Chapter 285

Author: Lean
Whether it was the announcement of the marriage or the notice of divorce, I complied without a hitch. I thought that would be the end of it, that we would each go our separate ways.

But I didn't expect that even my mere presence would be intolerable to them.

Ryan held me tightly, as if trying to meld me into his bones and flesh, his voice low and soothing. "No! Charlotte, that's not what I meant. Don't be so upset."

"Then what do you mean?"

I struggled to control my trembling body, speaking with biting sarcasm. "Are you saying you never thought about marrying her? Are you saying that sending me abroad was all for my sake?"

What about the shot fired at me, or his defense of Bethany in front of Madam Shaw? What did those count for? A joke? Or was it that I deserved it?

I wouldn't believe it again, and I didn't dare to.

The harsh words from Bethany and her mother, though stinging, contained truth—I was never in the same world as Ryan.

Once, because of Grandpa, I had briefly aligne

  • Ex-husband’s Regret   Chapter 1522

    Whitney really didn't know how to respond to that.With so many people watching, her cheeks began to flush.She had always planned to cooperate well with Caleb in public, to be a competent daughter-in-law of the Hilton family—always poised, calm, and rational.Not arrogant or impatient.But since Caleb confessed, he had changed.He changed in a way she simply couldn't handle.He made her forget everything else."Janine said disdainfully, "I thought you had changed after getting married and become more mature, but you're still as flirtatious as before."Caleb didn't even pay her any mind and just looked at Whitney.Whitney had to speak up. "Uh... let's not say unpleasant things during the New Year."Caleb smiled. "Yes, I’ll do as you say."Whitney was rendered speechless."Are we still playing or what?" Janine really couldn't stand it anymore."Why don't you two just go to your room and be lovey-dovey.""Let’s play," said Caleb. "My wife rarely has time to hang out with yo

    Janine looked at Georgina and said, "So protective?"Georgina nodded. "I know, right?"She pulled Whitney over and said to Caleb, "He's in the study, go ahead. We're going to play cards.""You’re not allowed to bully my wife.""Stop being so clingy, I really can't stand you like this." Janine covered her mouth, pretending to want to throw up.Georgina said to Whitney, "Janine has always worked with me. She's somewhat related to the Hilton family and Caleb can be seen as her cousin."Whitney didn't know the Hilton family had relatives, so she just nodded."The Thames family is in Hesterfield, only Janine and I work in Yelar. With the market development in Hesterfield these past few years, so she's been there. You haven't met her before, so it's normal that you don't know her."Whitney nodded again.Janine couldn't help but tease, "You’re so cute. Why is Caleb so lucky?"Whitney noticed that Caleb had a bad reputation.It was different from what she knew."Let’s not talk ill

    She thought that just because Blake liked her, it didn't mean she shouldn't interact with other men."Did they fight?"Caleb nodded.Whitney furrowed her brow slightly. "You should try to talk to him, this kind of thing only makes Yvonne dislike him more.""How do you know I haven't tried?""Alright then."Caleb reached out and smoothed the crease between her brows, continuing, "Yvonne doesn't completely dislike Blake, which is why we didn't say much."Whitney didn't understand. From her perspective, Yvonne seemed quite annoyed with Blake, but out of respect for the Hilton family, she didn't completely fall out with Blake either.Yvonne was a clever person.Whitney admired her quite a lot.No wonder she was best friends with Georgina."What’s on your mind?"Whitney shook her head.Caleb saw she wasn't very interested and stopped talking.Unexpectedly, she asked, "Was the other person seriously injured? Is Yvonne taking care of him? No, and yes, Yvonne is taking care of hi

    It was so hot.In winter, the sun rose late. With the snow and overcast skies, it was barely light at eight o’clock.The lights had to be turned on inside the house.Whitney didn't know what to do. She picked up a book and started reading, not paying attention to the time.She kept on reading until Millie called her."Are you up, Whitney? It’s time for breakfast."She quickly opened the door and went out."I'm up."When she sat at the dining table, Whitney noticed that besides Caleb, Blake wasn't there either.She didn't ask. She figured maybe he was feeling down thinking about his parents.But during the whole visit to the cemetery, he and Caleb appeared together.There was even a bruise at the corner of his mouth.Still, she didn't ask much.Just the presence of Caleb made her feel relaxed a little.Caleb placed his large hand on her back. "Do you really need me that much?"Given the solemn occasion, she didn't say much to him."Stop joking around.""Alright, you're

    When Whitney woke up, there was no one beside her.She glanced at the time—6.30 a.m.—her body clock.But at this time, if Caleb had shared the bed with her, he would usually still be asleep.He didn't need to get up early, and he usually exercised at other times.Even if it was the New Year, there was no reason to be up this early.She quickly got up, washed up, and went downstairs to see if there was anything she could help with.The elders were already up—she was the only junior awake.She didn't see Caleb downstairs either.Janet saw her and asked with a smile, "Why not sleep a little longer? There’s still quite a while before we head out."On the first day of the New Year, the Hilton family always paid respects to their ancestors—and also visited Blake's parents at the martyrs' cemetery.She had gone with them once last year.That time, when she woke up, Caleb had still been by her side."I thought I'd come help out."Janet said, "Everything's been prepared in advance.

    Gilbert started the car and replied, "There's no love—just mutual misery."Whitney was rendered speechless.She had already tried her best to make herself invisible.But still ended up being dragged into everything.Millie held her hand and said, "But Caleb is still different. At least, his wife is in his arms. Meanwhile, Blake wants to bring someone home and share a bed. It won't be easy. Right now, every kiss still earns him a slap. I'm really curious, Blake, will Yvonne slap ruin your looks?"The anger Blake had barely held in from earlier was still simmering—and now Millie was fanning the flames again.Millie sensed he was really getting mad and added, "Think carefully—given my relationship with Yvonne, if you piss me off, I'll make your life even more miserable than it already is."Blake calmed down instantly.Gilbert glanced at them and teased, "Everyone has a weakness."Millie followed up. "And that weakness can be a certain someone."A red light happened to catch them

    Since it was the New Year, she didn't say anything—just curved her lips into a faint smile."Happy New Year."After saying it to Caleb, she turned, wanting to say it to Millie and the others as well.But when she looked around—everyone was kissing.Well, for the two married couples, she had nothing to say. It was legal.But why were Blake and Yvonne kissing too?And then, right before her eyes, the moment Blake let go of Yvonne—Yvonne slapped him, hard.Was... this what Blake called love?Whitney didn't understand, and didn't care.She took out her phone and sent a Happy New Year message to Jane and the others.Suddenly, her face was cupped in warm hands—and a gentle kiss fell on her lips.This kiss was soft.It was a kind of gentleness Caleb had never shown before. He usually liked deep, breath-stealing kisses."Whitney, be in a relationship with me. I promise, as long as you don't leave me, I'll never stop loving you."Whitney didn't know why he suddenly said that.T

    Lucifer continued, "I've gone in such a big circle with you—don't tell me you're going to leave me caught in the middle.""Alright, that's enough," said Gilbert, giving him a light punch on the shoulder. "It's New Year's Eve. Why keep poking at his sore spot?""I'm just curious. I didn't think even Caleb could have someone he can't win over. Back then, just by sitting there, people were throwing themselves at him one after another."Caleb was rendered speechless.On the other side—Blake bustled around, setting off fireworks for the four women.Yvonne didn't even look at him. She stood a fair distance from Blake, listening to what Millie and the others were saying.Whitney couldn't help but glance at Yvonne.She truly wasn't cold.She wore a slim-fit blue gown with a white mink fur cloak over it. The snow-white skin below her neck matched the snow falling that night.Whitney looked down at herself.She had on a long red puffer coat. She originally wanted to wear something da

    During the time that followed, Whitney didn't speak—and didn't want to.The Hilton family didn't force her to say anything either.After dinner, she helped clean up the table.Janet wanted to stop her, but Caleb gave her a slight shake of the head.When Whitney went into the kitchen, Janet scolded Caleb, "You know how shy she is, and you still continue to tease her."Caleb's expression remained calm.She still hadn't considered herself his real wife.As if the moment at the door warming his hands had been just like the snowflakes outside.Once the sun came out, it would leave no trace behind.Millie followed her into the kitchen to tell Whitney about the upcoming fireworks.Whitney cleaned off the leftover food from the plates and placed everything into the dishwasher, arranging them neatly.When she heard, she simply nodded.Millie asked, "Are you a little upset, Whitney?"Whitney washed her hands and dried them, confused. "No, I'm not."Millie said, "Caleb's just like t
