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

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

Nicole's POV"Hah! Are you trying to threaten me as a businessman?" Zedd seemed to take no notice of Key's words, pointing at him and then at me with a furious look. "You're the figureheads of unscrupulous charlatans!"Key tried to calm down the man, who was raging again. "Mr. Zedd-""Shut up!" The man immediately rebuked Key, returning his gaze to me, who hadn't given him the reaction he wanted. "If you want to be forgiven by us, you must prepare accountability and compensation for my family that you've played!"I looked at the woman and her child, who were now hugging each other tightly, looking pitiful even to my own eyes. I didn't expect that the woman's haughty figure could be easily hidden and then replaced by something like this. Her son could follow his mother's great acting.The woman grabbed her husband's hand, suddenly saying something contradicting her words. "Honey, just forgive them. I want to go home now.""Yes, Father. I'm afraid of what the people around us think...."
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 34
Nicole's POV"Damn it, is something wrong with my phone?" The man asked himself, but it could be heard by everyone there, including me, Richard, and Key.She fiddled with her phone for some time with a deeply furrowed brow and then spoke again. "Did you really check it, Mila?"No answer could be heard from the phone because the call speaker was not activated. I could only watch the man's face for guesses, but it didn't take long for him to falter."Zedd! Honey! Are you okay?" His wife asked as she tried to hold back her husband's body, which seemed to collapse at any moment."Dad! You're going to fall like that!"One of their guards wanted to help, but the woman was stubbornly trying to bear the weight of her own husband's body along with their son, who was holding his father's other hand.Zedd touched his forehead, no longer unsteady but still holding on to his wife and son, who still looked worried when they saw him at this moment. The man hung up the phone in silence and then immed
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 35
Nicole's POVI didn't comment, leaving the responsibility to Key, who was already well-understood by the man. As long as I didn't have to get involved, then Key could handle a problem like this on his own.One of the higher-ups came forward, looked at me, and bowed. "I'm sorry to interrupt, Miss, but we have something to discuss with Mr. Key."I raised an eyebrow, looking at Key, who immediately turned around and looked sharply at the bigwig who had just spoken to me. "You're being very impolite.""Mr. Key, we just-"Key clucked. "If you continue like this, you should be expelled. I've already told you you can't go into this area because it's Miss' private residence, right?"The bigwigs fell silent, as did the bigwig who had just spoken, then was pulled back by his partner. I sighed softly, tired of attending to another troublesome matter even though Key was taking care of it."You're not allowed to be here, nor do you intend to come here again, understand?" Key asked the higher-ups.
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 36
Nicole's POVA few days passed. Richard and I were now having lunch in the dining room, enjoying a meal from a chef who had been summoned directly from a famous restaurant to save time, rather than us going to the restaurant where he worked.After that troublesome day, I decided to minimize our outdoor activities if they weren't too important. Although going out is important, it would be better to do it around our spacious house instead of doing it like yesterday.If I had to, I would have relied on the car and booked the place privately in advance so that no random people could enter.I returned my gaze to Richard. He seemed to enjoy his meal so much that I immediately noticed the smear of sauce at the corner of his chewing lips.I smiled, feeling quite happy to see his occasional childlike behavior like this, before telling him. "Richard, there's sauce on your face." I tapped the corner of my lips.My son's eyes widened before reaching for the cloth beside his hand. She quickly wipe
