Chapter 1035

Author: Lean
Jane turned his face toward her and gave him a quick kiss.

Zachary closed his eyes briefly, taking a deep breath to calm himself.

“What is this? Are you so happy you want to ‘finish off’ your husband to celebrate?”

“Stop talking nonsense.” Jane smacked him lightly on the head. “It’s a joyous day, don’t say such unlucky things.”

Zachary grabbed her hand. “Then what are you trying to do?”

“Are you happy seeing me suffer?”

“Do I look like that kind of person? I’ve been feeling awful because of your morning sickness. You can’t eat, and I can’t help—it makes me anxious.”

“How about you fix that smile of yours before saying that?”

Jane burst out laughing, collapsing into his arms.

Zachary sighed helplessly. “I really can’t win against you.”

“If you want to ask something, just ask—no need for all this.”

Jane sat up. “You should eat something first.”

“No need.”

Just hearing the word “eat” made Zachary feel queasy.

“I know my limits.”

“You have stomach problems. What ‘limits’ do

    Zachary curved his lips into a faint smile. “You’re so nosy. Why didn’t you become a journalist? Going into fashion seems like such a waste of talent. Maybe you could have got rid of a lot of scumbags.”Jane slapped him lightly. “That’s not what I want to hear.”Zachary honestly didn’t know much about Tanner’s situation.He wasn’t particularly close to the Greyson family—Westley probably knew more of the details than he did.“All I know is that things didn’t end on a good note. For the specifics, you’d have to ask Westley.”Jane stared at him intently, her gaze unwavering.Her stare finally made Zachary a bit uncomfortable.“What?”Jane crossed her arms, narrowed her eyes, and said, “Are you thinking I’ll go ask Westley? That way, he can use this as leverage to make me help him with Jordan?”Zachary massage his temples. “You do know me pretty well.”Jane lifted her chin proudly. “Of course.”Zachary reached out and hooked her chin lightly with his finger. “It’s not about mak

    Jane found it both infuriating and funny. “Well, he deserved it.”Zachary agreed with her and said, “Westley did try to distance himself from her, but during the years from her university to her career, he kept an eye on her the entire time.Especially because Jordan never dated anyone, he kept wondering whether she truly liked him as a person or if it was because he hadn’t acted cold enough.”“The dramatic part is that when Jordan turned 20, Sir Howard fell gravely ill and insisted that they get married. Back then, Westley saw the excitement and joy in Jordan’s eyes. So, he drafted an agreement that stated they would divorce after Sir Howard passed away. After they registered their marriage, he went to work in another city and didn’t return to the Howard family for three years.”Jane clicked her tongue several times. “His grandfather was gravely ill, and he didn’t even go to see him?”“There were people reporting the situation to him. His grandfather’s illness was a foregone conc

    Jane felt that Zachary had too many tricks up his sleeve.Moreover, she felt that it was better not to fully trust men.There was no such thing as absolute honesty.Even she couldn’t achieve that herself.Jane leaned back against the sofa, looking into his eyes.Her stare made Zachary feel a chill down his spine. He cleared his throat and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”Jane gave a sarcastic smile.Zachary was rendered speechless.He tactically glanced at his watch and asked, “Are you sleepy?”“Nope.”“Hungry?”“Nope.”Jane raised her hand and patted his face. “Playing tricks on me?”This feeling was like looking at himself.For a moment, Zachary didn’t know how to react.The corners of his lips twitched slightly as he said, “I’m just trying to discuss things with you.”“Oh, okay.” Jane nodded. “I believe you.”He realized he was wrong—he shouldn’t have tried to help Westley.Zachary hugged her, trying to appease her. “He deserves it. From now on, I won’

    “I forgive you, I forgive you.” Jane ruffled his hair. “Such juicy gossip is worth forgiving. But I’m warning you, don’t try to trick me again next time.”Zachary raised his hand. “I promise.”Jane was satisfied. She ate her fill, felt sleepy, and went to bed.Zachary tucked her in carefully and planted a kiss on her forehead.“I’m heading to the hospital.”“Okay.”At midnight, Raymond released the results of the paternity test.Originally, not many people were paying attention to Jasper’s situation anymore.After all, so much happens every day, and with Zachary’s maneuvering, the buzz had already died down.But as soon as the paternity test result was revealed, it caused an uproar.“I knew it. With the way he was behaving, how could the child be his? And yet, he dared to make such a fuss.”“All those people defending Jasper should apologize!”“Unbelievable. This scum is still alive and even dared to go online to play the victim. If I ever see him, I’ll make sure to give hi

    If this were Jane, just a single cough would send him into a panic.Rebecca felt that Zachary now cared more about Jane than her.“Even if Jasper isn’t her biological father, how can you be so sure her real parents are good people? What if...”Zachary finished slicing the apple into small pieces, placed them on a plate, and handed it to his mother.His tone was unhurried. “I can accept anything. As I said before—I will marry no one but her.”Rebecca didn’t take the plate, so Zachary set it aside.The apple, left untouched, began to oxidize and turn brown.Zachary lightly tapped the apple with the fruit knife and said, “There are more than one path in front of me.”Rebecca opened her mouth to speak, but Zachary interrupted her.He pulled out a photo and handed it to her.“The Collins family doesn’t only have me for the official route. There is a sister who can take my place.”Rebecca was stunned. “What sister?”Zachary produced a document. “A recently acknowledged goddaughte

    She could say nothing more.Moreover, even if she said something, it would be useless.Zachary achieved his goal and turned to leave.After the door to the ward closed, Rebecca picked up a piece of yellowing apple to eat.The old lady of the Collins family sighed, “We didn’t raise him in vain.”Rebecca wiped away tears, she still couldn’t bring herself to like Jane.But Zachary was her only son. At this point, there was nothing she could do to stop him.She could only look the other way and let it go.She said to Eric, “Jeswood is too cold. Take me to Clisfield. This is what you’ve promised me.”Spring had already arrived in Jeswood, it wasn’t cold at all.But Eric still immediately arranged for tickets to be booked.There were still several months before Zachary and Jane’s wedding.In the meantime, she could relax and gradually come to terms with things as time passed.Eric looked at the elderly couple. “Mom, Dad, come with us. The weather there is warm year-round.”Zach

    Jordan planned to return to Nelana right after breakfast.Yasmin tried to persuade her to stay a few more days.But she was eager to return and finalize her divorce.Charlotte decided to accompany her since she hadn’t had the chance to visit Dominic and look at the finished products after Jane’s recent accident.Frank wanted to tag along, but Charlotte stopped him. “You stay here and handle things.”Frank sneered. “You’re just tired of me and keep coming up with reasons to stay apart.”Charlotte had been hearing this from him a lot lately and was immune to it by now.She patted his shoulder, linked arms with Jordan, and walked away.Frank was rendered speechless‘Fine.’Westley had never drunk so much alcohol before.Although he wasn’t completely wasted, there were still some things he remembered clearly.However, his headache was intense.Buck brought him some water, asked about his schedule, and reported on the events of the night before.Westley paused while drinking t

    “I don’t care! I must go back and put on some makeup!” Jane declared.Ross, who would rather face Zachary’s wrath than make Jane unhappy, immediately prepared to turn the car around.But Zachary stopped him. “Keep driving.”He gently patted Jane’s back to calm her down.“I know you’re excited about getting the certificate, but don’t get so worked up—think about the baby.”Was that what he thought this was about?Jane grabbed Zachary’s ear. “Are you getting old and becoming deaf? I said turn the car around! If you keep pretending not to hear me, don’t even think about me taking a photo with you to get the certificate when we get there!”In the end, Zachary had no choice but to compromise.Jane hadn’t done her makeup in a while. With the sudden pregnancy, she hadn’t had the time to prepare maternity-safe cosmetics.So they went to the mall, where she bought what she needed and applied a full, flawless makeup look.Feeling beautiful and confident, she finally went to the Civil A

    "What are you doing?"Jordan was both angry and anxious, her face completely red.Westley smiled. "What do you think?""Stop messing around! We still need to go toast the guests.""Exactly." The man pinched the satin ribbon behind her back. "How can you wear the toasting dress if you don't take off the wedding dress?"The wedding dress was too heavy, and with him pressing on her, Jordan couldn't break free."You want to do it yourself, but you can’t."In the end, Jordan was stripped down to just her undergarments and was forcibly changed into the toasting dress.Seizing the right moment, she immediately broke free from Westley and opened the door, about to run out.Westley quickly grabbed her and carried her back. "Your makeup is ruined."‘Whose fault is it that my makeup is ruined?’Jordan stomped hard on his foot. "You’re so annoying!""Already annoyed right after the wedding?" Westley sat her down on the edge of the bed, opened the makeup bag, and took out a lipstick. "I

    Westley had someone distribute the wedding sweets. He carried Jordan into the hotel and delivered her to the bridal rest room.Jane and the others had already been waiting."So, what's up, Westley? As your sister-in-law, I took your big envelope, and I didn't make things difficult for you, did I?"What could Westley say? "Thank you, Jane.""Jordy's wedding shoes?"Jane and Charlotte each handed him one of the shoes.Westley crouched down and carefully put them on Jordan."I'm going to be busy up front, I'll wait for you."Jordan nodded. "Okay."After Westley left, Jane and Charlotte helped her change into the wedding dress.Whitney also helped.Caleb brought her to the wedding venue, and while they were waiting in the rest room, Jane explained to her.The reason they arrived here first was that everything had been arranged in advance, and it was intentionally done this way.She actually found it quite interesting."Whit." Jane patted her shoulder. "This is a good way to

    Even the foundation couldn't hide the pink flush spreading on her cheeks.Jordan knew she was rather introverted, and without Jane and Charlotte there to back her up, this felt like hell to her."Westley!""Yes!"Jordan was amused by him and forgot what she was about to say.Westley stepped forward, kneeling on one knee, preparing to go through the motions.Whitney quickly tried to stop him, but was pulled away by Caleb."This won't do..." She struggled, but couldn't fight against the man's strength.Only Jordan and Westley were left in the bedroom.The man kneeled beside the bed and handed her the bouquet. "Dear Mrs. Howard, please come home with me."Jordan took the bouquet, revealing her small feet from under the large skirt."I don't have shoes on."Westley asked, "How can I find your shoes?""You're asking me?""Yes.""Well, I can't tell you."Westley knew it wasn't going to be that easy.Even if Jane and Charlotte were kept busy, with their family status, how cou

    "They're here, they're here," Charlotte called out, urging Whitney to quickly close the bedroom door.Whitney said, "Jane hasn't come in yet.""If she's slower than Westley, it means she's caught up in something," replied Charlotte."But isn’t Zachary afraid of angering Jane by helping Westley like this?"Charlotte smiled. "This is a wedding. Blocking the door is just for fun. We won’t really make it hard for the groom to take the bride away."Whitney only then realized what they were doing. "Sorry.""It's fine, you've never had a wedding, so it's normal," Charlotte reassured her."So, what should I do now?"Charlotte said, "Just cooperate with me.""Don't be too formal, it's not a big deal."At that moment, Westley knocked on the door. "What does Mrs. Smith want? Feel free to name your price."Charlotte laughed. "Mr. Howard always reads people well and is full of schemes. Why don't you try guessing?"Frank had already come over, but he looked lazy and still had no energy.

    Westley seemed not to hear Zachary's words and asked him if his clothes were alright and whether his tie was crooked.Zachary couldn't be bothered to respond.Frank didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.At that moment, Caleb stepped forward and adjusted Westley's tie and collar, smiling faintly.Westley understood. "Carter will come to the wedding. I'm certain of it."Caleb then asked, "With the relationship between Mr. Greyson and Mr. Howard, why isn't he coming as a groomsman?""He doesn't get along well with my wife.""Because of Mandy?"Westley nodded. "Mandy and my wife were good friends during their teenage years."Actually, Jordan wasn't someone who held grudges, but he couldn't let anything go wrong at the wedding.Originally, it didn't matter whether Carter came or not.If it weren't for Caleb, he wouldn't have insisted on having Carter attend.Caleb understood.The sky gradually brightened.Whitney stood at the door, waiting for news from Jane.Suddenly, some

    Whitney nodded. "It's really delicious.""That's good." Jordan didn't know what else to say and quietly sipped her soup.Caleb placed some ham on Whitney’s plate. "If you like it, take some with you when you leave.""I'll arrange for it to be delivered to Yelar regularly in the future."Whitney really liked it, but she never overindulged.She was afraid that giving in to greed wouldn't be a good thing.After a pause, she asked, "Do you like it?"Caleb replied, "It's okay."Whitney said, "Then I can take some back, but no need to have someone deliver it regularly. If I eat too much, I won't find it as tasty anymore."Caleb nodded in agreement.During the meal, Jane went to the restroom, and Charlotte also stood up.Jordan quickly followed them.Whitney thought for a moment and decided to go too.Zachary waited for them to leave the private room and raised his tea cup toward Caleb.Since Jane was drinking, he decided not to drink."I think Whitney really enjoys hanging out

    She looked at Jane and the others, blinking. "Isn't that right, sisters?"Jane nodded. "That's right, it's a women’s gathering, no men allowed.""No men allowed again?" Westley gave a cryptic glance at the three men standing behind.Jordan followed Jane's lead.Charlotte had no objections.Whitney glanced at Caleb, but she had already told him that she'd be with Jordan for the next few days.In other words, she had informed him that she was joining Jordan's little group.She didn't say anything else.Caleb pulled at the corner of his lips, not saying anything.The manager didn't know what to make of the group of important figures standing in the front hall.After giving it some thought, he said, "We only have one private room, which Mr. Howard reserved first. Would you like to share a table, ladies?"Jane smiled. "So, when it rains, there's only one room, huh?"The manager glanced at Westley for guidance. "Our restaurant is reservation-based..."Jordan interrupted. "I made

    Frank put down his phone and said, "I'll just take this as a wedding gift for your sister and brother-in-law, for their upcoming wedding."Zachary didn't say anything. He had received a similar message from Westley.Meanwhile, someone on Caleb's side came to update him on Whitney's movements.He didn't have an issue with her shopping, but he wasn't exactly happy about it either.He had given Whitney a premium card, letting her buy whatever she liked.But she had never used it."Mr. Hilton..." One of his subordinates hesitated before speaking. "After shopping, Mrs. Hilton and Mrs. Collins... they went for... for a massage."Caleb received the news, and so did Zachary.There hadn't been any activity for half the day, so they probably went to a proper massage parlor."Got it."Jane and the others went for facial and oil massages.It was indeed a normal massage parlor.Even when they had gone to a bar before, they were just there to drink.The issue was with those men not trus

    Jordan hadn't decided yet. "Do you have any particular places you'd like to visit?"Jane said, "Then let's go shopping."She turned to Charlotte. "Can you walk?""I’m fine. If we get tired, we can find a place to sit and rest."Jane then looked at Whitney and asked if she wanted to go.Whitney nodded.The four girls made a quick decision and set off.Ross was eating an apple when he saw them coming out together. He immediately asked, "Mrs. Collins, where are you going? Do you need me to give you a lift?"Jane looked at the car behind him and noticed there were no other cars."Take us to the biggest shopping center.""Okay."The MPV was large, and with just Ross as the driver, it was more than enough for the four of them to sit comfortably."Ma’am, there are yogurts and snacks next to you, all your favorites."Jane glanced at it and said, "Remember to tell Zachary that it’s too late to apologize after making a mistake."Ross would only repeat the exact words to Zachary, an
