All Chapters of Too Late to Regret: Chapter 291 - Chapter 300

Charlie glanced at the message.He smiled with his eyes relaxed, “It’s Marlene’s. Looks like your future mother-in-law has come to her senses.”Candice ignored the “future mother-in-law” comment.She took back her phone and said, “Don’t be so happy yet. Just because she invited me for dinner doesn’t mean she’s come to her senses. Maybe she wants to negotiate with me.”As she spoke, she bit her lip and muttered to herself, “Maybe she’ll offer me some money to leave her son. How much do you think she’ll give?”Charlie: “……”He stood up and lightly tapped her forehead. “Between money and me, you prefer money, huh?”Candice gave him a “don’t be ridiculous, who could compare to money?” expression, as if he was out of his mind.Then, she smiled shyly and poked his chest with one finger, &ld

Candice kept a cold expression on her face.She was doing her best to suppress her anger, not wanting to let a person who didn’t matter to her upset her.That was his grandmother, not hers. Why should she let an impolite old lady, whom she had just met, ruin her mood?"We’ll talk in the car."Charlie rubbed her shoulder and led her into the car.Rex glanced at the rearview mirror and silently started the engine.He reached over and pulled down the partition.The car started heading to the Clemens family estate.Inside the car, Candice sat silently, looking out the window, saying nothing.Charlie’s phone rang.He glanced at it, hung up, and turned off the phone.They drove for about ten minutes."Candice, can we talk now?" Charlie turned to her, looking at her profile.Candice didn’t say anything.Charlie paused for a few seconds, then said, "My grandmother has a

Candice smiled, but there was a genuine warmth to it this time.The second young miss sure knows how to talk.No one dislikes hearing compliments."Second young miss, you’re beautiful and sweet-tongued. I like you too, but relationships aren’t built solely on mutual liking. Sometimes, it just doesn’t work out, and if it doesn’t, I don’t want to force it. I won’t let myself suffer, nor will I make others unhappy."Her words were soft and sincere, but also… quite pessimistic.Though she spoke about liking, she was really referring to her relationship with Charlie.Everyone at the table fell into silence.Beatrice didn’t expect the girl to think so clearly. She had always assumed Candice would try everything to keep her son, even going as far as forcing him to take responsibility.But in fact, this girl, just as she had seen at the ball, was intelligent, clear-headed, and sincere. S

Once doubt arises in the mind, it cannot be left unchecked.Outside the Pharmacy.Candice got out of the car and walked straight into the pharmacy, heading to the counter."One box of...""Are you sick, Candice?"A voice suddenly came from behind.Candice almost jumped out of her skin. With remarkable composure, she managed to keep herself from panicking. She stood there as though frozen, feeling like she had been paralyzed by an invisible force."Miss, what kind of medicine would you like?"The pharmacist asked.Candice quickly regained her composure, smiling naturally. "One box of cold medicine."The pharmacist began to ask a series of detailed questions: "What are your symptoms? Do you have a fever? A sore throat? Headache? Nasal congestion?"—her questions came rapidly, even more thorough than the ones Candice’s own doctor had asked.To Candice, it sounded like a buzzing mosquito in her ears.

Kyle was furious after hearing this.“...You still want to stay? Wake up! Charlie and I are essentially the same. Don’t put him on a pedestal. Mrs. Clemens isn’t much more generous than my mother!”Candice felt a headache coming on as he ranted.She hung up the phone and sent him a message: Don’t forget tomorrow morning.Kyle, enraged, threw his phone onto the desk.Leaning back in his chair, he irritably loosened his tie, a heavy cloud of frustration visible on his face.Early the next morning.Candice woke up at five.She had pretended to be asleep last night, but in the end, she actually fell asleep. She vaguely remembered Charlie coming into the room once… but in fact, he came in and out of the room several times throughout the night.She put on her loungewear and stepped out of the room.She saw Jim in the kitchen, but Jerry hadn’t arrived yet. Everything was quiet.
