Everett’s POV:

In her heart, I was no different from anyone else.

Though I had mentally prepared myself long ago, the suffocating ache in my chest still left me breathless when faced with reality.

I gave a faint chuckle. “I don’t have any immediate demands. If you insist on being so precise, then keep it for now.”

“Fine.” She didn’t press me. “My word to my parents is final. Whatever you ask for, we will fulfill it.”

I watched her earnest expression and suddenly asked, “What if I asked you to remarry me?”

Scarlett seemed to have anticipated the question; her lips curved into a faint smile. “You won’t.”

Her absolute certainty left me feeling utterly defeated.

And she was right.

I couldn’t possibly make such a demand. Even if she ended up with another man—no matter how agonizing or maddening it became—I would never stoop to such a despicable request.

“Any other questions?” she asked.

I shook my head, utterly dejected.

Seeing my state, she said no more.

She stood up. “Then get some rest.

  • Regret After Divorce   Chapter 250 Angel is both beautiful and bright… all thanks to her mother

    "Everett’s POV:The minor interruption didn’t trouble Scarlett at all. In that moment, her heart and eyes were filled entirely with our daughter.Though she wasn’t breastfed, Angel recognized Scarlett’s voice and scent. No matter how much she adored me—her father—a child’s dependence on her mother always came first. Held in Scarlett’s arms now, she was visibly excited, her tiny mouth puckering as she cooed and gurgled, as if trying to talk to her.“Why do I feel like she understands me?” she murmured softly, gently patting our daughter’s soft cheek. “Her eyes are full of wonder… my Angel is truly amazing.”I watched the mother-daughter interaction from the side, feeling my heart fill completely.Glancing at the bird’s nest soup on the table, I said quietly, “She’s very smart. She must take after you.”Hearing this, she shot me a playf

  • Regret After Divorce   Chapter 249 Shouldn't I get a kiss too?

    "Lily’s POV:Meanwhile, downstairs was bustling with activity.Angel had heard her mother’s voice earlier and waited in vain for her to come pick her up. Unwilling to accept being ignored, she began to cry.The little girl cried with a sense of injustice, her soft, babyish voice making “wah-wah” sounds. Her crying was sweet, but the tears rolling down her cheeks were rather large.This was genuine crying.My heart ached. I rocked Angel back and forth in the living room, but no matter how hard I tried to comfort her, the crying wouldn’t stop.Everett couldn’t bear to see his daughter cry like that. He quickly washed his hands in the bathroom and came over to take Angel from me.The moment Angel was in her father’s arms, she stopped crying immediately.“Oh my, Daddy’s arms are the best, huh?” I smiled, watching Angel stop crying the instant she nestled into her father&rs

  • Regret After Divorce   Chapter 248 You said the same thing holding our daughter last night

    "Everett’s POV:After an unknown length of time, Scarlett’s legs grew too weak to bear her weight. Unable to resist any longer, she pushed lightly against my chest. Only then did I reluctantly release her.Both of us were breathing heavily. She didn’t seem to have the courage to look into my eyes just yet, so Scarlett buried her face in my chest to steady her heartbeat.“Wait a bit before we go out,” she murmured.Her face burned hot—I knew it was bright red without even looking, and she certainly didn’t want anyone to see her flushed cheeks.I held her close, hearty laughter rumbling from my chest.Scarlett bit her lip and gave me another light punch.I stopped laughing. My large hands settled on her small back, gently rubbing through the fabric.We embraced, savoring this hard-won moment of solitude.This was the first time Scarlett had willingly allowed such physical closeness with me since giving birth.Having undergone a C-section, Scarlett had been careful to rest for a month af

  • Regret After Divorce   Chapter 247 A Man’s Waist Isn’t Something to Mess With

    "Scarlett’s POV:My cheek pressed against his chest as his voice—low and deep—resonated through his ribcage into my ears, like the rich, magnetic tone of a cello.My eyelashes fluttered slightly as my thoughts raced.I lifted my head to ask, “So, you rushed over to confront the show’s producers and stop them from sabotaging me?”Everett cleared his throat. He knew there was no hiding it from me. “Yes. The entertainment industry is messy. You don’t like exposing your background. Even though ‘Shadow’ is popular, it’s all about capital operations. Those without connections always become targets.”“I understand what you mean,” I replied. I wasn’t completely naive. “I know you care about me, but rest assured—I’ve looked into this production team. So far, they’ve been fair and transparent. Everyone is competing based on their own merits. If I spot anyone pulling strings behind the scenes, I won’t tolerate it.”“Alright, I underestimated you.” Everett gently pinched my earlobe between his fi

  • Regret After Divorce   Chapter 246 Shadow, You Are So Beautiful

    "Scarlett’s POV:I remained far more composed than the audience and fans watching the live stream when confronted with Wesley's sharp questioning.I smiled before speaking. “I don’t deny what you said. It’s true that over the past few years, I’ve stayed within my comfort zone, writing what I’m good at and what audiences respond to. Perhaps I haven’t broken new ground in innovation, but at least within this genre, I haven’t disappointed anyone. Of course, I’m not opposed to breaking out or changing. I know I still have much to learn and improve upon. If I thought I could stay in my comfort zone forever, I wouldn’t be here on this show today.”My response was straightforward—neither sentimental nor pretentious.Wesley nodded after listening. “Your answer is honest. I like honest people. And the plot outline you wrote today is quite innovative—it breaks away from the typical formula of previous youth dramas. I consider that innovation. So, my vote goes to you.”Thunderous applause erupte

  • Regret After Divorce   Chapter 245 Postpartum Comeback

    Scarlett’s POV:The return trip was quickly finalized for the morning two days later.Upon learning of our return, Lily and Nancy immediately summoned the household staff to help with packing.I didn’t have much luggage. Lily had intended to pack for me, but Everett insisted on handling it himself.Seeing how eager he was, Lily didn’t argue.Everett proved surprisingly skilled at packing. He organized everything meticulously, categorizing each item with precision—arguably even neater than Lily would have done.Watching Everett’s handiwork, I couldn’t help but marvel inwardly. No wonder he had been in the military—his practical skills were simply unmatched.I recalled how I used to pack Everett’s bags whenever we traveled for work. I never imagined the tables would turn like this.This feeling… wasn’t half bad.Three days later, at 5:00 PM local time, a private
