My Billionaire Ex's Biggest Regret のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

The initial sensation that Lilian experienced was one of relief.Waking up alone in bed gave her a dream-like calmness, as though breathing softly after the tension of waiting for the blow which never arrived, a long breath was drawn out. Her heart, which had been stimulated by runaway fragments of an elusive reality, was slowly settling. She glanced about the room, her thudding heart thudding just a mite harder, for the presence of a man by the door or the rustle of bedclothes rising behind her. But there isn't anyone. She is alone.She sat up slowly, a low moan escaping her lips as the pain in her head increased.That was only a dream, she told herself bitterly.It couldn't have been her bed that Chris was in, cradling her like treasure. It had to be the tablets. The mix of drugs that the hospital administered to her must have fueled that silly, morose hallucination.She hauled herself up and tried to stand, but had to reach out and clutch the nightstand to balance as the room tilte

Patricia stood in the doorway, tensed, with a duffel bag on the ground beside her. Doris, who was beside Lilian, looked confused, her eyes looking from one woman to the other."I never hired a nurse," Lilian declared firmly and quietly. Her crazy and unfazed eyes penetrated Patricia. "Therefore, if you are at the wrong house, which I doubt since you addressed me by my name, then this is a mistake or something different."Patricia's smile faltered slightly, but she remained calm. "Mr. Newton employed me and told me to report right away."A mocking laugh slipped out of Lilian's lips. "Of course he did," she whispered to herself rather than anyone else. Chris' nerve to barge into her life now after all these years was infuriating. Where was this concern in their marriage? Where was this assistance when she needed it most?"Sorry for the wasted time," she said, sinking a little onto the sofa, her attitude dismissive. "But you have to go, anyway."Patricia was calm, but there was a hint of

He noticed a stunning, thin woman with tight red clothing walking by, and her heels squeaked on the shiny floor. Her clothing hugged her body tightly, highlighting her thin legs and tight waist. She had a stunning green eye and smiled brightly as she slowly glanced at Kelvin with long brown locks of hair cascading down her shoulders. His heart beat faster than ever before for a moment as he stared at her in awe.He never once looked at another woman since he met his girlfriend Doris. His expression changed from a momentary look of guilt to pure excitement."Why am I feeling like this?" he pondered as a surge of fear engulfed him. He shook his head, trying to get the ideas away, but her seductive smile stuck in his head like a strong scent. After all, even married men did it; why shouldn’t he?The smooth walk of the woman past his office caught Kelvin's attention, well aware that she would be a fun night even on the streets. The thought slipped him through in a rush. Doris never would f

Kelvin's vehicle stopped next to a stylish black BMW, its glossy exterior mirroring the neon lights shimmering gently over the parking area. The other car, a blue sedan with tinted windows, remained silent and dominant beneath the dim light of a distant streetlamp. Two vehicles, two stories unknown to him, just like his own evening’s future.The attendant stepped out of his little booth, his white overalls dirty with oil and age. His weather-beaten and anxious face broke into a wise smile as he gestured for Max to park beside the empty spot next to the BMW."Will you take long, sir?" inquired the elderly man, casually propped against the car door in a way that left Kelvin feeling strangely vulnerable.Kelvin hesitated, feeling the tug of indecision gnawing at him again. "Maybe. Depends on if my friend happens to be around." His voice sounded strange in his ears, too cautious for someone supposedly meeting an ‘old friend.’The attendant’s smile widened, his eyes glinting in the faint l

Kelvin sat in the leather taxi seat as it rained and looked out at the harsh lights that were shining in through the window. The city was always just out of reach, he told himself, an endless film in his head. Evelyn's warm hand brought a sense of life to the streets tonight; they were alive. His evening was not normal for what he was doing, and that was the idea."Sugar, I have a crush on you," Evelyn whispered. Her voice was low in the darkness of the taxi.She slyly smiled and pounced on him with her perfume mixing with the subtle city aroma. "You are so refreshing; do you know that? You are not like the other men I've dated."Kelvin smiled, his thoughts ringing in his head. This was a temporary escape, a moment outside his predictable routine. The initial burden of guilt he felt had disappeared, replaced by the excitement of the unknown.They passed by a line of bright neon signs advertising baby food, and Kelvin stole a quick look at Evelyn. She had a teasing aura about her that
