"I was more honest than you about this."Nina was not angry, her smile seemed glued to her face.Her tone remained gentle. "Tonight, let them resolve the previous misunderstanding. Tomorrow night, we can just let them have a new misunderstanding."Outside, the owner of the escape room watched the surveillance footage and said to a nearby employee, "These two are really bold. The ghost have been trying to scare them for a while, and they're still calmly chatting together."The car drove into the underground car park. Before it had even come to a complete stop, Jane was ready to open the door and get out.Zachary reached out a large hand and pressed down on her, "If you want to talk in the car, I'm here for it.""You really have issues," Jane replied coldly.The driver wisely slipped away.Zachary asked her, "Upstairs or here?"Jane lifted her leg to kick him. "Neither. I don't want to talk to you. Just breathing the same air as you makes me feel sick."Especially the faint sce

"Fine."When good words didn't work, he started to threaten her.Jane was so angry that her teeth itched. She ground her teeth and said, "There won't be any unpleasantness between them. Frank will always stand firmly by Charlotte. As soon as I tell Charlotte about your shameless behavior, Frank will surely find a way to make you unable to do anything."Zachary, however, smirked. "Just in time. I've been bored lately. Let Frank and your best friend skip their honeymoon and come to spar with me, so they can focus on serious matters."Jane felt defeated.Not defeated by Zachary, but by Frank.If Zachary really engaged Frank in a business battle, the city would be thrown into chaos.At that point, Charlotte would definitely worry.They had just gotten married, because she couldn't enjoy her life properly, she felt guilty.But she held her ground verbally. "You really are a good friend to Frank."Zachary didn't take it to heart. He brushed Jane's disheveled hair and said, "Can we

Zachary hadn't really heard her previous words. He also didn't catch the latter part clearly.Faintly, it seemed he heard the word "want."He pressed her wandering hands down and spoke again, his voice already thick with desire, "If you could just speak properly, I wouldn't have to do this."‘Oh, now it’s my fault too.’Jane took the opportunity to bite his Adam's apple.Zachary's grip on her waist tightened suddenly, causing her to gasp in pain.She unhappily said, "Let go."Zachary pulled her tighter into his embrace, resting his chin on her shoulder.It seemed like he sighed in resignation, but Jane detected a faint hint of triumph in it."If you keep this up, I'll just take it as you've forgiven me and that you like me."‘Listen to this ridiculous logic. It was no wonder his family was involved in both politics and business,’ thought Jane.After cursing him inwardly, Jane continued where he left off, "I get it now. Mr. Collins just enjoys the feeling of me chasing after
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 700
Zachary was quite surprised when she pinched his mouth shut.His usual calm and indifferent demeanor was nowhere to be seen.Jane held his mouth tightly, looking at him coldly. "Mr. Collins, you may have power and influence, but if you continue to harass me, then a person who has nothing to lose won’t be afraid of anything. Even if it costs me my life, I will make you pay the price."This was not what Zachary wanted.Hearing her say she liked someone else caused a fire to surge in his chest, wildly crashing around.He couldn't control himself.At that moment, he had only one thought and that was to silence her irritating mouth.Now that he had calmed down a bit, he recalled the hurtful things he had said earlier.At that time, Jane probably wanted to sew his mouth shut."I've let you scold me," he said, removing her hand from his mouth. "Aren't you done venting your anger? Tell me what would make you feel better?”Jane's expression was indifferent. "I already told you, didn’t

"I told the security guard to let you in."Michael had actually prepared himself for Jane to refuse.He was also ready for her to end their casual relationship.When he received her message telling him to come in, he was overjoyed, spinning around where he stood.With the security guard's confirming gaze, he entered Jane's community, heading toward her building.Meanwhile, Zachary received the news that Michael had entered Jane's home.He couldn't sit still for a moment, grabbing his coat and heading out.However, when he opened the door, he came face to face with the thinly dressed Nina."Zachary..."Zachary paused slightly but still draped his coat over her shoulders, not allowing her to enter. He asked, "What's wrong?"Nina and Michael had discussed their plan at the escape room.But they had received news that Jane had left Zachary's place.She thought that the two would have resolved their misunderstanding and would be stuck together.They were both adults, and Jane w

Nina rolled her eyes. If he didn't come in, then wouldn’t she just fall for nothing? It was really painful. She continued in a crying tone, "Zachary, can I no longer paint in the future? My arm can't even move... Boohoo, Zachary, if I can't paint anymore, how will I live..." Zachary could only say, "With me around, you won't starve, and besides, you haven't seen a doctor yet, don't scare yourself, it'll be fine." It really was like talking to a wall. Nina was nearly infuriated. Just when she wanted to continue coaxing Zachary to come in, she heard someone outside say, "Mr. Collins, the doctor has arrived." ‘Great. Today's suffering was all for nothing.’But it was fine, Nina suppressed her anger and began to think of other strategies. "How is it?" Zachary stood aside, avoiding the gaze that fell inside, and after the female doctor went in for a while, he asked. The female doctor replied honestly, "It's a bit serious, she needs to be sent to the hospital f

"Zachary..." Her tone was pitiful and choked with emotion. "I never meant to trouble you, but I have no family left. If you don't have time to stay with me, I'll have to rely on my godmother to take care of me. I don't want to be alone without someone close by during this time. Even though it's a small injury, I'm still very scared. I don't like being alone in the hospital, you know that."Nina returned to the country because her grandfather was critically ill. Not long ago, she had been in the hospital taking care of him, and that was how she ended up in his ward. Her grandfather had been a driver for Sir Collins all his life. Moreover, Sir Collins had sent her abroad for such a long time, keeping her separated from her grandfather, so they hadn't had the chance to spend time together. Thus, he arranged for her to receive treatment in a VIP room. Just a few days later, her grandfather passed away. Nina had already gone through a lot while abroad, and now, sending he
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 704
I couldn't bear to recall what happened yesterday, even through the screen, I felt my face heating up. At the same time, I was puzzled about how he seemed to be in such good spirits. After all, he was the one who had put in the effort. Just as I was about to reply, the doorbell rang. I got up to open the door and saw Jane's expression. Quickly, I sent a message to Frank and pulled Jane into the dining room to sit down. "You haven't eaten yet, right?" I served her some oat porridge. Frank noticed her perfunctory reply, and knew that Jane had arrived. He didn't reply to Charlotte’s message and continued with the meeting. The senior executives understood that their CEO was newly married and would be a bit clingy. Besides, even if they didn't understand, no one dared suggest that Frank shouldn't look at his phone during a meeting. At Region Gardens.Jane took the oat porridge from me but didn't drink it, propping her face up wearily. I picked up a spoon

Jordan hadn't decided yet. "Do you have any particular places you'd like to visit?"Jane said, "Then let's go shopping."She turned to Charlotte. "Can you walk?""I’m fine. If we get tired, we can find a place to sit and rest."Jane then looked at Whitney and asked if she wanted to go.Whitney nodded.The four girls made a quick decision and set off.Ross was eating an apple when he saw them coming out together. He immediately asked, "Mrs. Collins, where are you going? Do you need me to give you a lift?"Jane looked at the car behind him and noticed there were no other cars."Take us to the biggest shopping center.""Okay."The MPV was large, and with just Ross as the driver, it was more than enough for the four of them to sit comfortably."Ma’am, there are yogurts and snacks next to you, all your favorites."Jane glanced at it and said, "Remember to tell Zachary that it’s too late to apologize after making a mistake."Ross would only repeat the exact words to Zachary, an
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 1433
Ross agreed and turned to leave.Jane kicked the door open with her foot, then stepped onto the balcony, and Whitney quickly came to help.After setting the breakfast down, she noticed something was wrong.Jane and Charlotte exchanged a glance.Jane asked in confusion, "Why are there things in here that neither Charlotte nor I like to eat?""It seems that Zachary and Frank were a bit careless."Whitney quickly said, "I can eat what you don't like."She wasn't picky about food, it was just that she used to not have enough to eat, so she had always eaten less and stayed thin.Jane hadn't heard Ross mention that Caleb had come.She said, "Don't you think Caleb specifically bought this for you?"Whitney was puzzled.Charlotte pointed and said, "The things we like to eat were all prepared by Frank and Zachary. They wouldn't purposely prepare things we don't eat. So, what do you think the extra food is for?"Whitney was momentarily stunned.She thought it was because Jane had or

Whitney washed up and went straight to bed.She didn't have the habit of playing on her phone before bed.Before coming to Nelana, all her work had been handed over.If something urgent came up, someone would call her.So she didn't check her phone, and thus missed Caleb's message.Caleb was on the hotel balcony, with his phone placed on the small coffee table.He held a glass of wine, swaying it absentmindedly.His gaze, however, remained fixed on the phone.But even when it got to dawn, there was no reply from Whitney.The man curved his lips slightly and lit a cigarette.He leaned against the balcony railing, waiting for the sun to rise.Whitney woke up in the morning, went to wash up, and after she finished, took a book from her luggage and went to sit on the swing on the balcony to read.As she passed the kitchen, she made herself a cup of coffee.She didn't like to move much, most of her time was spent on improving herself.She tried to learn as much as possible.S

Westley didn't say anything either.Zachary and Frank were a team, he was no match for them in an argument.His relationship with Caleb wasn't that close, so it was impossible for the latter to help him."They're having barbecue for lunch," said Frank, locking his phone. "They just ordered the ingredients."Jordan found two power strips and moved the pot to the balcony."Good thing we have these, otherwise, we wouldn't be able to eat.""Why do you have so many pots left in this house?" asked Whitney."I lived here for a while before," Jordan placed the plates and cutlery down. "I also feel like leaving these things here makes it seem like Grandpa is still around."Whitney apologized.Jordan smiled and reassured her, "It's fine. No need to apologize. From now on, we're good friends."Whitney nodded and smiled in agreement, "Alright.""By the way, Jordan.""What's up, Jane?"Jane said, "Both Zachary and Frank have booked hotels, so they don’t to stay here. It can't fit them

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
