Regret After Divorce のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Scarlett’s POV:I had already mentally prepared myself for running into Everett when I came back to Los Angeles, but I didn’t expect it to happen this soon.The second he walked in, I could feel his eyes pinned on me. It wasn't very pleasant, but I managed to keep my cool expression perfectly in place.I kept reminding myself it’s all in the past. This trip home was for work. Nothing—and no one—should mess with that.“Mr. Robinson, please have a seat,” Uncle Robert greeted him warmly, and he sat opposite me.But seeing him and Amelia show their affection made me lose my appetite. I excused myself with a few polite words and left the room.I walked fast, the clicks of my high heels echoing across the marble floor like a ticking clock.Each step matched the frantic beating of my heart.If someone listened closely, they might have noticed how shaky those sounds were.I thought two months would be enough time to dull everything, to stop myself from caring… but it seems not.Love might onl

Everett’s POVI stood there, eyes narrowing as I watched the car vanish into the night, the air around me growing heavy with tension.Davis hurried over, speaking cautiously. “Mr. Robinson, should we send someone after Mrs. Robinson?”“Have someone follow her,” I ordered, my tone as cold as ever. “Keep eyes on her around the clock. Don’t let her notice, and report anything unusual immediately.”He gave a small nod. “Understood.”I let out a long sigh, pinching the bridge of my nose before turning back toward the hotel.As soon as I stepped into the private home, Robert was the first to rise, clearly surprised and pleased to see me.“Mr. Robinson.” He quickly stepped forward to greet me.After exchanging a few polite words with Robert, I sat back down in my original spot next to Amelia.“Hey, Everett, your stomach still isn’t well. You should stick to juice,” Amelia said as she handed me a glass, her tone easy—like it was something only someone close would do. The gesture looked almost

Wyatt’s POVHearing how firm she was, I finally realized this thing between her and Everett was far from a clean break.I’d watched Scarlett grow up. I knew she was never one to just take things lying down.How could she marry and divorce someone with barely a peep?It didn’t sit right with me, especially knowing how the Taylor family operates.“Scarlett, be real with me. Do your parents know?”A forced laugh came from the other end of the line. “I just told them it didn’t work out. You know how my dad and brothers are. I don’t want this to turn into something bigger.”I hesitated for a moment. “But—”“Uncle Robert,” she interrupted gently, “there’s no need to talk me out of it. There’s too much history between Everett and me for a quick fix. Bottom line, I was young and dumb, fell for the wrong guy, and now I’m owning that mistake.”After a pause, I asked quietly, “Do you hate him now?”Scarlett didn’t answer right away.I didn’t press her either.After a few minutes, she finally spo

Scarlett’s POVI jolted awake to the sound of my phone buzzing. Groggily, I answered.“Scarlett, are you still asleep?”Rubbing my eyes, I glanced at the clock. It was already nine in the morning.I yawned and cleared my throat. “Nope. I’m up now.”“Good. I was worried I’d disturbed you.”“It’s fine, Uncle Robert. What’s going on?”“Nothing major. Just heard from Davis—he said Mr. Robinson agreed to pull out of the project.”I froze.Everett Robinson actually agreed?I’d really hoped he’d back out of the film, but knowing him, he wasn’t the kind of guy to give up easily. Besides, if I was right, the whole reason he invested in the movie was because of that intergalactic online game his company planned to roll out next year. The theme matched too perfectly—it was practically built for promo.I’d even sat in on a few development meetings. Everett took the project seriously.So yeah… convincing him to drop out shouldn’t have been this easy. But apparently, he’d just gone and done it. Tha

Everett’s POVAfter the car accident, Amelia left the country too. As far as I was concerned, whatever we had was completely over back then.If it weren’t for Aunt Maria falling ill this time, Amelia and I probably wouldn’t have spoken again.The more I thought about it, the more I figured Scarlett’s coldness had to do with the rumors about me and Amelia.If that’s all it took, then a simple explanation should clear the air.Taking a deep breath, I softened my tone. “Scarlett, about me and Amelia, it’s—”“Scarlett!”A loud, excited voice cut me off.I frowned and turned around, only to see a tall man striding in, arms wide as he rushed toward Scarlett.Shock rooted me in place as I watched Scarlett step right into his embrace. My chest tightened, and my expression darkened instantly.“Scarlett Taylor!” I growled, my voice low and dangerous. “Do I not exist to you anymore?”But she barely spared me a glance. Unfazed, she lifted her arms and wrapped them around him, hugging him back rig
