Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 870
Eric pondered for a moment. "Then, in early next month, during Zachary's birthday, we'll invite the Greyson family over. At that time, we'll announce the engagement directly." Rebecca was worried. "After what happened with the Sanchez family last time, I think it's better to give him a little more time." Eric replied, "How much time have we given him already? It's no use, we should be more direct." "Then, if we force him too much, Zachary will..." "After his birthday, the position of the head of the Collins family will be passed to him. Are we just going to stand by and watch him marry that woman?" That was definitely not the outcome Rebecca wanted to see. But the alternative wasn't something she was eager to see either. "Let's have them meet at the birthday party first, but don't announce the engagement. If anyone asks, just give a vague answer." "After the birthday, Zachary will need to go on a business trip to Nelana for a while. Let the Greyson family's d

"I wasn't exactly sure, but Jordan said it was because they had different views.""Was it a love marriage, then?""Her grandfather was the deputy officer to her ex-husband's grandfather, and he once shielded the old man from bullets. He was her only relative, so after he passed away, the old man arranged for his grandson to marry her."Jane felt that she was no longer interested in the gossip she was rending. This was much more interesting."And then? Was the bugger unwilling?" After speaking, she realized she had been rude and quickly explained, "I'm just talking normally, Sparrow is here, I won’t swear."Sparrow looked at Jane. "Phew..."Yasmin pinched Sparrow’s little face and took a sip of the hot tea Jason handed her."Her ex-husband really didn’t like her. After they married, he was reassigned to another province. During that time, aside from doing photo shoots, she also went abroad to photograph wildlife. In three years of marriage, they didn’t even see each other’s face.

They stayed at the place where the photos were taken for a while, then the group returned to the hotel.Jane suddenly remembered."Her husband is so rich, and she’s rich too, yet she only gave me a 1% discount!"Yasmin smiled and said, "I didn’t even get a discount at all. Giving you 1% off means we must get along well. When she was young, she was raised by her grandfather in the Howard family. But the Howard family is huge, with many rooms, and there were constant power struggles. Later, she married Westley, but he was often absent, and there weren’t many people backing her up. If she hadn’t become famous early on, she might have suffered financially. She wouldn’t touch the Howard family’s money, so being a bit stingy is understandable."Jane tucked her hands into her sleeves. "Maybe we got along so well because we have similar experiences."Charlotte gave Jane a hug. "It’s all in the past now.""Yes, it’s all in the past."After spending five days in St. Penalow, the group ret

But Zachary’s path was different from Frank’s.He couldn’t be as reckless as Frank.Moreover, Frank had been persecuted many times before reaching this point.Zachary clearly had the option of taking a safer route, with no need to take risks.After all, he was her only son."I’ll go greet the guests, you two chat with Zachary."Frank nodded. After watching Rebecca leave, he walked over to Zachary and clinked his glass with his."Congratulations, birthday boy. You’re a year older"Zachary glanced at him. "We’re the same age.""Not the same. I was born a couple of months later than you, so I age a couple of months slower."Zachary had to continue socializing and ignored him.Frank led Charlotte to the lounge area to sit for a while.He brought her some of her favorite snacks.Charlotte had a few drinks and then needed to go to the restroom.Frank accompanied her.Suddenly, a flash of white appeared around the corner.He remembered that Annie was wearing a white gown that

At the hospital.After confirming that everything was fine, Zachary immediately went to the airport.Frank glanced at the time. "Leaving overnight?"Zachary nodded, a look of exhaustion between his brows.Frank took Charlotte and left the hospital with him, only to see two cars.He asked, "Is Annie going with you?"Zachary nodded again.Frank was confused. "What kind of game is this?""Let's go."Zachary didn't answer, opened the car door, and bent down to sit inside.After the two cars drove off, Charlotte asked, "Last night, did you interfere too much?"Frank touched his chin. "I shouldn't have...""Shouldn't have what?""Can't I tell who he likes?"The two of them went home to pack and then went to their respective companies.Charlotte noticed that Jane's dark circles under her eyes couldn't even be covered by foundation. She asked, "Did you go clubbing last night?"Jane shook her head. "I couldn't sleep, maybe the jet lag still hasn't passed."Charlotte immediately

"People are really into these things now. I often see them on live streams," said Jane.Dominic poured her a cup of barley tea. "The houses people want aren’t just any ordinary houses."Jane knew buying a house wasn't easy. It had taken her some time to secure her little place.If it weren't for Charlotte helping her out, she probably wouldn't have gotten it so quickly."Don’t worry. If I like what I see this time, when I go back and combine it with our brand, we'll promote it. You’ll be able to make money and buy a house.""That sounds good. I know how influential your brand is."The two of them chatted happily in the private room.In the room next door, however, the atmosphere was cold and tense.Annie, seemingly unaware, picked up some food for Zachary and even peeled an apple for him."I grew up in Nelana. I have lung issues, so I’m not really suited to Jeswood’s weather.""This restaurant has been around for almost 100 years. It’s a Nelana specialty. Try this, the apples

Before Jane finished speaking, she watched as Zachary slowly stood up on his own.But then he suddenly leaned towards her.She quickly held him up.Zachary rested his head on her shoulder, his breath hot and heavy against her neck, so hot it felt alarming."Wait, weren't the people around you supposed to be sticking with you at all times? How did you end up like this, all alone?"She heard the man's voice, weak and faint."Take me back to the hotel..."Jane was really at her wit's end.He didn't even tell her the name of the hotel. How was she supposed to know where to take him?In the end, with no other choice, she reached into his pocket to find his phone.She searched both side pockets of his pants, but there was no phone.He was only wearing a white shirt, no coat.That meant his phone wasn't on him.No wonder he hadn't contacted his subordinates.But that didn't make sense either—his subordinates were supposed to be with him at all times.Before she could figure it

"I had wanted to repay you before, but you refused. Turns out, you were saving it for such a situation. Zachary, is it fun to fool me around?"Zachary lifted his head, and his dark eyes were filled with deep desire.He had been restraining himself, and the veins on his arm were bulging.But this time, he wanted to ask her for a favor."Am I really so unworthy in your eyes?"It wasn’t that he was completely unacceptable, but after all, he had previously forced her against her will."You can’t have lost contact with your subordinates.""Nelana isn’t my turf. There are people here who don’t want me here."As for his business matters, Jane didn’t want to know or analyze anything.She simply said, "Anyway, I’m not suited to help you solve the current problem. If you want, you can get some cold water, and I’ll go buy some medicine for you."The corners of Zachary’s eyes drooped slightly, and he looked almost pitiful."Is it really that hard to help me?"Jane nodded. "I think we’r

The girl asked one question. If she became Zachary's sister and married Caleb, could she finally achieve her dreams without anyone standing in her way?Frank nodded in response.He didn't say much more, and Whitney agreed. Changing her surname didn't matter.As long as she never had to return to the countryside, as long as she could escape those bloodsuckers.As long as, when she finally shone in her career, she wouldn't have to face those people who made advances because of her appearance, or those who used power to suppress her.But what she didn't expect was that after Caleb said those words, her face flushed.Had she finally woken up?This scene was quite entertaining.Caleb was a well-known playboy in Yelar.Even though everyone knew his flirtations were brief and didn't lead anywhere, all the daughters of affluent families and distinguished women in Yelar wanted a taste of being involved with him.Even those not up to the mark tried everything to win his favor.Those f

Expanding the Collins family's business would also be beneficial.If Zachary hadn't gotten married, marrying a girl from the Jackson family wouldn't have been out of the question.Thinking of this, Rebecca became even angrier."Among all these women who could help him, he chose one who can't offer him anything!"Eric quickly tried to calm her down."Enough, he hasn't affected the Collins family in any way. Why can't you tolerate a simple daughter-in-law? Besides, they even gave us a grandson."Mentioning the grandson made Rebecca even more furious, her eyes were burning with anger."They won't even let me see my grandson, insisting that I wait until after the wedding. I might as well not have given birth to him."Eric sighed."Are you sure about that?"Eric thought Zachary had done well in every aspect.Even if he had married Jane, it hadn't affected the Collins family.He had such an outstanding son and now a lovely grandson.In the future, he would nurture the grandson,

Jane's question made Jordan feel her face burn even more. It felt like it was about to catch fire.She stammered, "It was just hot in the room earlier, and, uh, I got excited... you know, sending my sister off to her wedding."Jane didn't believe her. The look on her face clearly showed shyness.Earlier, when she saw her talking closely with Westley, it was obvious they hadn't been saying anything nice.Jordan also felt that Westley, in her impression, had always been dignified, mature, and steady. Even when he was younger and treated her well, he knew his boundaries.But now, his mouth was full of flirtatious words. It was like the person he was before was a completely different personality.The procession of cars made its way through the streets, finally arriving at the largest hotel in Jeswood. Today, this hotel was exclusively hosting Zachary's wedding.Several floors were filled with guests. Even a large number of reporters had arrived.Originally, the love story between Z

Zachary's eyes gleamed with a smile. "At least you still have a bit of conscience."Jordan changed the subject. "How about this? Call me Aunt Jordan three times and I’ll admit you’re very sincere about marrying my sister."Frank, who had secretly returned, leaned against the doorframe and laughed without mercy.He received a cold glare from Zachary.Frank mentally prepared himself and cleared his throat."Aunt..."Westley couldn't help but laugh as well.Jordan turned and gave him a light slap.She looked back at Zachary and smiled. "Zachary, it's fine, I won't make things hard for you. Just go ahead and see if my sister will go with you."Zachary tried but Jane refused to leave with him.She said that she had hid her shoes in the room and would only leave if he found them.Zachary looked everywhere in the room but only found one of them.He guessed where the other one might be, but he didn't dare to let his gaze fall there, not wanting Frank and Westley to see it.Frank,

Frank pushed Westley into the room."You and your wife can remarry, but Zachary has secretly helped a lot, so I think you definitely can't just watch your friend fight alone, right?"Westley ignored him, pulled out a chair beside Jordan, and sat down."Sorry, I'm part of the bride's family.""You grew up wearing the same pants as Zachary. How can you just watch him fight alone?"Jane spoke up, stopping Frank from saying more."You two come have some cookies."She gave Charlotte a meaningful look, who handed a Pocky stick to Frank.Frank cocked his brows. "Honey, you're putting me in a tough spot. What if I kiss him? Wouldn't you think I've dirtied myself?"Zachary retorted coldly, "Don’t you think I feel the same?""Don't waste time," said Charlotte.Frank made a clicking sound with his tongue and held the Pocky stick between his long fingers, not moving for a long time.Zachary reached over, grabbed the Pocky, and bit it, saying vaguely, "Hurry up, don't waste time."Fran

Leanne was also coming to the wedding, and with Buck and the others accompanying her, they could easily match up.But when he landed with Jordan in his arms, no one stopped him.Buck stepped forward to report the situation."Mr. Collins guessed your plans. This is his wedding gift to you. He wants you to remember, be careful during your wedding."Westley smiled and held Jordan as they got into the car and headed to Jane's house.When Jane saw Jordan, she was quite surprised. "Didn't you say you wouldn't make it?"Jordan was still groggy from sleep. "It's all Westley's fault."Jane didn't ask further. "Hurry and change and get your makeup done."Jordan went to wash her face, feeling a bit more awake, and let the makeup artist work on her face.Westley didn't act as the best man, so he stayed here, but not inside the room—he was standing at the front door.When Zachary came up, he was the first person to see him.Frank teased, "Mr. Howard is now part of the bride's family?"W

Jordan clicked her tongue several times and patted his shoulder. "You're really sneaky."Westley wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms. "I'd prefer to hear something sweet from your.""Like?""Like, 'honey'."Jordan realized what he was about to do and quickly tried to run away."Don't even think about it. You tricked me into coming out of town for your friend. I'm going to punish you by not satisfying your desires for a month."Westley didn't take it seriously and effortlessly pulled her back."Weren't you just worried I wouldn't be able to perform? Now that you're fine, aren't you going to try it for yourself to clear your doubts?"Jordan scolded him, "You really can't change, can you? You promised you wouldn't trick me, and now you're starting again."Westley retorted, "How have I tricked you?"Jordan couldn't find a reply and just decided to act spoiled.Westley put on a serious expression and analyzed the situation. "Let me ask you this. Didn't y

She realized something was wrong as she spoke. "Are you doing this on purpose? You're helping your friend."She quickly called Charlotte to ask if she had any plans on the day of the wedding.Charlotte said she didn't, asking what was going on.Jordan thought for a moment and then told Charlotte the truth. "I think he's doing this on purpose. Does he think that, as Jane’s younger sister, I'll be the one who's more difficult to deal with, while you, as his best friend, would be easier?"Charlotte chuckled. "How did you know that, with me, Zachary would have it easy?"However, there was one thing—during her own wedding, Zachary had indeed helped Frank.At the time, Jane had blocked the door, and it was Zachary who had gotten her out.Frank had easily taken her away.Although Frank liked to watch the show, when it came to his friends, he wouldn't hesitate to act.When she had gotten married, there hadn't been so many bridesmaids.Jane was different—Jordan was her biological sist

Westley was indeed struggling.But since he was the one who made a mistake, he felt he should bear the consequences.Jordan, however, wasn't thinking about it that way.Although Westley was holding back, showing some reaction yet not too much.Jordan felt that Westley didn’t look too good.Could it be...This wasn't an easy topic to bring up. She hesitated for a long time but still didn't say anything.Westley watched her face go through a series of expressions and could pretty much guess what she was thinking.He flicked her forehead."Stop overthinking. There's nothing wrong with me—I'm perfectly healthy. Alright, now that you're better, just rest for a few more days, and I'll prove it to you."Jordan immediately pulled the blanket over herself. "Get lost."Westley patted her lightly through the blanket. "The guest bedroom is really cold.""The bed also feels hard, not as comfortable as the master bedroom."Jordan poked her head out of the covers. "But weren't you the on
