Ex-husband’s Regret (Ryan and Charlotte) novel Chapter 201

Chapter 201 

I had just finished eating and put down my cutlery. “Did you agree to meet him?” 

“Yeah, I agreed,” replied Jane. 

Jane helped me tidy up the takeaway boxes. “He was too immature a couple of days ago. He wouldn’t listen to what I said. And now, some things can’t be made clear over the phone. It’s better to meet 

again and settle things once and for all.” 

“I agree.” I nodded. “I’m one your side.” 

“Will you come with me?” 

“Sure şure.” I smiled and teased, “If I don’t go with you, what if he kidnapped and sold you?” 

They agreed to meet at the usual private club. 

Jane led the way confidently as we entered. When we reached the door of the private room, I hesitated for a moment. “You go in. If I’m there, it might be awkward for both of you to talk freely. Call me anytime if you need anything, I’ll come in immediately.” 

“Okay.” Jane nodded and pushed open the door. 

I stood outside, watching waiters coming and going with fruit trays and dishes. Feeling out of place, I decided to walk slowly towards the nearby rooftop garden. 

It was winter, and the nights in Jelaston were damp and cold. However, this club had spared no expense. The rooftop garden was beautifully and luxuriously landscaped. There was a rockery, flowing water, and rare plants, creating a vibrant spring–like atmosphere even in the bleak autumn and 

winter. 

Unexpectedly, as I approached a rockery, I faintly heard a familiar voice from behind it. 

The sound of flowing water made it hard to hear clearly. Subconsciously, I took a few steps closer and then distinctly heard Ryan’s cold voice. “Bethany’s matter was your doing, wasn’t it?” 

I was slightly taken aback. 

Who was he asking? 

The matter with Bethany… Did it refer to Bethany wanting to marry him? 

Soon enough, another person gave me the answer. 

With a clear voice tinged with coolness, he said lightly, “Mr. Frost, you have no evidence.” 

“Just as I expected.” Ryan sneered. “Only Charlotte is stupid enough to be fooled by you. Jack, I warn you to stay away from her. She’s simple–minded and no match for your games.” 

“You don’t need to worry about that.” Jack chuckled coldly, but his words were earnest. “I’ve always 

been sincere towards her. Unlike you, who has hurt her time and time again.” 

“What a pity.” Ryan remained composed, his lips curved into a smile. “No matter how sincere you are,

she is still my wife.” 

“Do you think that will bind her forever?” 

“Are you in a hurry?” Ryan chuckled lightly. 

Jack remained calm. “I’m not in a hurry. It’s you who should think about how to handle Bethany. She’s not Jessica. It would be embarrassing to offend the Shaw family.” 

Ryan remained calm and composed. “She’s just a stepdaughter…” 

I was listening intently when suddenly, a hand slapped my shoulder. 

Already nervous, I was startled and gasped, turning to meet a pair of curious eyes!
