Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 505
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

“Bethany, is she the daughter they adopted later on?”“Yes.” I nodded. “Simone dotes on her very much, like she was her biological daughter.”Yasmin frowned slightly. “Isn’t she about two years younger than you?”“How did you know?”Hearing my response, Yasmin’s brows curved in a sympathetic manner as she explained, “It’s highly likely that Ben is raising the daughter of Simone’s former lover.”“What?“ Caught off guard, I was stunned. “What do you mean? Bethany is the daughter of Simone’s former lover?”“It’s just a guess.”Yasmin smiled and elaborated, “Simone’s first love was a thug in Jeswood named Kevin Sullivan, I think. Later, when Kevin got into trouble and went to prison, Simone started an affair with Ben.”“Kevin got married not long after he was released, but his wife died during childbirth. Soon after, he got into trouble again, this time for murder. He killed someone with a significant background, which was enough to cost him his life. He fled the country, leaving b

When he looked at Yasmin, his throat moved slightly as if he were nervous. “Yasmin, I came uninvited, but there are some things I need to say to you in person.”Without waiting for Yasmin to respond, he continued, disregarding the people around them, speaking slowly and deliberately, “You don’t need to worry about implicating me anymore. Now, the Jackson family is under my control, and I can protect you!”I didn’t know if Yasmin would accept it, but I felt my eyes well up with tears.Probably because I knew this person was my uncle and the person beside him was my mother, I was easily moved by their family affection.Turning my head, I saw Yasmin with reddened eyes, turning away to hold back her tears before she looked back at Alex and said with a hint of annoyance, “When you were little, you cried for me to help change your diaper. Now you say you can protect me?”“Pfft—”Alana almost choked on her drink, unable to stop laughing.Alex cleared his throat but didn’t seem embarras
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 512
Alana deliberately teased him, leaning in and raising her eyebrows, “So, don’t you want to get married?”“I have someone I want to marry and am not interested in arranged marriages.”Frank dismissed it lightly, glancing inside the room. “Is Charlotte here?”From his angle, he couldn’t see me behind the door.Seeing Alana’s triumphant smile, I couldn’t help but laugh lightly. Just as I was about to speak, Alana looked at me and said, “Niece, come here quickly. My brother is looking for you.”I could almost imagine the bewildered expression on Frank’s face.I walked over, and Frank took my cool, dry hand. He glanced at Alana and, with a playful smile, asked, “When did Charlotte become your niece?”Before I could speak, Yasmin put her arm around my shoulder and, noticing Alex and his wife teasing him, couldn’t help but laugh. “Because Charlotte is my daughter, what do you think?”“Huh?” Frank immediately straightened up. Before he could delve deeper or confirm the truth of the sta

"Jane, don't argue with Zachary. This time, I am staying here voluntarily," said Jordan."I’ve made a bet with Westley, and there will be a resolution in the end."Jane nodded. "I can let you handle this matter yourself, but you have to promise me that you won’t let yourself get hurt, and you won’t just keep sacrificing yourself. If it becomes unbearable, give it up. I’ll always be here to support you."Jordan nodded. "Okay."The two sisters chatted for a long time, and only when Jane started to feel sleepy did they end the video call.Jordan handed the phone to Buck and closed the door to her room.Buck was left standing there.He felt like he had been completely abandoned, as if everything around him had fallen apart.Anyway, as a sandwich in the middle, he was already crushed, so it didn’t matter anymore.For several days, Jordan got up to eat, and the food was always food prepared by the chef.She hadn’t seen Westley around.She couldn’t really say how she felt. She just

"He is faking his psychological illness," Jordan rebutted.Even if he had one, it had nothing to do with her.Even she didn’t have any psychological issues, how could someone with such a strong mind like Westley have any psychological issues?He shouldn’t blame her for everything.Having seen enough, she turned around and walked away.But Carter called her back. "He once took good care of you, and you're going to be this heartless?"Jordan wasn’t familiar with Carter. He was usually a man of few words with a cold personality.If she greeted him, he wouldn’t respond. If she talked too much, she might get an icy look in return.She really didn’t expect that one day, he would try to mediate between her and Westley."You should focus more on your own matters," she said.His own love life was a mess, so what right did he have to interfere in hers?Jordan’s emotions were written all over her face, she didn’t hide them.Carter could guess how she was feeling just by looking at her

Jane didn’t care about Westley. Even if he was feeling it now, it was too late for regrets.If he hadn’t acted the way he did, Jordan wouldn’t have suffered so much.Moreover, he had once ignored her cries for help, so now he shouldn’t blame Jordan for his injuries.“How’s my sister?” she asked.Roy replied, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Collins, Ms. Hickey is doing fine. Except for the lack of freedom, there are no other restrictions.”“When can I have a video call with her?”Roy thought for a moment. “Since Mr. Howard is now delirious, I can make the arrangements.”“Thank you,” said Jane.“It’s no trouble, it’s my job.”After hanging up the phone, Jane looked at Zachary and asked, “What do you think?”Zachary moved the phone a little farther away to avoid radiation.After finishing the massage, he helped her lie down and said, “I’m thinking what you’re thinking.”Jane gave him a sidelong glance. “You’re slick.”Zachary smirked and bent down to kiss her forehead.“Get some rest.”

"Mrs. Howard—"Buck watched helplessly as Jordan jumped into the sea.Before he could rush over, a figure was even faster than him."Sir!"Westley dived into the water, found Jordan, and dragged her to the shore.When Jordan was pulled onto the shore, she was still a bit dazed.Wasn't she just swimming? Why was there so much fuss?Buck gestured for people to bring a stretcher, lifted Westley onto it, and hurried back.Buck also called for the maids to help Jordan back.Jordan wiped her face, pushed the maid aside, and twisted the water out of her hair. "What happened?"Buck was anxious to check on Westley, but he couldn’t stop watching Jordan, worried she might jump into the sea again and trying to think of other ways to prevent it."Mr. Howard was saving you.""Why?" Jordan was confused. "I didn’t drown. What’s the need to save me?"Buck recalled what he had seen earlier. It seemed like... swimming?"Weren’t you... jumping into the sea?""Yes." Jordan didn’t notice Buck

"Nathan, you should head back and deal with your own matters. Let's not interfere with Jordan's matters anymore."Nathan didn’t expect Jane to say this. He paused for a moment before speaking. "You know better than I do what Westley has done. How can we just ignore it? Jordan is still young and hasn’t experienced much in terms of relationships. She lacks experience, what if she falls again..."Jane knew what he was talking about and comforted him. "Don’t worry. Jordan may have experienced little in terms of relationships, but she’s not a foolish girl. She knows how to handle things."Nathan asked, "Is it because there’s something Westley knows?""No, it’s because we can't let Westley continue making a scene. This matter still needs to be handled by the person involved."Nathan didn’t say anything more and told Jane not to worry. When it was close to her delivery, he would come back.Jane agreed and hung up the phone.She threw the phone onto the counter and hugged Zachary from b

Charlotte raised her hand and gently patted Jane’s shoulder."I understand, after all, she's your sister. But I think Jordan is very smart and capable, she can take care of herself. You can worry, but at the same time, take care of your own health. Then, when she comes back, you can love her properly."Jordan walked around the island.There was a helipad on the mountain with two helicopters.Out at sea, there was a large cruise ship docked.But she didn’t know how to pilot any of them, so there was no way to escape.In the end, she decided to just accept things as they were.If there was a problem, she would deal with it. If not, she’d wait."Mrs. Howard, Jasmine is looking for you."When Jordan returned to the villa, Buck handed her a phone.Hearing Jasmine’s name, she took it."Jasmine.""I'm relieved you're okay," said Jasmine, letting out a sigh of relief, then apologizing. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have drunk so much.""It’s not your fault."Since Westley had a plan to

She got up just around noon.After thinking for a moment, she decided to go see Westley.Westley wasn't in the bedroom, so she went downstairs to ask the staff.The servant pointed toward the kitchen, and she walked over, finding Westley cutting vegetables.A strip of bandages was wrapped around his exposed wrist.His pale lips and exhausted eyes suggested he was still in poor condition.Yet, he was cooking?Jordan pressed her lips together, her sleep had been poor, and her face didn’t look good either.She stood in place for a few seconds, then turned and walked away.If he didn’t take care of his own body, what business was it of hers?Westley glanced over but didn’t call her, continuing his task.Buck watched the whole scene, worried about Westley’s health, he was still running a fever.“Sir, you should rest. Let me arrange for someone to cook, and I’ll bring it up to you later. And Mrs. Howard... probably won’t care about you... You should take care of your health. Othe

Charlotte nodded. “So does unhygienic mean better taste?”Jane directly spoke to her belly, "Son, you have to treat your mother-in-law well in the future. Mommy won't be able to back you up. Mommy’s useless..."Charlotte raised her hand and poked her forehead. "Alright, stop the act.""You're even bringing the child up. We still don’t know if it's a boy."Jane said, "I want to arrange a marriage alliance with you. My child can sense his mother’s feelings and will surely fulfill his mother's wishes.""That's nonsense." Charlotte went out to buy what she wanted to eat.As soon as she sat in the car, she received a call from Frank."Is Mr. Smith slacking off again?"Frank chuckled. "I’m calling my wife. Is that not allowed anymore?"Charlotte had driven herself. She turned on the air conditioning and was thinking about going shopping. "I’ve got to go now. I'll be home tonight."Frank heard the sound of the engine and asked, "Did you go out?"Charlotte snorted, "You should know

The fireworks were dazzling and brilliant.Westley looked up in a certain direction.At the moment the fireworks bloomed, a figure appeared in the window of that place.Jordan couldn’t sleep because of Westley’s injury.As she tossed and turned in bed, a sudden bright light appeared in front of the window.She walked over to the window, opened it, and saw the fireworks bursting in the night sky.There seemed to be a few figures on the beach.But Westley was tall enough that she could spot him at a glance.At that moment, she forgot to watch the fireworks.It was only when Westley raised his hand and pointed upward that she looked up.She realized that the fireworks formed a few words.“I’m sorry, Jordan.”“Happy birthday.”Jordan had originally planned to spend her birthday with Nathan and Jane.But when she was brought over by Westley, she completely forgot about her birthday.She glanced at the time, and it was exactly midnight.Her birthday had begun.The night sky
