Semua Bab Who's the One Regretting Now?: Bab 21 - Bab 30

In the ward, Macie lay on her stomach, practicing sketching on her graphics tablet.The phone she had placed at the side rang. Macie picked it up and took a glance at it. Then, she tossed it aside nonchalantly.The phone stopped ringing 40 seconds later. Macie thought that the person would not call again, yet she received another call.Two more calls followed suit. It felt like the person was going to make another hundred phone calls relentlessly like what they had done in the morning.Macie could not understand why Edward was calling her now."Does he want to ask me to make dinner for him? He knows that I'm staying at the hospital, though?" she pondered.Macie worried that Edward might storm into the ward and cause a ruckus again like what he did in the afternoon. She put down the stylus, took a deep breath, and answered the phone.Before she could even say anything, the person on the other end of the line started ranting furiously."Why are you only picking up on the fourth c

"You can contact my assistant and let him know if you suffer any losses for tonight's show," Edward said.The director's eyes instantly lit up. He liked speaking to someone like Edward, who was generous and straightforward. He smiled slightly."We won't suffer huge losses because of a minor incident like that. Besides, we should have considered the possibility of accidents like this happening too. Ms. Emerson can join our fashion shows again once her injury is healed. I'll always have a place for her."Edward rose to his feet. He gave the director Nathan's business card nonetheless. Then, he helped Sharon get up from the chair.When he noticed Sharon limping and swaying slightly, Edward picked her up in his arms again. Sharon looped her arms around Edward's neck and leaned against his shoulder, looking rather shy.Meanwhile, the reporters had gathered outside the exit a while ago. They managed to take photos of the pair as soon as they emerged from the building.Sharon seemed fri

Macie bit her lip as she remembered about the diary. She blamed herself for not tearing it to bits or setting it on flames beforehand. However, she figured that Sharon probably would not be able to find it since the diary was locked inside a drawer.She eventually calmed down. When she was about to turn off her phone, a notification window for a news article popped up on the screen. The title read, "The Fowler Family's Next Successor Rushes Onto the Stage for a Model During a Fashion Show."Macie stared at the screen for a brief moment.The Fowler family's next successor… She figured that the media could only be referring to Edward with that title.Her gaze fell on the word "model" next. When she came to her senses, she noticed that she had tapped on the link for the news article.A photo was displayed above the article. Edward was carrying a woman in his arms. That person buried her face in his chest. Macie recognized that it was Sharon just by looking at her side profile.Her f

Even though the news articles were quickly taken down, Yosef had learned of what had happened. He called from the Fowler residence early in the morning and yelled at Edward furiously.Edward was on his way to work. He quietly listened and did not talk back while Yosef scolded him harshly."Macie is such a nice woman. Do you not feel guilty toward her at all? Do you not appreciate all the sacrifices she's made in the past two years?" Yosef felt so frustrated with his grandson.Edward pursed his lips."Sacrifices? Just because she's prepared our meals? She used the washing machine to wash our clothes and the robotic vacuum cleaner to clean the floor. I was the one who had to look after her during the past two years. What's more, she's utterly ungrateful. She even slapped me yesterday," he thought."If you really can't appreciate her efforts… I hope you won't regret this someday. There's only two weeks left—" Yosef continued.Edward cut him off since his patience was running out. "I

Hence, Sharon instructed Rebecca to move Macie's things out of the room. Although she did not get to stay in the master bedroom, Sharon found it satisfying to have kicked Macie out of her own room.Edward furrowed his brows as he watched them move Macie's belongings. He entered the room and noticed Rebecca trying to pry open a drawer. He went over to help.Men were physically stronger. After a few tries, Edward managed to yank the drawer open with his brute force. Even the metal parts of the lock were bent out of shape.Only a notebook with a light blue cover was placed in the drawer.Edward picked up the notebook and flipped to the first page. He instantly realized what the notebook was."Only those with secrets would write diaries," Edward snickered. He was about to flip to the next page when a hand reached over from above his head and snatched the notebook away."You shouldn't be reading a woman's diary. I'll help May keep it somewhere safe."Edward pursed his lips. He stared
