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

I paused for a moment and then said with a hint of mockery, "I never knew you had such tolerance before."That night, I had kissed Frank in front of him. Although I was drunk, it had actually happened. Given his nature, which allowed only himself to set the rules and not others, he should have ignored me from then on.As soon as my words fell, the sound that followed wasn't Ryan's voice but the commotion coming from the center of the banquet hall.Lily had changed into a pure white dress. Standing in the center with a microphone, she seemed a bit shy, but her dark eyes were fixed intensely on a certain direction.The direction where Frank was."Over these years, being away from Grandma and my parents, I... I've suffered a lot and dealt with many people's looks, but relying on the few remaining beautiful memories, I've held on."She choked up slightly and began to sob. "I'm also very lucky. My family... and Frank, have never given up on finding me. This morning, when Grandma asked

His expression turned cold and his voice was hoarse. "The shares I gave you are for you to live a better life, not for you to use as leverage in negotiations with me.""So, Mr. Frost, is that a yes or a no?"He sneered, speaking with the utmost coldness, "Then you can try it. Whoever you sell them to, I'll make sure they suffer. If you want to harm someone, feel free to."He remained obsessively stubborn, almost to the point of being pathological. Threats were a game of who could sink lower. I couldn’t compete with him, and there was no point in saying anything more.Grinding my teeth, I went to find Jane.Jane and Ian were discussing some trivial matters. Seeing me arrive, Jane smiled at Ian. "Mr. Brown, after the New Year, when you return to Jelaston, let me treat you to a meal.""Alright." Ian nodded slightly.After greeting him, I was about to leave with Jane when Ian suddenly called out to me, "Ms. Wilson!"He hesitated before speaking, "Is your divorce with Mr. Frost rela

I tugged at my sleeve, feeling a bit embarrassed. Just as I was about to speak honestly, the banquet hall was suddenly filled with commotion."Oh my God!" Someone shouted, "The eldest daughter of the Shaw family has fainted, call the ambulance!"The next moment, the man who had been keeping his head down suddenly stood up and darted out as fast as a gust of wind.Shocked, Madam Shaw jumped up, disregarding everything else, and hurriedly left with the help of the servants.In the waiting room, only Jane and I remained."Let's go, stop worrying about it," said Jane, pulling me along. "Others have family and devoted fiances. You need to take care of yourself. Let's get to the hospital quickly so it doesn't get as serious as last time."The banquet hall had become a chaotic mess.Some people were genuinely concerned, while others were just putting on a show for the Shaw family.At the hospital, after I had several blood tests, I waited in the infusion room for Jane.But the itchin

When a person was in extreme discomfort, they would become intensely self-centered. I was so uncomfortable that I couldn't think of anything else and kept scratching myself. "What does it have to do with me?"Even when I was in such pain, I wasn't about to turn into a saint who would sacrifice myself for others.Thud—She suddenly fell to her knees, tears streaming down her face. "Please, you're not in any serious condition. Just save my daughter, will you?"Everyone in the infusion room looked over in astonishment.At that moment, she was a desperate mother, deeply worried about her daughter's life.And I was perceived as a cold-hearted villain who refused to help save a life just because I had a small problem."No."I looked at her coldly and said to Jane, "Jane, call the police. Mrs. Shaw is deliberately obstructing medical care and is suspected of attempted murder."Compared to how others see me, my own life was more important.Who was Lily?The eldest daughter of the Sh

‘Asking Frank for help?’I wasn’t sure if it was my pessimism, but given his obsession with Lily, I would rather trust Madam Shaw just a little more.Even though he always thought that Lily wasn’t the right person they were looking for, he wouldn't just stand by and watch her die, even if there was only a one in a thousand chance. He was not the type to be indecisive.Sacrificing me was actually predictable.Bang—To my surprise, there was no argument from outside, just a loud crash as the door was kicked open.Frank exuded a cold aura.To my astonishment, he strode in, quickly untied the ropes binding me, and tore the tape off my mouth with trembling hands. "Charlotte, how could you be so stupid again!""I...""Enough, don't talk. You look awful."Once he confirmed that I hadn't been drawn of blood yet, his expression softened slightly, though he still looked displeased. "I'll take you to see a doctor.""Frank!"Bethany, momentarily startled by his presence, quickly recove

"Since it won't kill her..." He smiled faintly. "Then let's draw as much blood as possible."With that, ignoring Bethany's resistance, he quickly bound her to another chair."It's clear the Shaw family didn't waste their efforts raising you. You have such deep sisterly feelings for Lily, so don't just talk about it."As Frank tightened the knots of the rope and gestured to the medical staff, he said, "What are you waiting for? Draw the blood.""Mom! Mom!" Bethany cried out desperately for help!Mrs. Shaw, frantic, tried to rush in, but Frank's people had arrived, blocking both sides of the door.Those wanting to get out couldn't, and those wanting to get in couldn't.It was a matter of who was crazier, more ruthless, and more reckless!Mrs. Shaw grabbed Madam Shaw's arm, her tone more heartfelt than when she begged me earlier, her voice trembling with fear. "Mom... talk to Frank, he listens to you! Bethany, Bethany will really be in trouble if this goes on...""Didn't you hear

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

"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
