Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 56
In a daze, I thought of the past.Back then, Ryan and I had only been married for six months. My period was delayed by about 10 days. Even though he always used protection, I still faintly wondered if I might be pregnant each time. When I bought the pregnancy test kit, I was eager to share the news of being pregnant with him.Now that I really was pregnant, thinking about Ryan standing just a door away, I couldn't muster any excitement or joy. All I felt was fear and nervousness about what unexpected changes might come.The worst outcome would be losing this child.The mere two and a half years had turned everything upside down as if we were from different worlds now.My legs felt like lead as I walked to the door, my emotions complex, but I found no sign of Ryan outside! Where was he?All that remained was my handbag, left alone on the metal bench by the door.Had he left?I pulled out my phone from the bag, a message was on the screen."I have some urgent business. After the

I wanted to give him a second chance for the child and for myself.Jane didn't try to dissuade me, she simply asked, "Have you thought about the consequences if it doesn't work out?""Yeah, I've thought about it."If things didn't go as expected, I would disappear completely to avoid any possibility of losing the child.With this decision made, I lost all desire to go home and cook. I casually ate a salad in the neighborhood and then retreated to the sofa at home.While waiting for Ryan to return, I immersed myself in work with my laptop.I waited until the afternoon, but there was still no sign of him at the door.Unable to resist, I sent Ryan a message. "Are you coming back soon?"I waited for a while but didn’t receive any replies.What urgent matter could keep him this busy? I hadn't heard from Jane that anything had gone wrong at the company.With autumn days growing shorter and nights longer, the sun began to set by five o'clock.The orange sunset poured in. Outside th

I don't know how much time had passed before a nurse from the operating room came out calling names."Is Jessica's husband here?"Ryan walked up in big strides. "Doctor! I'm here."Those four words pierced my heart like daggers. The pain caused me to find it difficult to breathe.All the waiting throughout the day and the decision I had finally made became a joke at this moment.Standing there made me feel like I was a clown.We weren’t divorced just yet.My husband had already become someone else's husband.Not far away, he asked desperately, "How is she? Is it serious?""She lost a lot of blood, what do you think? But fortunately, you brought her to the hospital in time, she's fine now." After a short pause, the nurse added as if to reassure him, "The child is fine too."‘Child?’‘Jessica is pregnant?’‘They have a child now?’I couldn’t breathe and looked awkwardly at Ryan.He breathed a sigh of relief, his face finally softened a little. "That's good."Maybe my gaze

He wore a beige casual suit that accentuated his tall and elegant figure, exuding warmth and refinement.He smiled gently. "A friend is hospitalized, so I came to visit.""Oh, I see.""And what about you? Why are you here alone at the hospital?"I raised the medical report in my hand. "I came to pick up my health examination report."Jack's expression became serious. "Everything alright?""Yes."I had just undergone a company health check, and this time, like the last, everything was within normal range.Except that there was a child in my womb now.Jack nodded. "Have you eaten yet? How about we grab a bite together? Tom and Jane will also be joining us."He had probably added the second sentence to avoid suspicion.I rubbed my stomach, feeling a bit hungry, "Sure."I didn't know what to eat if I went home alone.Besides, with more people around, it wouldn't be so easy to get lost in thoughts.Jack handed the car over to his assistant to drive back, then rode with me to t

It seemed that I was destined to not be able to eat properly that day.Back home, I slept through the night in a daze. I felt like I was asleep and awake at the same time.The next day, I slept until noon, feeling lightheaded.I checked the fridge, made myself a tuna sandwich, drank some milk, and finally felt a little better.The concert was in the evening, still early now, instead of sinking into negative emotions, I decided to open my computer and prepare to work.First, I checked my social media as usual.Seeing a message from the official MS Group account, I couldn't help but perk up.Just as I was about to read it in detail, Jane's call came in. "Darling, are you okay?"I didn't want her to worry. "I'm fine.""Did Ryan go back home?"I hesitated for a moment. "No.""In that case, let's forget about him." Jane changed the subject. "I called to ask you, have you seen the news that MS is planning a collaborative collection?""I just saw it."In the past, these collabora

Seeing the incoming call on my phone, I felt I was imagining things. After a moment's pause, I answered, "Hello.""Are you at home?"He sounded like he was in a vast, empty space, his voice low and tinged with weariness.I stood up and walked to the balcony, stretching my neck to relieve the stiffness, enduring the discomfort, and deliberately asked, "Hmm, are you still busy?"Thinking about it, Jessica had lost so much blood. How could he be at ease?"I'm almost done."For some reason, his voice cleared up a little. "The ticket is on the console by the entrance. Remember to take it when you leave."Although it was expected, hearing it from him still left a bitter taste in my mouth. "You're not coming?""What are you talking about? Let's meet at the entrance of the stadium..." He chuckled softly.But just as he was speaking, a weak yet desperate question interrupted him suddenly, "Ryan, who are you calling? Didn't you promise me..."The voice abruptly stopped.It wasn't Ryan

Perhaps the person I was waiting for would never come.The girl was clever, smiling brightly as she asked, "Are you waiting for someone, Miss?""Yes.""Your friend must be stuck in traffic, it's really jammed around the stadium right now."Maybe sensing my disappointment, she walked over with a comforting smile, tilting her head slightly. "I'll wait with you.""Aren't you going in?""I didn't get a ticket."She shrugged, her mouth turning down in disappointment and helplessness.I chuckled lightly. "Then stay with me."He wasn't going to come. I wasn't waiting for him to come.I was waiting for me to be totally disappointed.Another whole hour passed, until the crowd in the square thinned out and people gradually dispersed. My hand holding the phone was almost numb from the cold.The announcement came over the broadcast that entry was about to close."Charlotte."A warm voice suddenly sounded from behind.I turned around in pleasant surprise, seeing Jack in the same brow

"It's okay, I won't make fun of you." I patted his shoulder and changed the subject with a smile. "So you like Eason as well, but you never mentioned it before."Jack looked towards the stage, his voice tinged with melancholy. "It's natural to love something because of association.""She liked him?""Yeah, she was really into him back in university.""What a coincidence."I smiled. "I used to love listening to Eason's songs back in university too."He smiled knowingly. "Quite a coincidence."We were in VIP seats, with a perfect view of the performance, and no blind spots anywhere. With the familiar intro, the singer appeared on stage, instantly lifting the atmosphere in the entire arena, and causing countless fans to scream and sing along. Jack and I were like two outliers, quietly listening.Scenes from the past years flashed through my mind like a movie playing, frame after frame.Ten years agoI didn't know youYou didn't belong to meWe were still the sameKeeping compan

Jonathan almost spit out the tea he was drinking."You have principles now?""Not the right time to talk nonsense."Westley. "Do you always talk in a way that pokes others' pain points?"Jonathan smiled for a moment. "If you've done it, don't be afraid of people talking about it."Westley didn't want to continue the conversation and stood up to leave.He went to the kitchen to find Jordan and found her eating ravioli."Didn't you say you'd help?" Westley sat next to her. "How come you're eating secretly? Give me a bite?"Jordan guarded the food. "It’s in the kitchen. There's still plenty in the pot.""But I want to eat from your bowl.""But I don't want to give you any."Westley laughed. "Okay."But while Jordan took a bite of the ravioli, he kissed her.Jordan's eyes widened as she felt the ravioli in her mouth being stolen away."You're disgusting."Westley smiled. "Sweet."Jordan couldn't eat anymore and pushed the remaining ravioli to him. "I'm not eating anymore."

Now that she had remarried him, this was also her home, and there was no need to tidy up anymore."Really?" Westley turned her around. "It'll be troublesome to go to another room and come back for something later.""What do you mean?" Jordan felt like she didn't understand his words today. "Just spill it already."Westley nodded seriously. "Okay, I'll spill it. We're married now. From now on, when we come back here, we'll sleep together. If you don't tidy up and pack your things, there won't be anything for you in my room."Jordan understood. She suddenly smiled and patted his shoulder. "Who said that after marriage, we have to sleep in the same bed? If there's nothing of mine in your room, I'll sleep in my own room. It's not like you only have one room."Westley laughed. "Okay, you're being naughty now."Jordan replied, "You become like the people you spend time with."She finished speaking and ran off.She went to the kitchen to see Miranda and offer to help.Miranda told he

"What is there to prepare?" Westley sat down with Jordan. "They're not strangers."Miranda gave her a glare and handed Jordan some fruit. "Look at me, still wearing my pajamas...""Jordy, it's not that I don't care about you. It's just that Westley didn't say anything, and you two... we also didn't want to ask too much. Wait for me to change into something proper. What would you like to eat? I'll personally cook for you."Jordan quickly stopped her. "No need, we're so familiar with each other already, Mom."Miranda froze, then after a long pause, she grasped Jordan's hand, wiping her tears as she said, “Okay.”Jordan gave Westley a look, and he handed her a tissue.She wiped Miranda's tears. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you worry.""It's our fault," Miranda patted her hand. "We never thought that Westley would do that.""You two grew up together and had a great relationship. We always thought, when we're gone, he'll be able to love you and take care of you well on our beha

Jordan asked him, "You finished so quickly?""Why does it sound like you're unhappy that I came over?""No, it's just that your meetings used to take quite a long time."Westley casually ruffled her hair.Jordan wasn't happy. "You messed up my hairstyle!"Westley chuckled softly. "You're just had your hair down. Is it even styled?""You don't understand.""Alright, I don't understand."Westley pulled her back to the bedroom.Jordan wasn't happy. When they were going upstairs, he carried her back to the room."Do you really like kids that much?"Jordan put her hands against him to stop him from getting any closer."What, can't I like kids now? Henry and Sparrow are so cute."Westley caught both her hands and pinned them down. "Then should we have one too?"Jordan struggled. "Who said I want to have one with you?""Then who do you want to have one with?"Jordan kicked him with her leg. "Get off me."Westley bent down and asked, "Afraid of the pain?""Yes." Jordan was pi

Jordan didn't really know—she had only come here to escape.Now, there wasn't much left to escape from.If it weren't for wanting to spend a few more days with Jane and the others, she would have already been ready to go back to work.Westley saw that she had been thinking for a long time without speaking and asked, "So, are you coming with me to the theme park, or playing with those two kids?"Jordan almost forgot—there were two adorable children here."Then I'll play with the kids.""What, still think I'm too old?"Jordan gave him a playful glare. "Stop bringing that up all the time. Don't think you can keep me trapped with that topic."Westley asked, "Then why not come to the theme park with me?""Weren't you the one who gave me the choice?"Jordan gave a soft snort. "If you only want one answer, then next time give me just one option.""Alright." Westley looked at her with eyes full of affection. "Whatever you say goes.""I've got a meeting—you go play with the kids."

It felt very unreal.It felt like she was dreaming."Will you marry me?""Huh?"Jordan was completely dazed, thinking she would hear him say a lot of touching words.But in the end, all she heard were just those simple words."Are you... talking?"Westley nodded. "Yes. Will you marry me?"For a moment, Jordan truly wanted to throw the flowers at his face.But then she remembered her conversation with Charlotte.And she felt that Charlotte had a point.They were already married, yet Westley still wanted to give her a sense of ceremony.Even if he didn't say any romantic lines, she wouldn't be able to refuse his proposal now.With that thought in mind, she reached out her hand."I will!"Westley slipped the ring onto her finger, stood up, and hugged her.Jordan heard him whisper softly in her ear. "I'm really nervous. It's my first time doing something like this, so I don’t know what to say—I was afraid I'd cry. Give me a little grace. Whatever you want to hear, I'll say

"Okay."Jordan started to feel something was off. "Charlotte, I remember you didn't like the smell of cigarettes. Didn't Frank stop smoking after being with you?"Charlotte responded calmly, "Not really. If I didn't like the smell of cigarettes, I wouldn't have gotten along with Jane for so many years. She was already smoking when I first met her. Also, Frank didn't stop smoking just because he was with me. It was only later, when I was pregnant and feeling unwell, that he stayed by my side and simply forgot about it. Men have a lot of work pressure too. If he smokes now and out of my sight, I think I should try to understand that. That's what being a couple means."Jordan was persuaded. "Yeah, I guess you’re right. There should be mutual understanding. I do act a bit spoiled sometimes."Charlotte said, "When I talk about understanding, I don't mean compromise. If there's something you really can't accept, it still needs to be discussed between the two of you."Jordan was confused

"Wow."Jane and Charlotte stood at the doorway, watching with great interest.It was quite the appetizing show.Zachary and Frank, on the other hand, weren't interested, and headed to the yard to set up the grill.Frank chatted casually with him. "He's been proving himself for two days now—why do you keep poking at his age? He even made you bleed."Zachary said, "I did it for the greater good. Look at them now, kissing like they can't bear to part."Frank cocked his brows and said nothing in response.Jordan overheard Jane and Charlotte's voices.Her face turned completely red from embarrassment.She couldn't push Westley away, so she had no choice but to bite him.When he relaxed his grip, she took the chance to run.She didn't even dare glance at Jane and Charlotte at the door.Back in her room, she buried herself under the blanket.So embarrassing.Downstairs, Jane and Charlotte, satisfied with the show, headed to the yard.Westley, meanwhile, went upstairs.Sure eno

'What was that?'Jordan truly had nothing in her head but confusion.She had just been teased by Jane outside.She thought that since she hadn't come downstairs in the past couple of days, everyone already knew—Westley was... not impotent.Why was Frank saying things like that now?"Frank, what are you talking about?""Nothing."Frank left the kitchen and sat next to Charlotte.After Jane finished tending to Zachary's wound, she even fed him some food.The man held his wife in his arms and asked in a low voice, "All your friends are bringing their husbands food. Why aren't you doing the same?"Charlotte smiled. "That's because Jane took a bite and didn't like it. She thought it would be wasteful, so she gave it to Zachary."Frank played with her hand and asked, "Is there nothing you don't like to eat?""Nope."In the kitchen—Jordan sensed that Westley was upset. She reached out and hugged him, asking, "Did Zachary and the others tease you?"Westley finished handling wha
