Ex-husband’s Regret

"Zachary."

Nina saw me and smiled gently. "Charlotte, we meet again."

She was a bit younger than me, but it felt a little weird for her to be a first name basis since we had only

met once.

I wondered where she got the idea from?

Since we were both smiling, I could only respond politely, "Hello."

Just as Nina was about to say something to me, Jane pulled me away.

"There are other matters to attend to, don't waste time here."

I nodded at Zachary as Jane led me away.

Michael's big, bright eyes were full of innocent curiosity. "Charlotte, was that your friend just now?"

Before I could respond, Jane wrapped her arm around his neck, saying, "Why are you so curious about unimportant people? No need to know so much."

Michael obediently nodded. "I'll listen to you. If you say I shouldn't know so much, then I won't."

I felt a bit irritated.

I felt like my head was going to explode.

Michael and Zachary were completely different types.

Though Jane's preferences can be unpredictable, they wouldn't vary this much.

Perhaps the grudge in her heart was still bothering her.

Zachary stayed put, only retracting his gaze when he could no longer see Jane.

"Zachary, you don't look so good. Have you not recovered after falling ill? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Nina asked with concern, her soft tone seeming to soothe all bad emotions. But it didn't soothe Zachary.

Thinking of how Jane had draped her arm around that guy's neck and how intimate they looked, he felt suffocated.

He loosened his tie, his throat itched as he clenched his fist against his lips, but he couldn't hold back and coughed a couple of times.

Nina quickly handed him water. "Zachary, have some water."

Zachary waved his hand. "Have the driver take you home, I have things to do."

Nina didn't show any emotion and continued softly, "If you really feel unwell, don't force yourself. Make sure to go to the hospital. If you need me to take care of you, just call me, I'm free anytime." Zachary waved his hand and walked away quickly.

Nina held her cup tightly, her fingertips turning white.

Silent words ground out between her teeth. "Jane!"

After wandering around with Jane, she ended up buying a lot for Sparrow.

I couldn't stop her and could only sigh in resignation.

Jane put her arm around my shoulders. "Don't be jealous, I still love you the most."

"Give me a break." I pushed her away and advised, "Children will grow very quickly. They're not set in stone now. If you buy these, they might not fit in a few days."

"As long as they're worn," said Jane. "What matters is the experience, our Sparrow has to look beautiful every minute."

I really couldn't argue with her, so I pulled her away. "I can't stay out too long, I have important matters to attend to."

"Okay, okay." Jane paid at the register, and Michael kindly and gentlemanly took all the bags.

I wanted to help with a few, but he wouldn't let me.

"Let me handle this kind of physical work, it's good exercise. You know for us actors, managing our physiques is a very important thing."

I was about to speak when Jane said, "The reason I brought him along, aside from Jason, was to help carry the bags."

After saying this, she turned and winked at Michael. "Later, I'll treat you to a big meal to make up for it." Michael smiled brightly. "Thank you, Jane."All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
