Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 213
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

I walked over and saw the lewd scene on his phone screen, immediately turning to leave!What he showed me was the video from that night of Jessica and John."What's the rush?"He stretched out his long legs, blocking my path, and pulled back on the progress bar.The video screen turned pitch black, but I could hear voices.And it was a voice I knew very well."Can you keep this to yourself for now?""I can. What's in it for me?""What do you want in return?""I haven't decided yet. How about this. You promise me something. When I figure it out, I'll let you know.""Deal."After hearing this conversation, I looked up at him in shock and disbelief. "You actually recorded it?"It seemed like there was no order to things, but when it came to doing things, there were no holes at all."Just happened to catch it." He chuckled softly, unabashed and arrogant. "Does this count as evidence?""You're ruthless." I was somewhat speechless, and my tone wasn't nice. "Spit it out. What do

I pondered deeply, trying to simplify the complicated mess of relationships and explain it to Jane in the simplest way possible.In the end, it was a failure.I gave up thinking and just started tidying up while explaining everything to Jane clearly and straightforwardly.Finally, she understood.She summarized with a question, "So he's Ryan's future brother-in-law?"I was stunned, unable to decide whether to laugh or cry. "Who else can keep up with your quick thinking?"Aunt Laura must have come early to clean up the house, leaving it spotless.After organizing our belongings, we collapsed on the sofa.Jane glanced at me. "Didn't you say you had something important to discuss with me? What is it?"I handed her the documents that Jack had given me. "I want to start my own business. Are you interested in joining?""Of course!" Her eyes lit up with excitement.I chuckled. "So, when you told me about quitting at the hospital last time and said you had plans, were you lying to m

Not only the smell of smoke but there also a hint of alcohol."You've been drinking?""Yeah."He lowered his eyelids. "Had a few extra with Tom.""Oh." I nodded gently. "Then you... should go back and get some rest!"As for him and me, it was better not to have any further contact."I just want to be with you."He was stubborn like a child demanding a toy and was about to enter the house.Instinctively, I blocked him and stepped back. He suddenly staggered backwards, and I was startled. I hurried forward to steady him.‘You call this a few extra drinks?’With his tolerance, a few drinks shouldn't affect him like this.Moreover, if he had time to drink with Tom, it probably meant things with the Frost family were almost settled. Perhaps the marriage alliance with the Shaw family was really happening.Everything was going so smoothly, so what could possibly make him drink so much?But before I could dwell on it, he leaned on me, burying his head in the crook of my neck, and

Upon hearing this, Jane not only wasn't disappointed but gossiped eagerly, "Are you going with Frank who lives across from you?""How did you know?""Who else around you do I not know? Besides me, there's Jack and Ryan. You wouldn't bother with Ryan, and if it were Jack, you'd have told me directly. By process of elimination, it had to be Frank."My gaze fell on the distant high-rise buildings flashing neon lights, and I chuckled softly. "Alright, alright. Nothing escapes your eyes."After chatting aimlessly with her for a while longer, I hung up and turned around to see the man who was already awake.I put away my phone, suppressed my smile, and said calmly, "Since you're awake, you should go back."His dark eyes stared at me. "Are you trying to avoid me now?""No." I shook my head and walked into the living room. "I just want to avoid trouble for myself."As everyone perceived, as someone without parents and without anyone to rely on, where would I get the qualification to co

Waiting for him to come home at night, and waking up in the morning to see him sleeping beside me—this sense of happiness once deeply ensnared me. It was just that once the illusion was shattered, there was no going back. I even felt how foolish I was back then.A wave of bitterness surged from the depths of my heart. I turned my head slightly, sniffed, and didn't continue the conversation.I didn't know what else I could say.Should I pity myself or take the opportunity to scold him?Neither would make any sense.Ryan took a deep breath. "Now, I realize... Lauren seems different from what I remembered."I pursed my lips. "When she saved you back then, how old were you?""12 years old."Ryan remembered clearly and answered without hesitation.I couldn't help muttering, "No wonder you were so easy to deceive."Anyone would be grateful if someone saved them. Especially when their savior became hospitalized after helping them. Moreover, knowing Lauren's methods, I could almost i

"I want to explain."Westley embraced her, lowering his head to whisper, as though they were deeply in love."I won’t repeat the same mistakes again as before, and I won’t make the same mistake multiple times."Jordan shrank her neck, trying to avoid him.His warm breath brushed against her ear, it was ticklish.But she couldn’t break free from him, so she could only try to move away as much as possible."Let go of me first."Westley lowered his head and kissed her ear."Since you’re here, let’s finish what we started."Jordan was unwilling. "You handle your own problems, don’t drag me into your competition with other women."Westley stared at her for a moment, not loosening his arm but pulling her closer."She already holds a grudge against you. It’s safer for you to stay by my side. Oh, by the way, just so you know, she’s a princess."Jordan slapped the cream cake in her hand right onto his face.She couldn’t hide her emotions, anger clearly written on her face.She wan

Jordan finally finished planting all the saplings and now all she had to do was wait for them to bloom.But she probably wouldn’t be able to see the flowers. She hoped the pear trees would grow wildly here."Mrs. Howard." Buck brought her a dress. "Mr. Howard said that there is a party tonight and would like to request your company."Jordan refused without hesitation.Buck added, "There’s also an auction, with many fun and interesting items. Don’t you want to buy gifts for your sister and little nephew?"Mentioning her sister and nephew made Jordan waver.Jane liked interesting things, and Jordan couldn’t easily go out on her own to gather them.And now, she had the opportunity.But she didn’t want to attend the event with Westley."Mrs. Howard, if I were you, I would go."Jordan ignored him. He was on Westley’s side.Buck’s mouth twitched, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "When Mr. Howard broke your heart, you should have asked for more money from him, to get revenge and s

Carter had hit a wall at every turn.He had also been poked at his sore spot, and his long-established cold and distant persona was on the verge of crumbling."Forget about Zachary and the others, after all, they’re not very close. But how long have I known you? You won't help? I even helped you persuade Jordan."Westley didn’t fall for it. "As for you and Mandy, no one can help. I can’t bring her to Nelana now. You can try convincing Zachary, maybe there’s still a chance."Wasn’t that just stating the obvious?Carter said, "If I could get Zachary's help, would I be telling you all this?"Westley replied, "That’s your problem. Who told you to force her? Back then, she was just a young girl, barely an adult. It’s normal for her to be afraid of you and find you disgusting."A flash of sadness appeared in Carter's eyes."I was just too angry back then. It wasn’t intentional...""I’ve said that too." Westley put down the binoculars. "You saw my outcome. Obviously, it was useless."

"Jane, don't argue with Zachary. This time, I am staying here voluntarily," said Jordan."I’ve made a bet with Westley, and there will be a resolution in the end."Jane nodded. "I can let you handle this matter yourself, but you have to promise me that you won’t let yourself get hurt, and you won’t just keep sacrificing yourself. If it becomes unbearable, give it up. I’ll always be here to support you."Jordan nodded. "Okay."The two sisters chatted for a long time, and only when Jane started to feel sleepy did they end the video call.Jordan handed the phone to Buck and closed the door to her room.Buck was left standing there.He felt like he had been completely abandoned, as if everything around him had fallen apart.Anyway, as a sandwich in the middle, he was already crushed, so it didn’t matter anymore.For several days, Jordan got up to eat, and the food was always food prepared by the chef.She hadn’t seen Westley around.She couldn’t really say how she felt. She just

"He is faking his psychological illness," Jordan rebutted.Even if he had one, it had nothing to do with her.Even she didn’t have any psychological issues, how could someone with such a strong mind like Westley have any psychological issues?He shouldn’t blame her for everything.Having seen enough, she turned around and walked away.But Carter called her back. "He once took good care of you, and you're going to be this heartless?"Jordan wasn’t familiar with Carter. He was usually a man of few words with a cold personality.If she greeted him, he wouldn’t respond. If she talked too much, she might get an icy look in return.She really didn’t expect that one day, he would try to mediate between her and Westley."You should focus more on your own matters," she said.His own love life was a mess, so what right did he have to interfere in hers?Jordan’s emotions were written all over her face, she didn’t hide them.Carter could guess how she was feeling just by looking at her

Jane didn’t care about Westley. Even if he was feeling it now, it was too late for regrets.If he hadn’t acted the way he did, Jordan wouldn’t have suffered so much.Moreover, he had once ignored her cries for help, so now he shouldn’t blame Jordan for his injuries.“How’s my sister?” she asked.Roy replied, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Collins, Ms. Hickey is doing fine. Except for the lack of freedom, there are no other restrictions.”“When can I have a video call with her?”Roy thought for a moment. “Since Mr. Howard is now delirious, I can make the arrangements.”“Thank you,” said Jane.“It’s no trouble, it’s my job.”After hanging up the phone, Jane looked at Zachary and asked, “What do you think?”Zachary moved the phone a little farther away to avoid radiation.After finishing the massage, he helped her lie down and said, “I’m thinking what you’re thinking.”Jane gave him a sidelong glance. “You’re slick.”Zachary smirked and bent down to kiss her forehead.“Get some rest.”

"Mrs. Howard—"Buck watched helplessly as Jordan jumped into the sea.Before he could rush over, a figure was even faster than him."Sir!"Westley dived into the water, found Jordan, and dragged her to the shore.When Jordan was pulled onto the shore, she was still a bit dazed.Wasn't she just swimming? Why was there so much fuss?Buck gestured for people to bring a stretcher, lifted Westley onto it, and hurried back.Buck also called for the maids to help Jordan back.Jordan wiped her face, pushed the maid aside, and twisted the water out of her hair. "What happened?"Buck was anxious to check on Westley, but he couldn’t stop watching Jordan, worried she might jump into the sea again and trying to think of other ways to prevent it."Mr. Howard was saving you.""Why?" Jordan was confused. "I didn’t drown. What’s the need to save me?"Buck recalled what he had seen earlier. It seemed like... swimming?"Weren’t you... jumping into the sea?""Yes." Jordan didn’t notice Buck

"Nathan, you should head back and deal with your own matters. Let's not interfere with Jordan's matters anymore."Nathan didn’t expect Jane to say this. He paused for a moment before speaking. "You know better than I do what Westley has done. How can we just ignore it? Jordan is still young and hasn’t experienced much in terms of relationships. She lacks experience, what if she falls again..."Jane knew what he was talking about and comforted him. "Don’t worry. Jordan may have experienced little in terms of relationships, but she’s not a foolish girl. She knows how to handle things."Nathan asked, "Is it because there’s something Westley knows?""No, it’s because we can't let Westley continue making a scene. This matter still needs to be handled by the person involved."Nathan didn’t say anything more and told Jane not to worry. When it was close to her delivery, he would come back.Jane agreed and hung up the phone.She threw the phone onto the counter and hugged Zachary from b

Charlotte raised her hand and gently patted Jane’s shoulder."I understand, after all, she's your sister. But I think Jordan is very smart and capable, she can take care of herself. You can worry, but at the same time, take care of your own health. Then, when she comes back, you can love her properly."Jordan walked around the island.There was a helipad on the mountain with two helicopters.Out at sea, there was a large cruise ship docked.But she didn’t know how to pilot any of them, so there was no way to escape.In the end, she decided to just accept things as they were.If there was a problem, she would deal with it. If not, she’d wait."Mrs. Howard, Jasmine is looking for you."When Jordan returned to the villa, Buck handed her a phone.Hearing Jasmine’s name, she took it."Jasmine.""I'm relieved you're okay," said Jasmine, letting out a sigh of relief, then apologizing. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have drunk so much.""It’s not your fault."Since Westley had a plan to
