Chapter 1010

Author: Lean
Charlotte couldn’t help but sigh. “Can things really balance out like that? With the current situation, Mrs. Collins will inevitably use her health problems to threaten them into breaking up. If Zachary cuts ties with his family for Jane, it’ll only make her feel worse.”

Frank lifted her face again. “Let me see if you’ve gotten wrinkles yet.”

Charlotte pushed him away. “When will you ever stop joking around?”

Frank chuckled. “Is cheering you up a crime now?”

“It depends on the timing.”

“No matter the timing, my wife’s happiness is always the most important.”

Charlotte was helpless against Frank.

Frank raised his hand and lightly tapped her cheek with the back of it.

“Let Zachary handle his family’s affairs. Even if you keep worrying, you won’t be able to solve anything.”

Hearing his words, Charlotte suddenly felt a bit clearer.

“You and Zachary have a plan, don’t you?”

Frank looked at her brightened eyes, and a laugh spilled from his chest.

With a cryptic tone, he said, “Gu

  • Ex-husband’s Regret   Chapter 1506

    Mr. Wilfred and his people weren't scared at all.Hearing Whitney say that, they even took out their phones, "Go ahead and call the police. Do it."Whitney was a bit anxious.She had forgotten about the "unity" here. Although Dianne was a member of the Hilton family, they were still outsiders.Moreover, they hadn't done anything excessive, and calling the police would mainly be for mediation.They were still going to be detained here.The locals always had the home advantage, and that wasn't in their favor."Bid..."She was about to speak when Dianne grabbed her hand.She immediately shut up.Dianne smiled at everyone. "Have you thought about the consequences?"Mr. Wilfred's face darkened. "What consequences will we be afraid of if you cause us to have nothing to lose? You may be someone we can't afford to offend because you're from the Hilton family, but when we can't even get food, whether we starve to death or die in another way, it's all the same."Dianne replied, "I un

    The project in the development zone had originally been kept away from the Hilton family to avoid any suspicion.After all, it wasn't a very big project, and the Hilton family didn't need it.But for the local medium-sized businesses, it was very important.Because it was still a project in cooperation with the government."Yes, of course. A fair competition." Mr. Wilfred gave everyone a meaningful look. "Please have a taste of these. These are our local specialties, but they can't compare to Yelar's."Dianne replied, "It's quite good."Mr. Wilfred glanced at Whitney and said to Dianne, "Your assistant seems like someone from our area. She seems to be used to the taste of local specialties. It's rare for someone from out of town to be able to do that."Dianne laughed. "Not necessarily, maybe she just likes the taste. Yelar also has food from Galarwood."Mr. Wilfred smiled apologetically. "Yes, you have a point."Whitney hardly spoke. When someone offered her a drink, she would

    Whitney had almost finished eating, but he still hadn't moved.From the look of it, he was angry.She hadn't planned to care, thinking that if he was hungry, he would eat.She pursed her lips and said, "It's really wasteful. If you had said you weren't eating, I wouldn't have ordered it. Or, do you not like this and can't get used to it?"‘Alright. Fine.’Caleb picked up the cutlery and quickly finished the food.Then, without looking back, he walked away.The chair made a loud noise as he dragged it, indicating that he was really angry.Whitney got up to pay the bill. When she walked outside, she saw him smoking on the side.She knew he smoked, but she hadn't seen him smoke in front of her much.If he wanted to smoke, she couldn't stop him."Aunt Dianne asked me to head back. I have work to do," she said, and was about to hail a cab when he grabbed her wrist.Caleb pushed her into his car.The son of an affluent was different—no matter where he went, he always had his own

    Whitney opened her eyes and tried to get up, but he had his legs wrapped around hers, pinning her down so she couldn't move."Have some oat porridge. It'll warm your stomach and help you sleep."Galarwood wasn't particularly hot—even in summer, the temperature hovered around 20 degrees Celsius.In winter, it was damp and cold.He was allergic and couldn't be exposed to air conditioning for long.So she had someone buy hot oat porridge.But Caleb didn't move.Whitney didn't push him.There was also something she felt.Even Dianne had gotten hungry after eating the steak last night. For someone as big as him, having stayed up this late, he ought to eat something.If he didn't appreciate it, she had no reason to say anything else."Make sure the bodyguard gets reimbursed for this. Or I'll transfer the money to him myself."Caleb sat up.In silence, he took the oat porridge and started drinking.Whitney stepped around to watch. He drank it rather quickly."Do you like the ta

  • Ex-husband’s Regret   Chapter 1502

    Whitney wasn't very sleepy—after all, she had just been about to eat a late-night snack.Seeing that his didn't look so good, and knowing how torturous allergies could be, she didn't say much.But when he told her to sleep, she couldn't fall asleep—she only closed her eyes to rest.Caleb watched her for a while, then closed his own eyes.In the quiet room, with Whitney leaning against him, she could hear his strong and steady heartbeat.Even her own heartbeat seemed to sync with his rhythm.To be honest—Caleb was definitely someone who could make a person's heart flutter.After marrying him, she had heard about some of his past stories.There were even girls who asked for nothing—just wanting to date him for a single day.Some had even been willing to risk their lives for him.You could say it was quite the spectacle.Whitney had emotions like anyone else.But she was more clear-headed.Caleb was someone she simply couldn't bring herself to love.If not for being bound by

    Wasn't that the same as giving him no chance at all?Caleb wasn't very happy anymore.Whitney saw his hand start to move and held down the one with the IV drip."Don't move."Caleb gave in.So what if he looked pitiful?"You can sleep on the bed. I'll keep an eye on the IV myself."Whitney shook her head. "It's fine. I'll wait until your drip is done."He knew she rarely stayed up late—unless he had insisted on it."Then I'll have someone take you back. It's not a big deal. No need for you to stay here with me. I can still move."Whitney felt that he had changed.Last time he pretended to have alcohol poisoning just to make her take care of him. This time he was actually sick, yet he wouldn't let her stay."If you're not going back, then let's talk about it—about the fact that I like you."Whitney didn't really want to talk about it. She knew he only said that to make her leave."Alright then, let's talk."This trip to Galarwood was about facing the past.Since running

    "As long as there’s enough profit, there are no good people."Of course, Dianne already knew that.After all, she had lived to this age.If she hadn't been born into the Hilton family, she might have seen the ugliest sides of human nature.As for Whitney, it seemed she had already seen too much—that's why she said something like that.Her original intention was to help Whitney face the past, but now she just felt sorry for her."If you feel uncomfortable, you can let Caleb take you back."Whitney didn't know how the topic had suddenly shifted to Caleb.She quickly said, "I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me. This place... is very far."Dianne didn't explain that the development zone plan wasn't only in the outskirts.Later on, this development zone would also be connected to the "home" Whitney once had.It was part of a poverty alleviation project.Caleb couldn't sleep.As soon as he lay down, his whole body itched.Even taking a shower didn't help.In the end, he

    "Just the two of you came?"Dianne said, "And it’s still leaked."Caleb asked, "Want to come to my place?"Dianne gave him a sideways glance.Across from them, Whitney listened but didn't comment.After all, she had to follow her superior's lead.Under the table, Caleb kicked her.Whitney ended up choking. "Cough, cough!"Caleb handed her a glass of water.Dianne rubbed her forehead helplessly.She hadn't thought his EQ was lacking when he was younger.This kid had always been known for having both high IQ and EQ—and being a little wicked.It seemed Whitney really was his one and only, no doubt about it—his true love."We're not going to your place. I'm afraid we'll get reported."Caleb gave a short reply, "Alright, I'll stay at your place then.""You sure? It's not a comfortable stay where we are. If you can stay there, I can too."Dianne said, "I'm not like you. At least I grew up rough and self-reliant. You were pampered since childhood. You even get rashes from slig

    Her reaction had been within Caleb's expectations.He couldn't help but hold her hand and said gently, "If you don't want to go, I'll talk to Aunt Dianne."Whitney looked at their hands together, and after a moment, still pulled hers back."It's fine. This is my job."Caleb had always known that she didn't like him interfering too much in her work.Last time, he had deliberately taken her on leave to the islands, and although she wasn't happy, she hadn't lost her temper with him.Deep down, she still felt inferior compared to him. No matter how much she wanted to lash out at him, she held it in.But he wanted her to feel equal to him.He wanted her to express her anger.Only then could he guide her forward."Not all work has to be done. If it makes you unhappy, why do it? You don't need to force yourself anymore. You don't have to suffer."Whitney was in a terrible mood at that moment.Caleb confessing his feelings had already caused enough chaos.Now there was also the tr
