Ex-husband’s Regret

It was already the winter in Jeswood.

The corridor's window was half open for ventilation, allowing the cold air to separate the indoor and outdoor spaces into two contrasting worlds of hot and cold.

But Zachary didn't cold. In fact, he actually felt like he was burning.

Worried that Jane might be cold, he had only opened the door a small crack, but then he suddenly opened the door wide.

Yet the next second, it slammed shut with a bang.

Zachary approached and cupped Jane's face, kissing her.

Jane felt the heat from his palm burning her slightly.

"Why are you so hot...?" she asked, struggling to push Zachary away a bit.

Zachary simply picked her up, kicked off his shoes, and strode toward the bedroom.

His kisses fell as he spoke.

"Isn't it because you kindled the fire?"

Jane liked him, and Zachary knew this all too well.

But for some reason, hearing that sentence come from her lips struck him hard.

Jane found it both amusing and exasperating. "Stop messing around and go have Zachary had already taken off his clothes.

do what you

Almost ready to scold him, Jane said, "Get lost!"

Zachary leaned closer. "I'll be quick."

"Get lost!"

At the Collins family's residence.

Eric had been home for some time.

He frequently checked the time and asked Rebecca, "Are you sure he said he would be back?

It had been two hours since Rebecca called Zachary.

They had investigated, and although Jane's place was quite far away from the Collins family's residence, it shouldn't take two hours to drive there. Chapter 763

The whole family was waiting, planning to eat once Zachary returned, so they hadn't sat

down for dinner.

No one expected the wait to be this long.

"Let's eat first."

Eric stood up. "Mom and Dad, let's eat while we wait.'

Just then, the sound of an engine came from outside.

Eric immediately sat back down.

The others hadn't had a chance to stand up.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Zachary walked in, and Indya came up to take his coat. He waved her off and walked straight in.

The sofa was once again filled, he casually pulled a chair to sit across from the coffee table, crossing his long legs and looking at everyone with an indifferent expression, waiting for them to speak.

Eric spoke first: "Do you know everyone has been waiting for you to eat? Your mother and I can manage, but you let your grandparents wait with empty stomachs?"

Zachary replied with little expression, "It's now 10 past six, isn't it the best time to have dinner?"

He had cooked at Jane's place, finished early, and initially planned for Jane to get some

rest.

Dinner was typically at six.

He had been keeping an eye on the time.

Either he would arrive home around this time, or he would wait a bit longer until they finished eating.

He had wanted to wait a bit longer, but Jane had pushed him out.

"You can eat first, I'll wait."

At that moment, there was no mood for eating!

Since it wasn't too late, Eric said, "Nina is pregnant."

He wasn't particularly satisfied with Jane.

However, he hadn't expected Nina to be carrying Zachary's child.

Ironically, the more he didn't want something, the more it came to be.

But compared to Zachary insisting on marrying Jane, he thought Nina's pregnancy wasn't a bad thing.

It could serve as a means to separate Zachary and Jane.

Zachary had no reaction after hearing this.

Eric suppressed his anger and continued, "Aren't you going to say anything?"

Zachary nodded thoughtfully. "True, I could consider myself an uncle, so I should prepare a gift."

Eric almost wanted to kick him.

But no matter how angry he was, he only had this one son, whom he had invested so much in since childhood. He didn't want their father-son relationship to become estranged. "The Collins family's bloodline cannot be lost.

Eric glanced at Nina, paused for a moment, and finally said, "We don't plan to let you marry Nina, but you still need to take responsibility for her and the child."

Nina knew this would be the outcome.

But it didn't matter, what mattered was that Zachary could be separated from Jane.
