All Chapters of His Regret Began When I Abandoned Him: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Chapter 12Jonathan’s apartment was located on the upper floor of a modern building. Large windows revealed the view of a busy city. Camelia stood near the window, gazing at the streets below. Her hand held a cup of warm tea, but her mind was not truly in the room.“You can stay here for now,” Jonathan said as he removed his jacket and hung it on the back of a chair. “Tomorrow I still have work to handle here. And the day after tomorrow, I’ll return to America.”Camelia immediately turned around. “To America?”“Yes,” Jonathan replied casually. “Most of my business is there.”Camelia shook her head quickly. “I don’t want to go back to America.”Jonathan stopped moving. “Why?”Camelia took a breath. “I don’t want to go back there.”Jonathan looked at his sister carefully. “Because of your ex-husband?”Camelia did not answer right away. A few seconds passed before she finally nodded slowly. “Yes, I don’t want to meet my ex-husband.”Jonathan crossed his arms. “I won’t let him get close t

Chapter 14Two months passed quickly, but for Calvin Ashford, his days felt heavier instead.That morning, Calvin had just sat down at the dining table when nausea hit him again. He covered his mouth, stood up in a hurry, and rushed to the bathroom.“Ugh—”The sound of vomiting was clearly heard.Samantha, who was choosing a suit in the bedroom, immediately turned around in panic. “Calvin?”A few minutes later, Calvin came out with a pale face. He rinsed his mouth, then leaned against the wall.“This is already the third time today,” he muttered irritably.Samantha approached him. “Is your stomach still hurting?”“It’s not pain,” Calvin replied while rubbing his chest. “It’s nausea. It feels strange.”“You already went to the doctor last week,” Samantha said carefully. “They said it’s not because of your stomach.”“That’s what makes me even more annoyed,” Calvin snapped. “If it’s not my illness, then what is it?”Samantha fell silent. She also found it strange, but she did not dare sa

Chapter 16The door to Calvin’s apartment opened just as the clock hands pointed to nearly midnight.Samantha walked in with quick steps, kicking off her high heels carelessly. The moment she saw Calvin standing in the living room, still wearing his work shirt, her face immediately brightened.“Calvin!” she exclaimed.Without waiting for a response, Samantha rushed forward and hugged him from the front, her slender arms wrapping around the man’s waist. The scent of expensive perfume spread through the air.“I missed you,” she said coquettishly, pressing her cheek against Calvin’s chest.Calvin was startled for a moment, then lightly patted Samantha’s back. “You just got home?”“Yes,” Samantha replied as she looked up. “I had dinner with friends. Exhausting.”She smiled and leaned closer, lifting her lips clearly intending to kiss him.Calvin immediately turned his face away.“Tata,” he said shortly.Samantha froze. Her hands slowly dropped. “Why?”Calvin took a breath. “I’m tired. The

Chapter 18Camelia stiffened instantly. Her heart pounded hard as Aurora’s innocent words slipped out just like that.“Yeah… is he our dad?”Camelia quickly lowered her head, trying to control her expression so it would not show panic. Her hand reflexively tightened its grip on both children’s fingers.“Don’t speak carelessly,” she said softly, but firmly.Daven looked at Camelia with a frown. “But his face looks like mine, Mom. Aurora said so too.”Camelia let out a breath, then knelt down so she was at their eye level. She gently held Daven’s and Aurora’s shoulders.“Listen carefully,” she said slowly. “Your father is already at peace in heaven. That man just happens to look similar. In this world, there are many people whose faces resemble each other.”Aurora tilted her head. “Really?”“Yes,” Camelia answered without hesitation. “Mama is not lying.”Daven fell silent for a few seconds, then nodded slightly. “If Mama says so, I believe it.”Aurora nodded as well. “I believe Mama too

Morning had not fully brightened when Calvin opened his eyes. He was sitting on the sofa in the guest room, his suit hanging on the back of a chair. He had barely slept all night. Every time he closed his eyes, what appeared instead was Camelia’s face, standing stiffly in the restaurant the night before.A soft cough came from the bedroom.“Calvin…” Samantha called weakly.Calvin stood up and immediately went into the room. Samantha was half-sitting on the bed, her face pale, her hair loose and messy.“You’re awake?” Calvin asked.“I’m dizzy again,” Samantha complained while holding her temple. “I think I had a fever last night.”Calvin touched her forehead. “You’re not warm.”Samantha bit her lip. “But my head feels heavy. Don’t go yet, okay?”Calvin fell silent. He glanced at the watch on his wrist, then unconsciously looked toward the door.“I just want to step out for a bit,” he said at last.“Where are you going?” Samantha asked quickly, her tone rising before she softened it aga
