A Regret too Late のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 671 - チャプター 679

Maria chose to stay silent. Instead, she left the decision to her brother without hesitation.Meanwhile, Willow thought to himself, 'Forget it... It's just one meal. For Mari's sake, and because this little brat still calls me Uncle Willow... I suppose I'm just feeding two strays…"In the end, he glared at the father and son standing there, who worked well together, and scratched his head hard. He held back all the mean things he wanted to say and barely managed to ask a strained question as he gritted his teeth. "...What exactly do the two of you want here?"His voice was still full of hostility and caution, but everyone could hear the difference.He was already giving in.The moment Richard heard Willow stop trying to throw them out and start asking for an explanation, he knew he had an opening. He immediately stepped in with the most sincere and harmless look he could manage. He made himself look like someone with good intentions who was misunderstood."Will," he called ag

Richard carefully washed and prepped the fresh ingredients he had bought in the Brooks family's spacious, sunlit kitchen that was filled with the warmth of everyday life.He had taken off his expensive tailored suit jacket and wore only a white shirt. His sleeves were rolled neatly to his forearms, showing the clean lines of his strong muscle. Around his waist was the pink apron Maria used to wear, printed with little strawberries. It looked out of place against his usual image as the cold, decisive head of a corporate empire.There was still some awkwardness with his movements, but his expression was more focused and serious than ever. It was as if what he held in his hands was not a simple rack of ribs, but the most important contract of his life, one that would decide the rest of his future.Maria sat on the soft couch in the living room. She did not start practicing on her cello right away. She simply held a pillow in her arms and, against her will, let her eyes move toward th

Despite the worry in their hearts, everyone's eyes turned to the door at once.Mr. Carson also mumbled to himself in confusion as he walked to the door, "Who can it be at this hour?"Cameron was standing outside, holding a bouquet of sunflowers as bright as sunshine, a calm, gentle smile on his face.The moment Maria saw him, there was surprise in her eyes. There was even a trace of guilt she could not quite hide. "Cameron? Why are you here?"The moment Willow saw Cameron, the gloom on his face vanished, as if he had just seen one of his own. He walked over warmly and even gave Cameron an affectionate pat on the shoulder. "Cameron! Come in, come in! Perfect timing, you're just in time for dinner. You haven't eaten yet, right?"Cameron walked in and handed the bright bouquet of sunflowers to Maria first. He looked at her with a gentle smile, then explained why he had come over. "I heard you're holding your own charity concert, Mari. It just so happens that I own a few private c

Things were extremely tense at the Brooks residence's dining room. The expensive redwood table was filled with dishes rich in color and aroma, all made by Richard himself. Yet at that moment, not one person at the table had much of an appetite.Richard sat at one end of the table with a dark look on his face. His eyes fixed on Cameron and Maria across from him, the two of them chatting idly.Maria had her head lowered as she quietly discussed something with Cameron. Cameron had a gentle, attentive smile on his face. He even reached out and naturally tucked a loose strand of hair behind Maria's ear.That unspoken understanding between them made the gesture feel so natural and intimate.Richard felt the jealousy inside him explode completely, swallowing every logic in his mind. He couldn't take it anymore.Bang!He suddenly slammed down the fork and knife in his hands. The utensils hit the table with a grating sound.The dining room went silent at once as everyone looked at him.

Maria, Willow, and Jonathan moved into the living room with their bowls of soup in their hands and sat around the coffee table to continue with their unfinished meal.That left Richard and Cameron alone in the dining room, staring at each other in an awkward silence. The redwood table was still filled with the unfinished dinner, but now it looked like a deserted stage. The two of them were like the ridiculous clowns left behind after the audience was already gone.In the end, Cameron was the first to break the silence.Without giving the furious Richard another glance, he picked up his briefcase and followed the other three into the living room. There was not the slightest embarrassment on his face. He still wore the same gentle, composed smile, as if the childish argument a moment ago had never happened.He walked to Maria, who was sitting on the carpet and eating her soup in small mouthfuls, then took out the revised composition from his briefcase again, the one their argument
