Ex-husband’s Regret (Ryan and Charlotte) novel Chapter 433

Chapter 433 

Chapter 433 

I was frozen in place. 

Danny wriggled free from his hold and, like a little beast, rushed back to me, clinging to my legs with tears streaming down his face. “It’s not like that! Uncle, you’re so mean!” 

Hearing this, Frank smiled slightly, fixing his gaze on me. “Am I wrong?” 

I realized that he must have misunderstood something. At that moment, he was probing me, waiting for me to give a contrary answer. This was probably his last chance for me to explain. 

I slowly averted my gaze, crouched down, and hugged the sobbing Danny, wiping away his tears. “Be good, Danny. Uncle said something wrong. Can you give Aunt a little time? Let me explain things to your uncle, okay?” 

The little one blinked his tear–filled long lashes and said in a soft, babyish voice, “Okay…. 

“Jane.” I dialed Jane’s number. 

She answered, puzzled, “What’s up?” 

“Can you come up to the fifth floor first to take Danny to the place where the birthday party will be?” 

“Sure.” Jane noticed something off in my tone and agreed, though she asked with concern, “What’s going 

on?” 

I pursed my lips. “I’ll explain to you in the evening.” 

Soon, Jane arrived to take Danny away. 

Only Frank and I remained–one standing outside the door, the other inside. 

We were locked in a standoff, both displeased. 

I glared at him, licking my dry lips. “Frank, has anyone ever told you that you’re very immature?” 

He had many good qualities, but his sharp tongue and harsh words were not among them. He couldn’t speak gently. 

When we were young, unless I cried my heart out, he rarely spoke to me in a civilized manner. 

But then again, I was the same way as a child–arrogant and domineering. 

We were the same kind of people when we were born, but the past 20 years had changed and refined me. 

We had become completely different people. 

Frank pressed his tongue against his cheek. “Charlotte, you can’t even offer an explanation and you’re already lecturing me?” 

“I wouldn’t dare.” I smiled faintly and looked at him. “Is it still about what happened two years ago?” 

“Yes.” 

“You launched an investigation on me?”

“Yes.” 

“What did you find?” 

“What do you think?” 

Hearing this question, I fell silent.

In the past two years, aside from looking for him, studying with Dave, and treating my depression, I can honestly say I did nothing else. 

Yet, he was angry. 

My phone suddenly rang, displaying Jack’s name. 

Frank’s expression grew even colder, and I instantly understood what he was angry about. 

Summoning some unknown courage, I took a step forward, ignoring his indifferent expression, and stood right in front of him.
