Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 69
Nicole's POVBright morning, I got ready in my room and quickly walked towards my son's room to wake him up. We had some things to do together, so she had to get ready to leave as well.In the room, Richard still looked asleep. I walked slowly and opened the curtains on his bedroom window so that the morning sun immediately touched my son's face, who was now frowning with his eyes still closed. I tapped him lightly on the shoulder to keep him from falling back asleep."Come on, wake up, son," I said softly, making my son open his eyes slowly and blink before I blocked his face from the sunlight momentarily.Richard squirmed and stretched his body on the bed. He looked at me with a still sleepy look but also sweet as he spoke. "Mom, good morning.""Good morning to you too, Richard." I smiled as I watched him shift to sit on his bed while my hand reached out to smooth the back of my son's slightly messy hair. "I got a wonderful gift from you last night. Thank you."My son, who had looke

Nicole's POVWe were currently riding a Ferris wheel that was very high in my estimation. I couldn't look out of the window and could only look at Richard, who seemed to be enjoying the ride while moving his feet happily and not taking his eyes off the Ferris wheel window since we entered.His face brightened as he looked at me. "Mom-oh, what's wrong?" He looked a little worried."Mom's feeling a little scared, Richard." I gave up, feeling trembling in my body, and reached out to my son, who was sitting on the other side.Richard formed a flat line with his lips but accepted my hand. I felt like he could tell how scared I was from how moist my hand felt in his grip. "Are you a child? I'm really scared."I shook my head, denying my son's remark about me being like a child. "I've always been afraid of heights, but you like it here, don't you? I just need this kind of company to be less scared.""Okay." He patted my hand lightly with his other hand, trying to calm me down. "You just rela

Nicole's POVWithout saying anything, the man I saw at the table across from us now took the nearest chair and moved next to Richard. He seemed to smile faintly at my son without looking back at me."You probably don't know, but I own a pretty big robot development company, a little one. You can come there as my best friend." The man spoke"I don't need it, sir," Richard responded to Chris' words without hesitation. "I already have many places to build robots that are more fun than coming to your company."Chris looked at my son intently. "Are you sure? I don't want you to give up this opportunity because I rarely give it to anyone." He said, persuading my son more persistently."There's nothing wrong with you going to different robot manufacturing places to see what other people are making. You're a researcher for your robot. You'll need all kinds of references that can't just be found in books."I shifted my gaze to Richard, noticing my son was already wringing his hands and startin
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 72
Nicole's POVI was surprised by the water splashing on my face and the droplets hitting my clothes. At that moment, I saw the figure of the woman who was screaming earlier and was most likely the perpetrator of the watering that was directed at me. Adeline. The woman looked flushed with anger and was looking at me sharply."I already know that if you were a bitch once, you will be a bitch forever. How dare you meet my husband." She said with a shameless curse. "I should have known. You must have been planning to seduce Chris and get him since you reappeared, right? Just confess!"I didn't answer right away, preferring to calm myself down first from her wanton behavior, and grabbed a handkerchief, wiping my face until it was no longer wet. I felt much calmer as I realized that the woman was pouring from a water bottle that only contained mineral water, not the tea Chris had ordered at the table where I was sitting.It would be annoying if I came home with sticky and stained clothes rat
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 73
Nicole's POVIn the car, Richard was still holding my hand. His face looked worried. "Is Mom okay?" He asked.I couldn't answer right away. I was still trying to calm my anger that had almost returned after my encounter with the two people who had both mistreated me in the past, as well as their attitude towards Richard.I never wanted to show the violence that existed in domestic life to my young son. Even with his mature attitude that he would never do that someday, I didn't want to give him the idea that violence was one of the solutions to problems in any relationship.I want a happy life for my son, and I don't want to get involved in violence if it's not necessary, but that incident disturbed me.I finally exhaled after catching my breath, feeling much calmer than before and smiling as usual. "Mom is fine. Are you worried, Richard?""Yes, mom." He nodded, gazing at the top of my clothes, which still felt damp after being splashed by Adeline's water. "Mom's shirt is wet."I touch
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 74
Chris's POVI pulled Adeline from the car, forced her out of there, and quickly brought her into the house so she wouldn't try to run away and do something stupid like she had done at the playground.I had a hard time getting her out of there, especially when we were surrounded by so many people and without anyone to help me control her. She was still struggling in my grip, but I held her tightly when the door to the house finally opened."Let go! Let go of me, Chris! Why are you preventing me from going after that woman and teaching her a lesson? Aren't you willing to let me hurt that woman because she looks like Nicole?"She screamed and spoke in rapid succession, making my ears ache, but still let out her shrill voice when we finally entered the house, still struggling to break free. "You need to wake up, Chris! It's been more than eight years since Nicole was declared dead! You've been with me all this time, right!"I stopped my steps, turning around so that I could violently remo

Chris's POVI saw the video on the tab screen with trembling hands. What was written there was trivial, not something important that I would typically be interested in reading or just looking at for a long time like this, but it was different when both my name and my company were involved.I felt angry that this was happening again and finally looked at Adeline, who seemed to shudder when she saw my sharp gaze. "You-" I breathed, trying not to snap at her. "You've never once made me feel anything but ashamed. You are the worst woman."I found it strange that there didn't seem to be any news dropping Adeline's name anymore after her family's bankruptcy. That woman also didn't seem to be acting up except for a few times coming home at night after partying somewhere.I let it go as usual because that woman's safety and good image were not my priority as long as the company ran without interruptions, but this was different. She was getting into trouble again, embarrassing me and tarnishin
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 76
Chris's POVEvan came in to deliver his work as usual, but he seemed to be thinking about that woman, so he asked. "Did you not intend to cover up the news about your wife at all? There have been several other articles that have appeared, and it seems like the content is getting worse and widening everywhere."I had also looked at some of the articles Evan was talking about. The articles were all about Adeline, from her best days to her worst days, and were discussed after her name came to the top of internet searches.I made sure neither my name nor my company was there, so I didn't care much about it and focused more on my work, like now. Most of the articles aren't very important either, so in a while, I'm sure the discussion will pass even though all the traces of that woman's shameful photos will remain.I nodded, acting casually as if nothing important had happened. "The news about that has already spread. Let it go."I stared at the document in front of me, skimmed through a fe
