The Billionaire's Regret

Chapter 109

Wyatt’s voice was enchanting, mellow, deep, and husky. His emotions were suppressed and restrained in his eyes. The air almost froze as soon as his words were spoken. Ivy’s face was drained of blood in an instant. Her eyes were filled with disbelief. ‘Did I hear something wrong? He desired... me? Back then, the person who wanted to throw me away like a bag of trash actually chose me?! What exactly did Wyatt Reed want?’ Ivy was puzzled and couldn’t believe what she had just heard. The silence in the air gradually eroded her serenity. Wyatt’s gaze was fixed on Ivy’s face, observing every emotion and detail in her eyes. Shock, awe, detachment, and resistance. Fortunately, there was no disgust among all the other emotions Wyatt moved closer to her, wanting to stroke her hair. He wanted her to know that his feelings for her were genuine. He was genuine. However, before he could touch her, Ivy backed away subconsciously, as if she was afraid of him. Ivy had not reacted when Vince was so close to her, but she avoided Wyatt like the scourge. Her avoidance pricked Wyatt’s heart, but he pretended as if nothing had happened. The emotions in his eyes surged as he hooked his lips into a smile. His voice was raspy and gentle, and he spoke with great restraint. “I wasn’t joking, Ivy. I’m not much better than you at the moment. I think our divorce was a little hasty.” Ivy’s brow was furrowed. She became aware of something and turned to face him. The man’s eyes burned with unmistakable joy and glee. It nearly burned her. Her heart trembled violently the moment she saw through the emotions in his eyes. ‘Did I just catch a glimpse of nostalgia and fondness in his eyes?’ At that moment, the feelings in Ivy’s heart rippled like a stagnant pool of water from the rock that had been thrown in unexpectedly. It was not from joy but rather from shock. However, it only lasted a fraction of a second. Ivy avertedNôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

her gaze and resumed her stoic demeanor. She drew her lips together and raised her eyes to meet his. Her eyes lacked any hint of warmth. “Our marriage was too hasty, Mr. Reed.” She decided to divorce after three years of deliberation. It was a relief for her. Wyatt’s body stiffened as Ivy’s words were spoken. His soft face tensed, and the emotions in his eyes shattered inch by inch. Ivy met his gaze without hesitation. Ivy had no reason to refuse him if he had asked for anything else, even if he wanted to demand an excessive sum. On the other hand, Ivy no longer had the heart to step into that pit of fire again if he wanted a romantic relationship. “Please, Ivy, give me one more chance. I’ll—” Wyatt’s face was pale as he gazed at her almost mournfully. Ivy cut him off before he could finish his sentence. “Mr. Reed, don’t tell me you’re resentful of your divorce and that you’ve fallen for me now, do you?” Wyatt nodded as he looked at Ivy. “Yes.” His voice had become hoarse and dry. He admitted that Ivy was irreplaceable in his life. He admitted that he had never been so open about his feelings for her before. He admitted that the heart-wrenching pain was so unbearable when he found out about Ivy’s accident that she had to be his life’s love. Their divorce was the dumbest thing he’d ever done. He would have given anything to have Ivy by his side if he could do it all over again! When Ivy received that response, she simply hooked the corners of her lips and delivered the death sentence in a calm and composed manner. “Everything between us, Mr. Reed, is in the past. I’m no longer interested in it, and I’m no longer interested in you. As a result, discussing feelings between us is not appropriate. I am truly grateful for everything you’ve done by risking your life to save me, so if you need anything, you can go directly to my father and eldest brother. They will not, without a doubt, refuse you.” Ivy refused to discuss repayment.

Even though the Reeds had plenty of money, who would ever complain about having too much? This would be more appropriate for Leo and Cooper to handle. Wyatt was taken aback by Ivy’s distant and polite demeanor. “I lost interest in you long ago,” she said. More than her mockery or resentment, this sentence left Wyatt feeling befuddled. He felt as if thin needles were piercing all of his organs, causing him excruciating pain. A trace of bitterness rose from the depths of his heart, making him feel powerless. Wyatt had long lost the Ivy from three years ago who had only eyes for him.
