Ex-husband’s Regret by Lean

Chapter 6

Jessica's words made me freeze on the spot.

I was completely gobsmacked.

I would sometimes have doubts about their relationship, but my thoughts were proven wrong every time.

Ryan and Jessica weren't related but they were both members of the Frost family. Technically, they were still brother and sister by name.

Besides, both of them were married.

I felt that there was no way that a talented man like Ryan would be involved in such an unbelievable thing.

However, I was wrong. Not too far away, Ryan pinned Jessica to the wall. His cold and disdainful voice sounded. "You did it for me? Y were the one who decided to marry someone else, what right have your got to ask me to do anything?"

"I..."

The two questions rendered Jessica speechless. Tears streamed down her face as she helplessly grabbed the hem of Ryan's clothes.

"I'm sorry, Ryan. Please forgive me this once. Please! I had no choice.

back then..."

"I'm already married."

"Can't you get a divorce?"

Jessica was quite a stubborn person. Her face was filled with sadness. It was as if she would shatter if Ryan said no.

I was surprised at how straightforward she was being. She didn't feel shameful at all.

Her words caused Ryan to laugh angrily. He then said through gnashed teeth, "Marriage may be a game to you, but not to me!"

With that said, he was about to leave. But Jessica grabbed the hem of his clothes and wasn't letting go at all.

I knew how strong Ryan was, so he could definitely break free if he wanted.

I looked at such a scene in a daze for quite a while. I knew I was looking forward to something.

I wanted to see Ryan break free from Jessica's grip and tell her that he had nothing to do with her anymore.

If that happened then our marriage could still have a chance of survival.
