last update Last Updated: 2024-11-04 16:27:28
Jack Davis had walked into the mansion just in time to witness Ryan’s heartfelt apology and request.

However, the man clenched his hands into fists and his jaw tightened. Lora was his one and only daughter.

When Ryan had a chance to be with her, he didn’t cherish her. How dare he waltz into his house to apologise and ask for another chance like his past mistakes could easily be forgotten?

Jack’s biggest regret was losing his daughter when she was kidnapped by traffickers at a very young age.

He never got to see her go into first grade, or buy her gifts when she turned into a teenager. He never got to take her to the high school dance or even attend her graduation… after missing so much time with his daughter and regretting not being there to protect her or make her happy, he didn’t want her to face any more hardships.

Seeing the man who took his daughter’s love for granted beg for a chance, anger flared through Jack. He stepped forward and declared, “Over my dead body.”

    When Ryan popped the chilli pepper into his mouth and quickly chewed it, he didn’t feel anything at first but a faint tingle. However, a sudden explosion of heat tore through his senses, making him feel like he had dipped his face into a pot of boiling water. His eyes grew wider, turning red in an instant as they reacted to the heat and he struggled to keep his expression calm. He continued to chew the chilli, his mouth feeling like someone had lit a match and set his taste buds on fire. Jack Davis glanced at Ryan and asked, “Is it hot? Spit it out now… I know you can’t take it.” Ryan shook his head, determination etched on his face. He said through gritted teeth, “It’s not so bad. I can handle it… this is nothing compared to what Lora went through.”Jack arched an eyebrow but he kept quiet and let Ryan continue. He was waiting for the moment the young man would give up. However, Ryan continued to chew the chilli until it was done and down his throat, even as the heat in his mout

    Lora's stomach churned with worry as she took care of Ryan. He had gotten worse when she took him to the guest room… his skin turned pale, beads of sweat coated his forehead and he developed a fever. During that time, Lora placed a cool, damp washcloth on Ryan’s forehead and neck to help reduce his fever. For hours, he wasn’t responsive and worry crept into Lora. Why was Ryan looking so weak? His injuries were healing and the chilli shouldn’t have made him so sick. She furrowed her eyebrows, wondering if there was something wrong with him. Brushing her thoughts aside, Lora stayed by Ryan's side until later in the evening when colour returned to his face and he finally opened his eyes. “Are you ok?” Lora asked, her voice laced with concern. Ryan glanced at Lora and nodded, his voice hoarse, “I’m ok.”The chilli effect had gone and the medicine that Lora had given him had stopped the stomach cramps. “Why did you eat chilli when you know you can’t eat anything spicy? Do you have a d

    “Ryan Kingsley’s car entered the Davis mansion but it never came out until now,” Jason’s man reported on the phone. Jason clenched his hand around the phone, his eyes flashing with anger. He had been trying to call Lora since the previous day, however, his calls went unanswered. It was like she was trying to avoid him. Luckily he had placed someone to watch over her, otherwise, he wouldn’t have known she wasn’t picking up her calls because she was with Ryan Kingsley. “Keep me updated,” Jason replied through gritted teeth before cutting the call and throwing his phone on the couch. He hadn’t had time to spend with Lora since the kidnapping incident since she was always with Ryan, taking care of him. It was like he had already lost her to Ryan after he risked his life to save her… “No, I’m not going to lose you to Ryan, Lora. I can lose everything but not you,” Jason muttered to himself, a look of determination on his face. …Meanwhile, Ryan had booked the whole restaurant at the

    Lora’s eyes widened, taken aback by Jason’s bold words. How could he say that so easily in front of the kids?Sure enough, Ella looked between Lora and Jason before asking, “Is it true Mommy? Will we really have a stepfather? But I don’t want a stepfather! I want my real father!” Ryan clenched his jaw, seeing his daughter cry made his heartbreak. He picked her up from her seat and placed her on his lap before soothingly saying, “You’re not going to have a stepfather… I’m your one and only father.” He glared at Jason and questioned, “What is wrong with you? How can you say that in front of the kids?” “I’m just saying the inevitable… after all, Lora and I will get married in the future-”“Jay, a word?” Lora said in a low voice. Jason saw that Lora was angry. He smiled at her and replied, “Sure.” When they left the restaurant, Lora looked at Jason, anger flitting through her eyes. “How could you say that in front of the kids without discussing it with me first?”“I don’t think there’

    Lora furrowed her eyebrows, looking down at the man sleeping on the bed, flanked by the twins on either side. Hours earlier, she had agreed to her daughter’s request, her pleading eyes making it difficult for her to refuse her.Although Lora knew Ryan was exaggerating, the weariness in his eyes told her there was something she was missing. Why did he look so tired and worn out? And was it just in her mind or he had lost weight?Lora had noticed that Ryan’s skin had become pale after the accident. She didn't know if it was because he lost a lot of blood or if there was something wrong with him. Could his injuries be more serious than he let on?When they returned, Ryan played with the kids and listened to their stories. However, he immediately fell asleep after having dinner. It was strange because Ryan wasn't an early sleeper. The kids had asked if they could sleep with their father and seeing them look so comfortable with him warmed her heart. Lora's phone suddenly rang and she q

    “Ma’am, Mr Anderson really loves you… you’re already dating but he’s still sending you flowers. And these look different than the usual… they look expensive,” Hannah Collins, Lora’s assistant, remarked.Lora glanced at the flowers in the vase near her desk, her heart doing a little flip. She too had thought it was Jason who sent her the flowers. However, since the sender was daring enough to claim to be her husband, it could only be Ryan. “These are not from Jason. They are from Ryan,” Lora replied and Hannah’s eyes rounded. “Mr Kingsley sent you flowers? Are you two-?”“No, we are not. Don’t you have work to do, Hannah?” Lora asked, furrowing her eyebrows. “I do… but I just thought that maybe you and Mr Kingsley reconciled and that’s why he’s sending you flowers,” Hannah remarked. “No, we did not. Although we are friends now, I can’t be with him again. He was with Ivy after all,” Lora remarked, sadness creeping into her. Although she could see that Ryan had changed, she couldn’t

  • Her Return, His Regret   Chapter 91~ Which husband?

    Lora had been unable to work after receiving flowers from one Ryan Kingsley. It didn’t help that the fragrance of the roses kept spreading through her office, a reminder of Ryan’s odd actions. It was shocking. Ryan? Sending flowers? He wasn’t one to do that. As a handsome, rich man, Ryan wasn’t the type to grovel at anyone’s feet. He took what he wanted, when he wanted. So, Lora was caught off guard when he surprised her with red roses of premium quality. Could he have hit his head when he saved her last time? Lora was deep in her thoughts when she received a call from Aiden Davis. “Hello, kiddo. I’ll be leaving for a few weeks, wanna come out for lunch? My treat,” Aiden said on the phone. Lora’s eyes lit up. Perhaps her favorite uncle would help to keep her mind off a certain someone. She quickly got to her feet and left the office but she didn’t expect to run into Lewis Hendrix. The man looked like a dangerous thug. His eyes were cold and full of hatred for Lora as he glar

    “Neighbour?” Ryan arched an eyebrow as he looked between Aiden and his sister. “Since when?”“Um... he lives next to my apartment,” Diane replied, her face blushing when she recalled the incident when she thought Aiden had been stalking her. That was the most embarrassing moment of her life. "I didn't know you're now neighbours with my Uncle Aiden, Diane. Is he still a pervert?" Lora asked playfully, making Diane's blush deepen. Although Diane was embarrassed, deep down she thought. 'So, his name is Aiden? It's quite a nice name.' Aiden smirked when he saw Diane’s expression, however, he didn’t want to tease her in front of her brother, so he suggested, “How about we go into the restaurant? I’m starving.”They walked into the restaurant and found a table. After ordering food, Aiden glanced at Ryan and asked, “How far with the search for Ivy Williams?”Ryan creased his eyebrows. The mention of Ivy Williams always reminded him of how stupid he had been for so many years. If only he

    Lora was dressed in a black and white pencil dress that day, so it was easy for Ryan to have access to her core. When he slid his hand under her dress and up her thigh, Lora trembled as tingles coursed through her. She bit her lower lip and involuntarily clamped her legs shut, trapping Ryan’s naughty hand between her thighs. “Don’t hide from me,” Ryan said in a low, husky voice before slipping his hand out and carrying Lora bridal style. He placed her on a reclining leather couch and got down on his knees, settling between her legs. Lora blushed when Ryan slid his hands under her dress and began to take off her panties. As he did this, Ryan glanced up at Lora, smirking when he saw her blushing. “C-Can we turn off the lights?” Lora requested, her heart pounding hard in her chest. Touching her core was one thing but having Ryan’s face on it was another. She was so nervous. Ryan let out a low chuckle just as he slid down Lora’s panties completely. “I want to see all of you, baby

    “A movie date?” Lora asked when she looked at the theater in front of them. “Yes… it’s during the week and it’s not crowded, so we can watch a movie. I would have wanted to book the whole place but I thought you would love to have a full experience,” Ryan replied, smiling. Lora glanced at him and said, “Since when are you into movies? You used to say they bore you.”Ryan chuckled awkwardly and replied, “I’m still not into movies but for you, I can watch a thousand movies if it means it would make you happy.” Lora smiled faintly. She recalled how she used to arrange for movie date nights, however, Ryan wasn’t into that in the past. In fact, they never went on dates or hang out together. However, it was different this time. Ryan was making the effort and she appreciated it. “So, what are we watching?” Lora asked as they walked towards the counter to stand in line just like everyone else. Ryan glanced at the screen and said, “Well, I don’t know what you like. We can watch a romantic

    “What? Ryan told you to be ready to get eaten?” Bianca exclaimed and Lora covered her mouth with her palm, looking around to make sure no one had heard her. “Sshh, you don’t have to announce it to the whole world,” Lora replied, her cheeks flushing pink. It was lunchtime and Lora met her best friend, Bianca Jones, for lunch and told her about Ryan’s words. Bianca whistled and replied, “You’re so lucky, my friend.”“Why? Because I’m going on a date?” Lora asked, her eyebrows creasing. “No, silly,” Bianca rolled her eyes. “Do you know what he means by, be ready to get eaten?"When Lora shook her head, Bianca added, "It means he’s going to eat you down there.” Lora gasped, her eyes widening. An image flashed through her mind and her face flushed again. Looking at her friend, she asked, “What? Why would he do that?” “It’s part of lovemaking, my friend,” Bianca said. She leaned over and whispered, “We need to visit a spa before lunch hour ends to... you know… make sure it’s smooth and

    "Diane Kingsley? Is she Ryan Kingsley’s sister? Did she just call Miss Davis her sister-in-law?" Someone whispered. "I did hear of the scandal that Ryan was once married to Miss Davis. Have they made up?" "Does that mean the Kingsley group will be in alliance with the Davis & Co. Company? This is good for us!""Wait!" Craig yelled. "This isn't the matter we are here to discuss. Miss Davis ruined the company’s reputation and she has to go to prevent the VIP client from suing us.""Why would I sue my sister-in-law's company? Are you crazy, old man?" Diane said. She then turned to look at Lora before whispering, "Ryan told me you made up. Congrats! I'm so happy to see you two together again." Lora smiled and blushed. "I see he couldn't wait to tell the world, huh?" "He's so happy, you have no idea," Diane whispered before turning her gaze to the rest of the room. "I came here today, not to watch my sister-in-law get bullied, but to deal with the bastard who stole my customised design

    “I second that. Lewis Hendrix would lead the company better.”“There’s been one issue after another ever since Miss Davis took over the position. I think it’s sufficient to say that she’s failed to run the company.” “That’s right. We don’t have funds to use on lawsuits. Who’s going to fix this mess? Our reputation will go down the drain.” The shareholders kept airing their views after Craig’s statement. Seated on one of the chairs around the long table, Lewis had a victorious smirk on his face as he watched the scene unfold. It was exactly as he had planned. This time, not even Jack Davis would be able to stop his daughter from being fired. The company’s reputation was going to be destroyed once everything blew up and Lora would have no way out of this. Ruining the company's image was enough for the board members to fire Lora Davis without waiting for the chairman's decision. Secretly taking out his phone, Lewis sent out a message. When he received a response, he smirked before c

    “A trial period?” Freya Davis asked with a raised eyebrow. Ryan nodded and replied, “Yes, Ma’am. I know nothing I say right now will make you change your mind about me. So, I’ll show you that I’ll make your daughter the happiest woman in the world.”“And you only need thirty days to do that?” Freya questioned. “What if you’re just pretending in that thirty days?” “I can never pretend with Lora… I love her. I may have realised too late that she was very important to me, but I’ll make it up to her for the rest of her life,” Ryan proclaimed. Freya sighed, her brows creasing. She looked at Ryan and studied him intently before her gaze softened ever so slightly.“I see,” she remarked. “Since you’re offering thirty days to prove that you’re worthy of my daughter, I’ll give you a chance.”Ryan’s eyes lit up but before he could respond, Freya added, “But… If you fail to make Lora happy or if you hurt her again, I want you to leave her alone forever and never bother her again.”Ryan gulped,

    “I can’t wait to have you and our children home, baby. I hate having to drop you off,” Ryan said after they got out of the car when they arrived at the Davis mansion. He sighed and added, "Being a gentleman is hard." Ryan walked Lora to the patio of the mansion and coiled his arm around her waist, pulling her close.“I wish you stayed with me tonight,” he remarked in his sexy husky voice.Lora smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck, looking up at him.“I know but... I have to tell Mom and Dad about our reconciliation first. Dad may have said that he won’t interfere but Mom won’t be so easy to convince,” she replied.Ryan sighed again before saying, “I know. I noticed her reluctance to accept me last time. But I’ll do my best to win her over... if it means I have to eat a hundred chillies-““Don’t even think about it, Mr Kingsley!” Lora scolded. “Try another way... not one that will put you in harm’s way.”“Are you worried about me?” Ryan asked, arching an eyebrow. “Of course I

    Although Lora and Ryan had been married and living together for three years in the past, their love-making wasn’t that great due to the lack of love and affection in their relationship. So, Lora didn’t really have the chance to explore her sexuality. She was reserved and inexperienced. However, as Ryan used his fingers to pleasure her down there, she felt like her veins were about to explode from the intense electric currents sizzling through her. The feeling was foreign, yet it felt so good. All she could do was scream in ecstasy. Lost in the throes of pleasure, she forgot about her shyness and rode Ryan’s fingers like a pro… taking what she wanted like the Queen she was. It was like her body had a mind of its own, setting the pace for what felt good for her and Ryan read her so well, moving in sync with her body. Lora had no idea one could seek pleasure like this. Happy tingles coursed through her and she didn’t know where they began or where they ended. Every part of her felt

    “Why do you keep looking at me like that?” Lora shyly asked, her face flushing pink. Ryan smirked before saying, “I just can’t believe how beautiful you are.” They were seated on a two-seater couch after their heartwarming reconciliation. Lora rolled her eyes. She remarked, “You don’t have to sweet talk me anymore… I’ve already agreed to give you a chance.” Ryan frowned. He wrapped his arm around Lora’s waist before pulling her close so that her back was resting on his chest. “Hey… your wounds-”“Sshh, the wounds are healing, I’m fine,” Ryan said. He wrapped his arms around Lora’s waist before placing his chin on her shoulder. “Just because I won the election, does it mean I have to stop campaigning?” “What?” Lora laughed. The sound of her laughter tickled Ryan’s heart. How long had he longed to hear that sound in his house?Lora pulled back to look at him over her shoulder and asked, “What kind of comparison is that?”“The most logical one,” Ryan replied, smirking. “I was campa
