Regret of Her Ex-Husband のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

CHARLOTTE“Charlotte, what brings you by my room at this time of the night? Are you offering me some sort of transaction?”In truth, I liked how Nathan spoke to me, especially since it’d been years since I received such attention.From the tilt of his brows to the smirk playing on his lips, I could tell he found me desirable, and strangely, I reveled in that thought.After Liam and prison, any form of attention from the opposite sex was a wonder. But tonight, as I stood before Nathan, something strange took root within me.I tried shaking off the thoughts, but when I looked at him again, at his tall, muscular form, his beautiful eyes… shit!I lowered my eyes, flustered. Clearing my throat, I said in a rush. “I noticed you didn’t eat dinner, so I brought some for you.”He looked down at the tray in my hands but said nothing, so I continued. “It’s also a thank you meal for all the times you’ve helped me prove my innocence in this house. I never got to show my gratitude, and seeing as yo

NATHANI woke up this morning with the lingering taste of Charlotte’s cooking on my tongue and a smile I couldn’t wipe off.It was strange for me. Very strange.I tried to attribute my happiness to just the food. After all, it had been such a long time since I tasted anything, but deep down, I knew that wasn’t it.It was something else. It was her.So I decided to see her again this morning. I was going to thank her and then tell her I would help with whatever it was she wanted from me.I was going to give her a chance. Maybe in that way, I could repay the food gesture.But when I went downstairs, there was no sign of her. I asked the servants about her, and one told me she’d seen Charlotte leaving with Liam for the hospital.Why? I’d asked. Why would Charlotte follow her ex-husband to the hospital? She wasn’t sick, so why…?Then the maid mentioned that they’d gone to visit ‘Sophia Windsor,’ and just like that, I put two and two together.Sophia Windsor meant trouble for Charlotte. Sh

CHARLOTTE‘I am going to help Charlotte gain custody of her son back, no matter the cost.’These words echoed in my head over and over.Hearing them, words that I never would have expected to hear from Nathan Hamilton, made me feel as though I had finally been set free.It felt like a huge burden placed on my bones had been removed, and now I had more strength to fight for what was mine.Now, I could also hope.I opened my mouth to say something but closed it again because words failed me. I also didn’t want to say anything that would ruin this.Besides, a furious Liam still stood nearby, and I knew he wouldn’t hesitate to laugh if I spoke out of turn.But that wouldn’t stop me.I opened my mouth again, this time ready to show Nathan my gratitude, but just before I could, the shrill ringtone of a cell phone cut me off.It was his.Nathan took out the phone from his pocket and swiftly swiped the answer button. “Yes?” He asked into the receiver.A frown appeared on his face as he listen

CHARLOTTE“Noah… wh…what happened to you?!” I asked, the words coming out in a jumble.He stepped back and tried to hide his arms, but I glared at him.“Talk to me.” I urged him.I was already feeling guilty for not noticing the wounds earlier, and I’ll be damned if I didn’t get to the root cause of whatever caused this bruise.“Oh, this?” He began to wave his hands while smiling—a fake smile actually.Again, the thing about Noah was he was a good liar.Straight-edged, without missing a single breath.The only way I knew how to catch him in the act was to see if he was looking at me while speaking. And now he wasn’t.“I got the bruises here. It was an accident. I was working on an unfamiliar car model, and some metal scrap came loose from one of the wheels. I was clumsy, I guess.” Noah laughed as if it was a joke.It was clearly not a joke. And like I’d guessed, he had lied to me.I pursed my lips. “Tell me the truth, Noah.”He looked at me now, and when I met his gaze, I saw somethin

CHARLOTTE‘You will help me destroy Nathan.’My brain froze.That was practically impossible.“What? I asked dumbly.“You heard me. I said…” He paused, still staggering towards me. When he got close, he leaned in, his breath reeking of alcohol and repeated smugly. “You will help me destroy Nathan’s ass, Charlotte.”“Whatever this is, you don’t actually mean it.”“Oh, yes, I do, ex-wife. I meant it when I said you’ll bring down that motherfucking son of a bitch.”I gasped.“But…but why?” I stammered.“And how is that supposed to be any of your concern.” Liam’s eyes flashed sinisterly. “You said you would do anything in exchange for my help, and this is what I want. It’s simple, no?”I wasn’t even referring to him asking me to do this impossible task. I wanted to know why he was hell-bent on destroying his half-brother.I’d lived with the Hamiltons, and while I knew the rivalry there, I never imagined Liam would take such an extremely selfish route.“So?” He sneered. “Are you going to c
