Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 141
A stock clerk pushed a shelf past us, interrupting our conversation. "Excuse me, just passing through."I pulled Jane back a bit before asking, "What were you saying just now?""Isn't she your father-in-law's biological daughter?" Jane looked spirited.I frowned. "I don't think so... She's two years older than Ryan."If she were having an affair, it wouldn't be this early, would it?"What's so implausible about it?" Jane dismissed my concern, excitedly sharing gossip about the wealthy. "In these wealthy families, it's messy. They have a wife at home and have several mistresses outside. Isn't that normal?""But..." I still felt something was off. "If Jessica really is his biological daughter, why wouldn't he tell Grandpa? Grandpa hates Jessica so much."He would definitely treat his own granddaughter differently.Jane thought about it and found it strange too. "You're right. If Jessica were really his daughter, wouldn't it be incestuous for him to let Ryan and Jessica be togethe

Jane quickly glanced at me, a hint of ambiguity almost overflowing. I felt puzzled, but seeing Jack's calm demeanor, I was sure it wasn't what Jane was implying.Moreover, Jack had someone he liked, for over 20 years. How could he possibly have any feelings for someone like me who had just divorced?Jack refilled my drink. "No rush to decide, take your time.""Okay." I still felt a bit overwhelmed inside. After all, it was a brand I had admired for so many years, suddenly within reach, it felt like a dream.After dinner, Jane used the excuse of another appointment to ask Jack to drive me home. In the car, I said helplessly, "I'm bothering you again.""What bother? I'm just being soft-hearted and lending a hand." Jack teased with a smile.I chuckled softly. "You didn't even let me pay for the meal, th...".Before I finished, he pretended to answer a phone call and went to pay the bill.His long, slender fingers rested on the steering wheel, exuding a natural elegance. His gaze

I hesitated for a moment, glanced into the bag, and saw two exquisite velvet boxes inside. They contained the jade pendant Grandpa had prepared for the child.A wave of intense pain swept through me. Coldly, I spoke, "This was something Grandpa prepared for the child. Since the child is no more, it should be returned to you."He glared at me. "This was given to you by Grandpa. If you want to return it, return it to Grandpa."I realized he was completely unreasonable and impossible to reason with. I pursed my lips. "Ryan, I can accept other things, but this is too precious."He blurted out, "It's given to you, not to someone else."I couldn't help but clutch my hand tightly, suppressing the strange feeling in my heart, trying to remain rational. "Between us, we only lack one divorce certificate to settle things clearly.""Settle things?" Ryan's indifferent eyes subtly raised. He looked at me calmly.I involuntarily panicked for a moment. "Yes.""What do you want to settle?" He l

"Is it not her? Could it be me?" I met his gaze without flinching, asking each word deliberately.To say that I had no expectations would be a lie. I could deceive anyone, but I couldn't deceive my own heart. I still hadn't let go.Even though I knew perfectly well that there was no possibility for us to continue, I still hoped that over these years, he had liked me even for a brief, fleeting moment.Eight years. How many of those would I get in a life time?His dark eyes were like whirlpools, as if trying to pull me in. His voice carried a mesmerizing power, "If I said yes, would we not get divorced then? How about it?"I froze, then froze again, for a long time, looking at him as soberly as I could, shaking my head."Ryan, even if you liked me at some point, it would only prove that all these years weren't entirely about me loving you. I might have been slightly more willing. But this... isn't a reason for us to continue.""All these years?""Yes, all these years."Suddenly,
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 145
Upon hearing those words, I briefly spaced out.This question, aside from Jane asking me something similar, I had never really asked myself.Would I?If that day, another boy had saved me and the one I woke up to see was someone else, would I have fallen for that boy?Or if Ryan had never helped me, would I still have liked him to this extent? Then what would my feelings over these years amount to?My thoughts were in disarray. I dared not continue thinking and gently shook my head, "Ryan, I can't give you an answer."Ryan's usual nonchalant demeanor almost couldn't hold up. His jawline tightened, and he slowly sighed. "Fine.""Is what I once liked you for important?"I didn't understand why he seemed somewhat disappointed. We had already reached the end of our relationship, so why pursue what it started with?Ryan avoided my gaze, hurriedly stubbed out his cigarette, and evaded the topic, "What you said, I promise you.""What?"I was briefly stunned, then realized, "About J

"What are you so proud of?!"She was so angry that her chest heaved up and down rapidly, her eyes bursting with a vicious light. "Charlotte, you forced me. You told him to kick me out of the country, didn't you? When the day the position of Mrs. Frost into my hands, I'll make sure that you get the hell out of Jelaston!""Drive you out of the country?"I was somewhat surprised.I thought, Ryan despite the promise, would just decide to not marry Jessica. I didn’t expect him to completely get rid of her."Stop pretending! Ryan is so good to me, if not because of you, how could he be so heartless! I'm telling you, I'm not going to leave the country, so just give up!""You go talk to him. I’m not the one who wants to send you abroad."After saying that, I was about to pour a glass of water to drink, when I heard Jessica's gloomy voice ring out."I caused the death of your child, you especially hate me, right?"Jessica suddenly laughed, her eyes full of malice.My heart felt like i

Jessica's eyes were full of smiles!I suddenly understood what she meant, without a hint of panic, slowly withdrew my hand, and under Ryan's dismayed eyes, I said, "What you see is what you see."Anyway, when had he ever listened to my explanation.What was more, he now also saw with his own eyes. It was no use explaining.In the past, I would still be worried about some unimportant things, whether he would think that I was ruthless or something like that, but now, I don't even care anymore.The most important thing was that I was completely disappointed.It didn’t matter at all what he thought of me.Jessica covered her wound, her face was full of tears. ''Ryan, save me... it hurts so much! She suddenly stabbed me... with a knife like she was crazy."She was 30 years old, but still a bitch.I sneered. "What are you crying for, isn't that your purpose? Purpose accomplished, you should be happy."Winding me up, timing Ryan’s arrival and forcing me to do all of this.I had to

"Gary?"Ryan's voice turned terrifyingly cold. "What are you standing there for? Take her to the hospital!"Jessica was having a mental breakdown. Before she could say anything, Gary carried her straight into the elevator!He made sure all the way, not to let any blood drip on the ground.I watched them leave, feeling like I could burn a hole through their backs. My chest continued to heave violently."Charlotte, let's wash our hands first, okay?"Ryan seemed afraid to provoke me further, his tone gentle as if coaxing a child.I looked at him and asked hesitantly, "Aren't you angry at me for hitting her?"This wasn't Ryan's usual style.He should have defended Jessica unequivocally, standing opposed to me. That would have been right.He sighed, took my hand, led me to the restroom, turned on the faucet, checked the water temperature, then positioned me under the faucet, applied hand soap, and carefully washed my hands."Doesn't your hand hurt after hitting her like that?"I

Charlotte patted her head. "First, make a video call to that little girl." Jane quickly found her phone and opened the landlord's WhatsApp. As soon as the call connected, the little girl appeared on screen, her eyes red. Tears were still visible on her face. The landlord was sitting next to her, waiting, not having gone to sleep. Jane apologized, "Sorry to disturb your rest." "Don't say that." The landlord gently patted her daughter's head. "I'm just happy you're alright." Jane smiled at the little girl. "Thanks to Celine, I'm fine." The little girl leaned closer to the screen. "Jane, you're lying. Your lips are swollen." Jane cleared her throat. "I ate something spicy earlier." She quickly added to prevent the little girl from saying anything else, "Alright, go to sleep now. We'll talk more when you get out of school. Jane went through a lot today, and she's tired too." The little girl, very understanding, handed the phone to her mother and went to bed

The captain laughed. "Don't think that just because we're from abroad, we don't understand anything.""Young lady, if you want to buy some time, then I'll play along with you. But if you're hoping for someone to rescue you, I advise you to give up on that thought. This is the border. Domestic ships can't get through here."Well, you don't know Frank.There's no one who can stop him from going where he wants to go.Jane tried her best to suppress her fear. "Sir, I have all kinds of tricks. If I can make you guys happy, can you spare my life?"She reached out, grabbed the captain's belt, and moved closer."As long as you don't kill me, you'll be my savior. I'll be yours from now on and let you have your fun with me. Is that okay?"Although Jane hadn't dressed herself up recently.But her facial features were stunning. Those fox-like eyes with a smile in them were even more alluring.The captain kept swallowing saliva. Apparently, he was attracted.However, they had already rece

They were anxious, not just because of the situation, but because they feared Zachary would go mad and go abroad with Jane. Frank glanced at their expressions and immediately understood that they were aware of Lexi's plan to send Jane abroad. "I suggest that while Zachary is looking for Jane, you should take care of the Sanchez family's matters. Otherwise, when Zachary comes back, there will be hell to pay." Jane ate the meal the waiter brought and then felt drowsy. She fell into a light sleep, and when she opened her eyes again, it was already half past nine. She remembered the things she had told the little girl before leaving and quickly grabbed her phone to call. But just then, the door was suddenly kicked open. Several adult men stormed in and grabbed her, dragging her outside. "What are you doing?" They had originally planned to reach the border, but unexpectedly, a violent storm had forced a slight course change. This delay allowed the effects of th

Lexi said, "The plane will leave traces. By then, Zachary will find you. The ship will change at the border and private sea areas. Once she changes ships, it will be hard to track." Jane remembered when Jack had taken Charlotte away before. She felt a sense of unease. After all, Lexi wasn't someone she could fully trust. "I didn't expect you to be so timid." Lexi noticed Jane's worry. "I thought someone with your background, who dared to pursue someone as different as Zachary, and even date him, would have extraordinary courage." But wasn't Jane regretting it now? Otherwise, why would she be running away? She decided not to care anymore. With a firm heart, she boarded the ship. Lexi smiled in satisfaction, but then a cold glint appeared in her eyes as she spoke to the captain. "When we reach the border, throw her into the sea and feed her to the sharks." No matter where she went, as long as Zachary wanted to find her, it was just a matter of time.

Lexi was so angry that she wanted to smash something. She got up and walked away, with each step of her high heels hitting the ground, the sound echoing her immense fury. The more difficult it was to conquer, the more determined she became to conquer it! Zachary went directly back to the Collins family home. The Collins family members were somewhat uneasy. When they saw him come back alone, they were both shocked and suspicious. "Did Lexi not come back with you?" asked Rebecca. Zachary did not respond and walked upstairs with long strides. Rebecca, along with Sir Collins and Madam Collins, exchanged gazes, all feeling something was off. It was strange that Zachary had actually returned to the Collins family. "Sean." Rebecca saw someone else entering behind him and immediately asked, "Did you follow him the whole time? Did you notice anything unusual?" Sean bent slightly, his face carrying a polite smile as he respectfully replied, "No abnormalities w

The situation between Zachary and Jane's relationship had not been made public. It was normal for the employees at the company not to know about it. Zachary did not answer when people congratulated him, and Lexi stood silently by his side, not saying anything either. But to those around them, their actions were as good as an admission.Some people even offered their congratulations, but Zachary didn't acknowledge them. He didn't go upstairs. Instead, he turned and left the building. This time, he didn't even get into Lexi's car. The smell inside the car was too overwhelming, making him dizzy.Lexi followed him, and they entered a nearby cafe. He didn't go straight to Jane's place, but Lexi knew that was just a way of hiding his true intentions. However, she wasn't concerned. After all, the Collins family would never approve of him being with Jane. She just needed to give him a bit of time to play along."Mr. Collins, aren't you going to consider my suggestion?" Lexi asked with a sli
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 854
The shock from the Collins family was too much for her. She wouldn't take the initiative, nor would she have the courage to continue with him.So what other way did he have?He'd tried both soft and hard tactics, yet this situation was still more complicated than advanced mathematics.The next day.Lexi invited Zachary out.But the Collins family hesitated.Rebecca said, "Why don't you two spend some more time getting to know each other at home first?"Lexi smiled. "Mrs. Collins, I know what you're worried about, but that woman is no longer in Jeswood."Rebecca was aware of this.After all, they had been keeping an eye on Jane's movements. They even knew where she was staying.It was surprising that Lexi had just returned a day ago, yet she had already figured it out.This kind of method and family background was exactly what the Collins family needed.It was also what Zachary needed."I've erased all traces. Even if he wants to find her today, he won't be able to, and it

The landlord nodded understandingly. "You young people do have a lot of new ideas."They chatted casually and soon reached the large square.The stage had already been set up.They had arrived early, but there were already a lot of people gathered.Jane commented, "It's quite formal."The landlord proudly replied, "This isn't just a community event, there are even celebrities."Jane became a little curious and wanted to see what celebrities were here.It turned out to be an R-list boy band, along with a few elderly artists.Well, it was still a big stage.She watched for a while, but soon lost interest. She made an excuse to go to the bathroom.Under the cover of night, she wandered around.She spotted a small shop and bought a bag of cheese-flavored chips to eat.This kind of life, she thought, couldn't last long. She hoped Zachary would hurry up and get married, so he would stop bothering her."Jane..." Jane was lost in thought when the voice startled her, almost caus

"Stop dreaming."Lexi, despite her feelings for Zachary, couldn't suppress her anger anymore."You want to marry that woman? That's nothing but wishful thinking."Zachary's gaze was icy, and every word he spoke, from his thin lips, carried a chilling frost."Her name is Jane."Lexi, at this point in her life, had never met a man who not only showed no interest in her but also repeatedly poked at her vulnerabilities."The more you protect her, the more dangerous she becomes. My offer won't change. You'll come to me eventually."With that, she turned, her heels clicking sharply as she walked toward the door."Excuse me, open the door."Sean opened the door.Lexi held her head high as she walked downstairs.Sean was about to close the door when Zachary threw the food outside.He even "thoughtfully" closed the door after that.When Rebecca saw the untouched food that Sean had brought down, she couldn't help but feel some pity."Not eating yet?"She had just praised Lexi for
