บททั้งหมดของ Regret of Her Ex-Husband: บทที่ 51 - บทที่ 60

CHARLOTTEDischarge day came, and with it, a feeling of freedom and excitement.The moment I stepped out of the hospital, the breezy air whipped against my face gently, and I closed my eyes, relishing it.I took in a long, deep breath.Finally, the air around me didn't smell like disinfectant and antiseptics.Gaze scanning through the entire cars parked in the lot, another breath of relief escaped me at the realization that Nathan hadn’t come.Despite his asking to be notified, I'd done the discharge processes myself and prepared to leave alone.I didn't wait for Nathan because if he saw me, he would know about my date for today.The blind date I hoped would help solve Charles's fatherly concerns.I'd asked my brother to set me up with someone, and he’d done that.Fortunately, too, everything was already planned and set.The date would be at Denver's restaurant by 2 p.m. I kept praying and hoping that this blind date, whoever he was, would solve all of Charles’s and my problems.The d

NATHAN“Your father is doing many terrible things to suppress the brewing scandals,” Dan informed me as I tapped my foot impatiently against the car floor.“Information reaching me is that he's buying witnesses and trying to get people to testify for Liam and Melina if they should ever appear in court. He is also pulling hard strings and involving many higher-ups in this case,” Dan continued his gaze still on the road. He was driving now. “And he doesn’t care if these things affect you.”As he continued speaking, my fist tightened.Of course, he'd try to do everything to get his wife and son off the negative limelight, a contrast to the way he reacted when Mom was on her deathbed.Every time he treated Melina with love and affection, I couldn’t help but wonder if he genuinely didn’t have a hand in the death of his first wife—my mother.No, he did.It was evident in how he’d treated the women in his life.He treated one - my mother - like a castaway and the other like a jewel.“Pfft.”

CHARLOTTEDinner was over, and I busied myself with clearing the dishes while Nathan and Charles talked about stuff I didn't know in the living room.Later, the sound of their voices diminished, and curious, I hurriedly finished my kitchen duty.Then I returned to the living room to check up on Nathan and Charles, but they were no longer there.With my feet quickening, I searched the rooms and finally found them in the guest room.Standing by the slightly open door, I peeked in without making my presence known.Nathan sat on the bed, softly reading words from a book he held while Charles intently listened.From where I stood, I saw Charles’s eyes drooping, and as if on cue, they fluttered shut.Thinking Nathan would leave immediately, I started to leave when suddenly I caught onto something out of the corner of my eye.Nathan leaned forward and kissed Charles on his forehead. Then he tucked him in.I watched the entire interaction in surprise.I never thought I’d see the day when cold

CHARLOTTEMy entire body was sore by morning, with the memories of the last night’s sexual encounter still brewing in my mind.From kissing passionately in the bathroom, Nathan had taken me to the bedroom, where he made love to me with his hands and mouth.Then he’d proceeded to fuck me hard and long all night, leaving us both exhausted from the effort.He was a good lover—a great kisser—and we both enjoyed ourselves immensely.I felt content as we lay under the duvet, sunlight streaming in and Nathan’s arm possessively wrapped around my waist.This was everything I had always wanted. Everything I needed. And more.A smile crept on my face as I tipped my head to stare at his face.His eyes were closed, his lips still pursed, but he always looked handsome.Involuntarily, my fingers went up to feel the stubble beards that scattered around his jaws, and my goodness…he looked so breathtaking. So handsome.A slight sound left his throat when I caressed his jaw again, and his eyes fluttered

CHARLOTTEMy heart sank to the bottom of my stomach as I watched Nathan rush to carry the beautiful woman who just fainted at the door.She looked pale and fragile like a flower carefully cultivated in a garden of love.“Wendy? Wendy?” Nathan called her name gently, his eyes softening a little bit at the unconscious woman on his arm.I had seen the look on her face before she fainted, the way her eyes lit up when she saw Nathan. She looked like she was in love with Nathan.Combined with Nathan's concern…I was sure that this was someone he liked, too.Nathan Hamilton liked another woman.The realization struck me hard.Without another word or glance at me, I watched Nathan gently carry the lady out the door.Hesitantly, I followed him out.I helped him open the car door while he placed her in the back seat.He turned to face me, and his expression was—unreadable.If someone asked me to explain his expression, I would say he looked guilty, maybe.But why?“Charlotte, I’m sorry. I need t
