Ex-husband’s Regret

Frank laughed. "So the condition he proposed is this.

"But I'm more curious about how he blew up the place where I was holding Jack."

That place was abandoned, and almost no one knew he was keeping people there.

Kevin had fled abroad for the Shaw family's assets, abandoning Simone.

He didn't have time to arrange this.

For some reason, he just felt that someone like Jack, a rat in the gutter, wouldn't die easily.

"I'm still investigating this, but Jack definitely can't be alive. That chemical factory is a complete ruin; the guards you arranged didn't survive, and he was locked up there unless he's a god or they found his body and confirmed his DNA."

Frank set aside this doubt for now. "You need to come here."

"I promised Charlotte that I'd be home for Christmas. Otherwise, she'd definitely come over regardless."

Zachary agreed, "I'll bring Simone and Bethany with me."

He couldn't help but tease him a little. After all, opportunities to see Frank in a tough spot were rare. "How does it feel to be a hostage?"

Frank had always been wild and unrestrained. Could he really be hurt by such child's play?

"It's okay, there's food and drink, and they even had a bunch of people help me work out."

Jane took me out shopping to distract me and found inspiration for designing a dress.

I hadn't wanted to go out, but I couldn't resist her persistent nagging.

Just as I finished changing clothes, I received a video call from Frank.

I quickly pressed answer.

Seeing Frank's familiar handsome face made my eyes sting.

Frank noticed my mood and stood up to turn around, his handsome face magnified on the screen,

flawless as ever.

He carried his usual laid-back and mischievous demeanor.

"Feeling relieved now?"

I wasn't relieved. "You take off your clothes."

Frank laughed, cocking his brows. "Are you developing some inappropriate thoughts about me?"

I didn't react right away, then heard him say, "They say during pregnancy, hormones are unbalanced, now I believe it. But don't worry. I checked with a doctor. Just to be safe, we need to wait three months. Be patient." I really wanted to go over there and kick him. I glared at him and gritted my teeth. "You're hidingNôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

something from me, so you're intentionally changing the subject."

Frank rubbed his nose, finally admitting, "I am facing some trouble."

I tensed up. "What kind of trouble?"

Frank sat up straight a little. "Kevin."

"Kevin?" I was puzzled. "Weren't you always dealing with him?"

"Yes, but he escaped abroad. I came here for a business trip and ran into him. This isn't my turf. He wants me to release Simone and Bethany."

My heart skipped a beat. "So you're trapped there?"

"Did you get hurt?"

Kevin was definitely involved in the underworld.

Frank, through the screen, tapped my face. "I'm fine. I didn't mention it before because I didn't want you to worry. Zachary is coming over with people soon. I'll definitely be with you for Christmas, trust me, okay?" I pouted, just about to complain when I heard Jane call me.

"Charlotte."

I looked up to see her leaning against the door, looking particularly sneaky.

"Are you on the phone with Frank?"

"I think I heard Zachary's name."

I knew what she was thinking and instinctively hung up the video call, blocking Jane, who was about to

walk out.

"No, you don't need to go this time. Why would you do something knowing there's danger?"
