Lahat ng Kabanata ng Ex-husband’s Regret: Kabanata 1791 - Kabanata 1800

"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

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.

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

Zain arrived at the hospital at almost the same time as his father.It was the first time Noah had ever hit Zain.Janine stood to the side, heart pounding in fear.She tried to step in. "Zain, there's no need to do this for me—""Shut up."Zain looked at his father, tension crackling between them. It was for the first time as well. "You can hit me, but unless you kill me, I'm still going to marry her."Noah had acted on impulse, and after the blow landed, he only felt his heart ache.Once he calmed down, he no longer had the strength to strike again.Janine felt unbearably awkward being there.She quietly inched to the side, trying to sneak away—But Zain pulled her right back.She couldn't help but say, "Have you even considered my position in all this?""Zain, you're not a kid anymore. You can't just act based on what makes you happy."Zain looked her in the eye and asked, "You can date someone else, so why can't you date me? It's not like you don't like me."Janine wan

Since that accident, Janine had been quite concerned about her body.Whenever she sensed something was wrong, she immediately went to the hospital for a checkup.In Hesterfield, it was naturally impossible to hide from Zain.Moreover, Zain had been closely watching her every move."Is there something wrong?"Janine ignored him, planning to leave after the blood draw and come back once the report was ready.But Zain didn't let her leave and ordered that he wanted the results as soon as possible."Has your period not come?" Zain suddenly asked.Janine still said nothing.The assistant brought the report, and Zain took her into the gynecology director's office."Congratulations to both of you," the gynecologist said. "You are going to be parents."Janine showed little expression, as if she had already guessed.Zain was stunned for several seconds before reacting, then he heard her ask the doctor, "When can I have an abortion?"He pursed his lips.The gynecologist noticed the
