Ex-husband’s Regret by Lean

Chapter 223

Because she had a point. It was her birthday party after all. She had the right to decide on every guest. Before I could speak, Frank lightly glanced at her and casually made up a story. "I begged her for a long time before she agreed to grace me with her presence. Now you want to kick her out?"

With these few words, he instantly eased my embarrassment.

Hearing this, Bethany pouted unhappily. "Since when did you become so close with her..."

Frank lowered his eyes with a hint of sarcasm, "Do I need to report to you?"

"Then didn't you know Ryan would come? You brought her here just to embarrass me...'

"Alright!" The middle-aged lady smiled gently and intervened. "You two, always quarreling since childhood, haven't you had enough?"

Her tone and expression were both gentle.

She continued, teasing Bethany, "You're already a grown up, thinking of marrying Ryan, yet still so childish?"

As I heard this, my gaze inadvertently met Ryan's dark eyes.
