Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 400
Prof. Kilburn gave a clear deadline.I expressed my gratitude. "Prof. Kilburn, sorry for all this trouble. Thank you so much!""No need to thank me."Prof. Kilburn gestured towards Ryan. "Thank him. This guy has been pestering me for almost two months. I hadn't planned to return to Cheria recently, but it was my wife who was soft-hearted and persuaded me to come back and take a look."I looked at Ryan in surprise.Two months.This meant that before I returned to Jelaston, when he might have thought I was dead, he had not given up on Grandma's condition.I pursed my lips. "Ryan, I really need to thank you this time.""If you really want to thank me, how about treating me to a meal?""Huh?" I was taken aback. I hadn't expected him to make such a request.Then, I looked at Prof. Kilburn and smiled. "Sure, I'll treat you and Prof. Kilburn to a meal and let you try the local dishes of Jelaston."Two years ago, Frank had taken me to a private restaurant with excellent food.Howev

Upon hearing this, Ryan seemed somewhat stunned and disheartened.After a moment, he looked at me in surprise. “You’re no even going to lie?”“You rarely lied in the past as well,” I smiled and answered calmly. I had heard too much before. He had never been one to deign to deceive.“She ran away from home. I need to go find her.”“She’s divorced. I’m afraid she might do something rash.”“She got into a car accident. I can’t be at ease if I don’t check on her.”Later on, he didn’t even need to give a reason—he would just say, “I need to see her.”It was always, his sister. He couldn’t ignore her.It seemed that as long as there was that one layer of relationship, any little bit of my complaints would be seen as petty, and obstructing him would be almost like committing a crime.It was quite ironic. It seemed to match the saying of “What goes around comes around.”Ryan probably never imagined that such a day would come. He loosened his grip on his cutlery, which clattered ont

“I do.”When it came to serious matters, he was quite earnest, his voice steady, “She said back then that only Bethany and her daughter were behind her actions. Since we couldn’t find out about anyone else, and it wasn’t good to keep her detained, we let her go. What’s up?”“I saw her yesterday.”I didn’t stop what I was doing as I looked up at Frank. “Last year, didn’t Yasmin suddenly announce that she had a daughter? Can you guess who this daughter is?”“It was her?”“Yes, she’s now called Christine.”I felt a bit puzzled.Frank squinted his eyes. “I’ll have someone look into it.”He was never one to drag things out. He immediately made a phone call. The other side acted quickly too.I had just finished massaging his legs when the phone call came back.Frank answered, “Go on.”“Frank, there are no clues about this. It’s just that Yasmin suddenly announced she had a daughter, Christine. The specifics are unclear, probably because someone erased the traces.”“Think of som

The situation became somewhat awkward.Alana hadn't caught on yet. "Have I? How come I don’t remember?"I replied, "Oh? You don't?""I…"Alana cleared her throat, glancing at Frank, her mouth twitching. "Have I?"Frank nodded firmly. "You have.""I have?" asked Alana."Yes.""Right, I have."Alana suddenly realized, smiling at me. "I'm really sorry, I must have a terrible memory. Yes, I did add you on WhatsApp…"She turned to look at Frank. "When did I add her on WhatsApp again?"Frank cocked his brows. "During dinner. Did you forget?""Oh, right." Alana smacked her forehead. "Yes, yes, I even asked Frank for your WhatsApp at the time. I meant to tell you about his leg pain!"Then she asked Frank uncertainly, "Is that right?"Frank gave her an exasperated look.Alana smiled and said meaningfully, "That was my second account, I don't use it much. Let's add each other again?""Sure."We exchanged smiles.After adding WhatsApp, I left Frank's house and headed to the care
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 404
When I returned to the care home, Grandma was already asleep. I adjusted the corner of her blanket and gave a few instructions to the caregiver before driving away. I went straight to the hotel to check in.The next morning, after tidying up, I was preparing to go back to the care home to see Grandma when I received a call from Prof. Kilburn's assistant. I answered the call while walking out of the room.On the other end, the assistant sounded a bit frustrated, "Ms. Wilson, didn't you inform your family that the professor would be taking over Madam Shaw's treatment today?""Huh?" I was momentarily stunned. "Is something wrong?"The assistant replied helplessly, "As soon as we arrived this morning, your family showed up and said they would not accept the professor taking responsibility for Madam Shaw's treatment.""My family?" I was slightly puzzled but then realized something. "Is it the Shaw family?""Yes, it seems to be Madam Shaw's daughter-in-law and granddaughter."My exp

The little child looked to be about three or four years old, dressed in trendy clothes, and had an exquisitely carved face. He looked up at me, cuteness radiating from him.But he called me “Aunt”...I couldn't just accept that.I was a bit confused and patted his small head. "Aunt?""Yes! Aunt, my name is Daniel Jackson. You can call me Danny!"The little one was incredibly adorable, introducing himself with a soft, innocent voice and an endearing demeanor.I couldn't help but chuckle and crouch down to speak gently, "Alright, Danny, but…"I paused slightly and looked at Frank. "Danny is your nephew?""Alana's son."Frank lazily lifted his eyes and said nonchalantly, "She's on a flight to Europe tonight. Danny has school, so I'm taking care of him for a while.""Huh?" I glanced at his legs and couldn't help but question, "Are you sure… you can handle a child?"Danny hugged my neck and gave my face several slobbery kisses, saying sweetly, "Aunt, Aunt, you can take care of me
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 406
Once again, Frank and I were both awkwardly caught off guard. I tugged at Grandma's arm. "Grandma, about that…""Soon."Frank abruptly interrupted me, speaking to Grandma in a gentle and polite tone, "Grandma, I'll marry her soon. You focus on taking care of yourself. Once you've recovered, we can hold the wedding."I was dumbfounded.The person making this statement didn't even glance at me, as if the matter was completely unrelated to me.Grandma was thrilled, her eyes shining with delight. "Really?""Really," Frank answered with a smile.I changed the subject. "Grandma, let's have breakfast quickly. Prof. Kilburn will be here soon."Judging by the time, Prof. Kilburn was probably finishing his breakfast too. After Bethany and her mother left, I had sent a message to Prof. Kilburn's assistant, informing them that the matter was resolved.I wasn't wrong about the timing. Grandma had just finished breakfast when Prof. Kilburn and his team returned.Since Prof. Kilburn was

Alana, unable to resist, said, "You've probably had a tough time these past two years too, haven't you?"I was taken aback. "How did you know?""I guessed." She smiled helplessly, appearing like a thoughtful older sister. "Although we haven't interacted much, I can tell you're not the kind of woman who plays both sides.""Giving up on him back then must have been unavoidable, right?" It was a question, but her tone was certain.I wasn't surprised that she could guess this.Alana was the type who, despite seeming carefree, was actually very perceptive and attentive to details. In short, the Smith family seemed to be quite perceptive people.I had no reason to lie to her, so I nodded and admitted, "Yes, Frank's father came to find me. And then, Ryan… also promised that if I went back with him, he would help Frank.""You've had a hard time."Alana sounded a bit rueful, "It's a pity that Luke used such dirty tactics, almost causing Frank to suffer a setback. Actually, he did suff

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
