Ex-husband’s Regret のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 161 - チャプター 170

I vaguely guessed that the Renolds family's situation was probably complicated, but it wasn't appropriate to ask Jennifer, whom I had just met, about it.After a slight hesitation, I shook my head. "I'm sorry, I can't promise you that. He has his own convictions, and as his friend, I can only support him."He could have liked someone for twenty years, and he had always been calm and steady. He must have weighed the pros and cons of everything. It wasn't something outsiders could interfere with.Jennifer didn't show any displeasure on her face, just calmly said, "Aren't you curious who he likes?""If he wanted to tell me, he would."Since he hadn't told me yet, it meant he didn't want me to know. I also felt that between friends, it wasn't necessary to be completely transparent; it was okay for each other to have their own secrets.She suddenly changed the subject. "After graduating from college, my grandmother originally hoped he would inherit the family business early, like Ryan

I couldn’t give him an answer to that question.After all, I remembered that the girl had gotten married.I restarted the car and smiled gently. "I wish you well.""Okay," Jack responded cheerfully.I drove him to the building where he lived and hesitated before speaking, "About your injuries...""Don't listen to Jennifer's nonsense."He reached out and took the medicine, effortlessly easing my awkwardness. "Tom's at my place; just have him take care of it.""Alright." I felt somewhat relieved.It wasn't that I didn't want to help him with his wounds, but after all, it involved his back, which would require removing his shirt... My status might not be quite appropriate, and he would probably feel embarrassed too.As I prepared to return the car keys to him, he suddenly glanced over. "Today... I startled you, didn't I?"I lightly pinched my palm and honestly admitted that I was indeed frightened when I saw Sally hitting him like that. The whip had torn through his flesh.Bu

Ryan's dark eyes glanced at me, as if hoping I would step back.I smiled faintly, firmly stating first, "What she said is true. We'll send her away by tomorrow night at the latest.""I don’t want an answer from you..."Ignoring my words, Lauren stared only at Ryan, looking like she couldn't bear to face the truth. "Ryan, tell Ms. Wood, is it true?"Perhaps my gaze was too direct, but despite his discomfort, Ryan spoke in a deep voice. "It's true.""Mom, did you hear that!"Jessica cried out, "Ryan clearly promised you he would take care of me, but now he's siding with outsiders to bully us."Ryan's face turned cold. "Charlotte is my wife, not an outsider!""You're getting divorced!"Jessica's face was streaked with tears as she emphasized firmly.As if she was the one who had been wronged.Ryan frowned, feeling displeased. "Until the divorce certificate is in hand, she remains my wife."I was somewhat surprised that he emphasized our relationship like this to Jessica."Eno

On the day Grandfather passed away, he mentioned that Ryan would eventually find out. He couldn't be kept in the dark forever. Knowing that night was better than knowing later, to prevent him from being deceived by this Lauren and Jessica any longer.However, what caught me off guard was Albert, sounding puzzled on the phone. "Mrs. Frost, where did you hear about this?"My vision almost blacked out. I could already sense Ryan's extremely cold gaze!"Grandfather told me." I even started to doubt if I had remembered something wrong, but quickly confirmed that I hadn't. I tried to remind him, "Albert, don't you remember? It was in Grandfather's study that day, and Grandfather even took...""Are you mistaken?" Albert interrupted me abruptly!I was completely dumbfounded and couldn't believe it. "How could I possibly forget such a big thing...""Charlotte!" Jessica, who had been nervous, suddenly sneered. "Are you trying to bribe Albert to testify for you? Unfortunately, he was Gran

"That really does look like them!"Following my gaze, Jane also saw the resemblance and got excited. "Let's go!"She unbuckled her seatbelt and quickly got out of the car.I followed closely behind as we rushed into the hotel lobby.But where were they?We had to approach the hotel receptionist. Jane softened her voice, "Miss, the man and woman who just entered, are they significantly different in age?"Jane was pretty and smiled disarmingly, making people let their guard down easily.One of the younger receptionists fell into her trap. "They seem quite different in age...""Different how? Your head looks a little different to me."The more experienced receptionist cut her off. She looked over and said, "I'm sorry, but we can't disclose any information about our guests.""That old man looks like my dad!"Jane's mind raced, tears in her eyes as she continued passionately, "My mom helped him to start his business from nothing, endured so much hardship, and now that he's made s
