Ex-husband’s Regret

In a place like this, people usually squeezed towards the back.Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Ironically, there were more empty seats at the front.

At first, there was someone sitting next to her, but she didn't pay much attention.

The movie was of a genre she loved, and with someone beside her passing snacks and drinks, she became engrossed in it.

The first to notice Zachary was Michael.

However, he wouldn't bring it up.

"Do you want some jelly, Jane?"

"Sure."

Jane always wanted something to snack on while binge-watching.

She hadn't had dinner, so this was the perfect opportunity to munch on some snacks.

Later, she could hit the gym to burn off the calories.

She couldn't let anything spoil her mood.

But unexpectedly, someone did.

The jelly Michael handed her was abruptly snatched away from her lips.

She turned her head to see who had the audacity to steal jelly from a stranger in the middle of the night!

Seeing Zachary's almost smirking expression made her freeze for a moment.

It was outside her understanding that Zachary would come to such a place.

"Miss Greenwood is awake in the middle of the night and seems to be in high spirits, coming here just for jelly."

Jane couldn't let someone get away with bothering her especially if she felt wronged.

When she had pursued Zachary, she had held back a little, even when he said harsh things, she hadn't fought back. She had initiated that connection, so being neglected was expected.

But now, it was different.

She had drawn a clear line with him. If it weren't for Frank and Charlotte in between, she wouldn't even

want to share the same air with him.

In this context, he came to her with that condescending attitude.

Could she tolerate it?

Clearly not.

"Mr. Collins, what a nice night for you to come here alone, watching others be affectionate. Could it be that you're... Oh, I get it. It's because you're getting older and can't keep up, right?" She intentionally pitched her voice, mimicking Nina's tone. "Zachary."

Zachary shouldn't have come.

Not going to the teahouse had already settled their relationship.

The last time they shared a laugh while performing together was merely for Frank's sake.

It didn't mean they wanted to resolve their past misunderstandings.

That day, he had been dazed with fever and fantasized about her coming to ask him something when he took Nina along.

A few teasing remarks would have been fine, he could have explained himself then.

But when they met again two days later, she was already all over someone else.

"Is there a rule that you must come with someone?"

Zachary came from a family involved in both business and politics, with a comprehensive upbringing that equipped him with more than others.

He had always been aloof, preferring to solve problems as they arose, having already anticipated solutions beforehand.

He always knew what he wanted, whether regarding situations or people.

Initially, when Jane flirted with him, he thought she was just being playful.

But he wasn't interested in playing, so he had responded coldly.

Now that Jane had stopped flirting and distanced herself, it was the outcome he desired.

Yet, it left him feeling unsettled.

"I've never been here before. I was just curious, is that so wrong?"

Jane smiled, "Of course, Mr. Collins can go wherever he pleases. Who would dare say anything?"

But she didn't want to stay in the same space as Zachary.

After tossing that cheerful remark, she stood up and called Michael to leave.

Michael grabbed the unfinished snacks and obediently followed Jane out.

Zachary didn't know what had gotten into him, but as Jane passed in front of him, he reached out, grabbing her wrist and pulling her into his embrace.
