Ex-husband’s Regret (Ryan and Charlotte) novel Chapter 456

Chapter 456 

“Felix?” 1 frowned. “I’m not Mrs. Frost, and I don’t know you. Please step aside.” 

“Do you know Mr. Frost then?” 

Felix didn’t seem to have any ill intent. His tone even had a hint of ingratiation as he explained, “Don’t worry, I mean no harm.” 

I took a step back, looking at him in confusion. “So who are you…?” 

From his words, it seemed like he was quite familiar with Ryan. But what he wanted from me was unclear. 

Felix took on a sympathetic tone. “Mrs. Frost, I know you and Mr. Frost just divorced not long ago, but don’t you think it’s a bit of a pity?” 

“Huh?” I looked at him and sneered. “Are you bored or something?” 

Felix chuckled awkwardly. “Please don’t be angry. I saw Mr. Frost looking lost and disheartened over you the other day. I’m just afraid you might miss out on such a good man.” 

“Did he send you?” I asked. 

Ryan wouldn’t use such an indirect approach. 

Felix quickly shook his head. “Of course not. It’s just… it’s been a while since the divorce. No matter the reason for it, you must have calmed down by now. Have you considered getting back together?” 

“Mr. Frost must still have feelings for you!” 

“Ma’am, whether a woman’s life is good or not depends on finding a good man. With someone like Mr. Frost, who only has eyes for you, you should hold on tight!” 

Felix went on and on, desperately trying to persuade me. “Women can have their tantrums, but if it goes too far, it might give other women a chance to swoop in. Mrs. Frost, you look like a smart person. Being the honorable Mrs. Frost in Jelaston is much better than being an unseen mistress here, don’t you think?”

Tignored most of his words, only catching the last part. ‘Mistress? 

Felix was taken aback. “Did Mr. Smith not even acknowledge you as a mistress?” 

His line of reasoning left me momentarily speechless. I said coldly, “I have a pretty good idea of why you’re trying so hard to persuade me to reconcile with Ryan. It’s probably for personal favors or projects, right? But I advise you not to waste your effort here. As for my relationship with my boyfriend, you needn’t worry about it.” 

I looked at him and said, “Get ou of my way!” 

“You…” 

Seeing that I wasn’t taking his advice, Felix got a bit irate. “Do you really think so highly of yourself? Aren’t you just a bitch who won’t feel satisfied? You’re keeping Mr. Frost hanging while being ambiguous with Mr. Smith, and acting all high and mighty in front of me?” 

Hearing this, I nearly laughed in anger. “It seems you’ve done this kind of thing a lot. You’re quite good at projecting your own issues onto others, huh? Don’t you think you sound more like a bitch?” 

That was human nature. People would think others have the same dark side. 

Having said that, I didn’t want to waste any more time with such a person. I turned and planned to go around to another unit door. 

“Charlotte!” Felix called out. “Do you really think someone like Mr. Smith will have any lasting novelty for you?” 

He sneered. “Could it be that you’re still foolishly dreaming of marrying into the Smith family? That’s hilarious. I can’t wait to see your reaction when you fail…” 

I quickened my pace, and just as I was about to turn the corner, I felt a firm grip on my wrist! 

I was startled and looked back, meeting Frank’s brown eyes. I sighed in relief. You scared me!” 

Frank cocked his brows. “What’s the rush? Did you see a ghost?”

“Yes, a ghost!” I glared at him. “The ghost was accusing me of being your mistress!” 

Frank frowned. “What does that mean?” 

“Someone had been waiting for me” 

I took his large hand and headed toward the elevator as I continued, “He was being unreasonable, thinking I was your mistress, saying you’d lose interest in me soon, and telling me not to foolishly dream of marrying into the Smith family…” 

I didn’t mention Felix’s attempts to persuade me to reconcile with Ryan. Frank had already had a rough day dealing with the Smith family’s matters, and there was no need to add to his frustration. 

knew well enough which path I needed to take from now on. 

Unexpectedly, while I was mumbling, Frank, distracted by his phone, muttered the last few words, “So, do you want to?” 

“What do you mean?” I asked instinctively. 

Frank smirked. “Do you want to foolishly dream of marrying me?” 

I gave him a reproachful look. “Are you proposing?” 

“Of course not!” Frank quickly denied it and then, without gentleness, ruffled my hair. “Proposals can’t be this hasty. At the very least, I should be the one to bring up the topic.” 

His touch soothed my annoyance caused by Felix, and I looked at him with a smile. “Well, you’re considerate.” 

He wrapped his arm around me as we entered the elevator. “So, is there a reward for being so considerate?” 

“What do you want? I can give you anything as long as it doesn’t bankrupt me.” 

“Kiss me.” He pointed to his right cheek. 

I instinctively glanced at the surveillance camera above and gritted my teeth. ” There’s surveillance!”
