A Regret too Late のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 521 - チャプター 530

Seeing the look on Maria's face, Eleanor found it even more amusing. "Fine, Maria. We've been dealing with each other for so long. Do you really think I don't know what you're thinking? I wouldn't use this to make fun of you."Leaning against the table, Eleanor went on, "You keep saying you don't care, but deep down you still care a lot about the two of them. There's nothing shameful about that. He's the husband you've lived with for years after all, and that's the boy you've raised yourself all this time. It's perfectly normal to feel this way."Maria watched Eleanor acting like she had everything figured out and raised an eyebrow. "What I'm telling you is that you can't control their lives or their thoughts. If they decide to take my side completely and stay with me, no one will be able to stop it. Understand? So my advice is that you need to let go a little on this at least. Otherwise, you're going to lead a miserable life."Maria gave Eleanor's fake kindness a cold gaze and

Eleanor looked at Richard's reaction. She let out a helpless sigh and walked slowly to him. "I didn't expect you and Maria to fall out. Are you alright...?""Since when is that your business? Get as far away from me as you can! All of this is because of you!" Richard threw the words at her and stormed off without looking back.Watching him disappear at the cafe entrance, Eleanor smiled a knowing smile to herself. She muttered under her breath, "What's this…? I thought you were so serious about winning her back. So this is all there is after all."When she lowered her head, she noticed Jonathan's face looked a little off. She raised a brow, puzzled. "What's wrong, Jonny? Are you upset because you saw them arguing?"Jonathan snapped out of it and looked up at her. He shook his head and forced a smile. "Eleanor, can I go and talk to Dad for a bit?""Of course you can. Go ahead, but be careful. He's angry right now, so don't set him off," Eleanor said. She waved her hand, signaling

Cameron realized at once how much his suspicion had shaken Maria. He felt really bad about it and couldn't help but say, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I... I shouldn't have doubted you..."He grew flustered, stumbling over his words.Maria had no idea what to say. Her mind was a total wreck. She took a deep breath. "Forget it. I don't want to talk to you about anything right now. I just want to go home, get some rest, and think about how to make my next move against Eleanor."She kept her eyes on the road ahead and stopped paying attention to Cameron. He had no choice but to hit the gas and drive her home. When they reached her home, he turned and caught her hand. "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I'm just really scared of losing you. Please don't be mad at me, alright?"Maria sighed and looked back at him, something complicated in her eyes. "We're already engaged. The key to a relationship is accepting each other. You have to trust me.""Alright, of course I trust you. Don't wo

After a long silence, Cameron still could not accept Maria's suggestion to break up. He gave a bitter smile and said, "So what you mean is, you are set on breaking up with me, no matter how I feel. Is there no room to talk about it at all?"Maria looked at him and answered quietly, "Sorry, but no.""I don't want to force you. I just want to know, will there still be any chance for us to be together again after we break up?" Cameron stared at her, refusing to let things rest without an answer.Maria stayed quiet for a while before she finally spoke. "If I have handled everything by then, we can be together again."Seeing how unsure she looked, Cameron smiled at himself. "So, I'm just a backup in your life. When you feel like you need a relationship, you keep me close. When you do not, you tuck me away."Maria felt a heavy weight in her chest, but she had nothing to say to him. She had never wanted to hurt Cameron, yet she had no way to deny it when this was exactly what it looked

On the morning of the third day, someone knocked at the front door.Mr. Carson went to answer it. A moment later, he rushed upstairs as if he had seen a monster. "Miss! Please come downstairs at once! Someone's here to see you!"Startled by his shouting, Maria went down, more curious than anything. Only then did she see who was waiting in the living room.It was Janet.Maria literally rubbed her eyes, wondering if she was still half asleep and imagining it. "Mrs. Lane? What are you doing here?"The moment Janet saw her, she moved like someone who had just discovered her savior. She hurried over and held Maria's hand. "Mari! I finally found you."Maria widened her eyes and could not help glancing at Mr. Carson. Janet had always been cold and dismissive toward her. She suddenly became very emotional, as if they had been close for a long time.Maria had nothing to say to this woman and couldn't force herself to act warm. She quietly pulled her hand back and gestured toward the
