work required it. Her personal feed was sparse—just a lone “Happy New Year!”This time, however, she’d made an exception to speak up for me.Morgan was now a major name in the entertainment industry. A versatile actress, she excelled not only in acting but in several other arts, her cello skills being the most impressive. After five years in the industry, she’d secured the Best Actress award last year for her role in Heart Strings, successfully elevating her status to top-tier.A warm glow spread through me as I read Morgan’s Twitter post.I opened WhatsApp, found her contact, and sent a message.Scarlett: (Why didn’t you consult me first? Aren’t you afraid of getting burned?)Morgan: (Do you think I’ve been in the industry all these years for not

  • Regret After Divorce   Chapter 141 Love or gratitude

    Everett’s POVThere was a knock on the hospital-room door.Eleanor pushed it open and stepped inside. “Scarlett, Uncle and Aunt are on their way back.”As she spoke, her gaze shifted to me—a clear signal it was time for me to leave.But since I’d come, I had no intention of backing down.“I came not only to see you, but also to discuss something with your parents.”She frowned, clearly disagreeing. “My parents don’t know we were ever married. I only told them we parted ways amicably.”I was taken aback. “Why not?”“My family loves me deeply. They’re fiercely protective. When we divorced, things got ugly. If I’d told them the truth, knowing their tempers, they would have come looking for trouble. I didn’t want that. After all, setting aside our feelings, you’re still my savior.”My expression darkened. “So tha

    Everett’s POVI felt warmth in my heart at her words of thanks.I understood clearly that Scarlett was allowing me to hold her now solely because I was her hero.This embrace expressed her gratitude toward me—it had nothing to do with romantic love.Yet I felt profoundly content.I was also grateful to fate for allowing me to protect my girl with my own hands.Ten years ago, I had protected my girl.May I continue to protect my girl for the rest of my life.The hospital room was quiet.The two of us embraced each other in silence.This long-overdue embrace only deepened my sense of fate’s cruel irony.I sighed softly. “If only I had recognized you sooner. Then I could have explained everything earlier, and you wouldn’t have been tormented by those memories all these years. Though it’s a bit late now, I believe it’s not too late.”“It’s not too late.” She gently pushed me away, tilting her chin slightly as she looked up at me.Our eyes met. Her smile was gentle and sincere. “Everett, t

    Scarlett’s POVI froze at his words.Everett wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes. “I’m sorry it took me until today to recognize you.”“You…” My damp lashes fluttered as my rationality slowly returned. Only then did I realize how close I was to Everett.I hastily withdrew my hand, my gaze drifting away, unable to meet his eyes. “I’m sorry… I lost control of my emotions just now.”Just moments ago, when he yanked the quilt away, his familiar, handsome face had been inches from mine.That distance, that view—it was exactly the same as when he’d rushed into the burning building and lifted me off the ground.Fragments of memory churned and rolled in my mind, and my eyes stung with tears.So I lost control and grabbed his collar, losing control of my emotions.Everett gently ruffled my hair, then sat up straight, creating space between us to give me time to adjust.Several minutes passed in silence.He asked softly, “Are you feeling any better now?”I sniffed back a sob. “Much bett

    Everett’s POVHearing this, I froze.The Taylor family of California?“You mean the Taylor family founded by Karl Taylor, with Mason as the current head?”“Exactly!” He nodded. “Though they’ve kept a low profile these past ten years, that doesn’t mean they’ve fallen from grace. I hear they have considerable holdings in the U.K. too!”I was somewhat familiar with the Taylor family in California.As a fellow businessperson, I instinctively paid closer attention to powerful and outstanding commercial enterprises.It was while researching the Taylor Group that I learned the family had long since emigrated to the U.K. At the time, I felt a pang of regret—such a formidable enterprise ultimately extending its roots overseas.I came from a military background. Though injuries forced my retirement, my patriotic spirit remained ingrained. Choosing business was a necessity
