Semua Bab Who's the One Regretting Now?: Bab 751 - Bab 760

Julian, Edward's longtime rival in love, had posted a picture from a dinner gathering. The dishes all looked suspiciously familiar.If Edward was overthinking, then how could he explain the comments below the post? Especially Alice's. There was also a pattern on the table beneath the plates.Edward immediately accessed his photo album to compare it to the photo Alice had once "shown off" to him before. The pattern on the placemat of her picture matched Julian's perfectly. His eyes widened as jealousy flared up within him. He realized that the food pictured was not only made by Macie, but it was also served in her home. On top of that, Julian wasn't the only one there. Sean was there, too. Alice had commented that she wasn't there that night, which meant that the two men were alone with Macie. Those two men, whose intentions toward Macie were questionable, were alone in her home with her.The thought alone made him slam his soup bowl onto the table, causing the liquid to slosh an

A deep sense of helplessness washed over Edward after he hung up on his call with Nathan. He sat on the edge of his bed, staring blankly out the window into the late night.Macie had invited those two men over and even cooked a lavish meal for them. Naturally, he was jealous. He wished he could throw Julian and Sean into the sea just to keep them away from Macie. However, that was just a petty fantasy. In reality, there was nothing he could do. His mind drifted back to all the dishes in that picture Julian had posted. Each one looked familiar. He recognized them as dishes Macie used to make for him.He remembered how she would greet him with a smile whenever he came home, only to be met with his cold, cutting sarcasm. His hands, which were resting on his knees, curled into fists so tight that his knuckles turned white.Edward bit down on his lip, wishing for the hundredth time that he could go back in time and punch some sense into his past self. He had no one to blame but himse

Macie quickened her pace, puzzled as to why Alice's mother would want to see her. After all, they had never met before. The one time Alice had invited her over, Macie had casually said she'd visit someday, but she had never followed through. Still lost in thought, Macie made her way to the lobby. After hearing the sound of heels clicking against the floor, Diana turned around. Macie wasn't much different from the photos she had seen. In fact, she looked even more striking in person.Macie was dressed in a khaki professional skirt suit. Her makeup was light and natural, giving her a youthful and graceful appearance. She wasn't tall, but her slender frame and delicate features made her look charming and endearing. As Diana studied Macie, Macie did the same. Alice shared about 60% of her mother's looks, though their temperaments differed. Alice was radiant and lively, while Diana carried the poise and quiet elegance that only time could shape."Hello, Mrs. Hart," Macie greeted her p

"I'd like to hear what you really think, Mrs. Hart," Macie said calmly. "If it's truly just as you said earlier, then why didn't you want me to let Alice know? Besides, this is only our first meeting. I have a feeling there's more to this, and I'd prefer it if you'd be honest with me. After all, you're older than me, and you're also my friend's mother."Diana studied Macie carefully. She knew that anyone who could get into Arlington College had to be smart. Yet, there was something about Macie's perceptiveness and straightforward nature that she genuinely admired.So be it. There was no need to dance around the topic between two sharp women. The smile faded from Diana's lips as she revealed her true intention. She bluntly asked, "Did Sean have dinner at your place last night?"Macie met her gaze and nodded, quietly wondering what Diana really wanted to know."Are you and Sean close?" Diana inquired once more.After hearing that, Macie froze. She didn't know how to answer that, so

After lunch, Macie walked Diana to her car. Diana was about to say something when Macie tactfully beat her to it. "Please don't worry. I won't breathe a single word of what we talked about today. I won't tell Mr. Hart either. I'll slowly put some distance between us so he doesn't grow suspicious."Diana smiled faintly when she heard that. "I know you'll follow through. I wanted to express my gratitude for your cooperation. Setting aside the fact that you're my son's friend, I do genuinely admire you."Macie nodded. After Diana left, she hailed a ride back to Brightech Studios. …The conversation with Macie had gone smoothly. Diana found herself thinking again about Alice in her car. Alice and Sharon were constantly at odds. She didn't know how she was supposed to mediate between the two of them. She couldn't possibly expect Macie and Alice to have a falling out just so Alice would side with Sharon instead.If so, it would be extremely unfair to Macie. Despite her humble begin
