Ex-husband’s Regret

"You wouldn't know I'm looking at you unless you're looking at me as well," I retorted.

"It's normal for me to look at my own wife," he said shamelessly.

His words caught me off guard, and I couldn't bring myself to ask the question I had intended.

The Frost Group towered above us, its glass facade reflecting the morning sun like cut diamonds. After Gary parked the car in the car park, I immediately got out and wanted to escape the

scene.

"Morning, Charlotte!" Nancy suddenly ran over from nearby, looking energetic as she greeted me enthusiastically.

I smiled and grabbed her arm, urging her to walk. "Good morning. Let's walk quickly. It's too cold."

"Charlotte, you forgot your breakfast."

Behind me, Ryan opened the car door and stepped out, calling after me.

I took a deep breath, turned around to take the breakfast, and spoke as distantly as possible," Thank you, Mr. Frost."

"Young lady, are you and Mr. Frost..." Nancy hooked my arm and leaned in with a flirtatious wink. "When did you two get together? Are you Mr. Frost's secretly married wife?"

"No..." I didn't want to stir up trouble before the divorce. If such news reached Jessica, there was no telling what would happen, so I subconsciously denied it.

In the meantime, Ryan was taking advantage of his long legs and had already passed us by.

Nancy's words, undoubtedly, fell directly into his ears. However, he chose not to refute her in

any way.

Wide-eyed, Nancy watched as the elevator designated for the CEO closed. "Charlotte, there's no point in denying anymore. Mr. Frost has admitted it!"

"When did he admit it?"

"Silence speaks louder than words!"

I sighed helplessly, feeling increasingly unable to argue with this fresh graduate.

However, Nancy seemed to have a sense of propriety. Once inside the elevator, she remained silent.

It wasn't until we entered

My office that she resumed her gossiping.

"Charlotte, I can't believe it! I've been working under the CEO's wife's nose all this time!"

"Did you really marry Mr. Frost three years ago? Do you have any children?"

"I mean, Mr. Frost used to tint the glass windows every time he entered your office, and I never realized the relationship between the two of you!"

My head began to ache from listening to Nancy's ranting. "Nancy..."

She snapped to attention. "What is it, Mrs. Frost?"

I couldn't help but smile. "Make me a cup of coffee. And please, don't address me like that."

"Sure thing." She quickly left, walking confidently. In no time, she returned with a cup of coffee.

Resting both hands on my desk, she asked eagerly, "Charlotte, can you get tickets for Eason's concert?"

"Eason is a very popular Cherian male singer, and tickets for his concerts usually sell out within seconds. This time, his concert in Jelaston is sponsored by one of the Frost Group's sub-brands, and there should be internal tickets.

I was surprised. "You like Eason too?"

"Yeah, do you like him too?"

"Well, especially during university. Back then, his songs were all that I listened to."

I smiled ruefully and agreed, "Let me see what I can do about the tickets for you."

After Nancy left, I opened the lunchbox and found not only breakfast inside but also a jewelry box with a note attached.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

"Charlotte, Happy 8th Anniversary"

Looking at the calendar, I couldn't help but freeze.

He actually remembered.

That day was the anniversary of the day when we first met.
