Ex-husband’s Regret (Ryan and Charlotte) novel Chapter 74

Chapter 74 

I was slightly taken aback. “Maybe.” 

As adults, especially at such a critical moment, we would obviously think about each other’s actions. 

But what I always wanted was never to have both the carrot and the stick. 

It was too boring. 

If there was no mutual understanding, then it would be best for each other to go our own ways. That was the best choice. 

Today was not a drinking session but a card game. 

When we were approaching the door of the private room, I suddenly wanted to go to the toilet. I informed Jane and headed towards the toilet. 

After taking care of my needs, as soon as I turned the corner outside the restroom, I came face to face. with Jack. 

He happened to see me too. He cocked his brows and smiled. “I saw your name on the competition list submitted by the Frost family. I’m looking forward to the day we will be working together.” 

Feeling a bit embarrassed, I smiled and replied, “Jack, I’m just participating. Can…” 

Mid–sentence, a large hand suddenly wrapp 

around my shoulders from behind, pulling me in forcefully. 

The man looked at Jack with a stern gaze and a cold smile on his face. 

“Do you have a habit of picking other people’s wives to work with?” 

“What nonsense are you talking about?” I glared at him, then turned apologetically to Jack. “Jack, he’s just joking. Please don’t mind.” 

“Whether I’m joking or not, he knows.” Ryan dropped this line, his hand sliding from my shoulder down to my arm, pulling me in the opposite direction. 

I instantly felt irritated. “Ryan, what are you doing!” 

The man was dressed in a high–end black suit, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs. He walked with large strides. 

His imposing aura made people feel intimidated, cold, and stern. 

Hearing my words, he didn’t pause or hesitate. Instead, he tightened his grip even more, leaving me no room to break free. 

I could only stumble along behind him, intending to ask Jack to inform Jane, but I met Jack’s cold, profound gaze. The next moment, it returned to normal, looking at me gently. 

It was almost like it was my illusion. 

Before I could say anything, I was taken around a corner, and Jack disappeared from my sight. 

“Ryan! What do you think you’re doing…. 

The man pushed open the door of a private room, dragging me inside!

In the next instant, he had pressed me against the thick solid wood door. 

Raising my head, I met his mocking expression, his thin lips curved into a sneer. “Are you reluctant to leave?” 

I felt suffocated and helpless. “You’re feeling guilty yourself, so you think everyone else has a problem too. 

He sneered. “What do I have to feel guilty about?” 

“You know what I’m talking about,” I said without hesitation. 

In any case, Jack shouldn’t be involved in our mess. 

Ryan gritted his teeth, and leaned in close, his lips almost touching mine. “Are you in such a hurry to defend your lover?”
