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
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 75
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
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 77
Nicole's POVIn the past few days, I have been looking through the news about Adeline. The work of Key and his team was so good that even without searching for the news, Adeline's name was already at the beginning of the search engine, so it was not difficult to attract the attention of many people at once.The journalists had made the news very interesting. It wasn't just a recounting of events that anyone could tell, but also the addition of ridicule and demeaning Adeline that was so softened that no one who read it would notice, but it could cause a scene.For one of the articles that had a lot of comments that I was opening. There were thousands of comments under the article, but one comment caught my attention."Isn't she the one who snatched her sister's future husband? That woman is from the Martinez family, right?"Someone replied to her comment. "Oh, yes. I remember! It was one of the breaking news stories from a few years ago. How did it go?""If I'm not mistaken, not long a
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 78
Nicole's POV"What are you doing to me?" I asked angrily, having just realized from my shock that I had ended up in Chris' car.I tried to push him back out of the car, but he was much stronger than me and quickly made my efforts futile. No matter how determined I was, I would never reach half of his original strength and his size that surpassed mine.Chris was now holding my hand and indirectly forcing me to get into the car so he could sit next to me and close the door. He looked at me intently. "Please understand me, Miss Nicole. I won't take you anywhere. I just want to chat with you in this car."I looked around, trying to figure out if there was anything that could help me at this point, but now there was nothing visible in my eyes because I was too panicked.Everything was too fast for me to be as vigilant as usual. Chris can just show up out of nowhere, and he doesn't just let me go like he did a few days ago. It made me think that he might have discovered my identity and was
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 79
Chris's POVI saw that the car Nicole was driving was gone. I was in a strange mood, empty and sad because I no longer saw her. Even though she had rejected my presence several times, I couldn't help but feel happy every time I saw her.I looked down at my hands, looking at the few strands of Nicole's hair that I had managed to get by extreme means. As I pulled her into my car, I used my other hand to hold her head from hitting the corner of the vehicle and then simultaneously grabbed her hair without her noticing.I sighed, staring intently at the long strands of hair. "Now I am a villain," I muttered under my breath, not wanting to acknowledge Nicole's accusations that she had directed at me earlier.I was worried that she knew about my actions, but it turned out that she was referring more to my not giving up on finding her so that we could meet like this and apologize. What happened at the amusement park was a coincidence because I didn't even realize Adeline was following me.I r
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 80
Chris' POVWaiting for the answer from the DNA test made me feel uneasy, especially when Evan told me that there was a possibility that the man would receive news from there today about Nicole's true identity.I tried to remain patient during the wait, especially when I had to leave for the party organized by the STAR Association today. The party was on a dock far from the city center and would be held on a yacht explicitly settled for the party.I got ready, put on some official clothes much better than the ones I wore to the office, and headed downstairs. At that moment, I saw Adeline, who was also ready with a festive dress and makeup on her face, as if waiting for my arrival, and then looked back at me, who was staring at her silently."I know a party being held today by the STAR Association, Chris. I want to come there too." She said without hesitation.I frowned, not remembering if I had ever told her about this party, except for one thing she might have done without my knowledg
