Chapter 1026

ผู้เขียน: Lean
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?

    ‘I’ll never fulfill his wish,’ thought Zachary.“Aboard the same boat, there’s no abandoning ship—they can only sink together.”Frank’s phone vibrated. He smirked and said, “The families of the mining accident victims are not determined to keep their mouths shut as before. Have you finished investigating the human trafficking lead on your side?”Zachary also received updates from Rick and the others.He glanced at his watch. “Let’s go home first. We’ll handle it tomorrow.”Frank didn’t mind.Letting those people have one more peaceful night of sleep wasn’t a problem.Although, in reality, those people couldn’t sleep at all.The quieter Zachary’s side was, the more terrified they became.They couldn’t even arrange to meet him.Like headless flies, they wandered aimlessly in their homes.Some had even developed grey hair from the stress.When Frank returned home, things were lively on Sparrow’s side.Charlotte looked at him and said, “Jordan is staying over tonight. She want

    Jordan sat beside Yasmin, pulling faces to amuse Sparrow.She joked with Yasmin, “If you don’t walk the red carpet, I won’t be able to capture stunning photos anymore.”“You’ve got quite the sweet tongue.” Yasmin chuckled. “At my age, there are so many younger women now—each one vibrant and beautiful.”“It’s different. It’s your aura. Others can’t exude the same aura.”While they chatted, Frank pulled Charlotte back to their place across the street.After closing the door, Frank immediately scooped her up and carried her to the bathroom.He had been in Northern Manya for a while, looking but not indulging. He had been holding back too long.Charlotte saw his eagerness and found it both funny and exasperating.Just a moment ago, he had been so happy about sleeping with their daughter. Now, it seemed she was no longer on his mind.Stopping his burning hands, she asked, “When you dropped Westley off, did he say anything?”Frank didn’t want to talk at all—he just wanted action.

    "First, let me apologize for keeping this from you for so long."Jane’s curiosity was piqued to its peak. “What is it? Hurry up and tell me.”Zachary wanted to approach the matter gradually, but after giving it some thought, he decided that Jane would likely be more happy than upset about the truth. So, he said it outright.“Jasper isn’t your biological father.”Silence.Jane’s eyes gradually widened, so much so that they seemed about to pop out.She was too shocked to speak.She wanted to ask something, her mouth open, but no sound came out.For a moment, she wondered if she had misheard him.The dark days of her past, the beatings and scoldings, flashed in her mind like a slideshow.For years, she had felt that having a father like Jasper was a stain on her life.On the outside, she put on a tough appearance and claimed she had no heart.But deep down, she was insecure and sensitive.After falling in love with Zachary, she lived in constant fear that her background would

    ‘I’ve already taken my pants off and you’re just going to leave it at that?’She thought this must have been intentional on Westley's part.She raised her leg and kicked him, then turned around, pulling the blanket away, her back clearly showing a trace of resentment.Westley didn't mind, pulling both her and the blanket into his arms.He chuckled softly in her ear."Your reaction right now makes me think you're dissatisfied."The deliberate pause was even more teasing.Jordan immediately elbowed him.But because she was tangled in the blanket, she couldn't put much strength into it.The muffled laugh of the man in her ear clearly mocked her, making her even angrier.Her emotions flared up too quickly, and tears started falling.Westley felt the wetness on his arm, it was hot.He quickly sat up.He knew about her tendency to lose control of her tears, but seeing her cry still made his heart ache.He gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eye with his thumb and whis

    "You can't possibly have nowhere to stay."Westley turned her around and found her eyes tightly closed.He laughed softly. "You used to try everything to see what’s in front of you right now, so what's wrong now?"Jordan had been influenced by dramas and novels back then.Because she was protected by the Howard family and watched over by Westley, there were no other men around her except for him.Even if there were, she couldn't see their abs.So at that time, she could only secretly look when he was training or at moments when he would take off his clothes.Leanne had also helped her a lot.When she was young, he saved her when she was hospitalized.He injured his shoulder, and he had to take off his clothes to apply medicine.During those days, she insisted on taking care of him and saw a lot.But all of this ended before she turned 18.It was like playing house, no one took it seriously.Later, she never had the chance to see Westley’s body again.Now, she couldn't loo

    Westley's eyes flashed with a deep, meaningful smile.He replied calmly, "How did I trick you? I'm just being very sincere. I was just asking about the things from before. I didn't mean anything. If you're overthinking, then... Are you feeling guilty?"Jordan retorted immediately, "I'm not guilty!"Then, she weakly explained, "I didn't do anything wrong. My confession was real, and the words I said to your mom were for you. Later, I didn't contact you because your attitude toward me wasn't good. I didn't dare to reach out. So, it's all your fault."Westley laughed. "Alright, it's all my fault."He released her and stood up, heading toward the bathroom.Jordan stood frozen, not knowing why the conversation ended so abruptly.They didn't really reach any conclusion.But that wasn't the point. She followed him to the bathroom door and knocked."Westley, are you taking a shower?"There was no response. She pressed her ear to the door and thought she could hear water running.Alt

    "I..."Jordan leaned on his shoulder, her voice soft. "Can you just say it?""Okay."Westley was easy to talk to. "You said that after giving it some thought, you might have mistaken your feelings for me. You might have confused sibling love with romantic love. Actually, maybe you don't really like me. That was the gist of it. The exact words, it's been so long, I don't remember."Jordan didn't believe that he didn't remember.If he didn't hold a grudge, he wouldn't have treated her the way he did afterward.He didn't even send her a message.Even when the Howard family invited them back for dinner, he had his subordinates contact her."You really are petty."Westley chuckled, pulling her even closer.He kissed the corner of her lips. "Yep, I'm petty. For the things I owe you, I'll apologize and make it up to you, but for the things I've done right, I'll remember them and make you pay me back."Jordan quickly grabbed his wrist, her speech speeding up."Westley, I can explai

    Jordan was rendered speechless. "You didn't drink tonight. What, are you drunk from fruit juice?"Westley let go of her, changed his shoes, and, as if he were at his own home, casually unbuttoned his shirt and sat down on the sofa."Huh?"Jordan changed her shoes and walked over. She sat at the coffee table in front of him, her face serious as she said, "You'd better tell me the truth!"Westley leaned back against the sofa, his posture casual."What do you want me to confess?""I want you to..."The man suddenly moved closer, and Jordan swallowed her words.She stared wide-eyed at the extraordinarily handsome man in front of her.He had undone four buttons of his shirt, and as he moved, his muscular physique subtly showed through.Her gaze couldn't help but fall inside his collar.Suddenly, she felt her mouth becoming dry."Jordy, you need to take responsibility for your words.""I..."Before she could finish, her waist was grabbed, and before she could react, she was sit

    Jordan spoke again as his car was about to drive into the underground car park. "The underground car park is very winding. Just drop me off in front of the building, make a U-turn, and you can leave."But Westley parked in the underground car park, at the parking space that was registered to her.Jordan unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car. Seeing that he got out too, she didn't think too much about it."Just drop me off here."Westley said calmly, "I'll send you upstairs and watch you go inside.""It's really safe here."Jordan couldn't argue with him. Though she said that, she still let him escort her upstairs.When she used her fingerprint to unlock the door, she said, "It's fine now.""I'll watch you go inside."Seeing his persistence, Jordan unlocked the door and entered.She planned to turn around and say goodbye, but she was suddenly pushed from behind.The sound of the door closing followed, and then she was hugged tightly from behind by the man.Only now d

    Jordan thought for a moment, and a line of reasoning gradually became clear."Are you saying Nathan really is my brother?""Not exactly," said Westley. "He's related to you, he's your cousin."Jordan wasn't too surprised. "I see."Westley smiled. "You're much calmer when things happen now, but it still shows on your face. You need more practice."Jordan couldn't hide her emotions. She didn't show too much excitement, but she was still happy."Does my sister know?""Yes."Jordan blinked. "So, you all kept this from me, and I was the last to find out?"Westley pulled her up and headed for the dining room."We can talk while eating, it'll be cold if we wait."Jordan felt a little frustrated. "I'm so dumb."Westley peeled shrimp for her and said, "Nathan wanted to keep it a secret, so it's normal you didn't know.""But you all knew.""I knew because of my personality. You know me, if a stranger appears in front of me or you, I'll do a background check on him. Your sister know

    He had someone redo the decoration, and there would always be someone there every day to do the cleaning.Today, he had originally planned to bring her back, cook for her, and had prepared all the ingredients.This wedding house, aside from the time when Jordan came to get the marriage certificate, she hadn't been here since—she went out to study and work.It was completely different from what she remembered.There were also many photos of them.From before the marriage, after the marriage, and even recently.Including the photos she had taken over the years—award-winning ones, those published in magazines, and those that made the trending searches."They're all here. You can look around. I'll call you when the food is ready."Jordan nodded and started to explore.She found a darkroom, which was specifically for developing photos.Inside, many photos hung on the walls.These were all from the three years she and Westley were ignoring each other. They were all of her life and

    She wanted to see how he would truly lower his head for her.She also wanted to see if he really liked her.But later, after seeing the golden sea of flowers, he really did a lot to help her take pictures of the sea of clouds.The pink dolphins and fish were considered a blessing.She also witnessed them with him.So, she felt that the matter of pursuing her no longer mattered.She just wanted life to be simpler.She was really tired.She wanted to be happy and carefree.But unexpectedly, now that she didn't care about the pursuit anymore, he started again.It seemed that he would never follow her wishes.That stubbornness of his was something he couldn't change.‘Forget it,’ thought Jordan.She really couldn't be bothered to argue about these things anymore."Let's go." Jordan nodded and sat in the car after he opened the door.Westley walked around the front of the car and sat in the driver's seat, leaning over to fasten her seatbelt.But Jordan fastened it herself.
