Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 775
“Zachary, you’re still worried about me, right?”Zachary’s expression remained impassive. “Take the medicine.”Nina’s eyes brightened as she eagerly asked, “Can you feed...”“Not going to happen.” Zachary’s refusal was firm.Even if he needed to find the deleted surveillance footage from that night, he couldn’t suddenly change his attitude toward her.Since she had calculated everything to this point, it would be difficult for her not to be suspicious.“I’ll leave it here. Whether you drink it or not is your business. You don’t want this child, I can’t help that. The right to reproduce is yours, and you’re the one most qualified to decide its fate.”With that, Zachary left the room.Nina stared at the medicine, deep in thought.Jane woke up in the early morning, wanting to go to the bathroom.Charlotte quickly stepped forward to help her, asking, “Are you still feeling dizzy or nauseous?”“Much better,” Jane replied, her voice hoarse. Her steps were still unsteady. “But the bump on my

Frank knew Charlotte wouldn’t return home that night, so he didn’t go back either. When dawn broke, he went around to the back of the courtyard, climbed over the wall, and landed gracefully. He clapped his hands, casually stuffed one into his pocket, and walked leisurely to the entrance of the Collins family. Zachary opened the door for him. "Take a shower." Zachary didn’t pay him any mind, he knew where his bedroom was. Before Frank went upstairs, he ran into the Sir Collins returning from the backyard after practicing boxing and greeted him with a smirk. "Good morning, Sir Collins." Sir Collins knew he couldn’t stop Frank and couldn’t be bothered to lose his temper. "Just in time for breakfast." "I'll take a shower first." ‘Well, he’s certainly making himself feel at home,’ thought Sir Collins. Sir Collins looked at Zachary, "Even if Frank helps you, I still won’t agree..." "Julie, bring me the medicine." Zachary ignored the rest and took the medicine to Nin

Zachary walked in and set the tray down. “Eat.” Nina looked at him, her face devoid of color, making her dark pupils appear deep. Zachary stood there with one hand in his pocket, his expression neutral. After staring at each other for a while, Nina smiled. “Zachary, you want something from me, right?” Zachary remained silent. Nina picked up the oat porridge and took a sip, her tone leisurely. “This feels quite pointless. Why don’t you agree to one condition? I’ll get rid of the child, and we can go back to how we used to be.” Zachary likely guessed what that condition was. He had thought that her feelings for him were just youthful infatuation, something that was normal given they lived under the same roof and spent nearly every day together. He assumed that after being abroad for so many years, and as she grew older, those adolescent feelings would have long faded away. Unexpectedly, not only had they not disappeared, but they had become more stubborn. Af

The two men stood up in tacit agreement, ready to leave. But before they could take a step, Zachary was called back by his mother. “Let the family doctor take a look at you first.” Frank sat back down and continued eating. Zachary thought, ‘You really are my good friend.’ He could only sit back down. His mother instructed Julie to call the doctor, and soon Dr. Travis arrived. “Sir, let me check you.” Zachary nodded. After Dr. Travis examined him, he inquired about the situation. Zachary simply said it hurt and that he couldn’t hear well. No matter what Dr. Travis asked, he stuck to that statement. Finally, Dr. Travis said, “It’s better to go to the hospital for an X-ray. Hearing issues can be serious, so we can’t be careless.” The Collins family understood clearly that Frank was helping Zachary cover for him to go to the hospital to see Jane. They really couldn’t stop him. But recently, Zachary must have been holding in a lot of anger, which co

Frank responded with a nod. Zachary asked, “Is it to make her anxious first?” “Only then can she give things away,” Frank replied, closing his eyes again. “With her level of cunning, she won't be able to do anything if you have someone watching her closely. At this stage, her focus will be on the child, and she won't contact Michael again, so she can only end up in disarray.” Nina indeed heard what Frank said, but she had some understanding of him, a statement didn’t always mean what it seemed on the surface. The underlying meaning could be dangerously misleading. Right now, she couldn’t afford to panic. She had asked the owner for the footage from the escape room when she left and had watched it, there was no recording of her and Michael's voices. She could use the excuse of “bumping into each other while playing” to brush things off. But she didn’t know why, hearing it come from Frank made her unable to remain calm. She took an old phone out from under the

Frank kissed her ear softly, his voice charming. “We’re home now. How do you want to hit me? I’ll be at your service.”Jane naturally knew Frank had arrived. The couple hadn't seen each other that evening, and she guessed they were getting cozy, so she wasn’t in a hurry to bring Charlotte back.She focused on the medication, and just as she felt a bit drowsy, the ward door was pushed open.She thought it was Charlotte returning, greeting with a smile. “I thought you’d only come back at lunchtime…”What came into view was a face that, despite showing signs of age, was well-kept.She straightened up a bit. “Madam Collins. Would you like some water?” Jane reached out, intending to pour a glass of water.Madam Collins approached and stopped her with a gesture. “No need.”Then she sat down in a nearby chair. “Don’t be nervous. I just want to chat with you.”Jane enjoyed chatting with people and could strike up a conversation with anyone. But facing Zachary’s grandmother made h

When she first pursued Zachary, Jane intended to indulge in the moment. Who would have thought that she would truly become attached and want to fight for it now?“Madam Collins, I won’t sugarcoat things or speak in grand terms. I acknowledge that I failed to guard against Nina, that’s on me. As for me and Zachary, we’re inseparable at this stage, so you need not bother trying to persuade me. The future is uncertain, we can’t predict what will happen next. I only want to focus on the present. I can’t help him with his career, but I won’t create trouble for him either. I won’t force him into uncomfortable situations like Nina did.”At that point, Jane paused.When she spoke again, her tone was incredibly serious.“Madam Collins, if in the future someone holds a gun to my head and threatens Zachary, you can rest assured that I won’t let him be in a difficult position. Beyond that, I have nothing more to say. My head hurts, so you’re free to go.”Madam Collins studied Jane for a whi

Zachary naturally believed such words. He knew they weren’t just useless threats. But ever since he decided to be with Jane, he had anticipated this situation.He steadied his emotions and calmly said, “Grandma, if that day really comes, and you put Jane in danger, then my ties with the Collins family will be severed completely.”“I’ll make it clear. I will only be with her. You know what I mean.”Zachary’s words caused Madam Collins to be hospitalized in the end. However, it wasn’t too serious, she insisted on being hospitalized in the same room as Sir Collins. Regardless of the truth, given the current situation, Zachary couldn’t continue to oppose them.Though his family was strict, they didn’t constantly scold him. When things reached a deadlock like this, it was also for Jane’s safety. But it hadn’t come to that point yet.Charlotte returned to accompany Jane.Frank stayed behind to prevent any unexpected situations.When Eric arrived that night, he saw Zachary

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."
