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
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 26
Thinking back, I found such a thought ridiculous.On my wedding night, I was left alone. Several times on my birthday, my husband was absent. The gifts I longed for were given to others. Even on the day of my prenatal checkup, my husband went to accompany someone else.Now that we reached the point of divorce, he couldn't accept it when my friends came to throw me a housewarming party. I smirked and looked down at him. "If you don't leave, I'll call Jessica."He wouldn't be able to handle the situation if Jessica came over.Ryan suddenly tightened his grip around my waist, resting his forehead on my chest, his voice was hoarse. "Charlotte, I never wanted things to turn out like this, really." With him like this, my heart couldn't help but soften.At that moment when I wanted to speak, his phone, casually placed on the dining table, rang.The caller ID displayed "Jessica".Such a sight sent shivers down my back and I immediately became sober. I pushed him away. "You've got a ca

"Do you really want to thank me?" Jack walked to the car, pushed Tom into the back seat, leaned against the car, and looked at me with a smile and lowered eyes.I nodded. "Of course.""Then promise me, don't always say 'thank you' to me in the future." This remark had a slightly unusual flavor. Before I could figure out what he meant, he added with a smile, "It makes things too formal."I chuckled. "Alright, got it."He got into the car as well and then said, "I'm leaving, you should head back upstairs now."When I went upstairs, the living room was empty. Ryan wasn't there. I felt my heart sank for a moment. But just for a moment. Leaving silently was his style. It was probably another "urgent matter" from Jessica's side.Back in the bedroom, I gently patted Jane. "Jane, wake up. I'll help you change into pajamas so you can sleep more comfortably.""Mm." Jane moaned slightly, and upon seeing me, she reached out to hug me, letting me take off her top. She then murmured, "Charlot

Her words might have had some effect on me if she said them a while ago, but now that I had accepted facts like "Ryan had never had any feelings for me", I no longer had the urge to question her. I just looked at her calmly and said, "You seem to have everything under control, so why bother harassing me every day?"She came to my office early in the morning and made it seem like she was the wife and was interrogating the mistress. Seeing my indifferent reaction, Jessica became a little anxious. Without waiting for me to ask, she spoke triumphantly, "It's because of me."She leaned forward on my desk as if looking at a defeated opponent. "Charlotte, if it weren't for me, he wouldn't have married you! You wouldn't even have had the chance to set foot in their house!"After hearing those words, I clenched my fists and an indescribable feeling arose in my heart, causing it to race.She curved her red lips in satisfaction, and crossed her arms over her chest. "It was Grandpa who used

"My back hurts so much..." She nestled in Ryan's arms, crying as she complained, "I just asked about her progress at work, and she pushed me... Ryan, can't you just let her be the director? Everyone else supports her too. I really don't want to work in this kind of environment anymore."Listening to her, I couldn't help but admire her skill at making up lies. I almost burst out laughing, but then I met Ryan's scrutinizing gaze."Is that so?" His voice was icy, sending a chill down my spine.I chuckled self-deprecatingly. "If I say it's not true, would you believe me?""Ryan..."Jessica's eyes welled up with tears, her delicate fingers tugging at his collar. This suit was one I personally designed and tailored for him. It was a gift I gave him for Valentine's Day this year.He didn't answer my question. Instead, he just lowered his gaze to the woman in his arms, furrowing his brow. He seemed impatient but concerned as he said, "You're not a child. Crying like this after a fall? Le

I was startled by the sudden noise. Only then did I touch my ears. The blood had already dried and some red scabs came off. The touch brought back a twinge of pain to my ears.My ears were bleeding and I didn’t even notice.Jane patted my hand. "Why are you so stubborn? Doesn't it hurt?"With that, she took out an iodine cotton swab from her bag, tied my hair up, and carefully disinfected my ears. "How did this happen?""Jessica tried to pull my earrings off." I briefly explained the situation to her.Jane cursed angrily, "Who the hell does she think she is? I swear to god she’s a nosy bitch. She loves sticking her nose into other people’s businesses. She even wants to take things that don’t belong to her. What a thief.""Why do you always know how to curse people?" After Jane’s bombardment, my gloomy mood from earlier in the day lifted a little.Jane glared at me. "With a friend like you, I have to learn how to curse.""Oh."I waited for Jane to take care of my ears. The

‘I’ve already taken my pants off and you’re just going to leave it at that?’She thought this must have been intentional on Westley's part.She raised her leg and kicked him, then turned around, pulling the blanket away, her back clearly showing a trace of resentment.Westley didn't mind, pulling both her and the blanket into his arms.He chuckled softly in her ear."Your reaction right now makes me think you're dissatisfied."The deliberate pause was even more teasing.Jordan immediately elbowed him.But because she was tangled in the blanket, she couldn't put much strength into it.The muffled laugh of the man in her ear clearly mocked her, making her even angrier.Her emotions flared up too quickly, and tears started falling.Westley felt the wetness on his arm, it was hot.He quickly sat up.He knew about her tendency to lose control of her tears, but seeing her cry still made his heart ache.He gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eye with his thumb and whis

"You can't possibly have nowhere to stay."Westley turned her around and found her eyes tightly closed.He laughed softly. "You used to try everything to see what’s in front of you right now, so what's wrong now?"Jordan had been influenced by dramas and novels back then.Because she was protected by the Howard family and watched over by Westley, there were no other men around her except for him.Even if there were, she couldn't see their abs.So at that time, she could only secretly look when he was training or at moments when he would take off his clothes.Leanne had also helped her a lot.When she was young, he saved her when she was hospitalized.He injured his shoulder, and he had to take off his clothes to apply medicine.During those days, she insisted on taking care of him and saw a lot.But all of this ended before she turned 18.It was like playing house, no one took it seriously.Later, she never had the chance to see Westley’s body again.Now, she couldn't loo

Westley's eyes flashed with a deep, meaningful smile.He replied calmly, "How did I trick you? I'm just being very sincere. I was just asking about the things from before. I didn't mean anything. If you're overthinking, then... Are you feeling guilty?"Jordan retorted immediately, "I'm not guilty!"Then, she weakly explained, "I didn't do anything wrong. My confession was real, and the words I said to your mom were for you. Later, I didn't contact you because your attitude toward me wasn't good. I didn't dare to reach out. So, it's all your fault."Westley laughed. "Alright, it's all my fault."He released her and stood up, heading toward the bathroom.Jordan stood frozen, not knowing why the conversation ended so abruptly.They didn't really reach any conclusion.But that wasn't the point. She followed him to the bathroom door and knocked."Westley, are you taking a shower?"There was no response. She pressed her ear to the door and thought she could hear water running.Alt

"I..."Jordan leaned on his shoulder, her voice soft. "Can you just say it?""Okay."Westley was easy to talk to. "You said that after giving it some thought, you might have mistaken your feelings for me. You might have confused sibling love with romantic love. Actually, maybe you don't really like me. That was the gist of it. The exact words, it's been so long, I don't remember."Jordan didn't believe that he didn't remember.If he didn't hold a grudge, he wouldn't have treated her the way he did afterward.He didn't even send her a message.Even when the Howard family invited them back for dinner, he had his subordinates contact her."You really are petty."Westley chuckled, pulling her even closer.He kissed the corner of her lips. "Yep, I'm petty. For the things I owe you, I'll apologize and make it up to you, but for the things I've done right, I'll remember them and make you pay me back."Jordan quickly grabbed his wrist, her speech speeding up."Westley, I can explai

Jordan was rendered speechless. "You didn't drink tonight. What, are you drunk from fruit juice?"Westley let go of her, changed his shoes, and, as if he were at his own home, casually unbuttoned his shirt and sat down on the sofa."Huh?"Jordan changed her shoes and walked over. She sat at the coffee table in front of him, her face serious as she said, "You'd better tell me the truth!"Westley leaned back against the sofa, his posture casual."What do you want me to confess?""I want you to..."The man suddenly moved closer, and Jordan swallowed her words.She stared wide-eyed at the extraordinarily handsome man in front of her.He had undone four buttons of his shirt, and as he moved, his muscular physique subtly showed through.Her gaze couldn't help but fall inside his collar.Suddenly, she felt her mouth becoming dry."Jordy, you need to take responsibility for your words.""I..."Before she could finish, her waist was grabbed, and before she could react, she was sit

Jordan spoke again as his car was about to drive into the underground car park. "The underground car park is very winding. Just drop me off in front of the building, make a U-turn, and you can leave."But Westley parked in the underground car park, at the parking space that was registered to her.Jordan unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car. Seeing that he got out too, she didn't think too much about it."Just drop me off here."Westley said calmly, "I'll send you upstairs and watch you go inside.""It's really safe here."Jordan couldn't argue with him. Though she said that, she still let him escort her upstairs.When she used her fingerprint to unlock the door, she said, "It's fine now.""I'll watch you go inside."Seeing his persistence, Jordan unlocked the door and entered.She planned to turn around and say goodbye, but she was suddenly pushed from behind.The sound of the door closing followed, and then she was hugged tightly from behind by the man.Only now d

Jordan thought for a moment, and a line of reasoning gradually became clear."Are you saying Nathan really is my brother?""Not exactly," said Westley. "He's related to you, he's your cousin."Jordan wasn't too surprised. "I see."Westley smiled. "You're much calmer when things happen now, but it still shows on your face. You need more practice."Jordan couldn't hide her emotions. She didn't show too much excitement, but she was still happy."Does my sister know?""Yes."Jordan blinked. "So, you all kept this from me, and I was the last to find out?"Westley pulled her up and headed for the dining room."We can talk while eating, it'll be cold if we wait."Jordan felt a little frustrated. "I'm so dumb."Westley peeled shrimp for her and said, "Nathan wanted to keep it a secret, so it's normal you didn't know.""But you all knew.""I knew because of my personality. You know me, if a stranger appears in front of me or you, I'll do a background check on him. Your sister know

He had someone redo the decoration, and there would always be someone there every day to do the cleaning.Today, he had originally planned to bring her back, cook for her, and had prepared all the ingredients.This wedding house, aside from the time when Jordan came to get the marriage certificate, she hadn't been here since—she went out to study and work.It was completely different from what she remembered.There were also many photos of them.From before the marriage, after the marriage, and even recently.Including the photos she had taken over the years—award-winning ones, those published in magazines, and those that made the trending searches."They're all here. You can look around. I'll call you when the food is ready."Jordan nodded and started to explore.She found a darkroom, which was specifically for developing photos.Inside, many photos hung on the walls.These were all from the three years she and Westley were ignoring each other. They were all of her life and

She wanted to see how he would truly lower his head for her.She also wanted to see if he really liked her.But later, after seeing the golden sea of flowers, he really did a lot to help her take pictures of the sea of clouds.The pink dolphins and fish were considered a blessing.She also witnessed them with him.So, she felt that the matter of pursuing her no longer mattered.She just wanted life to be simpler.She was really tired.She wanted to be happy and carefree.But unexpectedly, now that she didn't care about the pursuit anymore, he started again.It seemed that he would never follow her wishes.That stubbornness of his was something he couldn't change.‘Forget it,’ thought Jordan.She really couldn't be bothered to argue about these things anymore."Let's go." Jordan nodded and sat in the car after he opened the door.Westley walked around the front of the car and sat in the driver's seat, leaning over to fasten her seatbelt.But Jordan fastened it herself.
