Chapter 69

Penulis: Lean
I kindly pointed her in the right direction. "If you hope your child isn't illegitimate, go find Ryan and ask him to hurry up with the divorce, understood? Don't make a scene here. If you end up having a miscarriage, you'll lose one more bargaining chip to marry into the Frost family. See her out."

Finally, I instructed her assistant.

Jessica was furious and probably thought I had a point, so she just left.

And the direction I pointed her in worked quite effectively.

As for how I knew, in the afternoon, I received a call from Ryan.

"What did you say to her?" he asked as soon as I answered the call.

I paused and said, "I didn't say much, just that she urged me to divorce you and I told her to talk to you."

His tone became colder. "You didn't tell her to go die?"

Was she trying to exaggerate things?

I wasn't surprised that Jessica would do this. Softening my voice, I said, "I only said that because I was provoked. She called me a prostitute pretending to be virtuous, a disaster

  • Ex-husband’s Regret   Chapter 1754

    Blake pressed hard on the back of her head.“No matter what the result is, a divorce is not going to happen.”Yvonne asked, “What about your late parents?”Blake didn’t respond.He had something that didn’t really sound filial that he wanted to say.It had been his parents’ choice—it wasn’t a path they had taken for him.He had lost his parents when he was young. Had anyone asked how he felt?He had watched other children living happy lives with their parents...Did he want parents?Of course he did. That was something his grandparents could never replace.He tried to understand his parents’ choices, and he believed they would understand him, too.“Those who are still alive are more important.”Yvonne, on the other hand, had never been raised by her parents.She had little memory of them.Her mother was unknown.She could only to her father as uncle.And her two younger brothers—neither of them shared the same mother as her.Blake, though he had lost his parents, had o

  • Ex-husband’s Regret   Chapter 1753

    Grandpa Joel had once held him on his lap and let him play on the computer.Maybe he thought the boy was too young to remember anything, so he let his guard down.And he believed that the boy wouldn’t remember all of it.The truth was that he was right. Brody only remembered half of it.At that age, it hadn’t occurred to him that it was something he should try to remember.Yvonne picked up on something. “From what you’re saying... you really want me to be with Blake?”Brody nodded honestly. “You really like him. When you’re with him, you seem to be yourself.”Blake arrived at his unit and went to see his superior, asking to access the case files.This was something he had to get to the bottom of—it had been a wedge between him and Yvonne for too long, damaging their relationship.But his superior still refused.“You’re their son. According to regulations, you have to excuse yourself.”Blake said, “Then tell me, who will be allowed to check the files?”The superior replied,

  • Ex-husband’s Regret   Chapter 1752

    Blake had investigated for a long time, but made no progress.Even this time, while dealing with Tristan, he wasn’t able to get anything out of him.Tristan said he didn’t know and that it was Uncle Joel who had done it.The Uncle Joel they referred to was Yvonne’s biological father. Back then, he had protected Yvonne and never publicly acknowledged their relationship.Yvonne had no intention of acknowledging it either.But blood ties couldn't be changed.And that was something Yvonne cared deeply about."I only heard part of it," said Brody. "I don’t know the details—just that there seemed to be some kind of connection between them.""But I don’t think Grandpa Joel would’ve done something that cruel."That was vague enough to be almost meaningless.Blake asked, "If your Grandpa Joel discovered undercover agents, would he really let them go?"Brody said, "Grandpa Joel acted because he had no choice. He always claimed he was only her uncle… to protect…her..."Blake said, "So

    Blake followed behind her.Brody saw Yvonne and immediately stood up.He seemed a bit at a loss.Yvonne looked him up and down, then nodded. "You look good like this."Brody smiled—a faint smile, but clearly a happy one."Come eat," said Yvonne as she turned and walked toward the buffet area.Brody quickly followed.Yvonne pointed casually. "Take whatever you like."After saying that, she sat down by the window, pulled out her phone, and checked the evening schedule.Blake poured her a cup of coffee and sat down beside her."Grandma said to bring Clay to the next family gathering."Yvonne paused, then asked, "Is that his new name?"Blake had never mentioned it, and she had never asked.There wasn't much to say now, so he brought this topic up."He actually wanted to take your surname. He can change it later. For school, he needs a proper full name."Yvonne said, "Just use your surname. It’s more convenient for everything."Blake replied, "That’s what I thought too."He

  • Ex-husband’s Regret   Chapter 1750

    On the weekend, Blake picked Brody up and took him to Yvonne's hot spring resort.When they left the Hilton family's residence, Lia mentioned taking Brody back home for dinner.He didn't agree right away.After all, Yvonne was the one to make decisions.He was just someone who came later.Brody felt a little excited but didn't show it.When Blake waited at a red light, he glanced at Brody.He looked much fresher, and that black hoodie was gone.Wearing a deep blue tracksuit, he finally looked like a 15-year-old boy."How are things?"Brody nodded. "It's okay, but studying is a bit difficult."Blake said, "I'll find you a tutor."Brody thanked him.Blake was quite surprised. "I'm flattered."Brody's eyes dimmed slightly. "Actually, she doesn't like black, doesn't like someone who slacks off, and doesn't like someone who’s rude."Blake asked, "Then why were you her most hated version before?""She hated me no matter what I did.""Then why did you change?"Brody pursed h

  • Ex-husband’s Regret   Chapter 1749

    No matter what was said to Caleb today, he was happy.He even drank two extra glasses.He was very alcohol tolerant, but he actually got drunk.Whitney was not in a position to take care of him, so Blake and Gilbert helped Caleb back to his room, gave him a bath, and changed his clothes.Whitney, Millie, and Yvonne went to the balcony to talk.Millie gently touched Whitney’s belly. "Whitney, do you want a son or a daughter?"Whitney said, "A son, I guess."If it were a daughter, she had been a girl before and felt that girls had it too hard, though in the Hilton family it wouldn't be as hard as she experienced.But... she felt she was better at raising a boy.Maybe Caleb was better than her at raising a girl, but deep down she still preferred a boy.Relatively speaking, boys were easier to take care of."But it's not really up to me."Millie nodded. "Yeah, it's unpredictable, but either way works for me. A girl could be a companion for Ellie, and a boy could protect Ellie."
