Ex-husband’s Regret

When Jane saw Roy again on the video doorbell she cursed in annoyance.

She didn't plan to respond.

But the doorbell kept ringing.

She called security to ask about the situation and received a shocking reply.

"You said he moved to my neighborhood?"

"Yes, Miss Greenwood."

Jane felt a surge of anger rising, causing the bump on her forehead to throb,

"He's living right across from me?"Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

The security guard hadn't anticipated this situation either.

Rich people truly had enviable resources.

"Miss Greenwood, I'm sorry, but he is now a property owner. I can't force him to leave. If he continues to bother you, I still recommend you call the police, or if it's inconvenient for you, I can call them." "No need, I'll handle it myself."

Jane hung up the phone and opened the door.

The first thing she said to Roy was, "Where is Zachary?"

Roy moved aside.

Jane walked across the hallway and knocked hard on the door.

Her continuous motions displayed her impatience.

The door opened suddenly, and her hand almost struck the man's face.

Jane withdrew her hand, feeling no remorse, and asked him with a straight face, "Why did you move across from me?"

Zachary casually adjusted the tie of his bathrobe and replied, "I don't need to report to Miss Greenwood where I live. After all, we have broken up."

Jane glanced at his black bathrobe.

Her gaze moved upward to his completely dry hair.

He could really put on an act.

"Mr. Collins, it's just a breakup. Don't be so clingy, all this will only make me want to

distance myself from you even more."

Zachary remained unruffled, as if he didn't care.

In reality, his nerves were all taut.

His fingers tightened on the tie of the robe until they turned white.

"Miss Greenwood, are you unable to let go of me?"

He looked at her calmly. "Otherwise, why such a big reaction just because I live across from you?"

If Jane said she had completely moved on, that would surely be a lie.

So, she didn't want to see him all the time.

Knowing that the person she liked lived across the hall meant there was a high chance they would run into each other whenever she left her apartment. Perhaps she would have to take the same elevator up regularly.

How could she calm down and face her own feelings in that situation?

She knew all too well about the lingering ambiguity after such a breakup.

Maybe one drunken night, they would end up back in bed together.

But she couldn't control Zachary, she would have to find another place to live.

This home had too many traces of Zachary, so it was good for her to stay away for a while.

"Mr. Collins, you should go see a doctor. Such imagination will require a psychologist."

After saying that, she turned and swiftly returned home.

The masseur finished eating and didn't leave immediately but stayed to watch a film.

By evening, she and the masseur went out.

She didn't take any luggage but carried a black backpack with some cosmetics and a change of clothes.

If she had brought a suitcase, Zachary, would definitely track her down.

She had learned enough about his character during this time.

Roy initially went to deliver dinner but rushed to report to Zachary when he saw Jane leaving with the masseur.

Zachary grabbed his coat and chased after them.

But just as he was about to catch up, he received a call from home.

He had to return home first.

Jane drove the masseur back to the store.

She didn't see Zachary catching up, but she felt a car following her.

She turned the steering wheel and headed toward Region Gardens.

There were currently two apartments in Region Gardens.

Yasmin was at the other apartment with the child, so staying there for a few days wouldn't be a problem.

This way, she wouldn't have to see Zachary every day.

However, while waiting at a set of traffic lights, she received a call from Michael
