Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 18
Even though there was a layer of fabric between us, my waist felt like it was burning. I was frozen, unable to move as if possessed by a ghost, but thankfully, my mind was clear. "We've been very clear about this. I don't want a third person involved in our marriage.""I'm sorry." The man rested his head against my back, his voice muffled.Would my heart soften? Of course, it would.No one could just easily erase several years of feelings overnight. I really wanted to give him another chance. But everything that had happened recently kept coming back to me. Would I choose him or myself?I sighed. "Ryan, you always knew you were in the wrong, but you kept repeating the same mistakes. It's meaningless."This time, I chose myself. I had chosen him for seven years, and that was enough.Ryan remained silent for a long time, not saying a word."Let go, we've reached the end of the road." I had never imagined that I would say such cold-hearted words to Ryan.What was unrequited love?

The renovations began shortly after he gave me the keys to the house. I had to keep an eye on the renovations, so I would be out early and back late. He never asked about it.Even if I returned late, at most, he would just say, "You're back late," or, "Looks like the Design Department is quite busy." There was never a follow-up question about where I had been or what I had been doing. It was not within his scope of concern. We had reached the point of divorce, and I didn't want to tolerate anything anymore. "Maybe it was when you were with Jessica."Sure enough, I saw a trace of stiffness on his face. It made me feel much better."I haven't been in contact with her lately.""There’s no need to explain to me." I felt it was unnecessary now. "As long as you're willing, once the divorce proceedings are done, you can marry her anytime.""Why are you speaking in such a tone? You make it sound like we’re strangers" Ryan furrowed his brows slightly, which made him look a little helples

I never realized he was so vengeful. I could only follow behind him reluctantly. Before I could explain anything, William smiled and said, "I heard from Brenda that Charlotte has moved out?""Yes, Grandpa." I had no choice but to admit it. If Grandpa got angry, I would have to find a way to please him.But Grandpa didn't look like he was going to lose his temper at all. Instead, he glared angrily at Ryan. "You can’t even keep an eye on your wife!""Come on, Grandpa. It was her decision to move out. What could I do?""If she moved out, don’t you know to go after her?""You're just like your father, utterly crooked." Grandpa was exasperated."Well he got that from you, didn’t he?" Ryan chuckled."You brat!" William grabbed a teacup as if to throw it at Ryan, then set it down again. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm hungry, let's eat."The meal was quite enjoyable. Grandpa kept offering me food, and my plate was almost overflowing. "You should eat more, look at you, you

"Don't worry, Grandpa." I placed some food on William's plate and said gently, "He can't bully me."After all, we were about to divorce soon anyway.After dinner, Ryan played chess with William in the backyard while I leisurely cooked coffee on the side. Ryan's chess style was cunning and ruthless, and after making a move that William couldn't counter, William glared at him. "Are you treating me like an outsider? Leaving me with no way out?""Alright." Ryan chuckled, then indeed eased off.William was pleased, laughing heartily, and said meaningfully, "Remember, family and outsiders are not the same."I handed Grandpa a cup of coffee. "Grandpa, have some coffee.""Hmm." Grandpa took a sip. "If you two can always get along so well, then I'll be able to hold my great-grandchild soon!"My heart fluttered, and I instinctively placed my hand on my belly. Seeing William's aging face, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of compassion. If there hadn't been those barriers and issues betwee

'What does that mean? Is he suspecting that I'm cheating on him before we're divorced? Well, he is indeed that kind of person,' I thought.I couldn't be bothered to explain and just replied blandly, "A good friend.""What friend?""Ryan." I smiled softly and said gently, "Dead people don't pry into matters."Since he was willing to play the role of a dead ex-husband, he should be professional about it.Ryan nearly burst out laughing, his tongue pressed against his cheek as he chuckled. "Alright."When we arrived at the graveyard and got out of the car, I headed straight up the stairs towards the hill. Seeing that Ryan didn't follow, I had to turn back and wait for him. As I turned around, I noticed he was carrying a basket of yellow and white chrysanthemums that he had prepared earlier, and I couldn't help but be a little taken aback.I pursed my lips. "Thank you.""Thank me for what? It's something I should do," he replied calmly.When he caught up with long strides, we walke

Otherwise, the Frost Group wouldn't have ended up directly in Ryan's hands."What about you? Are you happy?" I looked up and asked hesitantly."In these three years of being married to you?" He forced a smile, sighed, and continued, "I'm very happy."His answer made me want to cry even more.Was that regret?Clearly, if it weren't for Jessica, we could have grown old together.On the way back, neither of us spoke. We silently understood that saying more wouldn't help.He couldn't truly change the situation, and I couldn't pretend everything was fine.It was better to let go, while we still weren't too repulsive of each other.With the short days and long nights of Autumn, through the car window, his figure was bathed in a golden light by the setting sun."I'll walk you up." When we reached the Lake Garden, he spoke before I could. I didn't refuse.We went upstairs together, standing at the door, I pursed my lips. "I'm home now, you should go back.""Alright." Ryan nodded li

Jack either didn't catch the implication, or he didn't want to dwell on the matter. He just smiled. "No big deal. Why don't you guys go wash your hands? Dinner is ready."Jack was also a great cook, and the table was filled with dishes that were great in looks, fragrance, and taste. It would make anyone's mouth water.Both Tom and Jane couldn't stop praising Jack.I couldn't help but compliment, "Jack, your dishes look amazing!""Go ahead and have a bite. See if it suits your taste."Jack brought out the last two dishes from the kitchen, and placed a plate of spicy shrimp in front of me, with a warm smile. "You should love this."I was a little surprised.Except for Jane, everyone assumed my taste was as bland as Ryan's. However, before I could say anything, Ryan chimed in coldly, "She can't handle spicy food. Although you were quite close during college, you still don't understand her taste...""Mr. Frost." Jane tried to defend me with a smile on her face. "Who have you been p

The two of them also prepared gifts for me. Jack also handed me an exquisite gift box. "Hope you like it.""Thank you, Jack," I thanked him with a smile.Seeing a delicately unique dress inside the box, I was a bit surprised and looked at him, "Did you design this?""Yeah, just this one." Jack smiled."Jack is so thoughtful!"After Jane finished praising them, she intentionally teased Ryan, "Mr. Frost, since you came to attend the housewarming party, I'm sure you brought a gift too, right?"I wanted to interrupt, but was stopped by Jane.Even before I stepped into the house, I didn't know they had prepared a housewarming party for me, so how could Ryan have prepared a gift in advance?Ryan fixed his dark eyes on me and reached into his suit pocket, taking out a velvet square box and placing it in front of me.He concealed the surge of emotions in his eyes, and the curve of his lips seemed shallow. "I couldn't find the opportunity to give it to you before, but it seems like now

"I can guess, but I'm not a god. I can't see through all your thoughts. Judging by the current situation, I'm afraid I guessed wrong."Jordan looked at him, her gaze calm and unwavering. But the words she spoke landed like a heavy hammer on his heart."Haven’t I been straightforward with you? The taxi driver from the airport to the hotel—wasn't he your man?"Jordan withdrew her gaze. "Westley, you don't actually want to know what I think. You just want a result—the result of me remarrying you and restoring our relationship to what it once was."Westley should have refuted her.But he had no way to.Because she was right.No matter the process—whether he pursued her or not—Whether she relented or not, it didn't matter to him.He only wanted that final outcome."So..." Jordan continued, "You will never change. If I take a step back, you'll take two steps forward. You have never truly thought from my perspective. Then again, you never think from anyone's perspective. Dictatorsh

A bonfire burned nearby.The entire area had been carefully arranged, making it feel less cold and more welcoming.At a glance, it no longer felt chilly at all."We'll stay here instead of climbing up and down every day."Westley suddenly appeared, interrupting her thoughts."There's everything you need—sleeping bags with electric blankets, hand warmers, and more. You won't feel cold. All you have to do is wait for the sea of clouds to appear."The weather was nice today. The sun shone down on her, and she didn't feel cold at all.But she hadn't expected all of this. His preparations surprised her."I checked the forecast. It'll rain tonight, but if we're lucky, we should see it tomorrow."After the earthquake, Jordan wasn't as obsessed with the sea of clouds as before.It was Oliver who had sent her pictures and videos, reigniting her desire.But the sea of clouds didn't appear every day.Since Oliver had just captured it, rain would likely prevent it from forming again.

Leanne didn't even dare to speak.This was indeed her mistake."Wahhh!"The baby in her arms suddenly started crying, and she scrambled to prepare the formula.She had originally arranged for professionals to take care of the child in Nelana, but now they were unable to return.Finding someone in Malak would take time.It would also expose more weaknesses that could be exploited.But she had never learned how to feed a baby.She had been too busy with other matters and simply hadn't had the time.She placed the baby on the bed and rushed to prepare the formula.Once it was ready, she hurried back—only to be stopped by Zachary."Shaking the bottle up and down—do you think it's alcohol? The baby will get gas. And you didn't even test the temperature? Are you trying to burn the baby's mouth?"His words weren't pleasant, but it was clear he was concerned for the child.Leanne felt ashamed. "I haven't learned yet..."Zachary took the bottle from her, first sterilizing it with

Westley sat on the sofa in his room.He let out several cold scoffs.A cigarette burned between his fingers, but he didn't smoke it.A dull pain throbbed in his back.It was as if he was angry with himself as well—his entire body exuded a cold aura.The assistant was initially worried about his condition and considered ordering food from the hotel.But then he wondered if Westley was waiting for news from Jordan.For a moment, he didn't know what to do.And he didn't dare step forward to ask.It wasn't until news came from Leanne that he finally approached."Sir, Miss Leanne and her child have been detained in Malak. It seems someone doesn't want her to bring the child back to the Howard family. Someone outside of the family wouldn't be able to do this—it must be someone from within the Howard family."Westley was a genius. No one could match his methods and strategies.When he took the position of the head of the Howard family, no one had any objections.Later, he handed

She immediately ordered takeaway.When the knock on the door came, she didn't think twice, assuming it was her food, and opened the door.Seeing Westley standing there, the good mood she had from expecting her meal instantly vanished.She tried to close the door right away.Westley blocked it with his foot. "It's fine if you're mad at me, but don't starve yourself.""I won't. I ordered takeaway.""I bought food for you—all your favorites, and it's fresh."He lightly shook the bags in his hands. "Don't let it sit too long, or it won't taste as good."Jordan still tried to shut the door. "Even if I starve to death, I won't eat the food you bought."Gurgle.Her stomach betrayed her with a loud growl.Westley held the food closer to her. "Eat."Jordan still refused. "I already ordered takeaway."Just then, the assistant appeared at the perfect moment. "Mrs. Howard, thank you for the takeaway. The few of us who followed Mr. Howard here haven't had time to eat yet. One of us eve

The driver nodded. "It's not too much. In a marriage, both sides should give and take, communicate, and make things clear. After all, no one can read minds and know exactly what the other person is thinking."Jordan said, "That's exactly why I gave him a chance to pursue me. If he could change and follow my expectations, I wouldn't be upset.""Then it's his fault." The driver glanced at Westley. "Young man, your ex-wife is a good girl. You should cherish her. If she wants something, just give it to her. If you don't want to split up, then there's nothing you can't overcome. There's no shame in a man lowering his head for his wife."Westley finally said, "Okay."At that moment, they arrived at their destination. He paid the fare and got out first, walking around the car to open the door for Jordan."Here you go, princess."Jordan got out from the other side instead.Westley didn't mind. He closed the door and cast a glance at the driver's seat.The driver called out awkwardly, "

"That's right!" Jordan seemed to have found an ally. "He's always so self-righteous. I gave him a chance to pursue me, but he didn't take it seriously at all. Every chance he gets, he tries to fool me, as if he can just erase everything he did wrong. He never truly apologized."There was one more thing she didn't say as she wiped away her tears.Her compromise didn't necessarily mean she would reconcile with him.It all depended on Westley's attitude.After all, he had made mistakes in the past.She took a step back and gave him the opportunity to pursue her.But he got ahead of himself, thinking she would inevitably take him back, that she was so hopelessly in love with him.So he treated her with a careless attitude.He kissed her even when she told him not to.And then he had the nerve to blame her, saying she was seducing him just because she reacted naturally.Physical reactions were uncontrollable, but that didn't mean she was willing!‘Hmph!’The driver glanced at We

Oliver pressed his lips together, but in the end, he didn't say anything."I still have things to do," said Jordan.She deleted all his contact information right in front of him.She didn't save the pictures of the sea of clouds he sent her."Oliver, if you need anything, contact Westley."After saying that, she hailed a taxi and left.Just as she got in and was about to close the door, someone suddenly squeezed in.Seeing that face, her expression darkened."Why are you here?"Westley closed the door and told the driver an address.Instead of answering her, he asked, "I heard we got remarried?"Jordan had only said those words to Oliver out of necessity.She hadn't expected Westley to overhear them.He must be feeling very smug now.If he had a tail, it would be wagging in the air."Westley, I think I told you before, too many negative points mean getting kicked out of the game." Jordan said coolly, "I was just rejecting someone, that's all. Don't take it seriously."W

Westley had just settled into Hulerwood.The family doctor was treating the wound on his back.The assistant came over to inform him that Jordan had gone to Zeara.And Oliver was still there.The assistant hesitated, unsure whether to speak or not, about to say something but stopping.Westley gave him a cold, sharp glance.The assistant finally spoke. "It seems like Mrs. Howard flew to Zeara after she got in contact with Oliver. It must be about the sea of clouds."Westley simply said, "Make the preparations, we're flying to Zeara.""But sir, you..."The assistant was met with Westley's cold gaze and quickly went to make the preparations.Jordan arrived in Zeara, and it was still before dawn.It was already deep autumn, and the morning dew was heavy. Zeara's weather was naturally cooler.But Hulerwood had been warm, and Jordan had come in a hurry, only wearing a thin jacket.Her thick coat was in her suitcase, but she didn't want to take it out.She quickly hailed a cab t
