Ex-husband’s Regret

After all, they were friends.

Jane's eyes sparkled mischievously. "You're just worried about Frank."

I shot her a sidelong glance. "No, I'm concerned about you. If he goes crazy, you'll definitely be hurt."

Jane clinked her wine glass against my juice.

I could only drink juice while breastfeeding.

"If I need your help, I'll let you know."

"Okay."

While we were talking, Michael had already cut the steak, even arranging it into a heart shape on a plate for Jane.

"Hey, Jane, don't just drink, eat something too. You don't want to have an upset stomach."

"Okay."

Jane picked up her cutlery to eat, and Michael cut some roast meat.

I couldn't help but sigh at the scene, but then I heard Frank's cool v

eside me.

"Jealous?" Before I could respond, he added, "You make it look like I haven't done the same for you. What's there to be jealous of?"

I gave him a light shove and placed some food on his place.

As I placed the food in his plate, I asked, "Satisfied, Mr. Smith?"

Frank lowered his gaze, studying me. "Satisfied? I'm utterly flabbergasted."

I gently bit down on my back teeth.

With everyone around, I didn't want to discuss anything intimate.

"As long as you're satisfied." After saying that, I focused on my meal.

Frank looked at me for a few seconds before looking away, saying nothing.

Even though we hadn't argued, everyone noticed the tension between us. Jane asked again, but I shook my head. "I'll handle it later."

On the other side, Zachary clinked glasses with Frank.

Seeing his brother facing issues made him feel a bit better about his own situation.

"This honeymoon turned into a fight, looks like you two are better off staying at home." Frank merely shot him a cool glance and remained silent.

He hadn't even sorted out his own issues, yet he dared to watch Frank's troubles.

He decided to do nothing and see how Zachary pursued Jane.

"Zachary." Nina pushed a plate of steak toward Zachary, her watery eyes looking pitiful and aggrieved. "I can't use my hand right now, I wanted to cut it for you, but you'll have to do it yourself..."

"I'm sorry, I promised your godmother I'd take care of you, but you keep getting hurt. If I had known, I wouldn't have insisted on coming to play. We have plenty of opportunities in the future." As she spoke, she continued to apologize.

Zachary's mood wasn't great at that moment.

On the other side, Jane and Michael were busy serving each other food.

If Nina didn't speak, he would have forgotten that she was even there.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

He hadn't thought much about bringing her along, after all, she had injured her hand in his house.

Though it wasn't a permanent injury, it would still need time to heal before she could paint again.

Since Frank didn't mind people tagging along, he feared her getting too fixated on her feelings, leading to psychological issues that could delay her recovery, so he agreed to let her come along for a distraction. "I'll cut it for you."

After all, they had grown up together, and she had endured some grievances because of him.

To this day, he still hadn't apologized to her, while she was always the one apologizing.

It made sense, if she didn't have such a gentle personality, her grandfather wouldn't have sent her abroad for so many years.

Only when her grandfather was critically ill did she return.

"There's no need to feel sorry all the time. Just say what's on your mind, I'm not a stranger."

Nina nodded obediently, smiling genuinely. "Thank you, Zachary, for being so good to me."

Zachary didn't see what was so good about himself.

Nina was just too easily satisfied.
