Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 217
I pondered deeply, trying to simplify the complicated mess of relationships and explain it to Jane in the simplest way possible.In the end, it was a failure.I gave up thinking and just started tidying up while explaining everything to Jane clearly and straightforwardly.Finally, she understood.She summarized with a question, "So he's Ryan's future brother-in-law?"I was stunned, unable to decide whether to laugh or cry. "Who else can keep up with your quick thinking?"Aunt Laura must have come early to clean up the house, leaving it spotless.After organizing our belongings, we collapsed on the sofa.Jane glanced at me. "Didn't you say you had something important to discuss with me? What is it?"I handed her the documents that Jack had given me. "I want to start my own business. Are you interested in joining?""Of course!" Her eyes lit up with excitement.I chuckled. "So, when you told me about quitting at the hospital last time and said you had plans, were you lying to m

Not only the smell of smoke but there also a hint of alcohol."You've been drinking?""Yeah."He lowered his eyelids. "Had a few extra with Tom.""Oh." I nodded gently. "Then you... should go back and get some rest!"As for him and me, it was better not to have any further contact."I just want to be with you."He was stubborn like a child demanding a toy and was about to enter the house.Instinctively, I blocked him and stepped back. He suddenly staggered backwards, and I was startled. I hurried forward to steady him.‘You call this a few extra drinks?’With his tolerance, a few drinks shouldn't affect him like this.Moreover, if he had time to drink with Tom, it probably meant things with the Frost family were almost settled. Perhaps the marriage alliance with the Shaw family was really happening.Everything was going so smoothly, so what could possibly make him drink so much?But before I could dwell on it, he leaned on me, burying his head in the crook of my neck, and

Upon hearing this, Jane not only wasn't disappointed but gossiped eagerly, "Are you going with Frank who lives across from you?""How did you know?""Who else around you do I not know? Besides me, there's Jack and Ryan. You wouldn't bother with Ryan, and if it were Jack, you'd have told me directly. By process of elimination, it had to be Frank."My gaze fell on the distant high-rise buildings flashing neon lights, and I chuckled softly. "Alright, alright. Nothing escapes your eyes."After chatting aimlessly with her for a while longer, I hung up and turned around to see the man who was already awake.I put away my phone, suppressed my smile, and said calmly, "Since you're awake, you should go back."His dark eyes stared at me. "Are you trying to avoid me now?""No." I shook my head and walked into the living room. "I just want to avoid trouble for myself."As everyone perceived, as someone without parents and without anyone to rely on, where would I get the qualification to co

Waiting for him to come home at night, and waking up in the morning to see him sleeping beside me—this sense of happiness once deeply ensnared me. It was just that once the illusion was shattered, there was no going back. I even felt how foolish I was back then.A wave of bitterness surged from the depths of my heart. I turned my head slightly, sniffed, and didn't continue the conversation.I didn't know what else I could say.Should I pity myself or take the opportunity to scold him?Neither would make any sense.Ryan took a deep breath. "Now, I realize... Lauren seems different from what I remembered."I pursed my lips. "When she saved you back then, how old were you?""12 years old."Ryan remembered clearly and answered without hesitation.I couldn't help muttering, "No wonder you were so easy to deceive."Anyone would be grateful if someone saved them. Especially when their savior became hospitalized after helping them. Moreover, knowing Lauren's methods, I could almost i

I was drinking yogurt when I heard her last few words, and I choked hard.After recovering, I finished my meal and poked her cheek. "Can you have a little dignity?""It's a seven-digit number. You can handle it, but I can't." Jane's head was spinning from the money. "Actually, for the sake of money... surrendering a bit isn't impossible. Anyway, Jessica is his father's woman. Nothing could have happened between them.""You better dispel that thought right now." As we prepared to leave the house, I said, "That Lauren is still thinking about having Ryan marry Jessica.""What?"Jane put on high heels, looking like her worldview had been shattered. "She's been in a coma for so many years, is she an idiot now? Besides, didn't she have a huge fight with Jessica the other day? And now they're all buddy-buddy again?""Who knows." I picked up my bag and opened the door.Jane's imagination ran wild. "What if they're trying out something new?""What new thing?""Like a threesome?"She w

His car matched his temperament perfectly—a flashy Pagani sports car.When we arrived at the hotel entrance, even the doorman's eyes lit up, a glint similar to the one Jane had when she saw the extra money in my bank account today.Frank still had some gentlemanly demeanor. After tossing the car keys to the doorman, he personally opened the car door for me, albeit with his usual sharp tongue. "Slow down. It's okay if people fall, but these clothes are expensive."I recognized this dress when I saw it at home. It was a high-end custom piece from a certain brand. Many celebrities couldn't even borrow it.Although his words were unpleasant, they were true. The company was in preparation, needing money everywhere, and I couldn't afford to compensate for this dress.I carefully lifted the hem of the dress, avoiding getting stepped on by high heels. "Okay, got it."He paused. "Why are you so honest?""I'm just genuinely broke.""Mr. Frost doesn't give you money to spend?""No." I pu

Being asked such a question in public, I suddenly felt at a loss for words.Because she had a point. It was her birthday party after all. She had the right to decide on every guest.Before I could speak, Frank lightly glanced at her and casually made up a story. "I begged her for a long time before she agreed to grace me with her presence. Now you want to kick her out?"With these few words, he instantly eased my embarrassment.Hearing this, Bethany pouted unhappily. "Since when did you become so close with her..."Frank lowered his eyes with a hint of sarcasm, "Do I need to report to you?""Then didn't you know Ryan would come? You brought her here just to embarrass me...""Alright!" The middle-aged lady smiled gently and intervened. "You two, always quarreling since childhood, haven't you had enough?"Her tone and expression were both gentle.She continued, teasing Bethany, "You're already a grown up, thinking of marrying Ryan, yet still so childish?"As I heard this, my g

Frank threw out these words and glanced at me. "What are you standing there for? Let's go.""Okay."He's tall with long legs, taking big strides. I struggled to keep up with him because my dress hem was hindering me.Just as we were about to reach the hotel door, a strong grip seized my wrist from behind, "Charlotte!"I stopped in my tracks and looked at Ryan, his expression dark. I composed myself and asked calmly, "What's wrong, Mr. Frost, is there something?"Frank also turned back, his eyebrows slightly raised.There was a deep melancholy in Ryan's eyes. "Are you, Mr. Smith, also interested in interfering in marital affairs?""I have no interest in that." Frank smiled. "Just wanted to remind Mr. Frost that bigamy is illegal."Ignoring Frank's remark, Ryan firmly dragged me along without a word.Frank furrowed his brows. "I'll be waiting in the car for you."With that said, Ryan's grip on my wrist tightened even more!His pace quickened even more.He dragged me all the w

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

"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

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

"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
