บททั้งหมดของ My Billionaire Ex-husband's Greatest Regret : บทที่ 161 - บทที่ 170

Chapter 162Tessa Ford ~•~After dropping the kids off at school, I went straight to my office. I had a lot to work on, but the entire time I was distracted. I kept looking at my phone, I was hoping I would get a text from Zane. Or even from Grayson. It felt like I was about to lose my mind. But still, I forced myself to work on the dresses that I had to deliver to clients in a few days. After about three hours, I took a break. I had a quick snack and also tried calling Zane for the umpteenth time. I rolled my eyes when the call went straight to voicemail. What was I even expecting? Why did I think it would be different? Frustrated, I tossed my phone on the desk and grabbed a bottle of water. Just as I was about to open the bottle cap, my phone rang. I dropped the bottle quickly and reached for my phone. I thought it was Zane who was finally calling back but I was wrong. “Hey,” I whispered as the call connected. “I wanted to wait for you to cool down before reaching out to

Chapter 164Tessa Ford ~•~As I pulled into Zane’s driveway, I groaned and dropped my head against the steering wheel. What was I doing? What kind of woman had I become? Showing up at his office just because he refused to answer my calls or texts felt reckless.But I couldn’t stop myself. His silence was killing me. I stepped out of the car and made my way to the building. The receptionist asked me to wait in the lobby after I told her I wanted to see Zane. I was happy that he was at work. A few minutes later, she called me back and told me that Zane was swamped and wouldn’t be able to see me. My stomach dropped. He really didn’t want to talk to me. I knew he wasn’t swamped, it was just an excuse to make me leave. But I wasn’t leaving until I spoke to him. I didn’t drive all the way down to his company just to be ignored. “Please, can you tell him that it’s really important?” I begged, my voice almost cracked. She let out a deep sigh. “I don’t think it’s going to change an

Chapter 166Tessa Ford ~•~“What do you want to talk about? I’m in the middle of something,” I asked Grayson as I applied foundation on my face. I was getting ready for dinner with Zane, and I didn’t need any distractions. “The nightclub. We have an official opening now, and I wanted to ask if you would want to attend.” My heart leaped for joy. “Are you serious?” I asked as if I didn’t hear him correctly the first time. “Yes. It feels so surreal because it took so much time. At some point, I even thought about giving up on it.” “I’m glad you didn’t,” I replied with a smile on my face. Ever since I advised Grayson not to listen to Vito when he threatened to report him to the authorities, I’d been scared. Vito was really upset when Grayson refused to give in to his impromptu demands. What if he had made things worse for Grayson? The fear had sat at the back of my mind for days. I felt like there was a bomb that was waiting to explode. But I felt relieved knowing that the compa

Chapter 168Tessa Ford ~•~I knew that if I didn’t agree to be Zane’s girlfriend and commit to him soon, I would still be having those thoughts about Grayson. It wasn’t like I was using Zane to get over Grayson. I was already over Grayson. I just wanted to suppress those feelings that were about to resurface before they got the chance to. When Zane asked me out, I was taken aback because I wasn’t expecting him to do something like that since we’d just had a big fight. I said yes before I could overthink it. He’d been around for a while and there was no use stalling anymore. And I didn’t want to hurt him by rejecting him. “Tessa, what’s on your mind?” Zane’s calm voice dragged me out of my thoughts. It was then that I realized that I had zoned out of the conversation. I brushed my hair backward. “Nothing. Nothing,” I replied, lifting my gaze to meet his eyes. Zane had a satisfied expression on his face. “Are you sure?” He asked, his voice barely above a whisper. I nodded witho

Chapter 170Tessa Ford ~•~“Tessa, no,” Nora breathed. “Don’t just say he should go to hell. You deserve an explanation at least. He owes you answers.” I wanted answers. I also wanted to know the reason why he would do something like that to me. But I was angry. He hadn’t even bothered to reach out to me either. For all I know, he could be cuddled up with the lady on their bed. Hopefully, it wasn’t the same bed I’d spent the night on. The thought of everything made me burn with rage. Why did he think he could play with me like that? I didn’t even want to see or talk to him. I knew things would get ugly if we spoke while I was still so upset. “You have no idea how I feel, Nora,” I continued, my voice filled with frustration. “I’m sure he was spending time with her when he claimed that he needed space from me. Why was I too stupid? Why didn’t I figure everything out?” “You’re not stupid, Tessa,” Nora replied, trying to comfort me. “It’s not your fault that someone else is an assh
