Lahat ng Kabanata ng Ex-husband’s Regret: Kabanata 271 - Kabanata 280

When she saw him arrive, Bethany immediately restrained her previously sharp and unpleasant expression, though she still seemed agitated, muttering, "You always help outsiders!"Mrs. Shaw also softened her stance compared to before and asked, "Why?""I told my grandmother I would send her a few sets of custom-made clothes." Frank smiled. "This weekend, I'm taking Charlotte back to listen to what my grandmother wants. If you bully her and she refuses to talk to me, how am I supposed to explain things to my grandmother?"Upon hearing those words, Bethany's expression turned fierce. "You're taking her to meet Madam Smith?""Does it concern you?" Frank was terse and didn't bother to say more.Bethany snorted coldly. "Madam Smith always values rules and reputation. How could she allow a bitch like her...""Bethany, if my grandmother can tolerate someone like you, Ms. Wilson should definitely be liked by her."Even in front of Mrs. Shaw, Frank didn't spare Bethany any face.Mrs. Shaw

My first reaction was a moment of bewilderment, followed by amusement. ‘Vicious?’When they kidnapped me and left me injured from head to toe, they didn't reflect on their own actions. Now, I merely had Zack replicate my injuries onto Bethany. It seemed that they have a different set of standards for others.So the daughters from affluent families were more precious and the ordinary people were inferior? The two sets of standards were really unreasonable."Are you going to speak or not? Feeling guilty, are you? Fine, since you've played the part of the villain, don't blame me for retaliating!" Mrs. Shaw continued to shout angrily on the other end of the line.The phone was connected via the car's Bluetooth, so Frank naturally heard everything clearly.I barely had a chance to speak before Frank started, "Mrs. Shaw, it's unfair to accuse Ms. Wilson. I've been at her company all afternoon just to get a lift and haven't seen her associating with anyone suspicious."With just a few w

We were all adults here. Given the conversations we had recently, I understood what his gestures and attentions meant.I was somewhat at a loss for how to respond.I had already said what needed to be said on that day.Frequent refusals could lead to awkwardness and might even jeopardize our friendship.Jack hesitated slightly. "Charlotte, have I given you any burden?"I fiddled with my cutlery, and before I could speak, he continued thoughtfully, "I've said before, you don't need to respond to anything. Just consider this as care between friends.""In the future, when you're ready to start a new relationship, we can take it slow," he added.My heart warmed.Had I not experienced the failed marriage with Ryan, or if I were still at an impulsive age, hearing those words might have led me to fall deeply for him.But now, I... was too afraid.The cost of becoming emotionally involved was too great.I slowly loosened my grip on the cutlery. "What if that day never comes?"Since

The Smith family mansion was expansive, exuding both heritage and a vintage charm. It was clear at a glance that the house had been passed down through generations. While the exterior had been renovated, the interior still retained traces of its historical past.Unlike the opulence I had imagined, the mansion had a more understated elegance. Even a small decorative porcelain vase in the corner was a Medieval antique, worth over a hundred million.Frank had long, slender legs but walked at a leisurely pace, with his hands casually in his pockets, unhurried.He guided me past the vast dining hall and headed straight for the back garden. From a distance, I saw two elegantly dressed elderly ladies.One was sitting by the fireplace, sipping tea, while the other was pruning a nearby potted plant with scissors.Frank walked over, poured himself a cup of tea, and with a playful grin, said, "Madams, you're in much better shape than me. You're still doing outdoor activities even in this c

Although Frank constantly talked about money, he arranged for me to stay at a six-star hotel in Jeswood.I originally planned to return to Jelaston that night, but Frank said on the phone, "I'm going to Jelaston tomorrow. I can give you a ride back.""Alright."Might as well enjoy a free Bentley ride.The next day, I intended to sleep in until I woke up naturally, but a phone call disturbed me."Come downstairs."It was Frank's lazy voice.After being woken up by him for two consecutive days, I couldn't help but feel irritated. "Dude, did you stay up all night again?""Oh, is someone cranky in the morning?"I took a deep breath to calm myself and forced a smile. "Of course not, just concerned about you. Mr. Smith, what's the occasion so early in the morning?"Frank yawned. "Madam Shaw wants to see you.""Huh?" I was a bit surprised, and affected by his yawn, I got out of bed while yawning and asked, "Now?"He suddenly spoke sharply, "When do you think? Do you think I have n
