Lahat ng Kabanata ng Ex-husband’s Regret: Kabanata 1581 - Kabanata 1590

"What's wrong?"Caleb walked toward her step by step. "Just one night and you don't recognize your legal husband anymore?"Whitney had never considered this possibility and didn't know what to say for a moment.Caleb had been angry, but the moment he saw her, that anger inexplicably disappeared.But seeing her with her head down, not speaking, offering no explanation, the anger surged again.He grabbed her and dragged her out.Whitney couldn't break free. She clutched the doorframe tightly, even though the pain brought tears to her eyes.Her fingertips started to bleed, but she still didn't let go.Caleb's eyes were already red — the sight of her bleeding fingers made them even redder.He grabbed that hand too, and finally snapped, bending down and lifting her over his shoulder."Caleb."Zachary stepped in to block them and closed the office door. "It's not appropriate to go out like this. Put her down. This office is private. You can talk it out slowly, properly."Caleb's

Whitney didn't say a word.He lifted his gaze to look at her."About the job..."It was the only thing he could compromise on."Just three years?"She felt a weight in her chest, like it had been stuffed full of waterlogged cotton—heavy and suffocating.She didn't know what to do, so she just nodded.He glanced at the injuries on her lips and reached out to straighten her collar and hair.His voice was low and calm, stripped of anger."Then we'll talk again in three years."Her lowered lashes trembled violently."No contact for three years?" he asked again.She hesitated but nodded."Fine."He stood up. "I'm leaving."Whitney opened her mouth, but no words came out.He looked at her, a flicker of hope in his eyes.In the end, she just bowed her head.He let out a bitter laugh and turned to leave decisively.At the door, Zachary asked, "You two finished talking?"He replied expressionlessly, "Take care of her for the next three years."Three years?That was way too

"Caleb, have you finished handling your affairs?""Yeah."Seeing his displeasure, she didn't bring up anything to make his mood worse."So should I return to the country or...?""Stay.""Oh..."Then, Janine was stunned by what he said next."Three years.""What?"Caleb didn't even look at her, flipping through documents. "What, you’re not willing?"Before Janine could speak, he said again, "It’s either Zain or me, you choose."Janine smiled ingratiatingly, "You, of course, Caleb. We're family."Caleb planned to expand a bit beyond the previous project.If she stayed in the country, he definitely wouldn't be able to resist wanting to bring her home.Their home was filled with her presence.He couldn't be indifferent."Go work." Caleb assigned Janine some tasks.Janine left.At night, Caleb was still working overtime. If not working overtime, he didn't know what else to do.Zain came to see him, bringing food.He even brought Janine along."Don't bother him..."She

Janine quickly broke free from Zain.She smiled awkwardly but politely."Aunt Janet, Uncle Philip..."Philip nodded slightly and first went to Caleb's office.Janet's beautiful eyes moved back and forth between the two of them.She asked Janine, "Your boyfriend?""No, no, no!" Janine hurriedly denied. "We’re just colleagues, we're used to joking around."Janet seemed to accept this explanation, "People seem to be more open abroad."Janine chuckled. "I'm rushing to catch a flight, I’m running late, Happy New Year!"Janet nodded and watched them leave.When she reached Caleb's office, she asked, "How long have Janine and that guy been together?"Caleb didn't expect his parents to come.He had just talked to his father about some work matters.For this question, he thought for a moment and said, "You shouldn’t stick your nose into youngsters’ matters."Janet slapped him. "You need to be taught a lesson."Philip asked, "Where do you live? We'll go cook."Caleb said, "No nee

"Whatever you do has nothing to do with me... uh!"The kiss came suddenly and fiercely.Janine's hands were held down, so she could only turn her head to avoid it.The man freed one hand to hold the back of her head, stealing all her breath...At New Year, he was suddenly told to get engaged.He wanted to clarify but passed out after a drink, when he woke up, someone was lying beside him.Then he was forced to register the marriage.He kept refusing, trying to escape, but was locked in tight.He thought after New Year he would have a chance.But then was told he was going to be a father unexpectedly.His family pressured him to register the marriage.He had no choice but to comply, but he threatened not to hold a wedding.Later, he got busy investigating those matters.He knew he was set up but couldn't confirm if the child was his, so he waited until the pregnancy was far enough for a paternity test.Before that, the woman fell and lost the baby.It became a situation w
