Ex-husband’s Regret (Ryan and Charlotte) novel Chapter 226

Chapter 226 

It wasn’t sadness, just envy. 

If my mom were still here, she would definitely protect me. 

‘Mom. Mom… I misses you so much. 

“What are you crying for?” 

Suddenly, from behind a large pillar in the car park, Frank walked out and frowned. “Weren’t you determined to divorce him? After chatting with him for a bit, you can’t bear to leave again?” 

I hastily wiped away my tears and sniffed. “No. It’s just that the wind outside was too strong and I got sand in my eyes.” 

“Oh.” 

Seeing through my excuse in one glance, he said sarcastically, “With that kind of crying, you really can’t tolerate any sand in your eyes.” 

‘What a cliché.‘ 

Despite my terrible mood, his cliché still helped. “Weren’t you waiting for me in the car? Why are you here?” 

“The car was stuffy.” 

He tossed off these three words and swaggered ahead. 

Once inside the car, warmth enveloped me instantly, and I belatedly realized that I had been freezing from head to toe. 

I was freezing. 

The silver–gray Pagani roared to life and swiftly merged onto the main road. 

Sorting out my thoughts, I asked, “Why did you bring me today?” 

Initially, I thought it was simply to have a female companion. 

Then I thought maybe it was to recruit me as an actress.

Frank glanced at me from the corner of his eye. “What do 

“To make me see the truth, not to compete with your adopted sister for a man,” I replied. 

“Foolish.” 

“Huh?”

“Didn’t you say I ruined your plan that day?” He casually draped one hand over the window sill and steered with the other. “Now I’m returning it to you.” 

After hearing those words, I understood. 

He brought me here to show me how determined the Shaw family was to have Ryan as their son–in- law. 

That way, the process of divorcing Ryan could be accelerated. 

Glancing at him, I asked, “Should I thank you for that?” 

“Sure. Buy me a meal or kneel down and kowtow, your choice.” 

Helplessly, I said, “I really can’t tell that a person like you can be so passionate about someone.” 

Frank’s jaw tightened for a moment, then he chuckled lightly. “Your way of complimenting people is quite unique.” 

“Embarrassing the Shaw family like this face–to–face today, is that alright with you?” I asked casually. 

“What could happen? At most, my dad will scold me a bit, but he wouldn’t really do anything else. If he hits me, my grandpa will chase after him with his walking stick to hit him back.” 

It seemed like he was quite experienced in this regard.
