Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 224
Frank threw out these words and glanced at me. "What are you standing there for? Let's go.""Okay."He's tall with long legs, taking big strides. I struggled to keep up with him because my dress hem was hindering me.Just as we were about to reach the hotel door, a strong grip seized my wrist from behind, "Charlotte!"I stopped in my tracks and looked at Ryan, his expression dark. I composed myself and asked calmly, "What's wrong, Mr. Frost, is there something?"Frank also turned back, his eyebrows slightly raised.There was a deep melancholy in Ryan's eyes. "Are you, Mr. Smith, also interested in interfering in marital affairs?""I have no interest in that." Frank smiled. "Just wanted to remind Mr. Frost that bigamy is illegal."Ignoring Frank's remark, Ryan firmly dragged me along without a word.Frank furrowed his brows. "I'll be waiting in the car for you."With that said, Ryan's grip on my wrist tightened even more!His pace quickened even more.He dragged me all the w

Looking at him in that state, a complicated emotion welled up within me.Suddenly, I understood the meaning behind the saying, "Late passion is worth nothing."I pursed my lips. "It’s up to you if you believe it or not."With that, without casting another glance at him, I walked away. I wasn't sure if it was because I didn't want to look or didn't dare to.Whatever he thought, it didn't matter that much to me anymore.I just wanted to live my own life well.That was all.Unfortunately... I forgot, many things were simply beyond my control.Just as I reached the hotel lobby, I ran straight into Simone.It was strange. I didn't have much goodwill toward Bethany, but I felt no aversion toward her parents. In fact, I found them quite friendly.Our eyes met, and I smiled at Simone. However, her face remained expressionless as she scrutinized me again, even more nakedly than she had at the banquet hall.I smiled politely. "Aunt Simone, I'll be leaving now."Simone appeared gentle

It wasn’t sadness, just envy.If my mom were still here, she would definitely protect me.‘Mom. Mom... I misses you so much."What are you crying for?"Suddenly, from behind a large pillar in the car park, Frank walked out and frowned. "Weren't you determined to divorce him? After chatting with him for a bit, you can't bear to leave again?"I hastily wiped away my tears and sniffed. "No. It's just that the wind outside was too strong and I got sand in my eyes.""Oh."Seeing through my excuse in one glance, he said sarcastically, "With that kind of crying, you really can't tolerate any sand in your eyes."‘What a cliché.’Despite my terrible mood, his cliché still helped. "Weren't you waiting for me in the car? Why are you here?""The car was stuffy."He tossed off these three words and swaggered ahead.Once inside the car, warmth enveloped me instantly, and I belatedly realized that I had been freezing from head to toe.I was freezing.The silver-gray Pagani roared to lif

I wasn't surprised that he asked that. I nodded. "Yeah."Frank glanced at the cake in my hand, then lifted his gaze to me, his eyes carrying a scrutinizing look, "Did you... grow up in Jelaston?"I hesitated for a moment, then realized he was still on the path of finding his ex-fiancee. Anyone with similarities might pique his curiosity.I admired his perseverance over the years and thus answered patiently and carefully, "No, I grew up in Nesax. It's quite far from both Jelaston and Jeswood.""Is that so," he murmured almost imperceptibly, his brown eyes dimming slightly.Yet his gaze remained fixed on me, as if he wished to see another person through me.I chuckled lightly. "The Shaw family found a replacement daughter, and now you're looking for a replacement fiancee?"I had to admit that the daughter of the Shaw family was really unlucky.But people would move on, and it had been so many years. It was normal.After hearing this, Frank's lips curved into a smile, but there w

‘Hmm... I hope to successfully run the Charlotte Jewelry. I hope for health and safety for myself and those around me.’I opened my eyes and blew out the candles.Jane checked the time and smiled. "That was close! Luckily we made our wishes before dawn.""Childish, aren't we?" I smiled, feeling warm inside. Only those who care about you would bother about such a difference of one or two minutes.I looked at the food on the table and took a bit. "Did you make this yourself?""Not tasty?""It's beyond not tasty, it's on another level of bad."‘Horrible. Way too horrible’"Darn, what kind of pig feed did I make... no, even pigs would jump off a building after eating this."She leaned over, took a bite, and promptly spat it out. She was then about to throw it away.I stopped her and took another bite. "Wasting food is shameful, especially when it's something you made yourself. Did you burn yourself?"She was about to shake her head when my phone rang. The caller ID could be seen

I thought of the injuries on Aunt Laura's body and said coldly, "We won't be family soon.""What do you mean?" His eyes flashed with a sharp light, then landed on the lawyer beside me. "Who is this? Why did you bring him here?""He's Mr. White, one of the top divorce lawyers in Jelaston," I introduced calmly. "This marriage is over whether you like it or not."Bob couldn't keep up the act anymore. Enraged, he jumped up to hit me, but the bodyguards restrained him!His face flushed with anger as he shouted, "Charlotte, you're utterly ungrateful! Now that you've married into an affluent family, you dare treat me like this? Forcing me to divorce your aunt?""Whether I'm ungrateful or not, Aunt Laura will know." To me, the only one who had truly shown me kindness was Aunt Laura. He had nothing to do with me.Bob gritted his teeth and cursed, "Fine! We can divorce! But I want to split the assets evenly!"I glanced at him. "What assets do you two have left to split? Even if there are,
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 230
Upon hearing this, my tense nerves gradually relaxed.Aunt Laura was right.If it's not biological, who could do such a thing?I helped Aunt Laura lie down on the bed, bent over to tuck her in. "How have you been feeling these days? Are you getting better?""Much better. The doctor said after another round of chemotherapy, I can focus on recuperating." "That's good."As I straightened up, Aunt Laura grabbed the silver pendant that had slipped out of my collar, carefully placed it back, and said, "Keep this silver pendant close to you. Don't let others see it."I was slightly taken aback. "Why?"Why would a piece of jewelry seem so secretive?Aunt Laura's eyes flashed as she explained, "It's... very valuable. I'm afraid it might attract ill-intentioned people.""Alright, I understand."The color of this silver pendant was even more elusive than the two jade ornaments grandpa had prepared for the children.I could understand Aunt's concern.I called Mr. White in and introdu

In winter, days were short and nights were long. By around six o'clock in the evening, it was completely dark. I arrived at the coffee shop just before half-past six.But Bob was already there.I walked towards him and got straight to the point. "What did you mean by what you said at the hospital today?"Bob lifted his chin slightly. "Have a seat.""You asked me to come, and here I am. Don't beat around the bush anymore." I sat down as he suggested.The previous customer must have sprayed a lot of perfume—I could smell it the moment I sat down, wrinkling my nose involuntarily.Bob caught my attention with his next words. "Surely you don't actually believe you're not your parents' biological child?""Don't talk nonsense. I just want to know what you meant at the hospital."If it was just a slip of the tongue out of anger, I did have my doubts. And if that was the case, he wouldn't have insisted on meeting me.Bob nervously shook his leg. "It was just something said in the heat

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
