Ex-husband’s Regret

"I'm no match for you in a fight," Michael said angrily. "But you're bullying Jane, so I'll definitely find a way to help her. The only thing I can do is to call Charlotte." Zachary wanted to say something, but Jane interrupted him. "Zachary, please leave my house."

Zachary stepped in front of her, trying to hold her hand, but she avoided him.

"Jane..."

He opened his mouth to apologize, but Jane interrupted again. "Zachary, lowering yourself too much will only make you repulsive."

"I actually have something important to discuss with you." Frank pulled Zachary out.

Zachary shrugged him off, and Frank clicked his tongue. "What's with you? Don't need my help anymore? You begged me before, now you're throwing a fit.' Zachary lit a cigarette, his tone indifferent. "You didn't help me either."

Frank laughed in frustration. "I didn't help? Do you have any conscience? I've been

working day and night for you, and you call that no help?"

Smoke curled from Zachary's lips, obscuring his dark, brooding expression.

He remained silent, standing in the stairwell, smoking quietly.

Frank leaned against the wall, arms crossed, observing him. "What's the deal, Mr. Collins?"

Zachary still didn't respond, taking a deep drag from his cigarette and opting to take the stairs down instead of the elevator.

Frank opened the stairwell door to let Roy chase after him while he sent a WhatsApp message to Charlotte and took the elevator down.

When he reached the car park, Zachary's car was still there. He checked the time and leaned against the car to wait.

Zachary emerged from the stairwell, unlocking his car.

Seeing Frank, he remarked, "You came up with quite the troublesome idea."

If it weren't for the mess Zachary was in, Frank would have wanted to swear at him.

"At least I had an idea. You're so capable, why can't you figure out a solution? Besides, I'm just giving a suggestion. Whether you get married is up to you, you could also wait a month for a paternity test. But you didn't want to wait. You wanted a result sooner." Zachary stood by the car, hesitating to open the door.

Frank had already opened the passenger door, resting his arms on it, looking lazy. Suddenly, Zachary lifted his leg and kicked the car tire, cursing under his breath. Frank cocked his brows.

He had known Zachary for a long time but had rarely seen him act so recklessly. Considering the situation with Nina, his family had pressured him quite a lot.

Even if he was frustrated, he hadn't acted like this before.

"Want to grab a drink?"

Michael quietly went to the kitchen to cook.

Jane and Charlotte were whispering in the bedroom.

"Is the breakup serious?" asked Charlotte.

Jane lay on the bed with a pillow under her stomach.

Hearing this, she shook her head.

"Two reasons. First, if I don't break up, Zachary will definitely be concerned about me, and Nina will remain on high alert. Second, I want to see how important he is to me."Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Charlotte sat on the carpet, leaning on the bed, smiling at her. "You previously thought about marriage knowing his family's situation. Why now do you want to see how important he is? Did the conversation with Madam Collins scare you?" Jane sighed. "I shouldn't be considering important matters at this time, my emotions are too unstable."

Charlotte didn't press further. Even the best of friends shouldn't meddle in emotional matters, it could only complicate things more.

She asked, "What's going on with Michael?"

Jane replied, "I think he has something to say to me. Last time he took me to the hospital,

it seemed coincidental, but why did he suddenly call me? I severed ties with him in Heliafield."

"Is he trying to apologize?" Charlotte speculated. "It seems he still likes you."
