Ex-husband’s Regret by Lean

Chapter 751

Zachary glanced at his watch, there was still some time left. He asked, "Let me hear it-what do the elders expect me to do? Marry her?"

Nina's eyes lit up with surprise, but she kept her head down, and no one noticed.

Sir Collins furrowed his brows. "It's just about taking responsibility, I'm not saying you should marry her. You still need to marry someone who can support you- someone who can help you if your career faces difficulties in the future." Nina understood, indeed, she couldn't hold any expectations for the Collins family.

Sir Collins had brought her back merely to allow her to see him off, covering up the guilt of separating them for years and of her near-misfortune abroad.

Rebecca's kindness toward her was based on her behaving well and understanding her place, as if she were just a non-blood relative. There was no hope for anything more with Zachary.

At this stage, they were merely considering the interests of the Collins family, regardless of her feelings.

She felt like a commodity, yet it didn't matter, Jane was lucky to be alive this time, and her future wouldn't be much better than Nina's.

At least she had grown up in the Collins family, while Jane, being neglected by her parents, could almost be considered an orphan.

Even knowing Charlotte wouldn't change much, Frank wouldn't go against the Collins family for her.

Though the Smith and Collins families had a long-standing relationship, the Collins family would never allow Frank to interfere in family matters and jeopardize their interests.

"I don't understand," Zachary said lightly. "What does it mean to take responsibility but not marry her?"

Sir Collins rapped his cane against the floor, clearly angered by Zachary's feigned ignorance.
