Semua Bab Ex-husband’s Regret: Bab 21 - Bab 30

'What does that mean? Is he suspecting that I'm cheating on him before we're divorced? Well, he is indeed that kind of person,' I thought.I couldn't be bothered to explain and just replied blandly, "A good friend.""What friend?""Ryan." I smiled softly and said gently, "Dead people don't pry into matters."Since he was willing to play the role of a dead ex-husband, he should be professional about it.Ryan nearly burst out laughing, his tongue pressed against his cheek as he chuckled. "Alright."When we arrived at the graveyard and got out of the car, I headed straight up the stairs towards the hill. Seeing that Ryan didn't follow, I had to turn back and wait for him. As I turned around, I noticed he was carrying a basket of yellow and white chrysanthemums that he had prepared earlier, and I couldn't help but be a little taken aback.I pursed my lips. "Thank you.""Thank me for what? It's something I should do," he replied calmly.When he caught up with long strides, we walke

Jack either didn't catch the implication, or he didn't want to dwell on the matter. He just smiled. "No big deal. Why don't you guys go wash your hands? Dinner is ready."Jack was also a great cook, and the table was filled with dishes that were great in looks, fragrance, and taste. It would make anyone's mouth water.Both Tom and Jane couldn't stop praising Jack.I couldn't help but compliment, "Jack, your dishes look amazing!""Go ahead and have a bite. See if it suits your taste."Jack brought out the last two dishes from the kitchen, and placed a plate of spicy shrimp in front of me, with a warm smile. "You should love this."I was a little surprised.Except for Jane, everyone assumed my taste was as bland as Ryan's. However, before I could say anything, Ryan chimed in coldly, "She can't handle spicy food. Although you were quite close during college, you still don't understand her taste...""Mr. Frost." Jane tried to defend me with a smile on her face. "Who have you been p

Thinking back, I found such a thought ridiculous.On my wedding night, I was left alone. Several times on my birthday, my husband was absent. The gifts I longed for were given to others. Even on the day of my prenatal checkup, my husband went to accompany someone else.Now that we reached the point of divorce, he couldn't accept it when my friends came to throw me a housewarming party. I smirked and looked down at him. "If you don't leave, I'll call Jessica."He wouldn't be able to handle the situation if Jessica came over.Ryan suddenly tightened his grip around my waist, resting his forehead on my chest, his voice was hoarse. "Charlotte, I never wanted things to turn out like this, really." With him like this, my heart couldn't help but soften.At that moment when I wanted to speak, his phone, casually placed on the dining table, rang.The caller ID displayed "Jessica".Such a sight sent shivers down my back and I immediately became sober. I pushed him away. "You've got a ca

Her words might have had some effect on me if she said them a while ago, but now that I had accepted facts like "Ryan had never had any feelings for me", I no longer had the urge to question her. I just looked at her calmly and said, "You seem to have everything under control, so why bother harassing me every day?"She came to my office early in the morning and made it seem like she was the wife and was interrogating the mistress. Seeing my indifferent reaction, Jessica became a little anxious. Without waiting for me to ask, she spoke triumphantly, "It's because of me."She leaned forward on my desk as if looking at a defeated opponent. "Charlotte, if it weren't for me, he wouldn't have married you! You wouldn't even have had the chance to set foot in their house!"After hearing those words, I clenched my fists and an indescribable feeling arose in my heart, causing it to race.She curved her red lips in satisfaction, and crossed her arms over her chest. "It was Grandpa who used

I was startled by the sudden noise. Only then did I touch my ears. The blood had already dried and some red scabs came off. The touch brought back a twinge of pain to my ears.My ears were bleeding and I didn’t even notice.Jane patted my hand. "Why are you so stubborn? Doesn't it hurt?"With that, she took out an iodine cotton swab from her bag, tied my hair up, and carefully disinfected my ears. "How did this happen?""Jessica tried to pull my earrings off." I briefly explained the situation to her.Jane cursed angrily, "Who the hell does she think she is? I swear to god she’s a nosy bitch. She loves sticking her nose into other people’s businesses. She even wants to take things that don’t belong to her. What a thief.""Why do you always know how to curse people?" After Jane’s bombardment, my gloomy mood from earlier in the day lifted a little.Jane glared at me. "With a friend like you, I have to learn how to curse.""Oh."I waited for Jane to take care of my ears. The
