Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 284
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

Jane disagreed with my thoughts. "Besides, you're divorced now. Do you think a few words will make him give up? It's better to set a deadline like you've done now."That was precisely what I had considered.When I first learned that Jack had been in love with someone for twenty years, I thought that girl was very fortunate. But upon realizing it was me, I felt more of a sense of indebtedness.Indebtedness...It was hard to respond to.During my silence, Jane leaned on the desk, her fingers playing with my earrings. "Charlotte, why not give Jack a chance? In this day and age, such a devoted man is rare.""It's precisely because he's so good that I need to be more cautious."Otherwise, it would be playing with someone's feelings.A hundred percent sincerity deserves a hundred percent sincerity in return. If I can't give that, then he should be encouraged to find someone who can truly reciprocate his feelings.Jane couldn't persuade me and gave up. "By the way, let's go to the us
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 291
Meanwhile, a force was pulling the door from the inside just as I was about to peek in. A waiter blocked my view.This place pays great attention to guest privacy.The waiter said, "Hello, are you a friend of Mr. Wilde?"The name was unfamiliar to me.I had no choice but to shake my head. "No, I must have gone to the wrong room."As I turned to leave, it felt like someone was staring at me intensely, making me feel uneasy.When I glanced back, the door to the private room was already closed tightly.Back in the room, Jane had already ordered the food. "Take a look, is there anything you want to eat?""I'm not picky. Just order what you want."Thinking about what happened earlier, I was somewhat preoccupied.It wasn't someone I knew, but what they talked about sounded very much like something that happened to me.It almost felt like a perfect fit.But I had never heard of someone called Mr. Wilde being close to Ryan.Jane noticed something was off and leaned close to my ear

He placed some meat on her plate and asked, "Don't you like being close to me? Or do you still think our relationship isn't suitable for closeness right now?"Jordan couldn't really explain.Westley answered for her, "Do you think the development between us is different from others? So it's awkward?"Jordan thought for a moment, and it seemed like that was the case.Westley continued, "So you still want to go through a process before we get to the point where we can kiss in a romantic relationship?"Jordan fell silent.Westley said, "If you have something to say, just say it. There's nothing we should be embarrassed about between us."Jordan bit her cutlery, and after a few seconds, she said, "Before we remarry, we can maintain a working relationship. We can eat together, do some things together, but we can't have any intimate behavior. Can you accept that?"Westley obviously couldn't accept it.He didn't really understand why she wanted it that way.But he still went along w

"Otherwise, would you listen to something you don't want to hear?"Jordan didn't want to argue with him. "I'll say this one last time... Mm!"Her lips were sealed, and when Jordan tried to push him away, she kept punching his shoulder.She tilted her head to dodge, but he firmly held her by the back of her head.She opened her mouth to bite him, but he grabbed her face, deepening the kiss.In the quiet office, with only the two of them, the sound of water droplets, which made hearts race and faces flush, could be heard.Jordan, unable to take it anymore, kicked him.But his long legs held her down.She was completely at his mercy, unable to move at all."Um..."It wasn't until the sound of a knock on the door broke the intimate atmosphere."I'm here for the interview... Is this a bad time?"As soon as Westley released her, Jordan immediately pushed him away, wiping her lips forcefully.She stomped on him hard and tried to calm her emotions as she looked toward the door."

Jordan went to sit on the sofa and casually raised her hand toward him."Go on."Westley looked at her, noticing how she resembled a boss, a look that had some of his own influence in it.He smiled.Jordan shot him a glare. "Be serious.""Alright."Westley sat up straight, looking serious.He began to explain his previous plans to her.Except for parts of the plan that needed to be kept confidential, he didn't hide anything else."The reason I had you stab me was indeed to let you vent your anger, to make up for the harm I've caused you. It was just a coincidence that the higher-ups issued an order at the same time, so I decided to go along with it. Now, the plan has been completed. I can indeed come back to life, but right now, there's nothing I need to do. The Howard family has Leanne, and I've already resigned. I'm just a jobless wanderer now, and no one cares. Whether I'm alive or not doesn't really matter."Jordan felt that those last two sentences were clearly meant to

But when she reached the bedroom door, ready to go out and check, she thought again, how could he, such a grown man, possibly be putting himself through hardship?With so many people under him, he could just call anyone to bring him clothes.And he could book a comfortable presidential suite for himself.There was no need for her to be concerned about it.Besides, it was her who had locked him out in the first place.Going out now would only make it seem like she cared about him too much.Right.She shouldn't go out.Jordan returned to her bed.But no matter what, she couldn't fall asleep.In the living room, Westley was already lying on the sofa.The heating was turned up high, so he wasn't worried about the cold.He was holding his phone, making some kind of plan.In the end, Jordan didn't even know how she fell asleep.When she woke up groggily, the first thing she did was get up and check on Westley.But she found that he wasn't there anymore.She let out a sigh of

She now saw herself only as a sister figure to him. Even though they were a bit close, there was still a sense of distance and wariness.It was impossible for her to fully open up to him.But at that moment, suddenly talking about their relationship wasn't really appropriate.Besides, with how things had developed between her and Westley, if he intervened, it would just force them apart.In the end, it would be her who got hurt.‘Forget it.’Nathan decided to just watch how things would unfold.If Westley still didn't realize his mistakes and hurt Jordan again, then no matter what, he couldn't let them be together."Has Jasmine not come back?""Huh?" The topic changed too quickly, and Jordan was a little slow to react. "No.""Nathan, did you take anything from this room?"Nathan's gaze darkened slightly. "No."Noticing that he was in a bad mood, Jordan didn't ask about his situation with Jasmine."Jasmine probably has something she wants to do."Nathan could tell from her

"I've already picked out a few candidates, but I just haven't had the chance to arrange meetings for you yet. Maybe you've only ever been exposed to him since childhood. Try dating someone else, and you might realize he isn't the only one for you." Jordan shook her head. "Nathan, that's not it..." "I'm certain I like him—no matter how outstanding others are, I won't be interested." Nathan frowned. "You've never tried being with anyone else. How can you be so sure?" Of course, Jordan was sure. Ever since her youthful heart first fluttered, she had been certain, apart from Westley, she would never love anyone else. And that was precisely why his indifference had wounded her so deeply. She had filed for divorce and despised his later attempts at remorse. Because she had never wavered in her feelings—yet he only began to love her after she decided to let go. If he had realized it even a little sooner, they wouldn't have suffered through such a painful, drawn-out

"I’m not doing anything," Westley answered her question, squeezing her hand slightly. "Just need your help with something."Jordan was already in her 20s.How could she not understand the things between men and women?His voice was dangerously hoarse now, and what kind of help could he possibly need from her?"You do it yourself, I can't help.""Well, I’ll do all the hard work."He was the one doing all the hard work indeed.But he was holding her hand, making her hand... move with his!Jordan tried to pull her hand back. "Westley, you’re making me mad."Westley leaned on her shoulder and laughed lowly. "Alright, after you help me, feel free to get angry. Hit me however you want. But right now, Jordy, I can't stop."The temperature in the kitchen gradually rose.With the heating, it made the air dry and uncomfortable.She had just taken a shower to cool down, but now, a thin layer of sweat had formed.She felt hot.Jordan had nowhere to hide and couldn't break free.In t

The arm around her waist suddenly tightened.The breath sprayed near her ear, hot and unsettling.The man's hoarse voice came. "Don't want to sleep? Then how about we do something else?"Jordan gripped the blanket tightly, weakly lying, "I want to go to the bathroom. I haven't washed up yet either."Westley released her.Jordan quickly escaped. She didn't know what she might do if she stayed another second.Westley lowered his head, glancing at her, then sighed deeply.This was a pyrrhic victory.Jordan stayed in the bathroom for a long time.She even took a shower.But after finishing, she suddenly remembered that her bath towel had been taken by Westley.Standing in the bathroom, she felt like she had no way out.And in her haste to come in, she hadn't grabbed a change of clothes.She had impulsively picked up the clothes that Westley had swapped out of and her clothes and tossed them into the laundry basket.Her clothes were now all wet.She could only silently fume.

‘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
