All Chapters of Regret After Divorce: Chapter 261 - Chapter 270

Author’s POV:The online buzz continued.Following Everett’s announcement, members of the Taylor family also posted updates on their personal Twitter accounts. Their messages were largely consistent: they acknowledged Scarlett’s identity and explained that she had always chosen to keep it private. As her family, they respected her decision, and this disclosure was made only out of necessity.The most forceful statement came from Mason. He declared that since his daughter’s identity was now public, starting today he would personally track down every malicious marketing account and private profile that had slandered her.This declaration sent trolls and marketing accounts into collective panic. They frantically deleted past posts overnight, and some—fearing they couldn’t erase everything fast enough—simply deleted their accounts altogether.This pathetic, cowardly scramble had Scarlett’s fans laughing hysterically.Soon after, an industry insider exposed Sophia’s relationship with David

Scarlett’s POV:Everett was… worried about me?I thought I must have misheard.He had given me the cold shoulder for over two months—how could he possibly care about me now?But I knew Davis wouldn’t lie to me.“I’m at the taxi stand outside,” I said as I stood up. “Tell him not to look for me. I can go back on my own…”“President is already on his way. Madam, please stay right where you are!”Everett had actually come looking for me?I felt dazed, clutching my phone, momentarily at a loss for words.Just then, hurried footsteps approached from behind.A second later, I fell into a familiar embrace.His strong arms wrapped tightly around me, his warm chest pressed against my face.I froze, but the scent on him made it unmistakable—the man holding me was Everett…But why had his attitude changed so drastically all of a sudden?“Scarlett, I’m sorry.”He kept his head bowed, burying his face in my neck as he repeated the apology over and over.I listened to his almost desperate apologies

Scarlett’s POV:At the entrance, I bent down to retrieve my shoes, but Everett crouched before I could.His long fingers untied my shoelaces. “I’ll handle things like this from now on.”I stared at him in disbelief, my eyes widening.This time, I truly couldn’t maintain any composure.“What… what’s wrong with you?” I pulled my foot back, avoiding his large hand, my heart pounding. “Everett, tell me… was my report actually correct? Did you have the doctor collude with you later to fabricate the results to protect me? Am I actually dying?”After much deliberation, this seemed like the only plausible explanation.Because if I really had cancer and didn’t have much time left… then my husband, consumed by guilt, would surely treat me well during my remaining days.Everett clearly hadn’t expected me to think this way. He stood up and let out a soft sigh. “The report is really fine. I know you’re not used to me suddenly treating you like this, but I’ll explain everything.”“Change into your

Scarlett’s POV:I had been furious a moment ago, but Everett’s sudden, desperate plea left me stunned.I couldn’t shake the feeling that today’s Everett was different from the man I knew.I furrowed my brows, studying him carefully.Could a single dream really change him this much?“What do you mean by your dream where I left?”“It was a dream where you were disappointed in me… and rejected me.” His hand trembled slightly as he held mine. “Scarlett, I was too slow to realize things before. I didn’t know how to express myself, but that dream made me see my own heart clearly. I love you. I truly love you.”“…”This was a side of Everett I had never seen before.A single dream brought about such a profound change?Looking at the man kneeling before me, I couldn’t help but feel he wasn’t being entirely truthful.From the very beginning, this love had been entirely one-sided.Throughout all three years of our secret marriage, every step closer between us had been initiated by me.To say I

Scarlett’s POV:My biological clock was set in stone—I woke up at seven o’clock sharp every morning.My mind was still foggy as I lay in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling for a moment.Five minutes later, I stretched lazily, rubbed my eyes, and sat up.I had slept reasonably well that night… strictly speaking, it was the best sleep I’d had in over two months.Pulling back the covers, I stepped out of bed and walked into the bathroom.After washing up, I applied skincare products and put on simple, light makeup. Just as I picked up the comb, something suddenly occurred to me, and I set it back down.In the past, I had always followed Everett’s instructions—wearing only a uniform to work, my hair tied in a ponytail, black-rimmed glasses… stiff and uninspired.I had finally come to terms with it.No matter how much I loved Everett, I couldn’t lose myself for love.From today onward, I would gradually reclaim myself… the confident, capable woman I once was.As for Everett, I would let t
