Semua Bab The Billionaire Regret After My Goodbye: Bab 241 - Bab 250

Kane strode out of the garden and through the foyer, his eyes briefly landing on Natalie amidst the crowd. A slight frown creased his brow, and he made a beeline for the front door.Just then, Fanny appeared seemingly out of nowhere, blocking his path."Fanny?" Kane looked at her, confused."Sir, do you have a moment to talk?" Fanny glanced toward Natalie, then lowered her head respectfully.Kane didn't object and followed her to a quiet alcove under an archway."Fanny, how have you been all these years?" Kane asked with genuine concern.Years ago, Natalie had insisted on marrying Fanny off, but not long after, Fanny's husband was in a fatal accident.Natalie had brought her back into the Wolfe household, and she'd been there ever since.Fanny had no children of her own, but she'd always been very fond of Kane, and he, in turn, considered her family and treated her with respect."I'm well, thank you, but the Ma'am... her

"I wasn't thinking anything," Aria said, turning her head away, holding her breath to avoid his familiar scent.Seeing her stubbornness, Kane sighed and gently ran his hand through her hair. "You're still saying you weren't? You've been giving me the cold shoulder since you woke up. Are you mad I came home late?" he asked, feigning surprise."I'm not that petty," Aria said, ignoring him and reaching for her phone, only to remember it was still on the living room sofa.Kane pulled her back, holding her tightly in his arms. "Tell me!"Aria pursed her lips, staring at him for a long moment before hesitantly asking, "Were you with Gabriella tonight?"At the mention of Gabriella, Kane instinctively frowned.Aria misunderstood his reaction and quickly looked away. "Never mind. Don't tell me.""I was with her," he said, pressing his forehead against hers. "But how did you know?"Aria felt a bit defensive. "I smelled her perfume on you

Even though Aria was acting like a diva, Kane happily rushed to her side, practically skipping as he carried her to the bathroom.Since she was too weak from their earlier activities, Kane took care of her every need during her morning routine. Aria stayed silent, her face a thundercloud.This continued until after breakfast. Kane, hoping to get back in her good graces, asked her to help him pick out an outfit."Whatever I pick, you'll wear it?" Aria asked, raising an eyebrow and giving him a side-eye.Kane nodded eagerly. "Of course. I'll love anything you choose."A mischievous gleam appeared in Aria's eyes. She happily opened his closet and began to meticulously select something. Kane watched her face, which went from excitement to disappointment, and smiled to himself. His closet was filled with suits in different colors and styles, but none of them were over the top. This meant her plan to embarrass him with his clothes was a lost cause.

"Eden, my mom is tougher to handle than you think," Kane said with a sigh. "The minute I bring up the engagement, she starts having heart problems. Even though I know she's faking it, how can I ignore it and risk her actually ending up in the hospital?"After his father's death, Kane and Natalie relied on each other. The situation had been rough back then, and if Natalie hadn't been there to hold everything together, Kane wouldn't have been able to take over the ATT Group so smoothly. Kane respected and loved his mother, but he found her stubbornness maddening.Eden understood Kane's predicament. "Now that Aunt Natalie is back, Gabriella is going to be by her side constantly, and Aunt Natalie will probably be completely under her thumb."Eden's comment gave Kane an idea. "So, you're saying I should also be with my mom?" he asked, frowning. After thinking it over, it seemed like the only viable option. But that meant he would have to face Gabriella every day. The

Kane frowned. Natalie gave him a sidelong glance, a slight smile on her lips.She figured even if he didn't like Gabriella now, after spending enough time together, he would eventually realize that Gabriella was the perfect woman for him.Natalie had been trying to figure out how to get Kane to spend more time with Gabriella. She was pleasantly surprised when Kane showed up on his own, claiming he was there to spend time with her.This was perfect. Regardless of his reason for being there, he and Gabriella were now spending more time together and could build their relationship.Natalie was happy to facilitate their time together, always helping Gabriella when she could.Kane turned and caught Natalie's smile, causing him to frown even more."No matter how you put it, she's a Jepson. Does she really have to be around all the time?" Kane was annoyed by how much time Natalie was spending with Gabriella.Natalie smiled. "I just got back t
