Lahat ng Kabanata ng Ex-husband’s Regret: Kabanata 661 - Kabanata 670

"No need for 'buts.'" Frank patted my head. "A favor is a favor. He helped us, and I'll remember this debt of gratitude, but it can't serve as a shield for him hurting your friend."I didn't have an opinion about Zachary that was this extreme. I just wanted to know what he really meant for Jane. He had been so cold before, speaking harshly, why was he suddenly playing this childish game now? "Why can't he just say it directly?" Frank opened his phone and showed me a picture. "108 Ways to Pursue a Girl" I tugged at the corner of my mouth. "What is this?" Frank raised his chin slightly. "It means just what it says." I put down the phone, thinking a bit. "Does he want to pursue Jane?" "That's one way to understand it." I felt a bit speechless. "But can't he just state his intentions first before taking action? Feigning illness really isn't charming at all." Frank put some food on my plate. "Eat first, you need energy to get angry." I chewed the food hard, incredul

As I stepped out the door, I saw Jane's car. "I'm sorry to keep you waiting." I smiled as I got in. Jane started the engine, her smile ambiguous. "No problem." I buckled my seatbelt, feeling a bit shy about the topic, especially since it involved me. I changed the subject and asked, "Tell me honestly, have you really given up on Zachary?" Jane raised her hand in a vow. "I couldn't be more serious, I'm more genuine than pearls." There were some things I decided not to say. Once I figured out what Zachary really meant, I could address it then. Zachary had waited at the Half-Mount Teahouse all day. But he didn't see Jane. Earl Grey tea was supposed to cool him down, but it only made him more agitated. If he had known, he might as well have gone to a bar. But he felt a bar wasn't a proper place for serious conversations. Now, he found himself in a bit of a mess. "Drinking tea alone?" Just hearing that lazy, irritating voice, Zachary knew who

Now they had even bought the place next door, were they planning to build a playground? But my focus wasn’t on that. What struck me was my mom saying she wanted to move out to give Frank and me space. I had noticed her strange expression when I left today. But I was in a rush and didn't think to ask more. Now, it felt even more awkward to bring it up. Jane helped me out, saying, "It really is important to have your own space, no matter the relationship. I think it's crucial. Buying the place next door is perfect. I can come play with the kid, and if it gets late, I can just stay over. Plus, I can chat with Ms. Jackson about gossip—sounds great!" My mom laughed. "Those gossips won't fill your stomach, I don't understand why you like hearing them." Jane cocked her brows. "It's entertaining." My mom shook her head affectionately. "Fine, during dinner tonight, I'll tell you a couple of stories for some entertainment." Jane stepped back and whispered to me, "Do

Not far away was Zachary… and the rumored first love. I couldn't help but frown, "Alana, can you keep Jane company for a bit? I need to..." Alana gave me an OK gesture and went to find Jane. She even blocked Jane's line of sight. I quickly went to find Frank. Frank had already seen and walked towards Zachary. "What a good brother I have," he said sarcastically. "On my family's big day, you're here to ruin the fun." Zachary hadn't spoken yet when Charlie chimed in, "No, how is it ruining the fun? There are no other ex-girlfriends of Zachary here." Zachary shot him a sidelong glance. "Shut up." Charlie looked quite aggrieved, "I was speaking up for you." Zachary couldn't be bothered to respond to him and looked at Frank, his gaze actually crossing over him to Jane. Frank stepped aside, completely blocking his view. Zachary knew what Frank meant by a big day. It wasn't just the birthday party, it was also the day for his proposal. He said, "I won't r

I could play a bit, but it had been a while, so my fingers feel rusty. "Are you going to lead me?" Frank looked at me with deep affection. "Okay." I was still a bit confused, just following his rhythm. I didn’t know how it happened, but Frank suddenly stopped, and I got distracted, hitting a wrong note. As soon as that note sounded, I didn't even have time to apologize. Suddenly, fireworks erupted around the stage, filling the sky with stars. Frank knelt in front of me, holding up a ring. "Charlotte, even though you've already proposed to me, I still want to formally ask you to marry me. After all, some things are meant to be done by the guy." "Thank you for falling in love with me again, for accompanying me through all difficulties, and for working hard to give birth to our daughter." "So, please, let me take care of you for the rest of your life." "Charlotte, will you marry me?" Getting married was already a done deal. I had originally planned to c
