All Chapters of A Regret too Late: Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

Richard glared at Calvin coldly. "What does that have to do with you?"Calvin raised an eyebrow, looking completely unhurried. "My point is, she doesn't want to see you. She's hiding so you can't find her. If you keep trying, aren't you just disturbing her? If you really care about her, you should let her go."Richard clenched his fists. He wanted to explain himself, but instinctively swallowed it down. He really didn't want to waste time saying anything more to Calvin.He turned away, refusing to engage, a hint of coldness in his eyes. "I have my own way of doing things. I don't need to explain anything to you."Calvin watched his back, but in the end, still handed him a business card. "Alright. Since you've given me what I wanted, I'll give you what you want as well. The address on this card is for Willow Brooks's jewelry company, Brooks Jewelry."With that, Calvin went back upstairs.Richard frowned, holding the card tightly.Trent immediately stepped forward and glanced

"Richard!" Catelyn's eyes were red. She was no longer wearing designer brands or carrying her crocodile leather bag. She walked in with eyes welled with tears, her voice choked. "Are you really taking Jonny out of the country? He's still so young… He can't handle all that right now."Richard glanced at her coldly. "Jonathan is stronger than you think. Besides, we've already cut ties with you. You're not my aunt anymore, Catelyn. You're also not his grandaunt. You have no right to interfere with my business."Catelyn's heart ached at his words. She took a shaky breath and said, "I admit what I did to Maria was wrong, but I was only doing what your grandmother wanted by getting you together with Eleanor. Was that really such a grave mistake?""I'm not going to argue about this with you. Grandma's gone, so don't use her as an excuse. Even if she's still alive, I don't believe she'd just stand by and watch my son be kept from his real mother," Richard said as he stepped forward, h

"What… What are you up to, sir?" the driver asked nervously.Richard shot him a look. "You're being paid to drive, so just do your job. This won't cause you any trouble. Drive."The driver fell silent, gripping the steering wheel and doing as told. Meanwhile, Richard kept his eyes locked on the car ahead.Eventually, Willow's car stopped in front of a manor. Richard signaled the driver not to get too close.Willow got out and said a few words to Elwyn. Only after watching the car leave did he open the door. Then, a figure appeared at the door to greet him.It was only a quick glimpse, but Richard saw the woman's face clearly. It was Maria!Finally, he had found Maria again!Richard's eyes turned red as he got out and took a step forward, but the manor's door was already closed. He only managed to get one look.Richard stopped in his tracks, frozen."Dad, isn't that Mom? Does Mom live here?" Jonathan hurried to catch up, looking up at Richard with hope in his eyes.Richard w

The music began to grow heavy, as if weighed down by sorrow. Then, the tempo picked up all of a sudden, as if it were fighting for a breakthrough.It was like seeds hidden beneath the snow. The moment the time was right, they would burst forth, brimming with new life even in the deepest winter.The piece ended.Thunderous applause filled the concert hall.Maria felt something deep inside her stir. She opened her eyes and looked to the stage, only to see Frena smiling at her, giving a gentle nod.In that instant, Maria understood.She understood why her teacher's style had changed so much. Why her music now carried such a sensation of refusing to submit to the whims of fate.Frena had already recognized Maria. She knew Maria would be here. She knew what Maria was going through, and she was using her music to encourage Maria.Maria almost choked with tears as she walked up on stage to present a bouquet of flowers without even thinking.Frena accepted the bouquet and pulled Maria

Maria blinked and shook off the uneasy feeling. She then went into the restaurant for dinner together with Willow and Frena.Downstairs from the restaurant, a figure quietly slipped out from the shadows.Richard's expression was mixed. He still hadn't recovered from learning that Maria had once been a great cellist. Only now did he realize that he had never truly tried to understand Maria's life before him despite being together for seven years.After just a day and a night in Norland, he could already feel the enormous differences between life here and the one back in Sidonia. How long had it taken Maria to adapt when she chose to be with him?She had never talked and complained about it. She just kept giving, quietly staying by his side. He had always claimed to love her, but never once had he loved her in the way she needed.Richard closed his eyes as he clutched his aching chest, his fist clenched, before turning away.-After dinner, Maria said goodbye to Frena.On the w
