Who's the One Regretting Now? novel Chapter 59

Chapter 59

Sharon’s eyes lit up with surprise, but she hesitated, feigning uncertainty. “This is the necklace you spent two hours choosing and paid a fortune for, just for May. It wouldn’t be right for me to accept it.”

Edward’s anger flared. Two hours and nine million dollars, yet Macie had dismissed it without a second thought, even throwing it aside. “She doesn’t deserve it. Just take it,” he said coolly before heading into the master bedroom and shutting the door.

Sharon watched him leave. Then, a greedy and excited smile curled her lips. She had initially planned to make Macie return the necklace to Edward, but now, getting her hands on it had been effortless.

Wasting no time, she put it on, sat in front of the vanity, and took photos under perfect lighting to highlight the dazzling rose–crowned design. Then, she posted them on her Instagram account.

Inside the master bedroom, Edward lay in bed after washing up. He intended to sleep but found himself wide awake.

His phone screen kept switching between two pages–Macie’s contact profile and their chat window.

He wrestled with his emotions, torn between anger and hesitation. He wanted an explanation, yet he also wanted her to come begging for his forgiveness.

Ultimately, pride and reason won out. He refused to be the one to reach out first. If she had the guts, she

could stay in the hospital forever and never come home.

Scoffing, Edward placed his phone on the nightstand, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.

At dawn, Macie’s internal clock woke her up early. She instinctively sat up and was ready to head to the

kitchen to make breakfast–only to freeze. She glanced around and reminded herself that she was back

in her own home, wholly disconnected from Edward.

She lay back down and shut her eyes, trying to fall asleep again. However, it was futile.

Habits were terrifying. Two years of routine had etched themselves into her very being. Her lips pressed together, and her eyes were cold. She needed to break free from these habits and erase everything tied to

Edward,

Since she couldn’t sleep, she got up, changed into casual clothes, and went for a morning run. By the time the sun had fully risen, she was having breakfast.

Macie messaged Alice to see if she was awake. Half an hour later, Alice finally replied, still lazing in bed while gossiping about entertainment news.

Macie opened the screenshot Alice sent her. The headline read, “Edward from Fowler Group Buys a Nine-

Million–Dollar Necklace for His Girlfriend.” 1

Macie ate her pudding, musing about how small the world was. She hadn’t even been gone two days, and already Edward was in the news.

Her appetite was ruined as that was the first thing she read in the morning.

She had no interest in the article and was about to exit the page when the image of the necklace caught

her eye. She paused.

It was a rose design, entirely encrusted with pink diamonds. It looked exquisite and luxurious. However,

wasn’t this the compensation gift Edward had mentioned to Macie four nights ago?

Back then, he claimed that it was nothing expensive. Yet, it was actually worth nine million dollars.

And now, it adorned Sharon’s neck. The latter’s caption on her social media post read, “Thank you for the

necklace! I love it!”

Macie let out a cold, mocking smile. It turned out that the necklace was for Sharon all along. Then why

bother pretending to give it to her?

She considered that Edward had perhaps assumed that she wouldn’t accept it. After all, he had never

once bought her a gift in the last two years.

Macie thought that Edward was hypocritical and efficient as he killed two birds with one stone.

She exited the page and shut off her phone, but just then, a video call from Alice came through. She answered, and Alice, noticing the breakfast shop in the background, gasped. “You’re up this early? Aren’t you experiencing any jet lag?” 1

“Jet lag is just a matter of forcing your body to adapt. Two days is enough to reset it,” Macie replied calmly, as if she were simply talking about an internal clock.
