Drowning Him In Regret novel Chapter 65

Chapter 65 Lovesick

Jude quickly hung up the phone, a trace of impatience still lingering in his eyes.

He gave me an awkward smile and pulled out a ring box from his pocket. Inside were our wedding rings.

Before he could say anything, I spoke first. “Jude, I already said, I won’t accept something that someone else has worn.”

He had seen with his own eyes how Vivian wore the ring that day, and now he wanted to put it on me.

His hand froze mid air, clearly unsure of what to do next.

He stared at me without blinking, then sighed. “Ada, do we really have to end up like this?”

I didn’t understand what he was sad about. We ended up like this all because of him.

But thinking about the things I had done, I lowered my head. I guess I played a part in this too.

*Jude, let’s get divorced.” My tone was calm, like I was talking about something as mundane as what to have for dinner.

Once the thought of divorce surfaced, it lingered constantly in my mind.

Jude angrily tossed the ring into the back seat. “Ada, you really want a divorce that badly? Dorian came back, and now you suddenly want to leave me? Do you regret not being with him back in college?”

He brought it up again. I was getting annoyed and opened the door to leave.

Just then, his phone rang again. Vivian was persistently calling him.

There was a bit of impatience in Jude’s eyes, but also a trace of guilt. After all, Vivian was still the woman he cared about. He couldn’t just ignore her.

Sure enough, after a few seconds of hesitation, he picked up.

Vivian’s voice came through the phone, choked with sobs. “Jude, my allergy is getting worse. The doctor wants a family member here. Where are you?”

At the same time, I opened the car door and got into the taxi behind us.

I saw Jude get out of the car, calling after me, but it no longer mattered. He was Vivian’s man now, not mine.

Once we divorced, even that thin marriage certificate wouldn’t bind us anymore. He’d be free.

When I got back to Casey’s place, she had already finished washing up and made me a cup of hot chocolate.

She said, “Drink this quickly. Don’t catch a cold. Then go shower and rest.”

She looked nothing like the person at the police station. Her cheeks were rosy.

I hugged her tightly, then drank the hot chocolate in one gulp. With a friend this good, I didn’t need a man in my life.

That night, I slept unusually well. The next morning, I almost didn’t wake up in time.

I clocked in at work right on the dot. Ellen looked like she was about to explode. “Ada, thank god you’re here. Mr. Carson isn‘ tính

“So?” I looked at her, not understanding the urgency.

She quickly handed me a stack of project documents. “These all need Mr. Carson’s signature. They were supposed to be signed yesterday.”

She added, “But yesterday, Ms. Miller said he didn’t have time and would do it today. Now he’s not here, and he won’t pick up his phone.”

These projects were directly overseen by Jude. Without his signature, we couldn’t allocate manpower or funding.

I took the documents upstairs, and as expected, Jude wasn’t there.

Then Veronica, who hadn’t spoken to me proactively in a while, walked over.

She asked, “Mrs. Carson, we haven’t been able to contact Mr. Carson all morning. He’s not with you?”

I shot back, “You think he’d be with me?”

Veronica was one of Ewan’s people. On paper, she was to assist Jude. But in truth, she was there to supervise me and make sure I wasn’t misusing funds.

She didn’t like me from the beginning, and the feeling was mutual.

We stared at each other in silence for a moment before I picked up the phone and called Jude. To my surprise, it was quickly answered.

Vivian’s voice sounded. “Ada? You’re looking for Jude? He went to the doctor’s office to get my medical records.” “You’re still at the hospital?” I was confused. How could a mild allergic reaction require such a long stay?

Chapter 65 Lovesick

Vivian sounded smug “Jude was so worried something might go wrong He insisted I stay for cheer nation af sepse s staying with me too.”

She added, “If you need something, just tell me. I’ll pass the message.”

“You’ll pass it on? I don’t think so. Let me speak to Jude” My tone turned cold i was not happy at all

Jude rarely gave out his personal number, and when someone did call, it was always about something mortare

And yet he had Vivian answer the phone, ignoring work altogether, I was really starting to lose all understanding of him Vivian clearly didn’t like my attitude either. Her voice instantly turned aggressive. Are you the boss or is hat who reports order me around?”
