Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 594
That night, kidnapping Grandma was highly risky. Kevin originally planned to poison Ben overnight, take the Shaw family's assets, and then leave that night with Simone and Bethany. With Luke's help in buying time, their escape could have gone smoothly. However, upon learning that Grandma had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, Kevin felt it was an act of god. So, he let his guard down. But this lapse gave Frank an opportunity.Kevin steeled himself and said coldly, "I don't have a wife or children."They were in a neighboring city the ship would soon reach the border. Frank's influence was limited to Jeswood.Kevin waved his hand and ordered, "Set sail."The ship began to leave."Frank…"Frank's subordinates were anxious!If the ship left Jeswood, finding them again would be difficult.But Frank remained impassive and made no move. He was too late, Kevin was already on the ship. Taking the ship by force now would only cause more harm than good. It wasn't necessary.Since Kevin

I smiled. "We still don't know the gender yet.""This is my hopeful wish. Of course, I would also cherish a godson," said Jane."Alright, go to sleep." She covered me with the blanket.I had been so tired, staying awake just to accompany Grandma. I fell asleep almost as soon as I closed my eyes. I had a dreamless night and slept very well.The next morning, I woke up hungry and vaguely smelled something delicious."Does it smell good?"Focusing my eyes, I saw Jane waving a tuna sandwich in front of me.I chuckled helplessly. "You're so childish."Jane took it as a compliment. "I am childish."She set up a small table and arranged the breakfast neatly."Where's Grandma?"I got up to check on Grandma and wash up, but the bed was empty."Grandma got up early. She didn't wake you because you were sleeping so soundly. After breakfast, she went to see Ben."I nodded and went to the bathroom.Jane followed, saying, "I wonder if Ben will be a good son after he wakes up this time.

Prof. Kilburn nodded. "Something like that."Immediately, my heart sank."Charlotte." I suddenly heard my mother's voice. I turned and saw her walking towards me, giving me a warm hug. "I missed you so much.""Mom!" I sighed in relief, feeling somewhat steadied. But before I could explain the situation to her, the door behind us suddenly opened.And then, I watched in disbelief as Ben grabbed my mother in a hug.He was grinning foolishly and called out, "Honey!"Me, Jane, and my mom were all gobsmacked.There was a brief silence, and then my mom let out a scream that nearly brought the whole hospital down.Fortunately, Ben was weak, and she managed to pull away with little effort."What the hell is going on?"My mom shuddered, continuously brushing herself off as if she had touched something filthy.Ben looked at Grandma with a hurt expression. "Mom, why?"My mom was at a lost for words.Grandma obviously hadn't fully accepted the situation either, but she knew what she wa

After I finished speaking, I realized something. "Did you already know about this?"Frank nodded.I couldn't help but mutter, "Then why were you pretending you didn’t?""How was I supposed to know you were calling to tell me this? I thought you just missed me," said Frank.I snorted but said, "I did miss you. Frank, it's just better when you're here."I bit my lip. "When will you be back?""Soon, just a day or two." Frank reassured me. "You don't need to worry about Ben. Grandma will definitely make sure he doesn't trouble you.""But what if Grandma wants to take him back to the Shaw family?""Then let her do that," Frank answered firmly. "That's beyond your control. Given Ben's condition, Grandma will be worried if she doesn’t take him back home.""But Grandma doesn't want to see you upset or add to your troubles. In the end, she'll choose to return to the Shaw family and take care of Ben herself."I pursed my lips. "Do you think there are any better neurologists?""You can

Jane accompanied me as we took Grandma and Ben back to the Shaw family's old residence.Ben was in a daze and was very clingy to Grandma. He would occasionally glance at me and smile foolishly but didn't say anything. He would call me "Sweetie" from time to time, and when he saw my mom, he called her "honey." My mom managed to suppress her urge to roll her eyes thanks to years of practiced composure.He also didn't ask for Simone or Bethany, and he never mentioned their names."Madam Shaw, you're back."As we brought Grandma into the old residence, someone came to greet us. She appeared to be a bit younger than Grandma but was clearly from the same generation. Taking care of Grandma would be no problem, but Ben was another matter...I suggested, "Grandma, let me find someone else to help you out, to share the burden."The Shaw family's residence used to have many servants, each with their own duties. Now, due to whatever trouble Simone caused, not a single servant could be seen

Across the ocean.Alan received a phone call and hurried to report to Frank. Frank was about to pick up his phone and dial my number when he saw Alan and frowned slightly."You'd better have something very important.""It's very important." Alan was sweating. "The place where Jack was kept has exploded."Frank cocked his brows. "Exploded?"Alan didn't was very nervous and said honestly, "The explosion was quite big, turning the area into ruins and has affected the surroundings. I need to go back and handle the relevant matters."Frank leaned back in his chair, and something flickered in his brown eyes. He tapped his fingers on the table twice."Even if it's in ruins, you still need to confirm whether he's really dead.""Yes."Alan hurriedly turned to leave, but just as he reached the door, he heard Frank's typically casual yet chilling voice from behind."Find out the details, and then you know what to do."Alan didn't dare to argue. He had previously assured Frank that ther

Jane was enjoying herself on the dance floor. Feeling her bracelet vibrate, she was about to check who was calling when she was suddenly pulled out of the dance area by an unseen force. She stumbled her way into a private room and managed to steady herself.Looking up, she saw a familiar yet cold face.Before she could say anything, her bracelet vibrated again. Seeing that it was Charlotte calling, she immediately answered, "Why are you calling me repeatedly? Is something wrong?""Can you get in touch with Zachary? I can't reach Frank."“Oh, what a coincidence...” Zachary was right in front of her. Jane raised her hand. "Did you hear that, Mr. Collins?"At the sound of her voice, Zachary took out his phone and made a call.Jane then thought of something and asked, "Have you made contact with Alan?""No."Hearing this response, Jane felt a bit more alert. Alan's phone was supposed to be on 24/7. She had always thought he was like a droid, a never-stopping one. Now, there was act

There was a moment of silence. I was even more certain of my guess, sniffing as I said, "If you keep hiding this from me, I'm going to worry." Frank felt a headache. If he talked about it, she would worry. If he didn't, she would worry even more. Thinking of this, he imagined his cold gaze, like a knife, piercing through the clumsy Alan on the other end. Alan also felt wronged, but there was nothing he could do. After bandaging his wound, he silently stepped back to stand aside. Frank glanced at the wound on his abdomen, pinched the bridge of his nose, and said, "The negotiations didn't go very smoothly, but you don't need to worry. I'm fine." I kept waiting for him to say something. In that minute-long silence, I was sure something had happened to him. And now, I couldn't fly over there to check on him. Otherwise, he'd be distracted worrying about me. "Can you just be honest with me? Otherwise, how can I not worry?" Frank let out a light laugh and s

Caleb was thinking that in the future, he could let her drink a little more.Of course, only when he was around.She looked kind of cute like this."I did say that, but didn't you just say you wanted to thank me?"Whitney felt that alcohol really wasn't a good thing.Even when hanging out with Jane and the others, she decided not to drink too much anymore.The rationality and logic that she was so proud of had completely vanished.She had never been as calm in front of Caleb as she was with others.Besides, there was a power imbalance between her and him.If she were sober, she wouldn't have been able to reject him anyway.Let alone now, when her mind was muddled.But maybe because she was muddled, she dared to say things that she didn’t usually dare to say."I just lost my balance earlier, and you helped me. Even if you don't accept verbal gratitude, that doesn't mean I owe you something this big."Caleb saw she could barely stand, so he held her by the waist to keep her

"But your reaction just now didn’t seem like you knew I was here."Jane tried to pull her leg back, but when she couldn't, she slapped him in frustration."It was called acting, understand? I didn't want you to look embarrassed, so I got those two out of the way first."Zachary rubbed her ankle with his thumb, as if he believed her. "Then should I be thanking you—for being so considerate?"Jane couldn't be bothered to argue. "Let go. I want to drink.""I'll drink with you."Meanwhile, Frank held Charlotte close and asked in a low voice, "Did she really know we were here?"Charlotte nodded. "What do you think? You really think Jane would mess around during her marriage? She might be bold, but she has boundaries. But you guys really are annoying."Frank hooked her chin with his thumb. "I knew it. You're being cold to me because you're sick of me. I've said it so many times, and you still wouldn't admit it."After saying that, he picked her up and walked out of the bar.He hadn'

Charlotte nudged him with her elbow, warning him not to stir things up.Jordan truly didn't dare to stay any longer. "Westley, take me home.""Okay." Westley finally got up. "You all take your time. If it gets too late, don't go back to the old house—just find a place to crash.""But..." Jordan suddenly felt like leaving wasn't such a good idea. "Maybe I'll stay and play a bit more."Westley simply dragged her out."Jane and Zachary...""You can't control what they do, so why bother worrying over nothing?"Jordan was settled into the passenger seat, her seatbelt fastened firmly.She didn't resist, mostly because she felt what Westley said made sense.Jane was way more capable than she was. This kind of minor drama would be easy for her to handle.Plus, with the smart and composed Charlotte around—It was better if she didn't add to the chaos.Once Westley got into the driver's seat, she asked, "Why did you guys show up? Especially you—didn't you say no seeing each other a w

But it was just a polite gesture—if they had been singing inside, they wouldn't have heard her anyway.So after knocking, she pushed the door open and went in.Charlotte and the others followed to take a look.When they saw the scene inside, they gasped.The four men from home were sitting around a cards table, all eyes on the door, each with a different expression.Zachary looked at Jane, who entered first, and said with a smile, "Honey, pick someone you like and give him a kiss."Jane took a step back and bumped into Charlotte's arms.That was when she noticed the big screen beside them—it was showing their own private room."You were watching us?"Zachary tapped the cards on the table with his long fingers, still smiling."If we weren't watching, how would we get to enjoy such an entertaining scene?"They had all been drinking.Whitney didn't hold her liquor well. She was already a little dazed. Although the room was fairly bright, everything seemed a little off to her.

Caleb didn't respond. Instead, he looked at Westley and played a card.Westley won.And it was a big pot as well.He cocked his brows. "Is this your wedding gift to me, Caleb?"Caleb asked, "Your wedding—Dr. Greyson won't be absent, will he? I heard you two are very close. You've been at death's door multiple times, and he's the one who saved you."Westley nodded. "Theoretically, yes. But I'm not sure if he might have some emergency.""Besides, it's not like you, Caleb, can't reach him. You helped him last time. It's impossible he'd ignore you now."Caleb could contact Carter, but if he did, it would mean helping Carter meet Mandy.He had no interest in meddling in romantic matters—too troublesome.But he couldn't get in touch with Tanner at all.Technically, there was no real need for him to attend Westley's wedding.Even if Whitney was invited by Jane, he himself wasn't obligated.He simply wanted to go, hoping to "accidentally" run into Carter.That way, it wouldn't loo

Frank pulled her into his arms and asked, "You really have to go out for drinks?"Charlotte nodded. "It's a girls-only night. No men allowed.""Oh?" The man repeated slowly and deliberately, "No… men… allowed?"Charlotte saw the look on his face and knew exactly what he was thinking."Only women. Even the drinks are for women.""Oh? Tell me, how do you tell if a drink is male or female?"Charlotte lightly patted his face twice. "The drinks women drink are for women. Got it?"Frank laughed. "Got it."Over on Jane's end, after finishing her call, she was about to go look for Jordan, but Zachary pulled her into the room and pinned her against the wall.His warm lips covered hers, then quickly pulled away.With his forehead against hers, the man asked, "Going out for drinks?"Jane hooked his chin with her finger. "What, Mr. Collins, trying to seduce your way into a drinking invitation?"Zachary chuckled lowly, kissed her again, and asked, "May I?""No."Jane rejected him comp

Jordan had grown up in the Howard family, but the person who had taken care of her since she was little had an old house.She arranged for Jane and the others to stay there, and she would also be getting married from that house.She didn't have many friends. Originally, Leanne was supposed to be her bridesmaid. Although she had a child, she had never been married.But Leanne wasn't sure if she could make it back in time, so she let Jane and Charlotte take over as substitutes for now. They would adjust accordingly later."Try on the dress. If there's a problem, I can still make adjustments."With the help of the two of them, Jordan put on the wedding dress.But Jane was most looking forward to the wedding dress.Both her and Charlotte's weddings were going to be Cherian style.Jordan, however, wanted a Western-style one.And Charlotte, who had designed clothes for many years, had never actually designed a wedding dress before.This was her first attempt, and she was very excit

"Okay, I won't bring it up anymore."Westley walked over with Jonathan and sat down.Miranda was very satisfied. "Finally, Jordy can have dinner with me again."Jordan smiled. "I'm also happy. I can still call you Mom.""Then let's drink to that.""Okay."Westley waited for the "mother and daughter" to finish speaking, then threw out a big announcement. "By the way, our wedding is on the 22nd of next month."Clang!The spoon in Miranda's hand fell."What did you say?""On the 22nd of next month, Jordy and I are getting married. We sincerely invite you and your husband to attend."Jordan was also shocked.She only knew that Charlotte's dress was being made, and they were picking the wedding date.But Westley hadn't told her about this in advance."Next month, it's almost the New Year.""Yes, it's a wedding before the New Year. Then we'll celebrate the New Year at home. I'm informing you in advance, my dear mom. You can prepare for the the New Year Eve dinner.""The New Y

Jonathan almost spit out the tea he was drinking."You have principles now?""Not the right time to talk nonsense."Westley. "Do you always talk in a way that pokes others' pain points?"Jonathan smiled for a moment. "If you've done it, don't be afraid of people talking about it."Westley didn't want to continue the conversation and stood up to leave.He went to the kitchen to find Jordan and found her eating ravioli."Didn't you say you'd help?" Westley sat next to her. "How come you're eating secretly? Give me a bite?"Jordan guarded the food. "It’s in the kitchen. There's still plenty in the pot.""But I want to eat from your bowl.""But I don't want to give you any."Westley laughed. "Okay."But while Jordan took a bite of the ravioli, he kissed her.Jordan's eyes widened as she felt the ravioli in her mouth being stolen away."You're disgusting."Westley smiled. "Sweet."Jordan couldn't eat anymore and pushed the remaining ravioli to him. "I'm not eating anymore."
