Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 10
The date that my parents died was the following Saturday as well.I planned on going to the hospital in the morning and then going to my parents' grave after the checkup.It wouldn't take too long.I somehow had a bad feeling about my plan on Saturday, but I couldn't tell what was wrong. This caused me to be unable to tell Ryan about the baby.It also caused me to be unable to tell Jane if I was going to take Ryan to my parents' grave or not.Things might change at any moment.The relationship between Ryan and Jessica was like a time bomb in my heart.Seeing that my spirit wasn't really high, she glanced in the direction of Jessica's office. "Has Ryan taken care of that bitch?""More or less."The two of us chatted for a while longer before Jane returned to the Marketing Department.I didn't know if Jessica had come to her senses or something, but nothing happened for the next couple of days.I was worried that she wasn't going to pass my designs, but things went more smooth
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 11
Everything that I had been looking forward to disappeared. I was completely disappointed.I felt that it was probably the feeling of being hopeless.I held the phone and was at a loss for words for a long time.There were some questions that I wanted to ask, but there was no point anymore.It was obvious where Ryan had gone.But he promised me that there wasn't going to be a next time.Therefore, this was his choice.The answer was obvious.All Grownups knew that in order to gain something, they had to first give up something else.I was probably the person he decided to sacrifice after careful consideration.I subconsciously rubbed my stomach. I suddenly began to wonder if I really should keep the child.If I decided to keep the child, then it would be very hard to cut off my connections with Ryan.The custody of the child alone would be a big problem."Charlotte?" Ryan called my name on the other end of the line."Okay."I didn't say anything else, or should I say I di

It was the third time that day.I had tried to tell Ryan about the child three times, but was never able to.It seemed that Ryan was destined not to meet the baby in my child.I was glad that I didn't tell him. That way, the divorce would be much simpler.Jelaston was a big city. If Ryan and I got divorced, it would be almost impossible for the two of us to meet again.Ryan would probably never find out that we had a child.Jane agreed with me after hearing what I had in mind. "Your child won't want a scumbag for a father. You're doing the right thing for not telling him."By the time I finished the IV drop and left the hospital, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.Jane wrapped her arms around mine as we headed to the car park. "Your car has been sent to the garage for repairs. It was quite badly damaged and repairs would probably take a week. I'll go with you to collect your car when the repairs are finished. If you want to go anywhere for the next few days, you can j

"What?" I was dumbfounded.Ryan continued casually, "Jack Renolds. Wasn't he the one who gave you a lift back home that night? You went to see him as soon as he came back into the country."His voice was full of disdain and self-mockery.I furrowed my brows and locked gazes with him. I then asked in disbelief, "Are you saying that I have feelings for Jack?""Do you not?" He curved his lips into a sneer.To me, his expression was full of mockery.An uncontrollable anger that I had never felt arose in my head. I raised my hand and slapped him. "You're such a bastard, Ryan!"I tried my best to not cry, but tears still welled up in my eyes.After crying for a while, I couldn't help but laugh.It was hilarious. I loved Ryan for so many years, but in the end, all he could do was ask me if I had divorced him for another man. It was pointless to say anymore.Jane had arrived without me noticing and Tom was behind her.She dragged me out of the house, looked at Tom who seemed to be i

Ryan and I weren’t even officially divorced yet and Jessica was already in such a rush to get his things back.The shares were worth way too much, so I never planned on keeping them.I just didn’t want Jessica to get what she wanted so easily.I frowned slightly. "Who are you to ask me such a question?"Jessica chuckled arrogantly. "Are you trying to seize the shares? Those were given to Ryan's wife by Ryan himself. Once you divorce him, the shares won't belong to you anymore!""Have you still not gone to see a doctor?" I asked. "You need to go see a doctor as soon as possible. Otherwise, you might end up in a mental hospital and not just medication."Jessica squinted her eyes. "Charlotte, are you calling me crazy?!"I couldn't be bothered to argue with her, so I asked softly, "Have you received the letter of resignation? Please approve it as soon as possible.""Do I need you to tell me what to do? I submitted it to the Human Resource Department last night." She wished that I c

After hearing that question, I realized that besides William, there was another gaze fixed on me tightly.I actually found it hard to answer William's question.I didn't want to lie to William, but if I told the truth, William would definitely not allow us to get a divorce.After hesitating for a while, before I could say anything, William seemed to have already got an answer. "Alright, I think I know the answer. Please stay by his side for me. This kid didn't have a mother to raise him, that's why he has such a bad temper. Please forgive him."Finally, he grabbed Ryan's ear and said, "If you think I've been around for too long, you're welcome to piss me off so much that I die of a heart attack or something. No one will stop you two from getting a divorce if I'm not around.""Are you trying to use your life to force me to do something?" Ryan asked with a meaningful smile."How dare you speak to me like that?"William was furious and was about to hit him again, but Ryan dodged th

Glancing at the time, it was already past two o’clock in the morning.Didn’t he get off work with Jessica?How did he end up going drinking with Tom and the others? According to Tom, Jessica wasn't even there.I tried to call again, but his phone was already turned off. It had probably run out of battery.I had no choice but to get changed and head out. I took a taxi to their usual gathering place, a private club.When I arrived, most people had already dispersed.In the private room, only Tom and Jack remained.There was Ryan, dressed in a designer suit, his long legs crossed, sleeping soundly on the couch.As soon as Tom saw me, he looked helpless. "Charlotte, I don't know what's gotten into Ryan today. He kept drinking with Jack, and we couldn't stop him."I could vaguely guess why.He still stubbornly believed that there was something between Jack and me.Perhaps all men were like this. They could do as they pleased, but would never tolerate even the slightest possibilit

About 10 minutes later, I parked the car outside the courtyard."We're home, Ryan," I said as I opened the car door.Unexpectedly, the drunken man collapsed as I opened the door.I frowned and reluctantly pulled him back up. "Can you stand up on your own?"There was no response.I had to call Brenda, who was asleep, to help me carry Ryan back to his room."Mrs. Frost, do you need any help?" asked Brenda."No, you can go back to bed."I felt a bit embarrassed for disturbing her. I didn't want to trouble her further.After Brenda left, I endured the discomfort of the smell of alcohol and helped Ryan take off his shoes and tie, then I prepared to go downstairs.But as I turned around, I realized that he had suddenly grabbed my hand.With his eyes closed, he murmured, "Honey..."I didn't really think he was calling me. It was more likely that he and Jessica had progressed to the point of calling each other such intimate nicknames.I reached out and opened his eyelids. "Ryan, l

The atmosphere was infused with desire and a hint of flirtation.It made her heart skip a beat...Jordan cursed her own lack of willpower.No matter what he did, she still liked him.This feeling was really frustrating."I'm leaving."Jordan crawled out from under the blanket, tidying up her clothes."Since you've broken our agreement unilaterally, I've decided to give you the cold shoulder for three days."Westley nodded. "That's how it should be."Jordan left.When the assistant entered, he found his employer smiling in a rather seductive way.He paused before stepping forward to report."Sir, we've located the whereabouts of Shannon. Should we inform Mr. Jackson?""No need. He can find it himself." Westley waved his hand.The assistant then reported another matter. "Your supposed death caused quite a stir. Although with Mr. Collins's help, the Howard family still struggled. Should we offer some assistance?"Westley replied, "Zachary will handle it. If I intervene, it

"You can’t see the future."Jordan was about to nod, agreeing with him.What he said made a lot of sense.But suddenly, something didn't feel right."Back then, you came with Jasmine for my interview. Didn't you do a background check on her?"Westley had, of course, checked. For someone like him, it was customary to investigate everyone he came into contact with.Eliminating any potential dangers was part of his preparation, ensuring that he wasn't caught off guard by anything in the future.And when he did a background check, it wasn't just checking the information he could get easily.Fake identities might fool others, but they couldn't fool him."Even if I had told you back then, you wouldn't have believed me. I think I did try to warn you."Jordan didn't want to say anything anymore.But after waiting for a while, she said, "You did it to get back at Nathan. You knew Jasmine's background, but you never said a word."Westley nodded, admitting it calmly."At first, I tri

"Are you still at the hospital?""I've gone home."Jane briefly explained to her about Jasmine and Nathan's situation and urged her to go check on Nathan.She felt like Zachary was hiding something from her.She wasn't angry or distrustful, just a bit anxious, wanting to know the specifics to feel at ease."Alright, don't worry, Jane. I'm already out of the elevator," replied Jordan as she entered the door after scanning her fingerprint.She bumped into Zachary, who was opening the door.She stepped back and asked, "Are you leaving, Zachary?"Zachary nodded. "You should stay at my place for a few days. It's not convenient here. Both houses there are empty, and you won't be disturbed."Jordan sensed the seriousness of the situation and asked, "How is Nathan?"Zachary asked in return, "Did your sister send you?"Jordan shook her head. "Not really. I was already worried and came back to check. I got a call from her when I arrived downstairs. She said you..."Zachary responded,

Westley walked over to her, having already instructed someone to buy breakfast.He sat her down on the sofa and poured her a cup of water.Then he said, "Why bother worrying about other people's business? Besides, even if you didn't save me at that time, it wouldn't have mattered. If I had died, it would've been like paying back those years of indifference to you. That was my most sincere apology to you."Jordan was no longer the naive little fool she used to be.Having been tricked by him so many times, she had long since grown a lot smarter."Westley, you wanted to kill two birds with one stone."Westley was quite surprised. "Tell me why you think that way?"Jordan said, "How could you easily die? Didn't you just pretend to get stabbed, knowing that Dr. Greyson would definitely come to save you? You also purposely made me hold the knife because with Roy present, he's a witness. You also knew that Dr. Greyson has always been obsessed with Mandy, and would have Zachary help him.

Just as she was feeling happy, her wrist was suddenly grabbed.She wanted to shake off the restraint in dissatisfaction. After failing to do so several times, she became angry, opened her eyes to see what was going on, and was met with a pair of green gem-like eyes, filled with a meaningful smile.Then, she saw his thin lips part slightly, and he uttered something that made her feel embarrassed."Jordy, you've crossed the line."Jordan looked down, and saw that the blanket had created a boundary, yet she had crossed over it.At that moment, not only was she lying on Westley's side, but her legs were also tangled around him like an octopus.So, what she had just felt wasn't from a dream, it was his muscles.At that moment, she just wanted to escape quickly.But the man held her tightly."Jordy, if I cross the line, I'll lose points. But what will happen if you cross the line?"Jordan couldn't argue with Westley, especially since she was in the wrong.In the end, she could onl

Zachary leaned closer to her, his voice hoarse. "Hmm, just take care of me, help me out, honey..."Jordan stayed overnight in Westley's ward.They had a blanket between them, creating an imaginary boundary."If you cross the line, I'll deduct points."Westley lay on one side, propping his head up, smiling as he looked at her."You're really going to deduct points? Are you going to hold me accountable for this?"Jordan replied, "Well, if you perform well, I might add some points.""Is that so? How many points would I need to satisfy you?""Maybe, possibly, 100 million points."Westley saw the clever, mischievous look in her eyes and knew she was teasing him.He said indulgently, "Alright, whatever you say."Jordan knew Westley well and didn't believe his words."Let me remind you again, you're the pursuer, so don't be touching me."She only said it now, but earlier she hadn't really pushed him away.Westley played along. "Okay."That night, most people were peacefully asl

Jane's surprise was no less than Jordan's.Before she could ask anything, Zachary handed her a file.Jane opened it and the more she read, the more shocked she became."Jasmine used to be an assassin? She was saved by Nathan, but she actually went there to kill him? She even slept with Nathan back then?"It was almost impossible to imagine.Jane tapped the file and asked him, "Why didn't I see this before?"Zachary remained calm. "I didn't find so much information before. Think about it, Nathan couldn't even find her, and her organization is very powerful and secretive. It took me some time."It turned out, it was because Roy didn't want to stay in the Arctic and wanted to redeem himself. He happened to encounter someone fleeing to the Arctic.That was how he found the organization and traced the information.It was quite a coincidence.Jane, after hearing this, was a little skeptical."How come every coincidence works in your favor?"Zachary curved his lips into a smile, "

"What you see isn’t the real her."Westley wanted to stay with her a little longer, so he didn't show her the information he had gathered.Instead, he chose the most intriguing parts and waited for her to ask, then he would explain in detail."She originally wanted to kill Nathan?"Westley nodded. "My Jordy is getting smarter and smarter."Jordan felt like her brain was on fire.Westley patted her head and continued, "Back then, Nathan was still weak, and the Jackson family was still recovering. It was the best time to make a move. If Nathan had grown stronger, it would have been impossible to find another opportunity. But the person who hired Jasmine didn't expect that Jasmine wouldn't go through with it in the end."Jordan couldn't even swallow her cotton candy anymore. She quickly stood up and said, "I have to go home. Nathan is in danger!"Westley grabbed her. "She's not after Nathan's life this time."Jordan asked, "Then what does she want?""Between a man and woman, wha

It felt as if he had just dropped a bombshell, something as serious as Mars colliding with Earth.Westley gently stroked her hair, holding her hand, and then dropped another thunderous remark."You asked me to send someone over to check. I sent Nathan."Jordan could hardly believe her ears.As soon as she realized Nathan was with Jasmine now, she immediately stood up to leave.Westley stopped her. "Aren't you curious about Jasmine not losing her memory?"He knew exactly how to manipulate her.When Jordan heard this, she couldn't move her feet."They can solve their issues themselves. They're adults, they don't need anyone else involved. Sit down. Let me explain it to you."Jordan wasn't naive, she pulled her hand back and said, "You're just trying to get me to stay here with you, aren't you?"Westley raised both hands. "I'm wronged! Think carefully. Didn't you say it wasn't convenient to talk? That's why I asked you to come."‘Yeah, right.’Jordan, displeased, grabbed his h
