Ex-husband’s Regret by Lean

Chapter 42

"It's exactly what you see in front of you." Grandpa's voice carried a trace of sorrow and regret. "It's our fault. It's the Frost family's fault for Wendy's tragedy. It's my fault that I've not been able to properly discipline my own son."

My late mother-in-law had a beautiful name, Wendy Lawson. After hearing Grandpa's words, I was completely dumbstruck.

It turned out, my mother-in-law didn't die from hard labor. She was pushed down the stairs when she was in her final weeks of pregnancy.

The person who pushed her was none other than Ryan's stepmother, who treated him as her own, and ironically ended up in a coma in an attempt to save him.

My mind was in turmoil. How could she treat Ryan so well and yet be the one who killed his biological mother? It didn't make sense at all.

Before I could sort everything out in my head, Grandpa continued, "I don't understand why she could be so good to Ryan."

"It's all..." Grandpa sneered. "It's all about personal interests."

"After Ryan's mother passed away, your muddled father insisted on marrying Lauren Wood."

"Lauren wrecked the surveillance before taking action, thinking she could get away with it. She cried, made a scene, and even threatened to kill herself just to get me to allow her to marry John." Upon hearing this, I understood. "You had someone repair the surveillance?"

"Yes." Grandpa nodded and gritted his teeth. "But John seemed to be possessed, and despite the evidence in front of him, he insisted on marrying Lauren!"
