Chapter 23
Otherwise, the Frost Group wouldn't have ended up directly in Ryan's
hands
"What about you? Are you happy? I looked up and asked hesitantly.
"In these three years of being married to you?" He forced a smile, sighed, and continued, "I'm very happy."
His answer made me want to cry even more.
Was that regret?
Clearly, if it weren't for Jessica, we could have grown old together.
On the way back, neither of us spoke. We silently understood that saying more wouldn't help.
He couldn't truly change the situation, and I couldn't pretend everything was fine.
It was better to let go, while we still weren't 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.
"I'll walk you up." When we reached the Lake Garden, he spoke before I could. I didn't refuse.
We went upstairs together, standing at the door, I pursed my lips. "I'm home now, you should go back."
"Alright." Ryan nodded lightly, but his feet didn't move.
Ignoring him, I was about to enter the passcode when the door was pulled open from inside, revealing Jane's bright face. "You're back! I heard some noise at the door and thought it was the delivery." Seeing Jane in my house, I felt relieved. I said as I walked into the house, "So you wanted me to come back on an empty stomach to eat takeaway?"

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 Ryan's face was replaced in an instant by a cold expression
"Charlotte, you're back?"
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 wasn't a smile, "So do you know we're still not divorced yet?"
Well...
Tom had no choice but to run over and explain, "Ryan, I thought you were busy..."
"Well, I'm not
"Then 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 didn't 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?
"Sure."
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. "It's better to have more people, it'll be more lively."
The atmosphere was somewhat cold, but Ryan was unaware, acting as if he were in his own house, looking casually at Jack. "Thank you for coming to Charlotte's housewarming party." This statement was a bit ambiguous.
