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
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 81
Chris's POVSeveral people were busy meeting me to discuss business for a long time. The guests at the party held by the STAR Association were also getting increasingly numerous, so I could no longer find Nicole.Only the woman's son was visible from my sight at this point. He was accompanied by the assistant whose name I never learned, but I remembered him well because he had taken Nicole away when we met again after a long time.I had no intention of approaching them but instead tried to look for the woman who the guests around me might just block. Nicole shouldn't have been far away since the party was held in one part of this vast and magnificent ship unless she had reserved a place to rest.I paused, suddenly thinking of a possibility that I did not want to happen. I clamped my mouth shut. "Did she meet her husband?" I whispered, not wanting to be heard by anyone.A private individual or a small family like them would naturally book a room on a cruise ship like this if they wante
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 82
Chris' POVI looked at Edwin, who looked at all the guests present before speaking and smiling. "I'm glad to see that so many people, including all of you here tonight, are so concerned about the welfare of children that they decided to join the STAR Association.""The children in the STAR Association were previously children who had lost hope and could not survive on their own, especially since the association's current focus is on children who have chronic illnesses that are difficult to cure without your help." He said, looking more serious.The LCD screen displayed a building and then switched to several figures of researchers obscured by glass, looking serious in a laboratory full of equipment and wearing special clothes to ensure the cleanliness of the place and the research they seemed to be doing."With the addition of the grants raised so far, the STAR Association was finally able to establish a research center to create medicines that can cure children's illnesses, as well a
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 83
Nicole's POVI breathed in silently, calming my nerves at having more people before me than at my first socialite party or shareholder meeting."Thank you for the welcome." I began my speech, looking at all the people present and seemingly welcoming me. "I'm happy to be able to meet everyone who is already a part of the STAR Association in person and introduce myself here as the leader of the association as well as my father's daughter."I exchanged a smile with my foster father, who returned my smile and nodded. "Just like my father, as his daughter, I'm very proud to be able to tread the same path as him. As a businessman who helps children needing assistance from the STAR Association guided by his teachings over the years."Most of the people applauded. I could see everyone's faces clearly, especially those of Chris and Adeline, who were not far from the stage. I was still giving speeches but could tell how angry that woman was when she saw me standing at the podium.She clenched h
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 84
Nicole's POVI looked at Adeline calmly. "There's no need to act like this. Didn't you hear when I was introduced earlier? I am Nicole Duncan."I looked at Adeline, who was getting angrier after hearing my words. Her hands were clenched, and her lips were tightly pursed, but I could listen to the gnashing of her teeth, which told me that she was very upset by my blunt words.After my Edwin introduced me as part of the Duncan Family, in front of the many people attending the association party, Adeline already looked unaccepting of the reality she saw firsthand and was filled with emotion.I already knew she never liked me and only pretended to be nice at the beginning of our meeting. In the end, she turned into a person who always wanted to take what I had, even if it was just a compliment.If someone were to do that to me, she would go to any lengths to get more praise from me. It was the same with other things. That woman had always wanted attention from many people and didn't want m
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 85
Chris's POVI didn't know what to feel like at a time like this. Too many things were spinning in my head after hearing Evan's statement about Nicole's DNA test results and Edwin's statement that was complemented by Nicole's presence with him.All this time, I had always felt certain that the Nicole I saw at the association party at this moment and also when we met for the first time in a long time was the woman I had known for a long time, Nicole Martinez. Their resemblance was so uncanny that I could have mistaken them for the same woman, but reality didn't match my beliefs.DNA test results are very difficult to fabricate, especially since Evan was the one who supervised the examination in person, so there was no possibility that the answer would be a mistake. The same goes for Edwin's statement.There was no way I could deny the words of a powerful man like him, especially when he was one of the most influential leaders of a conglomerate family and had already achieved this status
