All Chapters of EX-HUSBAND’S REGRET(The Wife He Discarded): Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

By the time the car finally pulled into the driveway, the sky above London had already gone dark.Soft golden lights glowed across the mansion windows, warm against the cold evening air outside.I leaned back briefly against the seat as exhaustion settled deeper into my bones.Thirteen hours.My body still felt trapped somewhere between Seoul and London.The driver stepped out first before opening the door for me.Cold air brushed against my face immediately as I stepped outside.Home.The thought settled quietly inside my chest.The doors opened before reaching them.And the second I stepped inside, “MOM!”A small body slammed into me so fast I barely had time to react.My breath escaped in a soft laugh as Leo wrapped both arms tightly around my waist.“There’s my baby,” I murmured immediately, bending down to hug him properly.His little arms squeezed tighter around my neck. “You stayed too long.”Guilt pinched faintly beneath my ribs.“I know.” I kissed his cheek softly. “I missed

The past week disappeared into work faster than I expected.By the third day back in London, I barely had time to think about anything outside Aurelia Brand.Meetings filled my mornings. Production approvals filled my afternoons. Calls with the Korean manufacturing team often dragged into the evenings due to the time difference, discussing shipment schedules, revised packaging, fabric sourcing, and campaign timing.Every day blurred into the next until routine settled back into my bones again.Every time one issue ended, another replaced it before I could even sit properly.And honestly?I preferred it that way.Work kept my mind occupied. Focused. Controlled.This morning, I walked through the company doors with a cup of coffee warming my hands while Mia kept pace beside me, already scrolling through her iPad as she updated me on today’s schedule.“Marketing wants final approval before noon,” she said. “And the Seoul team sent another revision for the winter packaging samples.”I hum

Dominic stood up slowly after saying something else to Leo that made him grin again.Then he patted Leo’s hair lightly.Something unpleasant twisted in my chest immediately.Leo didn’t pull away.If anything, he looked comfortable.Too comfortable.Dominic’s mouth curved faintly before he moved toward the next child while teachers and parents continued watching with polite smiles.I forced my feet to move again.My heels clicked quietly against the floor as I walked toward the parent section.Some people noticed me immediately.A few smiles.A few glances.Too many stares.I ignored all of them and sat down calmly, crossing one leg over the other while adjusting my bag on my lap.At the front, Dominic reached the next student.He offered the little girl his hand.“What’s your name?”The child smiled shyly before shaking his hand carefully. “My name is Emily Crane.”Dominic nodded once.“Focus on your studies, Emily,” he said evenly. “You have a great future ahead of you.”The little g

By the time I finally pulled into the company parking lot, my nerves already felt stretched too thin.I glanced at the time displayed on the dashboard.4:02 p.m.Shit.I was late.The frustration sitting inside my chest only tightened further.I turned off the engine quickly before stepping out of the car and opening the back door for Leo.He climbed down carefully.I reached for his hand automatically.“Come on.”We walked into the building together.A few workers noticed Leo immediately.“Hey, little man,” one of them greeted with a smile.Leo smiled back politely and waved.Another woman near the reception desk laughed softly. “Hi, Leo.”“Hello,” he answered seriously, making her laugh harder.Normally that would’ve made me smile too.But my chest still felt tight.My thoughts still felt messy.We reached the elevator and stepped inside.I pressed the button for my floor while the doors slid shut.Silence settled briefly around us.I stared at my reflection faintly against the meta

The wipeout game turned chaotic almost immediately.The spinning padded arm kept sweeping across the trampoline while music blasted overhead and people shouted from around the arena.At first, I stayed near the edge watching them.That lasted less than five minutes.Because somehow Pierce kept surviving purely through luck while talking entirely too much, and Ford got annoyingly competitive the second he realized Hayes was actually good at the game.Leo spent most of the first round screaming dramatically every time the padded arm came close to him.Not scared screaming.Excited screaming.The kind that made nearby people laugh.“I DID IT!” he yelled after one successful jump.“You survived one round,” Hayes said.“That means I’m a champion.”“No, it means you got lucky.”Leo ignored him completely while pouting.Pierce got hit the hardest out of all of us.Which, in fact, made the entire thing funnier.One second he was bragging. The next second the rotating arm knocked his legs out
