Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 810
Hearing this, Rebecca pondered for a moment and understood. She was dissatisfied. “It’s all your fault for giving him a direction.” Eric also realized this, and for someone usually serious, he appeared momentarily at a loss. “I didn’t want him to look for Jane anymore, but who knew his mind could turn so quickly?” Suddenly, Rebecca felt a swell of pride. “Of course, just look whose son he is.” Eric retorted mercilessly, “Yes, you gave birth to him. And now, for a woman, he’s willing to throw away the Collins family. What do you plan to do about it, Mrs. Collins?” Rebecca had no plan at that moment. Zachary had grown up, unlike his childhood, he was no longer easily deceived, and he could hold his ground. “I suspect that there’s something going on when Frank mentioned giving Zachary a big gift. It’s probably the truth about Nina’s pregnancy. Zachary holding the wedding is meant to expose Nina’s actions under everyone’s gaze, causing her backlash,” said Eric. Rebecca fel
Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 811
Zachary seemed to ignore her changing expression and did not expose her poor acting skills.He pulled over a chair and sat down.Nina was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses.But she didn’t ask anything, only spoke with a choked voice filled with grievance, “Zachary, our child is gone…”Zachary responded with a soft nod.Nina continued, “The doctor said I’ll never be able to bear children again.”He replied again with a simple nod.Nina didn’t fully understand Zachary's personality.This time, she managed to manipulate him because she saw how much he cared about Jane and found a chance.Before the child was lost, he had already mentioned canceling the engagement.Now that she had lost her leverage, she couldn’t understand why he was still willing to marry her.Did he think there was no evidence?The child was gone, if she insisted it was Zachary’s, he would never be able to get rid of her…She couldn't figure it out, but she wasn't foolish enough to brin

“Then they start to confess.”Nina finally grasped something.She didn’t say anything more and silently finished the sandwiches before lying down with her back to Zachary.So that was it.He wanted her to take the bullet for Jane.Since Jane had drowned, his enemies had already discovered his beloved.Zachary’s weaknesses were hard to find, it was rare to have one, so how could he let it go?Originally, news of their wedding plans had already leaked out.Many had tested the waters in recent days, and some even found out that she had been to the hospital’s obstetrics department.By then, Jane broke up with Zachary.If Zachary had been looking for her openly, that would have been fine.But he didn’t look for her and went ahead with the wedding as planned.Now everyone would think that the rumors about his true love were true.Perhaps some would even think that Zachary’s search for Jane was a smokescreen to protect her.After that, all the arrows would be aimed at her.It w

“Madam Hall, please don’t get upset.” Jane stepped forward and gently patted Madam Hall’s chest. “You can’t get too emotional. Let us resolve our matters ourselves, for now, let’s eat.”Madam Hall could hardly eat, looking at Michael with some disappointment. “Are you trying to infuriate me?”Michael knelt before Madam Hall. “Grandma, please don’t be mad. Can I resolve this matter with Jane ourselves?”His kneeling made Jane feel a bit awkward.After all, it was her fault for not controlling herself and mentioned the matter to Madam Hall.If something happened to Madam Hall because of this, she was definitely responsible.“Grandma, let us talk about this ourselves. I’ll bring the food into the room, and you can eat alone, okay?”Madam Hall sighed and shot Michael a glare, allowing Jane to support her into her bedroom.Jane brought the food inside, and when she came back out, Michael was still kneeling.“Are you kneeling to me? Come on, I can’t accept this. Go get some wine, le

“But Zachary…” Jane seemed unable to find the right words to express her feelings. After a moment of thought, she said, “He… is different.”There was a hint of bitterness in her smile.“My breakup with him wasn’t just because of Nina. It was also because I felt I didn’t have the courage to go against the whole world with him. Because I loved him, I didn’t want him to become an enemy of his family and the world just because of me. He started off as a fine young man, but in the end, he would have nothing. Michael, since you said you like me, I think you can understand what I mean.”Listening to her confession about Zachary, Michael felt a pang of pain in his heart.But he believed that Jane was suffering even more.From the moment he met her, she had always been vibrant and radiant.Like a bird soaring freely, only finding a branch to rest on when she was tired.After resting, she would continue to embrace the sky.No one could make her stop flying.But now, she was here, expres

After listening, Zachary asked in a cold voice, “Abroad?”Ronan nodded. “We traced the call and found it was from a public phone booth.”“Since it didn’t get through and there’s no surveillance, we can’t determine who Nina contacted.”Zachary furrowed his brows but didn’t linger on this minor issue.He tidied himself up and went downstairs, only to be stopped by his parents.His grandparents were also present.It was yet another intense family meeting.He sat down on a single sofa, crossing his long legs and idly twirling a lighter in his hand.He didn’t speak.After a moment of silence in the living room, it was Rebecca who broke the ice.“Zachary, the child’s not yours. You should already know that, right?”“Yep.”“What are your plans then?”“What plans?”Zachary’s indifferent demeanor didn’t anger the Collins family. Since he had always been like this growing up, they felt it was a good thing—rational, detached, and careful, not swayed by emotions.Who would have th

Nina truly didn’t expect Zachary to visit her ward.However, she soon managed to pull a hint of mockery from within.For Jane, Zachary was willing to do anything.“Zachary, I don’t want to hold a wedding with you.”Zachary was peeling an apple, the knife dancing between his long fingers, leaving a vivid pattern on the fruit.Upon hearing this, the man didn’t even look up.His expression remained calm, focused solely on the apple.Nina could only see a girl-like face.But she didn’t care what he was carving, nor did she want to know.“I know you want me to be a shield to protect Jane, but I don’t want that.”Zachary set the apple down on the side table, his pale fingers still gripping the fruit knife.A slight movement caused the blade to gleam coldly.“What’s wrong? Weren’t you the one who would do whatever it takes to marry me?”Zachary’s lips barely curved into a faint smile. “Marrying me always comes at a painful cost. Unfortunately, it’s too late for you to realize thi

Michael raised his hand and mimed a zipper motion across his lips.The moment Jane's plane landed in the capital, Zachary received the news.He only learned of her arrival and didn’t try to stop her or seek her out.To his surprise, she contacted him first.“Where are you?” “Let’s talk over the phone.”Had she grown so distant after just a few days apart?Jane didn’t want to lose the bet so easily and wanted to do something. “If you don’t tell me where you are, I can just ask Frank.”Zachary simply told her to come to the First Infirmary before hanging up.Jane's companion, Michael, who was nearby, picked up on the tension.“Jane, you seem upset?”Jane shook her head. It was colder in Jeswood than in Larecton. She put on her red coat and walked out of the airport without replying.Upon arriving at the hospital, they headed to the VIP ward.Seeing Roy, Jane greeted him and asked, “Where’s Zachary?”Roy pointed towards the smoking area, and Jane walked over.Michael follo

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."
