Ex-husband’s Regret



I sat up and reached out to flip the switch on the bedside, suddenly brightening the room. Unexpectedly, I saw him in a rare disheveled state.

The usually elegant and noble man had stubble on his chin, and there were dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept for days, radiating weariness.

What trouble had occurred in the Frost family to keep him this busy?

I frowned lightly. "Instead of coming here to see me, you should get some rest yourself."

He hooked his index finger around his tie knot, pulling it down slightly. A bitter curve formed on his lips. "I understand now, the pain you felt when you lost the child."

I clenched my fists, mocking him with a smirk. "Ryan, I don't need your empathy. Just remember every moment that your first child was killed by your own hands, that's enough."

Pain flashed through his pitch-black eyes, and his thin lips twitched slightly. His voice was hoarse. 'Do you... hate me that much?"

"Yes!" I admitted frankly. "I hate both you and Jessica to the bone. If you feel any guilt towards me or the child, then next month, come with me as planned to the Civil Affairs Bureau and get the divorce certificate."

"Fine." He swallowed hard, lowered his gaze, and muttered, "I'll do as you say."

That night, I didn't sleep well.

Although I had finally made a decision, I had a feeling that things wouldn't end so easily.

This feeling made me uneasy and restless.

However, the next day, I woke up to good news.

On the phone, Jack's voice was full of smiles. "Charlotte, the great designer, you never fail to impress."

"Huh?" I paused while eating fruit. "Jack, are you teasing me so early in the morning?"

"What if I told you that you won first place in the design competition?" Jack chuckled. "Would that still be teasing?

"Really?" I stood up abruptly, my eyes lighting up!

For me, this was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise. With things constantly changing recently, I dared not even think about what rank I could achieve.

Jack's voice was clear and pleasant. "Of course, when I saw your design sketches, I was already amazed. But competitions are decided by judges' votes after all, so I didn't dare to tell you earlier, afraid you might be disappointed."

Excited, I said, "Jack, thank you so much!"

"Save your thanks for next time, when you treat me to a meal," he teased.

'I'll treat you this time."

He had helped me a lot, and I had already planned to treat him to a meal, I smiled and said, "How about tonight? Are you free?"

"My pleasure."

Jack readily agreed, his voice filled with undisguised pleasure.

After hanging up the phone, Jane, who was sitting beside me, smiled. "Are you bringing me along?"

'Of course."

"Will Jack think I'm too much of a third wheel?"

"What are you thinking? He already has someone he likes."

I chuckled lightly, then voiced my thoughts, "Let's get discharged today. Since I'm fine now and have nothing to do, staying here is suffocating."

Jane initially disagreed, but after confirming with the doctor that I was in good health, she readily agreed.noveldrama

As a female player, she had been by my side in the hospital these past few days without a moment's rest, feeling bored herself.

"Shall we go shopping? A huge new shopping center opened a few days ago, claiming to be the largest in Astia." While packing, Jane suddenly suggested. I also wanted to go out, so I agreed.

The shopping center was in the southern part of the city, and because it was a weekday, there weren't many people there at that time.
