Too Late for Regrets: The Betrayer Wants Me Back Chapter 29
Ravelle suddenly pulled herself back. Her breathing became ragged, her chest rising and falling unevenly as she abruptly broke their kiss. She stared at Erlan with eyes suddenly filled with a mixture of shock and deep regret.The hands that had been tightly wrapped around Erlan's neck slowly lowered, clutching the bedsheet nervously."I'm sorry, El... forgive me," Ravelle whispered, her voice trembling violently as she turned her face away, unable to look directly into the pair of eagle-like eyes before her.Erlan remained motionless where he was, his dark eyes fixed on every change in the woman's expression."Why are you apologizing, Vel?""I shouldn't be like this," Ravelle replied, her tone bitter and laden with harsh judgment toward herself. She clenched her fists tightly on the mattress. "If I let my emotions and this situation carry me too far... if I do it now, then I'm no better than that bastard Kyle. I don't want to become a hypocrite who betrays my own values."Upon hearing

The late afternoon sunlight streamed through the gaps in the massive curtains of Erlan's private office, casting long silhouettes across the velvet carpet. The tension lingering after reviewing the stack of Branson Group investment documents still left a heavy atmosphere between them.Bzzzt.Ravelle's phone, lying on the glass table, vibrated softly. A message notification from an unknown number appeared. She picked it up and tapped the screen, and instantly, her fingers froze. It was a photo sent by one of the senior servants at the mansion who was secretly on her side. In the picture, Kyle was sitting on the living room sofa, holding Calysta on his lap while Jessica leaned affectionately against his shoulder. The three of them were smiling so warmly, like the portrait of a perfect and happy family without a single flaw.Right beneath the photo, a text message from Kyle came in.[ Your dirty dress can be replaced with a new one, Ravelle. Don't be childish and leave the house just bec

Ravelle’s steps felt slightly lighter as she entered Erlan’s private office located on the top floor of a skyscraper in the central business district. The room was very spacious, dominated by obsidian tones and dark wood, with dim lighting that created an atmosphere both intimidating and extremely secure.“Sit down, Vel,” Erlan said as he closed the thick teak door, ensuring the automatic locking system was activated. He removed his flannel shirt, leaving only a tight black T-shirt that clearly outlined his firm physique.Ravelle did not sit immediately. She walked toward the large work desk in the center of the room, where several physical document folders and a laptop with a lit screen had already been prepared by Erlan. “We don’t have much time, El. I need to make sure what legal loopholes we can use to lock down Kyle’s movements tomorrow morning.”“Don’t rush,” Erlan cut in, his footsteps silent on the thick carpet. He stood right beside Ravelle, leaning down to look at the sheets

The elevator doors on the ground floor chimed softly. Ravelle stepped out wearing a casual yet elegant outfit, a black handbag hanging from her arm. Her eyes swept across the quiet main hall before settling on Soraya, who was wiping a flower vase near the living room."Soraya," Ravelle called, her voice flat and cold, devoid of any emotion.Soraya flinched slightly and quickly put down her cleaning cloth before bowing respectfully. "Yes, Madam? Is there anything I can help you with? Would you like something for lunch?""Where are Sir and Jessica?" Ravelle asked, her eyes narrowing slightly as she observed the housekeeper's every movement."Mr. Kyle and Miss Jessica left for the office again about thirty minutes ago, Madam," Soraya replied in a voice deliberately softened with false obedience. "Sir said there was an urgent matter that needed to be handled after being delayed this morning."Ravelle merely nodded once. "All right."Without wasting any time or saying another word, Ravelle

Kyle slammed the master bedroom door shut a little too harshly. His footsteps echoed through the corridor as he made his way toward the private study on the ground floor. His mind was still occupied by Ravelle's cold rejection, which felt like a slap to his ego.Inside the study, Jessica was still waiting. She was sitting on the sofa while reviewing several documents on her tablet. The moment she saw Kyle walk in with a gloomy expression and a clenched jaw, Jessica immediately set her device aside."What's wrong with you now?" Jessica asked, her voice softening as she stood and walked toward Kyle. "Why do you look so upset, Darling?"Kyle did not answer right away. He let out a long, frustrated sigh before dropping heavily into the executive chair behind his desk."Ravelle," he replied shortly, his voice filled with restrained irritation."What happened with the Madam?" Jessica asked again, the corner of her lips lifting slightly as if provoking a reaction from Kyle."She rejected me

Kyle’s footsteps sounded uneven as he entered the master bedroom, the faint scent of another woman’s perfume still lingering on the collar of his shirt. Ravelle was lying on the bed, her back facing the door. Her fingers were busy massaging her temples in a slow rhythm, a sign that a severe migraine was attacking her.Kyle approached, sitting on the edge of the bed, then stared at his wife’s back with a furrowed brow. “Honey,” Kyle called in a tone he tried to make gentle, though it sounded slightly awkward. “Why have you been so harsh to Calysta?”Ravelle did not move, her breathing remained steady even though her eyes were wide open, staring at the wall in front of her.“Weren’t we agreed from the start that we would treat Calysta as our child?” Kyle asked again, his tone starting to rise with a lecturing edge. “Our own biological child. And back then, you loved her so much, Vel. Why just because of a trivial matter like ice cream, did you punish her like that? That’s excessive.”Ra

Calysta, who also fell to the floor, immediately stood up, sitting on her knees while putting on a fake, frightened face. "I'm sorry, Mommy... Calysta didn't mean to. Calysta just wanted to play with Aunt Soraya."From her position, still sitting on the floor, Ravelle held her throbbing hip in pain

The heavy, panting breaths gradually subsided, leaving the silence of the night to creep back into the master bedroom. On the bed, Kyle and Jessica's bodies were still tangled together, wet with sweat that glistened under the dim light of the night lamp. They had just experienced a perfect release,

Two hours had passed since the knock on the door from Soraya was heard. The atmosphere inside the master bedroom of the Stevens family had sunk into a heavy silence, leaving only the soft hum of the air conditioner and the rhythmic ticking of the wall clock.On the spacious king-size bed, Ravelle l

The crunch of a luxury sedan's wheels over the gravel driveway marked the end of that tense and silent journey. As soon as the car came to a complete stop in front of the Stevens family's main residence, the maid, Soraya, hurried out from the front seat to open the door. Kyle stepped out first, car
