All Chapters of Regrets Come Too Late: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Sierra Bell didn't know if all men wanted a loving wife at home while chasing after other women outside. But if her husband was the one who tried that on her, she wasn't about to let it slide.Everyone in Jade City knew that Sierra, once the heiress of a wealthy family, was the apple of John Henderson's eye, who was also the second son of the powerful Henderson family. He gave her whatever she wanted.He would make whatever she dreamed of happen.Their home overflowed with limited-edition pieces from every major brand. Jewelry, handbags, and watches lined up on the walls. The garage was packed with so many sports cars that one would have a problem choosing.Even at parties, John never left her side, always holding her hand like he was afraid she might get hurt or feel slighted.Everyone envied her for being so cherished.Even Sierra herself almost believed John truly loved her."Mom?" Her little boy Tommy, still looking half-asleep and sweet, rubbed his eyes and asked in a sof

John was still wearing the same custom gray suit from the divorce office that morning, sitting lazily on the couch with a cold, distant air. Even as he chatted idly with the doctor, it was clear that the divorce didn't bother him at all.When Sierra walked in, John glanced at her. Her hands clenched at her sides, her eyes full of obvious dislike and contempt."You're here," the doctor greeted simply.Sierra looked away. "Yeah.""We already went over the details on the phone. Here's a breakdown of the monthly charges. If everything looks good, just fill out your info and sign." He handed her the list.Sierra took it.Her heart sank at the numbers. Each month's medical bill was in the hundreds of thousands. If her father hadn't taken all her pre-marital savings, she might have managed for a few more months. Now, with nothing left, there was no way she could cover that kind of expense."If that's too much, here are some alternative plans," the doctor added, handing her another docu

Sierra felt her heart shatter. Lips pressed together, she asked John, "Do you really have to be this ruthless and corner me?""I just want you to understand this. Without me, your life is going to be a mess." John walked over and looked down at her. "Of course, if you're that desperate to sell something to get by, you can always ask Pamela for permission."Pamela pointed to herself. "Me?""You're the lady of the house now. What happens to these things is up to you," John said, but his gaze stayed on Sierra, making it clear. If she refused to play along, someone else would take her place.Sierra's hands clutched into tight fists as she was engulfed in a wave of humiliation."If Sierra just wants something to remember us by, that's fine," Pamela added, fanning the flames. "But if it's just to sell for cash, it's like cheapening all the love she got. If it were me, I could never do that, no matter how broke I was."John looked at Sierra. "Did you hear that?"Her only answer was t

Tommy glanced around the room, and his gaze finally landed on the suitcase in Sierra's hand. In his soft but earnest voice, he asked, "Mommy, why do you have a suitcase?"Sierra opened her mouth, but couldn't come up with a reasonable answer."It's for me," John cut in, crouching down so he was eye-level with Tommy. "Daddy has to go on a business trip for a few days. While I'm gone, you have to be a good boy and listen to Mommy, alright?"Tommy nodded. "Okay."John ruffled his hair. "Good boy."Tommy looked over at Pamela. "Who's her?""She's Daddy's secretary," John lied without a hint of hesitation. "She's coming with me on the trip."Sierra's hand unconsciously tightened on the suitcase handle, but she didn't let any emotion show on her face.John stood up and walked over, naturally taking the suitcase from her hands. Then, just like always, he pressed a kiss to her lips, his tone gentle and soft. "I'm leaving now. If you miss me, just call, okay?"Sierra forced herself not

When John said that, Sierra shook for a moment.Right then, she finally saw him for who he was. She realized that ever since they had filed for divorce, they were nothing but strangers.The heaviness in her chest suddenly disappeared without a trace.She reset her expression, her voice becoming distant suddenly. "I'm not anyone important, but if you'd just returned my things from the start, none of this would've happened.""It's just a suitcase. Do you really think John would want your things?" Pamela chimed in, defending John."He wouldn't," Sierra replied. When she looked at the two of them, there was no more anger or pain in her eyes, as if she had drained all her emotions from herself at once. "But I don't want my suitcase getting contaminated in this place."John's eyes darkened.Sierra's tone stayed flat. "Just give me my things, and I'll leave."She had finally let go—let go of John's sudden indifference and accept that he was now devoted to someone else."Tommy saw me
