"Mrs. Howard, Mrs. Collins is pregnant now. Because her condition is unstable, the doctor told her not to worry too much or think too much. So, let’s not trouble her too much. Mr. Collins said that as long as you don't mention your matter with Mr. Howard to Mrs. Collins, he can help you with the divorce. He can put in as much effort as you want."Jordan was stunned for a few seconds before reacting.She hadn't planned to say anything about her situation with Westley.They were already about to file for divorce, and there was nothing to talk about.She was here because of Oliver...However, she still responded, "Please tell Mr. Collins that he has nothing to worry about."It was enough for him to understand.Roy didn't say more.Jane was already waiting at the door.She kept checking her watch.She asked Zachary, "Why is Roy so slow? Next time, don't let him pick her up."Zachary peeled a grape and fed it to her one by one.Hearing this, he gently replied, "You can make the
Although Zachary wasn’t even looking at Jordan, the latter could still feel the coldness in his eyes.He was angry with her, blaming her for making Jane so emotional."Jane, I suddenly remembered, I have something to do, so I’ve got to go now."Jordan abruptly stood up, but in her haste, a wave of dizziness made her sit back down.It was strange. When she was at Oliver's house earlier, she felt the temperature had dropped a little.Why did she now feel light-headed?"Sit still and don't move."Jane pulled a blanket over her and urged Zachary, "Tell the doctor to hurry."Zachary could only stand up and make a phone call.Just as he picked up his phone, the doorbell rang.He opened the door and let the doctor in.The doctor asked, "Mr. Collins, what symptoms is Mrs. Collins experiencing?""It's not her." Zachary's voice was cold. "Go inside and take a look."The doctor walked in and saw a different girl with an unfamiliar face.He had seen Jane before, so he knew that this
Jordan felt uneasy and said cautiously, "There's nothing. I really don't have any impure thoughts about Oliver.""Then that means you don't like him." Jane patted her head. "It's okay. We can still meet a soulmate in the future, right? Don't worry."Jordan wasn't worried about this. What concerned her was the upcoming photoshoot. Jane would be changing clothes back and forth, and she was sure that Zachary would use his sharp, cold gaze to slice her into pieces."So, this time, Jane, just wear one outfit. I'll take more pictures for you. When your belly gets bigger, we'll take maternity photos."Jane agreed, and Jordan secretly sighed in relief."I'll go get changed first."Jordan nodded, about to follow her in, when Zachary stopped her."She’s my wife, I'll handle it. No need to trouble yourself."‘We’re both women, what's there that can't be seen? Aren't we all the same?’She guessed that he was doing this on purpose because she had made Jane excited earlier.Jordan silently
"What is it?" Jane urged. "But I won't listen to anything about Westley."Wasn't this just walking straight into a trap?Charlotte changed her approach. "I had Frank go to Nelana. I know that Jordan went to find Oliver."Jane's eyes shifted. "What I was going to tell you was about Jordan and Oliver's gossip, but it turns out you already knew."Charlotte entered the study with her. "If you don't want to hear about Westley, then tell me what you know."In the end, Jane still asked, "Is he really sick?"Charlotte nodded. "He had a surgery. They said there was a tumor in his kidney."Jane couldn't feel any sympathy for Westley, "He treated her so badly that he’s even punished by God."Charlotte didn't deny it, but asked, "Which one do you want to wear?""I actually want to wear them all, but Zachary won't let me.""It won't hurt to wait a couple of days. Once you're stable or after you give birth, you can still wear them."Jane sighed. "He's been overly cautious lately, but I'm
"I won't participate in the photoshoot. Jordan, come here, I'll watch from the side."Jordan grabbed a chair for Jane, "Jane, let's start by taking photos whilst sitting down."She was about to help Jane when suddenly a cold gust of wind blew past.Someone else had already sat Jane down before her."Be careful."Jane pushed him away. "Go do what you have to. We sisters are having fun. Don't interrupt."Zachary's expression darkened slightly. "I'm not busy..."Jane gave a sarcastic smile. "I want to hang out with my friends. Is that okay, hubby?"Zachary turned and left, constantly looking back as he walked to the balcony.Jordan gave a thumbs up. "You've got the husband under control."Jane pushed some stray hair behind her ear and said proudly, "Oh, stop it."Jordan and Charlotte exchanged a glance and both smiled.The photoshoot proceeded steadily.On the balcony, Zachary called Westley."You're really useless, can't even keep your own wife."Westley was confused, "Wha
Westley ordered Buck to follow Jordan.Jordan apologized to Jane, "Jane, I'll make it up to you after I'm done."Jane envied her, being able to stay busy with work.She got up to help her tidy up. "Alright, go ahead, be careful on the road.""Okay, you take care and rest more, Jane," said Jordan, putting on her bag."Got it." Jane saw her off.Charlotte said, "I'll head back, I'll take her to the airport."She already knew everything.Jordan was sick, she had said herself she wasn't working.No matter how urgent the job, no matter how close they were as friends, there would always be a solution. There wasn't just one photographer in this world.Although Jordan's talent was unmatched by most people, it was too coincidental.After Zachary finished his call on the balcony, Jordan was about to fly abroad for a shoot.It was hard not to associate this with his influence.She didn't want to stay here and be disliked, so she left.She gave them space.Jane didn't ask anything,
Jordan had nothing more to say and could only show her work to the designer.At the front desk, Buck found the best viewing spot. This way, he could immediately send updates to Westley about Jordan’s situation.At the back of the stage, Jordan took a few simple photos first.The models gathered around and saw the photos she had taken.The casual shots showed her impressive skills."Does you own a studio or a company, Miss?""A company.""Then, Miss, can I book you now? When I get married, I hope you can do the whole process of my wedding photoshoot."Jordan politely declined, "Wedding photos are not my main area of work. I can't take this job, but I can recommend photographers for you."One of the models asked, "What about personal portraits?"Jordan wasn't into those either. "Sorry, most of the time I photograph animals and red carpet events. I don't have time for personal portraits."Suddenly, someone picked up Jordan's work badge."I thought you looked familiar. You're t
Upon hearing the name, Buck sneered.He was nowhere near as powerful as Zachary.Buck couldn’t believe how arrogant they were being with only a little bit of power.He immediately struck with a swift move.The man winced in pain and released his grip.Buck shielded Jordan behind him.The models on stage began to exit.The standoff caught people's attention.They heard a man cursing loudly, "Damn, you dare hit me? I'll make you regret this, whether you believe it or not!""I don't believe it."Buck couldn't be bothered to waste time on such an idiot. He took out his phone and made a call.More people from the audience at the show started gathering around.Some recognized the man and whispered to each other, "Isn't that a member of the Howard family?""I heard he's the brother-in-law of the head of Howard family's."Buck had excellent hearing. When he caught this conversation, he recalled the man's name. It turned out the person was from a branch of the Howard family, kept
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
