Chapter 1016

Author: Lean
They were heading back to their cozy little nest.

On the way, her phone rang. When she saw the caller ID, she slapped Zachary’s thigh.

“Oh no!”

Zachary looked confused.

“I forgot about Jordan!”

Jordan had mentioned that she would be filming, and Westley had been by her side the entire time to protect her.

Jane, preoccupied with her own matters, had assumed that with Westley around, nothing would go wrong.

Her return to the country had been a last-minute decision, and she had left in a hurry.

She was also dealing with the discomfort of her pregnancy.

All the emotions and tasks piling up caused her to completely forget.

Sure enough, when she answered the call, Jordan’s voice was full of grievance.

“Aren’t we good friends?”

“Yes, yes, we are,” Jane replied with an awkward cough. “Something urgent came up, so... I’m sorry.”

Jordan, however, was gracious. “I understand your situation is special. Just treat me to a meal to make up for it. I’ll be flying to Jeswood soon.”

    "I envy his fiancee so much!""You women are so shallow. Just because he’s buying some raviolis, you think he’s humbled himself for love. Why don’t you think about this—he’s the son of an affluent family. If he hadn’t picked someone from such a poor background, why would he come to this rundown place to buy these commoner foods?"As soon as the man finished speaking, he felt a sharp, cold gaze land on him.The people who had been enthusiastically discussing with him moments earlier suddenly avoided looking at him.But Zachary merely glanced at him.His raviolis were already packed, and he was eager to bring them back for Jane.He didn’t linger long, nor did he feel the need to waste his words on clueless fools like these.Besides, even if he explained, they probably wouldn’t understand—or even care.Meanwhile, Jane had been leaning against the car window, watching Zachary the whole time. When she saw him walking back, she opened the car door for him.“Hurry, get in.”Zachary

    Jane washed her face, took a moment to gather herself, then straightened up and hugged him."Stop reflecting on yourself already, hearing it makes my pregnancy symptoms worse."The tactic worked well, as she didn’t hear any more apologies from him afterward."I feel like eating an orange. Could you peel one for me?"Zachary immediately carried her to the sofa, tucked a blanket over her, and sat beside her to peel the orange.He meticulously removed every single white thread from the orange segments.Resting her chin on her hand, Jane watched him and teased, "You’re treating me even better now that I’m pregnant. Do you love the baby more than me?"Without hesitation, Zachary replied, "It’s because pregnancy is hard on you. If you hadn’t agreed to have the baby, I wouldn’t have kept—"Before he could finish, Jane kicked him, silencing him.He handed her the peeled orange.Jane couldn’t taste her mood anymore, so she focused on eating the orange.Zachary felt his teeth ache jus

    However, the test results showed nothing wrong.Even after being in a coma for those days, his body remained strong thanks to the nutritional IV.As long as he avoided alcohol and irritating foods, his gastritis wouldn't flare up.It certainly wouldn't become severe enough to cause this kind of reaction.Yet Zachary's vomiting was even more intense than her pregnancy nausea.Even though there was nothing left to throw up—not even stomach acid—if he kept going, he might end up vomiting bile.It really didn’t seem like the symptoms of someone perfectly healthy.So Jane contacted Tanner.After hearing her description, Tanner chuckled.Jane felt as though Tanner was gloating."Isn’t this great? He’s throwing up for you, so you can feel a bit better."Jane was taken aback.Over the time she had spent taking Zachary to the doctor, she truly hadn’t felt any discomfort herself.She had thought it was because she hadn’t eaten much, so her symptoms were temporarily subsiding."Dr.

    Jane leaned in for a sniff. "Smells so good."Zachary’s worries were unnecessary, she only took a few bites before losing interest.The rest ended up in his stomach.Which then found its way to the toilet, and finally, down the drain.After Zachary rinsed his mouth, Jane peeled an orange for him. "Try this, see if it helps."Zachary ate the orange directly from her hand.It was so sour it made his teeth ache.Still, it seemed to provide some relief.Jane poured him some water."You don’t need to take care of me, I can handle myself.""And I can handle myself too," Jane retorted. "Why are you always doing things for me, then?""It’s different—you’re pregnant."Zachary drank a sip of the water, mostly because she had poured it."I’m just throwing up a little," said Jane.She had experienced it before—constant retching, even with nothing left in her stomach. That kind of discomfort was hard to endure.His voice was hoarse by now, which showed just how bad it had gotten.At

    At the hospital.Rebecca listened to Sean's report.When she heard that Zachary had come to the hospital, she immediately panicked. "I knew that woman was bad luck! Ever since Zachary got together with her, he's been plagued with all sorts of misfortune and illness!"Eric hesitated before speaking. "Zachary went to see the doctor because of morning sickness?""What?"Rebecca couldn't believe her ears. "Do you even hear how ridiculous that sounds?"Sean chimed in, "It’s true."Rebecca was rendered speechless.Sean explained, "I consulted with an expert. This kind of situation is rare but does happen. If a husband deeply loves his wife, seeing her suffer during pregnancy can cause him to experience symptoms like morning sickness."At that moment, Rebecca felt like a beehive had exploded in her ears.All she could hear was a loud buzzing noise.It took her a long moment to recover before she scoffed."He’s such a good husband, isn’t he? I risked my life to give birth to him an

    The Collins family’s expressions all changed.Although Madam Collins had spoken so casually, deep down, she was certainly still displeased about Zachary marrying Jane.She had simply seen the deeper truth. Zachary was resolute about Jane.She also understood that Zachary was no longer someone they could control.But when this was bluntly laid bare, her chest still tightened.“What do you mean by that?” Rebecca pressed.Sean merely replied, “That’s all I can say. And that’s because of the bond we share as former master and servant. After all, now I must follow Mr. Collins’s orders.”The room fell into a prolonged silence.Madam Collins broke it with a soft chuckle.She looked at Rebecca and said, “You said he doesn’t acknowledge you as his mother, yet he could have quietly gone off to register the marriage without us knowing, but instead, he let Sean inform us.”Rebecca didn’t immediately react.Madam Collins clarified, “He specifically instructed Sean to pass the news to you

    “These are all the photos of landscapes and animals you’ve taken over the years?”“Yes, I didn’t have anything else to gift, but I thought the baby could experience these through pictures while young and then go see them in person when older.”“You’re so thoughtful! I’ll thank you on behalf of this little embryo, Auntie.”Jane genuinely liked it. After flipping through the album, she instinctively tried to pass it to someone nearby but then remembered that Zachary had gotten out of the car when Jordan got in. He was now riding in the vehicle behind them.She placed the album into the front passenger seat’s storage compartment and then started chatting with Jordan about her recent experiences.Jordan said, “Not much, really. Things went pretty smoothly overall. I gave all the photos to the media. I hope it can raise awareness and help save more girls. That place was hell on earth for them.”Jane nodded. “You did an amazing job.”After her praise, she asked, “What do you want to e

    It was the habit of someone accustomed to a high position."What’s wrong?" the man asked, his deep voice carrying a clear warmth."Look at you, acting so cheap. If you’re happy, just smile. Why pretend?"Frank, after all, was now happily settled.Seeing others in turmoil, he liked to tease them."No wonder you can’t win your wife back."Westley was rendered speechless.Jordan, not wanting to join the topic, quickly ran off.Frank joked, "See? Your wife just ran off again."Westley clenched his molars tightly.One by one, these happy people were taking turns mocking him."If you’re not going to help, at least don’t make things worse."Frank clicked his tongue and said, "Wow, the resentment is strong."Charlotte, holding Frank’s arm, tried to smooth things over. "That’s enough, Mr. Smith. Stop making fun of others."Westley was rendered speechless.‘Thanks. Appreciate that...’Charlotte added, "And stop mentioning Zachary’s pregnancy symptoms—it’s a sign of love."Frank chuckled. "If it’

    Westley was indeed struggling.But since he was the one who made a mistake, he felt he should bear the consequences.Jordan, however, wasn't thinking about it that way.Although Westley was holding back, showing some reaction yet not too much.Jordan felt that Westley didn’t look too good.Could it be...This wasn't an easy topic to bring up. She hesitated for a long time but still didn't say anything.Westley watched her face go through a series of expressions and could pretty much guess what she was thinking.He flicked her forehead."Stop overthinking. There's nothing wrong with me—I'm perfectly healthy. Alright, now that you're better, just rest for a few more days, and I'll prove it to you."Jordan immediately pulled the blanket over herself. "Get lost."Westley patted her lightly through the blanket. "The guest bedroom is really cold.""The bed also feels hard, not as comfortable as the master bedroom."Jordan poked her head out of the covers. "But weren't you the on

    Jordan didn't know what to say, so she just responded with a nod.Westley left the room and took another cold shower in the guest bedroom.But no matter what, he couldn't fall asleep. In the end, he got up and started smoking.His assistant saw that their boss spent the entire night sitting by the bed in the guest room, smoking.He started questioning life itself...Jordan didn't sleep well that night either and got up very early.She moved too quickly when she got out of bed, and the moment her foot landed on the carpet, a sharp pain shot through her. She lost her balance and fell back onto the bed.Westley walked in just in time to see this happen.He took quick steps toward her and asked, "Still uncomfortable? You need to go to the hospital.""No..." Jordan quickly waved her hands. "I just got up too fast."She slowly stood up and tested a few steps. "It's not as painful as yesterday.""Then let's apply the medicine first." Westley helped her sit down. "Three times a day.

    Jordan had no idea what to do.She looked at Westley, who didn't seem to have any intention of taking the lead.Thinking that he might still be holding a grudge over what she had said before, she hesitated for a few seconds before leaning in, slowly pressing her lips against his.She wasn't very skilled at kissing, so she tried to imitate the way he used to kiss her, tentatively extending her tongue.Westley's eyes darkened instantly. He tightened his grip on her waist, flipped her over, and took control.Everything happened so suddenly that Jordan wasn't prepared. She let out a small gasp, but it was quickly swallowed by his dominant kiss.However, she hadn't expected that this would be so painful."No..."Westley clenched his teeth. He had done everything to prepare, but...Now, stopping in this situation was even worse than pausing halfway before.Yet, seeing her furrowed brows, the tears in her eyes, and how much she was struggling to endure it, he forced himself to stop.

    Westley already knew what she meant, but he still asked, "Since when did you need me to sleep with you in order to fall asleep?"Jordan clutched his collar, lowered her head, and stayed silent for a long time.Westley played dirty—he bounced his leg slightly.Jordan quickly grabbed onto him to steady herself."What does your silence mean?"Seeing the mischief in his eyes, Jordan glared at him. "I order you to go to bed with me."Westley finally let a smile show. "Alright, I'll listen to you."Jordan curled up under the blanket, listening to the sound of running water from the bathroom.She had considered asking Jane for advice, but in the end, she felt that even with someone as close as her sister, this wasn't exactly an easy topic to bring up.Besides, she had already said those words out loud. Westley was smart—how could he not understand?Forget it. She wouldn't ask anyone. She would just wait for him.Westley took a long time in the shower.Normally, if he didn't take a

    Jane gave a thumbs-up. "That was fast.""But didn't you just come to tell me that he was mad?"Jordan replied, "I was the one overthinking. Today, I found him and just dragged him straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau to remarry. I didn't even give him a chance to speak. That means I took control of the situation. I'm very happy. He didn't seem that angry either. I'll apologize to him later."Jane teased with a meaningful tone, "How do you plan to apologize? You're a legally married couple now."Jordan was just thinking about pouring him a glass of water and sincerely apologizing.After all, their argument last night had been because of that issue.She wondered if bringing it up again today would just make things worse.So, she decided to do something else instead."Well..."Jane saw her hesitation and didn't push further. "Don't overthink it. Just go with the flow. Handle it however you want. I'm hanging up.""Okay."Jordan ended the video call and looked at herself in the m

    Westley took a bite but made no comment.Jordan saw his silence and tried it herself.The toast wasn’t really toasted.Jordan scratched her face awkwardly. "Um... how about I just order from the Summit?"She had just picked up her phone when Westley pressed it down."Wait."The man went into the kitchen and soon returned, taking off the apron she was wearing.Not long after, he had already finished cooking a few dishes.Since the toasts weren’t fully toasted, he toasted them again.Jordan looked at the beautifully plated and fragrant dishes and gave him a big thumbs-up, praising him without hesitation."Westley, you're amazing."Westley cast her a glance and replied coolly, "Not calling me an old fox anymore?"Jordan protested weakly, "No bringing up old grudges.""Alright."Westley said nothing more and continued eating in silence.Jordan didn't like this atmosphere.But she knew she was the one who had created it.She picked up some food for him. "Eat more, you’ve wo

    Jordan grabbed onto him and kicked a small rock at her feet.Westley didn't rush her and simply waited where he was.After a long silence, Jordan lifted her head, her gaze firm, and commanded, "I want to remarry you right now. You have to come with me to the Civil Affairs Bureau!"Westley looked at her indifferently and said nothing.Jordan pulled him toward the Civil Affairs Bureau.The man allowed her to drag him forward without resistance."Hello, we'd like to remarry."The staff member looked up and, upon seeing Westley, immediately stood up.In Nelana, Westley was somewhat well-known—except he was supposed to be dead.Now, seeing him standing there, fear overtook shock."Well..."Jordan had completely forgotten about that. She quickly explained, "He just happen to look like who you’re thinking and have the same name, but he's not the same person..."Westley let out a low chuckle.His assistant, sensing the situation, quickly went to speak with the senior executives.

    Leanne looked at the man sitting across from her.His expression was blank, exuding coldness, and he seemed obviously angry.She glanced at the caller ID, answered the call, and turned on the loudspeaker.Then, sensibly, she pushed the phone toward her cousin."Hey, Jordan. Congratulations! After all the twists and turns, we're still ended up being a family."Jordan thanked her for the blessing and immediately asked if she knew where Westley was.Leanne glanced across the table and let out a knowing chuckle."Jordan, Westley just proposed to you. Shouldn't you two be together?"Jordan fidgeted with her fingers and didn’t know what to say for a long time.She only asked if Leanne could get in touch with Westley.Leanne turned to ask for his opinion.Westley didn't react.She asked Jordan, "Jordan, is it urgent? If I have to find my cousin, it might take a while."Jordan checked the time."If you can reach him, tell him I'm waiting for him at the entrance of the Civil Affai

    Such a wonderful thing as a proposal happened today.Tonight should at least count as a wedding night, right?The assistant hadn't expected them to argue. He thought Westley might have gone out to buy something to use later."I'll take you to the supermarket.""Head back to the hotel."Westley gave an order in a cold voice, then opened the door and got into the back seat of the car.The assistant was completely confused but still drove toward the hotel.He had never seen a couple argue right after getting engaged.But as an assistant, it wasn't his place to ask questions.Jordan couldn't sleep.By the time she got up, she had two dark circles around her eyes.She was about to put on makeup when she thought about their fight last night.Would their remarriage even happen today?If not, there was no point in dressing up.She hesitated in front of the mirror for a long time before finally putting on makeup to cover the dark circles.But she still didn't look happy.After c
