Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 142
Jane quickly glanced at me, a hint of ambiguity almost overflowing. I felt puzzled, but seeing Jack's calm demeanor, I was sure it wasn't what Jane was implying.Moreover, Jack had someone he liked, for over 20 years. How could he possibly have any feelings for someone like me who had just divorced?Jack refilled my drink. "No rush to decide, take your time.""Okay." I still felt a bit overwhelmed inside. After all, it was a brand I had admired for so many years, suddenly within reach, it felt like a dream.After dinner, Jane used the excuse of another appointment to ask Jack to drive me home. In the car, I said helplessly, "I'm bothering you again.""What bother? I'm just being soft-hearted and lending a hand." Jack teased with a smile.I chuckled softly. "You didn't even let me pay for the meal, th...".Before I finished, he pretended to answer a phone call and went to pay the bill.His long, slender fingers rested on the steering wheel, exuding a natural elegance. His gaze

I hesitated for a moment, glanced into the bag, and saw two exquisite velvet boxes inside. They contained the jade pendant Grandpa had prepared for the child.A wave of intense pain swept through me. Coldly, I spoke, "This was something Grandpa prepared for the child. Since the child is no more, it should be returned to you."He glared at me. "This was given to you by Grandpa. If you want to return it, return it to Grandpa."I realized he was completely unreasonable and impossible to reason with. I pursed my lips. "Ryan, I can accept other things, but this is too precious."He blurted out, "It's given to you, not to someone else."I couldn't help but clutch my hand tightly, suppressing the strange feeling in my heart, trying to remain rational. "Between us, we only lack one divorce certificate to settle things clearly.""Settle things?" Ryan's indifferent eyes subtly raised. He looked at me calmly.I involuntarily panicked for a moment. "Yes.""What do you want to settle?" He l

"Is it not her? Could it be me?" I met his gaze without flinching, asking each word deliberately.To say that I had no expectations would be a lie. I could deceive anyone, but I couldn't deceive my own heart. I still hadn't let go.Even though I knew perfectly well that there was no possibility for us to continue, I still hoped that over these years, he had liked me even for a brief, fleeting moment.Eight years. How many of those would I get in a life time?His dark eyes were like whirlpools, as if trying to pull me in. His voice carried a mesmerizing power, "If I said yes, would we not get divorced then? How about it?"I froze, then froze again, for a long time, looking at him as soberly as I could, shaking my head."Ryan, even if you liked me at some point, it would only prove that all these years weren't entirely about me loving you. I might have been slightly more willing. But this... isn't a reason for us to continue.""All these years?""Yes, all these years."Suddenly,

Upon hearing those words, I briefly spaced out.This question, aside from Jane asking me something similar, I had never really asked myself.Would I?If that day, another boy had saved me and the one I woke up to see was someone else, would I have fallen for that boy?Or if Ryan had never helped me, would I still have liked him to this extent? Then what would my feelings over these years amount to?My thoughts were in disarray. I dared not continue thinking and gently shook my head, "Ryan, I can't give you an answer."Ryan's usual nonchalant demeanor almost couldn't hold up. His jawline tightened, and he slowly sighed. "Fine.""Is what I once liked you for important?"I didn't understand why he seemed somewhat disappointed. We had already reached the end of our relationship, so why pursue what it started with?Ryan avoided my gaze, hurriedly stubbed out his cigarette, and evaded the topic, "What you said, I promise you.""What?"I was briefly stunned, then realized, "About J

"What are you so proud of?!"She was so angry that her chest heaved up and down rapidly, her eyes bursting with a vicious light. "Charlotte, you forced me. You told him to kick me out of the country, didn't you? When the day the position of Mrs. Frost into my hands, I'll make sure that you get the hell out of Jelaston!""Drive you out of the country?"I was somewhat surprised.I thought, Ryan despite the promise, would just decide to not marry Jessica. I didn’t expect him to completely get rid of her."Stop pretending! Ryan is so good to me, if not because of you, how could he be so heartless! I'm telling you, I'm not going to leave the country, so just give up!""You go talk to him. I’m not the one who wants to send you abroad."After saying that, I was about to pour a glass of water to drink, when I heard Jessica's gloomy voice ring out."I caused the death of your child, you especially hate me, right?"Jessica suddenly laughed, her eyes full of malice.My heart felt like i

Jessica's eyes were full of smiles!I suddenly understood what she meant, without a hint of panic, slowly withdrew my hand, and under Ryan's dismayed eyes, I said, "What you see is what you see."Anyway, when had he ever listened to my explanation.What was more, he now also saw with his own eyes. It was no use explaining.In the past, I would still be worried about some unimportant things, whether he would think that I was ruthless or something like that, but now, I don't even care anymore.The most important thing was that I was completely disappointed.It didn’t matter at all what he thought of me.Jessica covered her wound, her face was full of tears. ''Ryan, save me... it hurts so much! She suddenly stabbed me... with a knife like she was crazy."She was 30 years old, but still a bitch.I sneered. "What are you crying for, isn't that your purpose? Purpose accomplished, you should be happy."Winding me up, timing Ryan’s arrival and forcing me to do all of this.I had to

"Gary?"Ryan's voice turned terrifyingly cold. "What are you standing there for? Take her to the hospital!"Jessica was having a mental breakdown. Before she could say anything, Gary carried her straight into the elevator!He made sure all the way, not to let any blood drip on the ground.I watched them leave, feeling like I could burn a hole through their backs. My chest continued to heave violently."Charlotte, let's wash our hands first, okay?"Ryan seemed afraid to provoke me further, his tone gentle as if coaxing a child.I looked at him and asked hesitantly, "Aren't you angry at me for hitting her?"This wasn't Ryan's usual style.He should have defended Jessica unequivocally, standing opposed to me. That would have been right.He sighed, took my hand, led me to the restroom, turned on the faucet, checked the water temperature, then positioned me under the faucet, applied hand soap, and carefully washed my hands."Doesn't your hand hurt after hitting her like that?"I

Ryan seemed helpless, looking at me as he explained gently, "She also lost her child at that time. Even if it goes to court, it won't achieve the result you want.""Oh..." I nodded absentmindedly, feeling like I had been completely drained. "So, my child died in vain, is that it?"Perhaps afraid that I would get agitated, he hurriedly reassured, "No, there are still many ways...""What ways?" I smirked. "Sending her abroad, any country I choose?""Okay." He breathed a sigh of relief, nodding without much thought.I looked at his flawless features and smiled, "Then send her to Southeast Astia, like Manya, Vetal, Laost... Oh, you can send her there, but you’re not allowed to give her any living expenses.""Charlotte...""Is it not possible?" I saw the trace of disbelief flash across his handsome face, but I insisted on it.I insisted that Jessica pay that little price.He frowned. "It's chaotic there. She..."Before he could finish his sentence, his phone in his pocket rang. He

Rhianna blinked her beautiful purple eyes and said coquettishly, "Yes, Westley, are you going to increase the bid? If you don't, the jewelry Mrs. Howard wants will belong to me. But it’s a fair competition, don’t get mad, okay?"Westley curved his lips, a strong and obvious hint of sarcasm in his expression."I could give it to you..."Jordan suddenly looked up, almost thinking she had misheard.But then she realized, Westley was someone with a deep sense of revenge.It was likely that he wasn’t increasing the bid out of desire, but to set a trap for Rhianna.Sure enough, the next words she heard were his cold, indifferent tone."400 million and 200 thousand. It’s not that I look down on you. It is possible for you to come up with 200 thousand dollars, but where are you going to get the 400 million from? Will you sell your family’s castle, or pull all the investments out of your business?"Rhianna wasn’t foolish. She sensed something was wrong and tried to get Westley to raise

"I don't like it." Jordan threw the paddle she was holding at him and stood up, intending to leave.Out of sight, out of mind.Westley grabbed her arm. "This is your mother's heirloom. You really don't want it?""What?"Jordan's head was about to explode. There had been too many shocks tonight.She still didn’t even know who her mother was.And yet, Westley knew that this was her mother’s heirloom?"Stop making things up. I don’t like this..."Westley still didn’t plan to reveal her true identity.Nathan was intentionally playing this hidden identity game.He was playing along.Besides, whether Jordan was from the Jackson family or not didn’t matter to him.As long as she was his, that was all that mattered."You’ll regret not bidding. Really, are you sure you don’t want it?" he said with a cryptic tone, guiding her subtly.He had already said that Jordan could bid on anything she liked.Yet here she was, hesitating.Jordan stared at the pear blossom jewelry on the stag

Her hand, resting on her lap, slowly clenched into a fist.Westley admired the change in her expression, silently smirking.Rhianna watched the whole scene and asked Westley in a foreign language, "Why does it feel like your wife doesn’t want to talk to you? Westley, did you intentionally arrange someone to act with you to reject me?"Westley answered indifferently, "If it were acting, wouldn’t the person I arranged cooperate with me? I made her unhappy before we came here, so it's normal for her to give me the cold shoulder. I brought her here to apologize and make her happy."Jordan couldn’t understand what they were saying and didn’t care. She was looking at the auction booklet.She was drawn to a set of pear blossom jewelry displayed in the catalog.She didn’t know why, but it felt as if there was some kind of connection.If the set wasn’t too expensive, she might try to bid on it.Her entire fortune should be enough, right?Westley’s gaze shifted over and saw her thumb ge

"I want to explain."Westley embraced her, lowering his head to whisper, as though they were deeply in love."I won’t repeat the same mistakes again as before, and I won’t make the same mistake multiple times."Jordan shrank her neck, trying to avoid him.His warm breath brushed against her ear, it was ticklish.But she couldn’t break free from him, so she could only try to move away as much as possible."Let go of me first."Westley lowered his head and kissed her ear."Since you’re here, let’s finish what we started."Jordan was unwilling. "You handle your own problems, don’t drag me into your competition with other women."Westley stared at her for a moment, not loosening his arm but pulling her closer."She already holds a grudge against you. It’s safer for you to stay by my side. Oh, by the way, just so you know, she’s a princess."Jordan slapped the cream cake in her hand right onto his face.She couldn’t hide her emotions, anger clearly written on her face.She wan

Jordan finally finished planting all the saplings and now all she had to do was wait for them to bloom.But she probably wouldn’t be able to see the flowers. She hoped the pear trees would grow wildly here."Mrs. Howard." Buck brought her a dress. "Mr. Howard said that there is a party tonight and would like to request your company."Jordan refused without hesitation.Buck added, "There’s also an auction, with many fun and interesting items. Don’t you want to buy gifts for your sister and little nephew?"Mentioning her sister and nephew made Jordan waver.Jane liked interesting things, and Jordan couldn’t easily go out on her own to gather them.And now, she had the opportunity.But she didn’t want to attend the event with Westley."Mrs. Howard, if I were you, I would go."Jordan ignored him. He was on Westley’s side.Buck’s mouth twitched, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "When Mr. Howard broke your heart, you should have asked for more money from him, to get revenge and s

Carter had hit a wall at every turn.He had also been poked at his sore spot, and his long-established cold and distant persona was on the verge of crumbling."Forget about Zachary and the others, after all, they’re not very close. But how long have I known you? You won't help? I even helped you persuade Jordan."Westley didn’t fall for it. "As for you and Mandy, no one can help. I can’t bring her to Nelana now. You can try convincing Zachary, maybe there’s still a chance."Wasn’t that just stating the obvious?Carter said, "If I could get Zachary's help, would I be telling you all this?"Westley replied, "That’s your problem. Who told you to force her? Back then, she was just a young girl, barely an adult. It’s normal for her to be afraid of you and find you disgusting."A flash of sadness appeared in Carter's eyes."I was just too angry back then. It wasn’t intentional...""I’ve said that too." Westley put down the binoculars. "You saw my outcome. Obviously, it was useless."

"Jane, don't argue with Zachary. This time, I am staying here voluntarily," said Jordan."I’ve made a bet with Westley, and there will be a resolution in the end."Jane nodded. "I can let you handle this matter yourself, but you have to promise me that you won’t let yourself get hurt, and you won’t just keep sacrificing yourself. If it becomes unbearable, give it up. I’ll always be here to support you."Jordan nodded. "Okay."The two sisters chatted for a long time, and only when Jane started to feel sleepy did they end the video call.Jordan handed the phone to Buck and closed the door to her room.Buck was left standing there.He felt like he had been completely abandoned, as if everything around him had fallen apart.Anyway, as a sandwich in the middle, he was already crushed, so it didn’t matter anymore.For several days, Jordan got up to eat, and the food was always food prepared by the chef.She hadn’t seen Westley around.She couldn’t really say how she felt. She just

"He is faking his psychological illness," Jordan rebutted.Even if he had one, it had nothing to do with her.Even she didn’t have any psychological issues, how could someone with such a strong mind like Westley have any psychological issues?He shouldn’t blame her for everything.Having seen enough, she turned around and walked away.But Carter called her back. "He once took good care of you, and you're going to be this heartless?"Jordan wasn’t familiar with Carter. He was usually a man of few words with a cold personality.If she greeted him, he wouldn’t respond. If she talked too much, she might get an icy look in return.She really didn’t expect that one day, he would try to mediate between her and Westley."You should focus more on your own matters," she said.His own love life was a mess, so what right did he have to interfere in hers?Jordan’s emotions were written all over her face, she didn’t hide them.Carter could guess how she was feeling just by looking at her

Jane didn’t care about Westley. Even if he was feeling it now, it was too late for regrets.If he hadn’t acted the way he did, Jordan wouldn’t have suffered so much.Moreover, he had once ignored her cries for help, so now he shouldn’t blame Jordan for his injuries.“How’s my sister?” she asked.Roy replied, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Collins, Ms. Hickey is doing fine. Except for the lack of freedom, there are no other restrictions.”“When can I have a video call with her?”Roy thought for a moment. “Since Mr. Howard is now delirious, I can make the arrangements.”“Thank you,” said Jane.“It’s no trouble, it’s my job.”After hanging up the phone, Jane looked at Zachary and asked, “What do you think?”Zachary moved the phone a little farther away to avoid radiation.After finishing the massage, he helped her lie down and said, “I’m thinking what you’re thinking.”Jane gave him a sidelong glance. “You’re slick.”Zachary smirked and bent down to kiss her forehead.“Get some rest.”
