Chapter 43

Author: Lean
Now that Grandpa had asked me for a favor, I had no reason to turn him down.

Ryan and I were already separated, and a divorce certificate would only make our division clearer.

There was no rush for us to get a divorce agreement.

Moreover, Grandpa's 80th birthday was just a month away. There wasn’t much time left at all.

Later, Albert escorted me out of the study.

"Mr. William did this because he's worried that you and Mr. Frost will regret your decisions in the future. He wants you both to think things through a little longer."

I pursed my lips and was about to speak when my phone rang.

It was an unknown landline.

"Hello, is this a relative of Jane?"

"Yes."

"This is Jelaston Police Station. Please come over as soon as possible."

Before I could ask anything, they hung up.

With no time to spare, I hurried downstairs. As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw Jessica fuming with anger.

"You've gone over the line!" she exclaimed, moving to slap me, but I stopped her.

  • Ex-husband’s Regret   Chapter 1556

    Zain was very annoyed. "She’s not even your sister.""If she were my own sister, no matter how many times she slept with you, I wouldn’t let you take revenge on her."Caleb glanced at his watch. "Janine hasn’t interacted much with me, but after all, she’s protected by Georgina. She didn’t stop you this time because she knew Janine was in the wrong. You wouldn’t let it go otherwise. But if you keep bullying her, if I don’t step in, Georgina will have to, and Lucifer will go crazy."Zain remained silent.Caleb said, "Janine begged my wife because she didn’t want things to get out of hand. If Lucifer steps in, things will get messy. If he tells your family, you’ll lose your childhood sweetheart forever."Elsewhere, in a tea house.Janine was a little worried and asked Georgina, "Do you think my cousin will stand up for me because we’re cousins?"Georgina sipped her tea. "If Caleb can’t handle it, I’ll let Lucifer go to Hesterfield.""Don’t..."Janine was afraid of that.Now she

    "Do you have a toothache?"Caleb leaned closer. "Give me a kiss."Whitney gave a quick kiss, hurriedly got out of the car, and ran away.Caleb touched his face and smiled."Look at you." Dianne leaned against the car window, watching Caleb with interest. "So this is what you’re like when you’re in love, not quite what I imagined."Caleb’s smile faded. "I’m in a hurry.""So, you’re in a hurry now when you’re not kissing your wife?""We didn’t kiss each other’s lips.""I saw it all."A trace of mischief flashed in Caleb’s eyes. "I kissed her cheek."Dianne told him to scram.Caleb turned and left, sticking his arm out the car window and waved at Dianne."You little brat."But seeing him really happier than before was like the clouds parting to reveal the moon.As an aunt, she was happy too.Caleb told Whitney he was going to the Hilton Group, but in fact he had nothing to do there today.He was going to see Zain."So you’re preparing to settle down in Yelar?""Would you

    Caleb stopped what he was doing.He turned off the cooked and turned to faced her.Whitney felt a little awkward, and since she wasn’t used to looking him straight in the eyes, she avoided his gaze."You should continue cooking..."She tried to leave but was caught by the man and pressed against the fridge."Look at me."Whitney gathered her courage and lifted her head to meet his eyes.Caleb bent his back down to be level with her gaze."Since I said I like you, have you been struggling with this?"Whitney nodded honestly."Why are you only asking now?""Because I didn’t think about changing how we interact before..."Caleb asked, "Did you also think about divorce?"Whitney was rendered speechless.She scratched her face, couldn’t think of an excuse, and admitted, "Yes."Suddenly, silence fell.Caleb’s dark, sharp eyes were so deep it felt like they could pull her in.Whitney tried to avoid his gaze but he held her chin firmly, forcing her to look."Why do you feel l

    "Stop!"Whitney wasn’t as thick-skinned as he was.Caleb didn’t tease her and, knowing she was okay, left the bathroom door.After a while, Whitney came out and saw the man sitting on the sofa.Caleb saw her holding her waist and walking slowly, so he went forward and picked her up.He carried her directly to the dining room.Then he served the food.Whitney was very hungry, smelling the aroma of the food, her stomach grumbled twice.Caleb handed her a bowl of soup. "Eat this first to line your stomach."Whitney sipped it slowly.Caleb asked, "You’ve almost finished the medicine, right?"Whitney nodded.Before his business trip, Caleb had made her some medicine for menstrual pain and put it in the fridge, seeing she remembered to take it made him feel relieved."You’ve definitely put on a little weight...""Cough!"Whitney choked, and Caleb quickly patted her back and wiped her mouth."You have to get used to it slowly."Whitney gradually felt better and began eating s

    Whitney’s face flushed completely red as she hesitated, trying to get off his lap."You’d better not move again."The man’s voice was dangerously husky, and Whitney froze.The large hand gripping her slim waist tightened a bit."Whit, from today on, try to like me, okay?"Whitney nodded shyly."Ah!"Caleb lifted her up and headed straight for the bedroom."Don’t forget, there’s also exercise to help digestion."They hadn’t been intimate for a long time and had a little quarrel in between.After clearing up the misunderstanding, he showed her this little token of affection.That night was destined to be restless.When Caleb got up, he felt refreshed both in body and spirit.Looking at the person sleeping soundly beside him, he felt happiness take shape.He slowly withdrew his arm, adjusted her sleeping posture, and gently kissed her before getting up.He tidied up a bit and went to the kitchen to cook.During this time, he received a call from Philip."Can you still go

    Counting the days, she asked him the morning after tomorrow if he was already on his way back.Caleb said he was on his way back.Since it was the weekend, Whitney stayed in the living room, reading a book while waiting.Near noon, she went to prepare lunch.When the dishes were on the table, she saw Caleb enter and immediately went to greet him, taking his coat."Just in time, wash your hands and eat."Caleb changed his shoes and caught her hand to look at it.Whitney felt a bit embarrassed.He often held her hand, but his attitude had changed, and some things changed along with it."It’s nothing..."Caleb saw that her hand really wasn’t injured, he let go, and went to wash his own.After sitting down, Whitney handed him the cutlery.Caleb looked at the table full of dishes. Although not as refined as a restaurant’s, he still felt the happiness.In fact, in his life so far, except for being taken to the mountains against his will and almost forced into marriage, there had
