All Chapters of Who's the One Regretting Now?: Chapter 301 - Chapter 310

Xavier sighed before saying over the phone, "Sean has quietly gone out of his way! On the surface, it's just a bottle of perfume, but in truth, it is a show of his heartfelt feelings for you…"Macie was momentarily speechless.Her brow twitched in annoyance. She couldn't hold back any longer and directly interrupted, "He didn't say it was from him because he didn't even get it himself. Should I call him now to settle this on a three-way call?"Xavier couldn't understand why Macie was taking it so seriously. She was only supposed to be moved by the gesture, nothing more."There's no need to settle anything. I'm his friend. Of course I know…" Xavier tried to laugh it off."I'm not his friend. So for fairness and transparency, let's call him now and ask," Macie said, expressionlessly.Xavier was stunned and wasn't sure how to respond.Hearing the silence on the other end of the line, Macie spoke again. "Mr. Marlowe, the moment you claimed Mr. Hart personally went to the store to pi

Sean looked up, then lowered his head again and forked the last piece of steak into his mouth. He calmly said, "I'm not curious. It has nothing to do with me." He dabbed his mouth with a napkin.Xavier raised a brow. "You looked so deep in thought just now. I thought you were really curious.""It was just surprising to hear for the first time that Macie and Edward had a two-year contract marriage. That's all," Sean replied.Xavier gave a small laugh and didn't pursue the topic further. After the meal, Sean took the initiative to pay. "Thanks, Sean. I'll treat you next time," Xavier said."There's no need for that," Sean replied."You're not coming? Macie said she wants to treat me to dinner to show her appreciation. I can bring you along," Xavier said, grinning.Sean paused for half a second. "She's not inviting me, so I'm not going," he said expressionlessly.As Xavier watched him walk out of the restaurant, he couldn't help but feel there was a hint of sulking in his tone."Y

"Hmm?" Xavier looked confused.He hadn't thought that there was anything wrong with what he said. He thought it sounded completely natural."You said that Mr. Hart asked you to mediate, but that couldn't have happened, as I've already settled things with him. He wouldn't come to you to smooth things over," Macie said.Xavier realized then that he had gotten it wrong from the first sentence. It turned out that Sean stopping to tell him that before leaving wasn't just casual.It was a reminder. Sean hadn't trusted him from the beginning."Then why did you call me?" Macie asked again.Xavier awkwardly cleared his throat. For once, he was at a loss when faced with a beauty with a high IQ."I just wanted to ask what happened between you and Sean. I was curious about the issue between you two.""You could've asked me directly," Macie replied.Xavier had only intended to probe lightly, to test the waters with subtlety. Who would've thought he would end up making a fool of himself ins

Xavier said, "Nope. It definitely was not me. I don't have that kind of pull. Plus, that's way too much trouble. Sean and I are friends, yes, but we hadn't seen or contacted each other in years."So, Ms. Smith, there's no need to doubt it. He really did it just for—"Xavier wanted to help Sean out, saying that the latter had done it especially for Macie. But before he could finish, she cut him off."It must've been Alice," Macie said."No—" Xavier started to deny it.Indeed, Sean had said it was because Alice had requested it of him.But in moments like this, Alice could step back and let Sean take all the credit, paving the way for something to spark between him and Macie."No."Just as Xavier said "No", Macie also spoke, echoing the word.Suddenly realizing something, she said, "I asked Alice for help, and on Saturday, we discussed analyzing the neighborhood surveillance. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have assumed that you were the one who asked him."Her thoughts had been misled

"Actually, I think Xavier genuinely wanted to have a meal with you," Macie said after Alice finished venting."But don't get the wrong idea. It's just the kind of thing old friends do when they haven't seen each other in a while. You'd be just catching up.""Who's friends with him? He's my brother's friend." Alice scoffed.There was no such thing as a friendly reunion between them. If there had been, Xavier would have reached out at some point during the past six years.But now that Sean had returned, Xavier suddenly couldn't wait to see her. Clearly, the latter was just full of hot air. It seemed that he did it on purpose. He was simply using her, not genuinely wanting to see her."I didn't agree to it, though," Macie said."Don't humor him. If he wants to pass on your offer to treat him to dinner as a show of thanks, let him. You'll save on a meal anyway." Alice snorted."You invited him multiple times, and he didn't appreciate it. He even used me as a cover. What a jerk."Ma
