All Chapters of A Regret too Late: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Eleanor clutched her chest and stepped shakily out of her ward. "Are you really my fans, or are you just here to intentionally disturb me?"The group froze in surprise.Eleanor pointed at the painting in the front fan's hands with a disdainful expression. "That's not even my work!"Hearing this, Richard's face grew even darker. He picked up his phone and called the security downstairs. "Get over here. We have a situation."Maria wasn't interested in their drama and was just about to leave, but something caught her eye as she stopped. Glancing over, she saw that the fan who just wanted a signature was holding a painting. It was one of Robin's early works—a painting of a small Amaron town that had even won an award.Maria had been a fan of Robin for a long time and recognized it immediately. She had even tried to buy it once, but someone beat her to it. This piece was totally different from Robin's later works, so it was understandable that newer fans didn't recognize it.But Ele

Richard's expression turned cold as he walked to the door."Trent, what are you yelling so loudly for? Mari is still sleeping.""She has the nerve to sleep? After turning my whole family upside down? What do you mean, she's sleeping?!" Trent tried to barge into the room like an out-of-control madman.Richard tensed and shoved Trent back before quickly shutting the door behind him. "Quiet! Say another word about her, and I won't hold back!""You… You're still protecting her?" Trent stared at him in disbelief. "Do you even know what she has done? She has ruined my family! My dad's practically having a heart attack!"Inside, Maria slowly opened her eyes.Richard paused, remembering Maria had said she would handle Trent herself. Then, he asked calmly, "What happened?"Trent took a deep breath. As he gritted his teeth, he explained, "Haven't I told you? That years ago, I got involved with a woman, and she hid the fact that she was pregnant? Now she wants to bring the kid into my fa

"So, are you going to beg for him?" Maria asked. Her frosty eyes and ice-cold expression made Richard pause.He considered it for a moment, then said, "Trent will apologize to you on his knees. But as for whether he marries that woman or not, that's the Freemans' business. Best for us not to get involved."Maria clenched her fist and shot him a sneer. "What if I want to get involved?"Richard was stunned."This isn't up for discussion. No one gets to plead for Trent," Maria scoffed. "Or do you just sympathize with him? Do you really think women are that easy to fool and abandon? That they deserve to have children, but not even get recognized in the end?"Richard's brow furrowed, his gaze complicated. He sensed there was something more behind Maria's words. This was not just about Trent, but aimed at him too.Could it be…?No, Maria had never suspected their marriage certificate was fake. It couldn't be that.Richard glanced at Trent's awkward expression and finally dropped an

Outside Maria's ward, Eleanor twirled her hair around her finger, her eyes cold and sharp.After everything Maria had been through, she still wasn't dead. And she even had the energy to go shopping?Fine!Eleanor took out her phone and made a call as she walked away."Hello, Catelyn. Can you go shopping with me tomorrow to buy something for Richard?" Her voice was gentle and sweet as it trailed down the corridor.-The next day, Maria felt a little better after a night's rest. She was still weak and dizzy, but could at least move around on her own.Zack, worried, gave her one more body checkup and only let her leave after confirming she was fit to go out.Maria took a cab straight to the mall. At the luxury watch retailer, she slowly browsed the displays.A few salespersons were chatting, and none of them went to help after exchanging a glance with each other. When Maria realized none of the salespersons were approaching her, only then did she notice she was still wearing her

Maria caught her breath.Across from her, Eleanor's dazzling smile wasn't about getting the watch at all. It was about flaunting that Richard was now on her side.Maria's fingers curled tightly around the red card.She hadn't fought over anything in a long time.She hadn't called in any favors or pulled strings in ages.But standing here today… If this were just about some luxury item, Maria wouldn't have bothered with Eleanor. But this was a gift for her brother, her family. No matter how ugly the fight got, she wasn't backing down.Maria narrowed her eyes, turned away, and quietly took out her phone to send a message.The salespersons exchanged glances. They could already tell this watch was going to one of these two.Soon, the store phone rang.Eleanor grinned—she couldn't wait. "Pick it up! Your brand rep must be calling!"The saleswoman quickly answered. Her posture straightened as she spoke more respectfully in a moment. "You are the headquarters? Yes, of course, plea
