Ex-husband’s Regret

"You'll do anything for this child, won't you?" Jack's smile made my skin crawl. "In that case, keeping it isn't such a bad idea."

I followed Jack from the cabin to the deck.

As we were getting off the boat, he insisted on holding my hand, and I couldn't break free.

"Jack."

I turned to see a man in a purple suit walking over.

as very pale, but his lips were red.

With his yellow curls and blue eyes, he really looked like a male fairy.

"Senno."

Jack introduced me.

"So this is the woman you risked everything to bring back?"

Senno scrutinized me and said, "You seem nice-looking, but besides that, there's really nothing special about you. Why is he so infatuated with you?" 'Infatuated?'

I felt a wave of dizziness, unsure if it was from seasickness or pregnancy.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Silence hung heavily over the scene.

Seeing that I wasn't saying anything, Senno didn't continue talking to me.

He turned to Jack, saying, "I've arranged a place for her to rest. I need to discuss something with you."

Jack sensed something was off. "What more do we need to discuss?"

"You help me escape, and I'll bring Charlotte back. Then everything between us will be settled."

"I'm only here temporarily, I'll be leaving in a few days. After that, there will be no need for us to stay in touch."

Senno didn't seem fond of Jack. To him, Jack exuded a dark aura and was crazy.

If it weren't for Frank, he wouldn't be wasting his time here.

But for now, he had to maintain appearances.

"A transition also needs a place, I can't just let you roam freely here. Come with me."

I didn't want to be alone with Jack, so I turned to Senno, "Excuse me, sir, I'm hungry. Is there anything to

eat?"

Every moment I could delay was worth it.

Senno had feelings for Frank, but he was also someone who had been preparing to take over the Valin family since childhood.

He had seen various things.

Outsiders might think he was foolish, but that was just his way of protecting himself.

So he could see through my attempt to buy time while waiting for Frank.

"Of course, I even had a chef from your country prepare something."

I smiled slightly. "But I'd like to try your local dishes. I've heard the beef is good."

Senno seemed helpless. "Well, for that you need something fresh, freshly killed. Knowing you were coming, I prepared dishes from your country. If you want beef, you'll have to wait a bit."

I replied, "That's fine, I can wait."

Sudden

ck pulled me to his side.

I avoided looking at him, steadying myself while keeping my gaze on Senno.

Jack forcibly turned my face toward him.

Meeting his abyss-like amber eyes made me anxious.

"What are you doing?" I slapped his hand away, speaking angrily to cover up other emotions.

Jack wrapped his arm around my shoulders with great force, causing my shoulder to tingle with pain.

He said to Senno, "You want Frank to be yours, I won't get involved. But if you think you can use my woman as leverage, dream on."

Senno laughed. "What are you talking about? I'm just using her to lure Frank to the island. Once he's on my turf, I can do whatever I want." At those words, a chill ran down my back.

Earlier, I tried to buy time with Senno because I sensed he didn't want Jack and me to be alone together.

I wondered if he had reached some kind of agreement with Frank.

If that were the case, Frank would definitely come to the island.

Hearing him say that, I became even more worried about Frank's safety.

But at the moment, I had no way to warn him.
