Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 1025
After all, most marriages were alliances based on mutual interests, with little emotional connection at the beginning.As the ties between the two families grew closer and pressure to have children increased, feelings gradually developed.His mistake lay in the three years of neglect.Even when he knew she was struggling, he didn’t step in to help.His purpose was to make her forget her feelings for him.But when she truly forgot, the pain in his heart became unbearable."If even the marriage certificate is gone, I’m afraid..."It was the first time Frank had ever heard the word "afraid" come out of Westley’s mouth.The Howard family was a renowned and powerful family. When others were still struggling with startups or working regular jobs, they had already monopolized the shipping industry and begun expanding into other sectors.As the eldest son, Westley had not only been showered with love since birth but also carried the responsibility of ensuring the Howard family’s conti

Even with two people between them, Westley could hear clearly. She was sitting right next to them—how could she possibly not have heard?Charlotte glanced at Westley, then raised her hand to gently smooth Jordan’s hair."Just small talk. Why are you so nervous? I was just thinking, if you don’t have someone you like, once you’re divorced, I could introduce someone to you."Westley gripped the glass in his hand tightly.The transparent glass began to show faint cracks.Frank’s lips curved slightly, and a hint of mischief flashed through his eyes."Mr. Howard, if you’re getting divorced, you shouldn’t stay single. The Howard family still needs a proper hostess to run the household."Westley’s sharp phoenix-like eyes narrowed slightly.What kind of game were these two playing, singing in such perfect harmony?"I have no intention of getting a divorce."Frank dragged out an exaggerated "oh" and shifted slightly, moving the arm he had draped over the back of Charlotte’s chair. His

She felt unsettled under their stares.She stiffly tried to change the topic, "Jane, was Zachary really having morning sickness?"Jane smiled. "It’s a little late to ask that, isn’t it? He’s probably done now."The aroma of the fish was irresistible, and she couldn't hold back any longer.She hadn't wanted to ask initially.After all, she had already learned about Zachary's morning sickness at the door.This was just her trying to find something to say."Oh," she said awkwardly. "Zachary really loves you...""I know that," replied Jane.Jane put some food on her plate. "So, you and that mentor of yours, there's nothing romantic going on?"Jordan's eyes widened in shock, and even the fish in her mouth suddenly tasted bland."Don't talk nonsense! My relationship with Oliver is nothing special.""Then you truly don't have someone you like?" Charlotte asked again for confirmation.At that moment, the three men just happened to walk to the screen nearby and stopped upon hearing

Jane didn’t miss the cold glint that flashed in Zachary’s eyes.It seemed he wasn’t really planning to escort Westley, nor was it because Frank had something urgent to attend to.It was likely because he had his own matters to deal with.She didn’t ask, though. Instead, she curved her lips into a smile. “I’ll wait for you at home.”Zachary picked out a bone in the fish for her. “If you’re tired, go to sleep first. I’ll definitely come home, I promise.”“Alright.”Beside them, Frank whispered something to Charlotte.Charlotte nodded to show that she understood.Jordan glanced left and right, feeling like she was the third wheel.Better to just eat.She was about to turn the table to get some muffin when the lazy Susan rotated toward her the moment she reached out.The muffin landed right in front of her.She didn’t lift her head to look, but she could feel a scorching gaze focused on her face.Her long lashes fluttered quickly, and she paused, not reaching out to pick up th

Zachary opened his eyes and locked gazes with Frank.He knew the latter was a scheming person.In the private room.Jane tried to lighten the mood. “Let’s skip the mango today. I don’t feel like having it either.”Charlotte purposely exposed her. “It’s because you’re supposed to eat less mango now.”Jane stuck out her tongue and called the server to bring a peanut-free triangular cake.“How about blueberry flavor?”“Perfect, I’ve been craving blueberries today.”“Please wait a moment.”After the server left, Jane and Charlotte noticed Jordan still seemed down.They exchanged a glance before Jane asked, “Shouldn’t you be happy about the divorce? Isn’t this what you’ve wanted most?”Jordan fiddled with the corner of the tablecloth, wrinkling it between her fingers.She couldn’t understand Westley, but the foundation of her understanding of him was still there.With a sigh, she said, “He rarely changes his mind once he’s made a decision. For instance, during those three years

The light in the basement was dim.Zachary walked closer step by step, only then able to see the scene below.An iron chain was fastened around Luthor’s neck. He hadn’t been cleaned up for a month, his whole body filthy, with exposed skin that was cracked and oozing blood.His untrimmed hair was like tree branches, covering his eyebrows and eyes.At that moment, he was crouched on the ground, eating something from a bowl.It was unclear what it was, but it looked like pig slop.At a glance, Zachary couldn’t bear it and looked away.The pregnancy nausea tormented him more than his stomach ailments ever had."Even like this, you’re still alive. Are you so determined to one day take me down?"His cold and detached voice echoed, but Luthor remained focused on eating.Zachary kicked over the stainless steel bowl."You’re more resilient than I imagined. No wonder the Winston family thrived under your hands. Without you, they’ve become nothing but pushovers."The feud between the

Frank saw Zachary's guilty behavior and said, “You’re going like this? With a change of clothes? Do you think Jane’s stupid? You think she wouldn’t guess what you were up to?”Zachary fastened his belt and replied, “She already knows.”Frank didn’t bother with him and asked, “You never told Jane in advance about the paternity test results?”“I’m going to tell her now.”On the outskirts of the city.Roy handed the paternity test report to Luthor.Luthor looked at the names on it. The conclusion at the end stated there was no biological relationship.It was unbelievable.“How is that possible!”If Jane wasn’t Jasper’s biological daughter, then Jane would no longer be a stain on Zachary.Not to mention whether her biological parents were influential figures.Even if she had no parents, she would still be far better than being Jasper’s daughter.“Zachary sent you here with this fake report to fool me! Otherwise, why would he leave after saying only half of what he intended to?

‘I’ll never fulfill his wish,’ thought Zachary.“Aboard the same boat, there’s no abandoning ship—they can only sink together.”Frank’s phone vibrated. He smirked and said, “The families of the mining accident victims are not determined to keep their mouths shut as before. Have you finished investigating the human trafficking lead on your side?”Zachary also received updates from Rick and the others.He glanced at his watch. “Let’s go home first. We’ll handle it tomorrow.”Frank didn’t mind.Letting those people have one more peaceful night of sleep wasn’t a problem.Although, in reality, those people couldn’t sleep at all.The quieter Zachary’s side was, the more terrified they became.They couldn’t even arrange to meet him.Like headless flies, they wandered aimlessly in their homes.Some had even developed grey hair from the stress.When Frank returned home, things were lively on Sparrow’s side.Charlotte looked at him and said, “Jordan is staying over tonight. She want

He placed some meat on her plate and asked, "Don't you like being close to me? Or do you still think our relationship isn't suitable for closeness right now?"Jordan couldn't really explain.Westley answered for her, "Do you think the development between us is different from others? So it's awkward?"Jordan thought for a moment, and it seemed like that was the case.Westley continued, "So you still want to go through a process before we get to the point where we can kiss in a romantic relationship?"Jordan fell silent.Westley said, "If you have something to say, just say it. There's nothing we should be embarrassed about between us."Jordan bit her cutlery, and after a few seconds, she said, "Before we remarry, we can maintain a working relationship. We can eat together, do some things together, but we can't have any intimate behavior. Can you accept that?"Westley obviously couldn't accept it.He didn't really understand why she wanted it that way.But he still went along w

"Otherwise, would you listen to something you don't want to hear?"Jordan didn't want to argue with him. "I'll say this one last time... Mm!"Her lips were sealed, and when Jordan tried to push him away, she kept punching his shoulder.She tilted her head to dodge, but he firmly held her by the back of her head.She opened her mouth to bite him, but he grabbed her face, deepening the kiss.In the quiet office, with only the two of them, the sound of water droplets, which made hearts race and faces flush, could be heard.Jordan, unable to take it anymore, kicked him.But his long legs held her down.She was completely at his mercy, unable to move at all."Um..."It wasn't until the sound of a knock on the door broke the intimate atmosphere."I'm here for the interview... Is this a bad time?"As soon as Westley released her, Jordan immediately pushed him away, wiping her lips forcefully.She stomped on him hard and tried to calm her emotions as she looked toward the door."

Jordan went to sit on the sofa and casually raised her hand toward him."Go on."Westley looked at her, noticing how she resembled a boss, a look that had some of his own influence in it.He smiled.Jordan shot him a glare. "Be serious.""Alright."Westley sat up straight, looking serious.He began to explain his previous plans to her.Except for parts of the plan that needed to be kept confidential, he didn't hide anything else."The reason I had you stab me was indeed to let you vent your anger, to make up for the harm I've caused you. It was just a coincidence that the higher-ups issued an order at the same time, so I decided to go along with it. Now, the plan has been completed. I can indeed come back to life, but right now, there's nothing I need to do. The Howard family has Leanne, and I've already resigned. I'm just a jobless wanderer now, and no one cares. Whether I'm alive or not doesn't really matter."Jordan felt that those last two sentences were clearly meant to

But when she reached the bedroom door, ready to go out and check, she thought again, how could he, such a grown man, possibly be putting himself through hardship?With so many people under him, he could just call anyone to bring him clothes.And he could book a comfortable presidential suite for himself.There was no need for her to be concerned about it.Besides, it was her who had locked him out in the first place.Going out now would only make it seem like she cared about him too much.Right.She shouldn't go out.Jordan returned to her bed.But no matter what, she couldn't fall asleep.In the living room, Westley was already lying on the sofa.The heating was turned up high, so he wasn't worried about the cold.He was holding his phone, making some kind of plan.In the end, Jordan didn't even know how she fell asleep.When she woke up groggily, the first thing she did was get up and check on Westley.But she found that he wasn't there anymore.She let out a sigh of

She now saw herself only as a sister figure to him. Even though they were a bit close, there was still a sense of distance and wariness.It was impossible for her to fully open up to him.But at that moment, suddenly talking about their relationship wasn't really appropriate.Besides, with how things had developed between her and Westley, if he intervened, it would just force them apart.In the end, it would be her who got hurt.‘Forget it.’Nathan decided to just watch how things would unfold.If Westley still didn't realize his mistakes and hurt Jordan again, then no matter what, he couldn't let them be together."Has Jasmine not come back?""Huh?" The topic changed too quickly, and Jordan was a little slow to react. "No.""Nathan, did you take anything from this room?"Nathan's gaze darkened slightly. "No."Noticing that he was in a bad mood, Jordan didn't ask about his situation with Jasmine."Jasmine probably has something she wants to do."Nathan could tell from her

"I've already picked out a few candidates, but I just haven't had the chance to arrange meetings for you yet. Maybe you've only ever been exposed to him since childhood. Try dating someone else, and you might realize he isn't the only one for you." Jordan shook her head. "Nathan, that's not it..." "I'm certain I like him—no matter how outstanding others are, I won't be interested." Nathan frowned. "You've never tried being with anyone else. How can you be so sure?" Of course, Jordan was sure. Ever since her youthful heart first fluttered, she had been certain, apart from Westley, she would never love anyone else. And that was precisely why his indifference had wounded her so deeply. She had filed for divorce and despised his later attempts at remorse. Because she had never wavered in her feelings—yet he only began to love her after she decided to let go. If he had realized it even a little sooner, they wouldn't have suffered through such a painful, drawn-out

"I’m not doing anything," Westley answered her question, squeezing her hand slightly. "Just need your help with something."Jordan was already in her 20s.How could she not understand the things between men and women?His voice was dangerously hoarse now, and what kind of help could he possibly need from her?"You do it yourself, I can't help.""Well, I’ll do all the hard work."He was the one doing all the hard work indeed.But he was holding her hand, making her hand... move with his!Jordan tried to pull her hand back. "Westley, you’re making me mad."Westley leaned on her shoulder and laughed lowly. "Alright, after you help me, feel free to get angry. Hit me however you want. But right now, Jordy, I can't stop."The temperature in the kitchen gradually rose.With the heating, it made the air dry and uncomfortable.She had just taken a shower to cool down, but now, a thin layer of sweat had formed.She felt hot.Jordan had nowhere to hide and couldn't break free.In t

The arm around her waist suddenly tightened.The breath sprayed near her ear, hot and unsettling.The man's hoarse voice came. "Don't want to sleep? Then how about we do something else?"Jordan gripped the blanket tightly, weakly lying, "I want to go to the bathroom. I haven't washed up yet either."Westley released her.Jordan quickly escaped. She didn't know what she might do if she stayed another second.Westley lowered his head, glancing at her, then sighed deeply.This was a pyrrhic victory.Jordan stayed in the bathroom for a long time.She even took a shower.But after finishing, she suddenly remembered that her bath towel had been taken by Westley.Standing in the bathroom, she felt like she had no way out.And in her haste to come in, she hadn't grabbed a change of clothes.She had impulsively picked up the clothes that Westley had swapped out of and her clothes and tossed them into the laundry basket.Her clothes were now all wet.She could only silently fume.

‘I’ve already taken my pants off and you’re just going to leave it at that?’She thought this must have been intentional on Westley's part.She raised her leg and kicked him, then turned around, pulling the blanket away, her back clearly showing a trace of resentment.Westley didn't mind, pulling both her and the blanket into his arms.He chuckled softly in her ear."Your reaction right now makes me think you're dissatisfied."The deliberate pause was even more teasing.Jordan immediately elbowed him.But because she was tangled in the blanket, she couldn't put much strength into it.The muffled laugh of the man in her ear clearly mocked her, making her even angrier.Her emotions flared up too quickly, and tears started falling.Westley felt the wetness on his arm, it was hot.He quickly sat up.He knew about her tendency to lose control of her tears, but seeing her cry still made his heart ache.He gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eye with his thumb and whis
