Ex-husband’s Regret

Chapter 696

He was born into such a harsh family and was an only child, bearing a tremendous responsibility. The path of his upbringing was filled with hardships.

From a young age, he clearly knew what he wanted, and his personality was thus steady and aloof.

At that time, even when he expressed his feelings, he remained calm and composed.

However, before anything could happen, his grandfather sent her abroad.

He said it was for her development, to help her learn more.

In reality, he just wanted to separate her from Zachary

After years apart, everything changed as they grew up.

But when she returned home and visited him in the hospital, his attitude toward her remained unchanged.

Although indifferent, there was a unique gentleness about him.

She thought that even his grandfather's actions wouldn't affect that.

Previously, he was too young to fully control his life.

Now that he had grown up, he was gradually taking over the Collins family.

At that time, with power in his hands, no one could stop him from being with her.

So, even though she knew someone named Jane was pursuing him and had been close to him, and they

had entangled for a while, she was still confident that Zachary's heart belonged to her.

But now, witnessing this scene filled her with a deep sense of crisis.

Was it possible that... Zachary had really fallen for Jane?

No, it seemed he was close to loving her.

She couldn't just maintain her usual gentle demeanor and wait passively for Zachary.

She needed to find a way to stop their relationship from progressing.

"The bodyguard will take you back," Zachary said as he got into the car.

The car drove away, and the bodyguard released Michael to approach Nina to help her into the car.

However, Nina stopped Michael, her voice always soft and gentle, lacking any aggression, making it impossible for anyone to lose their temper with her.

"I can see that Jane likes Zachary. I want Zachary to be happy, so I'd advise you to give up early. If you keep clinging on, the Collins family isn't easy to deal with. You're no match for them." Though Michael was young, he wasn't naive or stupid.

Zachary was too involved to see clearly; as an observer, Michael had a clear view.

"You want your Zachary to be happy?" Michael mocked. "Do you believe in your own lies now?"

With Zachary's bodyguard present, Nina couldn't say too much.

In her heart, she had a plan, and she believed that once she spoke to Michael, he would surely agree.

"What I said was heartfelt. It's hard to get a taxi here, and it's far from downtown. Let me give you a ride."

Michael had the words of refusal on the tip of his tongue but ultimately didn't say them and bent down to get into the car.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

The bodyguards had been with Zachary for a long time and knew Nina was kind, so they didn't say anything.

Once they reached the city, Michael got out of the car and walked straight into the cafe across the street.

Nina was escorted home by the bodyguards.

At home, she drank a glass of water, waited a bit, then went out to hail a taxi, arriving at the place where Michael had gotten out.

The two exchanged glances through the cafe's window.

Nina found a more suitable spot to talk and had someone pass a note to Michael.

After half an hour, Michael arrived at the address on the note.

It was an escape room.

A horror-themed one.

Inside, they slightly avoided the cameras, pretending to look for something while speaking softly.

After listening to Nina's plan, Michael scoffed, "Do you think Zachary is that foolish? Besides, if you really had the ability, you would stop them. Who knows what might happen with their current situation?" Nina smiled. "But you still came to find me, didn't you?"

Michael fell silent for a moment. "I thought you had some brilliant plan. I really don't want them to be together."
