Perhaps she wouldn’t have ended up in this situation. Regret gnawed at her, but she knew—it was already too late. Hubert, oblivious to the storm raging inside her, merely relished the fear on her face. He chuckled, the sound carrying the arrogance of a victor. "Come now, sweetie.

The saying is true: “Regret always comes at the end.” People only realize the weight of their actions once they’ve already hurt someone.

he insisted, desperation creeping into his tone. “What’s there to regret now? Other than regretting that, I fell for you. I regret the day I met you. I regret the day I started falling for you!

I wish I could!” I yelled, my voice cracking as I glanced at Jane and Jason, who had begun to stir. “I regret our union, which brought about these innocent little cuties!” I added, my heart breaking further.

“ I thought that I would let you be and keep to myself but I realise now that it was a mistake. I should have confronted you about the welcome party you threw for her when you said you were going to attend a gala. I was an idiot for believing whatever you say. In a sense, this is my fault.

Kyle’s face drained of color, inch by inch. Charlie noticed and said leisurely, "The ghost you invited—you can’t send it away. Now your ex-wife is dragged into this mess. To be honest, helping her is the same as helping you." "Do you still think these are two separate matters?" "Do you realize how foolish you’ve been?"
