Ex-husband’s Regret

Chapter

658

I was hesitating whether I should speak first.

Jane finished a glass of ice water and bit her lip, cursing, "Do you know that Zachary's sick?"

I nodded in agreement.

If he liked her, he should just say so, after that, they could talk things out and be in a proper relationship.

What was with the kissing? That was just something couples did.

Now it was like he was acting like a thug.

Anyone would be angry in her shoes.

"Why not report him to the police?"

"I want him to learn a lesson that he'll never forget," said Jane. Then suddenly realized something was off. "I don't think I mentioned what he did, why would you suggest calling the police?"

"Oh, I know." She leaned back on the sofa, crossing her arms in a questioning posture. "Did you peek at us from upstairs last night?"

I felt guilty about this. I originally intended to go downstairs, but Frank wouldn't let me.

I also thought this was their issue, and as a friend, I shouldn't intervene too much.

"I'm guilty, so I can talk to Frank about this and help you vent your anger. But it can't go too far, after all, he has helped us a lot before."

Jane laughed. "So now you're Frank's fiancee, huh? You're not as unconditionally on my side as before."

I rubbed my nose. "I'm just being objective, I can't be too extreme, can I? That wouldn't be good."

Jane was just good with words.

Zachary was after all the big boss and a friend of Frank

She couldn't make her good friend feel awkwardly stuck in the middle.

"This time I'll just treat it like getting bitten by a dog. If it happens again, I'll make sure he's totally- embarrassed!"

I thought for a moment and decided to mention the matter of the first love.

"Last night, I asked Frank about it, he said it wasn't love, but during his teenage years, he felt a bit of a stir, though it was quickly snuffed out by Zachary's grandpa"

Jane shook her head. "Frank is just comforting you. Charlie told me last night that he almost fell out with his family over that first love."

I frowned.

Frank wouldn't lie to me, I was sure of that.

We had come so far together, and I could see everything he had done.

"Charlie's words are the ones I wouldn't trust," I analyzed. "Don't you remember what he said on Frank's birthday last year? He seems to miss the point all the time." Jane laughed. "You are getting better at insulting people. I guess you're becoming more like Frank."

I smiled and patted her. "I'm just being serious here, but the choice is yours. If you don't want anything to do with Zachary, I'll definitely help you."NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Jane picked up a bunch of grapes to eat.

As she spit out the seeds, she said, "Even if I wanted something, he has to pursue me. I'm not going to be the one chasing him and being ignored anymore."

I found it hard to imagine Zachary chasing someone.

With his background, he already had the capital for people to line up to pursue him.

Of course, Jane was no slouch either, but Zachary was wealthy and good-looking.

"You also need to consider class issues. We're not lacking, but can you love someone enough to go against the whole world? If not, there's no need to complicate your comfortable life." Just as Jane was about to respond when her phone rang.

Seeing it was an unknown number, she thought it might be a client and answered.

But then a familiar male voice came through.

It sounded a bit weak.

"Jane..."

"I have a fever."

Jane was confused and then speechless.

'Are you sure it's a fever, not something else?' she thought. 'Otherwise, why are you calling me?

She paused for a few seconds, replying indifferently, "Do you need me to call 911 for you, Mr. Collins?" Zachary was rendered speechless.
