Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret

Chapter 888:

Nathan’s expression turned cold, and every trace of nonchalance vanished from his face.

Ophelia was truly a foolish girl. Did she actually believe he had genuine feelings for her?

He forcibly pushed her away until they were no longer touching.

“I think you’ve misunderstood something. I never forced you to have sex with me. I’ll admit, part of the reason I got involved with you was to get under Jarrett’s skin, but now…”

He paused and looked Ophelia up and down with a sneer. “Now that I’ve achieved my goal, you no longer hold any value for me. We were two consenting adults who had a bit of fun. You would do well not to take such things to heart.”

He suddenly took a step forward, his voice turning an octave deeper as he added, “If you make the mistake of clinging onto me again, there will be consequences.”

With that, Nathan walked past Ophelia and headed into the villa without waiting for her response.

He found a servant standing in attendance at the foyer.

“Keep the door secure,” Nathan instructed in a chilly voice. “Don’t let any unwanted guests in to dirty my home.”

The door shut with a heavy thud behind him.

Ophelia was so startled by the noise that she jumped and trembled. She stood in place, her eyes dazed, even as tears streamed down her face.

How did things end up this way? Just a few days ago, she was tangled up with Nathan in bed, and he had been so gentle with her. How did he turn into someone so heartless now?

Was it because of Sadie? It must be her fault! That shameless woman must have used some trick to seduce Nathan. Ophelia was convinced of it.

She slumped to the ground, her makeup ruined, her hair an utter mess. When she was finally able to gather herself somewhat, she stumbled away from Nathan’s villa. She wasn’t even sure how, but she managed to make it back home.

Daren was in the living room, reading the financial news while lounging on the sofa.

When he saw his sister walk in with swollen eyes and a tear-stained face, Daren scowled. He knew right away that she had snuck out to find Nathan again. Such a disappointment of a sibling.

Daren felt a surge of anger, but he couldn’t bring himself to unleash it on her. Instead, he put the newspaper down and tried to soften his tone. “What happened?”

Ophelia padded into the living room and sat across from him, acting as if she hadn’t heard a word he had said. She sat there for a long time, silent and dazed. Then her head suddenly jerked up, and she fixed her brother with a determined gaze.

“Daren, I’m willing to marry Jarrett.”noveldrama

Daren was about to take a sip of his coffee, but his hand paused midair. He eyed his sister in surprise, wondering if he had heard her correctly. She had been adamant about not marrying Jarrett, insisting that it was Nathan she loved. She had caused such a commotion, and now she was saying she wanted to marry Jarrett after all? What had happened?
