Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 560
Tears welled up in my eyes and I said, "There's no need…""Alright, alright." Yasmin smiled and said, "Since Frank needs to find the antidote and probably doesn't have much time to be with you, how about I bring you and your… grandma to the Cloud to stay?"Hearing this, even more tears welled up in my eyes, and my nostrils began to sting.Even though the Shaw family was the one at fault, she was willing to bring Grandma and me to the Cloud for my sake.And I hadn't even shared the big news of my pregnancy with her in a timely manner…I shook my head repeatedly. "No need, Mom. Jane is here with me, and I don't want you to cause inconvenience for yourself for my sake.""You…" Yasmin, hearing my refusal, didn't press the issue. "Then when Grandma gets better, should you come and spend some time with me?"I immediately agreed, "Of course! I'll stay with you until you're tired of me and ask me to leave. I won't leave, ever."Her tone softened with affection. "Well, I’ll keep that in

Christine intended to leave the hotel and head to Jeswood to find Yasmin. However, paparazzi were like wild dogs when there was news, and she might not be able to leave the hotel without any trouble. For now, all she could do was wait."Go get me something to eat. I'm hungry," said Christine.Riley, suppressing her grievances, nodded in agreement. But just as her hand touched the door handle, the door was suddenly knocked on. She was startled.Christine was also startled and quickly hid inside the room, telling her to find out who it was.Riley looked through the peephole and saw a man in a security uniform outside, but she didn't make a sound and let him continue knocking.Christine became anxious. "Why aren't you responding?"Riley didn't have time to stop him.The man stopped knocking and spoke through the door, "Hello, I'm a hotel security guard. There have been complaints about noise from upstairs. I'm here to check the situation. Could you please open the door?"This was

"Get back her god damn it!"After shouting those words, Christine was scared that there would be more reporters, so she quickly shut the door.Remembering her assistant's words, she fished her phone out from the mess. The top trending topic had already changed to "Yasmin Denies Christine's Background."Christine lost all her strength and stumbled. At that moment, she couldn't think of anything else and instinctively dialed Jack's number...The call went unanswered until a cold, mechanical voice came on.Christine persisted, calling again and again. But each time, it was unanswered and automatically disconnected."Ah!" Christine broke down, screaming in frustration. In her panic and anger, she threw her phone against the wall, and the screen shattered into pieces.This time, it wasn't that Jack wasn't answering. He simply didn't have the chance, even though the phone was right in front of him.Frank lounged casually on the central sofa, his legs crossed, as if he were in his own

Frank's gaze fell on the tea canister next to the teapot. Jack noticed his attention and tried to stand up with great effort, but the pain from his injuries left him too weak to succeed.Frank took a handful of tea leaves and scattered them over Jack. He gave a knowing smile and said, "Looks like I was right."Jack exerted all his strength to stand up, trying to snatch the black glass jar containing the only antidote from Frank's hands. But even breathing was difficult for him, let alone grabbing anything.Frank's light movement was enough to keep Jack from reaching it."Do you think you've won?" With each word Jack spoke, his heart and lungs ached, but he still managed to say, "Let's not discuss the rest. This time, you can’t win. Charlotte will definitely be mine."Frank raised his hand and slightly moved his index finger.Alan immediately stepped forward to restrain Jack. Frank picked up a fruit knife from the coffee table, knelt in front of Jack, and tapped his face with th

I didn't want to be constantly worried, so I agreed obediently, "Okay, I understand."Yasmin said softly, "Alright, get some rest. Pregnant women shouldn't stay up late.""You too," I replied.After hanging up, I had just put down my phone when I heard the sound of the door opening. I immediately headed toward the door, while Jane and Grandma exchanged glances.Grandma said, "Come with me to see the flowers I've been growing."Jane played along. "Sure."The person who came back was, of course, Frank.I opened my arms to hug him, but he stopped me by pressing down on my shoulders, saying, "I'm dirty. I need to shower first."That didn't sound right. Even though I was pregnant and he was worried about germs affecting the baby, he had been out running errands, not working at a construction site. How dirty could he be?Just as I was about to ask, a small black medicine bottle appeared in front of me.My eyes lit up. "The antidote?""Yep."He cocked his brows with an air of arro

Frank laughed. Given that we had to consider Grandma and Jane, he decided to end the topic, stopping the conversation in the room just a wall away.Seeing that it was best to drop the subject, I picked up the medicine bottle he had left on the coffee table. "I'm going to give the antidote to Grandma.""Okay."Seeing him nod, I stood up and headed towards Grandma's room, only to find him following. "Let's go together," he suggested.Jane was playing cards with Grandma. When Frank and I entered, we saw Grandma happily collecting a large pile of cards, looking as delighted as a child who had received candy.At that moment, I felt that no matter what sacrifices were made, as long as Grandma could live healthily and happily, it was all worth it.I lifted the small medicine bottle and, feeling relieved, said, "Grandma, Frank brought the antidote for you."Jane looked at the bottle. "Is it really the antidote? Don't tell me Jack tampered with it again…"I hadn't thought about that.

When we arrived at the hospital, Prof. Kilburn was already waiting.After we got Grandma settled into the examination room, Dr. Travis arrived at the hospital as well. I hurried over, saying, "Thank you for coming all this way at such an hour."Dr. Travis waved his hand. "It's no trouble. Studying medicine is all about curing and saving people. Doing this is just my duty."Dr. Travis and Prof. Kilburn entered the examination room together. Frank helped me sit down. "Are you feeling unwell?"I shook my head. "No."Frank gently rubbed my back, soothing me. "That's good."I knew that seeing Grandma spitting out blood must have made him worry. After all, he had brought back the antidote, and despite multiple confirmations, it was still unsettling.I held his hand and looked into his eyes. "Frank, Grandma will be fine. The medicine you brought back won’t have any problems."Frank seemed to silently breathe a sigh of relief. "Even after Grandma has spat out blood, you still trust me
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 567
Grandma chuckled lightly. "I know, I know.""Okay." I then turned to Frank. "Let's go home. First, let's drop Jane off."Unexpectedly, Jane waved her hand. "I'll stay here. I have nothing to do, so I'll stay at the hospital with Grandma. That way, you won't have to worry about not being able to eat or sleep properly at home, affecting the growth and development of my goddaughter."I couldn't help but laugh. "You’re exaggerating.""If I say it's necessary, it is." Jane pushed me out of the ward. "It's getting late. Go home, take a bath, and get a good night's sleep. Remember to bring me my food tomorrow afternoon!""Alright, I'll bring them for you," I agreed, feeling a bit touched. "Thank you, Jane."I knew that asking me to bring lunch was just a way to help me feel more at ease.Jane pretended to be unhappy. "What? Now that you have a man, you're being distant with your best friend?"I quickly denied, "No, not at all!"Jane cocked her brows. "Since it's not the case, why don

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
