Too Late for Regrets: The Betrayer Wants Me Back Chapter 19: Feelings That Remained
The aroma of aglio e olio pasta sprinkled with fresh basil drifted across their table. Erlan slid the white porcelain plate closer to Ravelle, along with a glass of iced lemon tea, her favorite drink.“Eat,” Erlan said, his voice softening as he looked at the exhaustion etched across Ravelle's face. “You haven't touched any food since this morning, have you?”Ravelle stared blankly at the pasta before her. A faint smile formed on her lips, though it looked forced.“You... still remember my favorite food, El.”“Of course,” Erlan replied without hesitation, his eyes locking onto Ravelle's with sincere warmth. “How could I possibly forget the little things about you?”Ravelle suddenly fell silent.Erlan's words had stirred another memory buried deep within her mind. Her thoughts drifted back ten years, to when she and Kyle were still college sweethearts.“Open your mouth, sweetheart. Ahh,” the younger Kyle had said as he arrived at the university library carrying a blue plastic lunchbox.
Too Late for Regrets: The Betrayer Wants Me Back Chapter 18: The Safest Place to Lean On
The double glass doors of the CEO's office at Stevens Corporation had just closed tightly after the board of directors walked out with tense expressions. Kyle let out a long breath and loosened the tie that had felt suffocating since morning. Leaning back against his executive chair, he reached for the phone on his desk. An uneasy feeling had been bothering him ever since he left the house.He tapped a name on the screen and lifted the phone to his ear.At a quiet corner of the city park, the phone inside Ravelle's handbag vibrated. She glanced at the screen, then looked at Erlan sitting beside her before sliding the green button."Yes, Kyle?""Where are you?" Kyle's voice sounded heavy from the other end. "How are you? Are you feeling better now?""I'm fine," Ravelle answered flatly, her voice as cold as ice without a trace of emotion. "I'm just getting some fresh air outside."Just as Kyle was about to reply, a subtle movement occurred beneath his desk. Jessica slowly crawled upward

"Alright, we'd better head to the office now," Kyle said as he adjusted his wristwatch, trying to shake off the lingering frustration clogging his chest. The man let out a heavy sigh and glanced at the wall clock that kept ticking forward. "The stock market has been open for an hour already, and I don't want this domestic issue ruining my focus in front of the board of commissioners."Jessica quickly adjusted her makeup into a highly professional look. She nodded obediently before stepping forward and slipping her arm through Kyle's with a gesture so natural yet filled with possessiveness. "Of course, Kyle. I've already prepared all the documents for the general shareholders' meeting in the car."As soon as the roar of Kyle's black SUV faded away from the mansion grounds, silence reclaimed the first floor.Upstairs, Ravelle heard the car from behind her bedroom window. Once she was sure her husband and his secretary had truly left, she grabbed her handbag and car keys once again. Ther

Kyle's footsteps sounded heavy as he led the way out of the examination room corridor in the VIP wing of Manhattan Central Hospital. Behind him, Ravelle walked at a deliberately slower pace, wearing a convincingly exhausted expression."So, it's nothing serious, Doctor?" Kyle asked, stopping in front of the private administration desk and turning toward the middle-aged man in a white coat who was following them.Doctor Simon, who had received an untraceable transfer from one of Ravelle's subordinates a few hours earlier, nodded firmly while adjusting his black-framed glasses. "That's correct, Mr. Stevens. Mrs. Ravelle is only suffering from acute anemia. Her blood pressure is very low, and so is her blood sugar level. That's what triggered the severe migraine she's had since last night."Kyle let out a long breath, the tension in his shoulders easing slightly. "Does she need to be hospitalized?""No need, sir. Outpatient treatment will be sufficient," Doctor Simon replied quickly, bri
Too Late for Regrets: The Betrayer Wants Me Back Chapter 15: A Pause Behind the Wheel
Ravelle's steps stopped right beside the door of her white sedan parked in the courtyard. Just as her fingers touched the door unlock sensor, a strong and hot grip suddenly locked her right wrist, jerking her body until it spun a half circle.*Whish!*"Let go, Kyle," Ravelle hissed, her eyes instantly piercing sharply at the figure of her husband who stood with somewhat rushing breath in front of her."I'll drive you," Kyle said, his voice heavy, absolute, and accepting no argument. His grip on Ravelle's wrist actually tightened further, instead of loosening. "You have a headache, Vel. It's dangerous to drive yourself in a condition like this."Ravelle tried to pull her hand with a forceful jerk, but her physical strength was clearly far outmatched. "I can drive myself. Let go of your hand, Kyle!""I said I will drive you, Ravelle!" Kyle barked, his tone rising, cutting off his wife's sentence with a rigid dominance. The man did not care about the refusal. With one forced pull, he dra

"She is indeed not my child."Those words simply slid from Ravelle's lips, sharp and unbothered. Her tone was so flat, no longer reflecting the legal status of the young girl she had raised for the past seven years.Kyle froze where he stood, his hand which was still holding Calysta's shoulder instantly tensing up. "What did you say? Vel, watch your mouth! Are you aware of what just came out of your mouth?"Ravelle did not return her husband's fiery gaze. She merely glanced briefly at Calysta, who was still sobbing under Kyle's protection, and then turned her body gracefully. The air in the dining room had become too toxic to breathe any longer."Forget it," Ravelle replied, her tone brushing off the tension as if this whole sequence of drama was completely unimportant to her. "I'm leaving.""Leaving?" Kyle stepped forward, releasing his embrace on Calysta and chasing after his wife's steps, which had already shifted toward the outer corridor. "Where are you going this early in the mo
