Ex-husband’s Regret (Ryan and Charlotte) novel Chapter 235

Chapter 235 

I didn’t hear everything clearly, but I understood clearly what he was trying to express. 

A part of me that had been calm for a long time almost collapsed again. 

Nails scraped across the palm. 

A subtle pain awakened a hint of rationality. “Is it dry now?” 

Ryan seriously ran his fingers through my hair a few times. “Yeah, it’s almost done.” 

The sound of the hairdryer disappeared, leaving the room quiet. 

I nodded. “Okay… thank you.” 

Suddenly, he hugged me from behind, his lips against my ear, 

cautiously and ambiguously probing, “Did you hear what I said, even a little?” 

A–proud man like him might have been apologizing like this for the first 

time. 

Different from the casually insincere “I’m sorry” in the past, this time, he had truly let go of his dignity. 

I wanted to surrender at this moment, but I was too afraid, afraid of repeating the same mistakes, afraid of being like a moth to a flame. 

Suppressing the bitterness in my heart, prompted by reason, I said, “I heard. But, Ryan, some choices once made cannot be undone. Once you shoot the arrow, there’s no turning back.”

He stared at me unwillingly. “Getting rid of me after you’re done?” 

His gaze made me feel guilty. “Then what do you want?” 

“I still want to cook you a meal, as a practical apology.” 

“Fine, go ahead!” 

After saying that, I bypassed him and went straight out of the bathroom, burying myself in work, trying to distract myself. 

When Ryan came out to cook, he glanced at the documents on my desk, “Are you selling the house to start a company?” 

“Yeah.” 

He would find out sooner or later, there was no need to hide it. “But it 

seems difficult to sell the house. The agent said that every time someone viewed it, they would very satisfied, but then there’s no follow- 

up.” 

Such a situation made me feel puzzled. 

The house had an excellent location and layout, hadn’t been lived in for long, and I had taken good care of it, so it was practically new. 

It shouldn’t be difficult to sell. 

Ryan rubbed his nose and looked away. “Since that’s the case, why did

you return the money I transferred to you?” 

“I don’t want any unclear entanglements with you. You should focus on the Frost Group’s affairs,” I said truthfully. “And Jane is looking for investors. If we can find one, that would work too.” 

“Okay,” he responded thoughtfully, turned around, picked up a bag of fresh meat and eggs from the dining table, and went into the kitchen to 

cook. 

Thanks to Jessica’s influence, he indeed had good culinary skills.
