Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 183
I lay back on the bed to read, but after who knows how long, I realized the book was upside down. I started feeling restless. I wondered what was wrong with him. If it was because of that gunshot... It should have been me.I closed the book in a fluster and headed to the balcony for some fresh air. At that moment, someone knocked on the door, accompanied by Albert's voice. "Mrs. Frost."My feet quickened involuntarily as I opened the door. "Albert, how is Ryan?""He has a fever."I breathed a slight sigh of relief, thinking it was just a cold or something similar. But then Albert continued, "It's from the infection caused by the gunshot a few days ago. He won't let anyone touch him now, nor will he take any medicine. You're divorcing, and I shouldn't have come to you. But he was calling out your name in his sleep..."I squeezed my hands. "I'll go see him."It was right and proper for me to do so, emotionally and logically.Due to the fever, Ryan's cheeks were flushed unnaturally
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 184
I stood dumbfounded for a moment, feeling both pity and resentment towards the man before me. I couldn't distinguish between his sincerity and pretense anymore. Nor did I want to bother figuring it out, because soon enough, we would have absolutely nothing to do with each other.I sniffed and forcibly shook Ryan awake. "Take your medicine before you sleep."Perhaps knowing it was me, he didn't resist when I brought the medicine to his lips. Instead, he cooperated.After taking the medicine, he obediently fell back asleep.His fever was frighteningly high, not something that would go away quickly.I asked Albert for ointment and applied it to the burns on Ryan's wrist. Only after his fever began to subside did I get up and return to my room.Perhaps because his health was generally good and he was still young, Albert came the next morning to inform me that his fever had completely gone.However, in the afternoon, several high-fashion dresses were delivered by the servants."Ryan

"Am I slandering him?"I could see the anger in his eyes.Seeing how easily he got angry now, I suddenly felt relieved both physically and mentally. "Isn't it true? Ryan, you told me that evidence is needed for everything."With that said, I walked towards the room.Behind me, the man suppressed his anger, uttering two words through gritted teeth, "Six o'clock.""Got it!"I didn't look back.The reason I agreed wasn't because of him, but because I thought of the scene where Jack was beaten in the ancestral hall that day. Suddenly, I hoped that if Sally embarrassed him again tonight, I could stand by him for once.For once, it was my turn to help him.After all, with the status of Mrs. Frost, it was unnecessary not to use it.After taking a shower and tidying up in my room, I put on an exquisite makeup.For such occasions, being elegant and dignified was enough. Therefore, when choosing a dress, I opted for an embroidered little black dress that ended at the knees, revealing

There was no need to turn around, just from the voice, I knew it was Jessica.Ryan calmly withdrew his arm. "Why are you here?""Dad brought me here."Jessica's voice was gentle. "Dad said I'll have to help you manage the Frost family in the future, so I came to get acquainted."I felt nothing but mockery inside. I heard Ryan's cold voice. "Then go find him. Why follow me around?""Why? Do you dislike me now?"Jessica pretended to be angry and then tried to please Ryan. "Oh, if it's about the photos from a few days ago, I'm not mad anymore. Why do you still care? Besides, it was Charlotte who cuckolded you, not me...""Jessica!" Ryan sternly interrupted, as if trying to shake her off.John appeared from nowhere, adopting his fatherly style. "I saw a few friends. I'll go say hello. Jessica hasn't been to such occasions before. Take care of her so no one bullies her."I walked away quickly, and I didn't hear what Ryan said as reply.It didn’t matter.Besides agreeing, what els

His eyes flickered slightly, looking ahead. "Yeah.""Why not call the police then?""Silly." Jack smiled. "Do you think the person celebrating her 80th birthday today would agree to me calling the police? Sometimes, achieving the same result can be done in different ways."His words were profound and difficult to fathom.I looked at him unexpectedly and laughed. "Jack, I think you're different from the Jack I knew before.""How come?" He paused for a moment, looking at me. "Or... do you not like me this way?""No!" I immediately denied, praising him. "I think you're even more capable and smart than the Jack I knew before. I really admire how thorough you are in your considerations."People like him and me had no one else to rely on.The only person we could rely on was ourselves.Moreover, he was in the wolf's den of the Renolds family. If he didn’t consider things thoroughly, he would only end up dead.He looked stunned for a moment, his eyes slightly brightened. "Really?"

A third party, and now a fourth party was being cursed at.Never did I expect that just as I burst into laughter, a stifled chuckle echoed not far behind me.Startled, I turned around and met a somewhat carefree and unruly face, with a hint of roguishness at the corners of his lips. He wore a leather jacket and casually leaned against the wall. "Mrs. Frost has quite unique tastes."Caught eavesdropping, I felt a bit guilty, but then dissipated it with a thought. "Aren't you the same?""I didn't want to interrupt your enjoyment.""Well, you've interrupted it now."I retorted, glancing at him. "Who are you, and how do you know about me?""Frank Smith." He told me his full name, abandoning his nonchalant demeanor and straightened up. "Mrs. Frost, goodbye."With that said, he walked away, grabbed the bun of the wealthy heiress, and sarcastically remarked, "Bethany, with your intelligence so dim that you can't even distinguish who the real Mrs. Frost is, you can forget about being a

Ryan grew increasingly displeased as he sneered. "You're quite concerned!""Oh, not really." I chuckled. "The fourth party who blocked Jessica today, that was her. Ryan, you can seamlessly transition from your first marriage to your second and third."His brows furrowed tightly. "Impossible.""How is it impossible? Don't you believe me? Ask Jessica yourself."After saying this, I realized that Jessica had been missing for half a day! I scanned the hall but didn't see my father-in-law, John, either.A thought flashed through my mind, and I quickly said, "I have a stomach ache, need to use the restroom!"With that, I clutched my stomach and hurried towards the direction of the restroom.The Renolds family's residence was vast. After finding no signs of movement in the restroom, I went straight to the backyard.The upper floors were reserved for the hosts; ordinary guests wouldn't go up there.They either left or were in some corner of the yard...The cold wind outside was bitin

In his tone, one could easily discern a hint of mockery.In the play of light and shadow, Frank leaned against the tree trunk, with scattered short hair falling over his forehead. The corners of his eyes curved upwards, exuding a carefree and unrestrained demeanor.Seeming completely oblivious, he said such things to someone of the opposite sex whom he had just met today, which was quite inappropriate.On such a cold and bleak night, why did he come out to the courtyard?I put away my phone, feeling somewhat guarded. "What are you doing here too?""Relax, I'm definitely not following you," Frank replied in a lazy voice. "It's too stuffy inside. I came out for some fresh air. Who knew people in Jelaston were so open.""It's just them."I always felt this man was not simple and not suitable for much interaction.I pursed my lips and got straight to the point. "Can you keep this matter to yourself for now?"I needed to achieve my goal with this matter. If he let it slip, all my p

At noon, only Whitney admitted that Jane was her sister-in-law. Jane even gave her a little gift.As for Caleb, neither Jane or Zachary cared if he admitted it or not.They thought Whitney had married Caleb for the sake of business.But just now, the two of them were so intimate, unable to part with each other, and even had a visible kiss mark that couldn't be hidden by a turtleneck.Given this relationship, wasn't it reasonable for Caleb to admit that they were his brother-in-law and sister-in-law?However, Caleb didn't really know them well, and they didn't know his personality either. Naturally, he couldn't just say that he recognized them as his in-laws.As for Westley, everyone knew him well.Besides, Westley had married Jane's younger sister, so he should be recognizing them as well."That’s unnecessary, Mr. Hilton," said Zachary. "Jordan is Jane's sister, both of them are from the Jackson family, though they've been separated for years due to some unfortunate circumstanc

"Since Mr. Hilton spoils his wife so much, how about you drink this wine for Whitney instead?"Caleb curved his lips into a smile, picked up his glass, and said, "You’re not going to double the amount if I drink for her, right, Mrs. Smith?"Before Charlotte could speak, Frank intervened.He placed one hand on Charlotte's shoulder, gently swirled his wine glass with the other, his posture relaxed and casual."Since Mr. Hilton is so interested, how can I not satisfy your requests on my turf?"He even brought Zachary into it. "Today is your big day, it's your stage, so set an example by taking the first round."Zachary glanced at him indifferently. He was pretending to be drunk today, but Frank hadn’t gone easy on him.He had originally planned to use water for his drinks, but Frank had switched it back to real alcohol.Now, he was starting trouble again."Oh!" Frank suddenly seemed to remember something. "I forgot, Mr. Collins drank a lot at lunch. I guess the alcohol in his sto

No one had called for dinner yet.She knew that Zachary and Jane were getting married today, so they might be staying in the room for a while.Caleb and Whitney were the ones they thought would be spending time together.So, she first knocked on Charlotte's room.She figured that they wouldn't necessarily want to spend time together right now.But she was wrong.No one answered Charlotte's door.However, Jane sent her a message saying she would get up soon.Then Charlotte also spoke up in their group chat.That was when she came to call Whitney.She guessed that the two should have finished their intimate act by now...Whitney, ignoring the discomfort in her body, used both hands and feet to escape from Caleb's embrace.She first responded to Jordan at the door and then rushed into the bathroom.Caleb came in shortly after.When his bare back pressed against her, Whitney was startled. "Why aren't you wearing any clothes?"Caleb held her and chuckled. "Honey, have you eve

Westley patted her on the head. "You're asking me about this because you want to help Mandy, or..."Mandy and Jordan hadn't been in touch much over the past few years, but before university, they had a pretty good relationship.When Mandy ran into trouble and went to the north, Jordan was furious.It took him several days to calm her down.But then, unexpectedly, his relationship with her had also fallen apart.Looking back now, he wondered if it was because Carter always treated him and maintained his health, but in doing so, perhaps he had also pushed the love out of his own life.Jordan shook her head. "I won’t interfere with other people’s relationships. I'm just asking out of curiosity."Westley didn't expect that but still told her about the situation."Caleb did indeed relent. He will give Carter a chance to meet with Mandy. And this was something, Zachary, Frank, and I, were all aware of but haven't spoken about it openly. Zachary is pretending to be drunk."Jordan had

Caleb and Zachary had a drink and then left with Whitney.Carter didn't even have time to drink with Zachary and hurriedly followed them.At that moment, Zachary's and the others were here to watch the show.But they didn't expect, when they turned the corner, to see Caleb pinning Whitney against the wall, kissing her.The man's brows and eyes were full of flirtatious charm, and he blocked Whitney's profile, glancing over.He asked, "What's wrong? Haven't you seen a married couple kiss?"There was no sign of Carter anywhere.They didn't want to interrupt the couple's private moment, so Westley and Frank escorted Zachary to his room, then went back to their own rooms with their wives.Jane pretended to wipe Zachary's face and was about to leave.But Zachary grabbed her and pulled her into the bed."Mr. Collins, you're getting more and more skilled at pretending to be drunk."Zachary opened his eyes and kissed her forehead.His hoarse voice carried a hint of weakness."Honey

Back then, when Rebecca caused such a scene, it was like she was a clown.And they hadn't suspected anything. Nathan and Jane looked very similar, and what Nathan said was very reasonable. The Jackson family had suffered a major blow, so they were certainly more meticulous about such matters.They wouldn't make such mistakes.The room was in an uproar, no one expected the situation to reverse like this.The reporters didn't even eat, quickly grabbing their cameras, sending out messages, and fighting for the headline.Nathan didn't say much more, handing the microphone to the emcee before walking off the stage.The emcee, amid the fading music, announced in a loud voice, "The ceremony is complete—"Petals rained down from above.Zachary lowered his head and kissed Jane, asking her, "Are you satisfied?"Jane glared at him, "Are you trying to get your mom killed from a heart attack for me?""That won't happen," replied Zachary. "I know what I'm doing. After all, she made a mista

But he didn't explain. Instead, he asked, "You're really cold-hearted. Your brother's crying like that, and you can't even manage to squeeze out a tear?"Whitney had always been emotionally detached.She did have some emotions stirring inside, but shedding tears was very difficult for her.She had never cried since she was little.Because crying meant getting punished.But before she could say anything, she heard Caleb whisper something flirtatious into her ear.She could remain emotionless and composed about almost everything.But she simply couldn't resist Caleb's teasing. The private things he said to her, especially in public, always caught her off guard.She cared about her image.Unlike him, a charming young man with plenty of experience in the art of flirting, who could easily say whatever he wanted in any setting.She didn't know how to rebut him and could only remain silent, her gaze fixed on the stage.She was more curious about why Nathan was getting up to speak.

The emcee announced that it was time for the couple to kiss. Jordan quickly went up to prepare the rings, not noticing the change in Westley's expression.She was then busy with handing over the rings.Now her task was complete.Westley took her to the main table and made her drink some water.The dishes began to come out one after another, and everyone started eating.But Rebecca wanted to leave.Frank stopped her. "Nathan hasn't spoken yet. Godmother, if you leave now, it's too early. You've come all the way here, just stay a little longer."Rebecca didn't understand. "What is Nathan going to say?"Frank replied, "You'll find out when you listen in."Rebecca wanted to leave because she didn't want to hear the sweet words that Zachary was going to say to Jane on the stage.Jane hadn't even shed a tear, but Zachary, a grown man, was crying uncontrollably.She couldn't bear to face it.But it was obvious that Frank didn't want her to leave, so she couldn't.The two of them

Jane understood the reasoning, but as a woman, hearing about Mandy's experiences truly made her feel heartbroken.She said with a sigh, "Frank thinks the same way, right?"Charlotte nodded. "Yes, Frank won't completely offend Carter. Who knows if people will remain safe and healthy for the next few decades?"Jane, however, thought of someone. "Tanner.""We don't know much about Tanner, and we're not sure how much she can help. By the way, it was Carter who performed Zachary's mother's surgery."Charlotte pondered for a moment. "Zachary should also follow Frank's lead, stepping down a little. After all, it was the Hilton family who acted, and it has nothing to do with him. You can't blame him for it."Jane, if she hadn't already done her hair, would have scratched her head.Her mind was about to explode."Jane, I think we should just go with the flow. When it comes to feelings, it's hard for outsiders to interfere. Look at me and Westley, even as your own sister, you couldn't ch
