Ex-husband’s Regret

Chapter 719

When Jane went to the front desk to check in, she was informed that Frank had booked the entire floor.

They handed her the room keys for the other rooms directly.

She twitched her lips a few times, silently cursing Frank for being a scheming fox.

He was intentionally avoiding any mention of her drama with Zachary, probably because he and Charlotte needed to resolve their little conflict tonight.

Ding-

Lost in her thoughts, the elevator arrived.

Jane stepped out.

She specifically asked the front desk for a room key that was in the opposite direction from Michael's.

As she was about to swipe her card, a familiar male voice suddenly called out.

Even though she recognized it, it still startled her.

"Why did you get a room by yourself?"

He was truly relentless.

Jane regretted ever putting on this act.

The only satisfying part had been giving him two slaps.

Taking a deep breath, she turned around. "Mr. Collins, can't you sleep at this hour? Have you come just to haunt me?"

At that moment, Zachary only cared about why she had booked a room alone.

He was immune to her sarcasm.

"Did you have a quarrel?"

Jane just wanted to collapse onto a soft bed and didn't want to get entangled with him further. "You're so concerned about my whereabouts, Mr. Collins. What? Have you really fallen for me?" Zachary stepped forward.

Jane instinctively backed up until her back was pressed against the door.

Zachary reached out and leaned a hand against the door.

The distance between them instantly closed, and with the slightest movement, they could kiss. Jane couldn't just walk away.

Her room was right behind her, if anyone was leaving, it would be Zachary.

There was no reason for her to leave.

"Looks like the slaps you received where enough, Mr. Collins?"

Jane pushed him, but he caught her wrists.

Zachary pressed her hands against his chest, looking at her with genuine warmth in his eyes.

"If I said I liked you, what would you do?"

Jane paused for a moment, then scoffed.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

"I'll just slap you twice more."

"Fine."

Zachary released her hands and stood up straight, stepping back to give her enough space to slap him.

"Two slaps, and once you're done, we can sit down and talk properly."

Jane actually couldn't pinpoint when she had truly developed feelings for the man in front of her.

He always seemed cold and indifferent, as if he wanted nothing.

Not only was he unmoved by her bold words, but he also pushed her away with his sarcastic comments.

At that time, she dominate such a person.

But later on...

Thinking back, her own life was the most important.

Although she had indeed developed feelings for him, she was someone who had already faced death

once.

Charlotte had worked hard to save her, and she needed to live well.

She suppressed her emotions, but unexpectedly, that person took the initiative to come towards her.

"What else does Mr. Collins want to discuss with me?"

He had indeed fallen into her hands, but the hurtful words from before still echoed in her mind-

"Jane, the more you push, the more I dislike you. Let me be clear today. even if you were standing in front of me naked, I wouldn't be interested. I definitely wouldn't develop feelings for you." Jane had never offered her heart so openly before.

She wouldn't develop feelings for someone easily, because it meant giving them the chance to hurt her.

She had suffered enough throughout her life.

"Zachary, I don't want our situation to make things difficult for Charlotte and Frank, so I'll say it one last time. Don't cling to me anymore. Otherwise, it'll be awkward for everyone, and we can't even remain friends." Zachary was a smart person, he sensed the change in Jane's emotions very clearly.
