Semua Bab Who's the One Regretting Now?: Bab 251 - Bab 260

Sean frowned and replied to Alice's message. "What do you mean by embarrassing you? What did I do?"Alice stared at the message, dumbfounded. For the first time, she seriously questioned her brother's social awareness.After all, just because Sean had never dated before, it didn't mean that he had to be that clueless. As she recalled, he had even shamelessly flirted with Macie at Brightech Studios, as though he were a professional. She couldn't believe the sudden change in her brother's attitude.She replied, "Macie's a grown woman. And you're cursing her with hemorrhoids? What is wrong with you? Don't you think you're being rude? Who even says stuff like that?"At that time, Sean was at his office. He pursed his lips in silence as he stared at his phone.He wasn't cursing Macie. He was simply pointing out a medical fact. Indeed, sitting too long on the toilet could cause hemorrhoids, which wasn't great for women.He didn't know why Alice thought he was being rude. He saw no reas

Sean looked at Xavier, and his expression stiffened. He pursed his lips and tightened his fingers on the wine glass."Come on, man, spill it. What's her name? Where's she from? Do I know her?" Xavier asked. He was immediately interested in the gossip.Sean looked exasperated. He said thoughtfully, "What are you talking about? I've only met her two or three times.""It sounds like love at first sight," Xavier teased, grinning.He added, "She must be hot, huh? Great figure, killer smile… a total heartbreaker?"Sean was left speechless, and Macie's image flashed through his mind. Still, he couldn't say Xavier was wrong."It's not what you think," Sean corrected.Xavier smiled but didn't say a single word. He raised an eyebrow with that trademark "I get it, say no more" look in his eyes.Sean hesitated and said, "I swear, that's not true. I didn't even know her before. We've just been crossing paths a lot lately."From Edward's ex-wife to Alice's friend, then an employee at one of

Xavier said, "Bags and clothes aren't suitable gifts for Macie, and the jewelry is a bit too eye-catching, so perfume is your best bet."For the scent, go with something light and fresh. If it has a sweet finish, that's even better. It'll give it a nice twist. Arvani just launched a new perfume called 'Midnight Dream'. I think it's perfect."Sean stood at the doorway and glanced at Xavier. Xavier may be teasing him, but he was also genuinely helping him pick out a gift. He even gave Sean the name of the brand and the perfume. All Sean had to do was pay for it.Sean hesitated before muttering, "Thanks."Nevertheless, he couldn't bring himself to deny it.He had already left the private room. Then, he heard Xavier say, "No need to thank me. Don't forget to make me your best man at the wedding."Sean said nothing and turned around. He had made himself clear, so why was Xavier still getting the wrong idea?He wanted to push the door open and return inside, but his hand hovered ove

Alice was helping Macie clean the dishes at home. However, she seemed distracted, staring off into space.Macie handed her a spoon, but Alice didn't take it. It clattered to the floor with a sharp sound. The noise snapped Alice out of her daze."I'm sorry, May. It slipped from my hand. I'll buy you a new one tomorrow," Alice said as she bent down to pick it up."Don't use your hands." Macie stopped her. She added, "It's just a ceramic spoon. If you hurt your hand, it'll be a bigger problem."Macie grabbed a broom to clean up the sharp pieces of broken ceramic, then threw them in the trash. She turned to Alice and said, "Go sit on the couch. I'll take care of it. You don't need to help anymore.""I'll get you a dishwasher," Alice offered.Macie smiled and responded, "You don't have to buy it. I've already picked out the model. After dinner with Julian tomorrow, I'll call the store and have it delivered."Then, she asked, "But you've been spaced out ever since you got off the phon

Alice said, "I want to give him a taste of his own medicine."After hearing that, Macie got a bad feeling. She advised, "Xavier isn't a rookie when it comes to relationships. It's better if you don't see him much. At least you can keep your emotions in check."But if you take the initiative to approach him and get back at him, be careful or you'll end up shooting yourself in the foot."Alice still had feelings for Xavier. Otherwise, she wouldn't be acting so strangely that day and second-guess why he wanted to meet her."It's fine. I can't keep running away from this, right?" Alice said. She added, "I'll keep you updated. If things go wrong, you'll set me straight. You're right. My head tells me to let him go, but I just can't move on."Macie looked at her, then gently took her hand.Alice couldn't even bring herself to the appointment or to go to dinner that day. How could she be so firm in her decision and stay so unshaken?"I can't talk you out of it, but I just hope you'll k
