Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 271
When she saw him arrive, Bethany immediately restrained her previously sharp and unpleasant expression, though she still seemed agitated, muttering, "You always help outsiders!"Mrs. Shaw also softened her stance compared to before and asked, "Why?""I told my grandmother I would send her a few sets of custom-made clothes." Frank smiled. "This weekend, I'm taking Charlotte back to listen to what my grandmother wants. If you bully her and she refuses to talk to me, how am I supposed to explain things to my grandmother?"Upon hearing those words, Bethany's expression turned fierce. "You're taking her to meet Madam Smith?""Does it concern you?" Frank was terse and didn't bother to say more.Bethany snorted coldly. "Madam Smith always values rules and reputation. How could she allow a bitch like her...""Bethany, if my grandmother can tolerate someone like you, Ms. Wilson should definitely be liked by her."Even in front of Mrs. Shaw, Frank didn't spare Bethany any face.Mrs. Shaw

"Huh?" I was puzzled, "Waiting for me to finish work?"What the hell is he up to now?"I had a friend drop me off just now. I don't have a car." As he spoke, he extended his wrist towards me to show the time. "You're about to finish work soon. Can you give me a lift?""I'll call a taxi for you." I took out my phone, but he frowned and said softly, "I never travel in taxis."‘Alright then. It's only natural for a prince to have a prince's airs.’I had nothing to say. "Then you can wait here."I turned and went back into my office. It wasn't long before Jane came over.She gave me a knowing look, "Why is that prince from the Smith family staying here and not leaving?""Waiting for a lift," I replied helplessly.Jane sat in the chair opposite me, resting her elbows on the desk and supporting her face with her hands."I just saw that the mother and daughter seem to be quite afraid of him. Maybe you should try to improve your relationship with him? If something happens, he could

My first reaction was a moment of bewilderment, followed by amusement. ‘Vicious?’When they kidnapped me and left me injured from head to toe, they didn't reflect on their own actions. Now, I merely had Zack replicate my injuries onto Bethany. It seemed that they have a different set of standards for others.So the daughters from affluent families were more precious and the ordinary people were inferior? The two sets of standards were really unreasonable."Are you going to speak or not? Feeling guilty, are you? Fine, since you've played the part of the villain, don't blame me for retaliating!" Mrs. Shaw continued to shout angrily on the other end of the line.The phone was connected via the car's Bluetooth, so Frank naturally heard everything clearly.I barely had a chance to speak before Frank started, "Mrs. Shaw, it's unfair to accuse Ms. Wilson. I've been at her company all afternoon just to get a lift and haven't seen her associating with anyone suspicious."With just a few w

‘Does he have a personal vendetta with Bethany?’He lowered his head and his tone was casual. "Don't flatter yourself. I just happened to want to deal with her too."I readily agreed, "Alright then, today's matter is on you."Not only could I get revenge on Bethany, but I could also distance myself from the situation. Why not?Frank glanced at me sideways, a chuckle escaped his throat. "Charlotte, you really know how to take advantage of opportunities, don't you?""Kind of!" I smiled. "By the way, when did you find out about this?"Frank looked at me as if I were naive. "Do you think Zack would take action without informing me first?"I frowned and thought about it, then understood. "I see."Zack would have informed Frank about it. If Frank gave his approval, it would mean Zack was doing Frank a favor, especially since I had requested his support that day. If something went wrong, Frank would cover for him.If Frank intervened, Zack would avoid the risk of retaliation from the

We were all adults here. Given the conversations we had recently, I understood what his gestures and attentions meant.I was somewhat at a loss for how to respond.I had already said what needed to be said on that day.Frequent refusals could lead to awkwardness and might even jeopardize our friendship.Jack hesitated slightly. "Charlotte, have I given you any burden?"I fiddled with my cutlery, and before I could speak, he continued thoughtfully, "I've said before, you don't need to respond to anything. Just consider this as care between friends.""In the future, when you're ready to start a new relationship, we can take it slow," he added.My heart warmed.Had I not experienced the failed marriage with Ryan, or if I were still at an impulsive age, hearing those words might have led me to fall deeply for him.But now, I... was too afraid.The cost of becoming emotionally involved was too great.I slowly loosened my grip on the cutlery. "What if that day never comes?"Since

Most people knock on doors with a pattern of either two short knocks and one long or two long and one short.But this person outside was different. Knock knock, knock knock, knock knock, knock, knock knock, knock—Knock knock, knock knock, knock, knock, knock knock, knock knock, knock, knock—Knock, knock—knock! Knock, knock—knock!The knocking rhythm even reminded me of a familiar childhood tune.But that didn't help with my morning grumpiness.I shuffled out of the bedroom in my slippers, grumpily opened the door, and saw Frank standing there in a loose hoodie, his hair somewhat disheveled.Seeing me still in my pajamas, he smirked. "Charlotte, do you remember that you need to go to Jeswood today?""Of course I remember. I sent you a WhatsApp message last night asking about the departure time, but you didn't reply."Since I still needed his help with the Jeswood market, my morning grumpiness showed, though it was somewhat considerate."I was just trying to let you sleep in

The Smith family mansion was expansive, exuding both heritage and a vintage charm. It was clear at a glance that the house had been passed down through generations. While the exterior had been renovated, the interior still retained traces of its historical past.Unlike the opulence I had imagined, the mansion had a more understated elegance. Even a small decorative porcelain vase in the corner was a Medieval antique, worth over a hundred million.Frank had long, slender legs but walked at a leisurely pace, with his hands casually in his pockets, unhurried.He guided me past the vast dining hall and headed straight for the back garden. From a distance, I saw two elegantly dressed elderly ladies.One was sitting by the fireplace, sipping tea, while the other was pruning a nearby potted plant with scissors.Frank walked over, poured himself a cup of tea, and with a playful grin, said, "Madams, you're in much better shape than me. You're still doing outdoor activities even in this c

The atmosphere was very comfortable.After chatting for a while, I took out a soft tape measure from my bag to take the measurements of Madam Smith.Frank instructed, "Ms. Wilson, make sure to take measurements for Madam Shaw as well.""Sure."The more people, the more design orders—something I was more than happy to accommodate.Madam Shaw waved her hand, "I don't need it...""Grandma!"Frank interrupted, coaxing her gently, "If you refuse, it will look like I'm showing favoritism.""Alright, alright," Madam Shaw agreed with a smile.Just after finishing the measurements, the butler came to announce that dinner was ready.However, Frank received a phone call and had to leave suddenly. Before he left, he handed me a room card.I didn't want to stay any longer, so I said, "I should be going too. I'll leave with you.""Charlotte," Madam Smith called out warmly. "Don't mind him. Stay and enjoy the meal. After dinner, I'll arrange for the driver to take you to the hotel.""Don

Jane leaned in for a sniff. "Smells so good."Zachary’s worries were unnecessary, she only took a few bites before losing interest.The rest ended up in his stomach.Which then found its way to the toilet, and finally, down the drain.After Zachary rinsed his mouth, Jane peeled an orange for him. "Try this, see if it helps."Zachary ate the orange directly from her hand.It was so sour it made his teeth ache.Still, it seemed to provide some relief.Jane poured him some water."You don’t need to take care of me, I can handle myself.""And I can handle myself too," Jane retorted. "Why are you always doing things for me, then?""It’s different—you’re pregnant."Zachary drank a sip of the water, mostly because she had poured it."I’m just throwing up a little," said Jane.She had experienced it before—constant retching, even with nothing left in her stomach. That kind of discomfort was hard to endure.His voice was hoarse by now, which showed just how bad it had gotten.At

However, the test results showed nothing wrong.Even after being in a coma for those days, his body remained strong thanks to the nutritional IV.As long as he avoided alcohol and irritating foods, his gastritis wouldn't flare up.It certainly wouldn't become severe enough to cause this kind of reaction.Yet Zachary's vomiting was even more intense than her pregnancy nausea.Even though there was nothing left to throw up—not even stomach acid—if he kept going, he might end up vomiting bile.It really didn’t seem like the symptoms of someone perfectly healthy.So Jane contacted Tanner.After hearing her description, Tanner chuckled.Jane felt as though Tanner was gloating."Isn’t this great? He’s throwing up for you, so you can feel a bit better."Jane was taken aback.Over the time she had spent taking Zachary to the doctor, she truly hadn’t felt any discomfort herself.She had thought it was because she hadn’t eaten much, so her symptoms were temporarily subsiding."Dr.

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
