Ex-husband’s Regret

Jane's decision to leave Jeswood with Michael wasn't due to her deep trust in him. Rather, she suddenly felt that even living in Region Gardens, there would still be opportunities to run into Zachary.

Frank wouldn't completely block Zachary.

That guy always seemed to occasionally take action to appease Charlotte, but he was actually being neutral.

So, she wanted to get a little further away.

Of course, there was another reason for going to Michael's hometown. she wanted to uncover the truth about that night.

She could wait for Zachary to investigate, but the timeline was uncertain.

She sensed that Michael wanted to tell her something but was holding back.

Once they arrived in his hometown, she planned to extract the information.

Larecton was a picturesque and comfortable city.

Michael returned home because his grandmother was gravely ill and wanted to spend her last days in her hometown.

Additionally, part of the film he was filming happened to be shot in Larecton.

While Jeswood was nearly covered in snow, Larecton remained warm.

Except for the slight chill in the mornings and evenings, midday sunshine allowed one to comfortably sit in the courtyard without feeling hot. Madam Hall had gone out early.

When Jane woke up, she found herself alone in the house.

Michael must have gone to the film crew.

The two trusted her quite a lot.

After all, aside from being beautiful and comfortable, there was nothing to steal in this small courtyard.

"Jane," Madam Hall said as she entered. "I dug up some potatoes and mushrooms. I'll make you roast potatoes and mushrooms for lunch."

In the countryside, Madam Hall cooked using a wood-burning stove.

She would fry and boil on top while roasting potatoes underneath.

The aroma of the roasted potatoes was especially inviting.

Jane reminisced about her childhood.

Most of the time, it was tough, but her neighbor's grandmother would cook the same way and would give her roasted potatoes to eat.

However, she had no talent for cooking herself

Starting a fire, on the other hand, was her strong suit.

"I'll help you," she said.

Madam Hall washed the mushrooms and brought them in with the potatoes.

Once in the kitchen, Jane had already started the fire.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Previously, Madam Hall's understanding of Jane had come from Michael's descriptions.

Now, having returned home to give up treatment, she began to interact with Jane.

This girl had a good temperament, worldly yet innocent, she was truly a wonderful young lady.

No wonder her grandson liked her so much.

"Michael always tells me he made a mistake that hurt someone who trusted him," Madam Hall continued. "I advised him to clarify things and apologize to gain forgiveness, but he said it wasn't the right time yet. Jane, I see that among Michael's friends, you're the only one who truly cares for him. If you know anything, could you please share it with me? I've relied on Michael, and I don't want to see him unhappy before I leave."

Jane was pragmatic.

Michael had made a mistake, but it shouldn't implicate his grandmother.

Moreover, Madam Hall was kind and treated her well, never asking about her reasons for coming and even preparing good food for her.

At her age, facing the end of life, she remained cheerful, not blaming anyone, and continued to treat the world with kindness.

But everyone must age and leave, it wasn't possible to live forever.

So, Jane spoke honestly.

After listening, Madam Hall said, "This matter was indeed Michael's fault. Jane, when he gets back, I will talk to him and urge him to apologize to you, explaining everything in detail about that day." Jane nodded. "Thank you, Madam Hall."

"I feel ashamed for raising such an immature grandson."
