Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 98
The next day, when the servants blocked me at the gate of the old mansion, not allowing me to step out, I understood.Last night was indeed just a notification.I knew this was Ryan's idea; it had nothing to do with the servants. I patiently asked, "Where is Ryan?""Master left before dawn.""Did Albert return?""Not yet. Albert is handling the arrangements after Master's passing."I calmly said, "What if I insist on going out now?""Madam, you can't leave."The servant pointed to several black-clad bodyguards standing outside the French windows.I couldn't help but freeze.In these three years, Ryan's hypocrisy hadn't changed at all. Clearly, he told me to stay here for just one night, but now he wouldn't even let me step out of the main gate.For a moment, I even wondered if he was ever the same boy who used to kindly take me to the school clinic, who always tried to respect my dignity and invited me to dinner.Could eight years really change someone so drastically?In t

He was afraid I would call the police again, so he decided not to go to the company and instead held a video conference in the study.I sat in the courtyard all afternoon, feeling as if I was sitting on pins and needles.The next day was the day of my grandfather's funeral, with a somber and desolate atmosphere. It was drizzling lightly, the cold seeping into our hearts.I finally got out of the Frost family mansion and stood by Ryan's side, being led by him like a puppet on a string to receive the guests who came to mourn.His temper had been terrible these past two days, more like he was revealing his true nature rather than changing.I had no choice but to yield to him.I had told him again last night that my grandfather had never asked us not to divorce before he passed away, only that Jessica should not marry into the Frost family. He didn't believe me. He accused me of lying.But I was too tired to argue with him.During the funeral, I stood quietly on the sidelines in a

Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment but quickly understood the reason behind it.Jane furrowed his brows tightly, looking at me with confusion, and whispered, "Did Ryan suddenly change?""No," I replied, watching Jessica being escorted away by the bodyguards, gently pursing my lips. "He's just feeling guilty and wants to make amends."At the moment of Grandpa's passing, as his most beloved grandson, Ryan wasn't by his side. His absence on the day of Grandpa's death had greatly upset him. How could he not feel guilty, regretful, and self-blaming?His ultimate way of expressing it was to obey Grandpa's words and insist that I become the mistress of the Frost family for life. It had nothing to do with me as a person.After the funeral, I returned to the old mansion and helped Albert organize Grandpa's belongings. The servants had already tidied up once, leaving only Grandpa's everyday clothes.Every piece I held in my hands made me feel as if Grandpa hadn'

Tears streamed down my face in an instant as I tremblingly took the velvet box.Opening it, I saw two brilliant jade sculptures. One had floating flower patterns, the other did not.This grade of jadeite was hard to come by. It showed how much Grandpa cared.I carefully closed the lid and took a deep breath. "When did Grandpa find out about my pregnancy?"He knew long ago, but to take care of my emotions, he never asked me.Grandpa had passed away, but I still felt how much he cared.Albert said, "After the last family banquet, Mr. William had someone check your medical records... Don't blame him. He was only afraid of your health problems and worried about you intentionally hiding it from him.""Why would I blame..." I cried harder. "I only blame myself."If I had told Grandpa earlier, he could have been happier for a while longer.He didn’t need to be so careful and afraid to even ask me."Bringing an heir to the Frost family is already a good thing. Even if the old man has

I was momentarily stunned.I almost forgot about this matter.Grandpa had passed away, and Ryan, as the head of the Frost family, naturally had to move in.I freed myself from his grasp and compromised. "Forget it then."Later that evening, the servants prepared dinner, and Albert came to call us downstairs to eat.The vast old mansion seemed to be functioning in an orderly manner as usual.However, everyone's expressions were somewhat solemn.After dinner, I returned to my room to wash up and fell into a deep slumber.For two whole days, I had hardly closed my eyes. I was tired but couldn’t sleep.Now that everything had settled down, I slept particularly soundly, waking naturally only the next morning.Ryan was no longer there.These days, the company had been extremely busy, with rival companies trying to take advantage of this time to strike.When I arrived at work, I received many strange looks along the way.Although Ryan had promised not to have any more contact wit

I stared intently at the screen.One photo showed the side of Jack and me at the concert.The other captured us leaving, his arm seemingly draped around my shoulder from behind.Seeing the second photo, I suddenly understood why I had barely been bumped into after almost falling that day.It turned out Jack's hand had been protecting me from behind...I didn’t know to laugh or cry. "This person's imagination and logical reasoning skills are quite impressive.""Jack is so attentive to you, no wonder people are speculating." Jane remarked, "In my opinion, he's more reliable than Ryan.""Don't talk nonsense." I took a sip of hot tea. "He has someone he likes, and he's liked her for many years.""Who does he like? Why hasn't he brought her out for us to see?""I don't know. I guess when he succeeds in pursuing her, he'll bring her out."I kept silent about Jack liking someone who was already married.After all, it was his privacy, and it was somewhat... unethical. The fewer peop

She exerted tremendous force, her meticulously manicured nails digging deep into my skin, burning with a fiery pain.Hearing her words, Jane's face changed instantly. She wanted to rush forward to pull me away, but Jessica held onto my wrist tightly, refusing to let go.Her eyes were almost crazed, tainted with a coldness. "Didn't you understand? I told you to call Ryan.""Okay." Jane hesitated because of my pregnancy, not daring to forcefully pull me away. She had no choice but to compromise. "I'll call him now, just let go of Charlotte.""No way!"Jessica dragged me out of the shopping center, walked a bit further, and in front of us was the bustling main road with cars passing by.I recalled the sight of Ryan covered in blood last time, feeling a chill down my spine.Jessica... she might really be capable of dragging me into something as extreme as dying together.Jane's face turned pale. She had already dialed the phone. "Don't be impulsive, don't hurt Charlotte.""Put it
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 105
The next moment, I fell hard to the ground in pain...The pain made my head spin.My knees hurt, my arms hurt, my stomach... also hurt.I parted my lips to call out his name, but I saw him anxiously holding Jessica, who had also been hit by the car. He shouted urgently and angrily, "Are you trying to get yourself killed?"Although it was an angry question, his eyes were full of fear and concern.Then, he took out his phone and dialed a number, his fingers trembling, "Gary, come over right away!""Charlotte!"Everything happened in an instant. Jane was probably even more stunned than I was. Once she reacted, she dashed through the traffic and ran over quickly, even losing one of her high heels.Her tears fell heavily. She wanted to help me but was afraid of worsening my injuries. Trembling, she said, "Charlotte... don't be afraid..."I felt something warm slowly flowing out of my body, and with the last of my strength, I grasped Jane's hand, "It hurts... Jane, it hurts so much.

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
