Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 817
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

Jane finally came to her senses and said thank you. "There's no need to thank me, Jane," Michael carefully applied burn ointment on Jane's hand. He even blew on it to prevent her from feeling pain. Jane had endured much worse injuries than this. However, looking at Michael's cautious demeanor warmed her heart. "Michael." "What is it, Jane?" Jane reached out to touch his head and said, "You won." Michael smiled. "Jane, then let bygones be bygones. We can’t go back in time, so let’s look forward." "Okay." Jane nodded. After applying the medicine, the two of them left the hospital. Roy followed Zachary and hid in a corner. He sighed softly to himself. When Rebecca found Michael's house, she was informed by Madam Hall that Jane had returned to Jeswood. She hurried back to Jeswood. The person she arranged said that Jane was on her way home, so she quickly instructed the driver to head there. The taxi didn’t enter the neighborhood but stopped a

Rebecca's expression suddenly turned darkened. It seemed that Zachary's determination to protect Jane could not be shaken by anyone. For the sake of a woman, he risked his own future. This caused Rebecca to find Jane even more displeasing. Jane was very good at reading people's emotions, since she was young, she had known when her father was drunk to a certain extent that she would be hit. Since Rebecca did not like her, she felt no need to say much. At that moment, she had broken up with Zachary. Moreover, even if she wanted to please this future mother-in-law, the other party was clearly unmoved. She didn’t want to be an ass-licker, but kept the basic manners. "Is there anything else you want? If not, I'll be going home." Rebecca hesitated, she did not want the wedding to happen, but she also did not wish for Zachary to reconcile with Jane. There was one more thing—Zachary had said not to ruin the wedding, or else… Jane noticed Rebecca was hesitating but

Madam Collins held onto her walking stick. "Speaking of which, we also had our faults." Rebecca looked at Madam Collins. Madam Collins continued, "Things will develop in the opposite direction when they reach a certain point. Those who are overly calm and rational find it hardest to navigate matters of the heart." Rebecca pursed her lips. "I should have arranged for him to marry a wealthy young lady when he was growing up, instead of letting him be free for a few more years." Eric had been at work all day and only learned about these matters when he returned at night. But he brought good news. "The men at the hospital sent word back that Nina refused to hold a wedding with Zachary." Nina was now openly confronting Zachary and no longer cared about her image. She had gone crazy at the hospital, smashing anything she could. Zachary sat there, calmly watching her destroy things, then raised his hand slightly, and Roy immediately brought forward the compensation.

Jane hung up the phone, not wanting to continue listening. The content wasn’t really appropriate.She went to the kitchen and asked, "What did you make?"At Region Gardens.Charlotte pressed against the man who was moving closer. "What does Zachary mean?"Frank truthfully informed her.Charlotte furrowed her brows. "His intentions are good, but the method... Jane's quite a carefree person, she doesn't mind much, but I think Zachary's approach is somewhat biased.""Doesn't matter."Frank caught her hand that was pressing against him and kissed it. "You should worry more about me."Michael made a couple of dishes.All of them were Jane's favorites.Jane eagerly grabbed some food and placed it in her mouth, giving a thumbs up. "Delicious."Michael served her some soup.Jane took a sip, clicking her tongue. "When did you learn to cook?"His cooking skills were really quite good.Michael nodded. "I worked in a restaurant before."Jane thought about his family situation. "How

Roy had something he wanted to say, but when he met Zachary's cold gaze, he quickly backed off.Nina sat up and looked at him. "Zachary, you still don't understand women. It’s quite rare for someone like Jane to genuinely fall in love with someone. If you upset her this time, it will be very difficult for her to open her heart to you again. I sincerely suggest that you go and talk things out with her now. That's the best solution."Zachary continued to look at the documents on his computer.But Nina didn't stop just because he wasn't speaking."Even if you use me to shield her, what happens after I die? What will you do then? Are you going to find another woman to ask as a shield for her? Let's not talk about your enemies. The Collins family won't approve of this either. Besides, your enemies aren't fools. They'll be watching you like locusts drawn to blood. They won't stop until they've eradicated you. Zachary, once you go down that path, you'll never be able to be with Jane. She'

At the exit of the car park, there was an off-road vehicle parked there.Zachary leaned against the front of the car, his long fingers holding a cigarette.His indifferent gaze pierced through the windshield of the car and landed on Jane's face.Jane didn't even glance at him. She turned the steering wheel and sped onto the main road.Roy was just as clueless. He didn't know what Zachary was doing there so early in the morning, torturing himself.Zachary turned and got into the car.Roy quickly recognized the situation and sat in the passenger seat, fastening his seatbelt.The next second, the car shot out like an arrow from the bow.He quickly grabbed the handle to steady himself.The black off-road vehicle stood out even in the heavy morning traffic.Soon, Zachary caught up with Jane's car.At a set of traffic lights, he stopped steadily beside her.Despite the cold weather, Zachary rolled down his window, casually resting his arm on the ledge. The watch on his wrist caug

Rebecca looked at his expression and asked, "Did you have a quarrel with Jane?"Zachary didn't respond.Rebecca recalled that yesterday, he had been parked behind her car. He must have heard it when Jane introduced her boyfriend. She thought that Zachary, being quiet about it, might have managed to hold back, but now, early this morning, he had gone there himself."Your neck… Did Jane do this?" she asked.Zachary controlled his emotions and replied, "If you have something to say, just say it."Rebecca didn't beat around the bush. "Cancel the wedding with Nina."Zachary refused. "If that's all you want to discuss, I'll have to excuse myself."Seeing him about to leave, Rebecca pressed him down and started to advise him with earnestness. "Son, this is your first relationship. You don't understand what's going on in the heads of women. If you go ahead with the wedding with Nina, Jane will never forgive you."Zachary remained indifferent. "Isn't this what you all want?"Rebecca wa

She now saw herself only as a sister figure to him. Even though they were a bit close, there was still a sense of distance and wariness.It was impossible for her to fully open up to him.But at that moment, suddenly talking about their relationship wasn't really appropriate.Besides, with how things had developed between her and Westley, if he intervened, it would just force them apart.In the end, it would be her who got hurt.‘Forget it.’Nathan decided to just watch how things would unfold.If Westley still didn't realize his mistakes and hurt Jordan again, then no matter what, he couldn't let them be together."Has Jasmine not come back?""Huh?" The topic changed too quickly, and Jordan was a little slow to react. "No.""Nathan, did you take anything from this room?"Nathan's gaze darkened slightly. "No."Noticing that he was in a bad mood, Jordan didn't ask about his situation with Jasmine."Jasmine probably has something she wants to do."Nathan could tell from her

"I've already picked out a few candidates, but I just haven't had the chance to arrange meetings for you yet. Maybe you've only ever been exposed to him since childhood. Try dating someone else, and you might realize he isn't the only one for you." Jordan shook her head. "Nathan, that's not it..." "I'm certain I like him—no matter how outstanding others are, I won't be interested." Nathan frowned. "You've never tried being with anyone else. How can you be so sure?" Of course, Jordan was sure. Ever since her youthful heart first fluttered, she had been certain, apart from Westley, she would never love anyone else. And that was precisely why his indifference had wounded her so deeply. She had filed for divorce and despised his later attempts at remorse. Because she had never wavered in her feelings—yet he only began to love her after she decided to let go. If he had realized it even a little sooner, they wouldn't have suffered through such a painful, drawn-out

"I’m not doing anything," Westley answered her question, squeezing her hand slightly. "Just need your help with something."Jordan was already in her 20s.How could she not understand the things between men and women?His voice was dangerously hoarse now, and what kind of help could he possibly need from her?"You do it yourself, I can't help.""Well, I’ll do all the hard work."He was the one doing all the hard work indeed.But he was holding her hand, making her hand... move with his!Jordan tried to pull her hand back. "Westley, you’re making me mad."Westley leaned on her shoulder and laughed lowly. "Alright, after you help me, feel free to get angry. Hit me however you want. But right now, Jordy, I can't stop."The temperature in the kitchen gradually rose.With the heating, it made the air dry and uncomfortable.She had just taken a shower to cool down, but now, a thin layer of sweat had formed.She felt hot.Jordan had nowhere to hide and couldn't break free.In t

The arm around her waist suddenly tightened.The breath sprayed near her ear, hot and unsettling.The man's hoarse voice came. "Don't want to sleep? Then how about we do something else?"Jordan gripped the blanket tightly, weakly lying, "I want to go to the bathroom. I haven't washed up yet either."Westley released her.Jordan quickly escaped. She didn't know what she might do if she stayed another second.Westley lowered his head, glancing at her, then sighed deeply.This was a pyrrhic victory.Jordan stayed in the bathroom for a long time.She even took a shower.But after finishing, she suddenly remembered that her bath towel had been taken by Westley.Standing in the bathroom, she felt like she had no way out.And in her haste to come in, she hadn't grabbed a change of clothes.She had impulsively picked up the clothes that Westley had swapped out of and her clothes and tossed them into the laundry basket.Her clothes were now all wet.She could only silently fume.

‘I’ve already taken my pants off and you’re just going to leave it at that?’She thought this must have been intentional on Westley's part.She raised her leg and kicked him, then turned around, pulling the blanket away, her back clearly showing a trace of resentment.Westley didn't mind, pulling both her and the blanket into his arms.He chuckled softly in her ear."Your reaction right now makes me think you're dissatisfied."The deliberate pause was even more teasing.Jordan immediately elbowed him.But because she was tangled in the blanket, she couldn't put much strength into it.The muffled laugh of the man in her ear clearly mocked her, making her even angrier.Her emotions flared up too quickly, and tears started falling.Westley felt the wetness on his arm, it was hot.He quickly sat up.He knew about her tendency to lose control of her tears, but seeing her cry still made his heart ache.He gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eye with his thumb and whis

"You can't possibly have nowhere to stay."Westley turned her around and found her eyes tightly closed.He laughed softly. "You used to try everything to see what’s in front of you right now, so what's wrong now?"Jordan had been influenced by dramas and novels back then.Because she was protected by the Howard family and watched over by Westley, there were no other men around her except for him.Even if there were, she couldn't see their abs.So at that time, she could only secretly look when he was training or at moments when he would take off his clothes.Leanne had also helped her a lot.When she was young, he saved her when she was hospitalized.He injured his shoulder, and he had to take off his clothes to apply medicine.During those days, she insisted on taking care of him and saw a lot.But all of this ended before she turned 18.It was like playing house, no one took it seriously.Later, she never had the chance to see Westley’s body again.Now, she couldn't loo

Westley's eyes flashed with a deep, meaningful smile.He replied calmly, "How did I trick you? I'm just being very sincere. I was just asking about the things from before. I didn't mean anything. If you're overthinking, then... Are you feeling guilty?"Jordan retorted immediately, "I'm not guilty!"Then, she weakly explained, "I didn't do anything wrong. My confession was real, and the words I said to your mom were for you. Later, I didn't contact you because your attitude toward me wasn't good. I didn't dare to reach out. So, it's all your fault."Westley laughed. "Alright, it's all my fault."He released her and stood up, heading toward the bathroom.Jordan stood frozen, not knowing why the conversation ended so abruptly.They didn't really reach any conclusion.But that wasn't the point. She followed him to the bathroom door and knocked."Westley, are you taking a shower?"There was no response. She pressed her ear to the door and thought she could hear water running.Alt

"I..."Jordan leaned on his shoulder, her voice soft. "Can you just say it?""Okay."Westley was easy to talk to. "You said that after giving it some thought, you might have mistaken your feelings for me. You might have confused sibling love with romantic love. Actually, maybe you don't really like me. That was the gist of it. The exact words, it's been so long, I don't remember."Jordan didn't believe that he didn't remember.If he didn't hold a grudge, he wouldn't have treated her the way he did afterward.He didn't even send her a message.Even when the Howard family invited them back for dinner, he had his subordinates contact her."You really are petty."Westley chuckled, pulling her even closer.He kissed the corner of her lips. "Yep, I'm petty. For the things I owe you, I'll apologize and make it up to you, but for the things I've done right, I'll remember them and make you pay me back."Jordan quickly grabbed his wrist, her speech speeding up."Westley, I can explai

Jordan was rendered speechless. "You didn't drink tonight. What, are you drunk from fruit juice?"Westley let go of her, changed his shoes, and, as if he were at his own home, casually unbuttoned his shirt and sat down on the sofa."Huh?"Jordan changed her shoes and walked over. She sat at the coffee table in front of him, her face serious as she said, "You'd better tell me the truth!"Westley leaned back against the sofa, his posture casual."What do you want me to confess?""I want you to..."The man suddenly moved closer, and Jordan swallowed her words.She stared wide-eyed at the extraordinarily handsome man in front of her.He had undone four buttons of his shirt, and as he moved, his muscular physique subtly showed through.Her gaze couldn't help but fall inside his collar.Suddenly, she felt her mouth becoming dry."Jordy, you need to take responsibility for your words.""I..."Before she could finish, her waist was grabbed, and before she could react, she was sit
