Her Return, His Regret by Natie

Chapter 93~ Pleading for his friend

Adan Nicholson frowned when he saw his friend break down.

He felt bad because Ryan had been this way for six years. Although he never really expressed his feelings, he mostly drowned himself in alcohol, a look of regret crossing his face.

Was he going to sink into that hole of despair once again?

"Have you explained everything to her?" He asked after Ryan's sobbing reduced.

"I have... well, not everything. After all, I was the one responsible for saving and protecting her. I was her husband for fucksakes. I can't blame others for my incompetence," Ryan replied, his voice hoarse and his eyes red from crying. Whatever explanation he had didn't matter... it would still be an excuse. The fact was that he had failed Lora and he was paying for it at the moment.

Adan sighed, guilt creeping into him. If this continued, he was afraid Ryan would lose himself again.

When they parted ways, he took out his phone and called his assistant.

"I want you to find out Lora Davis' schedule," he instructed before cutting the call.

Ryan was his best friend and he was like a brother to him. Adan couldn't stand seeing him look so helpless. He had to do something.

The next day, Lora attended a business seminar at one of the hotels in the city.

It was there that she met one Adan Nicholson during lunch.
