Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 777
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
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 782
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

Rebecca finally spoke up. “Zachary, we’re not forcing you. We’ve asked before if you wanted to take your time and carefully consider which path to take, and we’ve allowed you to do so for many years. But this leniency doesn’t mean you should fall in love with a woman and go against us. It’s meant for you to make the choices you should. You have to bear the responsibilities of the Collins family, that’s destined from the day you were born and it can’t be changed.”Zachary remained silent after hearing these words. They weren’t wrong, and neither was he. It was a deadlock.Madam Collins spoke again. “The Collins family has been passed down through generations to ensure its continued glory. We’ve put all our effort into raising you, and all our sacrifices were meant to see a return. You were meant to marry a woman from a powerful background, to share the responsibilities of the Collins family, and to contribute just as we have—that’s what you’re supposed to do.

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
