Ex-husband’s Regret (Ryan and Charlotte) novel Chapter 87

Chapter 87 

Albert urgently spoke, “Mrs. Frost! Please come back quickly. Grandpa is furious and wants to beat Mr. Frost. Only you can talk him out of it.” 

“What?” 

Just hearing the first half of the sentence, I sprang up, grabbed a coat, and headed out. 

It wasn’t so much about worrying for Ryan. 

Although Grandpa had more than one grandson besides Ryan, he cared for him the most. Even if he were to lay hands on him, there would be degrees of severity, and it wouldn’t be life–threatening. But Grandpa’s health was important, and it was best not to upset him unnecessarily. Unless absolutely necessary, Albert wouldn’t be this anxious. 

Albert said, “You’ll see when you get back!” 

Regardless of my thoughts, when I arrived at the Frost family’s residence, I was still stunned. 

In the study, Ryan, who had once been dignified and composed, was now kneeling on the floor, unable to straighten up from the beating. His forehead was throbbing with veins, and he could only support himself on the edge of the ebony tea table to avoid collapsing on the ground. 

Even more unexpectedly, Jessica was also present. 

I wanted to speak, but Grandpa, who had always been kind to me. He turned to Albert and asked in a cold, voice, “Did you call Charlotte?” 

“Yes.” Albert could only admit it. 

“You’re acting on your own again!” 

Grandpa shouted angrily, “Everyone, get out!” 

“Grandpa…” 

I still wanted to persuade him, fearing that his anger might harm him. 

Grandpa waved his hand. “Don’t worry. They won’t make me that mad. You go out and wait.” 

Hearing this, I had no choice but to leave with Albert. 

As we walked away, I heard Grandpa sneer. “You’re just as clueless as your mother, aren’t you? Get out!” 

Jessica spoke softly, “Grandpa, what’s the use of beating Ryan like this? Charlotte willingly initiated the divorce. Moreover, you’ve already given her a house. Ryan is your grandson, while Charlotte is just an outsider. 

“Shut up!” Grandpa shouted angrily, glaring at Ryan. “Is this the woman you like? She’s not only morally bankrupt and petty, but she doesn’t even understand basic human decency.” 

Enduring the pain, Ryan gritted his teeth, “Grandpa told you to leave. Didn’t you hear?” 

“I heard.” 

Although Jessica was irritated, she didn’t dare to be as willful as she was in private in front of Grandpa.

Soon, she also walked out gracefully, passing by me and Albert with an expression that betrayed no anger. 

Albert frowned and looked at me, explaining kindly, “Don’t misunderstand. Grandpa’s anger wasn’t directed at you just now.” 

“I know.” 

I lowered my eyes and asked, “Does Grandpa know about our divorce?” 

“Yeah.” 

Albert nodded. “A few days ago, when you and Mr. Frost went to the Civil Affairs Bureau, Grandpa received the news.” 

Seeing my bewildered expression, Albert sighed. “Grandpa had already guessed that you might proceed with the formalities earlier, and he had informed the others.” 

Upon hearing this, everything suddenly became clear to me. 

I had been rash in recent days, but I should have realized that with the Frost family’s influence, Grandpa would be aware of every move we made. 

Albert noticed my guilt and added, “But Grandpa’s anger wasn’t because of that.” 

I looked up. “Then what was it?” 

“The person downstairs.”
