Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 25
Adeline's POVI returned to the house I lived in with Chris at nightfall, carrying the things I had brought earlier, and walked in. I had so much to think about that I would rather go home than see my stepfather again.The servants welcomed me back, and one took my luggage swiftly to my room. I followed him and asked. "Is Chris home yet?"The maid in front of me didn't answer and just kept walking. I paused, feeling surprised that a servant who looked younger than me didn't answer my question as a lady of the house. I gritted my teeth."Hey, I was asking you a question!" I snapped at the woman until she flinched and hurriedly turned her head.The maid bowed politely. "My apologies, Madam. What did you ask me just now? I was carrying things so that I couldn't listen.""Are you making excuses to my face?" I asked, holding back the anger that was already on the tip of my tongue.I'm already in a bad condition with being forced to accept my stepfather's unfounded anger and considering tha

Adeline's POVI felt a huge prickle in my head when I woke up, and my eyes were closed. The sunlight coming through the skinny curtains made me feel uncomfortable, and I wanted to lie down again, but I couldn't do it.Chris is already getting ready at this hour, so I should try to get close to him again. Last night was a failure, but that didn't mean I immediately gave up on my plan to conquer that guy."Ugh." I touched my forehead again as I moved to the end of the bed, reaching for the drink and hangover cure that the maid had prepared.I checked my appearance in the mirror and grabbed my sleeping robe, hurrying downstairs and not seeing Chris anywhere. Neither outside nor in his room, nor was his car there. He had left early in the morning.I gritted my teeth. "What an asshole!" That guy completely ignored me this time.I didn't care if anyone else was listening to me in the house. After all, there were only servants in this house, and there shouldn't be anyone who would dare to div
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 27
Adeline's POVI drove home a little drunk, but I knew that I wouldn't want to go back to the house where I and that guy lived today. It didn't feel good after having such a good time. I directed the taxi driver, who drove me to the address of the Martinez Family home."Hm, hm, hm." I hummed softly as I climbed the stairs to my room, knowing that no one was up at dawn yet.I was content playing around at the party, exchanging hot kisses and drinking freely, which I hadn't done in a long time after living with Chris. The men weren't very handsome, but they satisfied a small part of my desire to be with someone for a long time.It felt so liberating that I was already missing him again, even though I had forced myself to go home first. If I had been there longer, I might have ended up in the arms of one of the guys to continue doing something other than kissing.I smiled wryly. "Until the end, I was like this for you, Chris Damn it."I now felt tired and happy all at once and quickly fel
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 28
Nicole's POVI couldn't stop smiling when I heard Key's words about the fate of the family that had abandoned me. I was so happy that I looked back at the man accompanying me to tea with Richard with a sparkling gaze."So, the Martinez Family is bankrupt?" I asked, receiving a nod from Key.The man showed me the stock rankings on the screen of the tab he was holding from the report that had been made. "The last company partnered with the Martinez Family was forcefully terminated yesterday. They also received a fine of two hundred million dollars, Miss." Key explained solemnly.The man very nicely explained everything that happened in the final seconds before the family's bankruptcy occurred, but I only listened to him briefly. The words I often heard from Key's report were Smith, loss, expulsion, and other things that made me smile even wider.The red color and minus sign in the percentages of the Martinez Family's company shares that I saw in front of me took up most of my attention,
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 29
Nicole's POVI was now in my office, leaning back in my chair, feeling empty after a full day of work. From company matters to the Duncan Family's upcoming business. There were so many preparations I had to make for everything to go smoothly.I watched the window of my room, which was still uncovered by the curtains, in silence, noting the darkened sky that reflected the inside of my predominantly brown workspace and the backs of several books neatly arranged in the closet.I sighed and closed my eyes for a moment, feeling calm after being able to rest. I didn't even have time to accompany Richard because I was too busy, and I made my son come to me when a waiter delivered lunch for me."I asked Marie to prepare some food for you since we didn't have breakfast together. Mom, don't forget to eat." Richard said firmly to me and planted a kiss on my cheek. "I'll continue playing and then build a robot. You just work quietly."I smiled then, feeling touched by Richard's concern for me, ev
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 30
Nicole's POV".... I am now at the scene. There has been no word from the Martinez Family until now, so I can only report from the front fence of the conglomerate family's house."A reporter broke the news on television, looking calm and holding a cell phone in his hand. The front of the family home also looked ordinary and devoid of activity, very different from the news the reporter was about to deliver."This is the video evidence of the violent acts committed by the alleged husband and wife Martinez and their family's only child against the servants. Let's watch."The chaos soon replaced the calmness of the reporter's demeanor heard from the television screen showing the video evidence. I could see several figures of servants neatly lined up in a row to the side, looking scared and clasping their hands together in front of them."What incompetent servants!" Mia shouted in front of the servants, who immediately frowned in fear. "What are you doing that you dare to make such a mess,
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 31
Nicole's POV"Richard... are you okay?" I asked after calming down somewhat, approaching my son, who immediately nodded but still rubbed his forehead a few times. I also held his slightly reddened forehead. "Does it hurt?"Richard shook his head. "No, mom. Just a little sore."I blew gently on my son's forehead as I whispered comfort to Richard, who wasn't crying, while the other boy was quiet and seemed fine. I was just about to ask the boy when a woman came up to us with an angry frown on her face."You! Did you hit my son on purpose?" He suddenly screamed, looking at me angrily and then at Richard, who was no longer holding his forehead.The little boy, who had been silent earlier, immediately hugged his mother's hand tightly, not looking at me or Richard, who hadn't done anything since then but walked outside the house. I had only intended to take a walk with my son, but my son was just a little excited, so he ran.I stared at the woman unacceptingly, feeling unhappy with her accu
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 32
Nicole's POVI wouldn't say I liked the look of the woman still talking to her husband on the phone. She obviously exaggerated what happened between our children, and her husband swallowed all of his wife's information whole.Naturally, the man didn't see what happened, and his relationship with his wife was likely good. I sighed with Richard still by my side. My son remained calm and even tried to comfort me by pulling my hand lightly."Mom is okay, right? You're holding on too tightly, I'm afraid." Richard looked at me intently, frowning deeply enough for me to touch his forehead lightly.I shook my head, quickly loosening our overly tight hand grip before muttering in a low voice so that the Mother and Son pair in front of us could not hear. "It's okay, I'm just a little upset.""You're okay too, Richard?""I'm fine, Mom." Richard smiled a little. "I was already walking carefully, then that kid suddenly appeared before me and crashed."I sighed again, relieved to have a son who cou
