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 couldn’t accept it when my friends came to throw me a housewarming party. I smirked and looked down at him. “If you don’t leave, I’ll call Jessica.”

He wouldn’t 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. “Charlotte, I never wanted things to turn out like this, really.”

With him like this, my heart couldn’t help but soften.

At that moment when I wanted to speak, his phone, casually placed on the dining table, rang.

The caller ID displayed “Jessica“.

Such a sight sent shivers down my back and I immediately became sober. I pushed him away. “You’ve got a call.”

Coincidentally, Jack walked out of the kitchen. “Charlotte, everything’s almost cleaned up. I’ll take Tom home first.”

“I’ll see you off.”

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 didn’t let me bear the weight.

Jack turned to me with a gentle expression on his face. “Charlotte, are you okay?”

“Hmm?” I was a little dazed, then realized he had noticed I wasn’t in a good mood. I shook my head. “I’m fine.”

In the elevator, I suddenly remembered he had also drunk a little,

“Jack, did you call for a taxi? If not, I dan call one for you.”

“Don’t worry, I already did.” He smiled and said after a short pause, “You and Ryan are getting divorced?”

I lowered my head and nodded. “Yeah, we are.”

“Think it through, don’t let yourself regret it later,” he kindly reminded

1. me.

“I won’t regret my decision,” 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. “That’s good.”

“Jack.” As the elevator doors opened, I walked towards the car park. After giving it some thought, I asked, “How did you know what flavor of food I like?”

Although we were familiar with each other during university, I didn’t recall the two of us going out for meals privately.

“I treated you to a few meals in university, don’t you remember?” He chuckled lightly.

“Huh?” I was taken aback for a moment, then remembered. “Was it the time when I fainted from hypoglycemia, and Ryan asked you guys to buy me food?”

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.

“Ryan?” he asked subconsciously, then let out a big smile. “Yeah, that’s

when I discovered your taste preferences.”

“You’re very thoughtful.”

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. “Jack, thank you so much.”

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 Jack’s upbringing and thoughtfulness, he made sure that Leven in my most embarrassing moments, I could eat food that suited my taste.
