Ex-husband’s Regret

The words sounded quite reasonable.

Jane thought that no one would belittle themselves like that.

If he had immediately found Michael after her at the airport, It would have made sense for him to go a bit

crazy.

Perhaps he couldn't accept that the person he had pursued for so long had moved on seamlessly,

But...

"Okay, since you said you liked me and that you would do anything as long as I forgave you, then promise me one thing."

Zachary said, "I can agree to anything except giving you up."

That sentence alone closed off all her options.

Jane leaned against the door, fell into silence for a moment, and then decided to be straightforward.

"Zachary, I was impulsive when I first teased you, and I owe you an apology. I also thank you for liking me, but we can't be together." They had no future.

Zachary was momentarily stunned, the topic had shifted too abruptly.

He asked, "Is it because of Michael?"

Jane replied, "No."

"Then why?"

"Because you and I come from two different worlds."

Just a moment ago, Zachary had smoked two cigarettes alone on the balcony.

He had thought about it. He shouldn't trap Jane. She was more suited for the sky than a cage,

But when he saw her about to enter a room alone, he couldn't help but come over to ask.

He still wanted to clarify all the misunderstandings from before.

Even if she really didn't like him anymore, at least they could sit at the same table for a meal without hostility.

And she could give him a genuine smile.

Not a forced one.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"Since we've gotten to this point, I'll give you a clear answer."

Zachary bent down to meet her gaze, looking into her eyes as he spoke slowly.

"As long as I want to, I can marry you, and the Collins family won't become your cage, you can still be yourself and do as you please."

Jane never believed that anything in this world was permanent.

Except for her friendship with Charlotte, she had seen too many moments where one could love intensely one second and then fight bitterly the next. Tom was an example.

Although it started as a game, they had indeed been in a relationship.

When he finally wanted to get serious, he ended up marrying someone of equal status.

Zachary's background was even stronger than Tom's.

How could it be possible for him to smoothly marry her?

Even if, hypothetically, he did marry her, what if he regretted it later?

No matter how small the probability, it still existed.

She didn't have the confidence that she could be more important than family in Zachary's heart.

"Zachary, let it go."

Zachary's eyes suddenly widened, and he immediately grabbed her wrist.

"Jane, you're not the type to back down in the face of difficulties. Whatever you have to say, just say it, I can handle it."

In fact, there was one more important point.

Jane didn't believe that Zachary suddenly saying that he liked her was genuine.

At most, it could only be described as a good impression, to put it bluntly, it was possessiveness.

She tried to pull her hand back, but Zachary held it tightly, leaving her no choice but to give in.

She felt exhausted but couldn't find the words to say.

She just leaned in silence against the door.

Zachary stepped forward, pinched her chin, forcing her to look up at him.

His brows furrowed tightly. "You don't believe me?"

Jane's eyes flickered as she asked, "Why do you like me?"

Zachary's deep voice turned serious as he replied, "To be honest, I don't even know. When you started distancing yourself from me, I felt a bit restless. When you tried to draw a line between us, I felt a bit stifled. You're the one who started flirting with me first, saying you liked me. I've rejected you coldly more than once, yet you still didn't give up. How could you suddenly become indifferent?"
