บททั้งหมดของ DEAR EX, IT'S TOO LATE FOR REGRET.: บทที่ 131 - บทที่ 140

CLOSING THE CASE FILES.Nathan’s POV.The afternoon sun was shining warm through the tall windows of my primary office as Mark held the door open for me, and the transition from watching that transport bus leave the courthouse gates to standing in this quiet room was completely smooth as I walked toward my central table. Joel had already set three thick red folders flat on the desk surface before heading back to his own department, and each paper file carried a black label bearing the name of Derek Williams along with his various defeated shell companies. I sat down in my desk chair, pulling the top file toward me while taking my black ink pen out from the tray to write down the final administrative updates."Good afternoon, Nathan, Joel asked me to bring up these secondary police clearance receipts before you begin closing down the primary legal records today," Mark said, stepping into the room and closing the door behind him while holding a short stack o

THE GUARDIANSHIP CELEBRATION.Nathan’s POV.The evening was quiet and bright as our private elevator opened directly into the main foyer, and the transition from our afternoon ice cream trip at the park to hosting this intimate dinner party was completely smooth as Sarah took our coats while our guests gathered in the living room area. Joel was sitting near the central table with two senior members of his legal team, while Mark stood near the hallway corner ensuring that every private door was secure, and the warm sound of conversation filled the entire penthouse layout as Emma walked over to welcome everyone."Good evening, Joel, thank you for coming up to celebrate with us tonight, and thank you to your entire team for working so hard on our permanent guardianship paperwork over these past few months," Emma expressed, walking over to shake Joel’s hand while Sarah set down a large tray of fresh fruit juices and iced drinks on the table."Good

THE EUROPEAN MARKET PROPOSAL.Nathan’s POV.The morning was bright as Emma and I walked into the main study after our family breakfast with Pearl and Gina, and the transition from watching our daughters start their morning art practice with Sarah to stepping into this business meeting was completely smooth as I pulled out a chair for Emma near the central table. I set a thick blue folder containing our international trade projections flat on the surface while Arthur Vance walked into the room carrying two cups of fresh tea, setting them down before taking his seat across from us."Good morning, Emma, good morning, Nathan, all the initial compliance files from our European legal advisors arrived early this morning, and the preliminary report shows complete clearance for our new expansion plans," Arthur reported, opening his leather notebook to present the summary pages."Thank you, Arthur, please leave those compliance summaries on the table so Emma

THE SEINE DINNER.Nathan’s POV.The evening sun was setting gently over the city as our private car pulled up near the riverbank dock, and the transition from leaving the trade center press room to stepping onto the deck of this private luxury yacht was completely smooth as Mark held the door open for us. Emma held my arm while we walked down the ramp toward the vessel where our captain stood waiting by the railing, and the warm lights along the river was already turning on as the boat engine started with a soft, steady hum."Good evening, Mr. Zander, good evening, Mrs. Zander, everything is completely prepared for your private dinner cruise down the Seine river tonight, and the chef is ready to serve your meal whenever you wish to sit down at the deck table," the captain reported, bowing his head politely as he guided us toward the outdoor dining setup near the back of the boat."Good evening, Captain, thank you for setting this up on such short no

A LIFETIME PROMISE.Nathan’s POV.The cool night air washed over the upper deck as our private yacht glided under the wide arches of the illuminations along the riverbank, and the transition from holding the open velvet box to sliding that custom diamond ring onto Emma’s finger was completely smooth as I took her left hand in mine. The bright lights reflected off the polished stone as I gently pushed the band into place, completely replacing our old corporate marriage ring, while Emma looked up at me with tears of joy shining in her eyes."This new ring feels so light and comfortable on my finger, Nathan, and knowing that we put away our old legal bands forever makes this moment feel so clean and true," Emma said, resting her hand against my chest while looking down at the diamond shining under the deck lights."That old ring belonged to a legal contract that we signed out of necessity, Emma, but this band belongs to our real marriage, our tru
