Lahat ng Kabanata ng Regrets Come Too Late: Kabanata 111 - Kabanata 120

John was going to leave, making it clear he had no intention of staying.Eagon watched him leave, a whirlwind of thoughts in his mind. When John reached the doorway, Eagon called out, "Wait."John paused. He turned around, waiting for what Eagon wanted to say."About Gabrielle," Eagon asked. "Do you just have a lead? Or do you have concrete information?"The careless, lazy look was gone from his eyes. All that remained was weight and seriousness."Concrete information," John replied slowly and surely. "Including, but not limited to, her current job, address, and identity."Eagon's fists, hanging at his sides, tightened slightly.Seeing the struggle and hesitation, John went on, "To show my sincerity, I can give you one piece of information."Emotion flickered in Eagon's gaze. "What's that?""She's about to get engaged." He watched every reaction on Eagon's face when he said that.Eagon's heart skipped a beat. The words were out of his mouth before he could even think. "That's

John froze. "Who was it?""Holly Sanders's father." Pamela watched John's face, worried she would see disgust or rejection there. "Jason Sanders."John raised his eyes, gaze settling on her.Pamela's fingers locked together. "That's what my mom told me."He was surprised for a moment, then his expression went calm again as he asked rationally, "Does he know you exist?""He doesn't." Pamela thought of what he had told her before and decided to tell him everything. "When he found out my mom was pregnant, he gave her a lot of money to get an abortion. My mom said a fetus is a life too, and hid it from him. She never went for the abortion."In truth, it had nothing to do with cherishing life.She had simply seen how generous Jason Sanders was. He had tossed out a hundred thousand dollars just for an abortion. Clearly, he wasn't someone ordinary. She wanted to keep the baby as her hope for the future, a chance to rise through her daughter one day.Later, she found out that Jason had

When Holly came downstairs, Jason kept giving her looks, telling her to stay in her room.However, Holly was born with a rebellious spirit. She wouldn't be her if she acted so obediently. She sat down right beside Jason, and faced John and Pamela across the coffee table."Holly," Pamela said in a deliberately sweet tone. "No, I should call you sister now. Back in college, Sierra always talked about you. She said you were loyal and her best friend.""I'm not related to the daughter of a homewrecker." Holly picked up an apple and took a bite.Pamela's expression changed at once. She wasn't expecting Holly to be this blunt in front of John."Genes really are something." Holly took another bite, crossing one leg over the other in a relaxed manner. "Your mom's a homewrecker, and you're a homewrecker too. You're definitely from the same family.""I'm now your..." Pamela started, but she didn't have a chance to finish when Holly simply shifted her eyes to her own father.Holly didn't b

"If you told me firmly that you would never forgive him, I might actually start to doubt it," Holly joked.All the good memories from the past five years weren't something that could be erased so easily. Not to mention, Sierra was someone who took her emotions deeply."If I said I'd never forgive him firmly, it was only a way to remind myself of it," Sierra answered calmly. "Or maybe just a way to lie to myself."Holly felt at ease now.After Sierra got through this cooling-off period, she would help Holly take off to somewhere else. If John tried to interfere again by then, she could call the police on him with a clear conscience since they were no longer husband and wife.After talking for a while, they each went back to their own lives.Holly kept bickering with Jason, while Sierra used her free time to work on her freelance illustrations.The weekend passed just like that.In the past, Sierra used to stay at home every day. She never felt the weekend could pass her by so qu

After that little episode, Sierra focused on her work. Once she concentrated, she would forget anything unhappy for a while. She only snapped out of it when Jenny told her it was lunchtime."Let's go." Jenny's voice was calm.Her outfit was always made from the simplest colors and style. She herself was as simple and minimalistic as her name.Sierra was stunned for a moment.Jenny then casually said, "Let's grab lunch. I want to talk to you about something."Sierra agreed and followed Jenny. She was used to eating alone after finishing her tasks, so having someone with her felt a little unfamiliar.They went to a small place across the street from the company and sat facing each other before ordering something."You don't get along with Ms. Sanders?" Jenny asked bluntly.Sierra did not hide it. "No."Jenny poured Sierra a cup of tea and passed it over. "Ms. Sanders is now Mr. Henderson's secretary. All of our work has to go through her. Don't make it too obvious unless you hav
