Lahat ng Kabanata ng His Secret Heir, His Deepest Regret: Kabanata 81 - Kabanata 90

EVANDER I stared at the invitation in my hand and a small smile arose from my lips. I knew Julia and I’s relationship was far from being mended, but this was a start. I heard her loud and clear in the car, and I felt like I was slapped awake. I wanted to go back home, but needed to go back to the office to prepare the contract for Julia and Mr. Miyagi. Rui had informed the renowned artist, and he full-heartedly wanted this collaboration after finding out Julia was going to be included. However, yet again, as I entered the office, Heather was there. I pursed my lips as soon as I saw her. I placed the invitation inside my pocket as she scrutinized me with her sharp eyes. “What are you doing here again?” I asked. I had told the guards not to let her inside of my office. However, it seemed like they still honored my father's wishes. I was sure this was his request. Heather was silent for a moment before she finally spoke. Her voice, once so sweet, was now filled with fury. “Are yo

JULIA Nearly everyone's attention was captured. I couldn't blame them. Evan looked straight out of a magazine despite being in his casual clothes. In fact, it made him even more handsome. I watched as other moms eyed him like a piece of candy, while dads glared at him in both envy and curiosity. Evan smiled at them, making some whisper with each other. I shook my head as I looked at him. So, he really did come. Although he was already smiling at the others, once his gaze was on me, his smile changed to a more genuine one. However, as it landed on Simon's parents, his expression hardened. "Andy's father?" Simon's dad asked. "I've never seen you around." Evan glanced at me before clearing his throat. "I haven't been present for a long time, but I'm here now." Meanwhile, Simon's mom raised one eyebrow, her gaze going back and forth between me and Evan. "Are you sure you're the father?" she asked. "The other parents know that Julia is a single mother. Did she claim for you to be A

JULIA What the heck was Heath doing here? Before I could even ask him a question, Ellie had come by and given us the strings. “Tie your legs together with these,” she said with a small smile. Then, she gave me a subtle wink, making me click my tongue. Evan, Carson, and Heath looked at the ties in my hands before simultaneously speaking. “I’ll stand next to Julia,” Evan said, already planting his spot to my right. At the same time, Carson stood in front of me. “Can I stand next to you?” “Nope, I’ll stand here,” Heath stubbornly said. “You go to the far end.” Carson pursed his lips. “You’re taller, and you have a similar height to this guy,” he said, pointing at Evan. “It’s better if the two of you are on the sides.” “Then, ask him,” Heath shrugged. Evan, however, didn’t even glance at Carson. I sighed and looked around. The other parents had already secured their ties and were ready to go, but my little group was still arguing.“Let’s just keep this kind of position,” I mutt

JULIAEllie took the microphone and smiled at all the attendants. “Thank you so much for participating in this year’s family day! May all of your families prosper and make it here next year,” she jokingly added, making me chuckle. With that, the parents went off with their children, making the school more quiet. The sound of children’s laughter and adults’ gossip was replaced by the soft rustling of the leaves. Andy was already asleep in my arms. His face was peaceful, his lashes brushing against his cheeks, and I couldn’t help but smile. He’d had such a good time today. Suddenly, Heath’s phone buzzed, breaking the silence. He glanced at the screen and clicked his tongue.“Unfortunately, I have to head back to the office,” he said. “People can’t seem to operate without their best employee around.” I scoffed. “Whatever, just go.” With that, Heath winked at me and went on his way. I still had a lot of questions I wanted to ask him, but it seemed he wasn’t ready to answer them.As s

JULIA The tears came without warning, streaming down my cheeks. The sound of our sobs filled the space as we held each other’s bodies. He pulled away for a moment, brushing away my tears, but it was no use. They just kept coming. He continued crying, too, his shoulders shaking as he pulled me into his arms. “I’m sorry,” he whispered once more, his voice breaking. "I’m so sorry, Julia. I’m sorry for everything."I buried my face in his chest, my hands clutching at his shirt as sobs wracked my body. It was like a dam had burst, releasing years of anger. All the words I’d held back and emotions I’d buried came rushing to the surface.“You left me,” I choked out, my voice muffled against his chest. “You left us.”“I know,” he said, his voice filled with regret. “I know, and I’ll never forgive myself for that. I was stupid, Julia. I was scared, and I didn’t know how to be what you needed. But I’ve regretted it every single day since. It’s my biggest regret, and I’ll spend the rest of m
