Ex-husband’s Regret

"Okay, I get you!"

Tears welled up in my eyes. As I turned my head, I saw a bright star in the sky. It was as if I had suddenly pulled myself out from an emotion that could have completely shattered me at any moment.

Jack handed me a tissue from the car. "Go ahead and cry. You can cry today but don't

anymore after today. Crying too much at times like this hurts your eyes."

He didn't let me stay on the mountain for too long and drove me back to the city..

After hesitating for a moment, I cautiously asked, "Jack, the girl you've liked for so many years must be a really good girl, right?"

"Yeah.

He nodded without hesitation, his eyes and brows softening. "She's the same girl! mentioned to you just now."

I couldn't help but be surprised. "But... that's many years ago."

"Yeah, twenty years," he blurted out.

Clearly, it was a sincere and deep-rooted affection.

I sighed and didn't say anything more. When we arrived downstairs at Jane's house, I

softly thanked him, "Thank you for today."

Actually, when he asked me in the evening if I was ill, I hesitated for a moment.

But now, my emotions were indeed much better.

He cocked his brows. "What did you promise me?"

"I don't need to thank you for other things, but today, I should thank you."

"Alright, go upstairs quickly and rest early."

"Okay, take care!*C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, my phone rang. It was Ryan calling.

It had been hours since he said that he would be right back.

I picked up. "Hello."

"Where are you?"

The man's voice was low and deep.

I walked to the door of my home absentmindedly and answered casually, "At home." "When did you learn to lie?"

He sneered sarcastically, "They said at the old mansion that you haven't been back in the past few days, and you've been away from the Lake Garden for even longer!"

"Oh, since you already know, why are you calling? Are you worried that I'm cheating on you, or worried that I'm sleeping with someone else?"

This sentence immediately touched a nerve with him. His voice turned cold and hard," I'd like to see you try."

"Sure, I'll follow the script you've set for me, and take my time." I knew exactly what kind of words could provoke him.

"Charlotte!" Ryan suddenly exploded, his tone as cold as ice in the bitter cold of the coldest winter. "I'll ask you one last time, where are you?"

The angrier he got, the more satisfied I felt. "You're so powerful, why don't you find out

I for yourself?"

With that said, I hung up the phone directly!

I no longer wanted to be the one revolving around him!

Whoever falls in love first loses, that was true. But once you no longer want to love, you could always turn the tables.

I entered the password and opened the door. Jane rushed in from the balcony and pulled off her mask. "Why did Jack bring you back?"

"He and Ryan had a fight today."

I poured a glass of water and recounted today's events to her.

She was surprised. "You've got guts. You now dare to stand up to Ryan?"

"I don't think I was that much of a coward before."

"Yeah yeah, at most he would just summon you at his beck and call."

I helplessly didn't respond. Jane changed the subject, "Do you think the person Jack has liked for many years is you? He was on a business trip to France yesterday, and suddenly returned to the country today, very suspicious."

"It definitely isn't."

I was hesitant when I was in the car. But Jack and I have only known each other for eight years in total, and there's no connection to the girl he mentioned. Besides, Jack is

from the Renolds family in Jelaston, while I was only brought to Jelaston after my parents passed away.

He probably just sympathized with my situation and lent me a helping hand.

After taking a shower, Jane pointed to my phone charging on the bedside table. "Your ex-husband is bombarding your phone."

I ignored it, completely dried my hair, then walked over. The phone rang again.

"Ryan, what's up at this late hour?"

"Come down."

Since our fallout, he seemed to have started to cherish his words more.

I frowned. "Come down where?"

With a sudden sense of tension, I walked to the window absentmindedly and bumped into Ryan's pitch-black eyes unexpectedly!

Did he actually look into where I was?

What was wrong with him?

He stared at me, enunciating each word, "Two minutes. If you don't come down, I'm going up there."
