Ex-husband’s Regret Chapter 897
"Alright, those two are already having a hard time. Stop watching the show."In a hotel room in Nelana.Jane stepped onto the sofa, trying to snatch her phone back from Zachary’s hand."I’m on the phone with my best friend. It has nothing to do with you! What right do you have to hang up my video call!"Zachary pulled her into his arms, and with a flick of his wrist, her phone landed steadily on the sofa.Jane realized that she was too close to him and could feel the heat from his body.She quickly struggled to break free from his embrace.Zachary tightened his arms around her. "Shall we talk?""I have nothing to talk to you about.""Aren’t you supposed to thank me?"Jane gritted her teeth. "My thanks is dinner. If you want something else, forget it!""Dinner works too."Zachary seemed to compromise, nodding slightly.Jane was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but then her thigh was grabbed, and she was lifted into the air."Zachary!"When she was set down on the bed, s

Jane didn’t answer, but asked, "Did you come to Nelana for work, or...?""For you."The answer to all her questions pointed in one direction.Jane stared at Zachary for a long time before switching to another question."Are you serious about what you said?"Zachary looked at her with serious eyes. "Every word I said to you, I meant it."Then there was nothing more to say.Jane kissed him on the chin and then turned over to sleep.Zachary embraced her from behind, his deep, attractive voice whispering in her ear."What does kissing me mean?""It’s exactly what you think." Jane nudged him with her elbow. "I’m really tired, stop bothering me."That night, the rarely active Zachary updated his social media.There was only one picture.A large hand holding a small one, and on her finger, was a diamond ring.Frank commented, "You two are back together?"Zachary replied, "Yep."Charlie, who hadn’t seen Frank’s comment, learned that the Greyson family was about to marry into th

"Do you have any way to resolve the current dilemma?"Rebecca had none.Neither did anyone else in the Collins family.With this move, Zachary had them cornered.Madam Collins, holding her bracelet, said, "When there’s no way out, sometimes one should just wait. Maybe one day, a solution will come."When Jane woke up, Zachary was not beside her.She grabbed her phone, and a call came in.She initially thought it was Zachary, but it was actually Charlotte."Hey, babe.""Sounds like you're in a good mood."Jane smiled. "I guess."Charlotte mentioned Zachary’s recent social media post, and Jane minimized the call page to take a look.She muttered to Charlotte, "Typical."Charlotte chuckled. "He never posted anything on social media."Jane refreshed the page a few times. "True, this is the only one."Charlotte said, "I’m getting on a plane, I’ve sent you the itinerary. Please, Miss Greenwood, spare some time from your love life to pick me up."Jane was a little confused. "W

She had set an emergency contact and pressed the power button five times in quick succession.But Charlotte was on the plane and couldn’t receive her call.The airport police arrived quickly, but they were blocked outside the cafe by the black-suited bodyguards.Jane couldn’t help but mutter under her breath. “Looks like they have a powerful background.”Taking advantage of the moment, she called Zachary.As soon as the call connected, the bodyguards dispersed.Jane saw a familiar face walking toward her."Jane, please hand Jordan over.""Jane?"On the other end of the line, she heard Zachary calling her name. Jane responded, "I thought it was... It’s Mr. Howard. It’s fine now. Don’t worry."Zachary let out a sigh of relief. "I’ll be right there.""No need, Mr. Howard won’t do anything to me. Aren’t you busy? Don’t cause trouble."Zachary knew exactly what kind of person Westley was.Especially since he couldn’t find his wife right now, he was a man who would cut ties with

"You were supposed to tell me some things I wanted to know, you can’t ask for a reward, understand?""I understand."Zachary seemed to understand, and after saying that, he picked up his coffee and took a sip, showing no intention of speaking further.Jane waited for a while, then realized something was off.She glared at him. "So, no reward means you won’t speak, right?"Zachary curved his lips into a faint smile. "How am I supposed to tell you something that I’m not sure of?"‘Damn it! He’s being pretentious again.’Jane gritted her teeth. "With that kind of mind, you should be serving the people, not using it on me."Zachary murmured, "Are you the people?""Of course, I am.""Are you satisfied with my service? Give me a score of ten if you’re satisfied. I’ll keep working harder."Jane didn’t want to continue talking to him. "This is boring."She stood up to leave, but Zachary grabbed her wrist."Aren’t you curious anymore?""No, I’m not," Jane said through gnashed teet

Zachary's eyes immediately darkened."What's wrong?" Jane asked when she saw the change in his expression.Zachary put away his phone and shook his head. "Let’s get you home first."At that moment, Charlotte's call came through.Jane answered it.As soon as they met, Charlotte asked anxiously, "What happened? Why did you make an emergency call?"Jane took her hand and explained, "Don’t worry. It was a misunderstanding. Zachary has already sorted it out."When they reached the car, Zachary didn’t get in. He instructed Ross to make sure the two of them were safely sent off.Jane let Charlotte get in first, then looked at Zachary without saying anything.Zachary reached out, scratching the space between his eyebrows with his index finger. Finally, he decided to tell her the truth."Luthor Winston has arrived."The name "Luthor Winston" sounded familiar to Jane, but she couldn’t place it right away.However, she had heard of the surname "Winston.""The Winston family?"Zachar

"I still stand by my previous statement. No matter what decision you make, I’ll support you. If you need help or someone to rely on, I’m here for you."Jane took a while to process this. "So, what you're saying is that the Winston family actually wants the Collins family to be the figurehead, and Zachary used that point to create a protective circle around me?"Charlotte nodded.Jane scratched her head. "So, the Winston family is making a move because they’ve seen Zachary’s abilities and are starting to plan and prepare?"Charlotte nodded again.Jane sighed. "What can I do about it?""Just take care of yourself.""What good will that do him?"Charlotte smiled. "Taking of yourself is the most important thing. You have to be vigilant."Jane pouted. "I’m not that foolish."She sighed again. "This is the path I chose and there’s no turning back."Charlotte tilted her head. "This sounds like you want to be with him for the rest of your life.""What else can I do? I can’t shake h

Frank leaned back in his chair, his hand resting behind Charlotte. He said lazily, "We’re a married couple. You two should be more mindful of your public image."Zachary retorted, "Stop showing off."Frank shot back, "Only married people are qualified to talk to me like that.""Enough," Jane and Charlotte spoke simultaneously, "We’re all the same. No one should say anything about anyone."Frank wasn’t someone who would easily keep quiet."Don’t forget, you owe me a favor. Watch your words, or I might ask you to do something. Don’t say I didn’t warn you."He had already gotten ahead of Zachary in terms of love, marriage, and children.And considering Sparrow’s personality, if Zachary had a son and formed a family tie, he’d lose again.At that moment, he honestly had nothing to compare with.Zachary wasn’t pleased and spoke, "Fine."Frank was satisfied. "Tonight, you’re treating. I’ll see what I feel like eating. Oh, maybe something that help you last longer in bed."Charlotte

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."
