Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 659
Zachary flipped through the book "108 Ways to Pursue a Girl" and said slowly, "There's no need to waste medical resources. Please can you bring some medicine over, Miss Greenwood?" Jane replied, "Medicine? That's easy. Just wait, Mr. Collins." Zachary curved his lips slightly, it seemed that these 108 ways were quite effective. After Jane hung up, she found someone to run the errand. Zachary purposely waited in the living room. The moment the doorbell rang, he immediately went to open the door. It turned out to be a small, dark-skinned man with a big smile. "Hello, sir, here's the fever medicine you ordered. That'll be 59.99." Zachary paid the money, returned to the sofa, and stared thoughtfully at the book "108 Ways to Pursue a Girl." Why didn't it work? At Region Gardens, I saw Jane looking happy and asked, "Are you feeling better?" Jane had the errand runner take a photo of her. Seeing Zachary's shocked expression, she couldn't help but laugh even more.

But there were many people who felt it was a shame. My mom was famously talented, a naturally gifted actress who became well-known from a supporting role. She gained a lot of favor from the audience. Many waited for years to hear about her return, and now that she was withdrawing again, her fans had been hoping for her comeback. Moreover, my mom's injuries had mostly healed, so they wouldn’t affect her ability to act or attend events. But she doesn't want to show her face at all. "I want to try a different approach. I've slowly started handing over the company's matters to Joanne, and now I just want more time to spend with you and Sparrow." Jane went to book a venue for Charlotte's birthday and for Sparrow to be introduced to everyone. The place she found was special because the main hall connected to a small hall. No worries about crowds, during the main event, the small hall would still have a view. Just as she was about to pay the deposit, she received

"No need for 'buts.'" Frank patted my head. "A favor is a favor. He helped us, and I'll remember this debt of gratitude, but it can't serve as a shield for him hurting your friend."I didn't have an opinion about Zachary that was this extreme. I just wanted to know what he really meant for Jane. He had been so cold before, speaking harshly, why was he suddenly playing this childish game now? "Why can't he just say it directly?" Frank opened his phone and showed me a picture. "108 Ways to Pursue a Girl" I tugged at the corner of my mouth. "What is this?" Frank raised his chin slightly. "It means just what it says." I put down the phone, thinking a bit. "Does he want to pursue Jane?" "That's one way to understand it." I felt a bit speechless. "But can't he just state his intentions first before taking action? Feigning illness really isn't charming at all." Frank put some food on my plate. "Eat first, you need energy to get angry." I chewed the food hard, incredul

It took a while to finally find a place that was satisfactory in every way. As long as it didn’t rain, it would be perfect. She was exhausted, her back aching, as soon as she got home. She then collapsed onto the sofa, not wanting to do anything. But after lying down for a while, she still got up to remove my makeup. While she was applying a face mask, her phone on the coffee table kept ringing. She picked it up and sneered after seeing the caller ID. She wasn’t going to answer and even blacklisted him. On the other end, Zachary felt helpless. He waited all day, but Jane hadn't sent him a single message. Did she really not care about him at all? Was she really going to treat him like a stranger, even less than a regular friend? He pressed on his aching forehead and sent her a message. "Tomorrow at 4 PM, Half-Mount Teahouse, I have something to tell you." Jane didn't receive the message. Text messages were different from WhatsApp. One wouldn’t r

As I stepped out the door, I saw Jane's car. "I'm sorry to keep you waiting." I smiled as I got in. Jane started the engine, her smile ambiguous. "No problem." I buckled my seatbelt, feeling a bit shy about the topic, especially since it involved me. I changed the subject and asked, "Tell me honestly, have you really given up on Zachary?" Jane raised her hand in a vow. "I couldn't be more serious, I'm more genuine than pearls." There were some things I decided not to say. Once I figured out what Zachary really meant, I could address it then. Zachary had waited at the Half-Mount Teahouse all day. But he didn't see Jane. Earl Grey tea was supposed to cool him down, but it only made him more agitated. If he had known, he might as well have gone to a bar. But he felt a bar wasn't a proper place for serious conversations. Now, he found himself in a bit of a mess. "Drinking tea alone?" Just hearing that lazy, irritating voice, Zachary knew who

Jane said, "I knew you would love it, so hurry and try it on." I put on the dress layer by layer. I thought the waistline would be tight, so I took a breath and asked Jane to button it for me first. Once I borrowed the dress, I could slim down a bit before the wedding day, and it would fit perfectly. But surprisingly, I didn't feel any urgency. "It fits quite well, it doesn't seem like any alterations are needed. You can loosen the bust area a bit later." Jane turned me toward the mirror, clearly amazed. "It really suits you! You look beautiful!" Looking at my reflection, I felt satisfied, this was the dress I had always wanted. As for the suit, I knew without Frank trying it on that it would look great on him. "I don't think it needs alterations. The bust area looks a bit tight now, but it will loosen up soon." Jane understood and opened the door, calling for the host. The host came in, eyes brightening. "It looks like it was made just for you." The

Now they had even bought the place next door, were they planning to build a playground? But my focus wasn’t on that. What struck me was my mom saying she wanted to move out to give Frank and me space. I had noticed her strange expression when I left today. But I was in a rush and didn't think to ask more. Now, it felt even more awkward to bring it up. Jane helped me out, saying, "It really is important to have your own space, no matter the relationship. I think it's crucial. Buying the place next door is perfect. I can come play with the kid, and if it gets late, I can just stay over. Plus, I can chat with Ms. Jackson about gossip—sounds great!" My mom laughed. "Those gossips won't fill your stomach, I don't understand why you like hearing them." Jane cocked her brows. "It's entertaining." My mom shook her head affectionately. "Fine, during dinner tonight, I'll tell you a couple of stories for some entertainment." Jane stepped back and whispered to me, "Do

Charlie sat down next to Jane and called the bartender for drinks. "I really have nothing to say to him, it's way more interesting to drink with a beautiful woman."Jane just wanted some alone time, to be precise, she didn't want to drink with Charlie. It felt so uninteresting.Charlie didn't sense Jane's annoyance at all, he was busy sharing in their group chat. "Two days of accidental encounters—what else could it be but fate?" He paired it with a picture of Jane drinking.Frank was too busy to check his phone at that moment. Zachary, however, glanced at it. Recognizing Jane's familiar background, he stood up to leave, but when he reached the private room's door, he turned back. It was clear she wanted to draw a line between them, why should he chase after someone who didn't want him?Jane found the drinking uncomfortable and made an excuse to slip away. Back home, she felt restless and opened another bottle of wine. Out of boredom, she scrolled through Twitt

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
