The Billionaire Regret After My Goodbye のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 171 - チャプター 180

Kane's POVI sat on the couch, drumming my fingers against the armrest, the image of Aria knocking the food to the floor playing in my mind on an endless loop.That bowl of food—I made it just for her. I'd even gone out of my way to season it the way she used to love. But instead of even tasting it, she dumped the whole thing right in front of me.I was genuinely angry. But once the anger faded, it was replaced by something worse—confusion.Why was she so distant now? Why did she look at me like she didn't trust me at all?Gabriella's face suddenly flashed through my mind.Even before Aria left New York, she was acting strange. I'd suspected back then that Gabriella had said something to her. And now, thinking back, it might have been more complicated than I realized.The day Gabriella caused that scene at the hospital—Aria's whole demeanor changed. She didn't say anything, but I knew she took every word to heart. Maybe it wasn't just what Gabriella said… maybe it was the fact that Ga

Curled up on the couch, Aria couldn't bring herself to return to the bedroom filled with Kane's scent.Suddenly, the landline rang. The sharp sound pierced the silence, making her flinch."Hello?" she answered hesitantly."Hi, is this Kane's residence?" A strange male voice came through the line.Aria frowned. "Yes. Who's calling?"It was rare for the landline to ring—if it did, it usually meant something urgent related to Kane."I have a business proposal for Kane," the man explained. "Tried calling his cell but got no answer. His assistant at the office gave me this number." There was a brief pause before the man added, sounding cheerful, "You must be Gabriella, his fiancée, right? We met at that gala a while back—I'm Rod, from RO Group. Do you remember me?"Aria's face went pale.His fiancée.There it was again—fiancée.Rod's words echoed in her mind like a storm. Kane's fiancée. Gabriella.Aria slammed the phone down with a loud clack.She wasn't Gabriella. She was just the woman

Rod stormed out of ATTA Group's headquarters, fuming, and nearly collided with Gabriella, who had just returned."Rod? You're Rod from RO Group, right?" Gabriella recognized him immediately and noticed his sour expression. She couldn't help but ask, "Who pissed you off this badly?"Rod snorted when he saw her and shot a cold glance back at the ATTA building."Gabriella sure picked herself a fine fiancé." Because of Kane, even Gabriella annoyed him now.Gabriella quickly caught on. "Come on, Rod. Don't be mad. Why don't you tell me what happened? Maybe there's still a way to fix things."Rod gave her a mocking look. "You want to stand up for me, Gabriella?"Gabriella didn't fully grasp his tone, but before she could ask, Rod added, "Save it. Maybe when you actually become Mrs. Wolfe, then we'll talk."With that, he turned to leave. But Gabriella grabbed his arm."What's that supposed to mean? Everyone knows Kane and I are engaged. We're getting married, period."Rod glanced around, the

Aria had just stepped out the door when Kane jumped off the bed and hid behind it. Only when he saw her really go into the kitchen did he crawl back onto the bed and pull the thin blanket over himself.His stomach still hurt, but after taking medicine, it was gradually easing, not nearly as painful as before.Seeing him in discomfort, Aria had used that way to feed him medicine, which unexpectedly reminded Kane of a "playing cute" tactic.But surprisingly, it worked well.Compared to Aria's resistance a few days ago, now she was still a bit awkward, but at least she would go along with him.Kane couldn't help but smile proudly.He was absolutely confident that with a little more time, Aria would come to understand his feelings for her.In the kitchen, while cooking porridge, Aria's mind involuntarily replayed how Kane had taken care of her these past couple of days.He was right — he really did take care of her wholeheartedly. Even if she lost her temper or he got upset, in the end, h

After dinner, Aria's phone rang, and Kane volunteered to wash the dishes.She stepped out onto the bedroom balcony before answering the call."Mom, you're back!" she greeted cheerfully. Based on the time, her parents should've returned from their trip by now.Elena's voice was bright with excitement. "Yes, we just got in. We brought you lots of gifts—when are you coming home to pick them up?""I'm sorry, Mom," Aria said, biting her lip. "I'd planned to pick you up at the airport, but something came up at work. I can't make it back right now." It was a lie, one she had to tell.She wasn't ready to go home yet. Her parents might notice something was off. And Kane was right—her arm still hadn't fully healed. Raising her left arm too high sent a sharp pain through her shoulder.If her parents saw that and started asking questions, Aria had no idea how she'd explain it."Oh, I see." Elena couldn't hide her d
