Semua Bab Who's the One Regretting Now?: Bab 521 - Bab 530

Edward didn't think he had said anything wrong, nor did he regret it. Everything he told Yosef was true, and those were the words he'd been holding back for far too long.For years, he had been obsessed with gaining control and expelling Bennett's family from the Fowler family tree. But now, that obsession was beginning to lose its grip on him.His hunger for power had cost him everything in love. His messy relationship with Sharon ended, and he began a new one with Macie, full of resentment. Yet somehow, he had fallen deeply in love with Macie, more than he ever expected. He never thought that this day would come.Edward resented Bennett. But now, he was no better than he was since the same rotten blood ran in his veins. He couldn't let go of power, so he was "forced" into a marriage. Then, he cheated on his wife after getting married, which was even worse than what his father had done. Edward wondered what power Yosef would have had over him if only he had pushed back from the

It was later confirmed that Alice's two roommates really had stolen her belongings. Even a random pair of her slippers was worth more than a few grand. With the total amount involved, it was considered a serious case. Combined with the fact that they'd also incited a fight, both students were expelled.Bits and pieces of that incident replayed in Alice's mind. Macie turned to her and asked, "What are you smiling about?"Alice replied, "I'm thinking about how our friendship started. It's a shame, though. Right after the fight, I got dragged home. I didn't return to the dorm until the second half of junior year."Macie smiled faintly. "It was because your parents were worried about your safety."The two of them walked into the restroom together. Their silhouettes had just disappeared through the doorway when a man, a few steps behind, followed them in.A few minutes later, Macie came out first and walked to the sinks. She stood there washing her hands. Her reflection in the mirr

Instead of getting into the car right away, Sean opened the back door and waited for the two women to get in first. "How much did you drink? Do you feel sick? Should I ask the driver to get some hangover remedy?" he asked, looking into the car.He knew that his sister could hold her liquor. These questions were meant for Macie. He'd seen their table earlier. It was covered in beer bottles and even some stronger stuff."What's gotten into you today, Sean? Not only did you come to pick me up, but now you're fussing over me, too?" Alice teased. Sean was rendered speechless. "I didn't drink that much. I'm not even tipsy. Relax! Let's just go," she giggled to herself. Sean glanced at the quiet young woman beside his sister. Aside from the slight flush on her cheeks, she seemed fine. So, he closed the door, walked around to the front, and got in the passenger seat. He then asked the driver to roll down the windows. When the car started moving, he told the driver, "Drive steadily."

After booting up the app, the first thing Sean saw was the pinned community group for Sunnyridge Heights. He clicked it and found Macie's exact building and floor number. With that, he carried her toward the elevator. As luck would have it, a few other residents were waiting for the elevator there too. When they noticed a tall, handsome guy carrying a young woman, they couldn't help but steal a few glances at them.Sean noticed their curious looks but stayed calm and composed. He didn't want to look like someone sneaking into a neighborhood he didn't belong to.Everything would've been fine if only Macie had stayed still. But to his dismay, she wrapped her arms around his shoulder and frowned, as if she were in an uncomfortable position. Sean's breath caught for a moment, and he didn't dare move a muscle. He tightened his grip slightly, his arm muscles tense and rigid.Her cool skin brushed against the side of his neck, leaving a faint chill that intensified the heat radiating fro

Macie was jolted awake the next morning by the sound of her alarm. Groaning, she reached over for her phone, her head still heavy and dull. After switching it off, she glanced at the time, closed her eyes again, and figured that she'd steal a few more minutes before getting up.However, as she began to doze off, memories of last night flooded her mind, and her eyes flew open. Macie remembered having dinner with Julian and Alice, riding home in Alice's car, and using Sean's handkerchief. But after that… she realized she had blanked out.Macie sat up and glanced at her nightstand. As expected, there was a dark blue silk handkerchief there. It was Sean's. Then, she looked down at herself. She was still in yesterday's clothes, though her shoes were off.Macie pinched the bridge of her nose. This was the first time she'd ever blacked out from drinking, and she had absolutely no idea how she had gotten home. She understood how dangerous it had been and was relieved that she'd been wit
