I kindly pointed her in the right direction. "If you hope your child isn't illegitimate, go find Ryan and ask him to hurry up with the divorce, understood? Don't make a scene here. If you end up having a miscarriage, you'll lose one more bargaining chip to marry into the Frost family. See her out."Finally, I instructed her assistant.Jessica was furious and probably thought I had a point, so she just left.And the direction I pointed her in worked quite effectively.As for how I knew, in the afternoon, I received a call from Ryan."What did you say to her?" he asked as soon as I answered the call.I paused and said, "I didn't say much, just that she urged me to divorce you and I told her to talk to you."His tone became colder. "You didn't tell her to go die?"Was she trying to exaggerate things?I wasn't surprised that Jessica would do this. Softening my voice, I said, "I only said that because I was provoked. She called me a prostitute pretending to be virtuous, a disaster

When we returned home after finishing the IV, it was already dark outside. Worried that she wouldn't take care of herself for the next couple of days, I decided to stay at her place.The next day, during breakfast, Jane glanced at me several times furtively. I chuckled. "What's up?""Well, it's just... it's just..." Jane hesitated, then brought herself together. "The night Ryan took the aphrodisiac, your phone suddenly died. I didn't get a chance to ask you about it later."I didn't understand. "Ask me about what?"She smiled and leaned in, asking, "Did you guys do it? With that drug, is it really long-lasting and powerful?"I was having cereals and choked instantly. Although I already knew she had an outspoken personality, she still caught me off guard.I coughed several times, pretending to be calm. "No, we didn't do anything."She handed me a few pieces of tissues, looking skeptical. "Really?""Of course not. I'm still in the first three months of pregnancy. How could we?"
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 71
I was surprised. "How come everyone knows she's pregnant? This should be something very few people know about.""Who knows." Jane crossed her legs, sitting down. "There are plenty of people willing to expose mistresses. She probably slipped up somewhere herself, and it spread.""Just take a look and don't get involved," I said.I wasn't a saint. Whether it was Jessica or Ryan involved in this kind of marital affair, whoever got criticized deserves it. But Ryan was difficult to deal with. If he decided to stand up for Jessica, I was afraid that Jane would get dragged into it. She was already struggling to survive in Jelaston on her own. She wouldn't withstand Ryan's suppression.Jane uncomfortably rubbed her ear and muttered, "Got it." She spoke so fast I could barely make it out.After filling our stomachs, I watched her take her medicine before she settled onto the couch to play games. Meanwhile, I lay on the coffee table, pondering over the designs for the competition.The dead

Jane held back at first but then snatched the phone from me in one swift move, her illness didn't weaken her fighting spirit in the slightest."Jessica, don't you have a mirror? Or are you just blind? You can't even hide the words 'mistress' on your face, can you? And you, Ryan, who the hell do you think you are..."I shivered after hearing those words, not waiting for them to escalate the conversation, I lunged forward and hung up the phone!Jane wasn't done venting her anger. "Why did you hang up? I was about to give those two a piece of my mind!""Calm down," I said.I originally felt extremely aggrieved, but now I calmed down. I poured a glass of water for Jane. "Actually, if Ryan really listens to her, it might be better for everyone if we got divorced."Given the current situation between Ryan and me, letting each other go might be the best choice."Are you really okay with that?" Jane took a big gulp of hot water, getting more and more worked up. "I support you getting di

"Stop embarrassing yourself!""Huh?" Tom opened his eyes and was shocked. "Charlotte? It's you... uh..."He scratched his head awkwardly. "I didn't expect you to be here as well.""Yeah, I'm here to hang out with Jane," I teased, pointing to the shoe cabinet. "Help yourself."Seeing him like this, it was clear he wasn't here for the first time and didn't need me to fetch slippers for him.Turning back, I gave Jane a puzzled look.Jane shrugged. "It's definitely not what you're thinking. I'm still single by the way.""Charlotte, just wait for my good news!" Tom had eased out of his embarrassment, changed into a pair of slippers, and smiled.Jane retorted, "Get lost, why are you here?""You said you were sick, so I came to check on you.""You come to visit someone who's sick empty-handed?""I came over as soon as you told me you were sick, so I didn't have time to buy anything. I'll order something right now."I tactfully carried my drawing board into the bedroom. I sat by th

I was slightly taken aback. "Maybe."As adults, especially at such a critical moment, we would obviously think about each other's actions.But what I always wanted was never to have both the carrot and the stick.It was too boring.If there was no mutual understanding, then it would be best for each other to go our own ways. That was the best choice.Today was not a drinking session but a card game.When we were approaching the door of the private room, I suddenly wanted to go to the toilet. I informed Jane and headed towards the toilet.After taking care of my needs, as soon as I turned the corner outside the restroom, I came face to face with Jack.He happened to see me too. He cocked his brows and smiled. "I saw your name on the competition list submitted by the Frost family. I'm looking forward to the day we will be working together."Feeling a bit embarrassed, I smiled and replied, "Jack, I'm just participating. Can..."Mid-sentence, a large hand suddenly wrapped around

It was the same old tricks.He would kiss me whenever he couldn't win in an argument.The man cupped my jaw and kissed me hard and fast, and his hands fell on my waist, rubbing me and making me shudder.I knew that if I let him continue like this, I would become too embarrassed to walk out of that door.But it wasn't up to me.He was overbearing and strong when it came to this. The power gap between a woman and a man was miles apart.I couldn't resist so I could only beg Ryan for mercy. I knew begging him always worked. "Ryan, you don't do this. What will others think of me...""Who? Jack?" he asked while kissing. The voice that was coming through his teeth was deep and sexy.I obviously wouldn't go against him at such times. I could only be forced to accept his kisses while explaining in a seamless manner, "I, I really don't have anything with him... It's just because of MS's design competition, it's only... well...""You're just using him?"His thoughts were extraordinary,

It turned out that it wasn't my imagination or a misunderstanding on my part. Even my husband was now treating me as the person in this relationship who couldn’t be seen by others.While incessantly questioning me about my relationship with Jack, he also instructed me to hide behind the door and not come out.It was hilarious."It's not what you think." Ryan reached out to touch my shoulder. I instinctively stepped back, looking at him awkwardly. I didn’t want to cry, but tears welled up in my eyes in an instant. "Don't touch me."‘Don't touch me.’ My mind went blank in waves, leaving only this one thought."Charlotte, don't jump to conclusions. I just don't want to ..."Knock! Knock! Knock!The expected knocking interrupted his words.Jessica must have caused a scene in each private room, determined to find Ryan and me. Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken this long."Go home and wait for me, I'll explain later."Before Ryan opened the door to leave, he left these words in a de

Caleb was thinking that in the future, he could let her drink a little more.Of course, only when he was around.She looked kind of cute like this."I did say that, but didn't you just say you wanted to thank me?"Whitney felt that alcohol really wasn't a good thing.Even when hanging out with Jane and the others, she decided not to drink too much anymore.The rationality and logic that she was so proud of had completely vanished.She had never been as calm in front of Caleb as she was with others.Besides, there was a power imbalance between her and him.If she were sober, she wouldn't have been able to reject him anyway.Let alone now, when her mind was muddled.But maybe because she was muddled, she dared to say things that she didn’t usually dare to say."I just lost my balance earlier, and you helped me. Even if you don't accept verbal gratitude, that doesn't mean I owe you something this big."Caleb saw she could barely stand, so he held her by the waist to keep her

"But your reaction just now didn’t seem like you knew I was here."Jane tried to pull her leg back, but when she couldn't, she slapped him in frustration."It was called acting, understand? I didn't want you to look embarrassed, so I got those two out of the way first."Zachary rubbed her ankle with his thumb, as if he believed her. "Then should I be thanking you—for being so considerate?"Jane couldn't be bothered to argue. "Let go. I want to drink.""I'll drink with you."Meanwhile, Frank held Charlotte close and asked in a low voice, "Did she really know we were here?"Charlotte nodded. "What do you think? You really think Jane would mess around during her marriage? She might be bold, but she has boundaries. But you guys really are annoying."Frank hooked her chin with his thumb. "I knew it. You're being cold to me because you're sick of me. I've said it so many times, and you still wouldn't admit it."After saying that, he picked her up and walked out of the bar.He hadn'

Charlotte nudged him with her elbow, warning him not to stir things up.Jordan truly didn't dare to stay any longer. "Westley, take me home.""Okay." Westley finally got up. "You all take your time. If it gets too late, don't go back to the old house—just find a place to crash.""But..." Jordan suddenly felt like leaving wasn't such a good idea. "Maybe I'll stay and play a bit more."Westley simply dragged her out."Jane and Zachary...""You can't control what they do, so why bother worrying over nothing?"Jordan was settled into the passenger seat, her seatbelt fastened firmly.She didn't resist, mostly because she felt what Westley said made sense.Jane was way more capable than she was. This kind of minor drama would be easy for her to handle.Plus, with the smart and composed Charlotte around—It was better if she didn't add to the chaos.Once Westley got into the driver's seat, she asked, "Why did you guys show up? Especially you—didn't you say no seeing each other a w

But it was just a polite gesture—if they had been singing inside, they wouldn't have heard her anyway.So after knocking, she pushed the door open and went in.Charlotte and the others followed to take a look.When they saw the scene inside, they gasped.The four men from home were sitting around a cards table, all eyes on the door, each with a different expression.Zachary looked at Jane, who entered first, and said with a smile, "Honey, pick someone you like and give him a kiss."Jane took a step back and bumped into Charlotte's arms.That was when she noticed the big screen beside them—it was showing their own private room."You were watching us?"Zachary tapped the cards on the table with his long fingers, still smiling."If we weren't watching, how would we get to enjoy such an entertaining scene?"They had all been drinking.Whitney didn't hold her liquor well. She was already a little dazed. Although the room was fairly bright, everything seemed a little off to her.

Caleb didn't respond. Instead, he looked at Westley and played a card.Westley won.And it was a big pot as well.He cocked his brows. "Is this your wedding gift to me, Caleb?"Caleb asked, "Your wedding—Dr. Greyson won't be absent, will he? I heard you two are very close. You've been at death's door multiple times, and he's the one who saved you."Westley nodded. "Theoretically, yes. But I'm not sure if he might have some emergency.""Besides, it's not like you, Caleb, can't reach him. You helped him last time. It's impossible he'd ignore you now."Caleb could contact Carter, but if he did, it would mean helping Carter meet Mandy.He had no interest in meddling in romantic matters—too troublesome.But he couldn't get in touch with Tanner at all.Technically, there was no real need for him to attend Westley's wedding.Even if Whitney was invited by Jane, he himself wasn't obligated.He simply wanted to go, hoping to "accidentally" run into Carter.That way, it wouldn't loo

Frank pulled her into his arms and asked, "You really have to go out for drinks?"Charlotte nodded. "It's a girls-only night. No men allowed.""Oh?" The man repeated slowly and deliberately, "No… men… allowed?"Charlotte saw the look on his face and knew exactly what he was thinking."Only women. Even the drinks are for women.""Oh? Tell me, how do you tell if a drink is male or female?"Charlotte lightly patted his face twice. "The drinks women drink are for women. Got it?"Frank laughed. "Got it."Over on Jane's end, after finishing her call, she was about to go look for Jordan, but Zachary pulled her into the room and pinned her against the wall.His warm lips covered hers, then quickly pulled away.With his forehead against hers, the man asked, "Going out for drinks?"Jane hooked his chin with her finger. "What, Mr. Collins, trying to seduce your way into a drinking invitation?"Zachary chuckled lowly, kissed her again, and asked, "May I?""No."Jane rejected him comp

Jordan had grown up in the Howard family, but the person who had taken care of her since she was little had an old house.She arranged for Jane and the others to stay there, and she would also be getting married from that house.She didn't have many friends. Originally, Leanne was supposed to be her bridesmaid. Although she had a child, she had never been married.But Leanne wasn't sure if she could make it back in time, so she let Jane and Charlotte take over as substitutes for now. They would adjust accordingly later."Try on the dress. If there's a problem, I can still make adjustments."With the help of the two of them, Jordan put on the wedding dress.But Jane was most looking forward to the wedding dress.Both her and Charlotte's weddings were going to be Cherian style.Jordan, however, wanted a Western-style one.And Charlotte, who had designed clothes for many years, had never actually designed a wedding dress before.This was her first attempt, and she was very excit

"Okay, I won't bring it up anymore."Westley walked over with Jonathan and sat down.Miranda was very satisfied. "Finally, Jordy can have dinner with me again."Jordan smiled. "I'm also happy. I can still call you Mom.""Then let's drink to that.""Okay."Westley waited for the "mother and daughter" to finish speaking, then threw out a big announcement. "By the way, our wedding is on the 22nd of next month."Clang!The spoon in Miranda's hand fell."What did you say?""On the 22nd of next month, Jordy and I are getting married. We sincerely invite you and your husband to attend."Jordan was also shocked.She only knew that Charlotte's dress was being made, and they were picking the wedding date.But Westley hadn't told her about this in advance."Next month, it's almost the New Year.""Yes, it's a wedding before the New Year. Then we'll celebrate the New Year at home. I'm informing you in advance, my dear mom. You can prepare for the the New Year Eve dinner.""The New Y

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."
