Ex-husband’s Regret

Hearing this, I touched my stomach. "I can't be with him."

Two years ago, I had already...

I had foolishly left Frank once before. This time, it wouldn't happen again.

Jane covered my hand and comforted me, "You're pregnant now, and your emotions affect the baby too. Since you've chosen to trust Frank, then don't get yourself too worked up, okay? Frank will find a way."

"You have a point!" I nodded vigorously.

Seeing that I was feeling better, Jane relaxed, though she seemed a bit uneasy. "So, Jack has been pretending all along?"

I could understand her feelings. After such a long time of deception, it was hard to imagine how deep the thoughts of the once gentle Jack could be.

Before I could speak, Jane read my silence and shivered. "It's a good thing you didn't fall for him. People like that have psychological'issues. They can be very possessive and controlling, and it's easy for them to have tendencies towards domestic violence." Jane suddenly laughed and pinched my face. "You're so lucky, Charlotte. You attract so many people."

I sighed. "Could you take this good fortune instead?"

"No way!" Jane crossed her arms in front of her, "I still prefer the kind of person who just ignores me, the kind I can't flirt with."

I raised an eyebrow. "Oh, like Zachary?"

Jane shot me a sidelong glance. "Charlotte, you and Frank have become quite cynical."

"Yep." I agreed with that. "Birds of a feather flock together."

Grandma woke up in the evening.

Jane had no urgent business, so she stayed to have dinner with us.

Frank had sent a message saying that he would be back later and told me not to worry.

But I still couldn't help but feel anxious.

Seeing me feeling a bit down, Jane suggested after dinner, "Let's watch some TV."

Grandma seemed to have noticed and agreed with Jane. "I think that's a good idea. I'll watch something that young people like."

Jane turned on the TV. Before she could select a channel, the system automatically started playing a variety show.

Seeing it was "Slow Life," she immediately wanted to change the channel.

But I knew that one of the regular guests on "Slow Life was someone she liked.

"Just watch it. It's fine," I said.

Jane frowned. "Christine is such an annoying..."

Before she could finish, she suddenly became interested in the segment that was showing.

"Can't you order some? Fans these days are so brainless."

"If you keep nagging, I'll switch you out!"

"Useless fool! I'll just get my mom to kick you out of the industry!"

Jane clicked her tongue in amusement. "This show isn't bad. They really knew what to air to gain popularity."

The TV had a live comment feed, full of shock and abuse.

A few brainless fans were weakly defending Christine.

"The production team must be intentionally ruining her reputation!"

"It's definitely the editor's fault!"

It was normal for fans to be unwilling to believe it. After all, before this, Christine had always had a pure and kind image.

The current display of arrogance and insults towards fans was like a completely different person.

Jane checked her phone and saw that several topics had already hit the trending searches.

-Slow Life is Bold

Just as I was about to speak, my phone on the coffee table suddenly rang.

I picked it up and saw the caller ID, smiling slightly as I answered, "Hello, Mom."

"Charlotte, why didn't you tell me about such an important matter?"

Yasmin's words initially sounded like a complaint but were actually filled with concern. "If it weren't for Frank telling us, when were you planning to inform meTêxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

I wasn't surprised by her reaction.

The power dynamics in Jeswood were complex. Frank probably had to explain to Alex because he had made a move that affected the Jackson family.

I felt a bit guilty, "I'm sorry..."

suppose I hadn't learned to rely on her yet, so I hadn't informed her about the pregnancy or Jack's situation in a timely manner.

Looking back now, I realized that as a daughter, I was inadequate, making her only able to care for me through Frank.

Yasmin sighed. "Silly girl, what did you do wrong to need to apologize to me? It's me who has been

absent from your life for so many years. If anyone should apologize, it's me."
