Ex-husband’s Regret

They couldn't even think about what he meant by those words.

Frank raised his hand, and Alan stepped forward to pull up an intruder.

Frank poked the camera in front of him with an taser, lifting his chin slightly, exuding an air of reckless

arrogance.

"The price for this lesson is steep. I trust you understand, right? Senno Valin."

On the other side of the camera was Senno Valin, the head of the Valin family, one of the local mafia

groups.

Initially, he had agreed to Kevin's request to eliminate Frank.

Now, things were getting interesting.

He looked at Frank's defiant image on the screen. "I want to win him over. If I can use a person like him, I can take over other territories and become the king here." Kevin was already furious that Frank hadn't been eliminated. Hearing Senno say this only made him angrier.

But he was just leveraging a little bit of gratitude here, not powerful enough to confront Senno.

"Frank is very dangerous, cunning, and hard to win over. Plus, he's ruthless. Since we didn't kill him this time, he will definitely come back for revenge."

"I like people like that." Senno's eyes sparkled. "I haven't encountered someone so interesting in a long time."

Kevin was rendered speechless.

What charm did Frank have that appealed to everyone, regardless of gender?

What annoyed him the most was Frank's arrogance, as if no one in the world could touch him.

Wait, there was one person.

"Senno, if you want to win Frank over, I have a good idea."

My mom was on a business trip for the launch ceremony of a high-budget historical drama,

With an investment of tens of millions, the preparation for props and costumes took months.

Two veteran actors agreed to the role because of my mom.

She should definitely make an appearance at the launch ceremony.

"Frank said he would be back for the Christmas, right?"

I wasn't sure, but to reassure my mom, I nodded.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Only then did my mom leave, feeling reassured.

In the large house, I was all alone.

I didn't feel like going out, so I settled in front of the coffee table to sketch.

But my mind was restless, and I was unsatisfied with many of the drawings I made.

Frank said he would call me back when he was done, but I hadn't heard from him yet.

At that moment, it was evening on his side, and I was worried he might be asleep, so I hesitated to call and disturb him.

I really didn't know how those in long-distance relationships managed to hold on.

I felt like I was suffering every second.

"Charlotte!"

Jane entered by entering the password herself, cheerfully rushing towards me while shaking a bag in her hand.

"I bought a cake! Come on, eat something sweet. It will make you feel better."

I replied helplessly, "How did you know I was feeling down?"

Jane pinched my cheek. "Your mom told me. She saw you on the balcony last night, looking so lonely, and called me to ask. I didn't know the details, so I just gave a brief explanation. And then this morning, she called me again and said that you looked unhappy, but she was in a hurry to go to the set, so she asked me to come over and cheer you up."

During breakfast, my mom did ask me what was wrong, noticing my poor complexion.

I made an excuse about feeling unwell due to pregnancy to cover it up.

Not telling the truth was partly because she was going to the set, and I didn't want her to worry unnecessarily.

I also wasn't clear on the specifics, so I couldn't just say anything.

"Did Zachary really not say anything to you?"

Speaking of this, Jane seemed to get angry, grinding her teeth. "No, I asked him nicely, and he just turned and walked away."

"I called him again, but he didn't answer. I sent a message, and it was like throwing a peddle into the ocean."

"What? Frank hasn't called you back?"

"He did."

But I still felt restless and anxious.

"He said there was just a problem with the collaboration, but I know something has happened."

After hearing this, Jane thought for a moment and said, "It's true that it's not as safe abroad as it is here, but it's much better than before. Your man is smart; he'll be fine."

"Don't overthink it; maybe it's just that he doesn't want to keep the partners waiting. He can't be treated the same way abroad as he is here."

"Alright, stop worrying."

Seeing me downcast, Jane pushed the cake in front of me. "He said he'd be back for Christmas, so just wait. If he doesn't come back or something happens, I'll go abroad to help you check on him. Will that make you feel better?" What else could I say? I forced a smile. "No need. If Frank got into trouble, how could I let you go alone?"

Jane's eyes sparkled. "What if I'm not going alone?"Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

I was confused. "Huh?"

Jane grinned. "Zachary must also be worried about Frank. Even if he's not, he could help out, right?"

I couldn't help but laugh. "You're being too scheming."

Jane hugged me. "You're happy now. Shouldn't you think about your friend's happiness too?"

"I want to."

I took a bite of cake and stuffed it into her mouth. "But isn't it too risky to go abroad for a date at this moment? I can find opportunities for you here."

"No, no, no.

Jane let go of me, sat up straight, and wiggled her finger back and forth, looking mysterious. "Adventure
