Ex-husband’s Regret

Zachary walked in and set the tray down. "Eat.

Nina looked at him, her face devoid of color, making her dark pupils appear deep.

Zachary stood there with one hand in his pocket, his expression neutral.

After staring at each other for a while, Nina smiled. "Zachary, you want something from me, right?"

Zachary remained silent.

Nina picked up the oat porridge and took a sip, her tone leisurely. "This feels quite pointless. Why don't you agree to one condition? I'll get rid of the child, and we can go back to how we used to be." Zachary likely guessed what that condition was

He had thought that her feelings for him were just youthful infatuation, something that was normal given they lived under the same roof and spent nearly every day together.

He assumed that after being abroad for so many years, and as she grew older, those adolescent feelings would have long faded away.

Unexpectedly, not only had they not disappeared, but they had become more stubborn.

After a long silence, he honestly said, "To be frank, I don't think you actually like me. You're making me feel uncomfortable. How can you say you like me?"

Nina laughed. "How can I not say that? I want to possess you, just like you want to possess Jane. How is that not love?"

Zachary felt discussing this with her in her current state was pointless.

She was too manic.

"Eat."

Nina smiled. "I am eating, Zachary."Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

"You guessed my condition, didn't you? That's why you're avoiding a direct answer to my question."

Zachary bluntly asked, "Did you get together with other men abroad because you me?"

Nina wasn't surprised that he could find out about these things.

Once Zachary discovered everything was part of her plan, she knew they could never go back to how they were.

So, her main goal now was to eliminate any possibility between him and Jane.

"Physiological needs don't affect how I feel about you."

"Zachary, as long as you and Jane cut off all contact, I'll get rid of this child. No one can pressure you anymore, okay?"

Zachary wanted to say that unless he were dead, he would absolutely not separate from

Jane.

For now, he held back.

"Take care of yourself."

After he said that he turned to leave.

Nina stared at the tray on the nightstand for a moment, and in the next second, she forcefully swept it off, shattering the bowls and plates all over the floor.

"I found out that before Zachary followed me to Heliafield, Nina had been in secret contact with Michael."

As Zachary went downstairs, he heard Frank say this and quickened his pace.

"What did you say?"

Frank glanced at him. "You didn't manage to find out this small detail?"

Zachary replied, "You're talking about that incident in the escape room?"

Frank nodded. "The surveillance in the escape room had audio."

"It's useless." Zachary sat down and said, "The owner of the escape room said the footage will only be kept for seven days. Back then, I didn't think to keep an eye on Nina." That had given her the chance to get away with things.

After giving it some thought, Zachary felt that he had brought this

himself.

Frank cocked his brows. "The data of the surveillance in the escape room can be recovered."

Zachary quickly turned to look at Frank. "What did you say?"

"Have you gone deaf or something? You ask a question every time I tell you something. How about you get your ears checked first?" said Frank.

Zachary wanted to say no, but knew what Frank actually meant.

"I do need to have my ears checked out. I don't know why, but my ears kept on ringing recently."
