Ex-Lover's Regret のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 81 - チャプター 90

Chris' POVI looked at Edwin, who looked at all the guests present before speaking and smiling. "I'm glad to see that so many people, including all of you here tonight, are so concerned about the welfare of children that they decided to join the STAR Association.""The children in the STAR Association were previously children who had lost hope and could not survive on their own, especially since the association's current focus is on children who have chronic illnesses that are difficult to cure without your help." He said, looking more serious.The LCD screen displayed a building and then switched to several figures of researchers obscured by glass, looking serious in a laboratory full of equipment and wearing special clothes to ensure the cleanliness of the place and the research they seemed to be doing."With the addition of the grants raised so far, the STAR Association was finally able to establish a research center to create medicines that can cure children's illnesses, as well a

Nicole's POVI looked at Adeline calmly. "There's no need to act like this. Didn't you hear when I was introduced earlier? I am Nicole Duncan."I looked at Adeline, who was getting angrier after hearing my words. Her hands were clenched, and her lips were tightly pursed, but I could listen to the gnashing of her teeth, which told me that she was very upset by my blunt words.After my Edwin introduced me as part of the Duncan Family, in front of the many people attending the association party, Adeline already looked unaccepting of the reality she saw firsthand and was filled with emotion.I already knew she never liked me and only pretended to be nice at the beginning of our meeting. In the end, she turned into a person who always wanted to take what I had, even if it was just a compliment.If someone were to do that to me, she would go to any lengths to get more praise from me. It was the same with other things. That woman had always wanted attention from many people and didn't want m

Chris' POVOn the way home, I checked my phone and saw that various articles about Nicole had been spread across several media portals.I saw that some of them made the news about her in the headline on the first page, and various photos of her smiling or talking were displayed as supplements. Not forgetting Edwin, as well as the woman's son with a disguised face.As a newly announced member of the Duncan family after a long time, many people were very interested in Nicole, especially with all the achievements that she had managed to accomplish without using the Duncan name so far.Nicole was the top search on the website, while the Duncan Family and the STAR Association came in second and third. That woman's appearance really had an impact that could make cyberspace into this much of an uproar.I looked at a few other articles about Nicole before putting my phone down, exhaling with all the things I had to go through today. The only thing that made me feel a little more relieved was

Adeline's POV"As you said, this woman's face resembles Nicole's. How could that be?" my mom said, still looking at the photo of the woman in the article she was reading.After being kicked out of Chris's house, I returned to Martinez's house as my only place to go home. I only have this house. Although I hated the current house, it was much better to be here with my mother, who also disliked Nicole and tell the woman I still suspected to be her directly rather than trying to prove her identity alone.I nodded. "I don't know either, Mom, but she insists she's part of the Duncan Family. If you met that woman, I'm sure that you'd recognise her as a bitch, too, from that annoying look in her eyes."Most of the time, her gaze looked frightened or resigned whenever I tortured that woman, but there were times when Nicole would suddenly become rather bold and unapologetic and look at both me and my mother with a challenging gaze.At that moment, my useless step-sister seemed to be getting m

Nicole' POV"I'm so glad to see you again, Richard. You seem to be doing well while you're here." Edwin smiled at my son as he picked him up. He walked over to the nearest bench so he could sit down and sat Richard on his lap.Richard nodded, returning his grandfather's smile. "Yes, Grandpa. I find it quite exciting here because I can do more of what I want.""Really?" Edwin raised an eyebrow in surprise, looking at Richard, who for once seemed to be acting like a boy his age. "Tell Grandpa what you've been doing that's been fun while you've been here, Richard."Richard told him about his activities from the beginning of our move here, as well as some of the events he attended with me or just alone with Key until recently when I was busy attending other vital events. He looked excited, as did my father, who responded favourably to his story."I made a lot of robots, Grandpa. Among them, there were also some that I made for Mom and one of them succeeded in making the person who was Mom
