Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 331
He handed me the box and said indifferently. "Take a look."It was some cream to help with the bruise.When I saw the large words on the box, I wanted to find a hole to hide in. I hurriedly stood up. "Just give me the medicine. I'll apply it myself after I take a shower."If it weren't for him, I would have forgotten I had just fallen."Alright."He smiled with a hint of mischief, his lips curved. "I've already had the waiter bring Jane up. If you can't reach the area yourself, you can ask her for help."From the start, he had considered that the place I fell was quite private.Maybe I had overthought his intentions.The more I thought about it, the angrier and more embarrassed I became. I shoved him out of the room and slammed the door shut.He held the door open with one hand and suddenly, as he did last night, pinched my face. His voice was charming. "Charlotte, Happy New Year."As he spoke, the sounds of fireworks outside echoed, adding to the festive atmosphere. The bril

I tried to comfort her. "Maybe she's a bit introverted? Since there's still plenty of time, spending more time together should help.""I still feel something is off." Madam Shaw seemed a bit regretful. "She used to be quite a little tyrant when she was young. No matter how much she has changed, she shouldn't be this timid..."As I was about to respond, Madam Shaw sighed. "Well, let's not dwell on that. It's still a joyous occasion. You're still in Jeswood, right?"I answered honestly, "Yes, I am.""That's great! I'll arrange for a driver to pick you up." Madam Shaw said with a smile, "We're planning a welcome banquet for Lily tonight. You must come and join us. The clothes that you’ve designed for Madam Smith and me have been quite the talk among us. Many people have been asking where they were ordered from. This is a perfect opportunity for you to introduce yourself. I'm sure you won't have to worry about business for the entire year!""Alright, thank you!"I hesitated a bit but

But had I got to feel guilty about?I didn’t do anything wrong from start to finish.Thinking of this, I lifted my gaze toward their direction. After Lily threw herself at him, he hesitated slightly, seeming a bit uncomfortable, and also worried about upsetting Lily.He grasped her arm, creating some distance between them. His tone remained as indifferent as ever, without any emotion. "Slow down.""But I’ve missed you."Lily looked up at him, blinking her eyes, her pale cheeks cautious and timid, like a little white rabbit. "You left so early yesterday. I haven't seen you for almost 20 hours."So precise down to the hour.I composed myself, curving the corners of my lips. I noticed Frank's gaze fall on me again. Seeing me composed and emotionless seemed to anger him a bit.He released Lily's hand, flashed a roguish smile, and walked over to greet the two elderly ladies before lazily sitting down on the sofa opposite me.Madam Smith gave him a reproachful look. "You brat, you s

The Lily in front of me right now was even more of a threat than Jessica.I didn’t want to get myself involved."Why don't you go do a paternity test too?""Charlotte, answer me.""Want to run away again?"The atmosphere in the hall remained superficially relaxed, while my phone kept buzzing with messages.I frowned and set Frank's chat to "Do Not Disturb."Even with Lily standing right here, he still thought I might be Lily."Ms. Wilson, you’ve just divorced and your phone is already buzzing with messages."Mrs. Shaw noticed the commotion on my side and spoke acidly, "You're quick to find a new partner."Frank clicked his tongue, clearly about to lose his temper.I didn't want to get entangled with him at this juncture. I took the initiative to speak. "Generally, it's not as fast as Bethany. I just got divorced, and she's already engaged to and broken up with my ex-husband!""You!" Mrs. Shaw glared at me viciously.She was doing it deliberately.Deliberately trying to em

"Ahem..."Jane saw that I could handle it and didn’t want to cause me any trouble, so she had remained silent.At that moment, Frank's words made her choke.Mrs. Shaw could be sharp-tongued and nasty towards me. But towards Frank, she was mute, embarrassed, and red-faced, clearly concerned about Madam Smith's presence and not daring to act too harshly."You brat!" Even though Madam Smith usually indulged Frank, she had to maintain decorum and glared at him. "Who taught you to speak like that?""You did, Grandma." Frank seemed indifferent. "I was just bringing justice where it’s needed."Madam Smith was so angry she glared at him but had no words to retort.Everyone present could hear that Mrs. Shaw was clearly looking for trouble, and her words were excessively sharp.As the topic seemed to be shifting, the usually quiet and timid Lily said in an innocent voice, "But Frank, my mother isn't wrong either. Girls should cherish themselves and be loyal..."Jane immediately got an

"The paternity test results are out." I felt a bit helpless.He was confident. "There must be something wrong with the paternity test. Charlotte, maybe I might mistake someone else for her."This "someone else" was clearly a reference to me.He continued in a calm tone, "But I definitely wouldn't fail to recognize her."I pressed my lips together. "That's a matter between you and the Shaw family. Frank, let's keep some distance."I really didn't want to invite trouble.With that, I avoided looking at his expression and pulled Jane into the banquet hall.Though the welcome party was organized on short notice, it was far from perfunctory.The lights were dazzling and the setting opulent, clearly a high-society affair.After taking a drink from the waiter's tray, Jane looked at me, somewhat surprised. "You've never been so ruthless before?""Come on." I smiled helplessly. "Even the dullest person learns from their mistakes. Besides, the situation now is different from before."
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 337
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shaw scanned the room and quickly locked eyes with Mr. Shaw, pulling him along to greet the guests.Before long, there was a commotion at the entrance of the banquet hall.Ryan and Ian, walked in with Mr. and Mrs. Shaw and Bethany.Ryan was dressed in a black overcoat, his demeanor dignified and cold, his steps steady, exuding a strong aura of authority.Ian followed half a step behind Ryan, but the two looked very familiar with each other.Given what Mrs. Shaw had said earlier about the guest, it was clear to everyone present who Ryan was.Ryan was the owner of the RF Group.He was the very same Ryan who had been rejected by the Shaw family.In the blink of an eye, he was now being treated as an honored guest by the Shaw family, showing no sign of neglect.Even if they had to grit their teeth, they would have to accept it.The atmosphere was tense and unusual, with no one daring to approach and strike up a conversation easily.The members of the Shaw

"Mrs. Shaw,"Ryan frowned slightly, his tone indifferent. "There's no need to explain the matter of the engagement."Because it was all part of his plan.Mrs. Shaw, not knowing she was genuinely confused or deliberately pretending to be confused, said, "Of course, we need to explain. As soon as you heard that Bethany was coming to pick you up, you specially came with Mr. Brown. I understand..."Ian's mouth twitched in irritation, unable to bear it any longer. He interrupted. "Your confidence is admirable, but I must interrupt you there. Mr. Frost's visit today has nothing to do with Miss Shaw at all.""How could it have nothing to do with Bethany? If Mr. Frost came to the Shaw family, it must be for Bethany. Otherwise..."Halfway through Mrs. Shaw's words, she realized something and looked over at me with a somber expression.Ryan lowered his gaze, adjusting his cufflinks, his voice was cold. "To be honest with you, Mrs. Shaw, I'm here today to pursue my wife."His voice was cl

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.
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 1320
‘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
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 1318
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
