Ex-husband’s Regret

But there were many people who felt it was a shame.

My mom was famously talented, a naturally gifted actress who became well-known from a supporting role.

She gained a lot of favor from the audience.

Many waited for years to hear about her return, and now that she was withdrawing again, her fans had been hoping for her comeback.

Moreover, my mom's injuries had mostly healed, so they wouldn't affect her ability to act or attend events.

But she doesn't want to show her face at all.

"I want to try a different approach. I've slowly started handing over the company's matters to Joanne, and now I just want more time to spend with you and Sparrow."

Jane went to book a venue for Charlotte's birthday and for Sparrow to be introduced to everyone.

The place she found was special because the main hall connected to a small hall.

No worries about crowds, during the main event, the small hall would still have a view.

Just as she was about to pay the deposit, she received a call from Frank.

"What? Then I can't book this venue. How about we find a grassy area? We can invite as many people as we want. An outdoor event would be perfect since the weather won't be too hot. A little cool is fine, with so many people drinking, it'll warm up." Frank trusted Jane with the venue arrangements.

He had only one request."Don't let it slip."

Jane quickly promised, "I can be quick-tongued, but for things like this, I'm always tight-lipped. Llove surprises!"

Frank hung up and asked Alan, "Has the ring arrived?"

Dinner was just served when I heard movement in the elevator, so I got up to open the door for Frank.

1 I also brought him some slippers.

Frank cocked his brows. "Your enthusiasm is a bit scary."

J shot him a glance. "Then don't wear them."

Frank chuckled, changed into the slippers, and wrapped his arms around me as we walked inside. "So, what's the good news?"

"What's wrong with me being nice to you?" I retorted. "Should I treat you coldly from now on?"

Frank playfully pinched my cheek. "Either way is fine. You're gorgeous no matter what face you put on."

Hearing that made me blush, and I wriggled out of his embrace.

Frank went to the bathroom, washed his hands, and came out to hold Sparrow.

"Have you missed your dad?"

Sparrow reached out to grasp at the air as Frank leaned down a bit.

Sparrow's hand landed on his face, and she grinned widely.

Frank bounced her a couple of times. "Looks like you're a little troublemaker, just like your mom."

I shot him a glare.

He smirked, put Sparrow down, sat beside me, and began feeding me.

"Don't be jealous. Here, have something to eat."

I was about to respond when he suddenly leaned closer, lowering his voice intentionally and gripping my ear tightly.

"I know my wife misses me too."

I certainly didn't have his thick skin. To avoid blushing, quickly changed the subject.

"This year we'll celebrate my birthday and Sparrow birth together. Jane said she'd make the arrangements, and I agreed, just wanted to let you know." Frank nodded. "Do it however you want, as long as you're happy."

Speaking of Jane, I told him about Zachary faking his illness.

Frank placed food on my plate while drying his hands and said, "It's not fake."

"What?" I was puzzled. "But in this weather, with his health condition, it's hard to catch a fever, right?"All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Even though it was after the start of autumn, the temperature was still around 35 degrees Celsius.

Suddenly, something came to mind. "If he made himself sick, that's also faking it."

Frank laughed. "I can see you have a grudge against him."

I shook my head. "Not really. He has helped us a lot, but..."
