Ex-husband’s Regret

Tears streamed down my face in an instant as I tremblingly took the velvet box.

Opening it, I saw two brilliant jade sculptures. One had floating flower patterns, the other did.

not.

This grade of jadeite was hard to come by. It showed how much Grandpa cared.

I carefully closed the lid and took a deep breath. When did Grandpa find out about my pregnancy?"

He knew long ago, but to take care of my emotions, he never asked me.

Grandpa had passed away, but I still felt how much he cared.

Albert said, "After the last family banquet, Mr. William had someone check your medical records... Don't blame him. He was only afraid of your health problems and worried about your intentionally hiding it from him."

I

"Why would I blame..." I cried harder. "I only blame myself."

If I had told Grandpa earlier, he could have been happier for a while longer.

He didn't need to be so careful and afraid to even ask me.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

"Bringing an heir to the Frost family is already a good thing. Even if the old man has passed away, he would be happy."

Albert tried to comfort me, recalling what Grandpa had entrusted him with. "By the way, Mr! William mentioned before that if one day you can't get along with Mr. Frost, you can take the child away. The Frost family will provide you with the necessary money."

I was completely stunned, unable to speak anymore. I mouth became bitter.

So... it was always me being too cautious. Grandpa never thought of taking away the child's

custody.

"Just..." Albert became a little hesitant. 'Grandpa still hoped that you and Mr. Frost can live happily together."

"Okay, I understand." I took a deep breath, letting tears flow freely down my face. "About the child... please keep it secret for me."

Albert nodded solemnly. "You can rest assured."

Leaving Grandpa's room, I felt somewhat lost.

Suddenly, I understood Ryan's guilt towards Grandpa.

Back in the bedroom, Ryan had just come out of the shower with wet hair. His gaze fell on

me, brows slightly furrowed. "Why are you crying again?"

"Ryan." I closed my eyes, trying hard to control my tears. "The promise you made the day before yesterday, does it still count?"

He seemed more sober after the shower, his dark eyes fixed on me. "It does."

"You won't disappear just because of a phone call from her?"

His voice was steady and deep. "I won't." @

"If you can keep it up until the end of the cooling-off period, our marriage can continue." I looked up at him. "But if you can't, once the cooling-off period ends, I'll go get the divorce certificate straight away."

As soon as I finished speaking, he suddenly pulled me into his arms, gently rubbing his cheek. against my hair, as if treating a precious treasure recovered, causing me to feel a moment of dizziness. "We can start over."

I didn't respond.

I dared not easily trust him with those words anymore.

I tried hard to keep myself rational, not to get carried away easily, and said softly, "Before that, let's... not live in the same room anymore. Are you moving out or am I? I'll let Brenda

know in advance."

He froze for a moment and then kept rubbing my hair. "We won't go back to Moon Lake Bay, We'll stay in the old mansion. Are you sure you want Grandpa to see us living separately while still being married.?"
