Ex-husband’s Regret

Grandma chuckled lightly. "I know, I know."Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

"Okay." I then turned to Frank. "Let's go home. First, let's drop Jane off."

Unexpectedly, Jane waved her hand. "I'll stay here. I have nothing to do, so I'll stay at the hospital with Grandma. That way, you won't have to worry about not being able to eat or sleep properly at home, affecting the growth and development of my goddaughter." I couldn't help but laugh. "You're exaggerating."

"If I say it's necessary, it is." Jane pushed me out of the ward. "It's getting late. Go home, take a bath, and get a good night's sleep. Remember to bring me my food tomorrow afternoon!"

"Alright, I'll bring them for you," I agreed, feeling a bit touched. "Thank you, Jane."

I knew that asking me to bring lunch was just a way to help me feel more at ease.

Jane pretended to be unhappy. "What? Now that you have a man, you're being distant with your best friend?"

I quickly denied, "No, not at all!"

Jane cocked her brows. "Since it's not the case, why don't you hurry up and take your man home?"

"Understood, I'll get out of your sight right now!"

I pulled Frank out of the room with me.

When we got back to Region Gardens, it was almost 10 o'clock.

I washed my hands and then went into the bathroom with a bathrobe.

Just after finishing my shower and turning off the shower-head, the bathroom door suddenly opened.

I was startled and quickly grabbed the bathrobe to cover myself, staring at Frank in shock. "What are you doing? Get out!"

Instead of leaving, Frank not only stayed but began unbuttoning his shirt, his bold gaze locked on me as if he could see through the bathrobe and see me completely.

The corners of his eyes were slightly reddened. "Didn't you say you would help me take a shower?"

I was bewildered. "When did I say that?"

As soon as I finished speaking, I realized what he was referring to.

"I can help you wash, but can you sleep well tonight?"

He had seized that chance.

What a scheming man he was!

Seeing my change in expression, Frank cocked his brows. "Do you remember now?"

"I..." I came to my senses, only to see him quickly undressing, revealing his well-defined muscles. My face

turned bright red as I looked down!

"Why are you undressing so thoroughly?"

"To take a shower," he said meaningfully, striding over and leaning in close, his breath warm against my ear. "And to do something else."

Through the bathroom mirror, I could see my whole face visibly flushed.

I couldn't decide if it was because of his shameless teasing or if I was embarrassed by his casual

advances.

Before I could think it through, his large hand was on my lower back.

His kiss was soft and tender.

I couldn't help but shiver, wanting to push him away but unable to bring myself to do it.

Moreover, when he suspected I was pregnant, he had been cautious and only came once to avoid harming me. Now that I was pregnant, he would certainly be more careful. But I still underestimated him.

I didn't expect he would have other tricks up his sleeve.

When he held me to prevent me from running away, I could only threaten him with the baby. "I'm pregnant!

Frank's warm breath was all over my ear, making me feel weak. "I know."

I wanted to struggle, but he had cut off all my escape routes.

"Didn't you say you would help me take a shower? Are you planning on going back on your word?"

After staying up too late and being too tired, I woke up the next morning with the sun already high in the sky.

Groggily waking up, I looked at the time and was instantly jolted awake, seeing Frank already awake. I was annoyed. "Why didn't you wake me up?"

I had promised to bring lunch to Jane!

Before he could reply, I threw off the covers and got out of bed. Since Region Gardens was close to the hospital, I thought I could still make it if I hurried. Frank quickly grabbed me and said, "Don't rush, take it slow."

He glanced at the time and added, "Your good friend has probably already had her lunch."

"She's had them?" I realized. "Did you arrange for someone to deliver them?"

He didn't confirm or deny but cocked his brows. "Anyway, she should be quite happy."

I was stunned. "You... didn't have Zachary deliver them, did you?"

He gave me a "guess for yourself" look.

I was immediately sure of it.

When I went to the hospital later, I would have something to gossip about!

However, Jane seemed to have guessed my intentions, When I arrived at the hospital, I was met with disappointment.

Only Grandma was in the ward.

Grandma saw me looking for Jane and said, "Jane went to her office. She said that you still owe her a

meal."

I smiled lightly. "She's asking for too much."

I opened the lunchbox. "Frank specially asked Dr. Travis for a recipe. Julie made this for you. Try it."

As I spoke, I served a bowl to Grandma.

Grandma took the bowl and remarked, "Frank seems indifferent to everything, but when it comes to anything related to you, he's very attentive."

I felt warmth in my heart. "Yes..."

"That's great."

Grandma looked at me and smiled. "My little Lily has family, a lover, and friends, and will soon have a child. Everything will be fine and you'll finally be happy. "You're right." I sat by the bed, smiling. "I'm very happy, so I want to share my good fortune with Grandma. Let's all be happy."

Grandma placed a stray hair by my ear. "Okay."

In the following days, Frank left early and returned late.

Jane said that his father was restless even while lying in bed. He would always try to find something to do to make Frank unhappy.

The Smith family was a complicated family, and I couldn't be of much help. I could only take care of myself and Grandma and avoid adding to his troubles.

I want him to be able to focus on dealing with the Smith family's issues.

During the days I spent with Grandma at the hospital, I also had a prenatal check-up. My HCG levels were doubling well, and the doctor said the embryo was developing very well. I felt reassured.

I just waited for Frank to sort out the Smith family's affairs, and for all the misfortune to pass.

The days ahead should be peaceful and smooth...

On the day Grandma was discharged from the hospital the continuous rain cleared up, and the sky was unexpectedly clear.

However, when we got back to Region Gardens, our good mood was instantly ruined by an unexpected guest.

At the door was Ben. As soon as he saw me helping Grandma out of the elevator, he quickly walked over.
