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

"I have never sided with Westley. I have always stood by your side."Jane said, "Not trying anything is the same as supporting."Zachary suddenly remembered Westley's indifference to Jordan's life, watching coldly from the sidelines.It was indeed more hurtful than not caring or not knowing."You have a cousin..."He whispered a few words, "The paternity test on your side has come out, so he's gone to find Jordan.""I think Westley should have a good talk with him."Jane wasn't so optimistic. "If he doesn't even care about my biological sister, how could he be afraid of a cousin?""It's different," Zachary said. "Just wait and see.""But Jordan has already taken a flight back, right?"Jane suddenly noticed a flaw. "Where would the cousin find Jordan?""Anything could happen during such a long flight."Jane checked the time. Eight hours had already passed since Jordan had sent her the boarding message.It was nearly dawn here, while it should still be night where Jordan was

Westley's expression darkened a little. "You go ahead and continue the shoot. I'll leave now."After saying that, he really left.But Jordan didn't feel much relief.In the end, she still expressed her apology and returned to the country with Ross.Jasmine remained silent.The silence made Jordan ask first, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"Jasmine shook her head.She had simply connected the events that had happened recently and the conversation between Jordan and Westley, and a complete picture emerged in her mind.So it turned out that Westley had done even worse things. No wonder Jordan just wanted to stay away from him, not even wanting to see him, even for just a moment."Ms. Hickey, you've worked hard."Jordan was stunned by her sudden hug.Her words were quite amusing."What's making you feel sentimental all of a sudden?"Jasmine didn't want to mention Westley and make Jordan unhappy.She shook her head and said, "Nothing. I was just thinking, I've summari

"I wish I could turn back time, go back, and wake up the version of myself who would like you! I only liked you. Is that such a heinous thing? Why do I have to suffer so much for it? We're already divorced, yet it's still never-ending. Do you have to force me to die before you'll let me go?"Jordan was crying so hard she could barely catch her breath. Westley looked at her with pain in his eyes and raised his hand, wanting to wipe away her tears.But he was suddenly shoved hard by Ross.He wasn't prepared and staggered back several steps.After being steadied by the Jax, he looked over.There was a trace of anger in his expression.But when his gaze fell on Ross, he was clearly taken aback.Ross was actually more anxious than him, frantically pulling out tissues to give to Jordan."Don't cry, Ms. Hickey. If you keep this up, Mrs. Collins will punish me."He didn't want to go to the Arctic anymore."I'll help you leave. Don't cry, it's fine. Mr. Howard won't take you. Don't be

Actually, Jane didn't need to say anything, Jordan wouldn't believe that Westley was sick either."I know, Jane, I'll head back right away."Jane couldn't be at ease and had already sent someone."Ross will help you leave. I'll send you his photo.""Alright, don't worry, Jane. I'll be fine."Jane was still uneasy. "Get back as soon as possible. Send me the flight details, and I'll meet you at the airport."Jordan didn't argue with her now, she was pregnant after all."Okay, Jane. I understand."After hanging up the phone, Jordan grabbed Jasmine's hand and walked.But she was stopped by Westley once again."Jordy, why won't you talk to me?"Jordan ignored him and kept walking forward.Westley grabbed her other hand."Jordy, what did I do wrong? Can you tell me? Should I go buy you some snacks now? Don't be angry."Jordan had tolerated enough from Westley.He just didn't love her, so she wanted to end this marriage, which never should have happened, in a dignified way.Hi

"You're pregnant now, so take good care of yourself, and we'll talk after you have the baby. During this period, I promise I won't let Jordy be harmed. How does that sound?"Jane responded better to soft persuasion than hard.It seemed like everyone knew about this.However, based on these words from Leanne, she seemed to have caught a very important piece of information.She glanced outside, looking at Zachary.She remained silent for a few seconds before speaking."Leanne, do you really consider me a friend?""Of course.""Then let me ask you this. Is Westley really sick?"There was a brief pause. Jane already had a sense of what was going on.And Zachary also heard this. His gaze met Jane's at that moment.It was calm but carried the potential for a storm.She said to Leanne, "Leanne, I'm tired. We'll talk another time."Leanne opened her mouth, but Jane interrupted. "Zachary, I'm tired."Zachary asked Leanne to leave and immediately got into the car, instructing the d

But they still hadn't figured out who their parents were.In this case, as Jordan's sister, she had the right to demand an explanation from them.Westley had kidnapped someone, which was definitely wrong."I won't speak for my son. If he's wrong, he's wrong. Jordy was like my own daughter, and when she's sad, I'm heartbroken too." Miranda sighed. "But we've already advised him. He's an adult, and we can't just lock him in the house. There are many things that need him to manage and handle for the Howard family."When it came to her own son, she could speak nicely, but the balance in her heart was still tilted.Jane didn't argue about this."If you, as parents, can't control your son and allow him to harm someone else's precious child, I don't mind sending him to prison. If it makes it to the trending news, don't blame me for embarrassing the Howard family."The three members of the Howard family simultaneously looked at Zachary.They saw him peeling an orange, cleaning off the

It was Lewis who had taken her to her room."Sorry, Ms. Hickey, the evening was lively, and Jasmine also had a couple of drinks."He emphasized, "She only had two drinks to join in the fun. We didn't force her to drink, and let her throw up."Jordan helped Jasmine to the bed and thanked Lewis.Lewis hurriedly said, "There’s no need. It's what I should do. Jasmine went out with us, so we had to ensure her safety.""Please rest now."Jordan nodded, thanked him again, and closed the door to her room.She asked Jasmine, "Can you wash up by yourself?""Yes, I can," Jasmine replied as she walked into the bathroom. "Ms. Hickey, I didn't drink too much.""I'm still very clear-headed."Jordan said, "Girls should always protect themselves when they're out. If you can avoid drinking, it's better not to drink.""Today I was just happy to meet my idol. I don't usually drink much.""I understand."After Jordan finished her work and had washed up, she climbed into bed and started looking

"I'll be honest with you, but don't get angry."As soon as Jane heard this, she understood.She proposed a hypothesis. "If he were diagnosed with a mental illness, could he be considered legally incompetent?"Zachary placed some food on her plate and said in a negotiating tone, "Can we... just let them handle it themselves?"Jane refused to eat the food. "Westley has already committed a crime. Are you suggesting that I let my own sister suffer harm and let her handle the issue with a criminal?""That's not what I meant...""You're still siding with Westley. Well, of course, she's not your biological sister, so how could you possibly care?"Zachary realized that the more he spoke, the worse it got.He had never intended to interfere in Westley's affairs.Who could have predicted that Jordan would turn out to be Jane's biological sister?Or that he would end up marrying Jane?"We promised to be honest with each other."Zachary sighed and said, "To tell you the truth, Westley

Ameca was huge.How could they run into each other like this?Jane asked again, "How many days will you be staying?"She had only received a message from Jordan saying she had landed safely for an overseas shoot.Other than that, Jordan hadn't mentioned much, and Jane hadn't asked.After all, it was her personal job—there was no need to interfere too much.But thinking about it now, she should've asked more questions.Jordan replied, "Three days. Today's shoot is almost over, so there are two more days left.""Alright, let me know when you're coming back. I'll pick you up.""No need to trouble yourself. I won't get lost. Just take care of yourself, rest well, and don't worry about me. I can take care of myself."Jane trusted Jordan's ability to manage her own life.Even before they had reunited as sisters, she had looked into Jordan's background and knew how she had made her way through life.But she didn't understand Westley, nor could she control him.He was a dangerous
