Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 1028
Jane didn’t miss the cold glint that flashed in Zachary’s eyes.It seemed he wasn’t really planning to escort Westley, nor was it because Frank had something urgent to attend to.It was likely because he had his own matters to deal with.She didn’t ask, though. Instead, she curved her lips into a smile. “I’ll wait for you at home.”Zachary picked out a bone in the fish for her. “If you’re tired, go to sleep first. I’ll definitely come home, I promise.”“Alright.”Beside them, Frank whispered something to Charlotte.Charlotte nodded to show that she understood.Jordan glanced left and right, feeling like she was the third wheel.Better to just eat.She was about to turn the table to get some muffin when the lazy Susan rotated toward her the moment she reached out.The muffin landed right in front of her.She didn’t lift her head to look, but she could feel a scorching gaze focused on her face.Her long lashes fluttered quickly, and she paused, not reaching out to pick up th

Zachary opened his eyes and locked gazes with Frank.He knew the latter was a scheming person.In the private room.Jane tried to lighten the mood. “Let’s skip the mango today. I don’t feel like having it either.”Charlotte purposely exposed her. “It’s because you’re supposed to eat less mango now.”Jane stuck out her tongue and called the server to bring a peanut-free triangular cake.“How about blueberry flavor?”“Perfect, I’ve been craving blueberries today.”“Please wait a moment.”After the server left, Jane and Charlotte noticed Jordan still seemed down.They exchanged a glance before Jane asked, “Shouldn’t you be happy about the divorce? Isn’t this what you’ve wanted most?”Jordan fiddled with the corner of the tablecloth, wrinkling it between her fingers.She couldn’t understand Westley, but the foundation of her understanding of him was still there.With a sigh, she said, “He rarely changes his mind once he’s made a decision. For instance, during those three years

The light in the basement was dim.Zachary walked closer step by step, only then able to see the scene below.An iron chain was fastened around Luthor’s neck. He hadn’t been cleaned up for a month, his whole body filthy, with exposed skin that was cracked and oozing blood.His untrimmed hair was like tree branches, covering his eyebrows and eyes.At that moment, he was crouched on the ground, eating something from a bowl.It was unclear what it was, but it looked like pig slop.At a glance, Zachary couldn’t bear it and looked away.The pregnancy nausea tormented him more than his stomach ailments ever had."Even like this, you’re still alive. Are you so determined to one day take me down?"His cold and detached voice echoed, but Luthor remained focused on eating.Zachary kicked over the stainless steel bowl."You’re more resilient than I imagined. No wonder the Winston family thrived under your hands. Without you, they’ve become nothing but pushovers."The feud between the

Frank saw Zachary's guilty behavior and said, “You’re going like this? With a change of clothes? Do you think Jane’s stupid? You think she wouldn’t guess what you were up to?”Zachary fastened his belt and replied, “She already knows.”Frank didn’t bother with him and asked, “You never told Jane in advance about the paternity test results?”“I’m going to tell her now.”On the outskirts of the city.Roy handed the paternity test report to Luthor.Luthor looked at the names on it. The conclusion at the end stated there was no biological relationship.It was unbelievable.“How is that possible!”If Jane wasn’t Jasper’s biological daughter, then Jane would no longer be a stain on Zachary.Not to mention whether her biological parents were influential figures.Even if she had no parents, she would still be far better than being Jasper’s daughter.“Zachary sent you here with this fake report to fool me! Otherwise, why would he leave after saying only half of what he intended to?

‘I’ll never fulfill his wish,’ thought Zachary.“Aboard the same boat, there’s no abandoning ship—they can only sink together.”Frank’s phone vibrated. He smirked and said, “The families of the mining accident victims are not determined to keep their mouths shut as before. Have you finished investigating the human trafficking lead on your side?”Zachary also received updates from Rick and the others.He glanced at his watch. “Let’s go home first. We’ll handle it tomorrow.”Frank didn’t mind.Letting those people have one more peaceful night of sleep wasn’t a problem.Although, in reality, those people couldn’t sleep at all.The quieter Zachary’s side was, the more terrified they became.They couldn’t even arrange to meet him.Like headless flies, they wandered aimlessly in their homes.Some had even developed grey hair from the stress.When Frank returned home, things were lively on Sparrow’s side.Charlotte looked at him and said, “Jordan is staying over tonight. She want

Jordan sat beside Yasmin, pulling faces to amuse Sparrow.She joked with Yasmin, “If you don’t walk the red carpet, I won’t be able to capture stunning photos anymore.”“You’ve got quite the sweet tongue.” Yasmin chuckled. “At my age, there are so many younger women now—each one vibrant and beautiful.”“It’s different. It’s your aura. Others can’t exude the same aura.”While they chatted, Frank pulled Charlotte back to their place across the street.After closing the door, Frank immediately scooped her up and carried her to the bathroom.He had been in Northern Manya for a while, looking but not indulging. He had been holding back too long.Charlotte saw his eagerness and found it both funny and exasperating.Just a moment ago, he had been so happy about sleeping with their daughter. Now, it seemed she was no longer on his mind.Stopping his burning hands, she asked, “When you dropped Westley off, did he say anything?”Frank didn’t want to talk at all—he just wanted action.
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 1034
"First, let me apologize for keeping this from you for so long."Jane’s curiosity was piqued to its peak. “What is it? Hurry up and tell me.”Zachary wanted to approach the matter gradually, but after giving it some thought, he decided that Jane would likely be more happy than upset about the truth. So, he said it outright.“Jasper isn’t your biological father.”Silence.Jane’s eyes gradually widened, so much so that they seemed about to pop out.She was too shocked to speak.She wanted to ask something, her mouth open, but no sound came out.For a moment, she wondered if she had misheard him.The dark days of her past, the beatings and scoldings, flashed in her mind like a slideshow.For years, she had felt that having a father like Jasper was a stain on her life.On the outside, she put on a tough appearance and claimed she had no heart.But deep down, she was insecure and sensitive.After falling in love with Zachary, she lived in constant fear that her background would

Jane turned his face toward her and gave him a quick kiss.Zachary closed his eyes briefly, taking a deep breath to calm himself.“What is this? Are you so happy you want to ‘finish off’ your husband to celebrate?”“Stop talking nonsense.” Jane smacked him lightly on the head. “It’s a joyous day, don’t say such unlucky things.”Zachary grabbed her hand. “Then what are you trying to do?”“Are you happy seeing me suffer?”“Do I look like that kind of person? I’ve been feeling awful because of your morning sickness. You can’t eat, and I can’t help—it makes me anxious.”“How about you fix that smile of yours before saying that?”Jane burst out laughing, collapsing into his arms.Zachary sighed helplessly. “I really can’t win against you.”“If you want to ask something, just ask—no need for all this.”Jane sat up. “You should eat something first.”“No need.”Just hearing the word “eat” made Zachary feel queasy.“I know my limits.”“You have stomach problems. What ‘limits’ do

"What are you doing?"Jordan was both angry and anxious, her face completely red.Westley smiled. "What do you think?""Stop messing around! We still need to go toast the guests.""Exactly." The man pinched the satin ribbon behind her back. "How can you wear the toasting dress if you don't take off the wedding dress?"The wedding dress was too heavy, and with him pressing on her, Jordan couldn't break free."You want to do it yourself, but you can’t."In the end, Jordan was stripped down to just her undergarments and was forcibly changed into the toasting dress.Seizing the right moment, she immediately broke free from Westley and opened the door, about to run out.Westley quickly grabbed her and carried her back. "Your makeup is ruined."‘Whose fault is it that my makeup is ruined?’Jordan stomped hard on his foot. "You’re so annoying!""Already annoyed right after the wedding?" Westley sat her down on the edge of the bed, opened the makeup bag, and took out a lipstick. "I

Westley had someone distribute the wedding sweets. He carried Jordan into the hotel and delivered her to the bridal rest room.Jane and the others had already been waiting."So, what's up, Westley? As your sister-in-law, I took your big envelope, and I didn't make things difficult for you, did I?"What could Westley say? "Thank you, Jane.""Jordy's wedding shoes?"Jane and Charlotte each handed him one of the shoes.Westley crouched down and carefully put them on Jordan."I'm going to be busy up front, I'll wait for you."Jordan nodded. "Okay."After Westley left, Jane and Charlotte helped her change into the wedding dress.Whitney also helped.Caleb brought her to the wedding venue, and while they were waiting in the rest room, Jane explained to her.The reason they arrived here first was that everything had been arranged in advance, and it was intentionally done this way.She actually found it quite interesting."Whit." Jane patted her shoulder. "This is a good way to

Even the foundation couldn't hide the pink flush spreading on her cheeks.Jordan knew she was rather introverted, and without Jane and Charlotte there to back her up, this felt like hell to her."Westley!""Yes!"Jordan was amused by him and forgot what she was about to say.Westley stepped forward, kneeling on one knee, preparing to go through the motions.Whitney quickly tried to stop him, but was pulled away by Caleb."This won't do..." She struggled, but couldn't fight against the man's strength.Only Jordan and Westley were left in the bedroom.The man kneeled beside the bed and handed her the bouquet. "Dear Mrs. Howard, please come home with me."Jordan took the bouquet, revealing her small feet from under the large skirt."I don't have shoes on."Westley asked, "How can I find your shoes?""You're asking me?""Yes.""Well, I can't tell you."Westley knew it wasn't going to be that easy.Even if Jane and Charlotte were kept busy, with their family status, how cou

"They're here, they're here," Charlotte called out, urging Whitney to quickly close the bedroom door.Whitney said, "Jane hasn't come in yet.""If she's slower than Westley, it means she's caught up in something," replied Charlotte."But isn’t Zachary afraid of angering Jane by helping Westley like this?"Charlotte smiled. "This is a wedding. Blocking the door is just for fun. We won’t really make it hard for the groom to take the bride away."Whitney only then realized what they were doing. "Sorry.""It's fine, you've never had a wedding, so it's normal," Charlotte reassured her."So, what should I do now?"Charlotte said, "Just cooperate with me.""Don't be too formal, it's not a big deal."At that moment, Westley knocked on the door. "What does Mrs. Smith want? Feel free to name your price."Charlotte laughed. "Mr. Howard always reads people well and is full of schemes. Why don't you try guessing?"Frank had already come over, but he looked lazy and still had no energy.
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 1438
Westley seemed not to hear Zachary's words and asked him if his clothes were alright and whether his tie was crooked.Zachary couldn't be bothered to respond.Frank didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.At that moment, Caleb stepped forward and adjusted Westley's tie and collar, smiling faintly.Westley understood. "Carter will come to the wedding. I'm certain of it."Caleb then asked, "With the relationship between Mr. Greyson and Mr. Howard, why isn't he coming as a groomsman?""He doesn't get along well with my wife.""Because of Mandy?"Westley nodded. "Mandy and my wife were good friends during their teenage years."Actually, Jordan wasn't someone who held grudges, but he couldn't let anything go wrong at the wedding.Originally, it didn't matter whether Carter came or not.If it weren't for Caleb, he wouldn't have insisted on having Carter attend.Caleb understood.The sky gradually brightened.Whitney stood at the door, waiting for news from Jane.Suddenly, some

Whitney nodded. "It's really delicious.""That's good." Jordan didn't know what else to say and quietly sipped her soup.Caleb placed some ham on Whitney’s plate. "If you like it, take some with you when you leave.""I'll arrange for it to be delivered to Yelar regularly in the future."Whitney really liked it, but she never overindulged.She was afraid that giving in to greed wouldn't be a good thing.After a pause, she asked, "Do you like it?"Caleb replied, "It's okay."Whitney said, "Then I can take some back, but no need to have someone deliver it regularly. If I eat too much, I won't find it as tasty anymore."Caleb nodded in agreement.During the meal, Jane went to the restroom, and Charlotte also stood up.Jordan quickly followed them.Whitney thought for a moment and decided to go too.Zachary waited for them to leave the private room and raised his tea cup toward Caleb.Since Jane was drinking, he decided not to drink."I think Whitney really enjoys hanging out

She looked at Jane and the others, blinking. "Isn't that right, sisters?"Jane nodded. "That's right, it's a women’s gathering, no men allowed.""No men allowed again?" Westley gave a cryptic glance at the three men standing behind.Jordan followed Jane's lead.Charlotte had no objections.Whitney glanced at Caleb, but she had already told him that she'd be with Jordan for the next few days.In other words, she had informed him that she was joining Jordan's little group.She didn't say anything else.Caleb pulled at the corner of his lips, not saying anything.The manager didn't know what to make of the group of important figures standing in the front hall.After giving it some thought, he said, "We only have one private room, which Mr. Howard reserved first. Would you like to share a table, ladies?"Jane smiled. "So, when it rains, there's only one room, huh?"The manager glanced at Westley for guidance. "Our restaurant is reservation-based..."Jordan interrupted. "I made

Frank put down his phone and said, "I'll just take this as a wedding gift for your sister and brother-in-law, for their upcoming wedding."Zachary didn't say anything. He had received a similar message from Westley.Meanwhile, someone on Caleb's side came to update him on Whitney's movements.He didn't have an issue with her shopping, but he wasn't exactly happy about it either.He had given Whitney a premium card, letting her buy whatever she liked.But she had never used it."Mr. Hilton..." One of his subordinates hesitated before speaking. "After shopping, Mrs. Hilton and Mrs. Collins... they went for... for a massage."Caleb received the news, and so did Zachary.There hadn't been any activity for half the day, so they probably went to a proper massage parlor."Got it."Jane and the others went for facial and oil massages.It was indeed a normal massage parlor.Even when they had gone to a bar before, they were just there to drink.The issue was with those men not trus

Jordan hadn't decided yet. "Do you have any particular places you'd like to visit?"Jane said, "Then let's go shopping."She turned to Charlotte. "Can you walk?""I’m fine. If we get tired, we can find a place to sit and rest."Jane then looked at Whitney and asked if she wanted to go.Whitney nodded.The four girls made a quick decision and set off.Ross was eating an apple when he saw them coming out together. He immediately asked, "Mrs. Collins, where are you going? Do you need me to give you a lift?"Jane looked at the car behind him and noticed there were no other cars."Take us to the biggest shopping center.""Okay."The MPV was large, and with just Ross as the driver, it was more than enough for the four of them to sit comfortably."Ma’am, there are yogurts and snacks next to you, all your favorites."Jane glanced at it and said, "Remember to tell Zachary that it’s too late to apologize after making a mistake."Ross would only repeat the exact words to Zachary, an
