Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 310
"I'm sorry..." He was momentarily stunned, as if suddenly coming to his senses. "I'm sorry. I just want to start over with you.""Why?" I looked at him coldly. "Ryan, honestly ask yourself, why do you want to start over with me?"In the past, I would earnestly believe whatever he said.It only led to a disastrous outcome, with me battered and bruised.Now that I've finally woken up from that dream, I refuse to repeat the same mistakes.His thin lips pressed together. "Because..."I interrupted him with a mocking smile. "Because you're used to winning, and you're just unwilling to accept not getting what you want."I never believed in those stories of realizing deep love only after a breakup."It's not that." Ryan denied firmly, his eyes were dark, as if they wanted to draw me into a vortex. "I can't live without you. Charlotte, I'm used to having you at home, used to hearing you call my name unexpectedly in an empty house, used to you waiting for me to come home no matter how l

My head buzzed, and after I processed what he said, I smiled. "Are you interested in these eyes of mine?"I had no interest in being a substitute."Not exactly."He remained leaning against the doorframe and said casually, "Just a fake girlfriend. I can help you deal with Ryan."I looked at him with understanding. "And what do I need to agree to in return?"His nature was that he only acted when there was a benefit for him.Sure enough, his gaze was appreciative. "I need someone to help handle my parents during the New Year. You'd be helping me deal with them.""You won't lose out." Frank smirked and added confidently, "You won’t be able to deal with him alone."The "him" he referred to was, of course, Ryan."I'll think about it," I said casually and closed the door behind me.The bankruptcy of the Frost Group had thrown Jelaston's world of fame and fortune into chaos.Everyone was trying to seize some benefit from the situation.That day, after a meeting, Jane suddenly ask

I expected that Ian would agree.Instead, there was a heavy silence on the other end. After a moment, he cleared his throat, as if under some pressure, and said, "Ms. Wilson... are you sure you want to sell the shares? Have you considered keeping them?""Yes."Jane smiled. "Why keep something my ex-husband gave me? It's better to convert it to cash than to hold onto it.""Ahem..."Ian sounded as though he was choked, coughing violently, accompanied by a crisp noise.I couldn't tell if something had been dropped or if someone was angry.Ian forced himself to speak. "Yes, that's right. We've currently suspended the acquisition of shares. My advice is to hold onto the shares. Within three months, their value will surpass even the peak of the Frost Group!"Jane was skeptical, "Can they really increase so much in such a short time?""Definitely, and possibly even more."Ian gave a very firm reply. "Please persuade Ms. Wilson not to sell them, no matter who comes to buy them.""Go

I was stunned for a moment.In an instant, I figured out Ryan's current identity, but I could hardly believe it!Wasn't he bankrupt?It turned out he had merely used a ruse to escape his predicament...In fact, after this maneuver, his power was even more robust than before.As soon as I realized this, my first instinct was panic...I thought I had severed ties with him, but now he was the largest shareholder of my company?I still clung to a shred of hope that perhaps he was just visiting with Ian and had come along to inspect.Ian smiled and introduced, "Ms. Wilson, Miss Greenwood, this is the RF Group's new... new deputy CEO, Mr. Frost."The position introduced was a level below Ian's.But Ian had always been a step behind Ryan, and his body language couldn't lie.However, they were now major shareholders of the Charlotte Jewelry. I didn't want to cause a scene, so I forced a vague smile and said, "Is that so? I thought your owner was coming? Where is he?"Ian laughed aw

"Ryan, in your imagined outcome, I should be deeply grateful now, right?" I asked sarcastically."Not really."Ryan avoided my gaze and loosened his tie with one hand. "I just hope that you can live a more comfortable life.""Alright."I wasn't in a hurry to refute him. I said softly, "Then name your price. If you sell the 51% of shares you hold in the Charlotte Jewelry, I'd be much more at ease."From the beginning, perhaps neither of us had truly understood each other.He once saw me as wild grass in an unkempt field, never sparing me a second glance. Now, he viewed me as a rose in a greenhouse, only suitable for delicate nurturing.And as for me, I had lost all trust in him.Why would the two of us choose to be together?He suddenly looked at me, his thin lips pursed. "Charlotte..."I smiled. "Didn't you say you wanted me to live comfortably?""With the RF Group to back you up, you'd be more at ease."I looked down at the bustling traffic below the skyscrapers and, after

Ryan's body stiffened suddenly, the light in his eyes fading inch by inch.He knew better than anyone how we lost our child.What lay between us was not just Jessica or anyone else, but a living, breathing life.If I reconciled with him, what would the deceased child mean then?Knock knock—Outside the door, Ian knocked on the glass door.Ryan's voice was cold. "Come in."Ian entered with an urgent expression, "Mr. Frost, the Shaw family is starting to suspect. Bethany and her team has gone to the Frost Group, and they might come here next.""No rush."Ryan, always adept at strategizing in business, said with a dangerous tone, "Have Reece accelerate the project acquisition. We need to finish it within three days so that even if the Shaw family finds out, it will be too late."Clearly, the merging of the RF Group and the Frost Group had put him on an equal footing with the Shaw family, or even put him ahead."Understood.""Leave. Give me a minute."After giving instructions

He chuckled. "Does the holidays begin the day after tomorrow?""Yes."He then said abruptly, "Then we'll leave for Jeswood at seven o’clock in the morning the day after tomorrow."I looked at him. "Aren't you supposed to help me deal with Ryan first?"He cocked his brows and said with a sense of entitlement, "Now you're asking me to cooperate. Shouldn't you show me your sincerity first?"Every businessman had their tricks.Ryan was like that, and so was Frank.Realizing something, I preemptively gave him a warning. "I can put on an act and deal with your parents. However, I'm a divorcee, so they probably won't accept me..."Frank didn't take it to heart. "That's my problem."The elevator reached the designated floor, and I took a deep breath. "Alright, I agree."As soon as the words were out, the door opened.We went our separate ways, but as soon as I stepped out, I was a bit surprised to see Jack standing at the door.I couldn't believe the Renolds family would allow him

Perhaps because I felt a lot of gratitude and guilt toward him, I didn't think much of it, smiled, and said, "It's alright, it didn’t hurt much."He withdrew his hand and sighed silently, saying, "Hurry and head back home. I just came to check on you. Seeing that you're alright puts my mind at ease.""Okay."I sniffled from the cold, waved at him, and walked towards my door.Remembering his earlier mention of the house, I looked back at him and said, "By the way, Jack, I will move out as soon as possible..."When I moved in, I only thought of it as a friend's place.Now that I know more, and only wished to continue being friends, it was better to avoid troubling him."No need!" Jack interrupted me, seeming to struggle before he compromised. "Just stay here with peace of mind. Frank lives across the corridor... ordinary people wouldn't dare cause trouble here, so it's relatively safe for you.""Thank you...""Charlotte, we are still friends."Noticing my discomfort, he decided

‘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.
