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..."

I was on the verge of collapse, crying and nodding repeatedly. "Grandpa, did Jessica say something to you? Otherwise, why would you suddenly fall ill..."

A trace of disgust and anger flickered in Grandpa's eyes, but he sighed in the end. "Just remember what Grandpa said."

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

Choking up, I spoke, afraid to ask another word, fearing I might anger Grandpa again.

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..."
