Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 74
Nathan observed Edward closely. He said, "You don't seem drunk at all. You still recognized me."Edward had clearly meant to call Macie but had dialed Nathan instead."He's definitely drunk," Sharon insisted. "Otherwise, would he sit on the roadside with no regard for his image?"Nathan glanced at her and immediately saw through her intentions. If she took Edward home, he would be done for.Stepping in firmly, Nathan stated, "Mr. Fowler is perfectly sober. He has two international meetings this afternoon. He can't afford to take the day off."Sharon opened her mouth and was about to suggest postponing the meetings, but Nathan cut her off."These are multi-billion-dollar deals. Are you willing to take responsibility for any delays? Can you handle that?"Sharon fell silent.Multi-billion-dollar deals? If Edward sobered up later and realized she had dragged him home instead, she would be finished.Left with no choice, she watched in frustration as Nathan took Edward away. She sto
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 75
Caught in his own contradictions, Edward wrestled internally, torn between frustration and self-inflicted torment.In the end, anger won out. His face darkened as he wiped the coffee spill from his lips."Macie sure has grown some nerve. Four days in a row with this attitude. Has she forgotten who she is?" Edward scoffed under his breath. "With that temper, any other family would've kicked her out long ago. She has no family background and still doesn't know how to hold on to her place as Mrs. Fowler."If she won't even open her mouth to talk properly, what's the point of having one? This was all her fault, yet she acts like the whole world owes her something."Nathan, standing nearby, silently observed Edward, who had now fully transformed into a bitter, complaining husband. His lips twitched as he stared at the ceiling, barely restraining his disbelief.Every word Edward spoke was full of resentment and disdain. Yet, this was the same man who had spent his entire drunken afterno
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 76
Edward stared blankly at the door, his mind racing. He couldn't understand the meaning behind Nathan's advice to stop lying to himself. He wondered when he had ever not been truthful.And regret? What was there to regret? He made decisions, and he stuck to them.Edward grabbed the file on his desk, trying to force his focus onto the words in front of him. Unfortunately, he couldn't concentrate. So, he tossed it aside and placed his phone directly in the center of the table to avoid missing any calls.But the next few hours only brought calls from his team, not from the one he had hoped for.…Meanwhile, Macie was hanging out with Alice that afternoon. They swatched lipsticks and spritzed perfumes on their wrists. They'd already picked out a new handbag and some jewelry and were now sitting in their favorite restaurant.When her phone buzzed on the table, Macie glanced at it, then flipped it over."Who is it? Why aren't you picking up?" Alice asked."Just a telemarketer," Macie
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 77
Edward pursed his lips, debating with himself for several minutes. Finally, he decided to head home. He didn't know why Macie wasn't answering his calls. He wondered if it was because she didn't have her phone or if she had blocked his number. Edward had bought her a new phone. If it wasn't at home, it meant that she was using it. If she were using it, then it seemed that she had indeed deliberately blocked him. That would give him something to confront her about, at least.But if she wasn't using her new phone, how had she been managing at the hospital all these days? Edward pondered if Macie had been using her computer instead.He returned to their apartment feeling slightly hopeful. He took the elevator up, stepped inside, and headed straight for the guest bedroom. The door wasn't locked. He pushed it open and froze. The bed was stripped bare. There were no sheets or pillows, just a bare mattress staring back at him. Edward's heart skipped a beat and then began to race.
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 78
Edward wondered why he wasn't aware that Macie had left the hospital.Upon seeing Edward's shocked reaction, the nurse eyed him suspiciously and asked, "How are you related to Macie?" "I… I'm her husband," Edward muttered.The nurse frowned, studying him with apparent skepticism. "If you're her husband, why didn't you know that she was discharged?"Edward didn't answer. His mind was blank, his thoughts scattered. After a few seconds of stunned silence, he snapped to reality and bolted down the stairs.If Macie had been discharged yesterday morning, why hadn't she come home? Where had she taken her bedding and pillows? Did she know someone else in this city? Had she gone to rent a place? But she hadn't worked in two years. Where would she get the money? Was it from Yosef?Edward thought that none of it made any sense unless Macie moved in with that so-called "senior" of hers!The thought sent a jolt of panic through Edward, quickly morphing into jealousy and rage. His foot slamm
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 79
Edward wondered when he had signed the divorce agreement. Macie never gave him any documents! If he had seen it, there was no way he would have signed it. His mind raced, trying to figure out where things had gone wrong. He sensed something amiss as he rubbed the piece of paper between his fingers. The signature didn't have the texture of ink. It was… Edward held it up to the light, squinting. A photocopy?He rubbed it again, confirming that it was indeed a copy. His initial panic subsided, quickly replaced by a fresh wave of anger. "Macie! You lunatic! You faked a photocopy to mess with me!" Edward snarled through gritted teeth. He had thought that it was a real divorce agreement with his actual signature. It turned out to be just a prank! All that panic and confusion for nothing. Wait, no. Edward wasn't panicking. He was just angry and confused about when he supposedly signed it! Edward stood up and glared at the shredded pieces on the floor. In a fit of rage, he stomp
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 80
Macie couldn't help but feel a wave of exhaustion wash over her. The fact that she had been married to someone like Edward for two years was almost laughable. If people knew, they'd probably mock her for it.Alice returned with the beers. Upon noticing the look on her friend's face, she asked, "May, what's wrong?" "Nothing. I'm just annoyed by some idiot telemarketer," Macie replied with a forced smile.She couldn't believe that she'd even bothered to read through Edward's messages. It was like poking a wound just to see if it still hurt."I told you to let me yell at him. You're too nice just to block him outright," Alice said as she sat down."I did block him, and I deleted him too. But reading those messages still pissed me off," Macie admitted.They clinked their beer bottles, and Macie tossed her phone aside, determined not to pick it up again.While Macie calmly ignored the chaos, Edward was on the verge of losing his mind. He was infuriated by Macie's lack of response."

"I'm sorry, Sharon. I got a little carried away just now," Edward muttered.Sharon glanced at the red marks on her arm and pretended not to know what had happened. "What's going on?"Edward slumped back onto the couch, his head hanging low in defeat. "Macie. She's gone.""Macie's at the hospital, isn't she? Are you still drunk from lunch?" Sharon asked, feigning confusion."She's not at the hospital. The nurse said she checked out yesterday morning," Edward replied."What? Really? Neither of us knew about that," Sharon replied in surprise."Her room is empty. All she left was the phone I bought her and…" Edward's voice trailed off."And what?" Sharon pressed.Edward clenched his fists, his jaw tightening. "A pile of useless paper. A photocopy. Did she really think that would scare me? She's such an idiot!"Sharon frowned. A photocopy? What was that supposed to be? Shouldn't it have been the divorce papers?She stood up and walked into Macie's room, her heart racing when she s

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?
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 225
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
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 224
"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
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 223
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
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 222
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
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 220
Now that Macie knew who Sean was, she was sure she wouldn't just sit there and take it like she did that day if he ever visited again."It's my fault. I didn't know that Mr. Hart and Macie had a history," Palmer said, breaking the silence."I didn't know either," Macie replied, her voice tight. "And even if I had known, I still wouldn't have recognized Sean. I would've gone to the meeting, and I'd have still been bullied."She clenched her fists, anger rising inside her. She didn't owe Sean anything. Indeed, the two companies were collaborating, but she couldn't understand why he should make her his personal target.Still, she couldn't care less now. She would let him think whatever he wanted. He was the one who crossed the line first. Back in the design department, only Macie and Palmer remained. Palmer, still curious, asked, "Macie, did you offend Mr. Hart?" That seemed to be the only explanation for Sean's strange behavior that day. Although there had been some "tension" bet
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 219
Macie managed to hold back her anger, reminding herself that Sean was a client and that her supervisor had emphasized how important this collaboration was.Sean smiled at her. He was still watching Macie, who was silently glaring at him. He then casually pulled a business card from his pocket and handed it to her.Macie glanced down at the card. Despite not wanting to take it, she accepted it out of politeness and flipped it over to read it.In bold, gold letters, it read, "Chief Executive Officer, Hart Group."Macie froze for a moment when she read "Hart Group". She was familiar with the name because it was Alice's family's company. And then, her eyes landed on Sean's printed name. She began to wonder if he was related to Alice.Suddenly, she looked up, her gaze shifting toward the elevator. No wonder he had seemed familiar—she now realized his features resembled Alice's.The answer was almost painfully obvious.Inside the elevator, Sean stood in front of his employees, smili
Who's the One Regretting Now? Chapter 218
Macie clenched her fists, gritting her teeth as she took two steps forward and said, "You say five minutes, then five minutes it is. There's no need to bother the technician." She tried to remain calm, though inside she felt a little flustered. The idea that Sean would actually want to check the security footage over something so trivial seemed ridiculous. However, the fact that Sean was so insistent, almost as if he were out to get her, left her feeling uneasy. Sean, sensing her discomfort, stepped to the side and casually said, "Ms. Smith, you were so adamant in denying it earlier. Let's just check the footage anyway. I said I'd apologize if I were wrong. You have my word as a man." He was so precise with the timing, down to the second, and had even given her his solemn word. Macie couldn't help but snap. She looked up at him and, unable to hold back her anger anymore, said, "Then shouldn't you be apologizing to me for what happened that night?"I already explained everythin
