Kane stretched out his legs, which had gone numb, and let out a dismissive hum.

Harold wanted to cozy up to him? Not a chance.

"Don't look so smug. Acting all innocent when you know exactly what you're thinking," Aria teased, pinching his nose.

"Ow, that hurts," Kane muttered, rubbing the red mark she'd left.

"Quit lying," Aria shot back with a skeptical huff. "Even Cedric and Winni say Harold clings to you the most."

Kane stayed quiet, though his thoughts tangled.

Ever since they'd all been living together, he couldn't bring himself to actually dislike Harold. Sure, he hated seeing Harold get close to Basia, but things weren't like they used to be.

Harold was calm and thoughtful, while Basia was lively and restless. Everyone knew Harold always looked after Basia with care. Kane didn't need to see it—just hearing others talk about it, he could already imagine how attentive Harold was.

Once the pins and needles faded from his legs, Kane shifted aside and deliberately changed the subjec

  • The Billionaire Regret After My Goodbye   Will He Agree to Let You Leave?

    Arthur froze for a second at Kane's question, then thought hard."Yes. When I escorted her to the elevator, she whispered something to me." Arthur frowned as he recalled, realizing now how strange Vivien had seemed.Kane narrowed his eyes, waiting."She said… she knows ATTA has powerful backing. And she knows about your father." Arthur repeated her exact words.Kane stiffened, then his gaze grew complicated.Vivien had brought up his father right after mentioning ATTA's backing. That could only mean one person—Everley.But Kane had only recently confided in Cedric and the others about his connection to Everley. Even Arthur didn't know yet. So how did Vivien?Kane was certain Eden, Frank, Alger, and Cedric weren't the type to gossip. Natalie and Aria would never say a word either.And Ivan? Even if he knew about Everley, he was too busy trying to survive under watch. He wasn't the leak.That left only Everley's own children.If they were the ones spreading this… what was their angle?"

  • The Billionaire Regret After My Goodbye   Loyalty Is Unchanging

    Aria looked at Kane with a half-smile, making Kane feel uneasy."Aria, don't look at me like that! I really didn't do anything." Kane raised his hands in surrender, trying to appease her. "You have to believe me! My loyalty to you will never change."With narrowed eyes, Aria's gaze dropped to his wrinkled shirt. Before Kane could react, she quickly yanked the hem of his shirt out of his pants and tugged at it."Your shirt's wrinkled enough." She chuckled sarcastically, then casually grabbed his tie, pulling him toward the bedroom.Kane felt speechless. He knew this tactic wouldn't work. The office didn't have an ironing machine, or he wouldn't have come back wearing a wrinkled shirt.He could sense bad luck coming, and he figured he was about to pay for it, so he silently followed Aria, keeping his mouth shut.Once inside the room, Aria turned and closed the door behind her, then pushed him toward the bed.Kane stumbled a couple of steps but managed to steady himself. Just as he did,

  • The Billionaire Regret After My Goodbye   A Man and a Woman Alone

    What Kane didn't know was that the more he rejected and acted coldly, the more Vivien wanted to conquer him."You are really a family man, I envy your family so much!" Vivien giggled, leaning closer to the desk and subtly pushing out her chest.Vivien had a great figure. Today, she wore a low-cut dress, and with the movement, her chest nearly popped out of her tight fit.Kane only saw flashes of white and felt uncomfortable, instinctively turning his eyes away and furrowing his brows."If you are truly here to discuss cooperation, then let's talk about it now. Otherwise, please leave, I have plenty of work to do." Kane barely maintained his politeness, his face icy as he reminded Vivien.Vivien pouted, her expression sulking, "Fine, fine! If you don't want to have dinner, then I won't force you. I just wanted to get closer to you, Kane!"Her whiny voice made Kane feel as though he had just taken a bite of greasy, overly sweet pork belly—so sickening that it made him want to gag.Seein

  • The Billionaire Regret After My Goodbye   He Wants to Modify the Will

    "What?!"Upon hearing Sharine say she was coming to pick him up, Everley immediately stood up, pacing the room restlessly."No way! Sharine, you can't come pick me up! I'm on vacation right now!"Everley began to make excuses. "Alright, Sharine, let me rest for another two months. I'll definitely return after that."Aria still had less than a month before her baby was due. The thought of the newborn and little Basia made Everley feel that two months would pass far too quickly."No, three months! I'll return after three months!" Everley changed his mind, thinking to himself that for the next three months, he'd play with Basia and the baby every day."Dad!" Sharine's annoyed voice came through the phone. "Don't say two months, not even two weeks will do!""Oh no, Sharine, you can't be so strict!" Everley tried every trick in the book to stay longer. "My dear Sharine, my beautiful and lovely daughter, I've been working so hard for so long! Let me rest a little longer!"Before Sharine cou

  • The Billionaire Regret After My Goodbye   The Cornea Came from Him

    When Aria returned to the hospital room, she saw Kane sitting on the bed, talking to Tony."Kane, you're awake!" She rushed over and eagerly grabbed his hand. "If I had known, I would've waited for you to wake up before going out.""Does your stomach still hurt? Are you feeling okay?" Kane squeezed her hand tightly, looking at her with concern."No, I'm fine! Amos said that both me and the baby are okay." Aria glanced at Tony, already knowing that he had probably told Kane everything."Really? Don't lie to me." Kane still wasn't completely reassured."Mom, tell him. He doesn't believe me," Aria turned to Natalie, helplessly seeking her support.Natalie smiled and walked over. "Kane, it's true. Aria and the baby are both fine."With Natalie's confirmation, Kane nodded and visibly relaxed.Seeing them reunited, Frank figured they should have something to discuss about Everley, so he made an excuse and left the room.As soon as Frank left, Kane brought up Everley."Mom, Aria, you both mu

  • The Billionaire Regret After My Goodbye   Don't Let Him Die

    "Pfft! Serves him right!" Natalie spat out bitterly.Everley glanced at her, a slight smirk forming on his lips.As soon as Ivan heard Natalie's words, he was about to curse her out, but before he could utter a single word, Tony slammed his head onto the ground."Ugh… What are you going to do?!" Ivan managed to gasp, struggling in vain.Without saying a word, Tony pressed Ivan's head further into the ground, slamming it down again and again.Thud. Thud. The dull thuds echoed in the air. Ivan was already dizzy, his struggles and curses fading as his strength left him.Natalie, watching from the side, was both shocked and horrified. But after thinking it over, she found it strangely satisfying. She said nothing, instead observing coldly as Tony continued.Seeing that Ivan was near the point of collapse, Everley casually waved his hand, signaling Tony to stop."Take care of him. He's a nuisance." Everley spoke coldly, furrowing his brow slightly.Tony nodded, "Yes."Moments later, Natali
