Ex-husband’s Regret (Ryan and Charlotte) novel Chapter 100

Chapter 100 

Upon hearing this, I couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment but quickly understood the reason behind 

1. it. 

Jane furrowed his brows tightly, looking at me with confusion, and whispered, “Did Ryan suddenly change?” 

“No,” I replied, watching Jessica being escorted away by the bodyguards, gently pursing my lips. “He’s just feeling guilty and wants to make amends.” 

At the moment of Grandpa’s passing, as his most beloved grandson, Ryan wasn’t by his side. His absence on the day of Grandpa’s death had greatly upset him. How could he not feel guilty, regretful, and self- blaming? 1 

His ultimate way of expressing it was to obey Grandpa’s words and insist that I become the mistress of the Frost family for life. It had nothing to do with me as a person. 

After the funeral, I returned to the old mansion and helped Albert organize Grandpa’s belongings. The servants had already tidied up once, leaving only Grandpa’s everyday clothes. 

Every piece I held in my hands made me feel as if Grandpa hadn’t left. 

As I packed, I pondered and asked, “Albert, are you sure there were medicines in Grandpa’s pockets the day before yesterday?” 

“Definitely. You instructed me, especially when there are temperature changes, to always have medicine/ ready for the old master. So as the weather has gotten colder recently, I’ve been checking every morning. 

After Albert finished answering, he looked at me seriously. “Are you… still suspicious of Jessica?” 

“I can’t say.” I shook my head. 

What Jessica said that day actually made sense. It was chaotic that day, and it was possible for things to fall out at any time. But… my intuition told me that things weren’t that simple. However, I had no evidence, and intuition alone wasn’t enough. And I wasn’t sure if it was because I harbored hostility towards her that. I doubted her. 

Lost in thought, I continued, “During these two days, when the servants were cleaning, did they see any medicine bottles dropped on the ground?” 

Albert thought for a moment and confirmed, “No, they would have informed me about these things that the old master carried with him.” 

He paused slightly, then continued, “I’ll pay more attention. The medicine bottle is small, so if it fell in the courtyard, it might not have been noticed immediately. 

“Okay.” 

Thandled Grandpa’s things carefully, afraid of breaking or damaging anything. Items left by the dead were 

all very valuable. 

When everything was packed, I held a bracelet in my hand and asked, “Albert, can I take this one? I… want to keep it as a memento.” 

This bracelet was often played with by Grandpa during his lifetime. I wanted to keep it close to me, seeing 

it often, and remembering Grandpa. 

Previously, when watching dramas, there was a line about departed ones: “When you talk about me to others and recall me repeatedly, I will be by your side.” 

“Of course, you can. If the old master knew you were thinking of him like this, he would be very happy even underground.” 

Albert wiped the moist corners of his eyes. These past two days had aged him a lot. 

Suddenly, he remembered something, “Oh! Wait for me.” 

Immediately, he opened the safe in Grandpa’s bedroom and took out two velvet boxes. Even before he spoke, he choked up, “When he found out you were pregnant, the old master was overjoyed. He figured 

young master, so he instructed me not to say anything, saying you out that you didn’t want to tell were sensitive and thoughtful. He said when you wanted to talk about it, you would. We couldn’t pressure you because of this child or forcibly tie you to the Frost family.” 

“This is… a birth gift prepared by the old master for the child. You don’t know, the old master has never been so meticulous in choosing gifts before. He asked me every day whether Charlotte was carrying a boy or a girl, and what kind of gift would be appropriate.”
