Ex-husband’s Regret

I stared intently at the screen.

One photo showed the side of Jack and me at the concert.

The other captured us leaving, his arm seemingly draped around my shoulder from behind.

Seeing the second photo, I suddenly understood why I had barely been bumped into after almost falling that day.

It turned out Jack's hand had been protecting me from behind...

I didn't know to laugh or cry. "This person's imagination and logical reasoning skills are quite impressive."

"Jack is so attentive to you, no wonder people are speculating." Jane remarked, "In my opinion, he's more reliable than Ryan."

"Don't talk nonsense." I took a sip of hot tea. "He has someone he likes, and he's liked her for many years."

"Who does he like? Why hasn't he brought her out for us to see?"

"I don't know. I guess when he succeeds in pursuing her, he'll bring her out."

I kept silent about Jack liking someone who was already married.

After all, it was his privacy, and it was somewhat... unethical. The fewer people who knew, the better.

Jane pursed her lips. "I actually thought you two were quite suitable. Turns out I was mistaken."

"Jane, I'm still married. If you're worried, at least wait until after my divorce, okay?" I chuckled. "Alright, alright."

Jane buried herself in eating, and after finishing our meal, she dragged me downstairs to shop. It was to help us digest.

While on the escalator, we noticed a crowd gathered outside a boutique.

Jane liked to join in the fun, so she pulled me over and casually asked a male onlooker, "Hey handsome, what are you all looking at here?"Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

The man was momentarily stunned by Jane's beauty, and enthusiastically replied, "There's a customer at this boutique, apparently she's pregnant, insisting on buying a bag that someone else had already pre- ordered."

"Isn't that odd?"

After thanking him, Jane leaned in to peek at the boutique counter. Soon, a familiar voice rang out. "If you don't know who I am, fine. But don't you know the Frost family in Jelaston? Tell me who ordered this bag, and I'll contact her

The woman's voice was clear and gentle, yet carried a hint of domineering superiority.

"Oh no, she's still lingering around."

Jane also spotted her, looking disgruntled. "Forget it, let's go. Nothing good comes from running into her."

"Yeah."

I didn't want to get involved with Jessica again.

I immediately turned to leave, but unexpectedly, Jessica happened to look in our direction and called out, "Charlotte?"

Before I could respond, she ran towards us. She didn't look like a pregnant woman anymore, and she didn't even want the bag anymore. She caught up and grabbed my arm.

"Why are you running? What did you say to Ryan? He's not answering my calls now."

I was rendered speechless.

I sighed, feeling a headache. "As husband and wife, we talk about a lot of things. What are you referring to?"

"You know what I mean." She persisted. "If you weren't guilty, why would you be in a hurry to leave?"

Jane was speechless. "Jessica, we just think you're bad luck."

"You call Ryan right now. I have to reach him today!" Jessica commanded imperiously.

I felt annoyed. "If you want to contact him, contact him yourself."

With that, I tried to free myself from her grip.

But suddenly, as if she had gone mad, she exerted all her strength and dragged me towards the busy street outside. "If you don't call him, we can die together!"
