All Chapters of She Regrets Settling Down Too Early: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

I, Alexander Vaughn, and Kameron Lambert were financially independent.In the divorce agreement lying on my desk, the only thing I asked for was the marital home.I planned to talk about it after getting home.Elliot Gray walked in at the worst possible time."Mr. Vaughn, HR sent me to talk to you about updating my status to a full-time employee."The human resource department sent him to me because they couldn't decide between Kameron, the CEO, and me, the Vice President.I no longer gave him the cold shoulder like I used to, back when he hung around Kameron with questionable motives.I just calmly took the report. "You can leave now."However, Elliot planted himself firmly on the couch. "This office is so big. Mr. Vaughn, don't you think this will soon be my office?"He tapped the backrest of the couch, as if he were certain about it.Ignoring him, I called the security. "Have two of you come here. Someone's refusing to leave my office."When Elliot saw that I wasn't going

As I brought it up on my own, Ryder was beyond excited."You're up for the role? That's great! Alexander, you're an exceptionally rare talent when it comes to business development and management. If you're interested, I'll have them start arranging everything right away."The salary will be much better than what you're earning now. If Ms. Lambert doesn't want to let you go, I'll speak to her myself. How does that sound?"Ryder was a well-known business tycoon in this city, and his wife used to be one of my university professors.The overseas branch of Ryder’s company was on an upward trajectory but still faced limitations in cash flow and access to top-tier talent.So, Ryder had been trying to recruit me to help expand his business.Naturally, I'd turned him down.After all, my wife and I built Lambert Group together.It was like our child.Looking back, I was too fixated to think clearly. I shouldn't have been so set in my ways to have let go of such a great opportunity."Th

To avoid drawing attention, we left the company at different times.This time, Kameron really showed up.She adjusted her skirt slightly as she sat down and started chatting with me. "I came here once with a client and fell in love with it."The food was being served one by one.She proactively pushed her favorite seafood bisque in front of me. "This place makes an authentic Falmontian seafood bisque. Try it."Moments like this, when we were relaxed, were rare. In the past, if she had given me even this much attention, I would've been over the moon.Now, though, I just looked at the shellfish bisque I was allergic to, not touching it.Seeing I was unenthusiastic, she looked a little unhappy. "Why aren't you eating it?"It wasn't as if I had never told her I was allergic to this kind of ingredient.Once, I had even forced myself to eat it before just to please her, which ended up with me in the emergency room.Nonetheless, she'd forgotten all of that.Just as I was about to s

My work abroad was going smoothly.During the first three months, with limited energy, I intentionally ignored everything back home and focused on adjusting to the current pace of life.I barely even kept in touch with my friends.It wasn't until one day, during a video call with a friend, that I heard about some drama."You know, after getting the divorce papers you sent, Kameron was so furious she couldn't eat for days. She claimed she had no memory of ever signing the agreement. Yeah, right. As if anyone believes that. Wasn't she the one who couldn't wait to get divorced?"She even said HR let you go without permission and threatened to hold them accountable, but HR pulled out the resignation form with her signature on it, including your departure date and the proper procedures. She couldn't press the issue at all."I just laughed it off.To end things quickly, I had used a few tricks to break free, but I had never harmed her interests. The only thing involving shared assets

My gaze fell on Elliot's wrist.It was indeed wrapped in thick gauze.Well, he had just started living off a woman but had already lost her ticket to free meals.And yet, Kameron still told me she never crossed a line."Elliot, you'd better spend your time improving yourself. With your skills and body, you wouldn't even have managed to live off Kameron if you didn't look like her first love," I commented. When he heard that, Elliot turned vicious and snapped, "What did you say? First love? You're a pathetic loser. She doesn't even want you anymore, and you're still living in delusion."I look like her first love? Don't tell me you think you're her first love. Ha! As if! Who'd want to look like an old man like you?"Honestly, I felt sorry for him for not realizing that he was a substitute for someone else.Not wanting to waste another second, I turned to leave.Elliot suddenly went berserk as he lunged at me and grabbed my throat, catching me off guard."Die! If you're dead,
