Semua Bab Ex-husband’s Regret: Bab 491 - Bab 500

Diana was formally trained in design and had six years of work experience. She had no problem passing the initial interview. However, when she received the call from the HR department of the Frost Group, she sighed with relief. "Okay, I will definitely be on time for the second interview at your company."She had been worried that Ryan might use his position to obstruct her.In truth, she hadn't intended to apply to the Frost Group. However, the Frost Group offered the best salary and benefits, and it was rare to find a position that suited her so well.What she needed most right now was money.Although Ryan had arranged for her mother's transfer and all expenses related to her surgery and hospitalization, heart disease required a long period of recovery after discharge.Everywhere needed money.She could only hope that Ryan, being the president, wouldn't concern himself with such a position."Diana..." When she returned to the ward after the call, her mother, who had just wok

Julie's grandson had a fever, so she took the day off to go to the hospital.The entire house was especially quiet under the sunset's afterglow, and even his heartbeat seemed incredibly clear.The atmosphere was thick with a growing sense of intimacy, like creeping vines wrapping around us. I felt my breathing become tense and nudged him, "You must be hungry. I'll go make dinner...""Yes, I'm hungry."Frank's brown eyes were filled with a burning intensity. The next moment, his long, strong hand gently cupped the back of my head, and his body silently pressed closer to mine. The position became increasingly intimate, with the ambiguity spreading like layers being peeled away.My heart pounded wildly!The tip of my nose was surrounded by a refreshing, cool minty scent, and the man's low voice murmured, "But I don't want to eat."As he spoke, his breathing grew deeper and slower. When he lowered his head, his warm lips touched mine. I felt like I was electrocuted.His kisses were

Frank's tall figure stiffened slightly before he let out a chuckle. The sound of running water from the faucet filled the room as he washed off the soap on his hands, wiped away the water stains, and turned around to pull me into his arms.The man lowered his head slightly, his eyes shining as he looked at me, and pinched my face. "Charlotte, it's because I'm not strong enough that I feel uneasy. It has nothing to do with you."I wrapped my arms around his neck and said earnestly, "You've already done a great job!""Charlotte..." He gently rubbed my face with his thumb, a trace of self-reproach crossing his eyes. "If I had truly done well enough, you wouldn't have been kidnapped when you were young, and two years ago, Luke wouldn't have found you and forced you back to Ryan.""How old were you when I was kidnapped?"I looked up at him, trying to ease his guilt. "And as for Luke finding me... in the end, none of these things are your fault."His fingertip rested on the corner of m

Last time, because she learned about my background, things ended on a sour note.So, when Yasmin called and brought up this topic, I was a bit surprised. After a moment of hesitation, I answered honestly, "It's a silver pendant, a rabbit silver pendant."On the other end of the line, Yasmin seemed a bit excited. "A rabbit silver pendant?""Yes." I confirmed it and explained, "I've worn that silver pendant since I was young. Two years ago, I had an accident, and the pendant went missing."Curious, I asked, "Ms. Jackson, why do you suddenly want to know about this?""I..." Yasmin seemed to be calming herself, organizing her words. Finally, she asked, "I also wanted to ask if you have some time now. I'd like to discuss something with you in person.""I do." I thought for a moment and agreed to meet up. I had a vague premonition that whatever Yasmin wanted to talk about was deeply connected to me.Yasmin tentatively asked, "Where do you live? Is it convenient if I come over?""Huh?

"Who?""Simone Hickey or should I say Simone Shaw."Yasmin wiped away her tears and said with regret. "Back then, she and I were pregnant around the same time, but she gave birth prematurely. Therefore, we ended up giving birth on the same day.""I was alone back then and just wanted to get out of the hospital with you quickly, to distance ourselves from the Jackson family and the Shaw family.""Who knew her child died. And in order to marry into the Shaw family smoothly, she bribed the nurse to switch my child with hers..."The Simone Hickey she mentioned was Mrs. Shaw.Thinking about how Simone had that maternal face towards me when I was young, I felt a shiver down my spine. "So... what happened then...""In the dead of night, a nurse suddenly came in with my child, shouting, and the child was immediately sent for emergency treatment.""When the child was returned to me, the silver pendant was gone."Yasmin took a deep breath as she spoke. "It's my fault for trusting others
