Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 406
Once again, Frank and I were both awkwardly caught off guard. I tugged at Grandma's arm. "Grandma, about that…""Soon."Frank abruptly interrupted me, speaking to Grandma in a gentle and polite tone, "Grandma, I'll marry her soon. You focus on taking care of yourself. Once you've recovered, we can hold the wedding."I was dumbfounded.The person making this statement didn't even glance at me, as if the matter was completely unrelated to me.Grandma was thrilled, her eyes shining with delight. "Really?""Really," Frank answered with a smile.I changed the subject. "Grandma, let's have breakfast quickly. Prof. Kilburn will be here soon."Judging by the time, Prof. Kilburn was probably finishing his breakfast too. After Bethany and her mother left, I had sent a message to Prof. Kilburn's assistant, informing them that the matter was resolved.I wasn't wrong about the timing. Grandma had just finished breakfast when Prof. Kilburn and his team returned.Since Prof. Kilburn was

Alana, unable to resist, said, "You've probably had a tough time these past two years too, haven't you?"I was taken aback. "How did you know?""I guessed." She smiled helplessly, appearing like a thoughtful older sister. "Although we haven't interacted much, I can tell you're not the kind of woman who plays both sides.""Giving up on him back then must have been unavoidable, right?" It was a question, but her tone was certain.I wasn't surprised that she could guess this.Alana was the type who, despite seeming carefree, was actually very perceptive and attentive to details. In short, the Smith family seemed to be quite perceptive people.I had no reason to lie to her, so I nodded and admitted, "Yes, Frank's father came to find me. And then, Ryan… also promised that if I went back with him, he would help Frank.""You've had a hard time."Alana sounded a bit rueful, "It's a pity that Luke used such dirty tactics, almost causing Frank to suffer a setback. Actually, he did suff

She softened her gaze and asked, "And you? How is your depression…""I'm off medication now." I smiled. "I found a psychologist in Frankes through a friend, and I've been receiving treatment there for the past two years. The results have been quite good."At least, even when I recall past events or see people from back then, I no longer panic, tremble, or have suicidal thoughts.After returning to Jelaston, the night I unexpectedly saw Ryan at the hotel, my sleep had still been fairly good."That's great." Alana sighed in relief, glanced at the time, and said, "I should head to the airport now. I'll find a chance to explain things to him and give him a psychological preparation."She stood up, pointed to the room where Danny was, and said helplessly, "As for my son, you might need to take care of him a bit more during this time. Frank doesn't have the patience for him.""It's fine. I like kids too." I smiled as I walked her to the door. "Since Danny is still at home, I won't see
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 409
I was surprised. "So soon? When did you arrive in Jelaston?""This afternoon." Jack laughed. "Do you want to go out for dinner or eat at home? Do you need me to bring anything?""Hold on a moment." I moved the phone away, asked Danny quietly, "Sweetie, do you want to eat at home or go out tonight?""I want to eat the food made by Charlotte!" Danny answered instinctively, but then seemed to think of something and quickly added, "Hmm, never mind. I don’t want to go out, so can we just order takeaway? I can still treat you to dinner!"I brought the phone back to my ear and smiled. "Jack, you don't need to bring anything. Just come over."Jack nodded.After hanging up, I pinched Danny's soft cheek and asked, "You just said you want to taste my cooking, right? Why don't you want to now?""Uncle warned me.""Warned you about what?""Uncle said…" The little one mumbled, "Not to cause you any trouble. If you gets tired, he will go and defeat Superman!""Defeat Superman?""Yeah!"Da

Danny looked up at me. "Charloote, how do you spell 'Uncle'?""U-N-C-L-E, got it?""Yeah."After a moment, he looked up again. "How do you spell 'home'?""H-O-M-E."Just as I finished speaking, the doorbell rang.I got up to answer the door and, looking outside, was both surprised and delighted, "Dilan!""Woof woof woof!"A white Samoyed jumped onto me, rubbing against me enthusiastically.I was overjoyed and turned to Jack, "Jack, I was just thinking about when to have Dilan shipped back to the country, and you've brought him over for me.""You're used to him. Having him around is good for you.""Thank you!" I looked at him gratefully. "Without you, my recovery wouldn't have been so quick."He teased, "Aren't you going to invite me in?""Please, come in!"I stepped back, and Dilan stayed close to me, showing his affection.As I led Jack to the living room, I noticed that Danny was no longer on the sofa.I looked around and finally stopped at the bathroom door, where I
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 411
Danny was the first to react, sliding off the sofa with agility and running to open the door, "Un... Thank you, sir!"The takeaway I ordered had arrived.I went over to take it, closed the door again, and patted Danny's little head. "Do you miss your uncle?""Uh… No." Danny shook his head. "I don't miss him. I just want to be with you. Charlotte, can I sleep with you tonight?""Only if your uncle agrees." I took his hand and led him to the dining area, then turned to Jack. "Jack, I ordered from a local restaurant in Jelaston. Come and try it.""Alright." Jack was not picky and would eat anything.As he moved to sit next to me, Danny climbed onto a chair from behind him, patted his waist, and said cutely, "Sir, can you sit on the other side? I want to sit next to Charlotte."Jack looked down at him, pinched his cheek, and said, "Okay."The meal, consisted of five dishes and the atmosphere was quite relaxed.Danny was very well-behaved. Given a spoon, he could manage his small p

Frank was quite unreasonable.I looked at him and said, "Stop making a fuss."As Jack mentioned, whether it was during college or two years ago, he was the one who helped me through it. If he hadn't saved me two years ago, gone to great lengths to find me a doctor, and introduced me to teachers, helping me achieve a sense of accomplishment in my career, I wouldn't have recovered from depression so quickly.I couldn't repay him in terms of feelings, but I should remember his kindness. Moreover, Jack had specially brought Dilan over for me today.Frank seemed to ignore what I said, not loosening his grip at all. I felt helpless and heard Jack say, "It's okay. You stay and have dinner with them."With that, he changed his shoes, turned, and left.As the door closed, I felt a pang of guilt. I suddenly pulled away from Frank's hand and said, "Are you satisfied now?""Pretty satisfied." Frank scrutinized me, his meaning unclear. "Are you angry?"Considering Danny was present and his

My eyes were slightly misty, and my heart ached. For a moment, I thought about just laying everything bare. If it had any impact on his condition, I would face it with him. It would be better than him constantly pondering and thinking I'm an unfaithful person.I shook my head. "No, Frank, these past two years I…""Forget it." Frank's smile was shallow, with an unmistakable tone of mockery. Yet, the corners of his eyes were red. "Charlotte, I shouldn't have had any expectations from you."His words were too harsh.I widened my eyes, trying to hold back the tears, and forced a semblance of relief. "If you say so."After all, in the past two years, despite my efforts to find out about him, I hadn't received any news.Like a passing shadow, it was as if nothing had ever happened.I didn't need to tell him about everything I had done. In his eyes, I am that indifferent and ungrateful person. As soon as he was rumored to be dead, I immediately moved on and found happiness with someo

"I want to explain."Westley embraced her, lowering his head to whisper, as though they were deeply in love."I won’t repeat the same mistakes again as before, and I won’t make the same mistake multiple times."Jordan shrank her neck, trying to avoid him.His warm breath brushed against her ear, it was ticklish.But she couldn’t break free from him, so she could only try to move away as much as possible."Let go of me first."Westley lowered his head and kissed her ear."Since you’re here, let’s finish what we started."Jordan was unwilling. "You handle your own problems, don’t drag me into your competition with other women."Westley stared at her for a moment, not loosening his arm but pulling her closer."She already holds a grudge against you. It’s safer for you to stay by my side. Oh, by the way, just so you know, she’s a princess."Jordan slapped the cream cake in her hand right onto his face.She couldn’t hide her emotions, anger clearly written on her face.She wan

Jordan finally finished planting all the saplings and now all she had to do was wait for them to bloom.But she probably wouldn’t be able to see the flowers. She hoped the pear trees would grow wildly here."Mrs. Howard." Buck brought her a dress. "Mr. Howard said that there is a party tonight and would like to request your company."Jordan refused without hesitation.Buck added, "There’s also an auction, with many fun and interesting items. Don’t you want to buy gifts for your sister and little nephew?"Mentioning her sister and nephew made Jordan waver.Jane liked interesting things, and Jordan couldn’t easily go out on her own to gather them.And now, she had the opportunity.But she didn’t want to attend the event with Westley."Mrs. Howard, if I were you, I would go."Jordan ignored him. He was on Westley’s side.Buck’s mouth twitched, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "When Mr. Howard broke your heart, you should have asked for more money from him, to get revenge and s

Carter had hit a wall at every turn.He had also been poked at his sore spot, and his long-established cold and distant persona was on the verge of crumbling."Forget about Zachary and the others, after all, they’re not very close. But how long have I known you? You won't help? I even helped you persuade Jordan."Westley didn’t fall for it. "As for you and Mandy, no one can help. I can’t bring her to Nelana now. You can try convincing Zachary, maybe there’s still a chance."Wasn’t that just stating the obvious?Carter said, "If I could get Zachary's help, would I be telling you all this?"Westley replied, "That’s your problem. Who told you to force her? Back then, she was just a young girl, barely an adult. It’s normal for her to be afraid of you and find you disgusting."A flash of sadness appeared in Carter's eyes."I was just too angry back then. It wasn’t intentional...""I’ve said that too." Westley put down the binoculars. "You saw my outcome. Obviously, it was useless."

"Jane, don't argue with Zachary. This time, I am staying here voluntarily," said Jordan."I’ve made a bet with Westley, and there will be a resolution in the end."Jane nodded. "I can let you handle this matter yourself, but you have to promise me that you won’t let yourself get hurt, and you won’t just keep sacrificing yourself. If it becomes unbearable, give it up. I’ll always be here to support you."Jordan nodded. "Okay."The two sisters chatted for a long time, and only when Jane started to feel sleepy did they end the video call.Jordan handed the phone to Buck and closed the door to her room.Buck was left standing there.He felt like he had been completely abandoned, as if everything around him had fallen apart.Anyway, as a sandwich in the middle, he was already crushed, so it didn’t matter anymore.For several days, Jordan got up to eat, and the food was always food prepared by the chef.She hadn’t seen Westley around.She couldn’t really say how she felt. She just

"He is faking his psychological illness," Jordan rebutted.Even if he had one, it had nothing to do with her.Even she didn’t have any psychological issues, how could someone with such a strong mind like Westley have any psychological issues?He shouldn’t blame her for everything.Having seen enough, she turned around and walked away.But Carter called her back. "He once took good care of you, and you're going to be this heartless?"Jordan wasn’t familiar with Carter. He was usually a man of few words with a cold personality.If she greeted him, he wouldn’t respond. If she talked too much, she might get an icy look in return.She really didn’t expect that one day, he would try to mediate between her and Westley."You should focus more on your own matters," she said.His own love life was a mess, so what right did he have to interfere in hers?Jordan’s emotions were written all over her face, she didn’t hide them.Carter could guess how she was feeling just by looking at her

Jane didn’t care about Westley. Even if he was feeling it now, it was too late for regrets.If he hadn’t acted the way he did, Jordan wouldn’t have suffered so much.Moreover, he had once ignored her cries for help, so now he shouldn’t blame Jordan for his injuries.“How’s my sister?” she asked.Roy replied, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Collins, Ms. Hickey is doing fine. Except for the lack of freedom, there are no other restrictions.”“When can I have a video call with her?”Roy thought for a moment. “Since Mr. Howard is now delirious, I can make the arrangements.”“Thank you,” said Jane.“It’s no trouble, it’s my job.”After hanging up the phone, Jane looked at Zachary and asked, “What do you think?”Zachary moved the phone a little farther away to avoid radiation.After finishing the massage, he helped her lie down and said, “I’m thinking what you’re thinking.”Jane gave him a sidelong glance. “You’re slick.”Zachary smirked and bent down to kiss her forehead.“Get some rest.”

"Mrs. Howard—"Buck watched helplessly as Jordan jumped into the sea.Before he could rush over, a figure was even faster than him."Sir!"Westley dived into the water, found Jordan, and dragged her to the shore.When Jordan was pulled onto the shore, she was still a bit dazed.Wasn't she just swimming? Why was there so much fuss?Buck gestured for people to bring a stretcher, lifted Westley onto it, and hurried back.Buck also called for the maids to help Jordan back.Jordan wiped her face, pushed the maid aside, and twisted the water out of her hair. "What happened?"Buck was anxious to check on Westley, but he couldn’t stop watching Jordan, worried she might jump into the sea again and trying to think of other ways to prevent it."Mr. Howard was saving you.""Why?" Jordan was confused. "I didn’t drown. What’s the need to save me?"Buck recalled what he had seen earlier. It seemed like... swimming?"Weren’t you... jumping into the sea?""Yes." Jordan didn’t notice Buck

"Nathan, you should head back and deal with your own matters. Let's not interfere with Jordan's matters anymore."Nathan didn’t expect Jane to say this. He paused for a moment before speaking. "You know better than I do what Westley has done. How can we just ignore it? Jordan is still young and hasn’t experienced much in terms of relationships. She lacks experience, what if she falls again..."Jane knew what he was talking about and comforted him. "Don’t worry. Jordan may have experienced little in terms of relationships, but she’s not a foolish girl. She knows how to handle things."Nathan asked, "Is it because there’s something Westley knows?""No, it’s because we can't let Westley continue making a scene. This matter still needs to be handled by the person involved."Nathan didn’t say anything more and told Jane not to worry. When it was close to her delivery, he would come back.Jane agreed and hung up the phone.She threw the phone onto the counter and hugged Zachary from b

Charlotte raised her hand and gently patted Jane’s shoulder."I understand, after all, she's your sister. But I think Jordan is very smart and capable, she can take care of herself. You can worry, but at the same time, take care of your own health. Then, when she comes back, you can love her properly."Jordan walked around the island.There was a helipad on the mountain with two helicopters.Out at sea, there was a large cruise ship docked.But she didn’t know how to pilot any of them, so there was no way to escape.In the end, she decided to just accept things as they were.If there was a problem, she would deal with it. If not, she’d wait."Mrs. Howard, Jasmine is looking for you."When Jordan returned to the villa, Buck handed her a phone.Hearing Jasmine’s name, she took it."Jasmine.""I'm relieved you're okay," said Jasmine, letting out a sigh of relief, then apologizing. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have drunk so much.""It’s not your fault."Since Westley had a plan to
