Ex-husband’s Regret (Ryan and Charlotte) novel Chapter 699

Chapter 699 

Zachary hadn’t really heard her previous words. He also didn’t catch the latter part clearly. 

Faintly, it seemed he heard the word “want.” 

He pressed her wandering hands down and spoke again, his voice already thick with desire, “If you could just speak properly, I wouldn’t have to do this.” 

‘Oh, now it’s my fault too.‘ 

Jane took the opportunity to bite his Adam’s apple. 

Zachary’s grip on her waist tightened suddenly, causing her to gasp in pain. 

She unhappily said, “Let go.” 

Zachary pulled her tighter into his embrace, resting his chin on her shoulder. 

It seemed like he sighed in resignation, but Jane detected a faint hint of triumph in it. 

“If you keep this up, I’ll just take it as you’ve forgiven me and that you like me.” 

‘Listen to this ridiculous logic. It was no wonder his family was involved in both politics and business,‘ thought Jane. 

After cursing him inwardly, Jane continued where he left off, “I get it now. Mr. Collins just enjoys the feeling of me chasing after you. No matter how much you hurt me, I’ll still come running, right?” 

Zachary paused, creating some distance between them. He looked into her eyes, his tone serious. “I told you before that the things I said that made you uncomfortable were wrong. I know an apology doesn’t mean much. Those words are like spilled water, you can’t take them back. So, you can yell at me and say the worst things to vent your anger. I’ll take everything you’ve got.” 

Jane cocked her brows, her eyes glimmering with mischief, resembling an enchanting fairy, incredibly alluring. 

She asked, “You’ll take everything?” 

Zachary’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he nodded. 

Jane laughed, articulating every word. “You… can’t… satisfy… me…” 

Seeing Zachary’s ever–changing and unpleasant expression brought her a sense of satisfaction. 

“As a man, you can’t even handle this much, yet you keep complaining to me. I prefer a man who is better in bed. Sorry, Mr. Collins, you’re getting old.” 

Zachary gritted his teeth, holding her down as she attempted to rise. “You weren’t saying that when you were flirting with me. You said I had a nice nose, long fingers, distinct muscles, smooth lines, and a sharp, protruding Adam’s apple–clearly, a formidable person.” 

Jane had indeed said that, and she still smiled as she recalled it. “It was just flirtatious banter, don’t take it seriously, Mr. Collins.” 

Zachary applied a little more pressure with his hand. “Do you say that to others too?”

Jane flicked her long hair. “Of course, I use the same lines on anyone I flirt with–it’s all about willing participants.” 

As she spoke, she playfully tapped his chin. “Alright, Mr. Collins, we’ve wasted enough time here. I have things to do, so I won’t keep you company.” 

Zachary’s grip didn’t waver. 

Jane’s smile faded slightly. “If you’re bored, go find your Nina.” 

Zachary didn’t catch it at first. “Since when did Nina become mine?”
