Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 1390
Westley knew why Zachary specifically mentioned these two things.Once the wedding was held, the whole world would know they were married.And once they had the child, he and Jordan would be very closely connected.Even if the hidden matters came to light, and there were issues between the Howard and Jackson families, it wouldn't be easy for Jordan to distance herself from him.But Westley didn't want to do that.He still needed to ask Jordan, and if she wanted to know, he would give her the choice.He had never really given her the power to choose before, he had always been forcing her into decisions."I'll notify you."Zachary didn't get involved in this matter and didn't say anything else.He first took Jordan and Westley back home.When they got out of the car, Jane said to Jordan, "Don't overthink it, this is all caused by the previous generation, it has nothing to do with us. If you keep thinking about it, aren't you punishing yourself for someone else's mistakes?"Jor

Even though they were just eating and talking normally, something still felt off.Westley picked up the bathrobe that had fallen on the floor and helped her put it on.He said, "I’ll get Carter to check on you, prescribe some medicine, and let you rest for a couple of days."Jordan hugged him tightly and whispered something in his ear.The man’s body stiffened. He closed his eyes and forced himself to say, "You need to calm down.""I know what I’m doing."Westley’s Adam’s apple moved very slowly, and when he spoke again, his voice had already turned hoarse."Jordy, be good. Let go first."Jordan shifted a little.Westley suddenly gripped her slender waist tightly. "Don’t move..."Jordan stepped right into the danger zone. "Are you... not able to—mm!"In the past two days, she had barely left the bed.Even her meals were brought upstairs by Westley and fed to her bite by bite.Two days later, Buck arrived at the villa.Westley asked Jordan, "Do you want to listen in?"Jor
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 1392
Buck had figured it out too—after all, his boss was so clever.But since he hadn’t been stopped, he continued speaking."Ms. Clara, the second daughter of the Jackson family—Mrs. Howard’s mother—was not Calvin’s biological daughter. She was the child of Margaret and Lok. This matter could have been kept secret, but as Ms. Clara grew older, she began to resemble Lok more and more. He secretly did a paternity test and, upon learning she was his daughter, wanted to bring her to his side. Calvin wasn’t stupid—he just pretended not to know. Eventually, he allowed them to secretly maintain contact, but he wouldn’t permit Ms. Clara to go to the Milton family. But because she was the child of the woman he loved, and she began to resemble him more and more, Lok tried to negotiate with Calvin to claim her. At that time, Ms. Clara was at a rebellious age. She felt closer to Lok and wanted to resolve the conflict between the families. But she failed, and Calvin sent her abroad to study. Later, M

"Everything that happened afterward, you already knew. There was nothing left hidden."Westley told Buck to leave first.He lit a cigarette, the white smoke blurring his expression.Carter eventually got up to fetch his bottle of wine and poured him a glass."Have a drink. Let it all sink in."Westley took the glass and glanced at it.Carter asked, "What is it?""I feel like you’ve changed after seeing Mandy this time."Although his face was still cold and expressionless, there was a subtle gentleness in his tone.Carter took a sip of the wine. "Some changes have to be made. If I remain the same as before, she’ll never talk to me again."Westley was blunt. "The problem between you two isn’t your personality."Carter didn’t bother arguing. He asked, "So how are you planning to tell your wife about all this?""I’m not telling her." Westley finished the wine in one gulp. "She said she didn’t want to hear it. Besides, it’s not really a feud between our families. The previous ge

Westley patted her hand. "Dinner’s ready."Jordan rubbed her cheek against his back. "Westley, let’s have a child."The man’s body stiffened. He asked, "What?"Jordan only dared to say it once. She let go of him and asked, "What are we eating?"Westley had excellent hearing, but he didn’t bring it up. Instead, he followed along and said, "All your favorites."When the dishes were served, Westley also peeled an egg for her.The two didn’t say much, but things weren’t as awkward as they had been the past few days."What do you want to do after dinner?"Jordan thought for a moment. "Nothing in particular. As for work... I’ve already finished all the special shoots for this season and month. But you, as my assistant, don’t you have anything scheduled?"Westley said, "There is something, but in your current condition, it's not suitable for you to go filming."Jordan counted the days. "It’s almost the New Year, right? We haven’t celebrated the New Year for four years.""What do yo

"In the end, it was only my wife who suffered."When Westley heard the coldness in his voice, he asked, "What are you planning to do?"Zachary still needed to ask Jane for her opinion.But in this matter, even if he didn’t ask, it wouldn’t make a difference."Let it rot in my stomach."Westley raised an eyebrow slightly. "That’s not like how you usually handle things. Even if you keep it to yourself, you won’t let the Jackson family feel at ease."Zachary sneered. "What good would it do you if I exposed this whole thing? Besides, how many more years can he live?"Westley had a feeling Zachary already had a plan. After a pause, he said, "We’re not going back for the New Year. You handle it however you see fit."Zachary hung up the phone.But he had it on speaker.Because Jane was worried about Jordan and Westley, she also wanted to listen in.After tossing the phone aside, he pulled her into his arms.His hand gently patted her back, silently comforting her.After a while,

Jordan looked at the smile tugging at the corner of his lips and felt he was up to something."I can change by myself.""Are you sure?""I am!""Alright." Westley stepped out of the changing room. "I'll wait for you at the door. If you need help, just call me."She had already thrown herself at him once a few days ago.There was no way she would do it again today.But the riding outfit really wasn't easy to change into.She struggled with it for a long time and still couldn't get it right. In the end, she gave up. Who said she had to wear this to ride a horse anyway?She wasn't a professional. She was just there to have fun.She tossed the riding outfit aside and grabbed her own clothes. Suddenly, she was hugged from behind."Westley! You pervert!"Westley lowered his head and kissed her on the shoulder."How am I a pervert when you’re my wife?"Jordan didn't argue with him. She knew she couldn't win.She struggled. "Let go..."She thought it would be difficult, but sur

"Do whatever you like. I'll be in the study—you can come find me anytime."Jordan threw a pillow at him. "Get out."She didn't believe for a second that he truly had nothing to do and was just spending every day with her, acting like her assistant.Westley had a meeting.It didn't last long, but by the time it ended, it was already dark.After getting the medicine, he returned to the bedroom and ran into Buck.Buck came in and said, "Sir, everything's pretty much ready.""Okay."Westley gave a brief reply and entered the bedroom.He had been worried she'd be afraid—but instead, she was sprawled on the bed, legs swinging, happily playing a game.Westley sat on the edge of the bed and gave her waist a light pat."Didn't you say the castle would be scary at night?"Jordan was fully focused on the game and didn't even look at him.Westley let out a helpless laugh.He had worried for nothing.Not wanting to disturb her, he went to take a shower.By the time he came out, she

Jonathan almost spit out the tea he was drinking."You have principles now?""Not the right time to talk nonsense."Westley. "Do you always talk in a way that pokes others' pain points?"Jonathan smiled for a moment. "If you've done it, don't be afraid of people talking about it."Westley didn't want to continue the conversation and stood up to leave.He went to the kitchen to find Jordan and found her eating ravioli."Didn't you say you'd help?" Westley sat next to her. "How come you're eating secretly? Give me a bite?"Jordan guarded the food. "It’s in the kitchen. There's still plenty in the pot.""But I want to eat from your bowl.""But I don't want to give you any."Westley laughed. "Okay."But while Jordan took a bite of the ravioli, he kissed her.Jordan's eyes widened as she felt the ravioli in her mouth being stolen away."You're disgusting."Westley smiled. "Sweet."Jordan couldn't eat anymore and pushed the remaining ravioli to him. "I'm not eating anymore."

Now that she had remarried him, this was also her home, and there was no need to tidy up anymore."Really?" Westley turned her around. "It'll be troublesome to go to another room and come back for something later.""What do you mean?" Jordan felt like she didn't understand his words today. "Just spill it already."Westley nodded seriously. "Okay, I'll spill it. We're married now. From now on, when we come back here, we'll sleep together. If you don't tidy up and pack your things, there won't be anything for you in my room."Jordan understood. She suddenly smiled and patted his shoulder. "Who said that after marriage, we have to sleep in the same bed? If there's nothing of mine in your room, I'll sleep in my own room. It's not like you only have one room."Westley laughed. "Okay, you're being naughty now."Jordan replied, "You become like the people you spend time with."She finished speaking and ran off.She went to the kitchen to see Miranda and offer to help.Miranda told he
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 1416
"What is there to prepare?" Westley sat down with Jordan. "They're not strangers."Miranda gave her a glare and handed Jordan some fruit. "Look at me, still wearing my pajamas...""Jordy, it's not that I don't care about you. It's just that Westley didn't say anything, and you two... we also didn't want to ask too much. Wait for me to change into something proper. What would you like to eat? I'll personally cook for you."Jordan quickly stopped her. "No need, we're so familiar with each other already, Mom."Miranda froze, then after a long pause, she grasped Jordan's hand, wiping her tears as she said, “Okay.”Jordan gave Westley a look, and he handed her a tissue.She wiped Miranda's tears. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you worry.""It's our fault," Miranda patted her hand. "We never thought that Westley would do that.""You two grew up together and had a great relationship. We always thought, when we're gone, he'll be able to love you and take care of you well on our beha
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 1415
Jordan asked him, "You finished so quickly?""Why does it sound like you're unhappy that I came over?""No, it's just that your meetings used to take quite a long time."Westley casually ruffled her hair.Jordan wasn't happy. "You messed up my hairstyle!"Westley chuckled softly. "You're just had your hair down. Is it even styled?""You don't understand.""Alright, I don't understand."Westley pulled her back to the bedroom.Jordan wasn't happy. When they were going upstairs, he carried her back to the room."Do you really like kids that much?"Jordan put her hands against him to stop him from getting any closer."What, can't I like kids now? Henry and Sparrow are so cute."Westley caught both her hands and pinned them down. "Then should we have one too?"Jordan struggled. "Who said I want to have one with you?""Then who do you want to have one with?"Jordan kicked him with her leg. "Get off me."Westley bent down and asked, "Afraid of the pain?""Yes." Jordan was pi

Jordan didn't really know—she had only come here to escape.Now, there wasn't much left to escape from.If it weren't for wanting to spend a few more days with Jane and the others, she would have already been ready to go back to work.Westley saw that she had been thinking for a long time without speaking and asked, "So, are you coming with me to the theme park, or playing with those two kids?"Jordan almost forgot—there were two adorable children here."Then I'll play with the kids.""What, still think I'm too old?"Jordan gave him a playful glare. "Stop bringing that up all the time. Don't think you can keep me trapped with that topic."Westley asked, "Then why not come to the theme park with me?""Weren't you the one who gave me the choice?"Jordan gave a soft snort. "If you only want one answer, then next time give me just one option.""Alright." Westley looked at her with eyes full of affection. "Whatever you say goes.""I've got a meeting—you go play with the kids."

It felt very unreal.It felt like she was dreaming."Will you marry me?""Huh?"Jordan was completely dazed, thinking she would hear him say a lot of touching words.But in the end, all she heard were just those simple words."Are you... talking?"Westley nodded. "Yes. Will you marry me?"For a moment, Jordan truly wanted to throw the flowers at his face.But then she remembered her conversation with Charlotte.And she felt that Charlotte had a point.They were already married, yet Westley still wanted to give her a sense of ceremony.Even if he didn't say any romantic lines, she wouldn't be able to refuse his proposal now.With that thought in mind, she reached out her hand."I will!"Westley slipped the ring onto her finger, stood up, and hugged her.Jordan heard him whisper softly in her ear. "I'm really nervous. It's my first time doing something like this, so I don’t know what to say—I was afraid I'd cry. Give me a little grace. Whatever you want to hear, I'll say
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 1412
"Okay."Jordan started to feel something was off. "Charlotte, I remember you didn't like the smell of cigarettes. Didn't Frank stop smoking after being with you?"Charlotte responded calmly, "Not really. If I didn't like the smell of cigarettes, I wouldn't have gotten along with Jane for so many years. She was already smoking when I first met her. Also, Frank didn't stop smoking just because he was with me. It was only later, when I was pregnant and feeling unwell, that he stayed by my side and simply forgot about it. Men have a lot of work pressure too. If he smokes now and out of my sight, I think I should try to understand that. That's what being a couple means."Jordan was persuaded. "Yeah, I guess you’re right. There should be mutual understanding. I do act a bit spoiled sometimes."Charlotte said, "When I talk about understanding, I don't mean compromise. If there's something you really can't accept, it still needs to be discussed between the two of you."Jordan was confused

"Wow."Jane and Charlotte stood at the doorway, watching with great interest.It was quite the appetizing show.Zachary and Frank, on the other hand, weren't interested, and headed to the yard to set up the grill.Frank chatted casually with him. "He's been proving himself for two days now—why do you keep poking at his age? He even made you bleed."Zachary said, "I did it for the greater good. Look at them now, kissing like they can't bear to part."Frank cocked his brows and said nothing in response.Jordan overheard Jane and Charlotte's voices.Her face turned completely red from embarrassment.She couldn't push Westley away, so she had no choice but to bite him.When he relaxed his grip, she took the chance to run.She didn't even dare glance at Jane and Charlotte at the door.Back in her room, she buried herself under the blanket.So embarrassing.Downstairs, Jane and Charlotte, satisfied with the show, headed to the yard.Westley, meanwhile, went upstairs.Sure eno

'What was that?'Jordan truly had nothing in her head but confusion.She had just been teased by Jane outside.She thought that since she hadn't come downstairs in the past couple of days, everyone already knew—Westley was... not impotent.Why was Frank saying things like that now?"Frank, what are you talking about?""Nothing."Frank left the kitchen and sat next to Charlotte.After Jane finished tending to Zachary's wound, she even fed him some food.The man held his wife in his arms and asked in a low voice, "All your friends are bringing their husbands food. Why aren't you doing the same?"Charlotte smiled. "That's because Jane took a bite and didn't like it. She thought it would be wasteful, so she gave it to Zachary."Frank played with her hand and asked, "Is there nothing you don't like to eat?""Nope."In the kitchen—Jordan sensed that Westley was upset. She reached out and hugged him, asking, "Did Zachary and the others tease you?"Westley finished handling wha
