บททั้งหมดของ Who's the One Regretting Now?: บทที่ 631 - บทที่ 640

For the rest of the ride, Diana didn't say a single word. It was clear that she was still processing the day's dramatic turn.Sean took out his phone and texted Alice about Sharon, but she didn't reply. He glanced to the side and saw that Diana still looked stunned, clearly rattled by the blow.Now that she knew Sharon was Edward's mistress, she wouldn't proceed with her ridiculous matchmaking plans, whether out of disgust or to save face with the Fowler family.Soon, they arrived at the restaurant.Meanwhile, elsewhere on the road, Alice was tearing through traffic in her Ferrari, grumbling under her breath as she floored the gas."Seriously, a blind date? And Mom couldn't even tell me ahead of time?" She scoffed. "Now she's insisting that I show up, even giving me a half-hour time limit. Ridiculous."She sneered. "It had better be the president of the country himself. I want to see who gets this kind of red carpet."With a blank expression, she followed the navigation to the l

Elias' gaze grew colder as he stared at Alice. The latter met his eyes, but the sheer pressure radiating off him made her heart skip a beat.Alice thought it was strange. When had she, the proud Ms. Hart, ever been afraid of anyone? But just this man's stare alone sent chills down her spine.Behind him, Sharon stayed silent, her face half hidden behind Elias' shoulder. Her lips curled up ever so slightly.Finally, the moment she had been waiting for had come. It was the perfect chance to tear Alice down.A misunderstanding? Oh, she hoped it'd be something even uglier. The nastier the accusation, the sweeter the twist would be when it all came crashing back the other way.Sharon couldn't wait for this scene to play out. Elias might not act on her behalf proactively, but she'd steer things in that direction. That was the whole reason she came that day.She had imagined a much more intense scene, maybe even a physical scuffle. But right when it looked like the tension might explode,

Alice sat at the table with absolutely no appetite. She glanced across and saw Elias serving food onto Sharon's plate—a perfect little picture of sibling love.It made her sick. She felt like she'd just swallowed a fly. She wanted to vent her feelings.Alice wondered how Sharon had suddenly materialized a brother. Moreover, it just so happened that her parents knew Elias, and both families seemed to be on friendly terms.Then, she remembered something else.Diana had asked her to come here for one reason—to help her find a match.And who could she possibly be set up with? There was only one man she wasn't related to at the table—Elias.At that moment, it was like a whole banquet table of flies was laid out in front of her. Indeed, Elias was attractive and, admittedly, her type. But he was Sharon's brother. He clearly protected Sharon no matter what, which made him her enemy by default.How was she supposed to go through with a matchmaking session with someone like that?She a

Diana let out a heavy sigh. Sean said, "I told you not to get your hopes up. Besides, I won't let Alice marry into the Hale family. With Sharon in that family, there's going to be many complicated, messy situations and conflicts."He continued, "We're not some desperate family selling Alice off for status, right?"When she heard that, Diana clarified, "That's not what I meant. I just want what's best for her."Most of the wealthy young men in Williamford weren't that impressive, but Edward was considered one of the better options. Diana had been sizing up the city's young entrepreneurs, and Elias stood out. She figured that it wouldn't hurt for Alice to spend some time with him, but it wasn't like she was trying to force them to be together."Elias seems like a decent young man. He's smart, capable, and good-looking. But honey, we should respect Alice's choices. There's no point in pressuring her," Dominic said.Diana said nothing as her husband and son spoke in unison. She wa

Edward turned toward Alice and said indifferently, "Then, what are you doing here?"She hesitated, then shot back, "I'm different. Just having you around makes May sick. She can't even stand hearing you breathe."He didn't respond. He simply narrowed his eyes. His gaze was sharp with barely contained anger."Just because my grandpa's got your back doesn't mean I won't kick you out of here." Each word came out sharp and deliberate.Alice let out a dismissive snort. She tried shoving Edward out of the way, but he barely budged. So, she grabbed a chair and pulled it right up to Macie's bedside, clearly ready for a standoff.She reached out to touch Macie's forehead, but he blocked her and handed her a pack of wet wipes instead.She found it ridiculous. When did Edward become such a germaphobe? What made him think he could play hygiene police? Who was Macie to him anyway? He was acting as if she were some kind of rare collectible he didn't want anyone else to touch.Alice shot him
