All Chapters of This Life, Their Regret Is My Justice: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

A sweet, childish voice rang out, and the iron grip on my throat vanished in an instant.I collapsed to the floor like a kicked stray, gulping down air in ragged breaths.Terence, whose eyes had burned crimson with fury just moments ago, softened the second he heard Ryan call out "Daddy".He gathered every bit of strength to scoop up Ryan, who'd barreled into his arms like a cannonball, holding him as if he were a long-lost treasure.His hands trembled as he murmured the name over and over. "Ricky… Ricky…"It was the kind of act that could melt any heart, except mine. I kept my expression ice-cold, refusing to spare them even a glance.If I weren't living this life for the second time, the crushing guilt would have driven me to beg for death. After all, I was the culprit who'd killed my son and shattered my husband's mind with unbearable grief.Wendy noticed my cold expression and spoke up, her voice tentative."Rosalie, I had Ryan call Terence 'Daddy' for your sake.

At the guesthouse, Terence woke with Wendy naked in his arms. Ryan was asleep on the cot beside them, his face slick with drool.This was supposed to be the perfect life he'd always dreamed of, and yet, he couldn't shake the unease gnawing at his heart.He thought back to two days ago, when I had come to tell him Ricky was missing.

Her fingers drew circles on his chest as she purred, "Terence, you haven't forgotten

"Her family?" Terence muttered under his breath. "Didn't she cut ties with them years ago?"He still remembered the stinging humiliation from the day he visited my parents and was chased out like a stray dog.For that, I had even severed ties with my family just to marry him.When he showed up at our door, my parents instantly wrote him off. He was just a high school dropout with no steady income, and worse yet, he lived out in the countryside.And me? I was a college graduate with a solid career as a physician, a city girl, and an only child. By any measure, I was a good catch. Yet, I stubbornly insisted on marrying Terence.My parents had been so furious that they threatened to disown me. Stubborn as a mule, I stood by my word and never reached out to them again after the wedding.The only exception was when Terence secretly called them to visit me after Ricky was born.I shut it down the moment I found out. If I'd known that might have been my last chance to see them, I never
