Chapter 26
Thinking back, I found such a thought ridiculous.
On my wedding night, I was left alone. Several times on my birthday, my husband was absent. The gifts I longed for were given to others. Even on the day of my prenatal checkup, my husband went to accompany someone else.
Now that we reached the point of divorce, he couldnât accept it when my friends came to throw me a housewarming party. I smirked and looked down at him. âIf you donât leave, Iâll call Jessica.â
He wouldnât be able to handle the situation if Jessica cam
ver.
Ryan suddenly tightened his grip around my waist, resting his forehead on my chest, his voice was hoarse. âCharlotte, I never wanted things to turn out like this, really.â
With him like this, my heart couldnât help but soften.
At that moment when I wanted to speak, his phone, casually placed on the dining table, rang.
The caller ID displayed âJessicaâ.
Such a sight sent shivers down my back and I immediately became sober. I pushed him away. âYouâve got a call.â
Coincidentally, Jack walked out of the kitchen. âCharlotte, everythingâs almost cleaned up. Iâll take Tom home first.â
âIâll see you off.â
I glanced at the tall figure on the balcony answering the phone, suppressing the inexplicable annoyance. After getting Jane into the bedroom, I helped Jack to support Tom, who was unconscious, downstairs. However, Jack didnât let me bear the weight.
Jack turned to me with a gentle expression on his face. âCharlotte, are you okay?â

âHmm?â I was a little dazed, then realized he had noticed I wasnât in a good mood. I shook my head. âIâm fine.â
In the elevator, I suddenly remembered he had also drunk a little,
âJack, did you call for a taxi? If not, I dan call one for you.â
âDonât worry, I already did.â He smiled and said after a short pause, âYou and Ryan are getting divorced?â
I lowered my head and nodded. âYeah, we are.â
âThink it through, donât let yourself regret it later,â he kindly reminded
âI wonât regret my decision,â I answered earnestly.
During the past couple of days, I had asked myself repeatedly if I would regret my decision later. The answer had always been no.
Jack nodded thoughtfully. âThatâs good.â
âJack.â As the elevator doors opened, I walked towards the car park. After giving it some thought, I asked, âHow did you know what flavor of food I like?â
Although we were familiar with each other during university, I didnât recall the two of us going out for meals privately.
âI treated you to a few meals in university, donât you remember?â He chuckled lightly.
âHuh?â I was taken aback for a moment, then remembered. âWas it the time when I fainted from hypoglycemia, and Ryan asked you guys to buy me food?â
If this had been brought up during our university days, I might have felt. a bit sensitive and inferior. But now, after so many years, I could already take care of myself. I could face my past without any problems.
âRyan?â he asked subconsciously, then let out a big smile. âYeah, thatâs
when I discovered your taste preferences.â
âYouâre very thoughtful.â
I smiled.
Thinking back to my university days, I realized Jack was telling the truth. Whenever it was him bringing me food, it had always been dishes that I liked.
Generally, few guys were as thoughtful as him.
I looked at Jack gratefully. âJack, thank you so much.â
At that time, I had no choice, even if I had money, I could only choose the cheapest dishes, regardless of whether they suited my taste. But because of Jackâs upbringing and thoughtfulness, he made sure that Leven in my most embarrassing moments, I could eat food that suited my taste.
