All Chapters of Her Return, His Regret: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

“Are you sure about this, sweetheart?” Freya Davis asked Lora. “You don’t need to be forced to introduce the twins to him… the Davis family is very much capable of raising them and they’ve been doing fine without the help of the Kingsleys.” Lora smiled, warmth spreading through her heart at her mother’s words. She glanced at the twins who were waiting in the living room and sighed. “I know, Mom. But… Ryan is their father. I think it’s only right that they get to know who their father is,” Lora replied. “Ryan also deserves to be part of their lives if he wants to.” Since Ivy Williams was now a fugitive of the law, Lora and Ryan agreed that he would meet the children from the Davis mansion. Ryan had deployed a full security team to surround the Davis mansion. No one was allowed to go in and out without clearance. So, at the moment, it was the safest place for Lora and the children to be. Freya frowned, knowing the courage it took for Lora to do this. However, she wasn’t for the idea.

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.” The room f

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

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’

“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
