Scarlett’s POV

After more than ten hours on a plane, I was completely drained. All I wanted was a hot shower and my bed.

“Sorry, Ms. Taylor, I just got too excited,” Noah said as he rushed to open the back door of the car for me.

I gave him a faint smile and slid into the back seat. Eleanor followed behind, and Noah began loading our luggage into the trunk.

Once inside, Eleanor leaned toward me with a smirk. “Told you. Noah won’t be the last one acting like that.”

I sighed and closed my eyes, muttering, “If Uncle Robart weren’t so close to my family, I wouldn’t even bother showing up.”

Writing, for me, was about passion, not fame, not money. I didn’t need the world’s applause. And I certainly didn’t crave it.

Noah finished buckling in, then turned around with a grin. “Alright then, Miss Taylor. I’ll take you to the hotel now.”

“Thanks,” I said, then added, “And give me your books.”

“Here you go!” he said quickly, handing over a hefty stack of novels.

Eleanor took them from him before

  • Regret After Divorce   Chapter 271 He Must Uphold Male Virtue

    Scarlett’s POV:I hadn’t expected Everett to agree so readily.“Don’t you have anything to say?”“I respect any decision you make,” he said, looking at me with an earnest expression. “Not just resigning… whatever path you choose in the future, I will support you unconditionally.”“Really?” I stared at him for a moment before raising an eyebrow, my tone laced with disbelief. “You’ll support me no matter what I do?”“Yes.”“Very well. Remember what you said.”I turned and walked out.Everett grabbed his suit and followed me.Outside, I noticed Davis standing near the villa’s main gate, directing the workers.I approached him.Spotting me, he immediately bowed. “Madam.”“What are you doing?”“Sir instructed us to replace this plaque,” he explained, then added cautiously, “Sir feels the name ‘Green Lake’ doesn’t sound quite right.”Hearing that, I was a little surprised.We had lived in this house for three years—why did he only now find the name unpleasant?I had always thought he liked

  • Regret After Divorce   Chapter 270 She Began Living for Herself!

    Scarlett’s POV:My biological clock was set in stone—I woke up at seven o’clock sharp every morning.My mind was still foggy as I lay in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling for a moment.Five minutes later, I stretched lazily, rubbed my eyes, and sat up.I had slept reasonably well that night… strictly speaking, it was the best sleep I’d had in over two months.Pulling back the covers, I stepped out of bed and walked into the bathroom.After washing up, I applied skincare products and put on simple, light makeup. Just as I picked up the comb, something suddenly occurred to me, and I set it back down.In the past, I had always followed Everett’s instructions—wearing only a uniform to work, my hair tied in a ponytail, black-rimmed glasses… stiff and uninspired.I had finally come to terms with it.No matter how much I loved Everett, I couldn’t lose myself for love.From today onward, I would gradually reclaim myself… the confident, capable woman I once was.As for Everett, I would let t

  • Regret After Divorce   Chapter 269 Fine, I will give you one more chance

    Scarlett’s POV:I had been furious, but let’s be real… when a girl hears the man she likes compliment her looks, there’s no way she can stay upset!Still, I kept my expression icy. “If you like me, then why did you want to keep our marriage secret?”“The secret marriage was initially for your protection,” he explained earnestly. “You know my family’s situation. My car accident was an intentional assassination attempt orchestrated by internal family infighting. Before I could confirm who was behind it and gain complete control over the family, how could I dare let them know you were my wife?”I frowned thoughtfully, conceding the logic.Grandfather had even sent Everett’s mother to New York to hide after she was nearly blown up. For safety’s sake, a secret marriage did make sense.That must be why Grandfather never pushed us to have children or hold a wedding ceremony these past three years… everything was tied to the family feud.“So have you resolved it now?”He nodded. “It’s settled

  • Regret After Divorce   Chapter 268 Please Don’t Leave Me, Okay?

    Scarlett’s POV:I had been furious a moment ago, but Everett’s sudden, desperate plea left me stunned.I couldn’t shake the feeling that today’s Everett was different from the man I knew.I furrowed my brows, studying him carefully.Could a single dream really change him this much?“What do you mean by your dream where I left?”“It was a dream where you were disappointed in me… and rejected me.” His hand trembled slightly as he held mine. “Scarlett, I was too slow to realize things before. I didn’t know how to express myself, but that dream made me see my own heart clearly. I love you. I truly love you.”“…”This was a side of Everett I had never seen before.A single dream brought about such a profound change?Looking at the man kneeling before me, I couldn’t help but feel he wasn’t being entirely truthful.From the very beginning, this love had been entirely one-sided.Throughout all three years of our secret marriage, every step closer between us had been initiated by me.To say I

  • Regret After Divorce   Chapter 267 Even If I Start Over, Am I Still Destined to Lose Her?

    Scarlett’s POV:Caught off guard by the direct question, Everett seemed momentarily stunned—almost flattered.After a moment of silence, he abruptly stood up. “Wait here for me!”I frowned as I watched him walk into the kitchen.Before long, he returned… holding two packets of instant noodles.I blinked, utterly baffled.He approached me, bent down, and placed the instant noodles on the floor. Then, under my bewildered gaze, he positioned his knees over the packets, bent down, and knelt on top of them.“…”The noodles crackled under the weight they were never meant to bear.I was dumbfounded.Had the world turned into a fantasy?The man who was always proud and aloof… actually knelt?Snapping out of my shock, I finally found my voice. “Everett, what are you—”“Scarlett, I’m sorry.” His dark eyes locked onto mine as his deep voice carried solemn sincerity. “I was wrong. I shouldn’t have taken your casual remarks so seriously. And I shouldn’t have let those rumors spread just out of spi
