Ex-Husband’s Regret: Barren Mommy Has Quadruplets

Chapter 511

Chapter 511 Taste Your Sweetness

Flora never expected her friend to say the same thing. Her already confused mind became even more muddled, and she couldn’t help but ask, “Why?”

Aletta pondered for a moment and replied, “This is something you need to figure out on your own…”

After all, matters of the heart require personal understanding before one can truly know.

“No, please tell me!” Flora’s tone was filled with anxiety.

Aletta remained unmoved and said, “I won’t tell you. Figure it out yourself. I need to sleep now. Goodnight!”

Then she ignored Flora completely!

Feeling dejected, Flora put down her phone and stared at the ceiling, desperately trying to comprehend. She thought until late into the night and, as she was about to fall asleep, a vague thought came to her.

“Could it be that Ray doesn’t like me?”

After putting away her phone, Aletta didn’t fall asleep immediately. Instead, she was thinking about Flora. She had always thought her best friend was intelligent, but she hadn’t expected her to be so oblivious when it came to matters of the heart. Perhaps it was because Flora was accustomed to

being carefree and not so attuned to subtleties?

Lost in her thoughts, she couldn’t help but ask Jason, “Do you think something might happen between them?”

Jason looked at the worried expression on the petite woman’s face and immediately pulled her into his embrace, saying. “From what I observed tonight, I don’t think there should be any problem. They seemed natural together, and Ray is someone who knows how to fight for what he wants. He’s well aware of his feelings for Flora and knows how to pursue her. So, you don’t need to worry about them.”

After saying this, he kissed Aletta’s forehead and said, “It’s late. Let’s sleep!”

With a flicker of thought, Aletta leaned in and returned the

kiss.

Jason raised an eyebrow at her and said, “So proactive tonight?”

“There’s a lingering taste of alcohol,” Aletta blinked and said, “Didn’t you brush your teeth and take a shower? Why hasn’t it faded away?”

“Do you want to taste it?” Jason stared at her crimson lips, his gaze intense, and asked.

Aletta locked eyes with him but didn’t answer.

But her expression already made it hard for Jason to control himself, so he lifted her chin and kissed her passionately.

The kiss, flavored with alcohol, seemed to possess an intoxicating charm.

Aletta’s mind became muddled, her whole body blushing, her eyes watery, as if she had just been thoroughly ravished.

Jason, feeling the urge but restraining himself, sighed and said, “When will this vegetarian period end?”

Aletta couldn’t help but chuckle.

The next day.

After having breakfast, Aletta went to Hill Group with Jason. She was eager to continue working on the perfume development she had left unfinished the previous day.

Jason didn’t stop her when he saw her restless state, but before she went, he issued a warning, “Only two hours! If you go over that, you’ll see what I do to you!”

Understanding his concern, Aletta raised her fingers and promised, “I guarantee I’ll stop after two hours.”

Seeing her obedient demeanor, Jason finally let her go and attended to his own tasks.

As soon as they separated, Aletta headed to the research and development department.

Upon entering, she noticed that Lotus wasn’t in her usual state today. It was a rare occurrence, and her complexion seemed a bit off, as if she hadn’t slept well.

Aletta was surprised and asked, “What’s wrong? You seemed fine when you left last night. Why do you look like this?”

Your Sweetness

Lotus was feeling down and lacked energy. When she heard Aletta’s voice, she only lifted her eyelids and sighed, “Don’t even mention it. I ran into a bothersome guy…”

Let’s start with last night.

Last night, she and Eaton were riding in a car together. Everything seemed fine, and the atmosphere was even good as they chatted away until they reached the entrance of the residential complex.

Once the car came to a stop, she bid farewell to Eaton and prepared to get out of the car.

But then, in the instant she opened the car door, she caught sight of a figure standing at the entrance of the complex.

It was a handsome man.

He was holding a bouquet of vibrant roses and dressed sharply in a suit. NôvelDrama.Org content.

However, Lotus froze on the spot.

In a split second, her face turned serious.

Eaton was a bit confused and asked, “What’s wrong? Who is that?”

Lotus pursed her lips and didn’t say much. “It’s nothing, Eaton. You should go back now. Goodnight.”

After saying that, she hastily got out of the car!

Eaton was always sharp.

He suspected that things couldn’t be that simple, so he didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he observed from the car for a while.

Once Lotus got out of the car, she kept her eyes straight ahead and walked towards the residential complex.

Just as she passed the gate, the man spotted her. His eyes lit up like a wolf spotting its prey, and he hurriedly caught up, calling out, “Lotus…”

Lotus acted as if she hadn’t heard him and even quickened her pace.

But the man persisted and rushed forward, grabbing her hand. “Lotus… I’m back!”

His tone was familiar and filled with longing, but it disgusted and repelled Lotus.

She forcefully shook off his hand, her expression impatient. “Don’t touch me!”

The man looked at her reaction, momentarily stunned, and cautiously asked, “Lotus, are you still mad at me?”

Lotus pressed her lips together and didn’t speak, her face turning somewhat pale.

The man grew anxious and quickly said, “Lotus, I was in the wrong back then. But now I have everything and can make you happy…”

He thought his affectionate confession would soften Lotus’s heart.

However, it made her feel even more repulsed.

Her attitude towards him was extremely cold. “Who are you? Do I know you? Stay away from me!”

After delivering those words, she forcefully pushed away from him, wanting to go straight home.

But the man had been waiting here for a long time and wouldn’t let her go easily.

He caught up once again, gripping Lotus’s wrist and explaining, “Lotus, don’t be angry anymore. Back when we were abroad, I had a lot of academic and work pressure, and I didn’t want to bring negative emotions to you, which is why I unilaterally cut off contact. But you were always in my heart… I apologize for hurting you back then! But I’m willing to do anything to make amends. I hope you can give me a chance to start anew!”

As he said these words, his expression was full of remorse and

earnestness.

Someone who didn’t know the situation might have thought he loved Lotus deeply.

But it was precisely that appearance that made Lotus feel even more disgusted, and a physical discomfort overwhelmed her.

Angrily, she tried to push the man away, sternly reprimanding, “Let go!”

The man held onto her hand even tighter, becoming more forceful. He asserted, “I won’t let go! You have to agree first

Your

and give me a chancel”

“Let go!”

Lotus was infuriated and didn’t care about her image as she pushed and shoved him.

Eaton, who was in the car, sensed that something was wrong and immediately got out, walking quickly towards them.

With a single grappling move, he seized the man’s wrist, his voice cold as he said, “Didn’t you hear her? She told you to let go. Can’t you understand plain English?”

Chapter 511 I Want to Get You, But You Want to Be My Friend

The scene from earlier kept replaying in her mind, and Floral couldn’t help but blame Ray.

Why did he have to get so close for no reason!

They were just acting, but why did he keep teasing her! It made it impossible to stay calm…

Flora’s heart continued to race, and finally, she decided to forget about it for now and take a shower.

As for what happened… let’s pretend it didn’t!

She quickly got up and went into the bathroom.

However, after washing up for a while, she realized she didn’t have any clothes to change into!

Frustrated, Flora tugged at her hair and squatted by the door with a troubled expression.

Was she really going to be naked tonight?

She glanced at the clothes she had just taken off and put on the stool…

Those clothes were dirty, with a few drops of oil on the collar, and she could even smell the strong barbecue scent from a distance.

Most Importantly, they were wet and completely unwearable!

After thinking it over, Flora hesitated for a while, and in the end, with a miserable mood, she wrapped a towel around herself and knocked on Ray’s door.

Ray heard the noise and came to open the door, but he didn’t expect to see this sight…

Before him stood a woman, wrapped only in a thin towel that barely reached her thighs, failing to conceal her stunning figure!

Her delicate collarbone was unbelievably beautiful, her fair skin almost glaringly bright, and her natural beauty was soul- stirring.

His gaze froze, and it felt as if his throat had been instantly. gripped, leaving him breathless, staring blankly…

It was late at night, a man and a woman alone in this situation; anyone would feel uneasy!

Not to mention, she was the one he had feelings for.

Ray felt a surge of blood rushing to his head.

Flora pretended to be calm and met his gaze calmly, saying, “Um… I don’t have any clothes to change into. Can I borrow something from you?”

Hearing this, Ray’s gaze deepened, and his voice became slightly hoarse. “Miss, I don’t have any clothes that would fit you!”

Flora pursed her lips. “I know, but anything is better than a

towel, right?”

As she said that, she suddenly sized up Ray’s attire.

At this moment, Ray had just finished showering and was wearing a robe that seemed to have a nice texture and appeared quite comfortable.

Flora raised an eyebrow and said, “I think this robe will do.”

Internally, Ray exclaimed in frustration.

This woman was truly something!

“I’ve already worn this set!”

His voice tightened a little.

Flora waved her hand dismissively and casually replied, “It’s okay, I don’t mind. We’re just good friends, what’s there to worry about?”

???

The fiery blood in Ray’s veins suddenly cooled!

He was speechless!

Did this woman have no understanding of what it meant to be a woman?

I wanted to flirt with you, and you want to be my friend?

Ray felt a surge of displeasure, and his expression darkened slightly. His gaze turned dangerous as he immediately said, “Fine, you can have this robe…”

Without waiting for Flora’s reaction, he swiftly untied the robe right then and there!

The next second, his sturdy chest came into view.

Flora couldn’t help but hold her breath and noticed that beneath the robe, his upper body was completely bare, with only a pair of shorts remaining.

In an instant, the composure she had forced upon herself shattered.

She stared at his well-defined abdominal muscles, and the phrase “Can I touch those muscles?” instantly echoed in her mind.

The memories from that night began to rush to the forefront, competing for attention.

Flora had a remorseful expression on her face, clearly regretting her past actions.

As she gazed at those attractive and enticing muscles, she felt an urge to touch them.

However, this time she wasn’t drunk, so she didn’t dare to be so bold and reckless.

Suppressing her thoughts, Flora averted her gaze from Ray and no longer dared to look at him.

She raised her hand, intending to grab her robe and leave quickly.

But Ray on the other hand deliberately held onto it and wouldn’t let go.

Flora asked puzzled, “What are you doing?”

Leaning against the doorframe, Ray lazily said, “Just wondering why you’re not looking at me. Aren’t we like siblings? Isn’t it natural for siblings to see each other shirtless?”

His audacious attitude left Flora flustered.

She stuttered, “Even siblings have boundaries!”

Ray looked at her in amusement, trying to tease her event more. “Oh? And what about touching and sleeping between ‘siblings’? How would you explain that?”

She was caught off guard by his question.

It was a topic she could have easily avoided, but now she didn’t know how to respond.

She pursed her lips, unable to speak, looking embarrassed.

The two of them stood there, tugging at the robe, in a

stalemate…

Having just taken a shower, Flora was wrapped in only a towel, and before long, she couldn’t help but sneeze.

She rubbed her nose with one hand and looked at Ray, as if asking with her eyes, “What do you want now?”

Ray’s heart softened, worried that she might catch a cold, so he finally let go. novelxo.com fast update

However, before releasing the robe, he said to Flora seriously, “Flora, I don’t want to be just your friend.”

Ne

After saying those words, he let go of the robe, ruffled her hair gently with a somewhat tender look, and said, “Go back and get some rest.”

Then he closed the door.

Flora stood frozen in place.

The words “I don’t want to be just your friend” kept echoing in her ears…

What did Ray mean by that???

Flora always considered herself quite smart and rarely encountered situations where she couldn’t figure things out.

But tonight, she couldn’t make sense of it!

That night, she couldn’t sleep…

Hill Villa.

Aletta had just finished showering and was preparing to go back to bed.

Just as she lay down, she noticed her phone being bombarded with messages from Flora.

WhatsApp messages kept piling up.

“Are you asleep? Reply to me!”

“It’s too early, you can’t possibly be sleeping, right?”

“Alta, are you there…”

Aletta saw countless messages and felt a bit helpless. She

replied, “I’m here, just finished showering. What’s going on?”

As soon as Aletta sent that message, Flora immediately sent a voice message.

“I have a question for you… So, I have a friend, and, um… she has a guy best friend! Usually, their relationship is pretty good, and she considers him as a friend.

This is how things were, but now he says he doesn’t want to be her friend anymore. What do you think he means by that?”

Stumbling over her words, Flora finally managed to convey her thoughts.

Hearing this, Aletta burst into laughter.

Could this be the legendary “friends to lovers” scenario?

Poor Ray!

While laughing, Aletta replied, “If I were Ray, I wouldn’t want to be just your friend either!”

Jason overheard and had an indescribable expression on his

face.

He couldn’t help but feel sorry for Ray.

His love life seemed to be even more complicated than his

own!
