Ex-husband’s Regret (Ryan and Charlotte) novel Chapter 419

Chapter 419 

Ryan remained silent for quite a while. 

I couldn’t tell what he was thinking. After a significant pause, he spoke softly, “Did it hurt?” 

I shook my head. “It doesn’t hurt anymore.” 

He shook his head as well. “No, I mean, did it hurt at the time?” 

“It was okay.” I licked my lips. “It wasn’t the most painful thing for me.” 

“I remember…” Ryan’s voice had a nasal quality. “You were afraid of needles even when getting blood drawn.” 

I chuckled lightly. “I was afraid of pain back then, but not so much anymore.” 

Later on, one thing after another made me realize that pain was the simplest and most straightforward thing. There was nothing to be afraid of. 

Plus, being trapped in depression and having secretly stopped my medication when I first arrived in Frankes, I couldn’t control my emotions. At that time, I didn’t even have the luxury to think about pain, The knife was already in the wound before I even realized it 

As I spoke, the car had already parked in the driveway, and the driver got out to open my door. I picked up my handbag, lifted the hem of my dress, and got out of the car. I took a few steps and looked at Ryan, who had also gotten out of the car. “Thank you for the ride. I’ll go find Ms. Jackson now.” 

Without waiting for his response, I walked away in my high heels. 

The moment I turned around, I suddenly realized how different I had become from before. 

It was hard to pinpoint exactly what had changed. 

Entering the event venue, I took a quick glance around. Most of the attendees were well–known stars and directors. Only a few fresh faces, newly debuted actors, looked unfamiliar. They were probably brought along by some bigwig to make connections. 

Yasmin was holding a highball glass, casually standing in an inconspicuous spot, yet she was surrounded by many people. 

“Charlotte.” 

Yasmin seemed to have been keeping an eye on the entrance. As soon as she saw me, she waved and called out, “Come over here!” 

“Ms. Jackson.” I approached with a smile and then noticed that the dress she was wearing was the same one I had worn at the fashion week. “This dress…” 

“Yes!” Yasmin smiled casually. “It’s your design. It just arrived in the country the day before yesterday. 

How does it look on me?” 

J genuinely praised her. “It looks perfect!” 

‘Ms. Jackson.”

Someone I didn’t know spoke up and looked at me. “Is this person a fashion designer?” 

“What do you think?” 

Yasmin smiled and, familiar with the situation, pulled me over and put her arm around my shoulder before introducing me, “Joanne spent a lot of effort bringing this talented designer from abroad. She’s Dave’s last student, Elena, with the Cherian name, Charlotte.”
