Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 502
I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.I wasn’t sure what Frank said, but Alana suddenly made a tough statement. "Who’s drunk? Fine, you’ll come begging me for help someday!"With that, she hung up the phone, then looked at me with a smile and said, "Charlotte, can you do a favor for your future aunt?"Being an elder seemed to come naturally to her.I cocked my brows. "Future aunt? Are you really considering remarrying Alex just to move up a generation?""That's worth considering." Alana winked at me. "So, can you do me a favor?""What is the favor?""Don’t tell Frank about your relationship with Yasmin.""Huh?""I haven’t seen Frank get embarrassed before."Alana looked quite eager.I chuckled. "So that’s the favor?"Alana nodded. "Yes, will you do it or not?""I will," I agreed. Alana is probably the closest to Frank among the younger generation in the Smith family, aside from Megan. I also want to maintain a good relationship with her. Plus, my background will be public

The producer shuddered and quickly replied a message on WhatsApp. “Joanne, I may not have expressed myself clearly earlier. What I meant was that we will ensure Miss Christine’s segments are edited beautifully, matching her online persona 100%.”“Did I not express myself clearly? Brian, what we mean is, edit it however it looks best! If the market response is good, Ms. Jackson will consider funding the next season. Do you understand?”The producer, being quite shrewd, finally understood. “Got it! I’ll do as you say!”It seemed that Christine had managed to offend her own mother!But he had some doubts in his mind. Would a biological mother really allow the show’s crew to expose her daughter’s negative material?How much conflict could there be?It seemed that the saying "blood is thicker than water" did not apply in the upper class.However, this was none of his concern. His job was to hold onto Yasmin’s coattails tightly!He could edit it however it looks best!He smiled, con

“Alright, I’ll go now.”Seeing her growing anger, the assistant quickly took the opportunity to leave.The phone rang.Christine glanced at the caller ID and said calmly, “Hello, Mr. Renolds, what’s the matter?”Recently, Yasmin had not taken any further action, so she probably had set aside her suspicions.Meanwhile, Christine’s resources kept coming, and she had done several magazine shoots, with people constantly flattering her every day. Without realizing it, her attitude had become somewhat complacent, and even Jack was not taken seriously by her.Jack, holding a photo handed to him by his subordinate, said in a cold voice, “Has anyone entered your room recently?”“No,” Christine responded truthfully. “I have surveillance installed, and my phone hasn’t received any abnormal alerts.”“Are you sure?”“Absolutely sure!” Christine was somewhat helpless. “Mr. Renolds, don’t be so paranoid. If something had really happened, could I still be here recording the show?”It had bee

The next day, when I woke up, the alarm hadn't gone off yet.As soon as I stepped out of my room, the doorbell rang. It was Jane.I felt a bit helpless. “Don’t you have a fingerprint access? Why didn’t you just come in?”“Well, that’s because…”Jane cast an ambiguous glance toward the master bedroom and said, “I was afraid of disturbing you and your man.”“Disturb what? He’s not here,” I explained. Then I asked, “Why did you come so early?”Last night, Frank didn’t return to Region Gardens; he just sent me a WhatsApp message saying that there was an urgent matter with the Smith family that needed his immediate attention. He didn’t tell me any specifics.Jane then remembered the main issue and hurriedly asked, “Was the WhatsApp message you sent me real or not?”“I drank too much last night. When I groggily checked my phone this morning, it startled me awake!”“On my way here, I kept looking at that WhatsApp message, afraid I was dreaming or seeing things.”“Is Christine really

Jane shook her head and quickly declined, “I won’t be going.”I looked at her, thinking she was just being shy, “Why? Jane, come with me…”“One of the most important moments for my best friend, I wouldn’t miss it.” Jane flashed a mysterious smile and said. “But I have other plans.”Suddenly, I had a thought and guessed, “You want to go with Mr. Collins, right?”The Chi family is also a prominent family in Jeswood, and Zachary would certainly receive an invitation.Jane avoided answering, quickly pushing me out the door, “Stop hesitating. Go and see Ms. Jackson!”On the way to the Cloud, I saw that the WhatsApp conversation with Frank was still on last night’s messages. I couldn’t help but send him a message."Have you had breakfast? How is the situation?"There was no reply.As I was about to call him out of concern, a news alert popped up.The Smith Group’s M398 chip, which was patented two months ago, was facing a lawsuit from the patent-holding company, demanding an immedi

“Let me check.”He seemed to be looking at WhatsApp while explaining to me. “I was in a long meeting, and my phone was with Alan. He only brought it into the meeting room when he saw your call.”“Fortune and misfortune are intertwined. Don’t be afraid.”Although he was trying to comfort me, I was still worried. “This is targeted at you, right? Did Lucas do this?”“You’re right about the first part.”Frank took a sip of something, and his voice regained some clarity. “But Lucas isn’t stupid enough to do this. He would only engage in actions that harm others without benefiting himself, not something that would damage the enemy while hurting himself.”Frank’s explanation made sense. The chip had been on the market before he returned to the Smith Group, and before that, Lucas had been in charge. Ultimately, this issue falls under Lucas’s responsibility.If Lucas exposed this now, it would certainly create a huge mess for Frank, but it would also eliminate any possibility of Frank ma

“Really?” Ryan’s sharp words were on the tip of his tongue, but seeing her shivering eyelashes and those cool eyes, he was momentarily moved and said, “Come with me.”“What?” Diana didn’t immediately understand, and by the time she looked up, the tall man had already walked away with long strides.She looked uncertainly at Gary, who was still waiting for her. “Mr. Frost…”“You weren’t imagining things.”Gary glanced at the direction where Ryan had gone, feeling a bit sentimental.To make up for his ex-wife was one thing, but now it seemed he was making up for someone who resembled his ex-wife. Just whether this would be a blessing or a curse for the girl in front of him remained to be seen.Diana looked at the coffee in her hands, feeling a bit awkward. Gary waved to the front desk and said, “Have these delivered to the Design Department, and say it’s from Miss West.”Once in the car, Diana didn’t dare to breathe too loudly, desperately trying to calm her breathing.Ryan, how

After finishing the snack, I still had some time left. Seeing that Yasmin seemed hesitant to speak, I couldn't help but smile."Is there something you want to say or ask me?"In terms of being a daughter and a mother, both Yasmin and I are probably novices. It’s inevitable that there’s some awkwardness and unfamiliarity, but I can genuinely feel her desire to give me the best.Yasmin’s eyes were full of affection as she spoke softly, “It’s nothing major. I was just thinking that since you’ll be moving in eventually, how about you choose your room now while there’s still time? This way, I can prepare your bedroom according to your preferences.”A wave of emotion I had never felt before surged within me. Smiling, I said, “No need to choose. I trust you.”“Really?” Yasmin seemed worried that I was being polite. “Don’t be too formal with me. You’re my only daughter…”“It’s not about being formal!” I interrupted with a sigh, taking her hand gently and speaking softly, “I just know tha

‘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.
