Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 250
He was very polite, upon seeing the three of us had arrived, he slightly bowed. "Sorry, it's been a long time since I came back. I underestimated the evening rush hour in Jelaston.""No problem, it's great that you could make it!"Lynsey stood up and introduced him to Jane and me, "This is Mr. Ian Brown, the CEO of RF Group."I had thought that someone in such a high position would be a bit aloof, but unexpectedly, he was very approachable. He even took the initiative to refill our glasses.Both Jane and I were somewhat bewildered. He put down the decanter, got back to the point, and said, "There's no problem with the investment, but the RF Group must have a significant stake. Are you both prepared for this?""Yes." I nodded.I had looked into some investment cases before, and in the end, the founders often didn't retain much ownership.But since I didn't have the capital myself, this was how it had to be.Jane was good at negotiation and smiled, "Mr. Brown, we're all from Jela

"How did you know?"After asking such a question, I felt a bit foolish.Given his relationship with Bethany, he would obviously know.Seeing that he had no intention of taking the dress, I offered it again, only to hear him say with a half-smile, "Mrs. Frost, you think so little of me. It's just a dress. Do you think I would take it back after giving it to you?""Give?"I was somewhat surprised.This dress was quite expensive, certainly costing seven figures.Frank crossed his arms and completely avoided my attempt to return it. With a flamboyant and unrestrained attitude, he said, "Otherwise, would you just be my female companion for nothing?""Fine then."I knew I couldn't return it, so I accepted it with a smile.For a family like theirs, this amount of money was indeed negligible. Persisting in refusal would seem pretentious.I smiled slightly, "Then thank you.""If you really want to thank me, do me a favor.""I’m not being a female companion again."I rejected insti

"It's my fault," he spoke with guilt, bending down to pull me into his embrace. His tone was both self-reproachful and gentle. "I didn't understand you enough before. I only thought you were independent and resilient, but I never considered understanding you from a husband's perspective and caring for you properly.""But I will make an effort in the future."After saying this, as if lacking the courage to wait for my refusal, he added, "I'm going to the office now. Enjoy your breakfast. If you want anything else, just let me know, and I'll bring it to you tomorrow.""Ry..."Before I could say anything, he had already left.Looking at the steaming breakfast on the table, I sat down again and started eating.No matter what, food shouldn't be wasted.For several days in a row, Ryan appeared at my door on time every morning like clockwork.If I didn't open the door, he wouldn't press further but would just leave a note on it.Every breakfast was different and accompanied by a stic

I held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, my knuckles turned pale, and under the threat of the gangster, I had no choice but to step on the gas.Even though we were out of the underground car park, the dagger was still pressed against my neck at an unnoticeable angle.I dared not move, and the fear in my heart was rising.I tried my best to calm myself down. "Who asked you to come?"The gangster snorted coldly. "Don't talk so much nonsense to me, just drive."He was very defensive.I suddenly understood what Ryan meant by what he said in the morning.However, not only did I not expect it, but he probably didn't expect that the other party would act so quickly.At this time on the weekend, there was already a traffic jam.After driving for more than an hour, the car slowly drove out of the city center area along Sky Avenue.Looking at the direction that was getting farther and farther away, I became more and more nervous.The criminal would only give the order at the

"How many times do I have to tell you? You don't deserve him!""Why didn't you believe me?"She covered her mouth and laughed, pinching my cheeks hard. Leaning in, she gritted her teeth and said, "Do you really think I'm going to let you be a stumbling block to getting into the Frost family? Do you think I'm like Jessica, who couldn't even deal with someone like you?""Charlotte, I've never failed to get what I wanted since child.""If I can't have it, my mom won't just sit back and do nothing as I become upset. You're so weak. Why do you get to compete with me?"She said this while glancing at a tattooed gangster nearby. "Call Ryan.""Okay."The tattooed man responded and immediately went to make the call.I frowned and looked at Bethany. "You and Zack are working together. What do you want?""What do I want?"She smiled and clapped her hands as she stood up, looking down on me. "Are you still worried that I'll hurt Ryan? Don't worry. He's my carefully chosen husband. Instea

As I slowly began to suffocate, my consciousness became somewhat blurred. I felt so uncomfortable...So uncomfortable that I wanted to die.Originally, I no longer wished to have any ties with Ryan, but in this situation, he was the only one I could think of.‘Ryan... please hurry... save me...’Just as I was about to lose consciousness, when a bucket of cold water was suddenly thrown over my head.The cold wind was already sweeping through the basement, and now this, not only brought me back to some level of consciousness but also made me shiver uncontrollably.The icy water streamed down my face, sliding into my collar and neck.The cold was bone-chilling.I barely opened my eyes and noticed that Bethany was also tied up to a post nearby.In fact, she had two red handprints on her face and her clothes were dirty, looking quite disheveled.However, she was standing calmly on a chair beneath her feet.I gave a cold smile, my voice a bit weak, "It seems you're quite the act

"Three..."Ryan's aura dropped sharply. He steadily raised the gun, aiming it at Bethany.Bethany desperately shook her head. "No... Ryan, don't..."Ryan, however, showed no signs of emotional disturbance. But in the fleeting moment our eyes met, I saw a deep, suppressed anguish in his gaze.Zack continued to count down. "Two..."Ryan gritted his teeth, lightly shaking his wrist, and chambered the gun with one hand."One..."Bang!In the instant the gun fired, Ryan suddenly changed direction, and with precision, pulled the trigger whilst aiming at me!I was completely frozen, my blood running cold!It turned out that I was the one he abandoned.Even if it meant I had to die.Despair seeped into every part of me in an instant. I stared blankly in Ryan's direction, my vision becoming unfocused.Although the anticipated pain did not come, somewhere within me, a sharp, piercing pain throbbed."It's my own choice...""I'm trying to win you back...""I'll take the remaining n

So, Ryan's thoughts were the same as those of the Shaw family.To him, I was merely a burden holding him back.He must have had grievances for a long time.Otherwise, such heart-wrenching words wouldn't have come so easily.A bitter smile tugged at my lips.I should never have hoped he would save me.Zack clapped his hands. "As expected of Mr. Frost. Very decisive!""Ryan..."Bethany shrank back in Ryan's embrace. "My legs hurt so much. It seems I was injured just now.""Mm." Ryan responded with a single syllable and began to walk away.Zack stopped him. "Mr. Frost, what about Ms. Wilson...?""Do as you please!" Ryan continued walking, casually to the question.It seemed that what happened to me was completely irrelevant to him.His mind and gaze were entirely on Bethany's injury.His tall, upright figure soon vanished from my view.Outside, the sound of tires on the ground resumed, and within seconds, everything was calm again.I squinted, staring at the flickering inc

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
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 1374
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
