Regret and unwillingness.Tom, however, was unperturbed. "In my opinion, you shouldn't have brought up the divorce. The most important thing between two people is the push and pull; all emotions are drawn out through this dynamic."Ryan was silent for a moment. "Is there still a way to salvage this?"Tom had a sudden idea. "Play the victim.""Play the victim?" Ryan immediately dismissed the idea. "It won't work. She won't fall for that.""If being soft doesn't work, then you have to be tough," said Tom.‘Tough, huh?’Two years ago, he had watched her being pushed to the brink of despair by him.Later, he consulted his own therapist, who suggested that it resembled depression.The serious kind.He swirled his drink, feeling a sense of helplessness he had never experienced before.He couldn't do anything to her.But could he let her be with Frank?He couldn't bring himself to do it.When I got home, Jane was half-lying on the sofa playing a game.She looked surprised to se

She responded quickly and looked quite obedient. "Yes, I used to know her in Jeswood.""It seems you two have a connection." Yasmin smiled and nodded. She then turned to me. "This is my daughter, Christine Jackson."Christine took her mother’s last name.I wasn't clear on the specifics, but since it was her private matter, I didn't press further and simply smiled faintly.Christine suppressed her emotions and clung to Yasmin's arm, whining, "Mom, let me enter the entertainment industry. I'm just curious. Let me see what it’s like, and if I really don't like it, I'll withdraw.""Give it a bit more time. I’ll think about it." Yasmin patiently tried to soothe her.Christine pouted and said softly, "Alright then."Yasmin was very easygoing, and the meal was quite harmonious. Except for Christine, who kept sneaking glances at me.After the meal, Yasmin had to catch her flight and left quickly with her agent and assistant, leaving the bodyguard to watch over Christine.As I was head

Prof. Kilburn gave a clear deadline.I expressed my gratitude. "Prof. Kilburn, sorry for all this trouble. Thank you so much!""No need to thank me."Prof. Kilburn gestured towards Ryan. "Thank him. This guy has been pestering me for almost two months. I hadn't planned to return to Cheria recently, but it was my wife who was soft-hearted and persuaded me to come back and take a look."I looked at Ryan in surprise.Two months.This meant that before I returned to Jelaston, when he might have thought I was dead, he had not given up on Grandma's condition.I pursed my lips. "Ryan, I really need to thank you this time.""If you really want to thank me, how about treating me to a meal?""Huh?" I was taken aback. I hadn't expected him to make such a request.Then, I looked at Prof. Kilburn and smiled. "Sure, I'll treat you and Prof. Kilburn to a meal and let you try the local dishes of Jelaston."Two years ago, Frank had taken me to a private restaurant with excellent food.Howev

Upon hearing this, Ryan seemed somewhat stunned and disheartened.After a moment, he looked at me in surprise. “You’re no even going to lie?”“You rarely lied in the past as well,” I smiled and answered calmly. I had heard too much before. He had never been one to deign to deceive.“She ran away from home. I need to go find her.”“She’s divorced. I’m afraid she might do something rash.”“She got into a car accident. I can’t be at ease if I don’t check on her.”Later on, he didn’t even need to give a reason—he would just say, “I need to see her.”It was always, his sister. He couldn’t ignore her.It seemed that as long as there was that one layer of relationship, any little bit of my complaints would be seen as petty, and obstructing him would be almost like committing a crime.It was quite ironic. It seemed to match the saying of “What goes around comes around.”Ryan probably never imagined that such a day would come. He loosened his grip on his cutlery, which clattered ont

“I do.”When it came to serious matters, he was quite earnest, his voice steady, “She said back then that only Bethany and her daughter were behind her actions. Since we couldn’t find out about anyone else, and it wasn’t good to keep her detained, we let her go. What’s up?”“I saw her yesterday.”I didn’t stop what I was doing as I looked up at Frank. “Last year, didn’t Yasmin suddenly announce that she had a daughter? Can you guess who this daughter is?”“It was her?”“Yes, she’s now called Christine.”I felt a bit puzzled.Frank squinted his eyes. “I’ll have someone look into it.”He was never one to drag things out. He immediately made a phone call. The other side acted quickly too.I had just finished massaging his legs when the phone call came back.Frank answered, “Go on.”“Frank, there are no clues about this. It’s just that Yasmin suddenly announced she had a daughter, Christine. The specifics are unclear, probably because someone erased the traces.”“Think of som

The situation became somewhat awkward.Alana hadn't caught on yet. "Have I? How come I don’t remember?"I replied, "Oh? You don't?""I…"Alana cleared her throat, glancing at Frank, her mouth twitching. "Have I?"Frank nodded firmly. "You have.""I have?" asked Alana."Yes.""Right, I have."Alana suddenly realized, smiling at me. "I'm really sorry, I must have a terrible memory. Yes, I did add you on WhatsApp…"She turned to look at Frank. "When did I add her on WhatsApp again?"Frank cocked his brows. "During dinner. Did you forget?""Oh, right." Alana smacked her forehead. "Yes, yes, I even asked Frank for your WhatsApp at the time. I meant to tell you about his leg pain!"Then she asked Frank uncertainly, "Is that right?"Frank gave her an exasperated look.Alana smiled and said meaningfully, "That was my second account, I don't use it much. Let's add each other again?""Sure."We exchanged smiles.After adding WhatsApp, I left Frank's house and headed to the care
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 404
When I returned to the care home, Grandma was already asleep. I adjusted the corner of her blanket and gave a few instructions to the caregiver before driving away. I went straight to the hotel to check in.The next morning, after tidying up, I was preparing to go back to the care home to see Grandma when I received a call from Prof. Kilburn's assistant. I answered the call while walking out of the room.On the other end, the assistant sounded a bit frustrated, "Ms. Wilson, didn't you inform your family that the professor would be taking over Madam Shaw's treatment today?""Huh?" I was momentarily stunned. "Is something wrong?"The assistant replied helplessly, "As soon as we arrived this morning, your family showed up and said they would not accept the professor taking responsibility for Madam Shaw's treatment.""My family?" I was slightly puzzled but then realized something. "Is it the Shaw family?""Yes, it seems to be Madam Shaw's daughter-in-law and granddaughter."My exp

The little child looked to be about three or four years old, dressed in trendy clothes, and had an exquisitely carved face. He looked up at me, cuteness radiating from him.But he called me “Aunt”...I couldn't just accept that.I was a bit confused and patted his small head. "Aunt?""Yes! Aunt, my name is Daniel Jackson. You can call me Danny!"The little one was incredibly adorable, introducing himself with a soft, innocent voice and an endearing demeanor.I couldn't help but chuckle and crouch down to speak gently, "Alright, Danny, but…"I paused slightly and looked at Frank. "Danny is your nephew?""Alana's son."Frank lazily lifted his eyes and said nonchalantly, "She's on a flight to Europe tonight. Danny has school, so I'm taking care of him for a while.""Huh?" I glanced at his legs and couldn't help but question, "Are you sure… you can handle a child?"Danny hugged my neck and gave my face several slobbery kisses, saying sweetly, "Aunt, Aunt, you can take care of me

Jordan hadn't decided yet. "Do you have any particular places you'd like to visit?"Jane said, "Then let's go shopping."She turned to Charlotte. "Can you walk?""I’m fine. If we get tired, we can find a place to sit and rest."Jane then looked at Whitney and asked if she wanted to go.Whitney nodded.The four girls made a quick decision and set off.Ross was eating an apple when he saw them coming out together. He immediately asked, "Mrs. Collins, where are you going? Do you need me to give you a lift?"Jane looked at the car behind him and noticed there were no other cars."Take us to the biggest shopping center.""Okay."The MPV was large, and with just Ross as the driver, it was more than enough for the four of them to sit comfortably."Ma’am, there are yogurts and snacks next to you, all your favorites."Jane glanced at it and said, "Remember to tell Zachary that it’s too late to apologize after making a mistake."Ross would only repeat the exact words to Zachary, an

Ross agreed and turned to leave.Jane kicked the door open with her foot, then stepped onto the balcony, and Whitney quickly came to help.After setting the breakfast down, she noticed something was wrong.Jane and Charlotte exchanged a glance.Jane asked in confusion, "Why are there things in here that neither Charlotte nor I like to eat?""It seems that Zachary and Frank were a bit careless."Whitney quickly said, "I can eat what you don't like."She wasn't picky about food, it was just that she used to not have enough to eat, so she had always eaten less and stayed thin.Jane hadn't heard Ross mention that Caleb had come.She said, "Don't you think Caleb specifically bought this for you?"Whitney was puzzled.Charlotte pointed and said, "The things we like to eat were all prepared by Frank and Zachary. They wouldn't purposely prepare things we don't eat. So, what do you think the extra food is for?"Whitney was momentarily stunned.She thought it was because Jane had or

Whitney washed up and went straight to bed.She didn't have the habit of playing on her phone before bed.Before coming to Nelana, all her work had been handed over.If something urgent came up, someone would call her.So she didn't check her phone, and thus missed Caleb's message.Caleb was on the hotel balcony, with his phone placed on the small coffee table.He held a glass of wine, swaying it absentmindedly.His gaze, however, remained fixed on the phone.But even when it got to dawn, there was no reply from Whitney.The man curved his lips slightly and lit a cigarette.He leaned against the balcony railing, waiting for the sun to rise.Whitney woke up in the morning, went to wash up, and after she finished, took a book from her luggage and went to sit on the swing on the balcony to read.As she passed the kitchen, she made herself a cup of coffee.She didn't like to move much, most of her time was spent on improving herself.She tried to learn as much as possible.S

Westley didn't say anything either.Zachary and Frank were a team, he was no match for them in an argument.His relationship with Caleb wasn't that close, so it was impossible for the latter to help him."They're having barbecue for lunch," said Frank, locking his phone. "They just ordered the ingredients."Jordan found two power strips and moved the pot to the balcony."Good thing we have these, otherwise, we wouldn't be able to eat.""Why do you have so many pots left in this house?" asked Whitney."I lived here for a while before," Jordan placed the plates and cutlery down. "I also feel like leaving these things here makes it seem like Grandpa is still around."Whitney apologized.Jordan smiled and reassured her, "It's fine. No need to apologize. From now on, we're good friends."Whitney nodded and smiled in agreement, "Alright.""By the way, Jordan.""What's up, Jane?"Jane said, "Both Zachary and Frank have booked hotels, so they don’t to stay here. It can't fit them

Jordan and Whitney chatted casually.Most of the time, it was Jordan doing the talking while Whitney listened.After covering enough about the wedding, they talked about Jordan's work over the past few years.She also mentioned the tangled feelings and past with Westley.When she got to that part, she grew a little curious. "Whitney, before you married Caleb, did you ever like anyone?"Whitney shook her head."What about a secret crush?""Not even that."Whitney rarely talked to others about her past.Zachary only knew because he had looked into her and thought she was perfectly suited to be a pawn.And she had needed to become that pawn—to completely sever ties with her past, achieve her goals, and fulfill her ambitions."I was too busy studying and working to think about anything else."Jordan sensed she didn't want to go further, so she didn't press.Just then, Jane called, saying she and Charlotte would arrive soon and join them for lunch.She relayed the message to W

"We had a meal together before, and I noticed you always seemed to like sweet dishes, so I tried buying some. I was worried it might not suit your taste.""It does, it does." Jordan took a bite of the pudding. "It's delicious. But did you buy anything you like to eat?"Whitney said, "I already had breakfast. I can't eat anymore."Jordan offered a suggestion, "Why not try a bite of this sponge cake? It's a specialty here in Nelana."Whitney really couldn't eat any more. She had a small appetite, a condition built up over the years.If she ate a full meal, she couldn't eat snacks afterward. And if she ate snacks, she would lose her appetite for meals.She had a small stomach.But seeing Jordan looking at her so expectantly, she still picked up a piece of sponge cake and took a bite."It's very good."Jordan smiled and took a big bite of the sponge cake herself."Whitney, you're so good at picking food! This is great!"The old house was a bit remote, but it had a rooftop terrac

Jordan said Whitney would be coming over later.Westley hadn't expected that the first one to get out of bed would actually be Whitney."Just the two of you?" he asked."For now, yes."Jordan glanced at her phone. In the group chat, it was just her and Whitney talking—no response yet from Jane or Charlotte.She more or less knew why Jane hadn't responded, but Charlotte too?Still, it didn't really matter. There weren't any specific plans for today anyway.She hadn't known Whitney was coming, so it was a nice surprise."Maybe my sister will text me around noon. We can decide what to do then.""You." She pointed at Westley. "You are not allowed to show up in front of me again after breakfast."Westley nodded. "Got it."After buying food, Whitney told Caleb, "I'm going to find Jordan. You can go handle your stuff. I'll be staying at her place until the wedding."Caleb leaned against the elevator wall, his voice low and lazy. "You're telling me what to do?"Whitney wasn't in a

She replied with an emoji, then looked for her girls in the group chat to ask them out for food.Their group chat had a new member now—Whitney.And it was Whitney who replied to her."I'm already eating at the hotel. Do you want to come over, or should I bring something to you later?"Whitney had actually had a good night's sleep.Though it was a bit later than her usual habit, she still managed to get up for breakfast.Before, it was always Caleb who brought breakfast to the bedside and fed her, because she simply couldn't get out of bed.Jordan figured she was probably having breakfast with Caleb and decided not to bother her."No need, I'll just eat something nearby. Your hotel isn't close to me."Whitney replied. "I'm heading over later anyway, but I'll probably be a bit late. If you're hungry, go ahead and eat something first. I'll bring you something else."Jordan. "Thanks."Whitney. "No problem."Caleb noticed her holding her phone, her expression much softer, even t

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
