Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 473
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

"Frank isn’t in any trouble," said Alan."Really?" asked Paulina."Really.""That's strange." Paulina was puzzled. "Frank just called me, and his tone was off. Where are you?""The Smith Group.""But weren't you on a business trip? How come you're back early?"Paulina's tone suddenly changed. "Did you go and tell Frank that the last incident was something I did intentionally?"Alan was sweating on her behalf and didn't know what to say anymore.He had tried his best.Paulina wanted to say something more, but the call was already disconnected.When she arrived at the CEO's office and knocked on the door, she saw Alan kneeling on the floor.Her heart sank instantly.Frank was leaning against the desk, casting a disappointed glance at her but not saying anything to embarrass her. Instead, he said coldly, "SZ Technology's Northern Eulast branch is missing a deputy manager. After you hand over your current work, go there as soon as possible to start your new position."Paulina'
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 476
For now, going to the Northern Eulast branch was still considered being with SZ Technology, still part of Frank's team, which was already quite fortunate. Frank did not deny it. "Aren't you going to leave?""Leaving?" Alan was stunned.Frank had punished Paulina but hadn't punished him yet.Frank glared at him. "This is the last time. If it happens again, don't wait for me to tell you—just leave on your own.""Yes, thank you, Frank!" Alan felt as if he had been pardoned. He got up and looked at Frank. "Don't worry, I will never betray your trust again."Frank lifted his hand lightly. "Get out."Alan quickly followed.Hurrying as best he could, he caught up with Paulina just as she was starting her car to leave. He grabbed her lowered car window. "Paulina, I need to talk to you."Paulina turned her face away and wiped her tears. "If you're going to say something like 'I should have listened to your advice,' please just be quiet.""No."Alan leaned in, looking at her through

Each word from him felt like an electric current, spreading from my ears to the core of my heart.I let out a long sigh of relief, finally understanding where his mood shift at noon had come from.Frank noticed my sense of relief. "Why are you still sighing?""Why are you asking?" I pinched his waist and huffed, "Your aura suddenly changed at noon, and it startled me."Frank was momentarily surprised and asked softly, "Why didn't you ask me about it then?""I..." I squeezed my palms, slowly piecing together my true self under his affection. No longer worried about appearances or fearing awkwardness, I simply looked up at him and said, "I was scared, Frank. I might not have truly received anything for a long time, so I was a bit insecure."As soon as I finished speaking, his hand was on my head, ruffling my hair. The man leaned down, his bright, intense eyes fixed on me, and spoke with helpless affection, "Take it slow, Charlotte. I'm only 30. Even if I don't live to a hundred, I

He gave me a sidelong glance. "A little more?""Not satisfied?""That's not it." Frank smiled. "Just wondering, when will it reach its peak?"I curved my lips into a smile. "Well, that depends on how you perform. Keep it up.""Keep it up? I'm already putting in the effort physically."Frank, with a tone of coaxing, slid his hand down to the base of my thigh. After feeling something, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's not that I don't respect the elderly, but I just want to ask, why haven't your elders left yet?"My face flushed intensely, and I slapped his hand away. "Seven days! There's no way it could be that quick. If it were that quick, I'd be in the hospital!"Frank closed his eyes, resigned. He lifted me down and pulled me toward the dining room. "I'm hungry."Julie had already prepared the meal: three dishes and a soup.I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the dishes and looked at Frank. "These are all my favorites?"Whenever it was the summer, I would lose my appet

After landing, he took a taxi directly to the hotel where Alana was staying. He left his luggage in the room next door to Alana's, intending to catch some sleep and deal with things in the morning. However, his mind wouldn't calm down.Unable to lie still, he got up and went out, knocking on the door of the adjacent room.The sound of the knock seemed very jarring in the quiet corridor.Alana, woken up and irritated, was scared by the unexpected disturbance in a foreign country. She called out from behind the door, "Who is it?"Alex's deep voice responded, "It's me."After a brief silence, the door opened, and Alana, bleary-eyed, looked at him. She rubbed her eyes uncertainly. "Alex? What are you doing here?"The usually alluring woman looked somewhat disheveled, wearing a single strap of her nightdress, with the other strap having fallen off and dangling loosely on her arm.Alex reached out and adjusted the strap on her shoulder. "Why are you wearing a nightdress?"Alana sna

After Alana said this, the man tightened his grip even more.The heat from his palm burned her wrist.It was excruciatingly hot.Alex was already dressed in a suit, his gray-striped outfit looking calm and formal, completely devoid of the lust from the bed. He said seriously, "Alana, taking emergency contraceptives will disrupt your hormones and harm your body."Alana found this amusing. "Having an abortion is even worse for your body. Don't you know that?""Then just have the baby." Alana looked at him. "Alex, don't tell me you actually think you're responsible? We're divorced, and now you want me to have a child for you?""Sure, trade it for 30% of the Jackson family shares!"She knew that Alex held 60% of the Jackson family's shares.Having a child would mean taking away half of his shares.It was a very high price to ask, but Alana was unflinching and justified in her demand.Alex frowned slightly. "Alana, I can offer you real estate equivalent to the value of those share

In the middle of it, Westley went outside to get some food to replenish Jordan.Jordan buried herself under the blanket, feeling extremely embarrassed.In the end, she had been the one to go back on her own words."Have something to eat."Westley pulled her out of the blanket, put his shirt on her, and carried her to the sofa.Jordan gave him a resentful look.Her pout clearly showed she was angry, but Westley only wanted to kiss her."Westley!"Jordan suddenly pushed him away. "You're so annoying."Westley handed her some cutlery. "Well, you can be mad at me all you want but you’ve got to eat something first."Jordan really was hungry. She hadn't eaten anything all morning and had used up a lot of energy.She turned her frustration into appetite.Westley ate a little too.Jordan's eyes darted around, hesitating to speak. "When you went downstairs earlier..."Westley knew what she wanted to ask, but pretended not to understand. "What do you mean?"Jordan glared at him. "

Westley’s sudden voice startled Jordan.Westley smoothed her hair. "It’s alright, honey."Jordan swatted his hand away. "Why are you always so jumpy?"Westley truly felt wronged.But he still apologized. "I’m sorry.""That’s better."Jordan tried to sneak away, but Westley grabbed her back. "I'll give you a chance. Think about what you did last night, or don't blame me later."Jordan didn't know where to look and nervously clasped her hands together. "I don't know what you're talking about.""Are you sure?"Westley slowly unlocked his phone. "You have one more chance to confess, or once I show the evidence, it'll be too late."Jordan vaguely remembered something, like she had done that kind of thing to him.And since Westley was someone full of tricks, it was likely that he had recorded it.She could only act first. "Isn't it all your fault?""Oh?" Westley tilted his head, looking at her with interest. "What did I do? Tell me."What could Jordan say?Should she admit tha

Westley said, "I need to go to the bathroom.""Oh..."Jordan took a deep breath and opened the door."Go ahead."But the man's large body blocked the bathroom door, standing still.Jordan tried several times to avoid him and step outside."Move out of the way.""Why are your eyes so red?" Westley cupped her face. "Did you cry?""No... it's the facial cleanser."The man’s heart ached, lowered his head, and placed a kiss on her. "Sorry, I shouldn't have teased you.""No..." Jordan didn't know where to put her hands.He was still wearing only a bath towel.He embraced her, his bare upper body pressing against hers. She had just washed up and was only wearing an undergarment. His intense body heat seeped into her skin.She felt something stirring inside her."Weren't you going to the bathroom?"Westley let go of her and asked, "Do you need me to get someone to bring medicine?"Jordan shook her head. "I've taken care of it, just need to get some rest, and I'll be fine."Fin

"Take a shower first.""Take a shower first..."Seeing the mischievous look on the man's face, Jordan kicked him. "Hurry up."Westley gave her an invitation. "Want to join me?"Jordan glared at him. "Don't do anything strange in my house."Westley cocked his brows. "If I'm not mistaken, we are legally married, right?"Jordan pushed him into the bathroom. "It's not happening in my house!""Okay, you win." Westley started taking off his pants, and Jordan quickly turned around to close the door.She was waiting and feeling a bit bored, so she sent a message to Jane, asking if she knew what Westley had prepared for Aunt Orianna.Earlier, when they were looking at the snow by the door, it seemed like they both knew about it.When Jane saw the message, she knew Westley was up to something mischievous.This was between the married couple, and she wasn't going to get involved."Jordan, I'm a bit busy right now..."Jordan misunderstood and thought it was because she and Zachary wer

Jordan's eyes suddenly lit up. "Then stop teasing Aunt Orianna and give it to her quickly, or else we'll be sleeping outside tonight."Westley replied, "What's wrong with sleeping outside? It's not like we can't afford a hotel."Jordan said, "Then you go ahead and stay there. Aunt Orianna’s mad. Do you think Nathan’s going to let you off easily? I think you'll be heading back to Jeswood tonight. Don't blame me for not speaking up for you. It's your own fault. You prepared so much, yet you didn’t prepare anything for Aunt Orianna."Westley hugged her tightly. At that moment, the sound of a door opening came from behind them.Jordan peeked her head out from the coat.Westley's deep voice came from above her head. "Your snowman is about to be buried in the snow. What took you so long?"Zachary said indifferently, "Isn't it because of your surprise? I almost got kicked out of Impelia."He walked over to the snowman and tidied it up.Jane stood under the eaves and said, "It’s still

"Anna." Westley took out his phone. "Get ready, we're going to make a video call."Anna, with her big, sparkling eyes, asked curiously, "Who is it?""You'll find out soon." After connecting the video call, Westley turned the phone towards Anna."Hello, Anna."There was a short pause..."Oh my god!" Anna's scream almost blew the roof off.She was so excited and flustered."What should I do? I didn't put on makeup today.""Oh my god, Westley, why didn't you say we're video calling with my idol? What should I do? What should I do now?""Just be yourself," said Westley. As soon as her idol spoke, Anna immediately sat up straight, not daring to touch her phone. Westley held it up for her the entire time.They chatted for a while, and he held the phone for as long as the conversation lasted.Jordan was worried that Westley arm would be sore so she wanted to hold the phone for him, but he declined, pulling her to sit next to him.Anna didn't chat for long, her idol had other thing

Westley had also felt that the photo was taken well, but the lighting in the hallway was still a bit dim.The atmosphere was good, but if it had been during the day, it would have been even better."Alright."The whole family sat down.Now everyone was gathered, and compared to the lunch welcoming Jane and Jordan, this dinner felt even more grand, especially with the meatballs added.Calvin had been in poor health ever since the incident with the Jackson family and couldn't drink alcohol.He drank tea instead.Raising his teacup, he said first, "I admit that I haven't fulfilled my responsibility to my two granddaughters, so I have no right to express any opinions about whom they choose to marry. But now that they've returned to my side, if in the future, any of you dare to bully them, I will do everything in my power, even at my old age, to stand up for them."Zachary and Westley both stood up, holding their wine glasses, and bowed toward Calvin.Zachary said, "Don't worry. It

Anna whispered to Aunt Emily in the kitchen, "Mom, Westley is quite handsome."Aunt Emily replied, "You only care about looks. If we're talking about looks, isn't Zachary handsome too?"Anna continued, "When I say he’s handsome, it isn't just about looks, it's in every way.""Of course, Zachary is also a great person.""It's just that everyone thought Westley had bullied Jordan before."Aunt Emily said, "Go bring the meatballs out, get the table ready for dinner.""Got it."When Anna went outside, she didn't see Jordan and Westley.Jane and Zachary had planned to go back to their room to talk, but Jordan had said it was snowing heavily and went out to take photos.So they followed her out.They didn't expect that in just a short while, the ground was already covered with a thick layer of snow, perfect for a snowball fight.Jane started rolling snowballs, and Zachary stood nearby making a snowman.Jordan took a few photos of the scene, capturing both Jane and Zachary in them

Westley waited for a moment, and after Jane and Zachary went inside, a few seconds later, Jordan ran out.She waved at him. "Westley!"Westley glanced at Nathan, then picked up the gifts and went inside."Hurry up and come inside. It’s cold outside."Jordan reached out to help him with the things, but he refused."I can handle it, it's heavy. You have grease on your hands too."Jordan wiped off the snowflakes on his shoulder. "Have you been waiting for a while?"Westley nodded. "Nathan is making things right for you two. Giving a little warning."Jordan glanced back secretly, asking softly, "What did he do to trouble you?""It's fine." Westley smiled slightly. "Just stood outside a bit longer."Jordan nodded and handed him his slippers.Nathan was behind them, watching the pair of them, the corner of his lips twitching.No one knew what he was thinking at that moment.Zachary had entered a few seconds before Westley, and he was already blending in well with the members of
