Ex-husband’s Regret (Ryan and Charlotte) novel Chapter 309

Chapter 309 

I froze. 

There was a mix of surprise and bewilderment. 

Perhaps because the separation had been so undignified and there had been too many humiliations, I couldn’t calmly converse with him after the divorce. 

The final definition of our relationship, for me, was clear, we would go our separate 

ways. 

No one should cause trouble to the other’s life. 

I composed myself and looked at him with a blank expression. “Why are you here?” 

“I…..” 

Ryan flicked the ashes from his cigarette with his long fingers, and for the first time, his cold expression showed a hint of past warmth. “I came to find you.” 

“For what?” I was somewhat puzzled. 

Did he remember me because he went bankrupt? 

Ryan’s gaze was intense and unequivocal, his voice low. “To reconcile. Charlotte, we no longer have any concerns. You can continue to be Mrs. Frost with peace of mind.” 

I was stunned for a moment, then overwhelmed with absurdity. 

What did he take me for? Did he still see me as if we were married? Did he think I’m still the person I was when I believed he was once the light in my life? 

Did he think I would still come and go as he asked? 

With that thought in mind, a bit of anger flared up inside me, and my words came out sharply. “Is it because you went bankrupt and Bethany no longer wants to marry you that you’re thinking of me now?” 

He was momentarily taken aback, patiently explaining, “Charlotte, the reason I did that was because…” 

“What you did doesn’t matter.” I interrupted him uncontrollably, blurting out, “Do you think the issues between us were only about your marriage with Bethany? Did we decide to divorce only after she appeared?” 

Ryan lowered his head. The person who had always been so aloof said softly, “I know. I used to misunderstand that the person you liked was Jack, not me…”

“It wasn’t a misunderstanding.” I smiled cruelly, knowing exactly where to strike for the most pain. “If I had known from the start that the person who helped me was Jack, I might not have fallen for him, but I definitely wouldn’t have fallen for you.” 

It was precisely because of the mistake that I was misled. 

I thought he was a person with a soft heart, which gave me the courage to throw myself 

into the flames. 

Ryan’s tall figure stiffened. His dark eyes locked onto me, visibly panicked. “So you liked me only because of that incident?” 

I pressed my nails into my palms. “Yes!” 

Without that incident, he and I would have been strangers who probably wouldn’t have much to do with each other. 

Even if I developed some affection, it would have been limited to him being a dream guy and I would have been just one amongst many who dreamt about him. 

I would have felt admiration but never love. 

With that, I reached for the electronic lock and opened the door. 

I thought I had been clear enough. Someone as refined as Ryan should understand and walk away. 

To my surprise, as soon as I turned on the lights, his cold body enveloped me from behind. He spun me around and, without warning, attempted to kiss me.
