Ex-husband’s Regret by Lean

Ryan almost agreed instantly and didn't hesitate at all.

I wrapped my arms around his neck, curved my lips, and locked gazes with him. "Are you really willing to give10% of the company's shares?" His eyes were clear. "I'm giving the shares to you and not soutsider." At that moment, I had to admit that money was really good at proving loyalty.

All the emotions that I had suppressed during the morning had finally eased.

As if trying to prove something, I asked with a smile, "What about Jessica? Are you willing to give her shares?" He fell silent for a moment and then gavea definite answer. "No." "Seriously?" "Seriously. All I can give her is the director's position." Ryan pulledinto his arms and said in a warm and gentle voice, "I'll get Gary to bring the share transfer agreement in the afternoon. From today onwards, you're one of the Frost Group's shareholders. Everyone else will be working for you." "What about you?" I asked with a smile since I was in a better mood.

He cocked his brows. "What?" "Are you working for me?" "Of course." He smiled and rubbed my head. He then leaned in and whispered in my ear, "I'm at your service both in and out of bed." I blushed at those words and then glared at him.

This was what Ryan was like. He looked like a serious man, cold and distant, but his words could make someone blush easily.

Seeing that my mood had improved, he looked at his watch. "I've got a meeting to go to. It's the weekend tomorrow, let's head back to the Frost family's residence tonight and have dinner with Grandpa. I'll wait for you in the car park." "Okay." I obviously wasn't going to refuse. I gave it sthought and made a decision. "Honey, I have a surprise for you tonight." A few days ago, due to his lie about the necklace, I wasn't sure if I should tell him aboutbeing pregnant.

But now that he could tell the difference in importance betweenand Jessica, I felt that I shouldn't keep such a matter a secret anymore.

"What surprise?" Ryan was very curious and wanted to know the answer right away.

"I'll tell you when I get off work!" I went on my tiptoes and kissed him on the lips.

After doing so, I went back to work and didn't talk to him anymore.

After Ryan had left, I focused my attention on the designs.

Not knowing how long had passed, someone knocked on the door of my office again.

"Cin," I said without raising my head.

"Am I disturbing you, Charlotte?" Jessica's gentle voice sounded.

"A little," I replied honestly.

I didn't like being interrupted during work.

An awkward expression appeared on Jessica's face. She then said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I just found out that the director of the Design Department should have been yours. I accidentally took your position, so I thought I'd cand apologize." "It's alright." Ryan had already made up for it.

10% of the Frost Group's shares was something I couldn't earn in my whole life working as the director of the Design Department.

My calmness and indifference seemed to have surprised Jessica.

"Are you sure you're alright with this? If you feel uncomfortable about it, you can just tell me. I can switch to another department. I don't want to be unhappy because of this." She walked casually to the sofa and sat down. "I'm fine, Jessica. You can stay in the Design Department." Actually, I was just concerned about her causing trouble in other departments. I also didn't want the shares that I just got to be worth nothing.

If Jessica was in the Design Department, I could at least make sure that nothing went wrong.

"That's good to hear. We're a family, so you can just tellif you have any problems. Don't keep everything to yourself." Jessica acted like a caring sister. She caressed her hair and said in a soft voice, "Ryan already said that I could choose any position in the company anyway. He felt that I hadn't worked for so long, so it doesn't really matter which department I go to, it's all the sanyway." I wondered if I was too sensitive or something, but her words madefeel very uncomfortable.

Jessica made it sound like she was the one closest to Ryan and she was his wife.

"Ms. Wilson." Gary saw the door to my office was open, so he knocked and walked in straight after. He then passed the agreement to me. "There are two copies. You can check it and sign it if there aren't any problems. Mr. Frost has already signed it. You can keep one copy for yourself." Ryan was really a man of his word.

"Okay." I opened the agreement and quickly read through it before signing my nand passing one copy back to Gary. I then smiled politely. "Thank you." "Is that a share transfer agreement?" Jessica seemed to have seen the cover of the agreement.

At an angle where I couldn't see, she lost her elegance and her nails were digging deep into the palm of her hand.

Only after hearing Jessica's voice did Gary turn around. He was a little surprised to see her. "Sorry, I didn't see you there Ms. Frost. I won't disturb you anymore. I need to get this agreement back to Mr. Frost." He didn't answer Jessica's question at all and quickly left the room.

Disbelief appeared in Jessica's eyes. "Did Ryan give your shares of the company?" "I don't think there's a need to report such matters to Ms. Frost, right?" After the matter of the necklace, I had a mixture of feelings towards Jessica.

It seemed that I couldn't pretend nothing had happened.

"Charlotte, why do I feel that you have a grudge against me?" Jessica stood up with a helpless expression on her face. "I didn't know if it was the necklace or the matter of the position this tthat made you dislike me, but you have to believethat I've never wanted to take anything from you. I'm not interested in such things either." Looking at how aboveboard she was, my mind was in a little bit of a mess.

In the evening, I dug out the pregnancy test report from inside the cake and placed it in my bag.

I was prepared to head downstairs and tell Ryan that he was going to be a father.

The two of us had a child.

Thinking of how Ryan was going to react to the news and the child in my womb, couldnt help but increase my pace a little. I couldn't wait to share the surprise with him.

The elevator headed straight to the underground car park and I quickly found my way to the black Maybach. Ryan's tall figure was leaning against the car and waiting forpatiently.

I pounced into his arms and could smell the unique scent on him. "Honey, I haven't kept you waiting for long, have I?"

Instead, he "Not at all." He didn't pullinto his arms like before. Instead, he pushedaway uneasily) "Let's get into the car first." "Wait, lettell you the surprise first." I stopped him. "What is it?" He was no longer looking forward to the answer like he was in the afternoon. Instead, he seemed a little distracted.

I frowned but didn't overthink things. I looked into his dark eyes and said seriously, "Ryan, you're going to be..." "Ryan, why aren't you getting into the car?" The passenger side window was suddenly lowered and a voice cutoff.

At that moment, I just happened to lock gazes with Jessica, who was sitting in the car.

I was stunned as I looked at Ryan. I wanted an explanation.

However, Jessica had beaten Ryan to it. She said in a soft voice, "I've sent my car to the garage formaintenance, Charlotte. I'm going to the Frost family's residence as well, so I thought I'd ask Ryan to givea ride. You definitely wouldn't mind, right?" X
