He also knew why things had turned out this way. 

Because he was the one who had caused the situation today. 

“You just need to tell me what will make you feel better.” 

Jane smiled, but it was merely a slight curve of her lips, her beautiful face showed no hint of joy. 

“Mr. Collins, why seek a fight with me when you have such a considerate and gentle childhood sweetheart?” 

Even if Zachary was clever, he couldn’t understand how the topic suddenly shifted to Nina. 

“I only have a bit of an emotional connection with her from growing up together, it’s hardly enough to call her a childhood sweetheart, let alone a true love. Who told you that?” 

Jane couldn’t possibly keep this from Charlotte, so Frank would explain the truth to Charlotte. 

It was impossible for Frank to have created this misunderstanding. 

He hadn’t considered that Nina was involved in this. 

Initially, he thought he and Jane had drifted apart because of the hurtful things he had said, and now, if he was suffering, it was entirely his own fault. 

“Is it Charlie?” 

He couldn’t think of anyone else so foolish. 

Jane looked at Zachary for a moment before saying, “Zachary, what you’re doing now is no different from how I used to cling to you. Since I could give up because of your cold words, why can’t you give up because I slapped you? Has no one ever slapped you, Mr. Collins?” 

Zachary had also had quite a bit to drink that evening. 

Though it wasn’t excessive, his bad mood amplified the effects of the alcohol. 

He barely grasped her point, and she had already brought up something new. 

“I deserved them. I shouldn’t have hurt you like that.” 

That time outside the shop, when he accidentally overheard her on the phone with Charlotte talking about her ex–boyfriend, he realized Jane seemed able to let go but could also be very passionate. 

When she gave her heart to him, it had hurt her deeply. 

“I just didn’t expect…” 

“You didn’t expect that I was serious about you and wasn’t just toying with your feelings,” Jane interrupted 

him. 

Zachary pressed his aching forehead, “Jane, you can hit me, scold me, do whatever you need to vent your anger.” 

His willingness to lower his status to that extent exceeded Jane’s expectations.
