Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 200
Jane was dumbfounded."No way!""That's how it is."Who knew when Ryan would be convinced to go get the divorce certificate next time. Jane saw that I wasn't in a good mood and tried to comfort me. "It's okay, it's okay. When it comes to divorce, as long as one party is determined to leave, it's just a matter of time. Besides, you've settled everything else. You're practically divorced already, except for the certificate."I smiled and chatted with her for a while before changing the subject. "What about you? Has Tom come looking for you?"When I moved house, it was Tom who helped. Speaking of which, I still owed him a meal. He definitely knew this address. Even if he didn’t know, he could find out easily by asking Ryan.Jane sighed softly, her voice weak. "No, he wouldn't dare to come to your house easily.""Why?""He's most afraid of Ryan."Later in the evening, I wasn't in the mood to cook, and Jane wasn't much of a cook either, so we ordered takeaway.As Jane ate and chat
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 201
I had just finished eating and put down my cutlery. "Did you agree to meet him?""Yeah, I agreed," replied Jane. Jane helped me tidy up the takeaway boxes. "He was too immature a couple of days ago. He wouldn't listen to what I said. And now, some things can't be made clear over the phone. It's better to meet again and settle things once and for all.""I agree." I nodded. "I’m one your side.""Will you come with me?""Sure sure." I smiled and teased, "If I don’t go with you, what if he kidnapped and sold you?"They agreed to meet at the usual private club.Jane led the way confidently as we entered. When we reached the door of the private room, I hesitated for a moment. "You go in. If I'm there, it might be awkward for both of you to talk freely. Call me anytime if you need anything, I'll come in immediately.""Okay." Jane nodded and pushed open the door.I stood outside, watching waiters coming and going with fruit trays and dishes. Feeling out of place, I decided to walk sl

‘Beg him? Have I lost my mind?’ I wondered.I let go of his hand, not caring if Ryan and Jack saw us or not, feeling reckless, I turned and started walking out.Suddenly, everything went black. A man's long coat was thrown over my head, deftly guiding me back, pressing me against the railing, avoiding the gaze of those two.Lingering at the tip of my nose was a clear minty scent.The scent suited Frank perfectly.Ryan's footsteps seemed to pause. I heard Frank's unconventional voice, "Mr. Frost is interested in the private affairs of young couples?"Ryan seemed to scrutinize, his voice was deep. "Your girlfriend's shoes, my wife seem to have a pair just like them."My heart skipped a beat.This is a limited edition of a certain brand, and there are only a few pairs in Jelaston, easily countable on one hand.Clearly, I didn't overhear any secrets. I could have just left openly, but now with Frank stirring things up like that, I somehow felt guilty.I didn't dare move."Seem?"

It seemed like the person who readily agreed to my terms yesterday wasn't him.I was somewhat annoyed and at a loss. "Didn't you agree not to let anyone else know for now?""Huh?" Frank frowned. "I agreed not to let anyone know you were spying and recording."‘Fine. So he had done nothing wrong after all. Was it just that I hadn't been clear enough?’"Do you have a grudge against the Frost family?""No." Frank looked at me, perplexed. "Can't you understand vicious business tactics? After being with Ryan for three years, hasn't he taught you any of this?"I couldn't help but pause.His straightforwardness was both frightening and intriguing because of his second question.I squeezed my palms and replied honestly, "No."After being by Ryan’s side, what had he taught me? Independence, tolerance, patience, devotion...Besides treating each other with respect, we had no unnecessary exchanges. He never discussed matters of fame and profit with me.This time, Frank seemed taken aba

.This was the first time I had encountered someone who constantly talked about money."Well, forget it then. I'll ask someone else." With that, I turned and headed indoors.Just as I returned, Jane came out from the private room, her eyes slightly red, clearly having cried. "Let's go back.""Is everything sorted out?" I took her coat from her and draped it over her shoulders.She sniffed, her eyes clear. "Yes. From now on, whether he forms alliances or not, it has nothing to do with me."Upon hearing her decisive words, I admired how she could handle things so calmly.On the way home, Jane drove, and suddenly I received a call from Jack.After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked, "Charlotte, the person with Frank just now, was that you?"I was taken aback but didn't lie to him. "Yes, it was me... How did you know?"Frank had covered me up so well.Even Ryan... only asked about a pair of shoes in such an uncertain tone.Yet Jack managed to guess it was me.On the othe
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 205
"I heard that Frank came to Jelaston this time to look for clues about his former fiancee.""I didn't expect him to be such a devoted person."I was somewhat surprised that there was someone like Jack, who persisted in his feelings for someone he met in his youth, for so many years.Jack smiled and didn't say much more. He then just added, "Will you be home tomorrow? I'll bring the gift over after work.""The gift?" It took me a moment to remember what he mentioned last night and nodded. "Alright, I should be home these next few days."The next day, I woke up naturally and felt the empty space beside me in bed.Jane was gone.I picked up my phone and saw her WhatsApp message. "I’m off. If Tom goes crazy again, I'll come back to seek shelter.""You’re such a player. You ran off after sleeping with me."I replied with a smile and lazily lay in bed, scrolling through my phone.The matter with Jessica and John, along with what she and Wen Fang had exposed at the Civil Affairs Bur

"Stop trying to scare me!"After Bob yelled this sentence, his eyes showed fear, and before I could respond, he ran away!"Alright, Jane, I have something to attend to right now, I'll get back to you later."I hung up on Jane's call and turned to Bradley, who seemed invisible as always. "Did you just going to stand by and watch your father treat your mother like this?"Bradley shrugged. "I don't have his strength, and he doesn't listen to me."I was furious beyond words, unsure of what to say.But Aunt Laura endured the pain and spoke up, "Bradley, wait outside for a moment. I need to talk to your cousin.""Okay."After Bradley left, I pulled up a chair and sat by the bedside. "Are your injuries taken care of properly? Is there anything left untreated?""No. These wounds just look severe. The doctors and security stopped your uncle before it got too serious."Aunt Laura shook her head, looking weaker than the last time I saw her. Tears silently streamed down her face. "I want
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 207
On my way to the Frost Group, I couldn't help but feel relieved that Ryan finally seemed willing to start suspecting Lauren and Jessica. I should have been able to breathe a sigh of relief. Perhaps this time it would provide answers to both grandpa's and his mother's deaths. However, deep down, I still felt unsettled, though I couldn't quite pinpoint why.Upon arriving at the Frost Group, I immediately sensed a stark contrast to the atmosphere of the past. Everyone was hurrying around with serious expressions. As I exited the elevator on the top floor, this atmosphere reached its peak.Gary personally waited for me in the elevator lobby and escorted me to the CEO's office. Sensing my curiosity, he sighed. "The online situation has had a huge impact on the company. Several projects that were on the brink of completion are now being viewed with skepticism by our partners."I furrowed my brows. "It's gotten this serious?"It seemed that Frank indeed had considerable skills. His action

In the middle of it, Westley went outside to get some food to replenish Jordan.Jordan buried herself under the blanket, feeling extremely embarrassed.In the end, she had been the one to go back on her own words."Have something to eat."Westley pulled her out of the blanket, put his shirt on her, and carried her to the sofa.Jordan gave him a resentful look.Her pout clearly showed she was angry, but Westley only wanted to kiss her."Westley!"Jordan suddenly pushed him away. "You're so annoying."Westley handed her some cutlery. "Well, you can be mad at me all you want but you’ve got to eat something first."Jordan really was hungry. She hadn't eaten anything all morning and had used up a lot of energy.She turned her frustration into appetite.Westley ate a little too.Jordan's eyes darted around, hesitating to speak. "When you went downstairs earlier..."Westley knew what she wanted to ask, but pretended not to understand. "What do you mean?"Jordan glared at him. "

Westley’s sudden voice startled Jordan.Westley smoothed her hair. "It’s alright, honey."Jordan swatted his hand away. "Why are you always so jumpy?"Westley truly felt wronged.But he still apologized. "I’m sorry.""That’s better."Jordan tried to sneak away, but Westley grabbed her back. "I'll give you a chance. Think about what you did last night, or don't blame me later."Jordan didn't know where to look and nervously clasped her hands together. "I don't know what you're talking about.""Are you sure?"Westley slowly unlocked his phone. "You have one more chance to confess, or once I show the evidence, it'll be too late."Jordan vaguely remembered something, like she had done that kind of thing to him.And since Westley was someone full of tricks, it was likely that he had recorded it.She could only act first. "Isn't it all your fault?""Oh?" Westley tilted his head, looking at her with interest. "What did I do? Tell me."What could Jordan say?Should she admit tha

Westley said, "I need to go to the bathroom.""Oh..."Jordan took a deep breath and opened the door."Go ahead."But the man's large body blocked the bathroom door, standing still.Jordan tried several times to avoid him and step outside."Move out of the way.""Why are your eyes so red?" Westley cupped her face. "Did you cry?""No... it's the facial cleanser."The man’s heart ached, lowered his head, and placed a kiss on her. "Sorry, I shouldn't have teased you.""No..." Jordan didn't know where to put her hands.He was still wearing only a bath towel.He embraced her, his bare upper body pressing against hers. She had just washed up and was only wearing an undergarment. His intense body heat seeped into her skin.She felt something stirring inside her."Weren't you going to the bathroom?"Westley let go of her and asked, "Do you need me to get someone to bring medicine?"Jordan shook her head. "I've taken care of it, just need to get some rest, and I'll be fine."Fin

"Take a shower first.""Take a shower first..."Seeing the mischievous look on the man's face, Jordan kicked him. "Hurry up."Westley gave her an invitation. "Want to join me?"Jordan glared at him. "Don't do anything strange in my house."Westley cocked his brows. "If I'm not mistaken, we are legally married, right?"Jordan pushed him into the bathroom. "It's not happening in my house!""Okay, you win." Westley started taking off his pants, and Jordan quickly turned around to close the door.She was waiting and feeling a bit bored, so she sent a message to Jane, asking if she knew what Westley had prepared for Aunt Orianna.Earlier, when they were looking at the snow by the door, it seemed like they both knew about it.When Jane saw the message, she knew Westley was up to something mischievous.This was between the married couple, and she wasn't going to get involved."Jordan, I'm a bit busy right now..."Jordan misunderstood and thought it was because she and Zachary wer

Jordan's eyes suddenly lit up. "Then stop teasing Aunt Orianna and give it to her quickly, or else we'll be sleeping outside tonight."Westley replied, "What's wrong with sleeping outside? It's not like we can't afford a hotel."Jordan said, "Then you go ahead and stay there. Aunt Orianna’s mad. Do you think Nathan’s going to let you off easily? I think you'll be heading back to Jeswood tonight. Don't blame me for not speaking up for you. It's your own fault. You prepared so much, yet you didn’t prepare anything for Aunt Orianna."Westley hugged her tightly. At that moment, the sound of a door opening came from behind them.Jordan peeked her head out from the coat.Westley's deep voice came from above her head. "Your snowman is about to be buried in the snow. What took you so long?"Zachary said indifferently, "Isn't it because of your surprise? I almost got kicked out of Impelia."He walked over to the snowman and tidied it up.Jane stood under the eaves and said, "It’s still

"Anna." Westley took out his phone. "Get ready, we're going to make a video call."Anna, with her big, sparkling eyes, asked curiously, "Who is it?""You'll find out soon." After connecting the video call, Westley turned the phone towards Anna."Hello, Anna."There was a short pause..."Oh my god!" Anna's scream almost blew the roof off.She was so excited and flustered."What should I do? I didn't put on makeup today.""Oh my god, Westley, why didn't you say we're video calling with my idol? What should I do? What should I do now?""Just be yourself," said Westley. As soon as her idol spoke, Anna immediately sat up straight, not daring to touch her phone. Westley held it up for her the entire time.They chatted for a while, and he held the phone for as long as the conversation lasted.Jordan was worried that Westley arm would be sore so she wanted to hold the phone for him, but he declined, pulling her to sit next to him.Anna didn't chat for long, her idol had other thing

Westley had also felt that the photo was taken well, but the lighting in the hallway was still a bit dim.The atmosphere was good, but if it had been during the day, it would have been even better."Alright."The whole family sat down.Now everyone was gathered, and compared to the lunch welcoming Jane and Jordan, this dinner felt even more grand, especially with the meatballs added.Calvin had been in poor health ever since the incident with the Jackson family and couldn't drink alcohol.He drank tea instead.Raising his teacup, he said first, "I admit that I haven't fulfilled my responsibility to my two granddaughters, so I have no right to express any opinions about whom they choose to marry. But now that they've returned to my side, if in the future, any of you dare to bully them, I will do everything in my power, even at my old age, to stand up for them."Zachary and Westley both stood up, holding their wine glasses, and bowed toward Calvin.Zachary said, "Don't worry. It

Anna whispered to Aunt Emily in the kitchen, "Mom, Westley is quite handsome."Aunt Emily replied, "You only care about looks. If we're talking about looks, isn't Zachary handsome too?"Anna continued, "When I say he’s handsome, it isn't just about looks, it's in every way.""Of course, Zachary is also a great person.""It's just that everyone thought Westley had bullied Jordan before."Aunt Emily said, "Go bring the meatballs out, get the table ready for dinner.""Got it."When Anna went outside, she didn't see Jordan and Westley.Jane and Zachary had planned to go back to their room to talk, but Jordan had said it was snowing heavily and went out to take photos.So they followed her out.They didn't expect that in just a short while, the ground was already covered with a thick layer of snow, perfect for a snowball fight.Jane started rolling snowballs, and Zachary stood nearby making a snowman.Jordan took a few photos of the scene, capturing both Jane and Zachary in them

Westley waited for a moment, and after Jane and Zachary went inside, a few seconds later, Jordan ran out.She waved at him. "Westley!"Westley glanced at Nathan, then picked up the gifts and went inside."Hurry up and come inside. It’s cold outside."Jordan reached out to help him with the things, but he refused."I can handle it, it's heavy. You have grease on your hands too."Jordan wiped off the snowflakes on his shoulder. "Have you been waiting for a while?"Westley nodded. "Nathan is making things right for you two. Giving a little warning."Jordan glanced back secretly, asking softly, "What did he do to trouble you?""It's fine." Westley smiled slightly. "Just stood outside a bit longer."Jordan nodded and handed him his slippers.Nathan was behind them, watching the pair of them, the corner of his lips twitching.No one knew what he was thinking at that moment.Zachary had entered a few seconds before Westley, and he was already blending in well with the members of
