Vienna’s POV

Monica’s eyes flashed for a second. But she quickly pasted on a look of wounded dignity, clutching her pearl necklace.

"How dare you, Warren? After all I’ve done for you, you speak to your poor stepmother like this?" Her voice trembled just enough to make her look like the victim.

I watched her carefully—and in that moment, it hit me. This was where Desiree got her flair for drama. The same practiced self-pity, the same crocodile tears, the same knack for twisting a scene.

  • Regretful Heart: CEO's Tears Over Her Pregnancy   Chapter 398 - Three Month Trial

    Vienna’s POVMy heart cracked clean open.Warren softened instantly, crouching down to Oliver’s level. "Hey, hey… buddy," he said gently. "It’s okay. Your mommy just needs a little space, alright?"Oliver shook his head fiercely. "No she doesn’t! Mommy wants you here too! Right, mommy?"Both of them looked at me.I froze."I—I…" I stammered, completely caught off guard.Oliver took a step closer. "We’re family, mommy."His words hit me straight in the chest."I love it when daddy is here with us," he continued, his voice smaller now, more vulnerable. "It feels… nice."Warren glanced up at me, his expression careful, cautious—like he didn’t want to overstep."I don’t want to make things harder for your mom," he said softly to Oliver. "She’s been through a lot lately.""But I’ve been through stuff too!" Oliver insisted, his little hands balling into fists. "My daddy was gone for a long time. And now he’s back. Why can’t he stay?"Silence fell. Because… how do you argue with that?I swa

  • Regretful Heart: CEO's Tears Over Her Pregnancy   Chapter 397 - Luna’s Love

    Vienna’s POVLuna padded softly into the living room, her nails clicking lightly against the floor. For a moment, neither of us noticed her—we were too wrapped up in the heavy silence that had settled between us.Then she let out a small, pleading whine.I looked down just as she placed her fluffy head gently on Edward’s lap, her dark eyes gazing up at him with unmistakable affection.Edward let out a quiet breath, his hand automatically coming down to stroke her fur."Hey, girl," he murmured. "You always know when something’s off, don’t you?"Luna’s tail wagged faintly, as if in response.My chest tightened painfully.God… Luna. This house. The life we had started building here.All of it—every piece—had Edward’s fingerprints on it. The surprises. The laughter. The safety I had thought I’d found.My throat closed up as I watched him with her.I gave him a tearful smile, my voice trembling. "You’ve been so good to me, Edward… to us. I don’t want this to end."His hand stilled for just

  • Regretful Heart: CEO's Tears Over Her Pregnancy   Chapter 396 - Ex-planations

    Vienna’s POVMy fingers trembled as I typed the message."Glad you’re alive. You can come over anytime."Three little dots appeared almost instantly, then disappeared again. Then appeared again.Relief washed over me. Edward was there. Somewhere out there. Alive. Safe.I locked my phone and looked up to find Warren watching me carefully from across the room, his expression quiet but perceptive."That was him?" he asked gently.I nodded. "Yeah. He… wants to come over. To explain."Warren held my gaze for a moment, then gave a small, understanding nod. "Do you want me to take Oliver out for a bit?"My heart squeezed at the kindness in his voice. No jealousy. No pressure. Just… support."I think that might be good," I admitted softly.Just then, Oliver came barreling into the room, clutching one of Luna’s toys."Mommy! Look, Luna thinks this is her baby!" he giggled, holding up the slobbery plush.I forced a smile, brushing his hair back. "That’s very sweet, honey."He looked between War

  • Regretful Heart: CEO's Tears Over Her Pregnancy   Chapter 395 - Buried Love

    Vienna’s POVAs I looked into Warren’s eyes, something shifted inside me. There was no urgency in his gaze, no pressure, no demand. Just… presence. Warmth. Understanding.And love. Real love. The kind that didn’t try to prove itself. The kind that simply… was.My heart skipped, then thudded hard against my ribs.For a split second, it felt like no time had passed at all. Like we were back in those early days—before everything got complicated, before pain and pride and fear built walls between us.Somewhere deep down, I felt it again.The love I had buried so carefully. The one I had convinced myself I had outgrown, outlived, moved on from.But it hadn’t disappeared. It had just… waited.I swallowed hard, my chest tightening. This was dangerous. Because feeling it meant everything could unravel again.Warren took a small step closer, his voice soft. "You okay?"I nodded quickly, even though I wasn’t. "Yeah. Just… tired."His eyes searched mine like he didn’t quite believe me—but he di

  • Regretful Heart: CEO's Tears Over Her Pregnancy   Chapter 394 - Dawning Realizations

    Vienna’s POVThe day Oliver was finally discharged from the hospital should have felt like pure relief.And in many ways, it did.But as I packed up his little bag—his stuffed dinosaur tucked under my arm, discharge papers clutched in my hand—I couldn’t ignore the quiet shift that had taken place over the past few days.Because when we stepped out of those hospital doors…It wasn’t Edward who stood beside me.It was Warren."Careful, champ," Warren said gently as he lifted Oliver into his arms. "No jumping around just yet, okay? Doctor’s orders."Oliver giggled, wrapping his arms around Warren’s neck."I’m not jumping," he said, immediately bouncing a little.Warren chuckled. "That looked like jumping.""It was tiny jumping," Oliver argued.I smiled faintly, watching them. "Let’s just get you home," I said."Already on it," Warren replied, shifting Oliver more securely against him.He didn’t even ask. He just… took charge. Naturally. Easily.Like it had always been that way.The drive

  • Regretful Heart: CEO's Tears Over Her Pregnancy   Chapter 393 - A Choice To Make

    Vienna’s POVWhen I stepped back into the room, the doctor’s warning was still ringing in my ears. It felt like each word had carved itself into my chest.The door clicked softly behind me. Warren and Edward looked up at the exact same moment."What did he say?" both of them asked in unison.I blinked, looking between the father of my child and the man I had just begun falling for. The dark-haired, handsome CEO. The honey-blonde secret agent.I let out a small, strained breath."Nothing… alarming," I said, trying to keep my tone light. "They’re running some tests. Just to be safe."Warren’s eyes narrowed slightly. "And?" he pressed.Edward watched me quietly.I hesitated. Then I forced a small shrug."He just… mentioned that Oliver needs stability. That kids pick up on tension."A heavy silence fell. Warren and Edward exchanged a glance.Not friendly. Not hostile either. Just… loaded."Fair enough," Warren said after a moment, his voice neutral.Edward nodded slowly. "He’s not wrong."
