Ex-husband’s Regret (Ryan and Charlotte) novel Chapter 9

Chapter

Every move they made felt like a slap in the face to me

My heart ached more and more

I had imagined such a scene countless times

As I watched what was happening, I began to feel cold even though I was at home

Charlotte, you’re awake!Jessica said with a smile when she turned around and saw me. Come and have a taste of Ryan’s cooking. I promise you it’s delicious.” 

As soon as she said those words, she began placing dishes on the dining table as if she were the hostess of the house

I took a deep breath, walked past her, looked at Ryan, and asked, Why is she in our house?” 

Ryan brought out the last dish, removed his apron, and said coldly,She’ll get lost after having lunch.” 

How can you be so heartless? Are you really going to kick me out of the house?Jessica glared at him

That’s enough, Jessica! I’ll kick you out myself if I get any more from you!Ryan’s was dark and sounded like his patience had run out

You’re so mean,Jessica mumbled as she dragged me over to the dining table

It was as if she wasn’t the person who was crying and asking my husband to divorce me. She made it seem like she wasn’t the one who tried to take my husband away from me yesterday

was 

Ryan a good cook. Everything he made had great looks and taste 

I wasn’t hungry, but I had to make sure my child

nutrients

+15 BONUS 

Since Jessica had no shame, what had I got to worry about

With that thought in mind, I sat down and began to eat

The taste is quite nice, right?Jessich asked quietly

Yep, definitely. Ryan would normally be the person who does the cooking when he’s at home,I replied with a smile

show Jess a who was the 

I was lying, of course. I was just trying to show Jess hostess of the house using such methods

Jessica glanced at Ryan. I didn’t expect you to treat others so well as well.” 

Can’t you just shut up and eat your food?Ryan snorted and then placed some food on my plate

Jessica snorted as well and said to me casually, Do you know why he’s such a good cook? It was because I taught him. Especially the fried eggs. That’s my favorite dish. He would put in a lot of effort when making this dish. By the way, his spaghetti bolognese is delicious as well. However, he used to make that for me every day, so I got sick of it. That’s why he would only make it when he doesn’t want to spend too much time cooking now.” 

My fingers turned white from holding the cutlery too hard. My nails dug into the palms of my hands

It seemed that even the spaghetti bolognese that I loved was something that others didn’t want

I then remembered when I asked him where he learned to cook on the night of our wedding anniversary. He was in a daze for around 30 seconds

What was he thinking of during those 30 seconds

Was he thinking of the days when he learned cooking with Jessica or was he just thinking about Jessica

+15 BONUS 

Technically speaking, you have to thank me for having such a good husband who knows how to cook,Jessica continued

I couldn’t take it anymore, so I slammed the cutlery on the table and forced a meaningful smile on my face. Really? So do you want him to take care of you because your marriage didn’t end up so good? Ryan, I didn’t expect you to have a hobby of taking care of other people’s wives

I stared at Ryan whilst saying those words

Charlotte Wilson, what are you talking about?Jessica was infuriated. She turned to look at Ryan with red eyes. We’re supposed to be family,. Ryan. Can’t you have members of your family around you after you’re married?” 

Are you full? I’ll get Gary to give you a lift,said Ryan. He didn’t even spare her a glance

Are you going to help her bully me as well?Tears immediately

streamed down Jessica’s face. Her eyes were filled with disbelief and she looked pitiful. Are you sure you don’t want me anymore?” 

You should remember what you’ve promised me. If you need any help in the future, you can just contact Gary,Ryan said indifferently

Jessica’s shoulders began to tremble as if she was hurt badly

Seeing that Ryan wasn’t moved at all, she began to laugh. She then said sulkily, Fine, I understand now. I won’t disturb you anymore. Whether I live or die in the future has nothing to do with you anymore either!” 

Jessica stood up and left with her suitcase

Gary had been waiting for her in the car. When he saw her coming out, he quickly got out of the car to help her with the suitcase

Ryan didn’t even look at her during this whole time

I was surprised at how fast he had set boundaries for Jessica

3/7 

1 only found on about tha 

ship last night and he had cut ties 

i was almost too hard for me to believe how fast things were 

What are you looking at? Eat your food.Ryan rubbed my head and pulled me back to my senses 

He made it look as if we had never fallen out

For the whole of that day, he kept me company. He would accompany me whenever I went to the courtyard for a walk or feed the fish

When i worked on my designs, he would deal with matters at work next 

to me 

He didn’t say it, but it was obvious that he was trying to comfort me

After taking a shower, the alarm on my phone sounded

then went to put a tablet in my mouth. It was medicine to help protect the baby in my womb

How come you’re on tablets?Ryan walked into the room with a glass of milk

It’s just some supplements.I looked at his dark eyes and said, Can you come to the hospital with me next Saturday? I want to do a checkup and then take you somewhere.” 

It was time for another checkup next Saturday

if Ryan was willing to cut ties with Jessica, then it would count as him making a choice

However, I was still a little worried. I was scared that something would happen, so I didn’t want to tell him about the baby in my womb at the 

moment

If nothing went wrong, then he would find out on the day of the checkup. He would collect the ultrasound report in person and discover for 

himself that he was going to be a father

He would find out that we had a child

With that thought in mind, I began looking forward to the following Saturday

Okay. Does your stomach still hurt? How about we go to the hospital. tomorrow?” 

It’s alright. It’s no big deal.” 

Ever since I began taking the medicine, my stomach ra /ached and there was no bleeding in my private part either. Therefore, I felt that I just needed to go for regular checkups and things would be fine

After hearing those words, Ryan didn’t say anything else. He placed the milk on the bedside table and pulled me into his arms. I’m sorry that you’ve had to suffer grievances over the past couple of days. Please don’t be mad, alright?” 

I felt like he was caressing me like a cat. It was very comfortable
