Ex-husband’s Regret

Because she turned around and didn't see Zachary's figure.

The elevator ascended, and Michael kept talking to her.

But she felt a headache and so her replies were that sincere.

However, Michael didn't mind and kindly helped her back to her room.

He guided her to sit on the sofa and went to get her some water.

Then he made her bed while he took a blanket to sleep on the sofa in the living room.

Suddenly, Jane felt as if she had sobered up. She said, "Michael, I don't want to act anymore."

A lengthy silence ensued.

Michael stood in place with the blanket, looking at Jane.

But his eyes were filled with grievance.

Jane rubbed her face. "I really appreciate it. You've been very good to me, but our relationship can't progress further, so I don't want to hold you back. Your job is acting, you don't need to do that in real life. Just be yourself." Michael tightened his grip on the blanket, his lips moved slightly.

He wanted to ask why but felt it unnecessary.

The answer was already clear.

He wanted to find reasons to continue acting as Jane's boyfriend, thinking that over time, she would surely come to like him.

But deep down, he understood that this was impossible.

At first, Jane sought him out for amusement, and to spend more time with her, he played along, pretending to be experienced, saying it was just for fun

But in truth, he had liked her the moment he first saw her.

Her beauty was one aspect.

Mainly, it was her carefree and passionate personality that captivated him.

He had always carried the burden of his family, spending all his time making money to support his studies and pay for his grandmother's medical care.

His light had faded away in his teenage years.

Just when he thought that light might return, it was swallowed by darkness again.

"You should sleep in the bed, this room is yours now. I go boo another one. You've had a tough day, rest well."

Jane didn't wait for his response and got up to leave.

But as she reached the door, something caught her dress.

"Jane, do you think I'm especially useless, so..." Michael choked on his words, pausing for two seconds before continuing, "I really am useless. When Zachary bullied you, I couldn't help you. I could only watch you get hurt. I'm just too weak. I don't have his background, I'm not even as strong as he is. It's understandable that you don't like me, I really don't have anything worth liking."

When Jane first met Michael, she didn't have any feelings for him.

He took the initiative, pretending to be a worldly playboy.

She just wanted to have some fun.

After spending time together, she realized he wasn't as he portrayed himself.

He was a decent kid, simply forced by life's circumstances.

At that time, she seemed to see her former self, working various jobs just to afford her education.

For a moment, she truly considered trying to have a serious relationship with him.

But feelings weren't something she could control.

Love had no logic.

"Michael, you're a good person." Jane turned to look at him seriously. "Don't belittle yourself, you're a great person. But you're just not suitable for me, so I'm sorry. I can't give you any response. We should stop here."

She pulled her clothes free from his grasp, opened the door, and walked away without looking back.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

The sound of the door closing was loud and clear.

It felt like they had been separated by a vast divider.

Michael thought his relationship with Jane had ended there.

But he never expected that fate would give him another chance... Chapter 719
