Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 444
In Jelaston, at a private club.Glasses clinked and the atmosphere was lively.The man sitting in the main seat wore a high-end suit, his expression on his flawless face was very neutral, showing no sign of joy or anger.But even without saying a word, his presence alone was enough to dominate the entire room.The man sitting to his right, Felix Langford, stood up with a glass of wine. "Mr. Frost, we are absolutely sincere about this project. Whatever conditions the RF Group has, we can agree to."Whether the project was profitable or not was not important.What mattered was connecting with the RF Group.In Jelaston now, who wouldn’t want to work with the RF Group?One would show their sincerity by starting with a project. The rest could come later.However, having said this, the man in the main seat didn't even raise his head.Clearly, such gestures of goodwill were nothing new to the RF Group.Ryan glanced at his watch, then stood up calmly. "Since there's nothing new, you

He hoarsely said, "Let’s head home."The driver obediently headed towards Ryan’s house.Then came the three words from behind, "Go to Moon Lake Bay."The driver hesitated for a moment.He glanced at Ryan's expression in the rearview mirror, then turned the car around at the intersection.The rain continued to fall, pounding on the car body, but Ryan felt as if it was still pelting down on him.Bit by bit, it extinguished the inherent pride and nobility that was deeply ingrained in him.The car stopped in the courtyard of the Moon Lake Bay villa. Before the driver could open an umbrella, Ryan had already ignored the rain and stepped out of the car.Entering this villa again, entering the home he shared with Charlotte.He felt a disorienting sense of being lost in time.As if, just yesterday, after coming back from drinking at a social event, Charlotte would still be there, welcoming him the moment she heard the noise, helping him to the sofa.Carefully making him a hangover s

Ryan rarely heard her use that kind of tone.When they were together, Charlotte was mostly calm and gentle.She was adept at work and organized in life.She rarely spoke with such a girlish tone.Ryan ended the call in a panic, his large hand slipping and the phone thudding softly onto the carpet.It revealed a hint of the owner's helplessness.Ryan had originally wanted to ask, to confirm what exactly her relationship with Frank was.But hearing her happy tone, he no longer had the courage to ask or confirm.He knew well that he dared not, and did not deserve to.Moreover, even if he asked, what would it change?She was so wonderful, deserving of anyone's affection.In the end, his sudden realization seemed somewhat trivial compared to Frank's unwavering devotion over the years.But fortunately, he still had plenty of time.Frank could wait.So could he.He thought, in a despicable way, that as long as they weren't married, he might have a chance to seize the opportunit

On the other end of the line. "No, the other one.""The other one?"Felix wracked his brain but had no impression at all. However, knowing that he could only find out so much from his girlfriend, he didn't dwell on it for too long. "Alright, got it. Thanks, sweetheart. Love you."After a few more endearing words, he hung up and dialed his assistant."Find out immediately about the two founders of the Charlotte Jewelry. I need their profiles and photos."If he could help Ryan win back his ex-wife, he would likely become a distinguished guest of RF Group from then on.What was there to worry about?The next day, thinking about Frank going back to the Smith family that night, I felt a bit uneasy after finishing Yasmin's dress.Jane saw through it and said, "There's no point in being anxious, and do you think Frank would fall in the same place twice?""I'm just worried...""Worried about what?"Jane smiled, pulling me down onto the sofa, "Do you think, to Frank, you are more i

Over the past couple of days, I had been periodically reviewing the events of that night. The juice was handed to me by a waiter. If the target wasn't me, the chances of it being handed to me would be very low. However, among everyone at the banquet, I only recognized a few people, Yasmin, Joanne, and Ryan. None of them were possible culprits. Yasmin's care for me was evident. Joanne was with her, so she definitely wouldn't have drugged me. As for Ryan, it was even more impossible.That left only Christine, someone with who had a grudge against me.Moreover, I could sense Christine's hostility to some extent. I just didn't know what her motive was.Upon hearing the question, Christine's expression froze, and then she looked at me with a confused face, "I drugged you? What kind of drug?"I smiled and countered, "You drugged me. Don't you know what kind of drug it was?"Actually, I wasn't sure if it was her. It was just a test.Christine was about to speak when Yasmin walked over

"Graduated from a prestigious school, impressive resume," the assistant answered.But what he found was only Charlotte's domestic resume.Felix was dismissive. "What's a good resume going to do? The Frost family is wealthy and powerful. they don't need their wife's resume to make an impression."The assistant guessed, "Well... maybe Mr. Frost just prefers this type of woman?"Men have different tastes and preferences. Some like red roses, while others prefer gardenias.Felix took this in and, flipping through the documents, pondered, "So she's in Jeswood now?""Yes.""Let's go."Felix grabbed his car keys and was ready to leave in a hurry. The longer he delayed, the greater the chance the project would fall into someone else's hands. And he was determined to win it."Mr. Lennox..." The assistant hesitated. "We... we can't afford to offend them either."Felix paused for a moment. "What do you mean?"It was just the founder of the Charlotte Jewelry. Besides, he wasn't going to

Although I had thought about it, I still felt uneasy. Would finding her really be the same as I imagined? She might have already started a family, had children, and be living a happy life. My appearance might just be a stone disturbing her stable life. Moreover, with the silver pendant lost two years ago, finding her would be even more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.Unexpectedly, Yasmin said, "I can help you, whether it's through public searches or private inquiries. It's up to you how you want to proceed."I was surprised. "Really?""Of course." Yasmin nodded, glanced at Christine, who was juicing in the kitchen, with a gentle and obviously maternal gaze. "If someone had been willing to help Christine in the past, perhaps I could have recognized her sooner.""You and Christine..." I hesitated slightly. "Were you separated before?"If that were the case...I had to wonder if Christine's true identity was really Yasmin's daughter. Two years ago, she had deceive
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 451
Even if I said more, she might still choose not to believe me and doubt Christine, her "biological daughter".I placed the juice on the coffee table, picked up my bag, and said, "Ms. Jackson, sorry to disturb you today."After Christine left the living room, Yasmin suddenly relaxed. The hatred in her heart surged again. However, as she calmed down, she felt something was off. She picked up her phone and called Joanne."Joanne, see if you can find out if there were any grievances between Christine and Charlotte two years ago."‘From the way Charlotte acted earlier, it didn't seem like she just wanted to chat. It seemed more like a reminder of something.’"Sure!" said Joanne. She then asked curiously, "What's going on? Why the sudden need to look into this matter?""I'm not sure yet."Yasmin couldn't explain it and continued, "Also, find out when Charlotte's birthday is."She couldn't make sense of the connections at the moment. But her intuition told her to investigate.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

"But your reaction just now didn’t seem like you knew I was here."Jane tried to pull her leg back, but when she couldn't, she slapped him in frustration."It was called acting, understand? I didn't want you to look embarrassed, so I got those two out of the way first."Zachary rubbed her ankle with his thumb, as if he believed her. "Then should I be thanking you—for being so considerate?"Jane couldn't be bothered to argue. "Let go. I want to drink.""I'll drink with you."Meanwhile, Frank held Charlotte close and asked in a low voice, "Did she really know we were here?"Charlotte nodded. "What do you think? You really think Jane would mess around during her marriage? She might be bold, but she has boundaries. But you guys really are annoying."Frank hooked her chin with his thumb. "I knew it. You're being cold to me because you're sick of me. I've said it so many times, and you still wouldn't admit it."After saying that, he picked her up and walked out of the bar.He hadn'

Charlotte nudged him with her elbow, warning him not to stir things up.Jordan truly didn't dare to stay any longer. "Westley, take me home.""Okay." Westley finally got up. "You all take your time. If it gets too late, don't go back to the old house—just find a place to crash.""But..." Jordan suddenly felt like leaving wasn't such a good idea. "Maybe I'll stay and play a bit more."Westley simply dragged her out."Jane and Zachary...""You can't control what they do, so why bother worrying over nothing?"Jordan was settled into the passenger seat, her seatbelt fastened firmly.She didn't resist, mostly because she felt what Westley said made sense.Jane was way more capable than she was. This kind of minor drama would be easy for her to handle.Plus, with the smart and composed Charlotte around—It was better if she didn't add to the chaos.Once Westley got into the driver's seat, she asked, "Why did you guys show up? Especially you—didn't you say no seeing each other a w

But it was just a polite gesture—if they had been singing inside, they wouldn't have heard her anyway.So after knocking, she pushed the door open and went in.Charlotte and the others followed to take a look.When they saw the scene inside, they gasped.The four men from home were sitting around a cards table, all eyes on the door, each with a different expression.Zachary looked at Jane, who entered first, and said with a smile, "Honey, pick someone you like and give him a kiss."Jane took a step back and bumped into Charlotte's arms.That was when she noticed the big screen beside them—it was showing their own private room."You were watching us?"Zachary tapped the cards on the table with his long fingers, still smiling."If we weren't watching, how would we get to enjoy such an entertaining scene?"They had all been drinking.Whitney didn't hold her liquor well. She was already a little dazed. Although the room was fairly bright, everything seemed a little off to her.

Caleb didn't respond. Instead, he looked at Westley and played a card.Westley won.And it was a big pot as well.He cocked his brows. "Is this your wedding gift to me, Caleb?"Caleb asked, "Your wedding—Dr. Greyson won't be absent, will he? I heard you two are very close. You've been at death's door multiple times, and he's the one who saved you."Westley nodded. "Theoretically, yes. But I'm not sure if he might have some emergency.""Besides, it's not like you, Caleb, can't reach him. You helped him last time. It's impossible he'd ignore you now."Caleb could contact Carter, but if he did, it would mean helping Carter meet Mandy.He had no interest in meddling in romantic matters—too troublesome.But he couldn't get in touch with Tanner at all.Technically, there was no real need for him to attend Westley's wedding.Even if Whitney was invited by Jane, he himself wasn't obligated.He simply wanted to go, hoping to "accidentally" run into Carter.That way, it wouldn't loo

Frank pulled her into his arms and asked, "You really have to go out for drinks?"Charlotte nodded. "It's a girls-only night. No men allowed.""Oh?" The man repeated slowly and deliberately, "No… men… allowed?"Charlotte saw the look on his face and knew exactly what he was thinking."Only women. Even the drinks are for women.""Oh? Tell me, how do you tell if a drink is male or female?"Charlotte lightly patted his face twice. "The drinks women drink are for women. Got it?"Frank laughed. "Got it."Over on Jane's end, after finishing her call, she was about to go look for Jordan, but Zachary pulled her into the room and pinned her against the wall.His warm lips covered hers, then quickly pulled away.With his forehead against hers, the man asked, "Going out for drinks?"Jane hooked his chin with her finger. "What, Mr. Collins, trying to seduce your way into a drinking invitation?"Zachary chuckled lowly, kissed her again, and asked, "May I?""No."Jane rejected him comp

Jordan had grown up in the Howard family, but the person who had taken care of her since she was little had an old house.She arranged for Jane and the others to stay there, and she would also be getting married from that house.She didn't have many friends. Originally, Leanne was supposed to be her bridesmaid. Although she had a child, she had never been married.But Leanne wasn't sure if she could make it back in time, so she let Jane and Charlotte take over as substitutes for now. They would adjust accordingly later."Try on the dress. If there's a problem, I can still make adjustments."With the help of the two of them, Jordan put on the wedding dress.But Jane was most looking forward to the wedding dress.Both her and Charlotte's weddings were going to be Cherian style.Jordan, however, wanted a Western-style one.And Charlotte, who had designed clothes for many years, had never actually designed a wedding dress before.This was her first attempt, and she was very excit

"Okay, I won't bring it up anymore."Westley walked over with Jonathan and sat down.Miranda was very satisfied. "Finally, Jordy can have dinner with me again."Jordan smiled. "I'm also happy. I can still call you Mom.""Then let's drink to that.""Okay."Westley waited for the "mother and daughter" to finish speaking, then threw out a big announcement. "By the way, our wedding is on the 22nd of next month."Clang!The spoon in Miranda's hand fell."What did you say?""On the 22nd of next month, Jordy and I are getting married. We sincerely invite you and your husband to attend."Jordan was also shocked.She only knew that Charlotte's dress was being made, and they were picking the wedding date.But Westley hadn't told her about this in advance."Next month, it's almost the New Year.""Yes, it's a wedding before the New Year. Then we'll celebrate the New Year at home. I'm informing you in advance, my dear mom. You can prepare for the the New Year Eve dinner.""The New Y

Jonathan almost spit out the tea he was drinking."You have principles now?""Not the right time to talk nonsense."Westley. "Do you always talk in a way that pokes others' pain points?"Jonathan smiled for a moment. "If you've done it, don't be afraid of people talking about it."Westley didn't want to continue the conversation and stood up to leave.He went to the kitchen to find Jordan and found her eating ravioli."Didn't you say you'd help?" Westley sat next to her. "How come you're eating secretly? Give me a bite?"Jordan guarded the food. "It’s in the kitchen. There's still plenty in the pot.""But I want to eat from your bowl.""But I don't want to give you any."Westley laughed. "Okay."But while Jordan took a bite of the ravioli, he kissed her.Jordan's eyes widened as she felt the ravioli in her mouth being stolen away."You're disgusting."Westley smiled. "Sweet."Jordan couldn't eat anymore and pushed the remaining ravioli to him. "I'm not eating anymore."
