Semua Bab Her Return, His Regret: Bab 131 - Bab 140

“Uncle, help me look for my husband,” Lora asked Aiden Davis when she walked into his office. Aiden arched an eyebrow. He hadn’t been expecting his niece, but seeing her look so anxious made him worried. “Don’t tell me he’s already cheating on you,” he said. “No, Uncle… Ryan would never,” Lora stated, pacing back and forth in the office. "I haven't seen him in two days. I have a bad feeling about this. He’s avoiding me and I feel like something serious has happened. I need to find him and talk to him.” “Perhaps he just wants time to sort himself out…” Aiden remarked. “He will come to you when he’s ready-”“And when would that be? What if I go crazy from being anxious and worried? I need to talk to him and find out what the problem is… he’s my partner,” Lora remarked, her stomach twisting and turning. “How can I ignore my husband when he's not acting like himself?” Just like the other night, Ryan returned home very late the previous night. He slept next to Lora and left before she

Lora froze, her hands which Ryan was holding trembling in his hold. The restaurant was warm but the warmth did nothing to defrost the icy reality that had just been laid bare. A chill ran down her spine, making her blood run cold. Was Ryan really dying?She stared at him, her lips parting but no words came out of her mouth. Her mind was spinning with several thoughts. A thousand emotions rushed into her at once- anger and devastation.“Lora-”“Ryan… how could you think like that?” She managed to whisper although her voice was shaking. “Why would you throw away your life like it was nothing?” “Back then, my life was nothing without you in it,” Ryan admitted. “Everything felt meaningless. I was consumed by guilt and regret. I had to make it right somehow. Although my death couldn’t bring you back, I knew I would join you and make it up to you in the afterlife.” “Make it up to me?” Lora repeated, her voice rising and raw with emotion. “Did you ever sit to think if I would have wante

David Williams was confused when his security told him that a woman was there to see him. He wasn't expecting anyone at that time, so he wondered who it could be. When he allowed them to let her through, his eyes widened when he saw none other than Celeste Anderson Kingsley, Miles Kingsley's wife.He was shocked to see her at his house. They hadn’t met in private for so many years now after a certain incident. David sighed, gesturing for her to take a seat across from him in his study. “What makes you think it’s going to work this time?” David asked, looking at Celeste. "Ryan isn't easy to defeat." Celeste smirked. She crossed her legs and said, “By tomorrow, something will happen that will give us an opportunity to get rid of the Kingsley group. I want you to buy into the group but my son should be made the CEO once it becomes yours.”David’s eyes widened again. He had a question mark on his face as he uttered, “What do you mean? Do you know how much the Kingsley Group is worth? W

Celeste Anderson Kingsley hid a smirk as cameras flashed before her taking pictures and videos of her. It was the myelodysplastic syndromes world awareness day and she volunteered to be interviewed as a parent whose son was suffering from the rare disease. The host glanced at her and remarked, “Mrs Kingsley, I must applaud you for doing this. I’m sure it’s not easy.” Celeste wiped a fake tear from the corner of her eyes and sniffed before saying, “It’s not easy to come out in the open and talk about this. However, today, I want to use my family’s story to encourage someone who’s going through the same situation.”The host nodded. She glanced down at her script and asked, “So, you mentioned your son has cancer and has only a few months left to live, which one among your two sons has this illness and how are you coping as a family?”Celeste glanced at the camera, the look on her face sad as she announced, “It’s with deep sadness that I announce that Ryan Kingsley, the current CEO of t

Doctor Steve paused, hesitating. He looked at Ryan and Lora before asking, “Should I tell you the news here or you want to hear it in private?”Lora and Ryan shared a look and when Lora gave him a small nod in acknowledgement, Ryan glanced at the doctor and said, “Like Dad said, we are family. You can say the news in front of everyone.”“What’s the good news, Doctor?” Charles asked. His lips suddenly curled into a grin. “Is it what I think it is?”All eyes were glued to the doctor as they waited for the news.Doctor Steve cleared his throat and announced, “Mrs Kingsley, you are pregnant. Congratulations!”Dead silence fell upon the place for a few seconds before Charles exclaimed, “Yes! Another great-grandchild! Well done, Ryan!”Ryan hugged Lora, his heart thundering in his chest as he stated, “Lora... this is wonderful news! I love you so much!”The rest of the family showed their excitement and congratulated the couple. When they were done, Ryan looked at Lora whose eyes were blurre
