Chapter 1023

Author: Lean
“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

    Zachary opened his eyes and locked gazes with Frank.He knew the latter was a scheming person.In the private room.Jane tried to lighten the mood. “Let’s skip the mango today. I don’t feel like having it either.”Charlotte purposely exposed her. “It’s because you’re supposed to eat less mango now.”Jane stuck out her tongue and called the server to bring a peanut-free triangular cake.“How about blueberry flavor?”“Perfect, I’ve been craving blueberries today.”“Please wait a moment.”After the server left, Jane and Charlotte noticed Jordan still seemed down.They exchanged a glance before Jane asked, “Shouldn’t you be happy about the divorce? Isn’t this what you’ve wanted most?”Jordan fiddled with the corner of the tablecloth, wrinkling it between her fingers.She couldn’t understand Westley, but the foundation of her understanding of him was still there.With a sigh, she said, “He rarely changes his mind once he’s made a decision. For instance, during those three years

    The light in the basement was dim.Zachary walked closer step by step, only then able to see the scene below.An iron chain was fastened around Luthor’s neck. He hadn’t been cleaned up for a month, his whole body filthy, with exposed skin that was cracked and oozing blood.His untrimmed hair was like tree branches, covering his eyebrows and eyes.At that moment, he was crouched on the ground, eating something from a bowl.It was unclear what it was, but it looked like pig slop.At a glance, Zachary couldn’t bear it and looked away.The pregnancy nausea tormented him more than his stomach ailments ever had."Even like this, you’re still alive. Are you so determined to one day take me down?"His cold and detached voice echoed, but Luthor remained focused on eating.Zachary kicked over the stainless steel bowl."You’re more resilient than I imagined. No wonder the Winston family thrived under your hands. Without you, they’ve become nothing but pushovers."The feud between the

    Frank saw Zachary's guilty behavior and said, “You’re going like this? With a change of clothes? Do you think Jane’s stupid? You think she wouldn’t guess what you were up to?”Zachary fastened his belt and replied, “She already knows.”Frank didn’t bother with him and asked, “You never told Jane in advance about the paternity test results?”“I’m going to tell her now.”On the outskirts of the city.Roy handed the paternity test report to Luthor.Luthor looked at the names on it. The conclusion at the end stated there was no biological relationship.It was unbelievable.“How is that possible!”If Jane wasn’t Jasper’s biological daughter, then Jane would no longer be a stain on Zachary.Not to mention whether her biological parents were influential figures.Even if she had no parents, she would still be far better than being Jasper’s daughter.“Zachary sent you here with this fake report to fool me! Otherwise, why would he leave after saying only half of what he intended to?

    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

    "You're really not letting me in?"When Westley said this, he stared at her intently, his tone slightly rising at the end. It was obvious that he didn’t mean just entering the house.There was a deeper meaning.Jordan pulled her hand back and kicked him."Get lost, you pervert."Westley glanced at the shoe print on his leg and laughed. "What did I say? Who's the one with a dirty mind here?"Jordan was indeed at a loss for words. She was angry because he had seen right through her.She was frustrated that her emotions were always so easy to read.Especially in front of someone as sharp as Westley—there was nowhere to hide.That made her even angrier."Let me tell you, even if I agreed to your proposal, I can still take it back."As she spoke, she reached for the ring, intending to take it off.Westley caught her hand and pressed her fingerprint against the scanner.When the door opened, Jordan was stunned."Westley!""Yes?" Westley responded, pulling her into the house.

    Jane glanced at the screen and said, "At least Westley has quite high EQ. I'm actually quite satisfied with that."Originally, the two of them had gotten married first, without actually being in a relationship, and even after the marriage, they hadn't managed to develop any feelings.It should have been the other way around. First, dating, then proposal, and finally marriage.Zachary asked her, "Now that you're fully recovered, and Charlotte has also finished making your wedding dress, when are you going to marry me? Or do you want me to propose to you again?"Jane raised her hand to stop his approach, but then used her finger to gently trace his jaw.Her eyes were full of allure.During this time in recovery, she hadn't been able to do anything.Afraid that she wouldn't take care of herself well, he hadn't even asked for her help to satisfy his desires.He had handled everything himself.Now, he couldn't bear it when she looked at him with such a teasing gaze.Zachary grabbe

    He also took her to the highest point and used a telescope to look at the sky."Look at that one, it's your star, it's called Jordy."Jordan looked in the direction he pointed, and indeed, she saw a bright, shining star.By naming the star, it truly belonged to her.This was like picking a star from the sky.And he had also made so many stars for her using diamonds.Perhaps it was the atmosphere, but she took the initiative to hug Westley.Westley stood still and said, "I haven't broken our agreement. What’s the meaning of this?"He knew what she meant.But deep down, he was happy.Jordan let go of him and said, "Tomorrow is the awards ceremony.""Yes." Westley looked at her. "Are you nervous?"Jordan shook her head. "What's there to be nervous about? I've won awards before. I've already won the biggest awards, this time it's just a small one."Westley's gaze darkened. "I'll pick you up tomorrow to do your styling."At that moment, Jordan didn't realize he had a deeper in

    He placed some meat on her plate and asked, "Don't you like being close to me? Or do you still think our relationship isn't suitable for closeness right now?"Jordan couldn't really explain.Westley answered for her, "Do you think the development between us is different from others? So it's awkward?"Jordan thought for a moment, and it seemed like that was the case.Westley continued, "So you still want to go through a process before we get to the point where we can kiss in a romantic relationship?"Jordan fell silent.Westley said, "If you have something to say, just say it. There's nothing we should be embarrassed about between us."Jordan bit her cutlery, and after a few seconds, she said, "Before we remarry, we can maintain a working relationship. We can eat together, do some things together, but we can't have any intimate behavior. Can you accept that?"Westley obviously couldn't accept it.He didn't really understand why she wanted it that way.But he still went along w

    "Otherwise, would you listen to something you don't want to hear?"Jordan didn't want to argue with him. "I'll say this one last time... Mm!"Her lips were sealed, and when Jordan tried to push him away, she kept punching his shoulder.She tilted her head to dodge, but he firmly held her by the back of her head.She opened her mouth to bite him, but he grabbed her face, deepening the kiss.In the quiet office, with only the two of them, the sound of water droplets, which made hearts race and faces flush, could be heard.Jordan, unable to take it anymore, kicked him.But his long legs held her down.She was completely at his mercy, unable to move at all."Um..."It wasn't until the sound of a knock on the door broke the intimate atmosphere."I'm here for the interview... Is this a bad time?"As soon as Westley released her, Jordan immediately pushed him away, wiping her lips forcefully.She stomped on him hard and tried to calm her emotions as she looked toward the door."

    Jordan went to sit on the sofa and casually raised her hand toward him."Go on."Westley looked at her, noticing how she resembled a boss, a look that had some of his own influence in it.He smiled.Jordan shot him a glare. "Be serious.""Alright."Westley sat up straight, looking serious.He began to explain his previous plans to her.Except for parts of the plan that needed to be kept confidential, he didn't hide anything else."The reason I had you stab me was indeed to let you vent your anger, to make up for the harm I've caused you. It was just a coincidence that the higher-ups issued an order at the same time, so I decided to go along with it. Now, the plan has been completed. I can indeed come back to life, but right now, there's nothing I need to do. The Howard family has Leanne, and I've already resigned. I'm just a jobless wanderer now, and no one cares. Whether I'm alive or not doesn't really matter."Jordan felt that those last two sentences were clearly meant to

    But when she reached the bedroom door, ready to go out and check, she thought again, how could he, such a grown man, possibly be putting himself through hardship?With so many people under him, he could just call anyone to bring him clothes.And he could book a comfortable presidential suite for himself.There was no need for her to be concerned about it.Besides, it was her who had locked him out in the first place.Going out now would only make it seem like she cared about him too much.Right.She shouldn't go out.Jordan returned to her bed.But no matter what, she couldn't fall asleep.In the living room, Westley was already lying on the sofa.The heating was turned up high, so he wasn't worried about the cold.He was holding his phone, making some kind of plan.In the end, Jordan didn't even know how she fell asleep.When she woke up groggily, the first thing she did was get up and check on Westley.But she found that he wasn't there anymore.She let out a sigh of

    She now saw herself only as a sister figure to him. Even though they were a bit close, there was still a sense of distance and wariness.It was impossible for her to fully open up to him.But at that moment, suddenly talking about their relationship wasn't really appropriate.Besides, with how things had developed between her and Westley, if he intervened, it would just force them apart.In the end, it would be her who got hurt.‘Forget it.’Nathan decided to just watch how things would unfold.If Westley still didn't realize his mistakes and hurt Jordan again, then no matter what, he couldn't let them be together."Has Jasmine not come back?""Huh?" The topic changed too quickly, and Jordan was a little slow to react. "No.""Nathan, did you take anything from this room?"Nathan's gaze darkened slightly. "No."Noticing that he was in a bad mood, Jordan didn't ask about his situation with Jasmine."Jasmine probably has something she wants to do."Nathan could tell from her
