Ex-husband’s Regret

I kindly pointed her in the right direction. "If you hope your child isn't illegitimate, go find Ryan and ask him to hurry up with the divorce, understood? Don't make a scene here. If you end up having a miscarriage, you'll lose one more bargaining chip to marry into the Frost family. See her out."

Finally, I instructed her assistant.

Jessica was furious and probably thought I had a point, so she just left.

And the direction I pointed her in worked quite

effectively.

As for how I knew, in the afternoon, I received a call from Ryan.

"What did you say to her?" he asked as soon as I answered the call.

I paused and said, "I didn't say much, just that she urged me to divorce you and I told her to talk to you."

His tone became colder. "You didn't tell her to go die?!

Was she trying to exaggerate things?

I In't surprised that Jessica would do this. Softening my voice, I said, "I only said that because I was provoked. She called me a prostitute pretending to be virtuous, a disaster for my step-parents, and said I'm shameless for clinging to other men and threatened to have someone beat me to death..."

After finishing, I recalled Jessica's words earlier.

I felt like I was stating the facts.

Compared to fabricating lies, I was just adding some color.

Ryan was momentarily stunned, his voice was as cold as ice.

I said, "You should know her better than me."

Did she tally rau that to you?"

There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment before he sighed. "She's been spoiled by my dad since childhood. Just don't argue with her."

I smirked. "Sure."

It was typical for men to have two standards.

On the one hand, he questioned me because of Jessica's words, and on the other, he could ask me not to argue with her.

Why didn't he say that to Jessica?

Jane heard about this and was so angry in bed that her curses were like a string of firecrackers exploding

"Both of them are crazy. They're out of their goddamn minds!"

"Alright, alright. You're almost fainting, and you still have the spirit to curse?" I quickly handed her a cup of water to help her rehydrate.

After work that evening, I received a call from her. Nothing unusual, she was hospitalized for food poisoning.

When I arrived, she was lying alone in the hospital bed, receiving an IV, looking pitiful. I almost pitied her if it weren't for the snacks that other people in the ward had given her. Being beautiful would make one popular wherever they went.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Jane glared at me with her beautiful eyes. "You heartless bitch. Wasn't I standing up for you?"

"I'm not actually upset."

After what happened during the past couple of days, I had gotten used to it.

Jane peeled an orange to toss into her mouth, which I snatched away. "The doctor said you that you can't eat too much cold food."

She watched helplessly as I ate the orange. "Whose seed is Jessica carrying in her belly?"

"Not Ryan's."

What Ryan said to me in the car last night didn't sound like a lie.

And if Jessica really was pregnant with the Frost family's child, she wouldn't just cause trouble for me She would cause trouble for the Frost family, at least to my father-in-law. Considering his favoritism towards her, he would fight for her status, even if it meant angering Grandpa.

I heard that my father-in-law only cared about Jessica,

Compared to Jessica, Ryan seemed more like a burden.

His mother was gone and his father didn't love him at all.

"That's good." Jane lay back in bed, holding her stomach. "I suppose so. Even if Ryan loves her dearly, he wouldn't be foolish enough to rush into fatherhood."

However, she didn't anticipate that within a couple of days, her words would be contradicted.
