Chapter 101

Author: Lean
Tears streamed down my face in an instant as I tremblingly took the velvet box.

Opening it, I saw two brilliant jade sculptures. One had floating flower patterns, the other did not.

This grade of jadeite was hard to come by. It showed how much Grandpa cared.

I carefully closed the lid and took a deep breath. "When did Grandpa find out about my pregnancy?"

He knew long ago, but to take care of my emotions, he never asked me.

Grandpa had passed away, but I still felt how much he cared.

Albert said, "After the last family banquet, Mr. William had someone check your medical records... Don't blame him. He was only afraid of your health problems and worried about you intentionally hiding it from him."

"Why would I blame..." I cried harder. "I only blame myself."

If I had told Grandpa earlier, he could have been happier for a while longer.

He didn’t need to be so careful and afraid to even ask me.

"Bringing an heir to the Frost family is already a good thing. Even if the old man has

    I was momentarily stunned.I almost forgot about this matter.Grandpa had passed away, and Ryan, as the head of the Frost family, naturally had to move in.I freed myself from his grasp and compromised. "Forget it then."Later that evening, the servants prepared dinner, and Albert came to call us downstairs to eat.The vast old mansion seemed to be functioning in an orderly manner as usual.However, everyone's expressions were somewhat solemn.After dinner, I returned to my room to wash up and fell into a deep slumber.For two whole days, I had hardly closed my eyes. I was tired but couldn’t sleep.Now that everything had settled down, I slept particularly soundly, waking naturally only the next morning.Ryan was no longer there.These days, the company had been extremely busy, with rival companies trying to take advantage of this time to strike.When I arrived at work, I received many strange looks along the way.Although Ryan had promised not to have any more contact wit

    I stared intently at the screen.One photo showed the side of Jack and me at the concert.The other captured us leaving, his arm seemingly draped around my shoulder from behind.Seeing the second photo, I suddenly understood why I had barely been bumped into after almost falling that day.It turned out Jack's hand had been protecting me from behind...I didn’t know to laugh or cry. "This person's imagination and logical reasoning skills are quite impressive.""Jack is so attentive to you, no wonder people are speculating." Jane remarked, "In my opinion, he's more reliable than Ryan.""Don't talk nonsense." I took a sip of hot tea. "He has someone he likes, and he's liked her for many years.""Who does he like? Why hasn't he brought her out for us to see?""I don't know. I guess when he succeeds in pursuing her, he'll bring her out."I kept silent about Jack liking someone who was already married.After all, it was his privacy, and it was somewhat... unethical. The fewer peop

    She exerted tremendous force, her meticulously manicured nails digging deep into my skin, burning with a fiery pain.Hearing her words, Jane's face changed instantly. She wanted to rush forward to pull me away, but Jessica held onto my wrist tightly, refusing to let go.Her eyes were almost crazed, tainted with a coldness. "Didn't you understand? I told you to call Ryan.""Okay." Jane hesitated because of my pregnancy, not daring to forcefully pull me away. She had no choice but to compromise. "I'll call him now, just let go of Charlotte.""No way!"Jessica dragged me out of the shopping center, walked a bit further, and in front of us was the bustling main road with cars passing by.I recalled the sight of Ryan covered in blood last time, feeling a chill down my spine.Jessica... she might really be capable of dragging me into something as extreme as dying together.Jane's face turned pale. She had already dialed the phone. "Don't be impulsive, don't hurt Charlotte.""Put it

    The next moment, I fell hard to the ground in pain...The pain made my head spin.My knees hurt, my arms hurt, my stomach... also hurt.I parted my lips to call out his name, but I saw him anxiously holding Jessica, who had also been hit by the car. He shouted urgently and angrily, "Are you trying to get yourself killed?"Although it was an angry question, his eyes were full of fear and concern.Then, he took out his phone and dialed a number, his fingers trembling, "Gary, come over right away!""Charlotte!"Everything happened in an instant. Jane was probably even more stunned than I was. Once she reacted, she dashed through the traffic and ran over quickly, even losing one of her high heels.Her tears fell heavily. She wanted to help me but was afraid of worsening my injuries. Trembling, she said, "Charlotte... don't be afraid..."I felt something warm slowly flowing out of my body, and with the last of my strength, I grasped Jane's hand, "It hurts... Jane, it hurts so much.

    It felt as if my heart had been torn apart.Tears no longer came, and my voice trembled weakly. "I have no husband, no family... Please, you must save my child.""Mm..." The nurse glanced between my legs with a troubled expression, but eventually said, "We will do our best."Hearing these words from a medical staff, I breathed a slight sigh of relief.But as soon as I was lifted onto the operating table and the doctor asked about the situation, he immediately said, "Call the anesthesiologist, prepare for emergency uterine evacuation."I stared at the glaring surgical light with wide eyes, my eyes dry and painful.My ankle-length dress was lifted by the doctor, who seemed to ask me something, but my brain buzzed and I had no other choice.I felt a slight sting on the back of my hand, and instantly lost consciousness, sinking into darkness."Mommy.""Mommy.""I’m leaving, Mommy doesn't want me anymore..."Watching the small figure drift further and further away from me, I sudd

    The sudden barrage of questions left me stunned.I rubbed my throbbing abdomen and spoke palely, "What did you say?""She had a miscarriage!"Ryan pointed towards the direction of the hospital room, his eyes filled with cold intensity. "She lost her child! The doctor said it will be very difficult for her to have children in the future! Charlotte, are you satisfied?"His questioning shook me to the core. My throat felt like a sponge soaked with water, lips curling bitterly before I managed to speak. "She had a miscarriage?"‘But... I had a miscarriage too, Ryan.’The blood that flowed from my body was our child, the child I had earnestly anticipated for so long.I had always thought that even if this disastrous marriage ended one day, I could still have a child to accompany me.But now, there was nothing left.It seemed... there was nothing worth looking forward to anymore.His words blamed me for Jessica's "nonsense", which caused me to lose everything. But in the end, I was

    I paused for a moment, feeling an indescribable sadness welling up inside me.The whole world knew that I loved him. There was no room left in my heart for anyone else, yet he always thought I loved someone else.If it were in the past, I would have wished to take my heart out and show it to Ryan, saying, "Look, it's filled with your name." But now I can't do that anymore.Even if I were to take it out, I doubt I could find his name on it. All that remains was devastation.On the way back to Jane's house, Jane looked at me with concern, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "Why didn't you tell him that you also had a miscarriage?""It wouldn't make any difference."I leaned against her shoulder, clutching my stomach, my voice feeble. "To exchange it for a moment of his change of heart, and then what?"I had done such things too many times already. Trying again and again to reconcile, only to end up utterly ruined each time.But this time, the cost was even heavier.

    Just like my marriage with Ryan, after three full years of living together day and night, being close companions, we could sever ties with just a few suitcases."Ms. Wilson."At noon, Nancy knocked and entered, holding her brightly lit phone with a complex expression, hesitating as she spoke, "So... you know my idol?"I knew she meant Jack and smiled. "Yes, didn't I tell you before? He and I were classmates in university.""When did he return to the country?""Just recently."As I packed things up, I replied, "I was thinking after things have settled, I'll introduce you to him.""Weren't you both going to a concert together? Why didn't you invite me?""What are you talking about?"I instinctively explained, "I was stood up that day and happened to run into him at the entrance, so we watched the concert together.""Really?"Seeing her unusual expression, I couldn't help but ask, "Really. What’s wrong?""Nothing, just saw something on the forum, thought maybe you and him were

    Buck suddenly appeared and started the car, leaving the airport.He even "thoughtfully" raised the partition.The back seat was sectioned off into a small space.No matter how spacious the interior of the car was, it still felt narrow compared to the vastness outside.Jordan would touch Westley even if she moved a little.She was annoyed by his constant pestering.She raised her hand and slapped him.The slap was so sudden that Westley's face turned to the side.However, when he turned back, there wasn't the slightest hint of anger.Not even a trace of surprise showed on his face.He said slowly, "You can keep hitting me until you feel better."Jordan hadn't slapped him to resolve the rift between them.The issues between them weren't something that a few slaps could solve."Westley, why do you keep forcing me? It was you who neglected me before, and now you say you like me and insist on clinging to me. That's still one-sided.""Do you even treat me as a person?"Westley

    Jasmine didn't immediately understand what she had said wrong.But she really wanted to keep working with Jordan, so she suppressed her curiosity and didn't press further.Jordan saw Jasmine's dejected expression and realized she might have spoken too harshly.After all, Jasmine didn't know the whole story and was simply shipping the "couple" out of pure excitement."Me and him..."Jordan was still someone who didn't like to talk about her personal life, especially about this failed relationship."I wasn't targeting you. Sorry, my tone was off earlier.""No, no, no." Jasmine waved her hands quickly. "Ms. Hickey, you weren't wrong. I completely understand—it was my fault for not respecting boundaries."Jasmine was a professional and a genuinely good person.Truth be told, Jordan wasn't eager to let her go."How about I treat you to a meal?""Sure!"Jasmine had heard rumors that Jordan never gave discounts, not even to her own parents if they hired her for photography—they ha

    Westley felt that the younger man had just frightened his wife. Damn it.With her goal achieved, Jordan fell silent again.She thought to herself, ‘Westley isn’t as clever as others think at all. He didn't even realize I was using him.’How could Westley not know?It was just that, as long as she was willing to say a word to him—no matter what it was—he felt happy.Jordan had no intention of staying here any longer.After arriving at the hotel, she washed her face with cold water to calm herself down, and then she checked out to return to Nelana.When Westley found out, he intercepted her at the door."It won't hurt to wait a little longer. Rest for a couple more days before heading back. Besides, aren't you at least going to see the result?"Jordan had no interest in looking at the result.She only wanted to return to her grandfather's old house, to sleep soundly.In her dreams, she could talk to her grandfather, lean into his embrace, and draw warmth from him.Westley did

    She just wanted to escape from this place and hide somewhere safe.Because of this, the familiar light pear blossom fragrance on Westley's body made her neither push him away nor leave his embrace.In fact, she even held onto him a little tighter.Sensing her reliance on him, Westley held her even closer, as if he wanted to merge her into his very bones.They were almost at the car when the younger man rushed forward to block their way.Westley's cold, piercing gaze fell on the younger man's ankle.He immediately realized that this scumbag had been faking his injury."Buck," he said.Buck appeared instantly and pinned the younger man to the ground.The younger man, however, was unbothered. "There's no way Westley would appear in a place like this. And dressed so casually? You couldn't possibly be the famous head of the Howard family. Trying to impose as Westley? You've reached the end of your rope."When Westley was in a good mood, he might have humored a fool like this.But

    It was the 21st century, yet there were still such retards around.This was the first time she had encountered someone blatantly staging an accident.And, if she wasn't mistaken, the person in front of her was the leader of this boy band.Some people's voices were naturally gifted—either deep and resonant or low and attractive.It was difficult for others to imitate.Take Westley, for example.His rich, mellow voice had been honed through years of practicing a London accent.It also had something to do with the experiences he had accumulated over the years.When she was younger, it was hard not to be drawn to Westley.Because of this, she never liked younger men.Especially those who hit every one of her triggers."You're quite bold. You've shown me the diversity of species. Are you trying to rip me off? Dream on." Jordan pointed to her shoulder. "A camera. I recorded everything you just did. If you don't want to lose your fanbase, you'd better get lost right now."The youn

    The staff couldn't give up.This was an order from the Howard family. If she couldn't convince Mrs. Howard to get into first class, her job would be on the line."Sorry, this cannot be refunded. But if you insist on sitting in economy, you can do so at the price of a first-class ticket. It's up to you."Although it wasn't her money, it still felt wasteful.Someone like Westley, who had no shortage of money, wouldn't understand how difficult it was to earn money."Alright, let's go."Jasmine was much more excited than Jordan."Ms. Hickey, this is my first time in first class! When I first saw your work, I loved it, and now, I can be your assistant. I will definitely do my best!"Jordan was troubled and didn't feel like talking much."I'll sleep for a while. Wake me up when we arrive.""Okay."Jasmine had a feeling that the upgrade was done by Westley.She had seen his watch—a limited edition, priceless.

    She became more and more agitated.Her face and neck turned red with anger.Tears began to fall uncontrollably as her emotional distress took over.She wiped her face forcefully and then motioned for him to leave.Westley handed her a piece of tissue, but Jordan didn't take it."Leave."Westley's lips pressed together slightly, and his deep voice carried a strong tone of apology."I acknowledge all the mistakes I've made, all the things I've said. I know that the harm I've caused you can't be fixed in a day, but Jordy, you can hit me, curse me, order me to work like a servant, but asking me to give up on you, that’s something I can't do."Jordan opened the door. Though she didn't say anything, her intention for him to leave was clear.Westley stood in front of her. "The interviewees weren't as good as me. I won't accept you rejecting me because of our personal relationship. I'm starting work now."Jordan couldn't help but laugh angrily. "Westley, do you look like an assistant
