Chapter 23
Otherwise, the Frost Group wouldnât have ended up directly in Ryanâs
hands
âWhat about you? Are you happy? I looked up and asked hesitantly.
âIn these three years of being married to you?â He forced a smile, sighed, and continued, âIâm very happy.â
His answer made me want to cry even more.
Was that regret?
Clearly, if it werenât for Jessica, we could have grown old together.
On the way back, neither of us spoke. We silently understood that saying more wouldnât help.
He couldnât truly change the situation, and I couldnât pretend everything was fine.
It was better to let go, while we still werenât too repulsive of each other.
With the short days and long nights of Autumn, through the car window, his figure was bathed in a golden light by the setting sun.
âIâll walk you up.â When we reached the Lake Garden, he spoke before I could. I didnât refuse.
We went upstairs together, standing at the door, I pursed my lips. âIâm home now, you should go back.â
âAlright.â Ryan nodded lightly, but his feet didnât move.
Ignoring him, I was about to enter the passcode when the door was pulled open from inside, revealing Janeâs bright face. âYouâre back! I heard some noise at the door and thought it was the delivery.â
Seeing Jane in my house, I felt relieved. I said as I walked into the house, âSo you wanted me to come back on an empty stomach to eat takeaway?â

Jack is here too?â

Yeah, this is your housewarming, rig? I thought of holding such a
party for you, but only invited Tom and Jack, I didnât invite others

I just noticed that there were many new decorations and furnishings in The house
It was full of joy
I felt warm in my heart and suddenly felt a sense of belonging to this
apartment
The happy look on Ryanâs face was replaced in an instant by a cold expression
âCharlotte, youâre back?â
Tom, who had been helping Jack in the kitchen, ran out. His playful expression turned nervous when he saw Ryan outside the door.
Ryan casually stuffed his hands into his pockets and looked at Tom with a smile that wasnât a smile, âSo do you know weâre still not divorced yet?â
Wellâ¦
Tom had no choice but to run over and explain, âRyan, I thought you were busyâ¦â
âWell, Iâm not
âThen would you like to join us for the housewarming party
Tom had to force the words out of his mouth. On one hand, there was Ryan, whom he had admired since childhood, and on the other hand,
there was Jane, who was staring at him with a warning.
But I didnât take it seriously. Ryan had been absent for my birthday for the past three years, so why would he suddenly have the intention to attend my housewarming party?
âSure.â
Unexpectedly, before Tom could finish, Ryan agreed, stepping in as if it were his own home.
Everyone present was stunned.
Jack quickly intervened to ease the tension. âItâs better to have more people, itâll be more lively.â
The atmosphere was somewhat cold, but Ryan was unaware, acting as if he were in his own house, looking casually at Jack. âThank you for coming to Charlotteâs housewarming party.â
This statement was a bit ambiguous.
