Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 82
My heart sank.I almost didn't dare to meet his gaze, afraid that the doctor might blurt out something.That would be disastrous.I spoke first. "Doctor, he didn't come with me today. He came for a prenatal check-up with another woman."Ryan's voice was warm and deep. "I didn't specifically come with her.""But you did come, didn't you?"I didn't want the doctor to go into the details.It was like catching a cheater. Nobody would care why your husband would be with another woman. All people cared about was that he betrayed you.Whether it was a drunken mistake or premeditated, did it really make a difference?What happened couldn't be changed. No matter how noble the excuse, a mistake was already made.Ryan had nothing to say, his gaze was firm. "You still haven't told me, why did you come to the hospital today?""Haven't I told you...""Don't stall." He interrupted coldly, seeming determined to get to the bottom of this.The ultrasound doctor hadn't left yet. "Mrs. Frost,

He was slightly stunned. "You... knew about what happened at the company?""Yeah, I just found out today." I tried to shrug nonchalantly, but I found that I had no strength left. "So, you're not going to change your decision, right?"How could he bear to let Jessica stand at the center of attention again?As expected, his face turned slightly cold. "She's having a delicate pregnancy and can't handle stress. But rest assured, once she's better, I won't let you suffer any more grievance."His words made me completely disappointed.I suppressed the sourness in my nose and looked at him disappointedly. "But what if I'm pregnant too? What if my situation is worse than hers?"Every minute and every second I stood there, I could feel the dull ache in my lower abdomen and the dampness below.But my husband told me his sweetheart couldn't handle stress, so I had to handle it.Meaning, my life was expendable, and I should just endure it.Ryan's body stiffened slightly, then he chuckled

I was suddenly taken aback and instinctively glanced at Ryan. He appeared calm and gentle, holding me in his arms, looking nothing like someone who was here for a divorce. The floor of the hall was dry, and I gently freed myself from his grasp, pursing my lips. "No, we're here to get divorced.""Oh..."The staff member seemed regretful. "It's not easy for two people to come together. You seem to have a good relationship. Why do you want a divorce? Getting divorced is not a small matter. Please don't be impulsive. Once there's a crack, it's hard to mend."I lowered my gaze helplessly. "You might have gotten the sequence mixed up. Cracks don't appear because of divorce. Divorce happens because there are cracks."Few couples would want to divorce unless they had no other choice.The staff member stopped trying to dissuade us. "Well, go ahead. There aren't many people here because of the heavy rain. You can go to any available counter.""Okay, thank you."After thanking them, I foun

He was taken aback. "How did you know?"We were getting divorced so there was no point hiding anything. I said, "That day, I overheard you and Grandpa talking in the office. I heard you admit that you no longer have any feelings for me. Actually, this marriage may have been wrong from the beginning.""No."He almost urgently denied, furrowing his brow as he recalled, explaining, "My acknowledgment wasn't about that question. You misunderstood..."I wasn't eager to argue, simply watching him quietly with a faint smile. "So, did you ever love me?"Ryan was briefly stunned, perhaps finding this question particularly difficult. "Charlotte...""Don't explain. It would only make me look pitiful."I smiled lightly, seeming indifferent. "Have Gary send over the agreement I gave him. In the future, when you marry someone else, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to hold onto that share..."He suddenly interjected forcefully, every word deliberate, "I won't marry anyone else."My eyelashe

"So afraid that I'll regret it?" His voice was muffled. "But I'm more afraid that you'll treat me like a stranger."The surroundings were cold, but his embrace felt just as warm as it did in the past.His words left me stunned.By the time I collected my thoughts, he had already opened the car door for me. After I got in, he turned away without looking back.Through the rain curtain, I glimpsed his upright figure, soaked halfway through.It felt like a thousand ants were gnawing at my heart, leaving it emptier and emptier.So, this was how easy it was to end a marriage.Just half an hour at the Civil Affairs Bureau, submitting documents, signing papers.One month later, another visit, both parties were still in agreement, and we received our divorce certificates.And just like that, everything was cut off.The days of sharing a bed and pillow, of mutual support, seemed like nothing more than a dream.Of course, this all hinged on whether Ryan would keep his word.When I ret

Albert urgently spoke, "Mrs. Frost! Please come back quickly. Grandpa is furious and wants to beat Mr. Frost. Only you can talk him out of it.""What?" Just hearing the first half of the sentence, I sprang up, grabbed a coat, and headed out.It wasn't so much about worrying for Ryan.Although Grandpa had more than one grandson besides Ryan, he cared for him the most. Even if he were to lay hands on him, there would be degrees of severity, and it wouldn't be life-threatening. But Grandpa's health was important, and it was best not to upset him unnecessarily. Unless absolutely necessary, Albert wouldn't be this anxious.Albert said, "You'll see when you get back!"Regardless of my thoughts, when I arrived at the Frost family's residence, I was still stunned.In the study, Ryan, who had once been dignified and composed, was now kneeling on the floor, unable to straighten up from the beating. His forehead was throbbing with veins, and he could only support himself on the edge of th
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 88
Although I hadn't considered continuing this marriage with Ryan.Hearing Grandpa's resolute defense, my heart warmed.Ryan pursed his lips. "I have disappointed Charlotte, but I never intended to marry another.""Never intended? If you never intended, why did Charlotte divorce you? Wasn't it because you completely broke her heart?" Grandpa didn't believe a single word.Supporting himself on the edge of the ebony table, Ryan slowly stood up. "I truly never intended to. But I can't ignore Jessica either, especially since she's pregnant.""You're quite the humanitarian!" Grandpa threw a teacup at him.He didn't dodge it, taking the hit squarely on his forehead, which soon began to bleed. Despite this, his expression remained unchanged as he earnestly said, "I promised Aunt Wen that I would take care of her.""What about Charlotte? There are strong rumors in the company that you brought Jessica closer, making everyone see Charlotte as the homewrecker. Do you think that's fair to her
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 89
Although we didn't usually live here, the housekeeping staff kept everything immaculate, with not a speck of dust in sight. Even the bedsheets and covers were changed every three days. There was a vintage-style wedding photo hanging on the bedside, touched up by a top-notch editor without a trace of Photoshop.When Ryan sat on the bed, I attempted to withdraw my wrist again, but he held on tight, furrowing his brow. "You won't even help me apply medicine before the divorce is finalized?""I'll get the first aid kit. What else would I use to wipe it for you?"Helpless, I had to compromise. Only then did he let go, relaxing his grip. "Go ahead."I found the first aid kit in the drawer, took out the iodine and ointment, and walked over to him, standing in front of him. The wound on his forehead was shocking, and I gently lowered my head, one hand supporting the back of his head, the other wiping away the blood stains.Grandpa had really laid into him; as soon as I wiped away the bloo

She just wanted to escape from this place and hide somewhere safe.Because of this, the familiar light pear blossom fragrance on Westley's body made her neither push him away nor leave his embrace.In fact, she even held onto him a little tighter.Sensing her reliance on him, Westley held her even closer, as if he wanted to merge her into his very bones.They were almost at the car when the younger man rushed forward to block their way.Westley's cold, piercing gaze fell on the younger man's ankle.He immediately realized that this scumbag had been faking his injury."Buck," he said.Buck appeared instantly and pinned the younger man to the ground.The younger man, however, was unbothered. "There's no way Westley would appear in a place like this. And dressed so casually? You couldn't possibly be the famous head of the Howard family. Trying to impose as Westley? You've reached the end of your rope."When Westley was in a good mood, he might have humored a fool like this.But

It was the 21st century, yet there were still such retards around.This was the first time she had encountered someone blatantly staging an accident.And, if she wasn't mistaken, the person in front of her was the leader of this boy band.Some people's voices were naturally gifted—either deep and resonant or low and attractive.It was difficult for others to imitate.Take Westley, for example.His rich, mellow voice had been honed through years of practicing a London accent.It also had something to do with the experiences he had accumulated over the years.When she was younger, it was hard not to be drawn to Westley.Because of this, she never liked younger men.Especially those who hit every one of her triggers."You're quite bold. You've shown me the diversity of species. Are you trying to rip me off? Dream on." Jordan pointed to her shoulder. "A camera. I recorded everything you just did. If you don't want to lose your fanbase, you'd better get lost right now."The youn

The woman knew very well what would happen to her best friend.She wasn't saying these things to defend her friend, though.She had never liked Jordan.Not only was she jealous of Jordan's protection from Oliver, but now, Jordan had also become the famous Mrs. Howard.Why should Jordan, just because she was a little prettier, get such preferential treatment?She had known Oliver first and had liked him for a long time.But the moment Jordan appeared, she received all of Oliver's affection.How could she accept that?But she couldn't afford to offend the Howard family.After throwing out a few insults, she left.Jasmine was rendered speechless. "Who does she think she is?"Jordan didn't waste her time with people like this.To her, they were just driven by jealousy.They were timid, and it was easy to dismiss them.But Westley, now that was truly giving her a headache.Now, almost everyone knew about her marriage to Westley.It was so annoying.Jasmine thought Jordan ha

The staff couldn't give up.This was an order from the Howard family. If she couldn't convince Mrs. Howard to get into first class, her job would be on the line."Sorry, this cannot be refunded. But if you insist on sitting in economy, you can do so at the price of a first-class ticket. It's up to you."Although it wasn't her money, it still felt wasteful.Someone like Westley, who had no shortage of money, wouldn't understand how difficult it was to earn money."Alright, let's go."Jasmine was much more excited than Jordan."Ms. Hickey, this is my first time in first class! When I first saw your work, I loved it, and now, I can be your assistant. I will definitely do my best!"Jordan was troubled and didn't feel like talking much."I'll sleep for a while. Wake me up when we arrive.""Okay."Jasmine had a feeling that the upgrade was done by Westley.She had seen his watch—a limited edition, priceless. It could buy a luxury apartment.He seemed like an employee, but in rea

She became more and more agitated.Her face and neck turned red with anger.Tears began to fall uncontrollably as her emotional distress took over.She wiped her face forcefully and then motioned for him to leave.Westley handed her a piece of tissue, but Jordan didn't take it."Leave."Westley's lips pressed together slightly, and his deep voice carried a strong tone of apology."I acknowledge all the mistakes I've made, all the things I've said. I know that the harm I've caused you can't be fixed in a day, but Jordy, you can hit me, curse me, order me to work like a servant, but asking me to give up on you, that’s something I can't do."Jordan opened the door. Though she didn't say anything, her intention for him to leave was clear.Westley stood in front of her. "The interviewees weren't as good as me. I won't accept you rejecting me because of our personal relationship. I'm starting work now."Jordan couldn't help but laugh angrily. "Westley, do you look like an assistant
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 1087
"You can't reject me just without even giving me a chance to interview. And I don't accept your reason for rejection, you don’t even know what I’m good at."What professionalism did he have?Westley couldn't even tell the model of a camera.He had received elite education since childhood, and even in his personal life, he never engaged with these entertainment fields.Jordan didn't want to waste time.Even if, hypothetically, she did interview him, what would come of it? Was she really going to keep him as an assistant just because he did a little preparation?"You can leave. It's my studio, and I have the right to decide who I interview and who I don't."Westley just sat down at the door.When the next interviewee arrived, he would tell them that the studio owner didn’t care about what they were good at.He warned them not to waste their time.Jordan pushed him away and led the interviewee inside.Westley stood up and followed her."I've already turned you down, sir.

After a moment of silence.Oliver signed the resignation letter that she handed over."If you're unhappy in the future, you can still come back.""Jordy, don't feel pressured."Jordan nodded, said nothing, and turned to leave.Since she had decided to open a studio, she immediately started making arrangements.In the end, she chose Nelana as the location.After this trip, she suddenly felt that avoiding Westley all the time was rather pointless.She hadn't done anything wrong, so why was it always her who had to wander around?Even coming back to see her grandfather had to be done cautiously.In the future, she would stay in Nelana, so she could visit her grandfather’s grave more often.She tidied up the old house that her grandfather had left her.The photography studio was opened in a small alley.Over the years, she had gained some fame, so there was no need to set up shop in a busy district to attract business.The studio's name was simple “J”.After tidying up alone

She was still shocked by the fact that he had slept with Diana, and then came another gossip."Whose child is it?""Felix's."Jane couldn't help but clap her hands. "What a drama."Roy said, "Mr. Frost isn't someone who can be easily set up. He might have known exactly what happened that night with that woman. Doing this was probably to put someone's mind at ease."This someone was surely Frank.That was Jane’s guess.The next second, Roy answered, "That way, the person won't keep holding onto the past, and Mrs. Smith can live in peace."He was still thinking of Charlotte.Jane finished the last of her chicken and drank the coke.She leaned back in her chair, habitually patting her little belly.Zachary quickly stopped her with a swift move."It's not because you ate too much and your stomach temporarily bloated, it's the baby."Jane occasionally forgot she was pregnant, mainly because the early morning sickness was replaced by Zachary.With the help of Tanner's medicine,

Zachary helped her into the car and asked what she wanted to eat.Jane blinked at him wildly.He understood.Nothing was better than gossiping and eating.Zachary had someone ask around."They'll definitely get you the latest and most authentic gossip. Now, let's fill your stomach with real food first."Jane leaned closer to him, resting her chin on his shoulder, and kissed his firm jaw.Zachary sighed. "No junk food."Jane replied, "But I really want to eat fried chicken."Zachary couldn't tolerate the greasy smell.Due to his stomach issues, he couldn't eat much, so he never paid attention to it.His sense of smell was more sensitive than those who were constantly around such strange smells.Moreover, junk food was bad for both her and the baby.There was no need for it."Anything you say today won't work."Jane knew how Zachary was going to react. "You don't have to be with me. I'll go eat it myself. I must eat it, otherwise, I'll be in a bad mood, and the baby will f
