Ex-husband’s Regret (Ryan and Charlotte) novel Chapter 416

Chapter 416 

When Yasmin recognized this daughter and learned how difficult her early years had been, she made up her end to give her the best of everything in the world. It had only been a little over a year since they were reunited, and if she were to recognize another goddaughter now, it would surely upset Christine. 

Joanne lit a cigarette and said, “I feel like there’s always something off between you and Christine.” 

“How so?” 

“Well, you talk to Charlotte quite casually and often find yourself thinking about her needs without realizing it.” Joanne exhaled a thin ring of smoke. “But with Christine, you’re always worried about whether you’ve done something right or whether you’ve made up for something. 

Even Christine…” 

At this point, Joanne sighed. “Don’t blame me for being blunt, but I think Christine sees you more like a cash machine.” 

“Christine…” Yasmin looked momentarily lost and then said with guilt, “I owe her. Joanne, you have to consider, the suffering she endured in her early years–honestly, it’s a failure on my part as a mother. I understand that she doesn’t have strong feelings for me now. It’s okay, we’ll take it 

slow.” 

“Owe her?” Joanne felt helpless. “In the past year alone, how much have you spent on her? Today, she wants to buy a house in the capital, tomorrow she complains about the discomfort of a commercial flight and wants a private jet, and let’s not even talk about the bags and jewelry… What haven’t you provided her with?” 

Ordinary families would have none of that even if they saved up for their 

entire lives. 

Yet Christine would get them almost every day with just a word. 

She didn’t think Yasmin shouldn’t spend money on Christine. 

However, she also felt sympathy for Yasmun. Few people knew how many times Yasmin had bitten the bullet and persevered to get to where she was today. 

When she first entered the entertainment industry, she was just a nobody. 

It was only because of her beauty that she signed with an entertainment company. Even then, due to her looks, she had to endure a whole night in summer clothes during a heavy snowstorm, ready at any time, only to lose her job when the lead actor casually dismissed her. 

When Yasmin returned home, she had a high fever of 40 degrees Celsius 

But being poor and without money, she dragged Yasmin to the hospital, and Yasmin was too scared to go. 

Thinking of this, Joanne sighed. “You care for her, but has she ever cared for you? Even when you wanted to introduce Charlotte, that girl was worried about troubling you… 

At that moment, the bedroom door suddenly opened, and Christine, wearing an exclusive dress. 

“What Charlotte? What introduction?” Christine asked curiously. 

Yasmin hadn’t mentioned this matter to Christine yet. 

There was no need to report it to Christine. 

But since the topic had come up. Yasmin gave Joanne a look, signaling her to stop talking out of turn. Then she waved to Christine with a smile “It’s about tomorrow’s dinner. I was thinking of inviting Charlotte to join

us and give her an introduction.” 

Upon hearing this, Christine clenched her fists subtly her teeth gritted in anger. 

‘That wretched Charlotte, just don’t know when to give up. She had ruined my plans two years ago. And now, she’s back!‘ 

Moreover, Christine couldn’t understand why Yasmin, who had barely interacted with Charlotte, would have such a fondness for this person. The more she thought about it, the more unsettled she felt. 

However, she managed to mask her displeasure and sat down beside Yasmin, speaking softly, “An introduction? Mom, Ms. Wilson hasn’t been involved in the entertainment industry before, right? Won’t she feel out of place going?” 

Her words were full of concern for Charlotte. 

If she could, she would prefer that wretched person never show up again! 

For some reason, she felt that Charlotte was her nemesis, and wherever she appeared, it seemed that things would go wrong for her! 

Yasmin, feeling guilty towards this daughter, didn’t think much of it and simply smiled. “Don’t worry. Ms. Wilson has attended international film festivals with Dave before. A dinner party is nothing to her.” 

“True.” Christine smiled somewhat awkwardly. “I’ve never been to such grand events. Ms. Wilson seems to have lived a very privileged life from a young age. So… has Ms. Wilson agreed to come?”
