Ex-husband’s Regret by Lean

Chapter 81

A familiar voice came from not far away.

My father-in-law was wearing colorful sunglasses and a floral shirt. He had clearly just got back from some island getaway, where he had likely been cavorting with women.

A typical playboy who never outgrew his frivolous ways, now aging into a lordly figure.

Jessica spotted him and burst into tears instantly, "Dad... You're finally back. I've been bullied so badly." "Ryan bullied you?"

My father-in-law, John, pushed his sunglasses up to his forehead and looked at Ryan. "I've said it a hundred times, you need to take good care of Jessica. I've only been gone for two days, and she's already at the hospital?"

I couldn't help but feel frustrated and wanted to leave during this lull.

But John suddenly noticed me and smiled contentedly "Charlotte? You're here too."

"Dad."

Out of politeness, I still addressed him as such. Even though in my eyes, he wasn't a qualified father to Ryan.

John nodded. "You two should take care of Jessica."
