Ex-husband’s Regret

"I'm set as your emergency contact on your phone. If there's something, you don't need to scroll through your contacts, just press the power button five times to call me."

"I know, you've already told me about it before Jane felt Frank's jealousy. "Let's head back. Let me know when you're home."

Charlotte nodded.

Once in the car, Frank held her and said softly in her ear, "You didn't set me as your emergency contact. You're my emergency contact."

Charlotte felt that this man was so powerful outside and everyone feared him.

Yet in front of her, he acted like a poor little puppy.

It was quite amusing.

"Mr. Smith is so powerful. Is there anything that needs me to solve?"

"There is." Frank nipped at the soft flesh of her neck. "Like right now."

He placed her hand on his belt.

Charlotte was rendered speechless.

Jane finished washing up and lay down to sleep.

However, she rolled over countless times and couldn't fall asleep.

She wondered if she had napped too long in the afternoon, making her not sleepy at night.

Deciding to take action, she picked up her phone and started watching a film.

Just as the film began, she received a WhatsApp message from Charlie.

It was a picture.

Under the dim streetlight, a man sat on a roadside barrier, looking up at the night sky.

His jawline was sharp, and his profile was distinctly outlined.

Behind him was the road, with cars parked one after another.

The person who took the photo didn't choose any particular angle, the composition was casual.

The shot was somewhat blurry but had a cinematic quality.

She could sense Zachary's dejection and a faint trace of alcohol.

After a few seconds, she replied to Charlie with a question mark.

Charlie felt that typing couldn't express his emotions.

Making an excuse to go to the bathroom, he found a place and sent a voice message.

"Don't play dumb with me, Miss Greenwood! I already know! You're dating Zachary, and you didn't even tell me! I thought you rejected me because you liked that younger guy. Turns out, you and Zachary were secretly dating!' Jane sent another question mark back.

Charlie responded, "I know you broke up! How can you break up if you weren't together? When did you even get together? We haven't known each other for long. How could you break up so quickly?" Jane didn't want to discuss this.

She and Zachary were still in the passionate phase of their relationship.

If there were conflicts, one was Nina, and the other was the opposition from the Collins family.

Nina would eventually be resolved, but the Collins family's opposition seemed insurmountable.

She also wanted to take this opportunity to test things and see if it could lead to a complete separation.

She felt she didn't have the courage to go against the world with Zachary.

Even without Nina, there would be others just like her.

She couldn't keep waiting for Zachary to deal with everything slowly.

She couldn't really let Zachary deal with everything by marrying someone.

In the end, she still cared about finding a solution.

Even if Zachary had his own difficulties.

But seeing the photo and mentioning the relationship still made her heart ache.

So, she didn't want to talk much.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Mr. Lennox, I'm not feeling well. Let's talk in detail when I feel better. I'm going to sleep.

Charlie had many things he wanted to say.

But thinking it over, what was the use of saying them?

Things had already progressed to this point.

He put away his phone and went to look for Zachary, but he was nowhere to be found.

Roy thought that Zachary was heading back to his own place.

Unexpectedly, he ended up in Jane's neighborhood.

The car didn't go into the underground car park but stopped under Jane's building.

Zachary got out of the car, leaned against it, and looked up at Jane's home, standing there for a long time under the night sky.

He only got back in the car after the lights were turned off.

When Zachary returned home, he found that the living room light was still on.
