Lahat ng Kabanata ng Ex-Lover's Regret: Kabanata 331 - Kabanata 340

Nicole's POVThere was a panic rising inside me. I didn't want to get so close to him that I'd repeat the very thing that had entangled me in his arms so many times before.Deliberately, I tried to push him away as much as my strength would allow, but my balance faltered again, and I could have fallen back down if he hadn't caught me immediately. I lost while he looked at me with a slightly furrowed brow."Calm down, there's no need to rush into something like this, Nicole." He said. "Try standing with the balance you did before, but more relaxed and less tense. I will still hold you."I had no choice but to take his advice.Not long after that, Richard stopped in front of us, looking at me and the man still holding me tightly, one after the other. He smiled slightly. "Mom finally found a good teacher. You seem to be able to help you well."I opened my eyes wide, hearing the words of my son, who openly declared me and the man as his parents. Even though it was true, legally and with m

Edwin's POV"Are you seriously going to let that man be with Miss Nicole, sir?"I was standing by the window of my study at home, watching Nicole and my granddaughter playing outside, around the garden, and accompanied by one of the dog-shaped robots she had brought along so many times. I was glad to see them having such fun.It's not often that they get to play together in between their busy schedules, but I'm glad that at least these two are still willing to take the time to spend time together. I wanted to come too, but I knew that their bond as mother and son was very strong and I didn't want to disturb them...I finally turned around, looking at Key who had just asked me a question. His question sounded natural since both he and I knew the man in question in this case."Of course, yes." I sighed softly, looking at the young man, who looked a little stiff with tension. "You know that I'm old. I have always been someone who plans things and almost everything goes well.""When I fir

Nicole's POVI froze, frozen by what Chris had suddenly done to me.The sensation of his lips on mine woke me up, making me wonder what could make him do something like this when the relationship between us hadn't even returned to what it was a few years ago.My hands tried to push him away, but he held me so tightly it wasn't easy to let go of me, especially when his lips were still pressed against mine, and he crushed them in a way that made me tremble.I don't know if I'm holding back my anger or just wanting to follow him.I've been through this many times when it comes to him. He was too stubborn, while I was like a ship at sea that could only go with the flow of the waves that were taking me away or even forcing me to stay in the same place for some time.I gave up, letting him do his thing with my mouth clamped shut.After that, the man finally moved away from me until I could give him a sharp look. He didn't seem to be fully focused after his solo play, his gaze still fixed on

Nicole's POVI didn't know we could end up like this. I was having lunch with Chris, just the two of us, without Richard, who would usually mediate between us and familiarize himself with each of us to fill the silence.A while ago, he called me while I was still in the office and working. He only spoke briefly, as if telling me, without waiting for my reply."Mom, let's have lunch together. I'll send you the restaurant's address; don't be late." My son hung up immediately.I stared at my phone for a while but immediately prepared to leave after receiving the message that the address was already from him. I sent a reply message to inquire about his whereabouts. Still, he has yet to read or reply immediately, as usual.I left it at that, feeling that Richard must also be on his way to the restaurant we were heading to for lunch.Within moments, I arrived at the restaurant, which was quite crowded. There were a few office workers and students who were also having lunch, but among them a

Nicole's POVI paused to look at the man's face, especially his smile, which made me feel like I was about to lose focus. I didn't let that go on for too long and pushed the bouquet of flowers at him, waking him up to something.His eyes widened slightly. He put a little distance between us, letting me stand evenly, though his hands were still on my waist, and said casually. "Oh yes, I wanted to give you this bouquet of flowers."I gazed at the bouquet of flowers she handed to me. The arrangement was pretty, consisting of only three flowers, but the colors of the flowers were well integrated and complemented each other. The skill of the bouquet arranger could be recognized. I could also smell the fragrance of the bouquet he gave me.At this point, my focus completely disappeared, especially as I tried to deal with the predicament right in front of me.It's been too long since I've experienced this, and it felt so different when I was with Matthew. After all, this man in front of me di
