Ex-husband’s Regret

The MS Group was one of the top luxury brands in the clothing industry. It was the company that most designers wanted to go work for.

Jack smiled. "That's right. I just got an offer."

"It's more like you've just accepted the offer." Tom wasn't allowing Jack to lay low. "Before he came back to the country, the MS Group had been in contact with him. He had only just made up his mind recently."

Not just Nancy, even I began to admire Jack. I said with a smile, "Looks like the University of Jelaston will soon put you on the front page of the university newspaper, Jack. You made them proud." Speaking of the university newspaper, Ryan would be on the front page most of the time. He had long graduated, but s a lot of students still looked up to him.

I felt that maybe he was supposed to be a star in the sky and I shouldn't, have tried to keep him for myself.

"So you're deliberately celebrating Jack's enrollment into the MS Group?

asked Jane.

"That's right." Tom nodded. "Let's eat. We have other plans after this as well."

With that said, he then looked at me. "It's a pity that Ryan's not here. Otherwise, you..."

I could tell that Tom didn't want Ryan and me to be divorced.

"Shut your mouth and eat." Jane quickly stuffed some meant into Tom's mouth.

The corner of my lips twitched. "I don't think it's a pity at all."

He had someone that he wanted to be with.

Since we were planning on getting divorced, then it would be normal for

both of us to have our own lives.

Yes it would be perfectly normal.

After dinner, we went downstairs. I was probably in a daze, so I missed a step. It was a good thing that a hand grabbed me and prevented me from falling. Jack's soft voice sounded after I stabilized myself. "Be careful. Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine."

'Just sprained my ankle,' I thought.

What I didn't expect was that the sprain was quite serious. Every step I took would make me gasp in pain.

Jack furrowed his brows. "Does it hurt?"

"It's alright." I smiled and walked down the stairs whilst limping.

Seeing Jane and Tom paying the bill, I said helplessly, "I've sprained my ankle. You guys go on without me. I need to go home."

"Is it serious? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Jane asked with

concern.

"No, it's no big deal." I passed the car keys to her. "I can't drive now, so I'm going to have to leave my car with you."Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"How are you going to get home then? Are you going to get a taxi? I'll give you a lift home."

"How about I give Charlotte a lift?" After saying that, Jack looked at the time and said helplessly, "I have an online meeting tonight, so I probably won't be able to go with you guys either." "That's great." Tom was obviously very happy after hearing those words. He grabbed Jane and left. "I'll leave Charlotte with you then."

Jane struggled but to no avail. She gestured for me to call her if I

„ded anything.

Trodded with a smile. "Okay."

There were no railings so Jack held my arm and walked me to the car.

He then sald with concern, "I think we should go to the hospital. A

sprain can be serious."

"How serious can it be?" I chuckled. "I'll be fine after a night's rest."

"Then wait for me in the car.'

With that said, Jack turned and walked off.

A short while later, he came back with a bag in his hand. He walked around the front of the car and passed the bag to me.

He looked at me and said helplessly, "At least apply some medicine on your ankle if you don't want to go to the hospital." "Thank you."

"What did we agree on a couple of days ago?" he interrupted me with a teasing smile on his face. "Oh..." I remembered what he was talking about and let out a sly smile. Well... thanks, Jack."

"You're unbelievable." He shook his head with a helpless smile.

He didn't carry on the conversation and began driving.

It was the evening. The neon lights were shining and cars were roaming the streets, so we could only drive slowly.

Old fashioned music was being played in the car and it hooked up some of my past memories.

"Charlotte, are you feeling sick?"

On the way back, Jack's soft voice sounded all of a sudden.

I was a little taken aback. "What makes you think that?"

"I saw you almost throwing up when we were having dinner."
