Ex-husband’s Regret by Lean

Chapter 166

Ryan's dark eyes glanced at me, as if hoping I would step back.

I smiled faintly, firmly stating first, "What she said is true. We'll send her away by tomorrow night at the

latest."

"I don't want an answer from you..."

Ignoring my words, Lauren stared only at Ryan, looking like she couldn't bear to face the truth. "Ryan, tell Ms. Wood, is it true?"

Perhaps my gaze was too direct, but despite his discomfort, Ryan spoke in a deep voice. "It's true."

"Mom, did you hear that!"

Jessica cried out, "Ryan clearly promised you he would take care of me, but now he's siding with outsiders to bully us."

Ryan's face turned cold. "Charlotte is my wife, not an outsider!"

"You're getting divorced!"

Jessica's face was streaked with tears as she emphasized firmly.

As if she was the one who had been wronged.

Ryan frowned, feeling displeased. "Until the divorce certificate is in hand, she remains my wife."

I was somewhat surprised that he emphasized our relationship like this to Jessica.

"Enough." Lauren interrupted their argument, her face showing a plea. "Ryan, regardless of Ms. Wilson's relationship with you, isn't Jessica still a member of your family? She's just a girl who has been spoiled by me and your dad since childhood. If you send her abroad alone, it could be fatal for her. She's my only daughter. If anything happens to her, how can I bare to live with myself..."

She seemed on the verge of tears.
