I Bet My CEO Husband Will Regret

Anna couldn't see any sense in being sad now that she had finally decided to give up on Jackson. She was the one who wanted their marriage. Their bad ending was also her fault. There was no one else that she could blame other than herself.

She married into the prestigious Will family, so it was very troublesome to file for a divorce. She needed to consider many things, weigh the advantages and disadvantages, and take a long-term view of the repercussions on their families. It wasn't very pleasant!

Jackson felt her watching him. His head turned slightly, and their gazes met. Her long eyelashes and bright and beautiful eyes were so tempting to him. He felt irritated when he realized she was in a daze and was not really looking at him. "What are you looking at?" he asked coldly.

Anna blinked, shaking herself out of her stupor. "You. It's because you're so handsome." She smiled flirtatiously.

Jackson frowned. He had never met anyone like Anna. In Sam's words, she was sinfully attractive, like an angel and a demon combined.

He had to admit that it was true. She was a perfect blend of beautiful contradiction, both seductive and pure, her eyes as innocent as a rabbit's but also as charming as a fox's.

Even if she was sick, she was still restless.

His face clouded over, and his irritation increased. He handed Anna the half-cut pear directly.

Anna was speechless as she stared at the big pear in his hand. What was the matter with him?!

Earlier, it was Gina, and now it was his turn. These two lovers… They were really challenging her temper! Would he leave her alone if she let this pass? No, he wouldn't.

"I want to eat rabbit-shaped pear slices," she said emphatically, pushing the plate back to him.

He gave her a chilly stare and remained unmoving.

"Is this the way you repay someone's kindness? I can't feel any sincerity at all. Maybe I need to call your sweetheart back so she can personally repay her gratitude to me."

She ignored the way Jackson's expression turned even colder and went on speaking.

"You don't want her anywhere near me, but she wanted to thank me. I hope you will not regret it if I don't treat her kindly." Anna said lazily, leaning against the headboard of the hospital bed as she waited for his reaction.

Maybe it was the mention of Gina, or maybe it was because of her threat, but Jackson's eyes flashed with anger.

Anna's lips curled into a smile. The fake way they were getting along earlier was over. They were finally back to normal.

"You don't have to take care of me here, and Gina doesn't need to repay anything at all." She was ill and didn't want to put herself in a bad mood for such a trivial thing.

"I don't believe you." Jackson's voice dripped with contempt. He took the pear back and then continued to cut it.

Anna's eyes soured. She hurriedly turned her face away so he wouldn't see the tears she tried to blink away. They didn't speak again. Every time they talked, she only got angry and hurt. It was a waste of saliva.

It didn't take long before the plate was placed on her bedside table. Jackson went back to the sofa to continue his work. Anna stared at the neat rabbit-shaped pear slices but had no more appetite for them.

The hospital room was completely silent. The harmonious scene earlier seemed to have been a passing illusion.

He was absorbed in his work while she continued reading.

Sudden pain in the back of her hand pulled her attention away. She realized the IV was empty, and her blood had started flowing into its long tube. She rang the bell to call for a nurse.

One immediately arrived accompanied by Grandma Amy. The drip had long been empty, so the blood had clotted and stuck to the needle and the thin tube. The nurse needed to change it to a new one.

Grandma Amy couldn't help but scold her grandson for his indifference. "Is that how you take care of your wife?"

Jackson only frowned and silently watched the nurse attend to Anna.

It was really painful, but Anna didn't care. She was even able to smile at Grandma Amy. "It's not his fault. We talked for a while, and I forgot that the IV was running out."

Grandma sighed. "My useless grandson…." He didn't care about Anna but the silly girl still spoke for him. Grandma Amy was not happy. "It's better to rely on a wall than to rely on him. Does it hurt? How can you be so fascinated by reading a book?"

Anna only smiled and didn't say anything. It was better to read. She can get lost in words and let her mind wander freely. Otherwise, she would've already lost her temper.

It's better for her to feel the pain. The more painful, the better, so she would give up earlier. If she had given up earlier, she would have no more wishful thinking!
