Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 625
"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

"Stop thinking about it." Jack leaned closer to me, saying, "Even if he can get onto this island, he can't take you away.""I won't let you two meet."After saying this, he turned to Senno. "You know what to say. With or without the person in front of you.""Forget your arrangements, I have my own place to stay. You don't need to worry about food, I'll take care of that. In a couple of days, I'll be leaving with my people."Senno didn't reveal what he was really planning, he simply said, "Do as you wish."A weight settled in my heart.There wouldn't even be a chance to buy some time.Frank reached the shore, glancing around to assess the number of people."Frank."Senno hurried over, arms open for an embrace.Frank sidestepped and asked bluntly, "Where's my lover?"Senno's eyes seemed to almost bore into Frank.Suppressing his anger, Frank asked again.Senno replied, "Don't worry. She's fine. I've prepared some food, let's eat first."Something flickered in Frank's eyes
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 627
After Jack left the cabin, I looked around the place. I found nothing. When I opened the door to go outside, I was surprised to see someone guarding it. I suppressed my frustration and asked, "Are you from Senno's side or Jack's?" No one answered me. But if I dared to take a step forward, they would immediately block me.On the other side, Frank's face was as dark as water, he had no interest in picking up his cutlery. No matter how much food Senno filled his plate with, Frank's patience was already thin, and his concern for Charlotte made it even scarcer. However, he had to buy some time to ease Senno's vigilance."I'm not hungry." Frank stood up and walked outside, glancing towards the shore before heading into the forest. Senno didn't stop him and followed along. But he was blocked at the entrance.Frank had a gut feeling that Charlotte was nearby. "Don't think that just because I'm on this island, you can control me. I can't join the Valin family without seeing my wife."Senn

They thought it was Frank's unbearable temperament that had angered Senno. They even imagined how satisfying it would be to see Frank dead. Once that happened, they could take the Shaw family's assets from Charlotte and then eliminate her. It would be a double celebration.But what they saw was Frank pointing a gun at Senno. It was completely the other way around. The atmosphere by the shore was tense. Only Frank, the cause of the situation, stood relaxed with one hand in his pocket. Yet beneath that calm exterior, he was on high alert, especially not having seen Charlotte."I'll ask you one more time, where is she?"Senno raised his hand, signaling everyone to lower their guns. Frank was difficult to conquer, which only made people want to conquer him more."I'll take you to her."Senno returned to his usual self, smiling as he led Frank into the forest, not caring about the gun in his hand. After all, Frank wouldn't casually kill him without first finding that woman.What Senno

He signaled me not to struggle. To trust him. He looked at me, softly saying, "I'm here, don't be afraid, okay?" I wasn't really afraid, but I had never wanted to hug him so much before. "Frank, you've seen the woman, can you come with me now?" Senno's smile faded significantly. This woman made Frank so gentle, he definitely couldn't let her stay alive. Jack was just right to take her away. Their goals would both be achieved. "Jack's mercenaries are different from me, they only care about money. If the money is right, they'll do anything." But just as Senno finished speaking, his trusted aide rushed in. "Boss, bad news! Kanby's people are coming!" "Kanby?" Senno looked at Frank, completely losing his smile. "I treated you sincerely, and you repay me like this?" "Go, tie him up for me." "Jack, take your people and get this woman far away." Jack didn't want to waste time here either. Frank could escape unscathed from Senno now that he had teamed

Taking advantage of Jack loosening his grip, I slipped out of his arms. I was dumbfounded when I saw him arm hanging down and the gun on the ground.I took two steps back, but didn't feel any sense of relief. "Charlotte." Frank strode forward and pulled me tightly into his arms. I finally regained came back to my senses a little. "Frank..." All the anxiety and tension of the day, all the bad emotions, vanished in that moment. I felt an immense sense of security. It was something no one else could give me. Jane had wanted to step forward, but seeing us so tightly embraced, she just waited to the side. At that moment, a group of people suddenly arrived. The leader was still in uniform, shouting to everyone, "Don't move!" Senno had come to this island with only a small number of people, believing no one could enter his territory. But today, Frank brought Kanby. Kanby was well-prepared and Senno was completely defeated. "Frank..." As he closed h

My head buzzed, and I watched as Jack fell straight in front of me. He coughed up blood but still smiled at me. Frank, who was tripped by Kevin, was a step slower than Jack. He saw Jack blocking the shot for me and froze for a moment before quickly coming over, covering my eyes with his hand. "Charlotte, don't look..."I instinctively shook my head and dazedly ran over. "Jack..."All the kindness Jack had shown me in the past surged back in an instant. Tears streamed down my face as I reached out to cover the gunshot wound that was gushing blood. I had no idea what to say.Alan helped Officer Locke capture Kanby, quickly controlling Kevin and Simone. With Frank's assistance, Officer Locke helped him deal with Kevin and Simone. Alan thanked them and sent them away.Jane came to me, holding my hand. "Charlotte..."Jack's face gradually turned pale, and he weakly smiled at me. "I'm fine, Charlotte... don't be afraid, I really am fine."When I was on the boat, I deeply regretted tr

I had a dream. And it was a nightmare— In the end, I dreamt of my grandma, talking to me with a kind look on her face. But I couldn't understand what she was saying. It felt like she was saying goodbye. But why was she saying goodbye to me? "Grandma, don't go!" I saw my grandma leaving and I was shouting and chasing after her in my dream. She was walking slowly, but I couldn't catch up with her no matter what. Suddenly, the scene changed, and I began fall, which jolted me awake. "Don't move." I was covered in cold sweat, my calf held by some force. It hurt so much I frowned and gasped. Gradually calming down, I saw Frank massaging my calf. "You cramped up." I did cramp, but he reacted faster than I did. "Frank, how long until we get back to Jeswood?" Frank glanced at his watch. "Around eight or nine tonight." "I want to go see Grandma as soon as we get back." Frank paused, then said, "Okay." I felt something was off. "Are you

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

"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
