Ex-husband’s Regret by Lean

Chapter 234

"He is Jessica's ex-husband." Ryan understood what I meant and explained softly, "This time, it's time for her to learn her lesson."

At his words, I understood.

Previously, due to my grandpa's dislike, Jessica had relied on

brazenness to attend family banquets at the Frost family's old mansion, so I had never met Jessica's ex-husband.

Now, treating her the way she treated others, even if it caused a scene, others would only think they were having a lover's spat.

I believed in the principle of not offending others unless provoked, but if she wished me dead, I wouldn't show mercy either. Seeing me lost in thought, Ryan rubbed my head gently. "Are you hurt?"

I shook my head. "No."

Thinking back to the scene in the room, I still felt a lingering fear, and my hands were trembling slightly.

Ryan's eyes darkened, and unexpectedly, I sensed a tinge of concern from him.

He patiently held me, gently rubbing my back, softly reassuring, "It's okay now. You're safe, I'm here."

After a while, I finally calmed down, feeling some strength returning to my body, and moved to a nearby seat.

Somewhat surprised, I spoke up, "You actually believed me."

I didn't expected that.
