Chapter 27

Penulis: Lean
"Do you really want to thank me?" Jack walked to the car, pushed Tom into the back seat, leaned against the car, and looked at me with a smile and lowered eyes.

I nodded. "Of course."

"Then promise me, don't always say 'thank you' to me in the future." This remark had a slightly unusual flavor. Before I could figure out what he meant, he added with a smile, "It makes things too formal."

I chuckled. "Alright, got it."

He got into the car as well and then said, "I'm leaving, you should head back upstairs now."

When I went upstairs, the living room was empty. Ryan wasn't there. I felt my heart sank for a moment. But just for a moment. Leaving silently was his style. It was probably another "urgent matter" from Jessica's side.

Back in the bedroom, I gently patted Jane. "Jane, wake up. I'll help you change into pajamas so you can sleep more comfortably."

"Mm." Jane moaned slightly, and upon seeing me, she reached out to hug me, letting me take off her top. She then murmured, "Charlot

  • Ex-husband’s Regret   Chapter 1798

    Janine wasn't surprised.After hearing from her parents that they had run into his mother, she had already prepared for the possibility that he would find out."People change. Just because I didn't want to before doesn't mean I don't want to now."Zain suppressed his anger, his dark eyes heavy. "How long have you been dating?"Janine said, "Just started. We’ve only been dating for a few days."Zain didn't want to lose his temper in front of her parents.But she always had a way of lighting his fuse."I have something to say to you. Please come with me so we can speak in private."Janine didn't hear anything that sounded like a plea in his tone.She only agreed to go with him because she didn't want to argue in front of her parents.She got into his car.He started the engine right away and drove to his place—The one closest to her home.When the car stopped in the car park, Janine spoke up, "Whatever you want to say, just say it here. I'm not going up to your place right

    "Then the second time—was it deliberate on your part?"Zain nodded.Jane was about to ask another question, but Zachary stuffed her mouth with meat. "Ask later. Right now, aren't you just rubbing salt into the wound?"That was true. Jane apologized.Zain shook his head. "It's fine."He didn't stay until the end of the meal and left early using the excuse of having some urgent matter to attend to.He also didn't linger in Yelar and returned directly to Hesterfield.As for what project Janine was so busy with, he didn't look into it, nor did he ask around.Spring came, then summer passed, and winter returned.They remained busy with their own lives.In the same city, if two people didn't deliberately seek each other out, they might never run into one another.Let alone when they lived in different cities.Another New Year arrived.At the dinner table, Morgana probed Zain’s stance. "Son, you're nearing 30. Don't you think it's time..."Zain would be 27 soon.Other men at 30

    But when she put on a cold face, she was still quite scary.Especially after marrying Lucifer—she had become more and more like him.Janine was even more afraid of Lucifer."I was just joking..." Her tone visibly weakened. "Even if you pressure me, it's useless. I've got nothing to say. I just don't want to date or marry him."Georgina asked, "What's the reason?"Janine said, "I get tired of looking at the same person all the time. If I date and marry him, I can't look at other younger guys anymore.""You really have a problem." Georgina raised her hand and tapped her forehead. "Then why'd you sleep with him?"Janine was rendered speechless.She stared at her wine glass and fell silent.Georgina asked, "Is it because you feel like you've shattered your own beliefs?"Janine looked at her.Georgina felt she had guessed the right answer. "You were all about playing around, swearing you'd never fall in love or get married. But then you slipped up with Zain. So now you're angry.

    "When you slept with him, did you ask?" said Georgina.Janine was rendered speechless.She felt that this was all her fault.Georgina was quite close to Janine. She could say the things others couldn't.And because of that closeness, she understood Janine's personality.Janine was stubborn and strong-willed. No one could change her mind easily.Besides, when it came to love, everyone was different. Georgina wasn't exactly experienced herself, so she didn't say too much.But since there were many people around today, she figured they might as well talk it out thoroughly."You wanted something physical, not emotional. Then when choosing a partner, you should've picked someone on the same page. But you slept with someone serious, and now you're annoyed that he's persistent. This one's really on you."Janine, of course, knew the problem was mostly hers.But things had already come to this point. What else could she do?All she could do was avoid it.Georgina continued, "And bes

    "Then take a seat," said Caleb. "You're here to give my brother money, after all—I can't really just ignore you."Janine looked toward Caleb.Caleb was casually holding Whitney in his arms, looking indifferent, as if none of this had anything to do with him.As if Zain had just shown up by coincidence.‘Yeah, like I’d believe that,’ thought Janine.Zain didn't stand on ceremony.But there was a deliberate arrangement to the seats.The girls had originally sat together to keep Janine company.But Whitney sat on the end, which allowed Caleb to sit right next to her.It was impossible for Lucifer not to sit beside Georgina.So Georgina was seated more toward the edge.Inside the circle, Jane and Charlotte flanked Janine on either side, with Jordan sitting between Jane and Whitney.Zachary, Frank, and Westley were used to this. It was rare to come out and have fun with such a large group, so they let the girls do their thing and sat across from them.Looking at it this way, th

  • Ex-husband’s Regret   Chapter 1793

    Janine had originally planned to go work on the overseas project, but Caleb had assigned someone else to it.For the time being, she had nowhere to go, so she agreed, "Alright."After the wedding, they all went to Yvonne's hot spring resort, which had all kinds of entertainment.Since it was Yvonne's wedding, the resort was given time off.No other guests were accepted, and their group stayed in the largest private room, where they first played a game of "King's Game."Blake and Yvonne didn't come, they just gave the key to Georgina.It was their wedding night.Brody came along to play.He was already on summer break.Once Tanner returned to Nelana, he would go with her too.Gemma was absolutely thrilled.Janine looked at all the couples and said, "How am I supposed to play like this?""Let's just play cards. Otherwise, who am I going to play games with?"Jane said, "Ask Caleb to find someone for you—he knows so many people."Janine didn't dare anymore. Who knew if anothe
