Ex-husband’s Regret

My mom quickly caught me and held me steady.

But due to this delay, Grandma had successfully gone out of the house.

I hurriedly grabbed an umbrella to chase after her.

My mom stopped me, "You can't run. Take it slow. I'll go."

She swapped the large umbrella she had for my small one and went after Grandma.

I couldn't slow down my pace at all. making sure not to harm the baby, I tried to keep up with them as quickly as possible.

My mom had already caught up with Grandma, but Grandma was struggling fiercely, repeatedly calling out Ben's name. They were both drenched, and the umbrella was ineffective against the rain.

I stepped forward to offer my umbrella, but the wind was too strong, and it barely provided any cover. Besides, Grandma wouldn't let me shield her.

"Ben, you need to take me to find Ben!"

My mom didn't dare use too much force for fear of hurting Grandma, so she just went along with her outside.

She looked back worriedly and said to me, "You should go home now. It's autumn, and your immunity is low during pregnancy. Getting wet in the rain could easily give you a cold, and that would be troublesome. I was already soaked.

In just a few seconds, my mom and Grandma had moved far away.

I thought for a moment, and decided that I needed to focus on taking care of the baby first. As for Grandma...

As I turned to head back home, I prepared to call the bodyguards stationed in the underground garage to find my mom and Grandma. However, I ran into a human wall.

Before I could see who it was, I was picked up in a horizontal embrace.

Recognizing the familiar clean scent, I swallowed my gasp and asked, "Why are you back?"

The man held me securely, striding upstairs directly into the bathroom.

He wrapped me in a bath towel, turned on the shower, adjusted the temperature, and then began to remove my clothes. "Grandma..."

I didn't resist. Within a few moments, I was completely undressed.

Before I could feel the cold, warmth enveloped me.

Frank, also drenched and completely soaked, had his black shirt clinging to his body, outlining his well-defined muscles.

His face was expressionless, with rainwater running down his sharp jawline.

He looked very detached.

"Are you angry?"

Frank rinsed me off with warm water, handed me a bathrobe to put on, and then carried me to bed.

He pulled the blanket over me snugly and went to get the hairdryer to dry my hair.

Seeing his silence, I felt a pang of guilt and instinctively started to explain, "The situation was urgent. I was also thinking about the baby and didn't act recklessly. Don't be mad, okay?"

Frank's long fingers ran through my hair, drying it thoroughly before turning off the hairdryer.

The rain outside pounded on the windows, and the room was dim with dark clouds hanging over it.

With only the bedside lamp on, Frank's brown eyes stared at me like a whirlpool.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

I crawled over to him under the blanket, gently took his hand, and looked up at him, "I really didn't intend to put myself in danger. I always remember that I'm pregnant. Downstairs, I was already planning to go back home." "Really?"

I shook my fingers lightly and said softly, "Really. I always listen to you."

"You listen to nothing."

Frank gave me a sideways glance and pinched my face. "Grandma and Ms. Jackson will be fine. Alan has taken people to handle it. When I saw you drenched, I was angry, but now I'm not."

I breathed a sigh of relief and tried to hug him, but he pushed me away. "I'm going to take a shower."

Frank quickly showered, changed into a set of gray loungewear, and, after making sure he was warm, came over to embrace me.

I nuzzled his neck. "I'm sorry for making you worry."

Frank patted my head. "Enough. You're always apologizing."

My apologies clearly had little effect. I pulled away from his embrace, reached for his neck, and asked, What can I do to make you believe me?"

At his words, a flicker of desire crossed Frank's eyes, and his gaze dropped to my abdomen. "I used to think having a baby with you would be nice, but now I feel like it's a hindrance."
