Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 453
The living room remained silent. Although Luke had left, Frank was still around.The Smith family had long been wary of him, and with the current situation, their apprehension only grew.Madam Smith gave Frank a reproachful look. "You unruly child, aren’t you going to see your grandfather? He's been looking forward to your return!"Since Sir Smith's heart attack two years ago, his health had deteriorated significantly. He rarely made appearances at family dinners. Knowing that Frank might come back today, Madam Smith and Mrs. Smith had kept this information from Sir Smith, fearing he might clash with Luke again. That was why Sir Smith hadn't attended the family dinner.Frank's previous hostility had vanished,. He quickly stood up and said, "Alright, I'll go now."Megan, who had been standing aside, immediately said, "Frank, I'll go with you."In the study of the Smith family's residence.As soon as Luke entered, he kicked Lucas away!He was filled with frustration. "Wha

The atmosphere was tense.Anyone with a keen eye could see that Luke was grinding his teeth in frustration!However, everyone present was aware that the father and son had long been at odds.The younger generation showed no respect for the elder, and the elder showed no love for the younger. It was a family trait, perhaps a matter of genetic disposition.As Madam Smith would put it, this was called "everyone had their own kryptonite."Since Luke, as the only son of the Smith family, was careless with his private life, he shouldn't be surprised if Frank didn't take him seriously.Madam Smith was actually pleased to see Frank suppressing his father.Just as everyone thought Luke might erupt in anger, he approached Frank, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "You rascal, fine, I'm asking you as a favor to clean up this mess for your brother.""Brother?" Frank sneered, his eyes cold, and glanced towards Mrs. Smith. "Mom, when did you give birth to a brother for me?"

Jelaston, the RF Group.Having just finished an urgent meeting, Ryan walked out of the conference room.Gary hurriedly followed, reporting, "That Smith family illegitimate son just called to confirm the news about our cooperation with SZ Technology.""Okay."Ryan didn't seem to care, striding towards his office.It was just another round of internal strife within the Smith family. The real question was whether Frank had the capability to decisively defeat his opponents this time.Gary was somewhat puzzled. "Why are we cooperating with SZ Technology at this crucial moment?"Publicly, the RF Group indeed needed SZ Technology's patented technology, but there was no need to collaborate at this particular time.Privately, since I had run off with Frank, why was the president still helping his rival?Ryan tugged at his tie and sat down as he turned to look at Gary. "Do you really think that if I don't cooperate with him, he won't be able to fight them off?"Lucas had ambition but l

"Felix?" I frowned. "I'm not Mrs. Frost, and I don't know you. Please step aside.""Do you know Mr. Frost then?"Felix didn't seem to have any ill intent. His tone even had a hint of ingratiation as he explained, "Don't worry, I mean no harm."I took a step back, looking at him in confusion. "So who are you...?"From his words, it seemed like he was quite familiar with Ryan. But what he wanted from me was unclear.Felix took on a sympathetic tone. "Mrs. Frost, I know you and Mr. Frost just divorced not long ago, but don't you think it's a bit of a pity?""Huh?" I looked at him and sneered. "Are you bored or something?"Felix chuckled awkwardly. "Please don't be angry. I saw Mr. Frost looking lost and disheartened over you the other day. I'm just afraid you might miss out on such a good man.""Did he send you?" I asked.Ryan wouldn't use such an indirect approach.Felix quickly shook his head. "Of course not. It's just... it's been a while since the divorce. No matter the reas

On the way back to Jelaston.Felix found it hilarious how I had completely disregarded him earlier. Since the easy way didn't work, he decided to use a harder approach. He didn't believe he couldn't handle a single woman. ‘As long as Charlotte went back to Ryan, everything would be settled. Ryan would be so overwhelmed with joy at having her back that he wouldn't care about the methods used to achieve it.’‘As for Frank, it was unlikely he would fall out with Ryan over a woman. The Smith family's heir was just passing time with a woman.’ Felix had seen enough of these kinds of situations to believe that Frank wasn’t serious about me.With these thoughts in mind, Felix crossed his legs and made a phone call. "Hello, it's me. Whatever method you use... fuck!"The car suddenly came to a sharp stop. Sitting in the back seat and too lazy to fasten his seatbelt, he was thrown forward into the seat in front of him due to the momentum!It hurt so much that he cursed out loud!The leg

There was nothing else. And all of this was only related to Charlotte. Besides that, there was no other way to provoke Frank. However, Felix, who had always maintained a facade of stability while enjoying a good time outside, was unwilling to believe that Frank's drastic actions were all for Charlotte! The words Felix had said to Charlotte were all about persuading her to reconcile with Ryan. While he had kept this from Ryan, he had still acted under Ryan's name. Outsiders would naturally associate him with Ryan. Would Frank really risk offending Ryan over this?Alan looked at him indifferently. "Frank asked me to tell you, if you provoke him again, it won't be as simple as breaking a leg."With that, Alan turned to leave.Felix, still shocked, quickly asked, "May I ask... what is Ms. Wilson's relationship with Mr. Smith?" He needed to understand how badly he had offended Frank today. If it was just about standing up for a lover, then if he could humble himself for a w

Yasmin blurted out, "What a coincidence?"Two years ago, Christine had impersonated Charlotte, the eldest daughter of the Shaw family. Christine and Charlotte had the same birthday. They were born in the same hospital. It might be normal if only one or two of these coincidences happened, but all of them coming together was strange. Yasmin began to carefully review the documents, and Joanne spoke up at the right moment, "Yes, I also think... isn't it a bit too coincidental?""It is."The more Yasmin read, the more serious her expression became. Additionally, with Christine's "previous offenses" of impersonating someone else, Yasmin had to be more careful. She loved Christine, of course. She would do anything for her. But that was only if Christine was truly her daughter! Joanne, realizing the gravity of the situation, looked alarmed and raised her voice a bit. "Could it be that Ms. Wilson is actually...""Shush." Yasmin frowned and interrupted, glancing toward the

They were in the open, while the other party was in the dark. It was impossible to guard against everything.The search for her daughter had been a private affair before Christine was identified. Very few people knew about it, and they were all reliable.It was unclear which link in the chain leaked information, giving the other party an opportunity.Yasmin thought about her attitude towards Charlotte, feeling a pang of anxiety. "If I'm wrong, then my real daughter is very likely Charlotte... right?""Yes," Joanne answered straightforwardly. "Actually, don't you think Charlotte resembles you quite a bit?""Resembles in appearance?""That's one way to put it." Joanne nodded, then shifted her focus. "But the main thing is her attitude. Doesn't she remind you of how you were when you were younger?"Yasmin frowned. "What do you mean?""She's ruthless when it comes to dealing with scumbags."Joanne smiled. "She and Ryan have also cut ties completely."Yasmin disagreed. She seemed

He placed some meat on her plate and asked, "Don't you like being close to me? Or do you still think our relationship isn't suitable for closeness right now?"Jordan couldn't really explain.Westley answered for her, "Do you think the development between us is different from others? So it's awkward?"Jordan thought for a moment, and it seemed like that was the case.Westley continued, "So you still want to go through a process before we get to the point where we can kiss in a romantic relationship?"Jordan fell silent.Westley said, "If you have something to say, just say it. There's nothing we should be embarrassed about between us."Jordan bit her cutlery, and after a few seconds, she said, "Before we remarry, we can maintain a working relationship. We can eat together, do some things together, but we can't have any intimate behavior. Can you accept that?"Westley obviously couldn't accept it.He didn't really understand why she wanted it that way.But he still went along w

"Otherwise, would you listen to something you don't want to hear?"Jordan didn't want to argue with him. "I'll say this one last time... Mm!"Her lips were sealed, and when Jordan tried to push him away, she kept punching his shoulder.She tilted her head to dodge, but he firmly held her by the back of her head.She opened her mouth to bite him, but he grabbed her face, deepening the kiss.In the quiet office, with only the two of them, the sound of water droplets, which made hearts race and faces flush, could be heard.Jordan, unable to take it anymore, kicked him.But his long legs held her down.She was completely at his mercy, unable to move at all."Um..."It wasn't until the sound of a knock on the door broke the intimate atmosphere."I'm here for the interview... Is this a bad time?"As soon as Westley released her, Jordan immediately pushed him away, wiping her lips forcefully.She stomped on him hard and tried to calm her emotions as she looked toward the door."

Jordan went to sit on the sofa and casually raised her hand toward him."Go on."Westley looked at her, noticing how she resembled a boss, a look that had some of his own influence in it.He smiled.Jordan shot him a glare. "Be serious.""Alright."Westley sat up straight, looking serious.He began to explain his previous plans to her.Except for parts of the plan that needed to be kept confidential, he didn't hide anything else."The reason I had you stab me was indeed to let you vent your anger, to make up for the harm I've caused you. It was just a coincidence that the higher-ups issued an order at the same time, so I decided to go along with it. Now, the plan has been completed. I can indeed come back to life, but right now, there's nothing I need to do. The Howard family has Leanne, and I've already resigned. I'm just a jobless wanderer now, and no one cares. Whether I'm alive or not doesn't really matter."Jordan felt that those last two sentences were clearly meant to

But when she reached the bedroom door, ready to go out and check, she thought again, how could he, such a grown man, possibly be putting himself through hardship?With so many people under him, he could just call anyone to bring him clothes.And he could book a comfortable presidential suite for himself.There was no need for her to be concerned about it.Besides, it was her who had locked him out in the first place.Going out now would only make it seem like she cared about him too much.Right.She shouldn't go out.Jordan returned to her bed.But no matter what, she couldn't fall asleep.In the living room, Westley was already lying on the sofa.The heating was turned up high, so he wasn't worried about the cold.He was holding his phone, making some kind of plan.In the end, Jordan didn't even know how she fell asleep.When she woke up groggily, the first thing she did was get up and check on Westley.But she found that he wasn't there anymore.She let out a sigh of

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
