Ex-husband’s Regret

705

Frank showed no surprise at all.

Just a few minutes earlier, Charlie had sent a picture in the group chat.

Nina was injured and hospitalized, and Zachary was by her side, their hands clasped together.

Charlie, who was at the hospital, didn't forget to tag Frank. "What a pity, so close. If this happened earlier, you wouldn't have won the bet so easily."

His mind was so dull that even a pig would shake its head in disbelief.

Frank couldn't be bothered to reply but sent a private message to Zachary instead.

That message from his wife was meant for this, as a devoted husband, how could he not cooperate?

When Zachary's phone vibrated, he thought it was a group message.

Seeing Charlie unresponsive, he took it out to check.

It was a message from Frank. "You haven't even managed to smooth things over? My wife just told me that Jane will be bringing Michael with us on our honeymoon. She also said if things go well with Michael, they might even get married." The word "married" instantly pierced Zachary's eyes.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Charlie sensed the chill and thought it was directed at him, so he quietly slipped away.

Nina noticed something was off and called out to him.

But unexpectedly, he shook off her hand.

"Zachary, where are you going?"

Zachary didn't respond, he walked to the end of the corridor and called Frank.

The first thing he said when the call connected was, "What do you mean?"

Frank chuckled. "Are you asking me?"

Zachary pressed his fingers to his forehead. "You're taking so many people on your honeymoon, what kind of honeymoon is that?"

Frank replied nonchalantly, "The world doesn't only consist of you and Charlotte. Even if Jane and Michael weren't coming, there would still be other couples."

"They're not a couple."

"What's the point of telling me that?"

After a moment of silence, Zachary asked, "When are you guys leaving?"

Frank smirked, leisurely replying, "Next Wednesday."

With so many people traveling, including kids, Frank arranged for a private plane.

When I arrived at the airport and saw Zachary and Nina, I wasn't overly surprised.

After all, I had spread the news.

"Charlotte."

Nina greeted me first, and I politely responded, "Hello."

Then I asked, "I heard from Frank that you were hospitalized a few days ago?"

Nina wore a perfect smile and replied gently, "Thank you for your concern. I just fell while taking a shower. Luckily, it was at Zachary's place, otherwise, I really wouldn't have known what to do on my own."

Oh, so she had taken a shower at Zachary's place.

Well, that was impressive.

I pretended not to catch any underlying meaning and said, "That really is dangerous, it's fortunate you had someone around."

"Exactly." Nina suddenly looked sad. "I don't have any family left now. If it weren't for Zachary taking care of me at the hospital, I'd be alone. If I fell asleep and the IV finished, there would be no one to call the nurse to remove the needle. If I had a backflow of blood, I'd definitely be terrified."

Having learned what I wanted to know, I casually replied, "It's good that you're okay."

Nina smiled again. "I heard from Zachary about your love story with Frank, so I came uninvited to share in your good fortune."

"When lovers end up together, I'm happy too."

I linked arms with Frank and gave my mom a look before we boarded the plane.

While I talked to Nina, Jane didn't spare a glance this way and was whispering to Michael instead.

However, what piqued my curiosity was that Zachary kept watching Jane but didn't refute Nina's words.

I wondered what he was thinking.

After the plane took off and leveled off, Zachary followed Jane toward the restroom area.
