All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Regret: My ex husband wants me: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

KIMBERLY~•~Jackson looked shocked and I didn’t know what to translate his expression as. Was he shocked that his sister sent me an audio message of the words he said? Was he shocked that he was recorded while saying them?He finally handed me back my phone and I put it in my clutch without saying anything. He sighed, his hand rubbing down his face as he tried to put words together.I didn’t know what to make of that either. Was he trying to find an excuse?“I know this looks bad.” Jackson finally said. I arched an eyebrow. “It sounds bad but I promise, it’s not what it looks like.”I scoffed. Of course, the famous line men used when they were caught doing something they claimed not to be doing. I didn’t understand why he was pursuing me if he still wanted Paige. If he could still talk about Paige like this in a good light after she kidnapped our daughter, then that only meant one thing, no? “Not what it looks like?” I asked. “Did you or did you not say those words?”He thought I was

GEORGE~•~On a Sunday night, I was working my ass off in the office because after a month and a few weeks, I still wasn’t completely over Kimberly but there she was flaunting her relationship with Jackson in my face.Technically, she wasn’t flaunting it in my face but kissing him in a public setting, knowing damn well she’d be recorded meant the same thing, did it not? No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t take my eyes off the scene where they were looking into each other’s eyes as though they had been in love for years. Maybe they had been in love for years. I was just stupid to think that I ever had a chance with her.What irritated me the most was how many times she had assured me she was never going back to Jackson yet only a month after she left, she was back with him. I felt stupid as fuck. I felt very angry and I didn’t know what to do with the amount of anger running through my veins.My fists automatically clenched tightly as he kissed her and the organizer of their stupid

JACKSON ~•~ I hated that Paige wasn’t currently behind bars but there was nothing I could do at the moment. Kimberly was going through several emotions at once and I knew damn well rage was at the forefront. She felt she couldn’t defend her daughter and I hated that Paige made her feel that way. Paige was smarter than I thought for bringing in George, knowing his history with Kimberly. She knew it was going to shake Kim up and it worked. Her flights were just to get the cop’s attention. This was her main plan. As for George, I didn’t know why he was colluding with a criminal but that wasn’t going to do good for his reputation as a lawyer. He probably held grudges against me and Kimberly and I couldn’t blame him for that, but defending the woman who kidnapped Amelia was going too far. The past few days, Kimberly had been busier than ever. She was trying to get a warrant for Paige’s arrest and she warned me not to interfere. It was taking a long while because her business did

GEORGE~•~I couldn’t stand the fact that my presence didn’t bother Kimberly much. I had said that I wasn’t petty but I hated that she was living quite well without any sense of urgency. I wanted to go back to California but Paige told me that Jackson wasn’t going to let the case die down like that. He had a lot of connections so I was surprised it was taking this long, which in turn irritated me because instead of defending their daughter, they were busy playing the perfect family of four.I wasn’t the only one that was annoyed.Paige hated that her son, Asher, was comfortable around Kimberly. The previous day, they had gone to an amusement park and for reasons unknown to me, reporters thought it was the cutest thing. I felt sick watching Kimberly stare at Jackson with love in her eyes. She never looked at me that way. She never cared that I pined over her for five years. Maybe I should have gotten the hint when she told me that she wasn’t ready for a relationship four years ago. I c

JACKSON~•~I wasn’t very comfortable with Kimberly meeting George. It was obvious he didn’t have any good intentions towards her. If he did, he wouldn’t have fired her from the only job she’d ever gotten in her life.However, I knew she didn’t like him so that wouldn’t be a problem. I just hoped it wasn’t another plot of Paige’s. Besides, she and George were working together now.As instructed, I waited over at the cafe opposite the bar. I ordered a cup of coffee and watched the building across as though I could see anything.I looked at my watch on my wrist and sighed when I saw that it had only been five minutes since she went in. How was I supposed to survive over here for another fifty-five minutes? I should have insisted on following her inside.Bored already, I brought out my phone from my pocket to see if I had any emails to respond to. Before I could even unlock the phone, I saw a shadow fall over me.I didn’t bother to look up and the uninvited guest sat down on the chair be
