Ex-husband’s Regret by Lean

Chapter 96

Thought Grandpa might plead for me not to divorce Ryan.

But he didn't.

I could keenly feel Grandpa's life slipping away bit by bit, his voice incredibly weak. "Whatever happens... don't let Jessica marry into our family. Guard the Frost family for me." "I will... I will..."

"Okay... Charlotte remembers, every word."

But seeds of doubt were planted in my heart.

"Dear, don't be sad. Take good care of the child in your belly."

Grandpa used his last bit of strength, smiling kindly at me. "With this, Grandpa can rest in peace..."
