Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 618
Before, he thought Jack was being overly emotional and revealed himself for Charlotte. Who would have thought Jack had a backup plan? His scheming was on par with Frank's. But they couldn't let their guard down with Frank. Charlotte had already been taken away, yet he still had that arrogant attitude—it was a bit abnormal.Kevin suggested, "Why don't you have Jack film a short video and send it to Frank?" Senno understood and called Jack.Jack thought Charlotte would at least eat something for the sake of the baby. But to his surprise, she really wasn't eating. He waited for a long time, reheating the food repeatedly, even cooking it fresh, yet he never heard her ask for anything. As midnight approached, he saw from the surveillance that she hadn't even had a sip of water, despite having vomited earlier. Her little face was completely pale, as if she might pass out at any moment.In the end, he couldn't bear to see her suffer anymore. Just as he picked up the food, his phone rang.
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 619
Upon hearing this, excitement shone in Jack's eyes. I knew I had placed my bet correctly. "We're going to record a video to show Frank, telling him he can't compare to you, and I should be with you." Jack looked at me with a crazed expression. I tried to take the phone from his hand, but suddenly, he raised his hand, and the phone slipped from my fingertips. I calmly said, "I just wanted to press the start recording button." Jack stared at me without saying a word. I turned away, feigning anger. "You wanted to film this, it's up to you whether you want to or not." For all these years, Jack had disguised himself, lurking in the shadows with ulterior motives. Now, I finally showed him the kind of temper I had toward Frank, and he certainly wouldn't take advantage of it. But despite that, my heart was still racing, especially as his silence stretched on. I felt like my heart might leap out of my throat. Just as I was thinking about whether to stoke the

Before he could think it through, he heard Charlotte speaking to the camera. "Frank, you see this? Don't look for me anymore..." Was Charlotte possessed? Alan, trembling, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "Should we show this to Frank?" Zachary asked, "Is it from Jack?" "No." Alan shook his head. "It's from Kevin. It seems Senno wants to threaten Frank into joining them." Zachary pondered, "Doesn't this confirm the deep connection between Jack and Senno?" Alan replied, "Given the current situation, there's no need to hide anything." Zachary couldn't understand why Charlotte would do this. He rewound the video and prepared to watch it again, but unexpectedly, the phone was suddenly snatched away. Zachary turned to see Frank and exchanged a glance with Alan. It was as if he was asking, “Why didn't you warn me?”Frank walked silently, he had just seen it. Frank pressed play, and Zachary couldn't stop him in time. In an instant, the man's face

Frank ignored him. Zachary knew he was in a bad mood. Even if Charlotte was trying to deliver a message for him, that intimate gesture still happened. "You need to prepare for the news about Grandma’s passing, she definitely won't handle it well." Frank stared into the endless darkness ahead, as if even his brown eyes were being swallowed by the night, deep and heavy. He had initially thought that in such circumstances, the child might not survive. At that point, it would be easier to talk about it. Now that he had seen the video, he confirmed that the child was still there, otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen this method to convey the message. At that moment, even Frank felt somewhat powerless. I still ate the food that Jack had given me. I could starve, but I couldn’t let the child starve. I could only gamble that Jack wouldn’t hurt me. "The water isn't poisoned either." Seeing me choke, Jack forced me to swallow and poured me a cup of water.

If they found out they were tricked just because Frank wanted to save someone, wouldn't that offend two major families? They might not even be able to leave this sea area. Who knows, they might end up feeding the sharks. Frank's brows furrowed. "Do as I say." "Yes." Seeing him insist, Alan immediately obeyed the order. "Frank." After Alan left, Zachary spoke up, "Alan makes a valid point. Things will get complicated once they’re involved. How can you guarantee that we can help the Jebwi family eliminate the Valin family? What if we fail?" Frank's lips curved slightly, even though the illness hadn't completely faded from his face, it couldn't hide his inherent wildness. "You go and find a way to send a message to Officer Locke." Zachary instantly understood, chuckling. "You really are a son of a bitch!" After I ate my fill, I began to feel drowsy. Especially when the wind died down and the boat moved steadily, I could hardly keep my eyes open. I le

"Was it you who changed my clothes?"When I woke up on the boat, I was wearing a set of beige cotton pajamas.At that moment, I was too shocked to see Jack, and then I was in a constant state of panic, desperately thinking of ways to escape.All sorts of emotions made me forget about this matter.Jack's gaze lightly swept over me, and I couldn't tell what flickered in his eyes, but he actually said "Yes."I suddenly tensed up, a wave of disgust surging uncontrollably.I didn't understand how someone I once trusted the most, someone who knew how to navigate relationships, had turned into this.Even though it was under unconscious circumstances, just thinking about it made me feel as if ants were crawling all over me.That kind of physical discomfort was impossible to control."I just changed your clothes, why do you look so lifeless?" Jack pulled me to the deck.The cold sea breeze blew toward me, howling, but I still couldn't catch my breath.I didn't want to talk to Jack.

The one speaking was the head of the Jebwi family, Kanby. Although Frank was on someone else's turf, he seemed completely at ease, as if he were in his own home.He sat down across from Kanby.However, he remained cautious, not touching anything on the table."Senno wants to recruit me, but I'm unwilling. He took my lover away. Mr. Kanby, don't you think I should take revenge for this?" Kanby's wife was someone he had worked hard to win, but because of a conflict with Senno, she was gone forever.He hadn't remarried over the years, occasionally seeking revenge on Senno when the opportunity arose.But truly eliminating Senno was no easy task.So when someone sent him a message, regardless of its authenticity, he wanted to meet this person.Now that he knew this young man in front of him was here for his wife, he felt there was a chance to fight back."What do you need me to do?" Frank smirked. "You’re a smart guy, Mr. Kanby. Communicating with you is indeed easy and straig

"You'll do anything for this child, won't you?" Jack's smile made my skin crawl. "In that case, keeping it isn't such a bad idea."I followed Jack from the cabin to the deck.As we were getting off the boat, he insisted on holding my hand, and I couldn't break free."Jack."I turned to see a man in a purple suit walking over.He was very pale, but his lips were red.With his yellow curls and blue eyes, he really looked like a male fairy."Senno."Jack introduced me."So this is the woman you risked everything to bring back?" Senno scrutinized me and said, "You seem nice-looking, but besides that, there's really nothing special about you. Why is he so infatuated with you?"‘Infatuated?’I felt a wave of dizziness, unsure if it was from seasickness or pregnancy.Silence hung heavily over the scene.Seeing that I wasn't saying anything, Senno didn't continue talking to me.He turned to Jack, saying, "I've arranged a place for her to rest. I need to discuss something with y

Jordan and Whitney chatted casually.Most of the time, it was Jordan doing the talking while Whitney listened.After covering enough about the wedding, they talked about Jordan's work over the past few years.She also mentioned the tangled feelings and past with Westley.When she got to that part, she grew a little curious. "Whitney, before you married Caleb, did you ever like anyone?"Whitney shook her head."What about a secret crush?""Not even that."Whitney rarely talked to others about her past.Zachary only knew because he had looked into her and thought she was perfectly suited to be a pawn.And she had needed to become that pawn—to completely sever ties with her past, achieve her goals, and fulfill her ambitions."I was too busy studying and working to think about anything else."Jordan sensed she didn't want to go further, so she didn't press.Just then, Jane called, saying she and Charlotte would arrive soon and join them for lunch.She relayed the message to W
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 1429
"We had a meal together before, and I noticed you always seemed to like sweet dishes, so I tried buying some. I was worried it might not suit your taste.""It does, it does." Jordan took a bite of the pudding. "It's delicious. But did you buy anything you like to eat?"Whitney said, "I already had breakfast. I can't eat anymore."Jordan offered a suggestion, "Why not try a bite of this sponge cake? It's a specialty here in Nelana."Whitney really couldn't eat any more. She had a small appetite, a condition built up over the years.If she ate a full meal, she couldn't eat snacks afterward. And if she ate snacks, she would lose her appetite for meals.She had a small stomach.But seeing Jordan looking at her so expectantly, she still picked up a piece of sponge cake and took a bite."It's very good."Jordan smiled and took a big bite of the sponge cake herself."Whitney, you're so good at picking food! This is great!"The old house was a bit remote, but it had a rooftop terrac

Jordan said Whitney would be coming over later.Westley hadn't expected that the first one to get out of bed would actually be Whitney."Just the two of you?" he asked."For now, yes."Jordan glanced at her phone. In the group chat, it was just her and Whitney talking—no response yet from Jane or Charlotte.She more or less knew why Jane hadn't responded, but Charlotte too?Still, it didn't really matter. There weren't any specific plans for today anyway.She hadn't known Whitney was coming, so it was a nice surprise."Maybe my sister will text me around noon. We can decide what to do then.""You." She pointed at Westley. "You are not allowed to show up in front of me again after breakfast."Westley nodded. "Got it."After buying food, Whitney told Caleb, "I'm going to find Jordan. You can go handle your stuff. I'll be staying at her place until the wedding."Caleb leaned against the elevator wall, his voice low and lazy. "You're telling me what to do?"Whitney wasn't in a

She replied with an emoji, then looked for her girls in the group chat to ask them out for food.Their group chat had a new member now—Whitney.And it was Whitney who replied to her."I'm already eating at the hotel. Do you want to come over, or should I bring something to you later?"Whitney had actually had a good night's sleep.Though it was a bit later than her usual habit, she still managed to get up for breakfast.Before, it was always Caleb who brought breakfast to the bedside and fed her, because she simply couldn't get out of bed.Jordan figured she was probably having breakfast with Caleb and decided not to bother her."No need, I'll just eat something nearby. Your hotel isn't close to me."Whitney replied. "I'm heading over later anyway, but I'll probably be a bit late. If you're hungry, go ahead and eat something first. I'll bring you something else."Jordan. "Thanks."Whitney. "No problem."Caleb noticed her holding her phone, her expression much softer, even t

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
