Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 282
In addition to the scandal involving Jessica and John, Ryan had to be cautious. Any small misstep could lead to countless people taking advantage of his vulnerability.When Madam Shaw criticized him, Ryan probably had to endure it.Unexpectedly, he didn't show the slightest discomfort. His expression remained inscrutable as he said calmly, "I'll prove to you if I’m qualified or not.""Grandma." Bethany was overjoyed. "Just listen to him, aren't you satisfied now...""To you, he's naturally qualified, and there's no need to prove anything."Madam Shaw sat with perfect posture, her demeanor impeccable. "As long as you and your mother are satisfied."The first part was a rejection, but now she agreed without hesitation.Bethany was bewildered. "What do you mean...""If he were to be a husband for Lily, he would fall short!" Madam Shaw looked at her steadily. "For you, he's more than enough."Her tone was calm, lacking any hint of disdain.But it was like a massive slap to the fa

I walked away, so I couldn't hear everything clearly. However, the term "ill-fated lovers" was crystal clear.As someone who was single, this term had nothing to do with me.The Shaw family’s residence was enormous. As Madam Shaw mentioned, I eventually had to ask a servant for directions to find the dining room."Are you Ms. Wilson that Madam Shaw has been mentioning since early this morning?"The butler, who happened to be near the dining room, noticed me and promptly instructed a servant to prepare another breakfast for me.I smiled slightly, thanked him, and quietly began eating.Only then did the butler leave.As I ate, someone suddenly cast a shadow beside me, and the next moment, the person couldn't wait to express their frustration."Charlotte, I warn you, stay away from my family! I don't care what you're plotting, don't try to get on my Grandma's good side!"I continued sipping my oat porridge, unbothered. "What am I plotting?"Bethany snorted and felt irritated. "W

After saying that, I picked up my bag from the chair and turned to leave."Bitch!" Bethany cursed angrily behind me.I clenched my fists, acting as if I hadn't heard her, focusing solely on getting away.But to my surprise, I soon found myself lost within the residence.After turning several corners, I glanced to see a courtyard that felt oddly familiar.Despite being large and clean, the courtyard had a deserted air, as if it hadn't been lived in for a long time.Driven by some strange impulse, I walked in. As soon as I stepped inside, the gate behind me slammed shut.In the next moment, a tall figure pressed me against the door.The familiar scent surrounded me, leaving me nowhere to escape.I looked up in shock, meeting his deep, dark eyes!His well-defined fingers gripped my waist, his gaze tender and gentle. "What are you doing in the Shaw family's residence?""It's none of your business!" I was instantly infuriated, trying to struggle but unable to move.Ryan stared a

Whether it was the announcement of the marriage or the notice of divorce, I complied without a hitch. I thought that would be the end of it, that we would each go our separate ways.But I didn't expect that even my mere presence would be intolerable to them.Ryan held me tightly, as if trying to meld me into his bones and flesh, his voice low and soothing. "No! Charlotte, that's not what I meant. Don't be so upset.""Then what do you mean?"I struggled to control my trembling body, speaking with biting sarcasm. "Are you saying you never thought about marrying her? Are you saying that sending me abroad was all for my sake?"What about the shot fired at me, or his defense of Bethany in front of Madam Shaw? What did those count for? A joke? Or was it that I deserved it?I wouldn't believe it again, and I didn't dare to.The harsh words from Bethany and her mother, though stinging, contained truth—I was never in the same world as Ryan.Once, because of Grandpa, I had briefly aligne

It was as if he was performing some grand ritual.To those who knew better, it was just closing the door and changing the code. To those who didn't, it might seem like he was praying to the gods.I then realized what was going on. "This is... your little fiancee's courtyard?"Frank's thick, rigid lashes fluttered slightly as he shot me a sideways glance. "You're asking even though you know?""You..." I couldn't help but ask, "Have you ever thought about what if you really can't find her?"He fixed his gaze on me, narrowing his eyes and curling his lips in a smirk. "Even then, I wouldn't lower myself to anyone's level, including yours.""Then you really are overthinking things." I almost choked on his words. "I wouldn’t want someone like you even if you threw yourself at me."Being hurt by Ryan because of his “true love” was enough.From now on, I would stay far away from men with a “true love” in their hearts.Besides, who was he? The heir of the Smith family, the sole success
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 287
Of course, he found her appealing.Otherwise, how could Ryan have changed his attitude so quickly, with both the marriage and the divorce?His thoughts aligned with Bethany's, and even with mine. Bethany raised her chin with confidence. "What do you think? I can't be less than Charlotte, can I?"What was I caught in the crossfire for?Fortunately, a servant soon came running in, saying, "Madam Shaw, Miss Shaw, Mrs. Shaw has returned."The person backing Bethany had come back.Bethany wiped her face with some tissue, then, with a triumphant air, took Ryan's arm and hurried out to 'report.'In my mind, I only had one thought. ‘I Can’t stay here anymore.’Bethany was annoying enough. Mrs. Shaw’s presence would only make things worse.I straightened up, looked at Madam Shaw, and spoke softly, "Grandma, I need to go back to Jelaston today. I'll leave now. Next time, I'll come back to visit you in Jeswood."Madam Shaw seemed a bit disappointed but didn't say much, only asking me to

Naturally, I knew it wasn't me, but I was used to responding.He squinted dangerously, revealing a hint of recklessness. "Those who've bullied you should pay some price."I laughed lightly. "And then?""There's nothing more." Frank shrugged, leaning back against the headrest with his eyelashes lowered, concealing all emotions. "You've always been on the Wilson family's household register. Before Lily disappeared, you were already Charlotte of the Wilson family.""But for some reason, just like Grandma, I occasionally find myself genuinely attracted to you."I immediately tensed up, watching him warily.He was instantly amused, the corners of his mouth lifting in a smirk. "What's with that expression? Do you think I'm desperate?""Well, you never know." I smiled and tightened my coat, trying to dispel the heavy atmosphere in the car.He yawned, dismissing it with a single phrase. "So childish."Then, he pulled out an eye mask from somewhere and fell asleep quietly.The next da

I was extremely puzzled.If it wasn't him, then who sent them?The RF Group is only something we've had dealings with through him...While I was contemplating this, Ian's voice on the phone suddenly brightened with realization. "Oh, yes, yes, yes, I remember now! It was me! I had my assistant order them. He must have made a mistake; I only intended for him to order 99, to wish your company great success and longevity."Ian sounded somewhat apologetic. "999 is indeed a bit excessive. Did it cause you any trouble?""Oh..."Looking at the flower baskets piling up from the elevator into the company, I smiled with a bit of a headache. "It's not really a trouble... I'll see if I can negotiate with the florist to return some of them. Otherwise, it costs too much.""No need, no need. He can afford that," Ian blurted out. Then cleared his throat and added, "My assistant is just here for something to do. He's quite wealthy. I'll deduct this from his bonus.""Alright." I thanked him again

Caleb was thinking that in the future, he could let her drink a little more.Of course, only when he was around.She looked kind of cute like this."I did say that, but didn't you just say you wanted to thank me?"Whitney felt that alcohol really wasn't a good thing.Even when hanging out with Jane and the others, she decided not to drink too much anymore.The rationality and logic that she was so proud of had completely vanished.She had never been as calm in front of Caleb as she was with others.Besides, there was a power imbalance between her and him.If she were sober, she wouldn't have been able to reject him anyway.Let alone now, when her mind was muddled.But maybe because she was muddled, she dared to say things that she didn’t usually dare to say."I just lost my balance earlier, and you helped me. Even if you don't accept verbal gratitude, that doesn't mean I owe you something this big."Caleb saw she could barely stand, so he held her by the waist to keep her

"But your reaction just now didn’t seem like you knew I was here."Jane tried to pull her leg back, but when she couldn't, she slapped him in frustration."It was called acting, understand? I didn't want you to look embarrassed, so I got those two out of the way first."Zachary rubbed her ankle with his thumb, as if he believed her. "Then should I be thanking you—for being so considerate?"Jane couldn't be bothered to argue. "Let go. I want to drink.""I'll drink with you."Meanwhile, Frank held Charlotte close and asked in a low voice, "Did she really know we were here?"Charlotte nodded. "What do you think? You really think Jane would mess around during her marriage? She might be bold, but she has boundaries. But you guys really are annoying."Frank hooked her chin with his thumb. "I knew it. You're being cold to me because you're sick of me. I've said it so many times, and you still wouldn't admit it."After saying that, he picked her up and walked out of the bar.He hadn'

Charlotte nudged him with her elbow, warning him not to stir things up.Jordan truly didn't dare to stay any longer. "Westley, take me home.""Okay." Westley finally got up. "You all take your time. If it gets too late, don't go back to the old house—just find a place to crash.""But..." Jordan suddenly felt like leaving wasn't such a good idea. "Maybe I'll stay and play a bit more."Westley simply dragged her out."Jane and Zachary...""You can't control what they do, so why bother worrying over nothing?"Jordan was settled into the passenger seat, her seatbelt fastened firmly.She didn't resist, mostly because she felt what Westley said made sense.Jane was way more capable than she was. This kind of minor drama would be easy for her to handle.Plus, with the smart and composed Charlotte around—It was better if she didn't add to the chaos.Once Westley got into the driver's seat, she asked, "Why did you guys show up? Especially you—didn't you say no seeing each other a w

But it was just a polite gesture—if they had been singing inside, they wouldn't have heard her anyway.So after knocking, she pushed the door open and went in.Charlotte and the others followed to take a look.When they saw the scene inside, they gasped.The four men from home were sitting around a cards table, all eyes on the door, each with a different expression.Zachary looked at Jane, who entered first, and said with a smile, "Honey, pick someone you like and give him a kiss."Jane took a step back and bumped into Charlotte's arms.That was when she noticed the big screen beside them—it was showing their own private room."You were watching us?"Zachary tapped the cards on the table with his long fingers, still smiling."If we weren't watching, how would we get to enjoy such an entertaining scene?"They had all been drinking.Whitney didn't hold her liquor well. She was already a little dazed. Although the room was fairly bright, everything seemed a little off to her.

Caleb didn't respond. Instead, he looked at Westley and played a card.Westley won.And it was a big pot as well.He cocked his brows. "Is this your wedding gift to me, Caleb?"Caleb asked, "Your wedding—Dr. Greyson won't be absent, will he? I heard you two are very close. You've been at death's door multiple times, and he's the one who saved you."Westley nodded. "Theoretically, yes. But I'm not sure if he might have some emergency.""Besides, it's not like you, Caleb, can't reach him. You helped him last time. It's impossible he'd ignore you now."Caleb could contact Carter, but if he did, it would mean helping Carter meet Mandy.He had no interest in meddling in romantic matters—too troublesome.But he couldn't get in touch with Tanner at all.Technically, there was no real need for him to attend Westley's wedding.Even if Whitney was invited by Jane, he himself wasn't obligated.He simply wanted to go, hoping to "accidentally" run into Carter.That way, it wouldn't loo

Frank pulled her into his arms and asked, "You really have to go out for drinks?"Charlotte nodded. "It's a girls-only night. No men allowed.""Oh?" The man repeated slowly and deliberately, "No… men… allowed?"Charlotte saw the look on his face and knew exactly what he was thinking."Only women. Even the drinks are for women.""Oh? Tell me, how do you tell if a drink is male or female?"Charlotte lightly patted his face twice. "The drinks women drink are for women. Got it?"Frank laughed. "Got it."Over on Jane's end, after finishing her call, she was about to go look for Jordan, but Zachary pulled her into the room and pinned her against the wall.His warm lips covered hers, then quickly pulled away.With his forehead against hers, the man asked, "Going out for drinks?"Jane hooked his chin with her finger. "What, Mr. Collins, trying to seduce your way into a drinking invitation?"Zachary chuckled lowly, kissed her again, and asked, "May I?""No."Jane rejected him comp

Jordan had grown up in the Howard family, but the person who had taken care of her since she was little had an old house.She arranged for Jane and the others to stay there, and she would also be getting married from that house.She didn't have many friends. Originally, Leanne was supposed to be her bridesmaid. Although she had a child, she had never been married.But Leanne wasn't sure if she could make it back in time, so she let Jane and Charlotte take over as substitutes for now. They would adjust accordingly later."Try on the dress. If there's a problem, I can still make adjustments."With the help of the two of them, Jordan put on the wedding dress.But Jane was most looking forward to the wedding dress.Both her and Charlotte's weddings were going to be Cherian style.Jordan, however, wanted a Western-style one.And Charlotte, who had designed clothes for many years, had never actually designed a wedding dress before.This was her first attempt, and she was very excit

"Okay, I won't bring it up anymore."Westley walked over with Jonathan and sat down.Miranda was very satisfied. "Finally, Jordy can have dinner with me again."Jordan smiled. "I'm also happy. I can still call you Mom.""Then let's drink to that.""Okay."Westley waited for the "mother and daughter" to finish speaking, then threw out a big announcement. "By the way, our wedding is on the 22nd of next month."Clang!The spoon in Miranda's hand fell."What did you say?""On the 22nd of next month, Jordy and I are getting married. We sincerely invite you and your husband to attend."Jordan was also shocked.She only knew that Charlotte's dress was being made, and they were picking the wedding date.But Westley hadn't told her about this in advance."Next month, it's almost the New Year.""Yes, it's a wedding before the New Year. Then we'll celebrate the New Year at home. I'm informing you in advance, my dear mom. You can prepare for the the New Year Eve dinner.""The New Y

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."
