last update Veröffentlichungsdatum: 22.07.2026 23:34:18

Grocery shopping turned out to be far easier than either of them had expected.

Between Daniel’s organized shopping list and Amelia’s determination to throw anything that looked appetizing into the cart, they were back at the checkout in no time.

“Do we really need all of this?” Daniel asked, raising an eyebrow as he looked at the overflowing basket.

“We absolutely do.”

“We’re only making lasagna.”

“And?”

“And lasagna deserves dessert.”

Daniel narrowed his eyes playfully.

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 150- Safe

    Daniel couldn’t stop smiling as he watched Amelia take another spoonful of lasagna.The moment it touched her tongue, she closed her eyes in pure delight.“That good?” he asked, thoroughly enjoying every one of her reactions.She answered with nothing more than a series of enthusiastic nods before taking another bite.Daniel chuckled.“Then eat some more. I made it for you.”Amelia swallowed before pointing her fork at him.“You know you’re going to spoil me if you keep this up.”“That’s exactly what I intend to do.”There wasn’t the slightest hint of teasing in his voice.He meant every word.Judging by the way Amelia suddenly became interested in her plate, she knew it too.A soft blush slowly crept across her cheeks.Daniel smiled to himself.There was a brief, comfortable silence before he spoke again.“Would you like to stay the night?”Silence.He immediately realized how that might have sounded.“I mean…”He rubbed the back of his neck.“It’s completely alright if you’d rather—

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 148- Grocery Shopping for Two

    Daniel had noticed Amelia’s unusual behavior almost the moment she stepped into his car.He had picked her up from Hart Corporation looking forward to nothing more than spending a quiet evening with his girlfriend. They had both been buried in work over the past two days, and although it hadn’t been long since they made their relationship official, he had missed her more than he cared to admit.He had counted down the hours until he could see her.Yet from the moment she settled into the passenger seat, she seemed… distracted.She smiled whenever he looked at her.She answered his questions.But every few minutes, she let out another thoughtful sigh.By the fifth one, Daniel couldn’t ignore it anymore.He glanced at her briefly before returning his eyes to the road.“Your sighs are getting louder, babe.”He smiled to himself.“Want to tell me what’s wrong?”Amelia’s head snapped toward him so quickly that he almost laughed.“…What did you just call me?”Daniel tried his best to look i

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 147- An Unexpected Call

    Amelia walked straight back to her office after leaving the café.The moment she sat down in her chair, her conversation with Roy Laurent replayed itself in her mind.She couldn’t quite explain it, but the man unsettled her.There had been something about him…Something calculating.Something dangerous.He struck her as the kind of man who never accepted defeat, the type who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted.And people like that rarely gave up quietly.A shiver ran down her spine.She had dealt with all kinds of businessmen over the years, but Roy Laurent was different.There was a darkness behind his polite smile that made her instincts tell her to stay as far away from him as possible.“The last thing I need is more trouble,” she murmured to herself.With a quiet sigh, she pushed the thought aside.That was a problem for another day.Her eyes drifted toward the clock on the wall.Less than three hours remained before Daniel would come to pick her up for dinner.Her lips c

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 146- An Offer with Strings Attached

    “From Laurent Financials.”Amelia sat a little straighter in her chair.“What can I do for you, Mr. Laurent?”“A lot, Miss Hart.”The words slipped out so naturally that Amelia immediately felt a flicker of irritation, though she couldn’t quite explain why.There was a brief pause before Roy cleared his throat.“My apologies, Miss Hart. That… came out rather poorly.”His voice softened into one of practiced politeness.“I was wondering if you could spare me a little of your time. I’d like to discuss a business opportunity with you.”Amelia glanced at the clock on her office wall.She had a lunch break in forty minutes.“I have lunch in forty minutes,” she replied evenly. “There’s a café just across from Hart Corporation. If that works for you, we can meet there.”“That would be perfect,” Roy answered quickly. “I’ll be there.”Without another word, Amelia ended the call and returned to the files on her desk.Yet somehow…The conversation lingered in her mind.⸻Forty minutes later, Ame

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 145- A Call from the Enemy

    Amelia sat behind her desk, a stack of files spread neatly before her.One after another, she reviewed documents, signed reports, and responded to emails, yet not a single word seemed to register.For the life of her, she couldn’t concentrate.It had been two days.Two days since that unforgettable evening at Daniel’s house.In the span of a single night…She had gained a boyfriend.And shared her first kiss with him.A smile tugged at her lips before she could stop it.Not only had Daniel kissed her…She had kissed him back.Just as eagerly.Just as desperately.The memory alone was enough to make her cheeks burn.She could still remember how weak her knees had become in his arms, how her heart had pounded wildly against her chest, and how every sensible thought had completely abandoned her.“Oh goodness…”She buried her face in her hands.“I almost embarrassed myself.”What made it even worse was remembering how Daniel had been the one to stop.Not her.Him.She could still hear his

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 52- The Ease She Didn’t Expect

    Amelia had barely finished adjusting the strap of her dress when her phone buzzed.The sound cut through the quiet of her apartment, sharp enough to make her pause, but not unexpected.She already knew.A small smile tugged at her lips as she reached for her phone, her heart picking up just slightl

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 51- The Uncertainty He Can’t Control

    A person’s mind was a fragile thing.Daniel had learned that long ago.It shifted. Bent. Changed direction without warning, like wind slipping through fingers no matter how tightly you tried to hold onto it.And this morning.That was all he could think about.He stared up at the ceiling, eyes open

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 44- The Quiet Isn’t Peace

    The door clicked shut behind her.For a moment, Amelia just stood there, back pressed against it, fingers still wrapped around the handle like she needed something solid to hold onto.The silence inside her apartment felt… different tonight.Too still.Too aware.She exhaled slowly, closing her eye

  • The Billionaire’s Regret   Chapter 43- She Chose Him

    The line went dead.Alexander stared at his phone for a second longer than necessary, Victoria’s last words still echoing in his head, not because they mattered, but because they lingered.That alone irritated him.With a sharp exhale, he shoved the phone into his pocket and stepped out into the ni
