Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 467
When I opened the door, there was a stranger standing outside.The man was dressed in a well-tailored suit vest, with a tall and upright posture, and a dark overcoat draped over his arm. He appeared to be in his thirties, with a dignified and inscrutable demeanor.He was like an elder.I didn't recognize this person and was momentarily confused. "Hello, who are you looking for?""Hello." He nodded slightly. "I'm looking for Daniel.""Daniel?"My brain briefly froze, then I realized and asked with a smile, "Is it Danny?""Yes.""And you are...?""I'm his father, Alex Jackson.""I see."His formal way of speaking made me quickly recall the few words Danny had used to introduce his father—an old-fashioned gentleman.Alex didn't rudely look inside the house but instead looked directly at me. "Today is the Jackson family's family dinner. I've come to pick him up."As far as I knew, the Jackson family was the most low-key but also the most intricate among the three great familie

Danny jumped up excitedly, gave me a quick kiss on the cheek, and said, "Aunt is the best!"Then he dashed towards the elevator and into his father's embrace.Alex carried the little one over and handed me back my phone, nodding politely. "I've already explained everything to Alana. I'll take Daniel with me now.""Aunt! I’ve got to go!" Danny blew me a kiss and said cutely, "But don't worry. I will be back before dark."‘You’re coming back?’I looked at him in surprise. Alex also furrowed his brows slightly, though he didn't say anything.I patted Danny's head. "Listen to your parents.""Okay!"The little one nodded vigorously."Ms. Wilson, we're leaving now. Sorry for the trouble," said Alex."It's... it's fine!"For some reason, Alex gave me a strong impression of an elder. Not just because of his demeanor, but there was an indescribable feeling about him.Alex carried the little one into the elevator, his tone calm. "You're not staying at home tonight, and you still want

Danny, listening from the side, pressed his pink lips together slightly to suppress his excitement.‘Daddy is going to find Mommy!’ he exclaimed inwardly.As long as Daddy works hard enough, no one else could be his stepfather.At the variety show recording site.The production team had rented fields from local villagers in advance, which included plots for vegetables and corn.After lunch, the program director handed out the task card—harvesting corn.The time was tight, and the task was heavy.It required the guests to work together.Christine looked bewildered and turned to Scarlet, whispering, "Scarlet, can I not go?"The corn fields were not close to the living quarters.She was afraid someone might take the opportunity to enter her room.Scarlet was a veteran in the entertainment industry, skilled in navigating social relationships. With just a few words, she could have Christine stay behind without anyone questioning it.Unexpectedly, Scarlet simply patted her should

After she got out of the car, I drove to SZ Technology.It was very close. I arrived in just a few minutes.After exiting the elevator, I walked to the front desk. "Hello, I'm here to see Mr. Smith.""Do you have an appointment?""No."I smiled, not wanting to put her in a difficult position, and said, "Please wait a moment, I'll call him."As I turned to take out my phone to call Frank, a woman's voice spoke up, "What's going on?"At the front desk, "Paulina, she says she's here to see Mr. Smith but doesn't have an appointment.""Here to see Mr. Smith?"The woman's voice held a hint of confusion. When I turned to look at her, I caught a fleeting emotion in her eyes that was too quick to discern. "Who are you? I know everyone Mr. Smith is close with, but I've never seen you before."Her words were a bit off-putting.So, I cooled my tone and replied coldly, "I'm Charlotte. Do you need to personally meet everyone Mr. Smith is close with to verify their identity?""No, you've

I nodded. "Yes.""I see."Frank's voice paused slightly, then he said with a hint of amusement, "Should I come pick you up?"I was still a bit annoyed, but hearing this, my irritation faded away. "No need. I drove here myself. But I need to check with Jane first. I might have to visit the store before coming to find you."Just as I finished speaking, Jane's call came in. I quickly told Frank, "I'll talk to you later. I need to take Jane's call."After answering the call, Jane's cheerful voice came through. "Charlotte, are you on your way?"I smiled. "I'm setting off."She teased with a grin, "Why don't you stay a bit longer with your man and enjoy some time together?"I laughed. "What's the matter?"Jane sighed. "The renovation company that just arrived isn't very good. I've scheduled another one. You'll just be bored waiting around.""Okay. Then... sorry for the trouble.""Trouble? My salary and shares are enough to make others envious." Jane finished with a laugh, but then

Zachary's awkwardness lasted only for a moment. Soon, he regained his composure, showing no emotion. "Yeah, I came with Charlie to take a look."Jane, dressed in a red dress that made her porcelain skin stand out, lazily glanced outside. "Where's Charlie?"Since that night when she celebrated Frank's birthday, Charlie had taken to sending her WhatsApp messages frequently. “Do you like this handbag? ““Is this necklace pretty?”“Want to go out for a drink?”It was obvious what he meant, and Jane, who wasn’t a naive girl, understood his intentions immediately."Jane." Zachary, who usually kept to himself, pointed out, "Charlie is interested in you, but he's not right for you."Upon hearing this, Jane cocked her brows in surprise. The phrase "he's not right for you" was different from "you're not right for him." While it sounded similar at first, it had a different essence, and it didn't carry the condescension typical of wealthy people.She couldn't help but laugh. "Isn't it a

I was so angry that I raised my hand to hit him. "Are you trying to embarrass me?"Frank laughed for a while, afraid that I might really get upset. He quickly wrapped his arms around my waist and said, "Okay, okay, don't get mad. They'll get to know you sooner or later.""Besides, it will make your access to the Smith Group much smoother in the future."Hearing this, I felt like a cat being petted the wrong way. "Couldn't you have chosen a different approach?""This is the most efficient way," he said confidently.I had no response. Suddenly, I realized that I seemed to have been led into a trap by him. "You know no shame! We're just dating, okay? Who's your wife!""Don't you want to marry me?" Frank's lips curved into a slight smile. "Should I marry someone else?""You won’t dare!"As I spoke, I looked up and met his bright eyes. He lowered his eyelids and glanced at the right hand I had been hiding behind my back. "What are you hiding?""Dog food."He snorted and, catching

Frank was emitting a cold aura.It was rare for him to be in such a state.Charlotte was still downstairs at the Smith Group headquarters, and when she called him and mentioned what Paulina had said, he was a bit surprised.Paulina claimed she didn't know Charlotte?When confirming Charlotte's identity initially, a part of the investigation had been assigned to them.In other words, they knew as much about Charlotte as Frank himself did.Connecting the dots, Frank thought back to the misunderstanding with Charlotte caused by the delay in Alan's information last time.Was it a genuine delay, or was it intentional?That matter was entrusted to Paulina to investigate.The person behind it couldn't possibly be Alan.But whether it was Alan or Paulina, both had been with him for nearly 20 years...They must have become too complacent, daring to challenge him now!He had given them too much power, and now they dared to bully his woman!Hearing this, Alan was even more convinced

‘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

Jordan spoke again as his car was about to drive into the underground car park. "The underground car park is very winding. Just drop me off in front of the building, make a U-turn, and you can leave."But Westley parked in the underground car park, at the parking space that was registered to her.Jordan unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car. Seeing that he got out too, she didn't think too much about it."Just drop me off here."Westley said calmly, "I'll send you upstairs and watch you go inside.""It's really safe here."Jordan couldn't argue with him. Though she said that, she still let him escort her upstairs.When she used her fingerprint to unlock the door, she said, "It's fine now.""I'll watch you go inside."Seeing his persistence, Jordan unlocked the door and entered.She planned to turn around and say goodbye, but she was suddenly pushed from behind.The sound of the door closing followed, and then she was hugged tightly from behind by the man.Only now d

Jordan thought for a moment, and a line of reasoning gradually became clear."Are you saying Nathan really is my brother?""Not exactly," said Westley. "He's related to you, he's your cousin."Jordan wasn't too surprised. "I see."Westley smiled. "You're much calmer when things happen now, but it still shows on your face. You need more practice."Jordan couldn't hide her emotions. She didn't show too much excitement, but she was still happy."Does my sister know?""Yes."Jordan blinked. "So, you all kept this from me, and I was the last to find out?"Westley pulled her up and headed for the dining room."We can talk while eating, it'll be cold if we wait."Jordan felt a little frustrated. "I'm so dumb."Westley peeled shrimp for her and said, "Nathan wanted to keep it a secret, so it's normal you didn't know.""But you all knew.""I knew because of my personality. You know me, if a stranger appears in front of me or you, I'll do a background check on him. Your sister know

He had someone redo the decoration, and there would always be someone there every day to do the cleaning.Today, he had originally planned to bring her back, cook for her, and had prepared all the ingredients.This wedding house, aside from the time when Jordan came to get the marriage certificate, she hadn't been here since—she went out to study and work.It was completely different from what she remembered.There were also many photos of them.From before the marriage, after the marriage, and even recently.Including the photos she had taken over the years—award-winning ones, those published in magazines, and those that made the trending searches."They're all here. You can look around. I'll call you when the food is ready."Jordan nodded and started to explore.She found a darkroom, which was specifically for developing photos.Inside, many photos hung on the walls.These were all from the three years she and Westley were ignoring each other. They were all of her life and

She wanted to see how he would truly lower his head for her.She also wanted to see if he really liked her.But later, after seeing the golden sea of flowers, he really did a lot to help her take pictures of the sea of clouds.The pink dolphins and fish were considered a blessing.She also witnessed them with him.So, she felt that the matter of pursuing her no longer mattered.She just wanted life to be simpler.She was really tired.She wanted to be happy and carefree.But unexpectedly, now that she didn't care about the pursuit anymore, he started again.It seemed that he would never follow her wishes.That stubbornness of his was something he couldn't change.‘Forget it,’ thought Jordan.She really couldn't be bothered to argue about these things anymore."Let's go." Jordan nodded and sat in the car after he opened the door.Westley walked around the front of the car and sat in the driver's seat, leaning over to fasten her seatbelt.But Jordan fastened it herself.
