Ex-husband’s Regret

I chuckled softly. "What do you think?"

Frank clicked his tongue. "Relying on the fact that I can't touch you right now? It seems you've figured out how to be flirty."

""Who's being flirty?"

After my retort, I couldn't stop worrying about Grandma. "What if Grandma never recognizes me again?"

I had actually prepared myself for the possibility that Grandma might never recognize me again, but it still felt heavy on my heart in front of someone so close to me. Frank comforted me. "Grandma loves you so much. She won't forget you forever. She's just ill, and with treatment, she will get better."

"Charlotte, what are you doing?"

Yasmin called out to me. After chatting with Frank for a few more minutes and reminding him to take care of himself, I hung up the phone.

I walked out of the bedroom, and Yasmin asked with a smile, "Did I interrupt your phone call?"

"Not at all, we finished talking."

"Then let's watch a movie," Yasmin suggested. "I see there's a projector here."Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Sure." I linked my arm with Yasmin's. "I always thought it would be nice to watch a movie with you."

"I'll get some fruit, and you choose the movie."

"Let's watch one you're in."

Yasmin shivered and quickly declined. "You watch it by yourself. I can't watch my own intimate scenes with my daughter."

I couldn't help but laugh.

In the end, we chose a comedy.

One of the lead actors was from Yasmin's agency, and she even shared some gossip with me.

Suddenly, the movie lost its appeal.

"Is it true? He has a child with his agent?"

"But he's a rising star. Isn't it unusual for someone from a talent show to be involved in a relationship so early? If this gets out, a lot of his female fans might unfollow him."

remembered that Jane used to really enjoy watching his dramas. Although he debuted from a talent show, his acting was indeed noteworthy. At least he was engaging to watch, unlike some other celebrities. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for him to land a role in a major film.

Yasmin fed me a grape and said, "There are plenty of people who marry secretly and have children. When love comes, there's nothing much one can do."

"As long as it doesn't get out, the single persona can remain intact and keep making money."

I bit into the grape and couldn't help but continue gossiping, "With his level of fame, doesn't the paparazzi have to watch him around the clock?"

"Of course, and the paparazzi make a lot of money from it."

I was surprised. "The paparazzi have already captured something?"

Yasmin tapped my forehead and laughed lightly. "I didn't realize you were so nosy."

That night, I slept with Yasmin.

I dreamed that I had never left her as a child. She took me to shoot films and showed me the mountains and sunsets.

On the day of the prenatal check-up, Frank came back to Region Gardens to pick me up.

Seeing his drooping eyes and obvious fatigue, I frowned. "You should go upstairs and get some rest. I can go to the hospital by myself."

After all, it was the Smith family's own hospital, and with bodyguards accompanying me, it wasn't likely to be dangerous in such a short time. "You don't get to decide."

Frank helped me into the car and then bent down to sit beside me. "Ms. Jackson has a filming commitment she can't miss. If I don't go, who will be accompanying you?"

I blinked. "Jane is here. She's already at the hospital and recovering well. She can accompany me for the check-up and then discharge herself."

Frank leaned back in the seat, his long legs spread out casually. He glanced at me and said, "So, you prioritize friends over me?"

"Not at all." I looked at the dark circles under his eyes with concern. "I just want you to rest a bit. Frank, I don't want you to be so tired."

"Charlotte, you have no idea what exhaustion feels like."

I didn't understand and looked at him in confusion. "Huh?"

"It's not knowing when I'll find you again." Frank reached out, pulling me into his embrace, his large hand gently rubbing my head. "It's not knowing whether you'll still be there through those endless days and nights. Life now, feels like a blessing to me, silly. As long as you're by my side, I only feel content, not exhausted."
