Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 257
So, Ryan's thoughts were the same as those of the Shaw family.To him, I was merely a burden holding him back.He must have had grievances for a long time.Otherwise, such heart-wrenching words wouldn't have come so easily.A bitter smile tugged at my lips.I should never have hoped he would save me.Zack clapped his hands. "As expected of Mr. Frost. Very decisive!""Ryan..."Bethany shrank back in Ryan's embrace. "My legs hurt so much. It seems I was injured just now.""Mm." Ryan responded with a single syllable and began to walk away.Zack stopped him. "Mr. Frost, what about Ms. Wilson...?""Do as you please!" Ryan continued walking, casually to the question.It seemed that what happened to me was completely irrelevant to him.His mind and gaze were entirely on Bethany's injury.His tall, upright figure soon vanished from my view.Outside, the sound of tires on the ground resumed, and within seconds, everything was calm again.I squinted, staring at the flickering inc

Zack's previous arrogance was completely gone as he repeatedly assured Frank.Frank smiled faintly, "I don't care about the Shaw or Lawson families. If you mess with her again, I won't mind sending you down there to keep your brother company."Zack immediately fell to his knees. "I'm sorry, Frank. Rest assured, I'll remember for the rest of my life that I've come this far because of you. From now on, I'll call you 'Dad' and Ms. Wilson 'Mom'!"I had initially been confused about why Zack dared to negotiate with Ryan but was so afraid of Frank. Now, I understood.The Frost Group was all above board, with no involvement in grey areas.But the Smith family clearly operated in both legal and illegal worlds."You’re not my fucking son!" Frank cursed. "Get your people out of here, now.""Yes, sir!"Zack quickly scrambled to his feet, calling his people to leave. Before he went, he clasped his hands in front of me and whispered urgently, "Ms. Wilson, I genuinely intended to let you go.

Hearing this, I fell silent.It wasn't until the car was speeding down the dark road again that I turned to Frank."How did you find this place?"Frank unlocked his phone and tossed it to me. "Your husband sent me the address."I glanced at the message from an unknown number. It might not be Ryan.Or rather, I didn't dare believe it was Ryan.Frank seemed to sense my doubt. Casually steering the car, he explained, "The Shaw family must have promised Zack some benefits to reach an agreement. Bethany only kidnapped you to go after Ryan, so this address would be known only to a few.""Zack's men have no connection to you and wouldn't know I knew you. They couldn't have sent me to rescue you.""So, the message must have come from Ryan."This was the first time he had been so patient and elaborate with me.I squeezed my hands together. "Got it, thanks."It was the usual pretense.Sending a message to Frank while Ryan was still shooting at me.At a red-light intersection, Fran

Now we just needed the investment from the RF Group to officially rent that office space.Jack seemed to have heard about the Shaw family's interference with renting office space in Jelaston, and looked surprised, "You managed to rent an office?""Yes." I nodded. "Apparently the property owner is abroad. They probably don't fear the Shaw family much, given how far they are.""That's good." Jack nodded and began to carefully disinfect and dress my wounds, his voice tight with concern. "Does it hurt a lot?""Not too bad."I endured the sharp pain and kept reminding myself that from now on, I must not be soft-hearted towards anyone.This world always favored the strong and oppresses the weak. It would never repay kindness with kindness.The next morning, Jane arrived at my house early.She pushed the door open and, seeing that I was already up, she was a bit surprised. "Aren't you injured? Why aren't you still sleeping?"I put down the fashion magazine I was holding. "Did Jack te

Jane was rarely so serious, and I felt an indescribable unease rising within me.It was as if something was about to be destroyed.I stared at Jane, biting my lip, "I'm prepared. Go ahead and tell me.""Actually..." Jane struggled to speak. She bit her lip before finally saying, "The person who took you to the school infirmary and the one who brought you food in college wasn't Ryan!"‘Wasn’t Ryan?’ My mind buzzed, and I felt a fleeting blankness, stunned.It took me a while to come to my senses, a heavy weight pressing on my chest, making my voice tremble. "Really?"Deep down, I knew Jane was telling me the truth.Jane knew how important this was to me. If she wasn't completely certain, she wouldn't have told me like this.But...What did all the affection I had for these years mean?Jane nodded. "Yes.""Then... the person who really helped me..." I took a deep breath, trying to stay calm as I spoke, "Was Jack, right?"Jane was stunned. "How did you know?""No wonder..."

Jane ran barefoot to open the door. When she saw who it was, she was taken aback. "Jack, you... came to see Charlotte?""Yes."Jack smiled gently, stepped inside, and while changing into slippers, glanced at me. "How are you feeling today? Still in pain?"Although it had only been one night, seeing him again now made me feel a bit embarrassed.The person who helped me was him.Noticing my dazed expression, Jack came over and chuckled, "What are you thinking about?""Nothing."I gathered my thoughts, hurriedly shook my head, and answered his earlier question, "I'm feeling much better, not as painful as yesterday.""That's good."He placed a bag on the coffee table, "I got some scar cream for you from the hospital. Your injuries are quite serious. Although they're not on your face, they still can't be neglected. You’ll still need to prevent yourself from getting scarred."Perhaps knowing the situation, I felt a bit guilty and very grateful, and I was particularly obedient, "Oka

The air seemed to have thickened.Jack reached out and gently rubbed my head, his voice calm and steady."The person I wanted to invite to the concert that time was you...""And the person I was waiting to be divorced was also you.""The person I've liked for 20 years is you."His voice was composed and firm, carrying an unwavering resolve. His dark eyes sparkled with intensity. "Charlotte, it's always been you, and no one else."My heart felt as if it were being tugged forcefully.Then it became anxious, feeling lost and unsure.It turned out that when someone truly cared for and loved me, my first reaction was to feel unworthy.I was overwhelmed with mixed emotions and instinctively wanted to deny it. "How could it be me? Haven't you known each other for so many years? And you and I...""Do you remember I told you I returned to the Renolds family only after I was eight?"Jack explained slowly, lifting his luminous wrist to show me the red string, "Before I was brought back
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 264
Talking about this, Jack also seemed a bit pained. "So when I met you again during university, I hated myself for missing so many years of your life and letting you suffer so much.""Jack, this is not your fault."When I was going through difficulties, he was still just a child.Some paths in life, you would have to walk by yourself.No one else could help.It was already very good that he could lend me a hand when I needed it the most.At that moment, Jane came out with the pizza, smiling. "How was your chat? How about we dig in?"Jack responded enthusiastically, "Go ahead, I skipped lunch and am starving."With Jane around, the hot pot was filled with joy and laughter.Gradually, I managed to push the trending topic out of my mind.It will pass; everything will pass.The next day, the snow still hadn't stopped. The cold wind was biting, and everything outside was covered in a blanket of white.Jane stayed over last night. Now, after receiving a phone call, she was nearly

“Georgina.” Whitney took the initiative to walk over and greet her. "Haven’t seen you in ages."Georgina smiled. "Everything's ready. Let's change first. We can talk while soaking in the hot springs."Millie led Whitney to the changing rooms.Yvonne mentioned that she had important guests today and would join them later.Georgina nodded.Caleb and Blake bumped into each other at the entrance.Blake had feelings for his family, but perhaps because he lost his parents at a young age, his personality had grown colder over the years.It wasn't that he didn't care, it was just that he couldn't be like Caleb, always smiling, with a more lively temperament."Caleb.""Blake."Caleb didn't waste time with pleasantries. There was no need between relatives.He walked briskly inside.Blake followed and asked what had happened.Caleb asked the receptionist where Millie's room was.The receptionist smiled professionally. "Mr. Caleb, I'm sorry, although you hold immense power, I still c

Whitney nodded.By the time they arrived, it was already dark.But the entrance of the hot spring resort was bustling with activity.People were coming and going, and the car park at the front was filled with luxury cars.Standing at the entrance was a woman in a purple gown, her figure stunning.In such cold weather, she was only wearing a form-fitting silk dress, and although she had a mink shawl draped over her shoulders, it had started snowing mixed with rain by now.Whitney felt a chill just looking at her.Then, glancing at herself, she realized she looked round and bundled up due to her thin frame, trying to stay warm.Compared to the woman in front of her, she didn't feel the least bit feminine."Yvonne!"Millie tugged Whitney over. "I brought my sister-in-law!"Yvonne excused herself from her guests, letting someone show them in, and then turned to face Millie and Whitney.The moment Whitney met her gaze, she felt a softening in her bones.It was a natural, effort

Caleb's temples throbbed.He regretted some of the things he had done to Millie when they were younger.Whitney was a bit worried, but Millie reassured her to not worry at all.In reality, Caleb was fine.If it weren't for Whitney, she would have exposed his little scheme by now."Gilbert will be here soon.""Also, the doctor said to observe him overnight, but he'll be fine. He can be discharged tomorrow. He's not missing any limbs. Whitney, it's okay to care about your husband, but don't spoil him too much. It'll bring bad luck."Whitney had never heard anything like this before.Millie always said things that were beyond her understanding.Maybe that's the difference between being spoiled growing up and struggling just to survive."Okay."She liked Millie, just as she liked Jane and the others—they were all great girls.Millie pinched her cheek. "That's more like it."Gilbert finished work at his usual time.When he arrived at the hospital, he thought for a moment and c

"You're still trying to make me gain weight." Millie was very kind to Whitney, always speaking in her favor, so she had to support her as well. "I always thought you liked a bit of meat on someone."Caleb wanted her to eat more, gain a bit of weight, and stay healthy.This was a setup, and he wasn't sure how to respond."Only giving me vegetables?"Whitney hadn't planned on cooking meat at all, but since Millie mentioned wanting some, she made cooked some meat."You can't eat anything greasy right now, but I've made some chicken. You can have some chicken."Caleb smirked. "I'll do as you say."Millie couldn't stand it anymore and clicked her tongue a few times.But Caleb didn't give her a chance to speak. "Can't the roast pork shut you up?"Millie was so angry that she gritted her teeth. After finishing her meal, she saw Whitney still feeding Caleb.Unable to stop herself, she said, "Caleb, you've got alcohol poisoning, not a broken arm. Whitney, you should eat. The dishes ar

Whitney felt that Millie probably had some longstanding grudge with Caleb from when they were kids.Therefore, she treated Millie with respect as well.That was why she said those words.What was so great about her?Being able to cook wasn't anything extraordinary.The Hilton family's status in Yelar was such that, had it not been for her good luck in becoming Zachary's sister and getting such an opportunity, she would have likely died in some unknown gutter.As for the various daughters of affluent families surrounding Caleb—beautiful, gentle, intellectual, and so on—the list was endless.Compared to her, they were a thousand times better.And yet, she still thought that Caleb marrying her was a loss.It wasn't as exaggerated as Millie had said."Millie, please don't say that. Caleb can cook for me, too. It's nothing special."Millie was shocked.Could Caleb even cook?But when she saw Whitney's expression, she realized that the times Caleb had cooked for her when they we

1461In the quiet ward, Caleb naturally heard those words.Whitney took a small step to the side, avoiding him.Caleb. ‘Oh, great.’"Alcohol poisoning," Whitney whispered to Millie.Millie exploded all of a sudden. "Alcohol poisoning?""Caleb used to drink for three days and nights straight without getting alcohol poisoning. If he got alcohol poisoning now, I'll livestream eating shit."Caleb could no longer stand it. He got up and snatched Whitney's phone.His voice was cold and low. "Millie, do you have nothing better to do?"Millie wasn't scared of him at all. "Trying to fool my sister-in-law, huh? Caleb, you really have no shame. Pursuing someone isn't done like this..."Caleb ended the call without another word.But who was Millie?Her grasp was not something one could get out of easily.She stormed straight to the hospital.Caleb's eyelids twitched when he saw her.But she didn't call him out, instead, she said, "I'll stay with Whitney and take care of you. When you

A flash of triumph appeared in Caleb's eyes as he raised his arm toward her.Whitney quickly pulled his arm over her shoulder, supporting him as she helped him get up.She hadn't expected him to lean all his weight on her, causing her to stumble slightly.Caleb took advantage of the moment, letting himself fall back onto the bed, and even deliberately let out a soft "hiss."Whitney immediately forgot about herself and rushed to check on him. "Did you hurt yourself?"Caleb pressed his hand to his head. "My head hurts."Whitney started to call for the doctor, but the man yanked her back toward him.Before she knew it, she was pressed against his chest.At that moment, her face felt like it was on fire."Are you messing with me?" Whitney was a little angry.She didn't like him, but she was still concerned about him.After all, though their marriage was far from perfect, they were still legally married.Caleb held her by the back of the head and gently pressed her down."Are y

But even though she sensed something was wrong, Whitney couldn't quite put her finger on it.In the end, she simply treated it as a test of her ability to handle unexpected situations.If something similar happened again—and with members of the Hilton family present—she couldn't afford to stay so calm and indifferent.That wasn't how a wife should react when faced with a rival.Tentatively, she asked, "I should have... stopped her and warned her?"Caleb felt she was finally on the right track, and gave a slight nod of agreement. Then he asked, "And after that?"‘After that...’Whitney had no real experience to draw from.She thought back to her school days, her part-time jobs, her internships.It seemed she had seen a wife confronting a mistress once.But back then, she had been too busy working hard and studying to pay close attention."Then I..."When she had walked in just now, she hadn't really seen anything inappropriate."Did she touch you?" she asked.How could Cal

Whitney had nothing to say.Even if Caleb's accusations were unreasonable, even if he was deliberately making things difficult, she still had to go along with it—and endure it."I'll keep that in mind."Caleb didn't feel any joy at her answer, but he still asked, "What exactly will you keep in mind?"Whitney replied obediently, "If the same thing happens again, I'll either send you a text or call you."Beneath his large palm was her small, soft hand. He brushed his thumb slowly across her skin and asked, "If I'm not home by six in the evening, what will you do?"Whitney answered with surprising seriousness, "Does a traffic jam count?"Caleb took a deep breath. "No. Let's say it's a normal day, I should be home on time, but I don't show up.""Oh..." Whitney nodded thoughtfully. "Then I'll call you and ask why you haven't come home."‘Good enough.’This topic could be put to rest.He released her hand and said, "I'm thirsty."Whitney immediately got up to pour him a glass of
