Ex-husband’s Regret

"Do you really want to thank me?" Jack walked to the car, pushed Tom into the back seat, leaned against the car, and looked at me with a smile and lowered eyes.

I nodded. "Of course."

"Then promise me, don't always say thank you' to me in the future." This remark had a slightly unusual flavor. Before I could figure out what he meant, he added with a smile, "It makes things too formal." I chuckled. "Alright, got it."

He got into the car as well and then said, "I'm leaving, you should ad back upstairs now."

When I went upstairs, the living room was empty. Ryan wasn't there. I felt my heart sank for a moment. But just for a moment. Leaving silently was his style. It was probably another "urgent matter" from Jessica's side.

Back in the bedroom, I gently patted Jane. "Jane, wake up. I'll help you change into pajamas so you can sleep more comfortably,"

"Mm." Jane moaned slightly, and upon seeing me, she reached out to hug me, letting me take off her top. She then murmured, "Charlotte. you're the best, no one is allowed to bully you..." "Silly girl," I couldn't help but laugh.

The next day, when I woke up, Jane wasn't in bed. I heard faint noises coming from the living room. I walked to the door with sleepy eyes and saw Jane doing yoga.

Seeing me up, she maintained her pose and raised her chin smugly. "Do I look good?"

"You look fantastic." I couldn't help but smile.

She was the prettiest girl I had ever seen. The kind that would take

one's breath away at first sight, the kind that would make one exclaim Now, wearing yoga clothes, her figure was even more stunning.

Jane nodded in satisfaction. "Of course, it's because you have good taste, Charlotte

I chuckled and went into the bathroom to freshen up. While doing my makeup, Jane finished her yoga and ran in, staring at my empty ears. Where are the earrings from last night?" "In the drawer."I was drawing my eyebrows and casually pointed to

their location.

She took them out, put them on my ears, and said. "These ruby earrings. suit your temperament perfectly."Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

"What temperament do I have?" I asked with a smile.

"Well... calm and confident, gentle and graceful.

I stared at her slightly upturned fox-like eyes and clicked my tongue twice. "With you praising me like that, I'm afraid that I might fall in love with you."

"If I can help you get over Ryan, I don't mind being a lesbian." She chuckled.

“It's not that serious." I couldn't help but laugh. When I raised my hand to take off the earrings, she stopped me and said admiringly, “Don't take them off, they look so good on you!"

"Alright, I'll listen to you." Anyway, my hair would cover them when I let them hang down naturally. They were too expensive, and I was afraid someone might snatch them.

After arriving at work, Jane and I parted ways in the elevator. I headed straight to the Design Department. To my surprise, before the computer could even boot up, an unexpected visitor pushed the door open. In the entire Design Department, actually, in the entire company, there was only one person with such good manners, and that was Jessica.

"Was Ryan with you last night?"

I leaned back in my chair, giving her a meaningful look. "You should know better than me where he was last night, shouldn't you?"

'Wasn't she the one who called him away last night?' I wondered.

"Stop pretending, Charlotte. You don't really want a divorce, do you?" Jessica closed the door, still with a gentle expression, but there was a trace of ruthlessness in her eyes. "Don't you know why Ryan married you? Do you really think he's that obedient and would do anything his grandfather told him to?"
