The CEO's Regret: Darling, Don’t Leave Me novel Chapter 108

Chapter 84: It’s No Longer an Impossible.–2

My mother shakes her head immediately.

“No, Clara.”

Her voice is firm.

“It’s fine as it is.”

I look up at her.

“I understand it perfectly,” she continues. “You have

“And I’m never going to judge you for that.”

Her words touch me deeply. Because, deep down, I’m always afraid of disappointing her.

“By the way, now that I remember him… What has become of Ethan?”

“Oh, he… he’s continued to be a very good person to me,” I say.

My mother looks up.

“Has he continued to be?”

Her expression barely changes.

There is some curiosity in his eyes.

“That means you’re still in touch with him.”

I nod slowly.

“Yes.”

I rest the cup on the table.

“Since Dad’s death… Ethan has been there.”

My mother doesn’t say anything. She just watches me.

“He’s been watching me,” I continue. “Of important things… of matters that I had to resolve.”

I remember all those little things. The calls, the messages. The times he showed up unannounced

when I needed it most.

“He has been a support,” I add.

Chapter 84 It’s No Longer an Impossible–2

My mother folds her hands on the table.

“But,” she says softly, “how are you doing with him?”

I feel a small knot in my chest, she looks at me with that look she has always had.

The look of a mother who knows when her daughter is trying to hide something.

“You guys have talked about-” she adds, “you know.”

Us. Our marriage, our past.

I stare at her for a few seconds, I might avoid the question, I might change the subject. But I don’t want to lie to her.

I nod.

“Yes.”

My mother waits.

“He’s not the same,” I say finally.

The phrase comes out softer than I expected.

“He’s certainly doing everything I hoped he would be… before we part.”

Silence settles again in the kitchen, but this time it is a different silence.

One full of possibilities.

My mother’s words are suspended in the air between us.

The sound of the spoon tapping gently against the coffee cup is the only thing that breaks the

silence for a moment.

I look up at her.

“From the moment I saw him help us when your father died,” she says calmly, “I knew he would

continue to help you, Clara.”

I blink slowly.

I didn’t expect her to say something like that, my mother is not a woman who gets too involved in my personal decisions. She has always been respectful of that. Even when my marriage began to

break down, she never took sides.

She never told me what I should do, she never told me what I should feel. That is why her words

surprise me.

She continues to talk while holding her cup in her hands.

“The way he moved around the house those days…” she pauses slightly. “The way he was aware of everything.”

I remember those days, I remember the chaos, the people coming and going, the papers, the calls, the decisions that had to be made while my world felt completely broken.

And I remember Ethan.

Always close, always solving something.
