Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 1331
"You're really not letting me in?"When Westley said this, he stared at her intently, his tone slightly rising at the end. It was obvious that he didn’t mean just entering the house.There was a deeper meaning.Jordan pulled her hand back and kicked him."Get lost, you pervert."Westley glanced at the shoe print on his leg and laughed. "What did I say? Who's the one with a dirty mind here?"Jordan was indeed at a loss for words. She was angry because he had seen right through her.She was frustrated that her emotions were always so easy to read.Especially in front of someone as sharp as Westley—there was nowhere to hide.That made her even angrier."Let me tell you, even if I agreed to your proposal, I can still take it back."As she spoke, she reached for the ring, intending to take it off.Westley caught her hand and pressed her fingerprint against the scanner.When the door opened, Jordan was stunned."Westley!""Yes?" Westley responded, pulling her into the house.

Such a wonderful thing as a proposal happened today.Tonight should at least count as a wedding night, right?The assistant hadn't expected them to argue. He thought Westley might have gone out to buy something to use later."I'll take you to the supermarket.""Head back to the hotel."Westley gave an order in a cold voice, then opened the door and got into the back seat of the car.The assistant was completely confused but still drove toward the hotel.He had never seen a couple argue right after getting engaged.But as an assistant, it wasn't his place to ask questions.Jordan couldn't sleep.By the time she got up, she had two dark circles around her eyes.She was about to put on makeup when she thought about their fight last night.Would their remarriage even happen today?If not, there was no point in dressing up.She hesitated in front of the mirror for a long time before finally putting on makeup to cover the dark circles.But she still didn't look happy.After c

Leanne looked at the man sitting across from her.His expression was blank, exuding coldness, and he seemed obviously angry.She glanced at the caller ID, answered the call, and turned on the loudspeaker.Then, sensibly, she pushed the phone toward her cousin."Hey, Jordan. Congratulations! After all the twists and turns, we're still ended up being a family."Jordan thanked her for the blessing and immediately asked if she knew where Westley was.Leanne glanced across the table and let out a knowing chuckle."Jordan, Westley just proposed to you. Shouldn't you two be together?"Jordan fidgeted with her fingers and didn’t know what to say for a long time.She only asked if Leanne could get in touch with Westley.Leanne turned to ask for his opinion.Westley didn't react.She asked Jordan, "Jordan, is it urgent? If I have to find my cousin, it might take a while."Jordan checked the time."If you can reach him, tell him I'm waiting for him at the entrance of the Civil Affai

Jordan grabbed onto him and kicked a small rock at her feet.Westley didn't rush her and simply waited where he was.After a long silence, Jordan lifted her head, her gaze firm, and commanded, "I want to remarry you right now. You have to come with me to the Civil Affairs Bureau!"Westley looked at her indifferently and said nothing.Jordan pulled him toward the Civil Affairs Bureau.The man allowed her to drag him forward without resistance."Hello, we'd like to remarry."The staff member looked up and, upon seeing Westley, immediately stood up.In Nelana, Westley was somewhat well-known—except he was supposed to be dead.Now, seeing him standing there, fear overtook shock."Well..."Jordan had completely forgotten about that. She quickly explained, "He just happen to look like who you’re thinking and have the same name, but he's not the same person..."Westley let out a low chuckle.His assistant, sensing the situation, quickly went to speak with the senior executives.

Westley took a bite but made no comment.Jordan saw his silence and tried it herself.The toast wasn’t really toasted.Jordan scratched her face awkwardly. "Um... how about I just order from the Summit?"She had just picked up her phone when Westley pressed it down."Wait."The man went into the kitchen and soon returned, taking off the apron she was wearing.Not long after, he had already finished cooking a few dishes.Since the toasts weren’t fully toasted, he toasted them again.Jordan looked at the beautifully plated and fragrant dishes and gave him a big thumbs-up, praising him without hesitation."Westley, you're amazing."Westley cast her a glance and replied coolly, "Not calling me an old fox anymore?"Jordan protested weakly, "No bringing up old grudges.""Alright."Westley said nothing more and continued eating in silence.Jordan didn't like this atmosphere.But she knew she was the one who had created it.She picked up some food for him. "Eat more, you’ve wo

Jane gave a thumbs-up. "That was fast.""But didn't you just come to tell me that he was mad?"Jordan replied, "I was the one overthinking. Today, I found him and just dragged him straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau to remarry. I didn't even give him a chance to speak. That means I took control of the situation. I'm very happy. He didn't seem that angry either. I'll apologize to him later."Jane teased with a meaningful tone, "How do you plan to apologize? You're a legally married couple now."Jordan was just thinking about pouring him a glass of water and sincerely apologizing.After all, their argument last night had been because of that issue.She wondered if bringing it up again today would just make things worse.So, she decided to do something else instead."Well..."Jane saw her hesitation and didn't push further. "Don't overthink it. Just go with the flow. Handle it however you want. I'm hanging up.""Okay."Jordan ended the video call and looked at herself in the m

Westley already knew what she meant, but he still asked, "Since when did you need me to sleep with you in order to fall asleep?"Jordan clutched his collar, lowered her head, and stayed silent for a long time.Westley played dirty—he bounced his leg slightly.Jordan quickly grabbed onto him to steady herself."What does your silence mean?"Seeing the mischief in his eyes, Jordan glared at him. "I order you to go to bed with me."Westley finally let a smile show. "Alright, I'll listen to you."Jordan curled up under the blanket, listening to the sound of running water from the bathroom.She had considered asking Jane for advice, but in the end, she felt that even with someone as close as her sister, this wasn't exactly an easy topic to bring up.Besides, she had already said those words out loud. Westley was smart—how could he not understand?Forget it. She wouldn't ask anyone. She would just wait for him.Westley took a long time in the shower.Normally, if he didn't take a

Jordan had no idea what to do.She looked at Westley, who didn't seem to have any intention of taking the lead.Thinking that he might still be holding a grudge over what she had said before, she hesitated for a few seconds before leaning in, slowly pressing her lips against his.She wasn't very skilled at kissing, so she tried to imitate the way he used to kiss her, tentatively extending her tongue.Westley's eyes darkened instantly. He tightened his grip on her waist, flipped her over, and took control.Everything happened so suddenly that Jordan wasn't prepared. She let out a small gasp, but it was quickly swallowed by his dominant kiss.However, she hadn't expected that this would be so painful."No..."Westley clenched his teeth. He had done everything to prepare, but...Now, stopping in this situation was even worse than pausing halfway before.Yet, seeing her furrowed brows, the tears in her eyes, and how much she was struggling to endure it, he forced himself to stop.

Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 1454
The man who had just sat down was Caleb's younger cousin, Blake Hilton.He was a police officer.His parents had died in the line of duty. The Hilton family had originally not wanted him to follow the same path.But he had chosen it anyway, without hesitation.Whether it was because of his profession, or the fact that his own parents were no longer around — even though the Hilton family was tightly bonded — he remained quiet and reserved.Whitney wasn't much of a talker either, so she had barely exchanged more than a few words with him.Besides, every time the family had a meal, he was always the last to arrive.She had long since gotten used to it, never questioning why.Lately, though, she had heard rumors that he had fallen for someone.She had noticed the slap mark on his face at the last family gathering. And this time, his aunt had used the word "again".Blake said nothing.The others understood without needing to say a word, but Dianne had always been the type to spea

She really hadn't expected that someone could ask their parents for pocket money so brazenly.She had never seen it before.It truly opened her eyes."Are you okay?" Janet quickly patted her back to help her catch her breath, while Caleb pulled out a tissue and gently wiped her mouth.Whitney, embarrassed, said, "I'm sorry, I...""What are you apologizing for?" Caleb casually wiped the table as well. "It's nothing. Everyone chokes on water now and then.""Exactly," Millie chimed in cheerfully. "I choked on water just yesterday.""Alright, enough talking. Bring out the dishes and let's eat!" Lia called out, setting a plate of food in front of Whitney. "Try this and see if you like it."Whitney had always felt that, to the Hilton family, she was an outsider.So every time she came over, she couldn't help but feel nervous and constrained.Especially facing so many elders, she was neither sweet-tongued nor good at small talk.Every time, it was Caleb who managed all the social i

Whitney quickly stood up and called out, "Aunt Stephanie."Stephanie curved her lips into a smile and nodded."Stephanie!" Lia said as she came out of the kitchen. "How come you’re here by yourself? Where's Steve?"Steve Hilton was Lia’s eldest son and also Stephanie’s husband."He had something to take care of and will be a bit late. We can start eating first."She looked at Millie and asked, "Millie, what were you saying about me?"Millie immediately tattled, saying that Gilbert had bullied her.Stephanie didn't even ask for details, she just swung her fist and punched Gilbert.She had trained before, so the punch was solid and strong.But Gilbert had also trained, and he had grown up. Otherwise, if it had been when he was little, he wouldn't have been able to take it.This kind of situation had often happened when Millie was young — as long as the little girl cried and complained, he would get beaten by his own mother."I don’t think she’s your daughter-in-law. I think sh

Whitney wanted to thank Georgina through Millie, but Georgina said there was no need.However, simply having a meal together was acceptable.Up to now, they had only eaten together once.She wasn't very good at interpersonal interactions.On top of that, she had been busy with work early on and had gone on a business trip for a while, and almost all of her remaining time had been taken up by Caleb."Whitney, if you have time, I'd like to ask Georgina out for a meal. Sorry to trouble you.""No problem. Georgina told me that she’s missed you as well."Whitney didn't know what to say, so she could only force a smile.Millie already knew her personality and didn't mind, continuing to talk about amusing things on her own.She even asked how the wedding had gone for her this time.Whitney said, "It was great. I got along really well with Mrs. Howard and her two sisters. They're all wonderful people. I'll introduce them to you sometime.""That's great. I like making friends. The mo

The guard at the door saluted and let Caleb's car pass.As soon as Whitney got out of the car, she saw the Lia waiting at the door."Whitney!"She paused for a moment before being pulled inside.When she had first married Caleb, the Hilton family hadn't been this warm toward her.Caleb rarely took her back to the Hilton family's residence, except for the mandatory monthly family dinners.Sometimes, if a family member hosted a dinner that couldn't be refused, they would eat together.The Hilton family had been polite to her, and it was quite decent.But this time, she felt something was different.She didn't know what to say, so she gave a stiff smile.Caleb followed behind at a slow pace, breaking the awkwardness. "It's so cold outside. Why not wait inside?""The air inside’s quite dry due to the heating," said Lia. "I felt short of breath, so I came out to get some fresh air."Caleb asked in concern, "Did you do your regular checkup?"Lia replied, "I've done it. Stop nagg

Whitney was very surprised.She had eaten at the Hilton family's residence before.But because she wasn't picky about food, she just ate whatever was available.Caleb’s grandmother, Lia Hilton, had asked her if there was anything she particularly liked.She shook her head and said she could eat anything.What Lia prepared wasn't something she particularly liked, it was just a local specialty from her hometown.Her hometown was located in the mountains and it wasn’t very inconvenient to come in and out of there, so they had to make do with what they had.Thus, local plants became a speciality.But she never had the luxury of eating such high-quality food, even chewing on the food was a treat.After she escaped, she had made it herself, but thought it was just so-so.For a moment, she didn't know what to say.She wasn't adept at handling other people's kindness.Moreover, she and Caleb hadn't married for love.Sometimes she thought, it would be better not to get too close to

It even gave her the goosebumps.She didn't dare lift her head, picking up her plate to go wash it in the kitchen.She could already imagine that Caleb was definitely laughing at her right now.Caleb grabbed her wrist and pressed her down on a chair."I'll do it. You go take your post-meal medicine."Whitney felt uneasy. "You cooked, so let me do it.""No need. Go take your medicine. Since you went to the doctor, you should follow the advice."Whitney had no choice but to go take the medicine.And right now, she did indeed want to put some distance between herself and Caleb.After taking the medicine, she had nothing else to do, so she took out her phone and checked the work group.Then she saw a message from Tanner."I forgot to tell you, although the post-meal medicine that treats your issue, it has some side effects."This message had been sent when she was boarding the plane. At the time, she was apologizing to Caleb.Later, Caleb asked her to sleep for a while.She o

The evening glow had not yet appeared on the horizon.But her stomach had already reached the time to eat.Caleb rolled up his sleeves, took ingredients out of the fridge, and walked into the kitchen, reminding her to take her pre-meal medicine."The tea maker is on, there's hot water."Whitney took the medicine, then returned to the kitchen to help wash the vegetables.She knew how to cook, after all, making something herself was cheaper than eating out.And in the mountains, as a girl, she had to know how to cook.However, since coming to the Hilton family, they had a dedicated cook, and she had never been allowed into the kitchen.Now, seeing that it was just her and Caleb, she wondered if Caleb had ever even entered the kitchen, so she asked if he wanted anything and she could cook for him."After you finish washing the vegetables, just put them here."Whitney started boiling water, but Caleb pushed her out of the kitchen. "Wait outside."Whitney wanted to speak but didn

"You claimed to be fair, only trusted your own investigation results, not just believing hearsay, didn't you?"What he said was actually in line with what she had hoped for.It was also a beautiful wish of hers.But in this world, many things were not absolutely fair.Her job was to serve the people and provide justice to the best of her ability.However, she would never trust what anyone else said, she needed to look into things herself, and only after solid evidence would she act.Whitney could tell that he wasn't complimenting her, but mocking her, which made her feel somewhat ashamed."As for your situation, I've been biased from the start."Mainly because, she didn't plan on getting involved with Caleb.She didn't need to stand up for him.She had no interest in what kind of person Caleb was.So, she never thought that those rumors about him would become the trigger for him being angry with her."Sorry."Caleb seemed to have realized what she was thinking earlier.He
