Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 32
Macie quietly took a deep breath, forcing herself to suppress the urge to argue.After all, it was just a place to sleep. She didn't think that it made a difference where she slept. She could endure it… It was only for ten days anyway."Where are my things?" Macie asked.Edward, noticing that her anger had subsided as quickly as it flared, replied, "Sharon had someone pack them up and put them in the small guest room."Hearing that, Macie walked to the other small room and pushed open the door, only to find her belongings scattered messily all over the floor. Anyone who didn't know better would think that it was just a pile of trash.Behind her, Nathan inhaled sharply. The mistress had bullied the rightful wife terribly. First, she took over the latter's bedroom, and now she was forcing her to sleep in what was basically a storage room.Edward, who had followed, took in the scene and frowned slightly before turning to Sharon."Is this how your assistant handles things? By dumpin

"I'm not going anywhere. I just don't like these anymore," Macie replied impassively.Edward's tense posture relaxed at those words. He instructed Nathan, "Go to the supermarket downstairs and buy a quilt and a bedding set."Nathan obeyed and left, while Edward returned to the living room.Macie continued tidying up. Most of her belongings were there, but...She suddenly stood up and strode to her old room. Just as she was about to unlock a drawer with a key, someone appeared behind her and pulled open the bottommost layer.Macie froze for a moment upon seeing the empty space inside. When she turned around, she was greeted with the sight of Sharon's smugly curved lips."Where's my notebook?" Macie demanded."What notebook? I don't know what you're talking about." Sharon feigned ignorance."Didn't you open this drawer?" Macie gritted her teeth.Before Sharon could reply, Edward approached from the doorway, wearing a frown. "What are you two arguing about?"Just as Macie was ab

When Macie went to the bathroom to wash the cloth, she noticed that all her personal toiletries—her toothbrush, skincare products, and everything—were gone. Only Sharon's set remained, neatly placed beside Edward's.Macie let out a mocking laugh. She had lived there for two years, but Sharon had erased all traces of her existence within just two weeks. She had gone from being the rightful owner to an outsider, an intruder who no longer belonged.At the same time, a Rolls-Royce came to a stop outside the modeling office. The car door soon opened, and Sharon stepped out. She deliberately stood sideways to bid Edward goodbye so everyone in the lobby could see him.As the car drove away, she smiled brightly and waved before turning around, her expression filled with confidence, pride, and satisfaction."Wow, Sharon! Your boyfriend dropped you off again!""You two have such a good relationship. Mr. Fowler is rich and handsome. And since he's an only child, no one will fight you for t

At 10:00 am, Macie went downstairs to buy groceries and prepared exactly what a certain someone had requested—three dishes, not one less. She delivered them to the company on time.This was the first time in her two years of marriage that she had stepped into a "public setting". She had no idea what kind of whim had struck Edward, but she planned to simply leave the food at the front desk.After explaining her reason for being there, the receptionist gave her a scrutinizing and hostile look before saying, "Please leave before I call security. We don't allow unrelated personnel to visit our company."Macie pressed her lips together and briefly remained silent before taking out her phone to send Edward a message. However, when she opened the chat, she hesitated and called Nathan instead.After she stepped outside to call Nathan, she exchanged a few brief words and then waited for him to handle it.Inside the CEO's office, Edward's expression darkened as he watched Nathan hang up the

"Excuse me, may I ask how you and Mr. Fowler are related?" the receptionist asked in a hushed tone."I'm his housekeeper who cooks for him," Macie replied indifferently.The receptionist hesitated, wondering if there really was such a young housekeeper. And if that were the case, why had Nathan instructed her to be respectful toward this woman?She had no time to ask further questions as the elevator doors opened, and Macie stepped inside, heading straight to the top floor.Macie found Nathan already waiting upon her arrival. He immediately took the food container from her hands and softly said, "Mrs. Fowler, I was just about to go downstairs to meet you, but…" He hesitated before adding sincerely, "And please, you can always ask me for help, really."Macie understood that he was a kind person. She gave him a faint smile. "You can take it inside. I'm leaving.""Aren't you coming in?" Nathan asked."I don't want to see his stinking face," she replied coldly."That's… quite an

Edward convinced himself to let it go and focused on his meal. The moment he took the first bite, the deliciousness of the grilled honey balsamic ribs nearly overwhelmed him. The happiness and satisfaction he felt peaked instantly.Listening to the increasingly rapid sounds of eating beside her, Macie couldn't help but glance at him with an expression full of unconcealed disdain. She would have thought a pig was wolfing down its food if she didn't know better.The affection she once had for him was now replaced by repulsion. But for now, she had no choice but to stay in this temporarily disadvantageous situation.Three dishes, one bowl of macaroni, and a soup—Edward finished everything in just ten minutes. Fully satisfied, he wiped his mouth and hands with a wet tissue.Meanwhile, Macie had already stepped forward, swiftly collecting the empty containers before turning to leave without hesitation.Seeing her so eager to leave, Edward couldn't help but ask, "Have you eaten?" He s
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 38
Macie turned her head slightly to look at him, her expression devoid of emotion as she asked, "Have you ever cared about me before?"Edward was instantly at a loss for words, his expression frozen in place.Macie then returned to the small guest bedroom, leaving the man standing there, lost in thought, with a trace of guilt and self-reflection in his gaze.Since Edward had returned home early, Macie decided to head out to buy groceries."Where are you going?" Edward called out as he watched her prepare to leave right after he had just returned."The supermarket," Macie answered flatly.In the past, Edward never cared about such things. He barely even spoke to her. But that day, for some reason, he seemed unusually talkative.After getting her response and noticing the fabric tote bag in her hand, Edward obediently put his shoes back on and silently followed her out.Macie didn't turn around when she heard his footsteps behind her. When they reached the elevator, she assumed tha

When Edward brought Sharon home, Macie was already busy in the kitchen.Edward walked in, stood close to Macie, and watched her roast vegetables while sneakily stealing a piece of braised beef. Their bodies were almost touching.Sharon clenched her teeth as she watched from the doorway. She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she thought that Edward seemed to be getting closer to Macie ever since she returned."May, what are you making? It smells so good!" Sharon smiled as she walked in and squeezed between them. "Seriously, Ed. How could you make her cook right after she got back? You're treating her like a maid," she added, pretending to stand up for Macie.Macie remained indifferent. She picked up on Sharon's disguised mockery."It's her duty to cook," Edward replied matter-of-factly."I bet you don't like my cooking! Poor you. Having to eat what I made while May was in the hospital for two weeks," Sharon teased."Nonsense. Your cooking is fine. But now that Macie

Sean thought that Edward was truly scum. Alice had said that the one who stirred up trouble that day was Edward's ex-girlfriend—the same woman he had flaunted publicly as his mistress while still married.Now, Macie and Edward were divorced, yet the mistress still showed up in front of the ex-wife, while Edward just stood by and did nothing. Sean really thought that Edward was a piece of trash.Not long after, the officer from the interrogation room emerged again, this time with a few others."Mr. Hart, Ms. Hart, Ms. Smith," he addressed them. "Surveillance footage confirms that the suspect was the first to lay hands on Ms. Smith and made a deliberate attempt to drag her into a car by the roadside. This establishes criminal intent."Also, our investigation confirms that the three men were not the suspect's bodyguards, but were hired by her. They've admitted to receiving payment from the suspect to abduct Ms. Smith."Alice immediately said, "I knew it! Sharon was still making excus

Alice knew that her own injury wasn't even worth mentioning, so she walked over to Macie and tugged up the sleeve of her shirt. She stated, "Look at this. May's arm is going to be all bruised by tomorrow."Sean looked at the woman Alice had pulled over. Her fair, slender arm was covered in several glaring marks. It was evidently caused by someone grabbing her forcefully. His brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.Macie felt uneasy under his stare and quickly pulled her sleeve back down. But the moment she did, Alice yanked it up again and turned toward the officers."Look at this. Does that woman look like she came just to talk things out? If she only wanted to talk, why did she get physical?"The officers glanced at Macie's arm. Just then, Sean's voice cut in, cold and sharp. "My sister and her friend were attacked. I hope your station handles this seriously and doesn't let the perpetrators walk away unpunished."The officers turned to Sean. The man had an overwhelming presence. Eve

"Who could possibly beat you?" Sean asked.Alice snapped, "I'm not joking! Edward's ex-girlfriend ambushed me and May, and she brought three thugs with her! May and I both got hurt! And they ruined my favorite handbag!"Sean furrowed his brow when he heard this. Alice kept going on, full of grievance and rage, until he cut in, saying, "Send me the location of the police station."Alice hung up and saw that the police had already arrived. They had come just in time.Sharon and the three men were all caught. Not a single one got away.The three of them headed to the nearby police station. It was the same one as before. Macie and Julian were already familiar with the place.In the lobby, Alice sent Sean the location. The three gave their statements while Sharon and the men were taken into an interrogation room.When they finished, one of the officers came out to mediate. "Ms. Emerson said that those men are her bodyguards. She claims that she wasn't trying to abduct anyone. It seem

When Macie heard that Edward had driven Sharon away, she was a little surprised. Alice was even more shocked, but Macie quickly said coldly, "I really did get divorced. He's the one who keeps pestering me. We're going to court next week." She glanced at Sharon. "Once that's over, Edward and I will have nothing to do with each other. Don't believe me? Come to the court yourself."Sharon frowned when she heard that, clearly unconvinced.What if they went to court and the divorce didn't go through? Then she would just end up being played yet again."May's right. She and that scumbag Edward are definitely getting divorced," Alice said mockingly. "You're the only one who still treats him like he's some kind of prize. No one else gives a damn. "You two had better lock it down. When you get married, I'll show up with a gift and wish you all the happiness in the world."Sharon shot Alice a glare. Wasn't this the same woman who had bragged last time that Edward was about to marry her?

Sean couldn't help but think to himself that he'd really gone too far. He wondered how he was any different from the bullies who had tormented Macie.He remembered how Macie had looked that morning with her anger held back, forced to endure his teasing with a fake smile. Meanwhile, he found it amusing, as if it were some kind of game to him.He couldn't believe what a monster he had been.Macie's quiet demeanor was the result of years of enduring suffering, with her anger only surfacing when she was pushed too far.Macie was a young woman with a vintage landscape as her profile picture—someone who had already seen the world's harshness and matured well beyond her years. And all of this was the result of childhood trauma and constant bullying. At this moment, Sean could no longer dismiss what Alice had told him. He fully believed her now. …After returning to her private office downstairs, Alice didn't dare admit to Macie how spineless she had felt. All she could do was firmly

"Stop it right now. Don't bully my friend anymore, or I swear I won't let you off easy," Alice warned. However, Sean didn't even flinch, arrogantly ignoring her threat.Alice was furious, but there was nothing she could do. She wouldn't win if she argued or fought with Sean. He could easily slap her down to the ground, and she wouldn't even be able to get back up. If anyone else had bullied Macie, she would have gone all in, but this person was Sean—her brother, the one who had always pushed her around since they were kids.Alice sighed, moving from anger to helplessness, feeling stuck and useless. She couldn't protect Macie and felt she wasn't a good friend. "Macie has already been through enough. Can't you show a little compassion? Stop bullying an innocent, vulnerable lady!" Alice tried softening her tone. "You don't know how much Macie has suffered. Do you even have an ounce of human decency?" She switched tactics, telling him everything she knew about Macie's past and th

It looked like Macie hadn't just been flustered—she'd fully entered rage monster mode. Sean could imagine her fists flew, as if they could actually do damage, even though they barely stung. He genuinely found it endearing.When Sean finished reading the last screenshot, he closed the chat and saw a new message from Alice. Her text read, "So, are you going to explain why you were flirting with my friend? "And what about the things you said to Edward last night? It sounds like you meant what you said. You weren't just playing along with me."Did you put your arm around Macie's waist? Hold her hand? You had better come clean!" Sean just typed a simple response. He typed, "Go ask her if I did that." Alice, on the other end, was speechless.Sometimes, Alice really wondered if Sean was just a brooding, black-bellied guy with an obsession with keeping things mysterious. She didn't respond right away. Instead, she stormed over to his office, yanked a chair out, and took a seat rig

Alice immediately called Macie, venting all her frustration about Sean. She cursed him as much as she could, even bringing up stories from their childhood to illustrate just how terrible he had been.Macie listened to how Alice described her miserable childhood, living under the shadow of Sean, enduring various "torments".As Alice spoke, Macie couldn't help but picture that insufferable face, and she felt that it wasn't surprising he could do such things. If he treated his own sister that way, what would he do to her? Indeed, some people's bad habits formed when they were young. Macie felt sympathy for Alice, and what started as one person venting turned into a united front, two people joining in on the complaints."Ugh, my brother's the worst. When we were kids, he ripped the ears off my plush bunny, and then claimed it was the turtle pillow that did it." Alice continued, venting, "I love cake, but I got cavities. He'd eat it right in front of me and mock me for not being able
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 221
Not far from Macie's workstation, Lily had been listening to their conversation, especially when Macie, with a hint of pride, casually mentioned her good relationship with Sean. Lily's fists tightened, and a flash of hatred and jealousy crossed her eyes. There was also a sense of helplessness and resentment. Julian hadn't fired her, but had only made her apologize publicly in the company's group chat, and now this happened.Macie was not only Alice's friend, but she also had a close relationship with Sean. Moreover, Julian clearly favored Macie, openly confessing his admiration for her.Macie's relationships within the department would only be stronger. Her promotion to team leader would only be a matter of time. Lily had crossed her, and sooner or later, she'd be the one getting sidelined. Lily was already worried about her future and deeply regretted causing trouble for Macie on her first day. She shouldn't have tried to embarrass her last night either. At her desk, with ju
