Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 208
It could be said that since grandpa's passing, Lauren had probably become the only warmth he could find in familial bonds. But now... if what Jessica said was true, then his concept of family affection would be completely shattered. Emotions that had persisted for a decade or two would all be shattered together. Growing up in an unsatisfactory original family, experiencing this again could be another heavy blow.However, I did not agree with Albert's approach. Some things were better to be faced with immediate pain rather than prolonged agony. I stared firmly at Ryan. "Would you believe what I say?"His voice was gentle. "Yes."He must have thought about it for a long time before deciding to ask me, so his answer was not hesitant.Now that I had no more reservations, I picked up the coffee and took a sip. "If I were to say... the words I said in the hospital room that day...""Ryan!"The office door suddenly swung open without warning, accompanied by a crisp female voice that for

‘Suicide? So, is suicide their family's specialty, passed down through the generations?’ I wondered.I didn’t know what mentality I was in, but almost involuntarily, I asked, "Do you need me to go with you?"Maybe I wanted to see for myself if it was true or false.Or perhaps, I was afraid... afraid that if something really happened, Ryan wouldn't have anyone he could trust by his side.Ryan looked at me with surprise. "Can you?""Let's go." I picked up my bag and went with him to the hospital.When we arrived at the hospital, Lauren was still in the emergency room, and Jessica and John were waiting outside.The scene struck me as somewhat comical.But at such a tense moment, I shouldn't be laughing, so I mentally reviewed all the unhappy events in my life.Ryan, Jessica, John, plus Lauren inside the emergency room.If you were to draw a relationship diagram of these four people, it would probably resemble a chaotic spider web.Jessica suddenly rushed over and shoved me forc

Jessica clenched her fists quietly, her face filled with regret and stumbling through her confession, "I... I felt humiliated being publicly scolded by her, and in a fit of anger... I said those slanderous words about Mom! I was wrong... Ryan..."Her acting was truly impressive. If I hadn't already known the truth from Grandpa, I might have believed her story.Ryan's gaze fell on John, he squinted his eyes slightly. "What do you have to say?""What do I have to say?" John forced himself to remain calm. "If Lauren really was a mistress, how could we have waited five whole years after your mom's death to get married?"As he finished speaking, the door to the emergency room opened.Ryan remained skeptical and looked at the doctor. "How serious is it?""Mr. Frost." The doctor came out, removed his mask, and looked serious. "She lost a lot of blood. Luckily, she was brought in just in time. If it had been any later, she might not have made it."Visibly, Ryan's tense body relaxed a li

It was Bethany.She stood in the blood-soaked area wearing white ankle boots. Seeing me stop closing the door, she slowly withdrew her hand, crossing it in front of her chest. "Charlotte, I advise you to back off. Stop entangling with Ryan."She found my home address so quickly.I furrowed my brows. "Whether it's you or Jessica, if you're sick, go to the hospital or find Ryan. Don't bother me.""Hey, stop pretending!"She glanced inside the house and sneered. "I've checked. If it weren't for marrying Ryan, you, an orphan with deceased parents, wouldn't afford to live in a house like this even after several lifetimes."She lifted her chin, displaying the arrogance exclusive to the wealthy.Losing my patience, I said coldly, "Oh, and what about you? If it weren't for your good fortune to be adopted by the Shaw family, could you stand here and talk like this? Could you arrogantly meddle in other people's marriages?"Everyone knew how to make others feel uncomfortable.She offende

His voice was as casual, but Bethany seemed somewhat afraid of him.The arrogant expression on her face completely vanished. Pouting, she said in a coquettish voice, "Jack, why are you looking at me like that! I just came to talk to Miss Wilson, is that not allowed?"Jack cocked his brows. "Then are you done talking?""I-I'm done," Bethany answered nervously. Seeing Jack still expressionless, she suddenly became angry. "Why are you and Frank both such jerks? All you do is bully me! Just wait until my parents come in a few days, see if I'm still afraid of you guys!"After saying these harsh words, she left in her high heels, visibly angry, her footsteps loud.Once she turned and disappeared, Jack looked at the bloodstains at my doorstep, took out his phone, and made a call to the cleaning company to arrange for a cleanup.Then, he looked at me helplessly. "Did she scare you?""To be honest, I was a bit startled at first." I smiled and stepped aside to let him in, taking a pair of

Jack suddenly turned around, his bright and compelling eyes looking at me, as if filled with starlight, and unexpectedly asked such a question.I was caught completely off guard, my mind blank for a moment.I had never considered such a matter before.Whether during university or after he returned to the country, I had always regarded him as a good friend.I struggled to free myself from a muddy marriage, and he also had someone he deeply loved for many years. Two people like us should be best suited to remain friends of the opposite sex. No one would need to worry about anything.Under Jack's gaze, I couldn't help but feel a bit awkward. "J-Jack...""Alright." Jack let out a muffled laugh and joked, "Just messing with you. How did you get so scared? You said I'm a good guy, looks like you were lying?""N-No, that's not it." I breathed a sigh of relief and awkwardly rubbed my nose, explaining, "I just thought that question came out of nowhere."It was too sudden.After all, I

"Yeah, I want to give it a try.""You can do it," he looked at me and said with determination.I felt genuinely happy from the bottom of my heart and sincerely said, "Jack, this time, really, thank you!"Although he casually brushed it off, I could still imagine the effort he must have put into retrieving the Charlotte Jewelry.Jack sighed helplessly. "Thank me for what? I originally wanted to reclaim your parents' company as well, but they wouldn't sell it.""This is already more than enough," I replied earnestly. "Having the Charlotte Jewelry is sufficient.""I'm glad I could help."He breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the entrance, opened the door and glanced outside, furrowing his brows slightly. Then he looked back at me. "Charlotte, do you have a rag?""What's wrong?""The cleaning lady didn't quite clean up properly. I'll wipe it again," Jack said gently. "After all, it's blood. I don't want you to see it and get scared.""It's okay."I gathered the documents into

'One really couldn't avoid their enemies.' The first word that came to mind when I turned around and saw Frank's bright handsome face.Jack also glanced at him, furrowing his brows slightly. "You live here, Mr. Frank?"That was exactly the question I wanted to ask.With his background, he could have chosen any villa district casually. How could he be living in a place like this, with its humble atmosphere?Frank smiled casually. "Keeping someone company."'Keeping someone company? Wasn't he earnestly searching for a young fiancee? How did he end up with a child already? But then again, in wealthy families like theirs, it was common to have a couple of illegitimate children making an appearance.'Jack smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries with Frank, then brought his luggage from the elevator lobby and carried it into his apartment.Watching him prepare to continue helping me unpack, I quickly waved my hands. "Jack, no need. Jane will be here soon to help me. You should go focu

Jane washed her face, took a moment to gather herself, then straightened up and hugged him."Stop reflecting on yourself already, hearing it makes my pregnancy symptoms worse."The tactic worked well, as she didn’t hear any more apologies from him afterward."I feel like eating an orange. Could you peel one for me?"Zachary immediately carried her to the sofa, tucked a blanket over her, and sat beside her to peel the orange.He meticulously removed every single white thread from the orange segments.Resting her chin on her hand, Jane watched him and teased, "You’re treating me even better now that I’m pregnant. Do you love the baby more than me?"Without hesitation, Zachary replied, "It’s because pregnancy is hard on you. If you hadn’t agreed to have the baby, I wouldn’t have kept—"Before he could finish, Jane kicked him, silencing him.He handed her the peeled orange.Jane couldn’t taste her mood anymore, so she focused on eating the orange.Zachary felt his teeth ache jus

"I envy his fiancee so much!""You women are so shallow. Just because he’s buying some raviolis, you think he’s humbled himself for love. Why don’t you think about this—he’s the son of an affluent family. If he hadn’t picked someone from such a poor background, why would he come to this rundown place to buy these commoner foods?"As soon as the man finished speaking, he felt a sharp, cold gaze land on him.The people who had been enthusiastically discussing with him moments earlier suddenly avoided looking at him.But Zachary merely glanced at him.His raviolis were already packed, and he was eager to bring them back for Jane.He didn’t linger long, nor did he feel the need to waste his words on clueless fools like these.Besides, even if he explained, they probably wouldn’t understand—or even care.Meanwhile, Jane had been leaning against the car window, watching Zachary the whole time. When she saw him walking back, she opened the car door for him.“Hurry, get in.”Zachary

They were heading back to their cozy little nest.On the way, her phone rang. When she saw the caller ID, she slapped Zachary’s thigh.“Oh no!”Zachary looked confused.“I forgot about Jordan!”Jordan had mentioned that she would be filming, and Westley had been by her side the entire time to protect her.Jane, preoccupied with her own matters, had assumed that with Westley around, nothing would go wrong.Her return to the country had been a last-minute decision, and she had left in a hurry.She was also dealing with the discomfort of her pregnancy.All the emotions and tasks piling up caused her to completely forget.Sure enough, when she answered the call, Jordan’s voice was full of grievance.“Aren’t we good friends?”“Yes, yes, we are,” Jane replied with an awkward cough. “Something urgent came up, so... I’m sorry.”Jordan, however, was gracious. “I understand your situation is special. Just treat me to a meal to make up for it. I’ll be flying to Jeswood soon.”“Alrig

Madam Collins’ words seemed caring, but in reality, they were meant as a warning.Zachary gently pulled his arm back and said, "No wedding, just getting the marriage certificate."“No way!” Rebecca objected.Madam Collins spoke calmly, “Registering the marriage is also a happy occasion, but it’s not suitable right now. I see your relationship is so strong, waiting a little longer won’t make a difference. The Collins family’s bloodline will never end up being talked about as illegitimate. Don’t worry about that.”Zachary wanted to say more, but Jane tugged on his arm.“I’m feeling a little unwell.”Zachary’s expression immediately changed. Without arguing with the family any further, he carried her straight to the doctor.When they reached the obstetrics department, she patted Zachary’s shoulder and said, “Put me down.”“Aren’t you...” Zachary instantly understood. “You’re trying to get me out of there?”Jane wrapped her arms around his neck and nuzzled him with her nose.“Pre

"I’m fine. I’ve already recovered quite a bit," Zachary said as he bent one knee to the floor.Jane instinctively wanted to kneel with him, but Zachary stopped her. "You can’t," he said, giving her a meaningful look.Understanding his intent, Jane obediently stood to the side.Rebecca became agitated. "Do your knees mean nothing to you? You’ve knelt once for her, and now again!"Lowering his gaze, Zachary said calmly, "I’m kneeling in front of my parents. There’s no question of whether it’s worth it or not. She is my fiancee, soon to be my wife. If she has caused you any displeasure, it’s my responsibility to bear it. What’s more, she hasn’t done anything wrong."Rebecca wanted to lash out, but Eric intervened. "Do you want to make your condition even worse with this anger?"A flicker of emotion passed through Zachary’s eyes, but his tone remained neutral. "I don’t understand. I only want to marry the person I love and have children. Why must you go to such lengths to oppose it

"Why are your hands so cold?"Zachary became even more anxious. He immediately picked her up, placed her on the seat, added another blanket, and asked the flight attendant to increase the temperature of the air conditioning."It’s not that cold."It was already spring. With all these layers on, Jane was worried she’d end up with a heat rash."I just washed my hands a moment ago," she explained.Zachary brought over a hand warmer for her. "Washing your hands doesn’t make them this cold. Just listen to me."Jane sighed. "It’s normal to feel nauseous during pregnancy. There might even be other symptoms later...""No, there won’t be. Nothing else will happen."Jane wanted to explain some of the facts so he could mentally prepare. When Charlotte was pregnant, Jane had read many books. If he was already this anxious now about the morning sickness, how would he handle what came later?Unexpectedly, he refused to accept any of it.Charlotte, observing the scene, couldn’t help but fee

She changed the topic, saying, "Your mother is ill."After boarding the plane, Zachary called home to check on the situation.Frank, sitting beside him, briefly explained what had happened during Zachary's coma.Zachary thought for a moment, then grabbed a blanket and returned to Jane's side, covering her with it.On the table in front of her were a tablet, fruits, water, and everything else she might need.Even so, Zachary still felt he hadn't taken care of her well enough."Do you feel uncomfortable? I heard your medical results weren’t great. If it might harm your health, then maybe..."Jane stuffed an orange into his mouth before he could finish.The orange was incredibly sour. She enjoyed it, but it made his handsome face scrunch up."Is it good?" she asked, her face full of triumphant delight.Zachary swallowed it whole and said, "Anything you feed me tastes good."Across from them, Charlotte was rendered speechless.Frank showed up just in time, popping a piece of c

Frank found the situation boring and clicked his tongue dismissively.Charlotte asked, “Wouldn’t you be happy to have such an adorable daughter?”Zachary glanced at Gemma.The little girl smiled, revealing two dimples, her big, gem-like eyes sparkling.She looked like a delicate doll.Of course, he would be thrilled to have such a cute daughter with Jane.But the one in front of him clearly wasn’t his.She didn’t resemble him or Jane in the slightest.Neither of them had dimples.If nothing else, at least a trait like his sharp canine teeth should have been passed down.But the little girl had none of those.“We will have a lovely daughter,” Zachary said confidently.Charlotte stepped aside, taking Gemma with her, leaving the two of them space.Forgetting Frank for a moment, she suddenly heard him drawl, “Congratulations, you might be having a daughter soon.”“What?”Charlotte quickly clamped her hand over Frank’s mouth and dragged him away.“Surprises like this should

Charlotte couldn’t help but sigh. “Can things really balance out like that? With the current situation, Mrs. Collins will inevitably use her health problems to threaten them into breaking up. If Zachary cuts ties with his family for Jane, it’ll only make her feel worse.”Frank lifted her face again. “Let me see if you’ve gotten wrinkles yet.”Charlotte pushed him away. “When will you ever stop joking around?”Frank chuckled. “Is cheering you up a crime now?”“It depends on the timing.”“No matter the timing, my wife’s happiness is always the most important.”Charlotte was helpless against Frank.Frank raised his hand and lightly tapped her cheek with the back of it.“Let Zachary handle his family’s affairs. Even if you keep worrying, you won’t be able to solve anything.”Hearing his words, Charlotte suddenly felt a bit clearer.“You and Zachary have a plan, don’t you?”Frank looked at her brightened eyes, and a laugh spilled from his chest.With a cryptic tone, he said, “Gu
