Ex-husband’s Regret

"What the hell is she up to this time?"

At that moment, a relaxed, deep male voice had sounded.

"Was this a grand performance prepared because we returned?"

Jane was surprised to see Charlotte..

"How come you're back?"

Charlotte poked her forehead. "You thought you could hide such a big thing from me."

Jane believed Yasmin was not someone who lacked integrity. "How did you know?

Charlotte pointed to Frank.

They came to a tacit understanding.

Jane grasped Charlotte's hand. "We aren't children. Zachary and I can handle this, you can do what you have to."

Charlotte replied, "We're in no rush."

"Zachary!"

Just as Jane wanted to say more, she heard a hoarse cry.

Turning around, she saw Nina had thrown herself into Zachary's arms.

At that moment, she had stood frozen in place.

Her intuition told her that someone like Nina wouldn't hurt herself willingly.

Moreover, it wasn't just her, Frank had noticed the moment he appeared.

But Zachary couldn't just watch, he still reached out to stop her.

Once he intervened, she had already plunged into his embrace.

It was too late to pull back.

He looked at Jane.

Jane had raised her hand slightly in a calm manner and then said to Charlotte, "I'm starving. Let's talk about it while we eat."

"Get it sorted out first," Frank added, following the two girls.

Once they arrived at the restaurant, Frank began to order.

Everything was what Charlotte loved to eat.

Jane sat opposite, watching the two of them share affectionate looks, and suddenly realized, "Oh, so Frank didn't come back to help, he came to watch the show." Frank maintained his composure. "Miss Greenwood's perspective is limited."

Jane complained to Charlotte, who then tapped Frank)

Frank wasn't afraid of anyone or anything except Charlotte.

"You guys talk, I'll keep my mouth shut."

Jane burped. "Forget it, I don't need to eat. I have no appetite now that I've seen you two being all toney dovey."

As soon as she finished speaking, someone had sat beside her.

The person carried a faint scent of hotel shower gel like hers, mixed with a crisp hint of tobacco

Without saying anything, she had handed the menu over.

Zachary pushed it back. "You can order."

Frank couldn't keep quiet for long, especially since it was his friend's affair.

"Where's your vigilance?"

Zachary, coming from a prominent political and business family, had met all kinds of people such as their tivals, enemies, those who sought to attach themselves to his families, and scheming bastards etc. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were surrounded by enemies.

Every step he took had to be thought out ten steps in advance.

Though they appeared to be in a high position and no one could touch their family,

In reality, there were hidden enemies, always waiting for an opportunity to take a bite out of them.

As the only son and precious heir of the Collins family, Zachary was both valued and surrounded by danger.

Since childhood, his family had taken him to recognize various types of personalities, cultivating his ability to see the true nature beneath the surface, as well as developing his alertness.

As he grew up, he had also received some professional training in the wild.

However, last night, he had thrown all that to the back of his mind.

Even when he had clearly sensed the sweet fragrance, he hadn't checked it out.

As a result, he had only realized that something was different when he woke up that noon.

This delay meant that the investigation would take more time.

"Does this mean you're willing to die beneath a peony flower and still be considered romantic?"

Zachary sipped his tea, remaining silent.

Frank wanted to tease him further, but Charlotte poked his waist.

In an instant, he became serious. "Michael and Nina need to be thoroughly investigated. The bigger the fuss we make, the more nervous they will be."Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
