Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 349
Frank grasped my arm with a firm hold. His usually nonchalant face was now filled with a mix of curiosity and barely restrained excitement, his brown eyes fixed intently on me.He seemed to have even forgotten to breathe.It was as if my answer was of utmost importance to him!"Yes." I was a bit confused. "Why..."The next moment, he pulled me into a tight embrace.His chest was trembling!This hug was entirely different from the measured and restrained one from before. It felt as if he was handling a precious, recovered treasure—overwhelming and impassioned.It was like breaking free from the chains that had bound him for so long.After a while, he reluctantly released me. His smile was one of unprecedented joy, like a simple-minded person. "I knew it was you. You must be her."He pinched my face. "See, I told you I wouldn't fail to recognize you.""Who am I?" I was somewhat dazed by his actions. "Lily?""I'm taking you to meet Grandma."Almost as soon as he finished speak

"Yam? Richard checked the menu beforehand, so it's impossible..."Madam Shaw was quite certain.After all, Lily was allergic to yam, so the Shaw family would certainly be cautious about it.Frank poured a cup of tea for Madam Shaw. "Don't worry, I confirmed with the private restaurant responsible for the dinner. There was indeed yam powder in the desserts.""Then Charlotte..." Madam Shaw actually remembered my yam allergy. "You had rashes all over because you ate yam?""Yes, I didn't pay attention when I ate." I nodded.Frank reminded, "Grandma, it's not just Charlotte who's allergic to yam.""You mean..." Madam Shaw's expression became serious. "Lily didn't show any allergic symptoms... but is it possible she didn't eat those two desserts?""She ate them." Frank's answer was very certain.Madam Shaw was puzzled. "How did you know?"Frank hesitated slightly, looking unusually guilty. "Well, I hacked into the Shaw family's surveillance system and watched the whole banquet."M

I was feeling a bit uncertain as well. After all, I knew very little about Lily.I remained silent and didn’t say anything.Lily moved closer to Frank, crouching beside him like a frightened little bunny. "Frank, what's wrong? Why are you speaking with such a cold voice?""Lily?"Frank eyed her closely. "Do you know when I started suspecting you?""Huh? What are you talking about?"Her eyes were filled with confusion.Frank smiled faintly. "Lily would never call me Frank. She always called me by another name. You gave yourself away the first time we met."That was why Frank had been so certain.But because of that DNA report, he had think things through."I..." Her eyes flickered, and she wrung her hands anxiously, tears seeming to well up. "What... what did I call you when I was a child...""Don’t you know quite a lot about our childhood?" Frank scrutinized her. "Did you forget how to call me among everything else?"‘Frank Smith.’Under his questioning, the first respon

Immediate first aid was administered.Soon, she "woke up."Frank lost patience with the ongoing farce. After bidding farewell to Madam Shaw, he grabbed me by the back of my collar and said, "Let's go.""Why are you always so ungentlemanly?" I glared at him as he tugged my collar, pulling me out of the courtyard. He glanced at me. "Are you hungry?""What do you think?"It was already nearly eight o'clock.Just when I thought he might be polite, he lifted his chin and said, "Let's go. Don't you owe me a few meals? Treat me to dinner."I gave up. ‘Seriously?’But it was a promise I had made. Once we were in the car, I asked, "What do you want to eat?""Spaghetti."I thought he was joking.But when we reached the convenience store, he actually made me get out and buy some spaghetti.Seeing the flavors of the source I bought, his eyes darkened a little more. "Charlotte, if the birthday, blood type, allergen, taste, and my intuition are all just coincidences, then I accept my f

It was to pick me up and take me home.Those words made my eyes water.After all these years.It seemed like no one had ever said that to me before.He was the first.I struggled to keep my eyes wide open, holding back the tears, and looked up at him. "Frank, if I'm not really Lily, can we still be friends?"I found myself harboring a somewhat absurd desire to cling to this bit of warmth.Even if it was just to be friends.Even if we could just be friends.Frank cocked his brows and smiled at me and said casually, "Not possible."I stumbled back to my room.I sat on the sofa, thinking for a while, before realizing I hadn't even figured out whether his response was to the first or the second part of my question.Was it that it was impossible for me not to be Lily?Or was it impossible for us to still be friends?"Hey, just got back?"Jane had just come out of the shower, wiping her hair with a towel.I snapped out of my thoughts and nodded. "Yeah."She applied a face ma

I had previously asked my aunt about my background several times, but each time, the matter was left unresolved. Asking now, she would still not tell me anything.Jane agreed. She leaned back on the sofa, thinking for a while before turning to me with sparkling eyes. "So, you're the one Frank was betrothed to, the legendary little fiancee of his?""Pfft, ahem..."I was drinking water when she suddenly said this, causing me to spit it out and choke badly.I coughed for a while.She laughed and handed me several tissues. "Why are you so nervous?""Who's nervous?""The betrothed fiancee of Frank is nervous." She shook her head and laughed.For two consecutive days, I was somewhat distracted. Just thinking about that paternity test, which could determine my future and negate my past 26 years of life, was overwhelming.It could erase every moment of my parents' love in my memories.I had no sense of security.It felt like I had gone from being a person with roots and a foundation

The urgency and anger that had marked Mrs. Shaw's expression two nights ago were replaced by a light, mocking smile."The report was supposed to come out today. Where is it?""Coming right up." Frank tossed out those two words.Mrs. Shaw turned to me with a sneer. "Ms. Wilson, when the report comes out, I have just one request, never set foot in the Shaw family's house again! You've caused chaos in this household.""Shut up!" shouted Madam Shaw, then gave me a reassuring glance. "Charlotte, don't feel burdened. I’m here with you.""Okay."Hearing those final three words, I felt an inexplicable sense of relief. It was as if no matter what happened, I wouldn't be facing it alone. Even if I truly was Lily and returned to the Shaw family, I would still have Grandma.Mrs. Shaw sneered disdainfully. "Mom, don't waste your efforts with such sentimental nonsense. She can't possibly be Lily.""You're so sure. Have you already seen the results?" asked Frank, sounding somewhat puzzled.M

"Yes, ma’am," the butler responded promptly.Clearly, this "Lily" was indeed a fake.“Lily” panicked. Her dark eyes glistened with tears as she glanced at me, then at Madam Shaw and Bethany. Finally, she collapsed to her knees in front of Frank."Mr. Smith, please spare me!!""I shouldn't have been so deluded, shouldn't have tried to pass myself off as someone else..."Frank, who usually had little patience for others, frowned. "Go beg whoever sent you here.""I..."As her eyes wandered to look elsewhere, Madam Shaw barked, "Flint, hurry up and get her out of here! Mom, if it were up to me, I'd say get rid of her and send her back where she came from."Madam Shaw's eyes narrowed with sharp intent, but she did not respond directly to the woman's pleas. She only looked at Frank."Frank, I assume the report from overseas is already available?""It's out and will be here soon."Frank nodded and checked his watch. "Five minutes.""Good." Madam Shaw sighed in relief.During the

Knock knock—There was a knock at the door.Zachary stood up to open it.Raymond handed him a chicken pizza.He sensed that the atmosphere wasn’t quite right and, gathering some courage, she asked, "Sir, you didn’t have anything for dinner. Should I have the hotel bring something over?"Zachary nodded and mentioned a few dishes.Raymond agreed and went to instruct the hotel.He happened to run into Ross on his way back and they chatted."I have no idea what Miss Greenwood might want. Mr. Collins doesn’t even know what he likes to eat himself, but he remembers what she likes."Ross, eating a sandwich, said, "Doesn’t Mr. Collins like roast chicken?"He remembered that when Miss Greenwood brought food to the Mr. Collins’s house last time, she had mentioned it.Raymond shot him a look. "You’re a blockhead. That’s what Miss Greenwood likes. Now, the things that Mr. Collins like are because they’re what Miss Greenwood likes."Ross blinked. "Oh."Raymond was rendered speechless.

Jane said, "This is not something you should be doing.""I caused the injury, so I should be the one to handle it.""I'll do it myself!"Zachary held her hands, "You can't see the injury, you have long nails as well. What if you hurt yourself again? I think I should apply the medicine."Jane felt helpless."Zachary, I’ll just ask you one thing, can you understand what I’m saying?""I’ve already ordered pizza. It’ll be delivered soon."‘As expected, he doesn’t understand what I said,’ thought Jane.Jane was no match for Zachary in terms of strength or words, so she ended up crying.Zachary stopped.Jane immediately broke free from his hands and sat on the other side of the bed."Do you only feel happy when you see me in pain?"Zachary pursed his lips. "No.""Then why do you insist on forcing me to do things I don't want to do? I’m a person, not some item that you can do whatever you want to.""Is that how you see me?" Zachary looked at her, his eyes darkened slightly. "I l

"I was just handling some matters, but I can't tell you. Please understand."Jane seemed to believe him and nodded. "I see."Raymond also nodded. "That's right."Jane smiled. "You were handling matters, but what about the others?""They also have their own matters to deal with.""So..." Jane’s gaze suddenly became sharp. "You all went off to work, but there's no one guarding the hotel entrance? Aren’t you worried that while he’s in bed with me, his enemies might come and kill him? After all, the bed is when a man is most vulnerable. You’re a man, so you should understand that, right?"For a moment, Raymond seemed distracted, as if he had seen his Mr. Collins casually asking him what mistake he had made.Then, with a cold tone, he would be sent off to Afrealia, just like Roy.The more you say, the more mistakes you make. He stopped explaining and simply said."Miss Greenwood, it’s not safe outside. You should stay in the hotel and wait for Mr. Collins."Jane didn’t believe the

He placed the pillow behind her waist and asked gently, "What do you want to eat? I’ll have someone prepare it."Jane glared at him and said, "Get out!"Zachary took her hand and said, "There’s a banquet tomorrow. Come with me."Jane pulled her hand back and replied coldly, "You’re really sick.""Yes, and you’re the reason I”m sick."Jane raised her hand, intending to hit him. "Get out!"Zachary grabbed her wrist and smiled.Jane felt that he was seriously ill and decided it was better to just leave.But as soon as she lifted the blanket, a cold wind blew, and she quickly pulled it back up."Turn around!"Her teeth were clenched in anger, wishing she could bite him.Zachary's gaze slid over her body. "What are you hiding?""I..."Jane covered his mouth. "Don’t be such a pervert."Zachary held her hand. "The banquet tomorrow has to do with the purpose of your trip. Are you really not going?""How do you know what I came here for?"Zachary didn’t answer, just looked at he

Annie saw the red marks on his neck as he moved.There was also a bite mark on his Adam's apple.Both marks told her of the wildness he had shared with Jane just moments ago.The thing she feared most had happened."And not even a day apart," Zachary said again, his voice was cold enough to send shivers down one’s spine.Annie met his sharp gaze, instinctively taking a step back.But then she felt it was wrong and moved forward to stand in front of him."What are you saying? I don’t understand," she said, reaching out to grab his arm.Zachary turned sideways to avoid her, and Ross immediately restrained Annie, kicking her in the knee and forcing her to kneel on the ground."Zachary!"Annie had never been so humiliated before.Since childhood, everyone had always revolved around her.She was given everything she wanted.Without speaking, people would rush to her, handing her things that were close to her heart.Zachary was no different, he had been delivered to her by her

"I had wanted to repay you before, but you refused. Turns out, you were saving it for such a situation. Zachary, is it fun to fool me around?"Zachary lifted his head, and his dark eyes were filled with deep desire.He had been restraining himself, and the veins on his arm were bulging.But this time, he wanted to ask her for a favor."Am I really so unworthy in your eyes?"It wasn’t that he was completely unacceptable, but after all, he had previously forced her against her will."You can’t have lost contact with your subordinates.""Nelana isn’t my turf. There are people here who don’t want me here."As for his business matters, Jane didn’t want to know or analyze anything.She simply said, "Anyway, I’m not suited to help you solve the current problem. If you want, you can get some cold water, and I’ll go buy some medicine for you."The corners of Zachary’s eyes drooped slightly, and he looked almost pitiful."Is it really that hard to help me?"Jane nodded. "I think we’r

Before Jane finished speaking, she watched as Zachary slowly stood up on his own.But then he suddenly leaned towards her.She quickly held him up.Zachary rested his head on her shoulder, his breath hot and heavy against her neck, so hot it felt alarming."Wait, weren't the people around you supposed to be sticking with you at all times? How did you end up like this, all alone?"She heard the man's voice, weak and faint."Take me back to the hotel..."Jane was really at her wit's end.He didn't even tell her the name of the hotel. How was she supposed to know where to take him?In the end, with no other choice, she reached into his pocket to find his phone.She searched both side pockets of his pants, but there was no phone.He was only wearing a white shirt, no coat.That meant his phone wasn't on him.No wonder he hadn't contacted his subordinates.But that didn't make sense either—his subordinates were supposed to be with him at all times.Before she could figure it

"People are really into these things now. I often see them on live streams," said Jane.Dominic poured her a cup of barley tea. "The houses people want aren’t just any ordinary houses."Jane knew buying a house wasn't easy. It had taken her some time to secure her little place.If it weren't for Charlotte helping her out, she probably wouldn't have gotten it so quickly."Don’t worry. If I like what I see this time, when I go back and combine it with our brand, we'll promote it. You’ll be able to make money and buy a house.""That sounds good. I know how influential your brand is."The two of them chatted happily in the private room.In the room next door, however, the atmosphere was cold and tense.Annie, seemingly unaware, picked up some food for Zachary and even peeled an apple for him."I grew up in Nelana. I have lung issues, so I’m not really suited to Jeswood’s weather.""This restaurant has been around for almost 100 years. It’s a Nelana specialty. Try this, the apples

At the hospital.After confirming that everything was fine, Zachary immediately went to the airport.Frank glanced at the time. "Leaving overnight?"Zachary nodded, a look of exhaustion between his brows.Frank took Charlotte and left the hospital with him, only to see two cars.He asked, "Is Annie going with you?"Zachary nodded again.Frank was confused. "What kind of game is this?""Let's go."Zachary didn't answer, opened the car door, and bent down to sit inside.After the two cars drove off, Charlotte asked, "Last night, did you interfere too much?"Frank touched his chin. "I shouldn't have...""Shouldn't have what?""Can't I tell who he likes?"The two of them went home to pack and then went to their respective companies.Charlotte noticed that Jane's dark circles under her eyes couldn't even be covered by foundation. She asked, "Did you go clubbing last night?"Jane shook her head. "I couldn't sleep, maybe the jet lag still hasn't passed."Charlotte immediately
