Chapter 1020

Author: Lean
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 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’

    After all, most marriages were alliances based on mutual interests, with little emotional connection at the beginning.As the ties between the two families grew closer and pressure to have children increased, feelings gradually developed.His mistake lay in the three years of neglect.Even when he knew she was struggling, he didn’t step in to help.His purpose was to make her forget her feelings for him.But when she truly forgot, the pain in his heart became unbearable."If even the marriage certificate is gone, I’m afraid..."It was the first time Frank had ever heard the word "afraid" come out of Westley’s mouth.The Howard family was a renowned and powerful family. When others were still struggling with startups or working regular jobs, they had already monopolized the shipping industry and begun expanding into other sectors.As the eldest son, Westley had not only been showered with love since birth but also carried the responsibility of ensuring the Howard family’s conti

    Even with two people between them, Westley could hear clearly. She was sitting right next to them—how could she possibly not have heard?Charlotte glanced at Westley, then raised her hand to gently smooth Jordan’s hair."Just small talk. Why are you so nervous? I was just thinking, if you don’t have someone you like, once you’re divorced, I could introduce someone to you."Westley gripped the glass in his hand tightly.The transparent glass began to show faint cracks.Frank’s lips curved slightly, and a hint of mischief flashed through his eyes."Mr. Howard, if you’re getting divorced, you shouldn’t stay single. The Howard family still needs a proper hostess to run the household."Westley’s sharp phoenix-like eyes narrowed slightly.What kind of game were these two playing, singing in such perfect harmony?"I have no intention of getting a divorce."Frank dragged out an exaggerated "oh" and shifted slightly, moving the arm he had draped over the back of Charlotte’s chair. His

    She felt unsettled under their stares.She stiffly tried to change the topic, "Jane, was Zachary really having morning sickness?"Jane smiled. "It’s a little late to ask that, isn’t it? He’s probably done now."The aroma of the fish was irresistible, and she couldn't hold back any longer.She hadn't wanted to ask initially.After all, she had already learned about Zachary's morning sickness at the door.This was just her trying to find something to say."Oh," she said awkwardly. "Zachary really loves you...""I know that," replied Jane.Jane put some food on her plate. "So, you and that mentor of yours, there's nothing romantic going on?"Jordan's eyes widened in shock, and even the fish in her mouth suddenly tasted bland."Don't talk nonsense! My relationship with Oliver is nothing special.""Then you truly don't have someone you like?" Charlotte asked again for confirmation.At that moment, the three men just happened to walk to the screen nearby and stopped upon hearing

    Jane didn’t miss the cold glint that flashed in Zachary’s eyes.It seemed he wasn’t really planning to escort Westley, nor was it because Frank had something urgent to attend to.It was likely because he had his own matters to deal with.She didn’t ask, though. Instead, she curved her lips into a smile. “I’ll wait for you at home.”Zachary picked out a bone in the fish for her. “If you’re tired, go to sleep first. I’ll definitely come home, I promise.”“Alright.”Beside them, Frank whispered something to Charlotte.Charlotte nodded to show that she understood.Jordan glanced left and right, feeling like she was the third wheel.Better to just eat.She was about to turn the table to get some muffin when the lazy Susan rotated toward her the moment she reached out.The muffin landed right in front of her.She didn’t lift her head to look, but she could feel a scorching gaze focused on her face.Her long lashes fluttered quickly, and she paused, not reaching out to pick up th

    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
