“Sorry, I already have plans on Saturday.”

Charlie declined politely.

Erica felt a wave of disappointment.

In truth, his words were already a gentle rejection. She should’ve known that their pleasant conversation just now was merely a result of his good manners.

But the clearer this truth became, the more reluctant she was to let go of such an exceptional man.

Brushing aside her pride, she forced a smile and said, “That’s okay. Clemens, whenever you’re free, I can work around your schedule. Let’s give each other another chance, shall we?”

Charlie’s smile faded slightly.

He got straight to the point. “Miss Dawson, you’re an excellent person, but we’re not suitable for each other. I hope this dinner was at least enjoyable for you.”

“It was. I thought we might go further. I do like you.”

Erica was no longer hiding her feelings.

Charlie: “I’m very sorry.”

Erica: “Can you tell me what it is you’re not satisfied with? I think I’m quite a decent person.”

Charlie: “It’s nothing to do with you

  • Too Late to Regret   Chapter 322 A Hidden Beauty in a Gilded Cage?

    Sophia froze.That sudden eye contact knocked her brain offline.A fake veteran was still just a fake—no matter how she pretended to be worldly and experienced, inside she was nothing but a nervous rookie.And right now, being stared at up close by a man like Edward—his face, his body, his every pore radiating mature, dangerous masculinity—she felt her heart skip a beat and her confidence crumble.“...Can’t I?”She squeezed out the words, not even sure what she was saying.Edward blinked at her boldness, slightly taken aback.Then, realization hit her, and Sophia’s eyes widened in horror. “…!”The room fell into silence. Their eyes locked. Seconds ticked by.Sweat began to gather on her back. Her mind raced—how was she supposed to retreat gracefully? Pretend she was just delivering breakfast to Bun bun the cat? Say “next time”? Wouldn’t that make her look insincere, disrespectful even?She was panicking when Edward suddenly released her wrist and gave her a look that said fine, I’ll i

  • Too Late to Regret   Chapter 321 More Tempting Than a Steaming Bun

    “Yes. That’s why I told you to leave your bag in the car. If I’ve been bugged, you might have been too.”“...!!”Sophia’s gaze darted toward her phone lying on the side.Bianca waved dismissively. “Don’t worry, I already switched mine out.”Relieved, Sophia exhaled. “So that’s why you typed on your phone earlier—telling me to drop my bag and jewelry—because you were worried I was also being monitored?”She had thought Bianca’s precautions were almost like handling classified files—removing every possible recording device before sharing a secret.“Exactly,” Bianca said. “If even I’ve been watched, then you, being Candice’s childhood friend, are at even greater risk. You were with her through the divorce, through her fight with that little vixen from the Jones family... You two are too close. Go home and check carefully. Every corner of your place and your office.”Sophia’s face hardened. She nodded firmly. “I’ll check immediately.”Bianca leaned back, her tone thoughtful. “Now, Mr. Mak

  • Too Late to Regret   Chapter 320 Why Do You Dislike Shandor So Much?

    Go back with him to Shandor?But he was from the Lawrence family!Candice’s nerves tightened instinctively. Her whole being resisted anything related to the Lawrence family. Before Charlie could speak, she hurriedly replied,“Thank you for your concern, Mr. Lawrence, but I don’t want to leave Vanclyn. I don’t want to disrupt my current life.”Her tone was firm, though it carried a trace of unease she tried hard to cover.She was afraid that if she left… her world would be turned upside down, pulling her deeper into the vortex.Charlie noticed the way her calm surface hid the kind of tension one feels before battle. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders.“It’s just a suggestion. No one’s forcing you to go with him.”“Besides, he’s a living target himself. If you went with him, I’d worry even more.”The “living target” Edward:

  • Too Late to Regret   Chapter 319 He’s Here

    “Of course,” Mr. Makenzie replied smoothly.He glanced at the salesgirl. “Well? Hurry up and try it on.”The salesgirl’s face went pale. “...Yes.”She returned to the rack, hung the green dress back up, and instead chose a white one.From behind her, Candice’s voice drifted lazily, “Didn’t you just insist I try that one? Why put it back? Try that first. I’d really like to see how it looks on you.”The salesgirl forced a stiff smile and switched back to the green dress.Clutching it tightly, she walked into the fitting room.Candice and Bianca sat down again.Mr. Makenzie stepped forward with a nervous laugh. “I’m so sorry, she’s new… doesn’t quite understand the rules yet—”Bianca’s lips curved with amusement. “And you bring someone who doesn’t understand the rules out to meet clients? Mr.

  • Too Late to Regret   Chapter 318 The Guest Who Came a Day Early

    Candice shot a look at Rex. You tipped him off again, didn’t you?The moment she heard “a visitor,” the first name that flashed across her mind was Charlie.Rex instantly caught the meaning in her gaze.“…Is it the young master? The moment you sent a message, he showed up? That fast?”“Who is it?” Bianca asked lazily.The butler replied, “It’s Mr. Makenzie. He said you scheduled a fitting with him today for the new ready-to-wear collection.”“Oh, Mr. Makenzie,” Bianca nodded, then frowned as she quickly pulled out her phone. “Wait—no, I wrote the 29th. Today’s only the 28th.”“Should I send him away then?”Bianca hesitated, pouting a little. Honestly, she was curious about the new pieces. “Forget it. Since he’s already here, let his car in. Bring him to the side hall on the first floor.”&l

  • Too Late to Regret   Chapter 317 A Conversation That Made Sense… Yet Didn’t

    My breath hitched.My fists curled tight, though I forced my face to stay calm.Jim was watching me closely. I couldn’t let even a flicker of disgust or panic slip through, so instead I gave him the most natural expression of confusion I could manage.“Huh? Mr. Lawrence went into my room? That can’t be right. Did he maybe walk into the wrong one?”Jim frowned, thinking it over. “Walked into the wrong room? A man like him—a chairman of a whole group—how could he be that careless? Doesn’t sound likely.”I gave a soft laugh, as if brushing it off. “Maybe he was distracted. My room’s not far from his. If he was lost in thought, it’s possible he just… took a wrong turn. Don’t overthink it, Jim.”“Candice, I didn’t tell Mr. Clemens about this. I only told you so you’d stay alert. It never hurts to be cautious.”He wasn’t
