Chapter 1093

ผู้เขียน: Lean
Westley felt that the younger man had just frightened his wife. Damn it.

With her goal achieved, Jordan fell silent again.

She thought to herself, ‘Westley isn’t as clever as others think at all. He didn't even realize I was using him.’

How could Westley not know?

It was just that, as long as she was willing to say a word to him—no matter what it was—he felt happy.

Jordan had no intention of staying here any longer.

After arriving at the hotel, she washed her face with cold water to calm herself down, and then she checked out to return to Nelana.

When Westley found out, he intercepted her at the door.

"It won't hurt to wait a little longer. Rest for a couple more days before heading back. Besides, aren't you at least going to see the result?"

Jordan had no interest in looking at the result.

She only wanted to return to her grandfather's old house, to sleep soundly.

In her dreams, she could talk to her grandfather, lean into his embrace, and draw warmth from him.

Westley did

    Jasmine didn't immediately understand what she had said wrong.But she really wanted to keep working with Jordan, so she suppressed her curiosity and didn't press further.Jordan saw Jasmine's dejected expression and realized she might have spoken too harshly.After all, Jasmine didn't know the whole story and was simply shipping the "couple" out of pure excitement."Me and him..."Jordan was still someone who didn't like to talk about her personal life, especially about this failed relationship."I wasn't targeting you. Sorry, my tone was off earlier.""No, no, no." Jasmine waved her hands quickly. "Ms. Hickey, you weren't wrong. I completely understand—it was my fault for not respecting boundaries."Jasmine was a professional and a genuinely good person.Truth be told, Jordan wasn't eager to let her go."How about I treat you to a meal?""Sure!"Jasmine had heard rumors that Jordan never gave discounts, not even to her own parents if they hired her for photography—they ha

  • Ex-husband’s Regret   Chapter 1095

    Buck suddenly appeared and started the car, leaving the airport.He even "thoughtfully" raised the partition.The back seat was sectioned off into a small space.No matter how spacious the interior of the car was, it still felt narrow compared to the vastness outside.Jordan would touch Westley even if she moved a little.She was annoyed by his constant pestering.She raised her hand and slapped him.The slap was so sudden that Westley's face turned to the side.However, when he turned back, there wasn't the slightest hint of anger.Not even a trace of surprise showed on his face.He said slowly, "You can keep hitting me until you feel better."Jordan hadn't slapped him to resolve the rift between them.The issues between them weren't something that a few slaps could solve."Westley, why do you keep forcing me? It was you who neglected me before, and now you say you like me and insist on clinging to me. That's still one-sided.""Do you even treat me as a person?"Westley

    She didn’t want to be the center of gossip, so she reluctantly sat down.The staff took her ID and handed her a form to fill out.Seeing that Westley also had a form, she finally felt at ease.But there was still some lingering caution in her heart.When she received the divorce certificate, she checked it over and over again."Westley, with your power, it wouldn't be hard to produce two fake divorce certificates, would it?"Westley tossed his divorce certificate to her as well."You can look into it if you want."Jordan wasn't naive. In Nelana, Westley had the final say.What could she possibly uncover?She decided to put away both divorce certificates for now and ask Jane to verify them once she got to Jeswood.Westley saw the flicker of her thoughts in her eyes but said nothing and just left.After the car drove away, he called Zachary.Zachary had just lulled Jane to sleep when his phone suddenly vibrated violently. He quickly declined the call.He tucked Jane in care

    Zachary massaged his temples, thinking that Westley's mind was likely consumed entirely by Jordan, leaving no room for deeper consideration.So he got straight to the point. "I suspect they're biological sisters. I'm planning to do a paternity test."The other end of the line suddenly fell silent.If not for the faint sound of breathing, Zachary might have thought the call had been disconnected.Knowing Westley was still listening, he continued, "They're suspicious themselves. You know, Jasper isn't Jane's biological father. She was adopted, so this possibility can't be ruled out."Now it was Westley's turn to fall silent.Zachary added, "My advice? Don't do anything stupid."Westley felt a headache coming on. "Why didn't you tell me this earlier?"Zachary feigned innocence. "I didn't think you'd forge fake divorce certificates."Westley was at a loss for words.Zachary glanced at his watch. "I still need to get back to my wife and sleep."Westley, clearly irritated, growled

    The sunlight poured into the entrance, making the figure of the man leaving appear even more forlorn.The tall and upright man, in this moment, seemed to have had his spine pulled out. Each step he took was heavy.Buck felt his eyes well up. His boss had made mistakes, but he was trying to make up for them—why couldn't he be given another chance?But then, thinking about it more, he realized. Jordan had truly suffered over the years. There was a moment when she was being humiliated by a group of people, and he nearly ignored his orders to rush in and protect her. But...This one event was enough for Jordan to stop loving Westley.Jordan saw the shadow at the door.In truth, when she had married, she had been full of joy. But he... he had probably been forced into it.Jasmine, noticing Jordan's slightly melancholic expression, instinctively sensed that she didn't want to discuss it further and quickly changed the subject."Ms. Hickey, what's our next project?""Nothing for now.

    It was important for him to know whether Jordan and Jane were biological sisters.Zachary said coldly, "My wife is pregnant."If the test needed to be done, it would have to wait until after the baby was born and her body had recovered.Westley asked, "Aren't you doing blood tests during the pregnancy checkup?""Even without a blood test, taking a strand of hair wouldn't harm your wife or child."Zachary replied emotionlessly, "I'm afraid my wife might get too emotional if she knows the result."Westley was somewhat puzzled, "Are you sure they're biological sisters?"Zachary had sent Roy to investigate Jane's biological parents.The information Roy had sent back matched some details with Jordan.He guessed there was a 90% chance that they were biological sisters.But it was safer to confirm with a paternity test.Westley, after hearing Zachary's words, disagreed, "Why wait for Roy's investigation? A simple paternity test could tell you.""At most, just don't tell your wife.

    If they were biological sisters, Westley had to find a way to redeem himself.Zachary's jaw tightened. The words "fake divorce" were on the tip of his tongue but he swallowed them.It was more interesting for Westley to explode this bomb himself.He turned around and got into another car.Westley followed and got in as well."What bad idea are you plotting again?"Zachary smiled but didn't speak.On the way, Zachary received a call from Rick."Mr. Collins, Jasper is dead."Zachary didn't even furrow his brows.It was part of the plan."I know."Rick, familiar with Zachary's habits, quickly spoke before he hung up. "Mr. Collins, Nina wants to see you."Zachary's voice was cold and ruthless. "She’s giving up so soon?"Rick shivered even through the receiver.Nina wasn't registered in the country anymore. She had some coonections and had protection in Northern Manya, making it impossible to capture her for sentencing.But, Zachary had his ways.In the past few months, it

    Jordan didn't even glance at it, let alone take the cup.Westley remained calm and unruffled, sitting beside Jordan, drinking the water himself.He was composed to the extreme.Jordan seemed to not recognize him anymore.In the past, he would have been anxious, maybe even trying to use words to manipulate her, ultimately achieving his goal.But now... he gave up.They were already divorced.What he became had nothing to do with her.Zachary glanced at her and whispered to Jane, "Honey, I have something to tell you, it's important."Jane smiled and stared at him.Zachary understood what she meant and raised his hand to swear. "Really, or else..."Jane covered his mouth and shot him a glare.Zachary, however, smiled and pulled her hand away to hold it."Really, no intention to tease."Jordan felt a little confused, but Westley, based on their previous conversation and their interaction, had already guessed it.Seemed that he really was a friend who valued romance over frie

    Jonathan almost spit out the tea he was drinking."You have principles now?""Not the right time to talk nonsense."Westley. "Do you always talk in a way that pokes others' pain points?"Jonathan smiled for a moment. "If you've done it, don't be afraid of people talking about it."Westley didn't want to continue the conversation and stood up to leave.He went to the kitchen to find Jordan and found her eating ravioli."Didn't you say you'd help?" Westley sat next to her. "How come you're eating secretly? Give me a bite?"Jordan guarded the food. "It’s in the kitchen. There's still plenty in the pot.""But I want to eat from your bowl.""But I don't want to give you any."Westley laughed. "Okay."But while Jordan took a bite of the ravioli, he kissed her.Jordan's eyes widened as she felt the ravioli in her mouth being stolen away."You're disgusting."Westley smiled. "Sweet."Jordan couldn't eat anymore and pushed the remaining ravioli to him. "I'm not eating anymore."

    Now that she had remarried him, this was also her home, and there was no need to tidy up anymore."Really?" Westley turned her around. "It'll be troublesome to go to another room and come back for something later.""What do you mean?" Jordan felt like she didn't understand his words today. "Just spill it already."Westley nodded seriously. "Okay, I'll spill it. We're married now. From now on, when we come back here, we'll sleep together. If you don't tidy up and pack your things, there won't be anything for you in my room."Jordan understood. She suddenly smiled and patted his shoulder. "Who said that after marriage, we have to sleep in the same bed? If there's nothing of mine in your room, I'll sleep in my own room. It's not like you only have one room."Westley laughed. "Okay, you're being naughty now."Jordan replied, "You become like the people you spend time with."She finished speaking and ran off.She went to the kitchen to see Miranda and offer to help.Miranda told he

    "What is there to prepare?" Westley sat down with Jordan. "They're not strangers."Miranda gave her a glare and handed Jordan some fruit. "Look at me, still wearing my pajamas...""Jordy, it's not that I don't care about you. It's just that Westley didn't say anything, and you two... we also didn't want to ask too much. Wait for me to change into something proper. What would you like to eat? I'll personally cook for you."Jordan quickly stopped her. "No need, we're so familiar with each other already, Mom."Miranda froze, then after a long pause, she grasped Jordan's hand, wiping her tears as she said, “Okay.”Jordan gave Westley a look, and he handed her a tissue.She wiped Miranda's tears. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you worry.""It's our fault," Miranda patted her hand. "We never thought that Westley would do that.""You two grew up together and had a great relationship. We always thought, when we're gone, he'll be able to love you and take care of you well on our beha

    Jordan asked him, "You finished so quickly?""Why does it sound like you're unhappy that I came over?""No, it's just that your meetings used to take quite a long time."Westley casually ruffled her hair.Jordan wasn't happy. "You messed up my hairstyle!"Westley chuckled softly. "You're just had your hair down. Is it even styled?""You don't understand.""Alright, I don't understand."Westley pulled her back to the bedroom.Jordan wasn't happy. When they were going upstairs, he carried her back to the room."Do you really like kids that much?"Jordan put her hands against him to stop him from getting any closer."What, can't I like kids now? Henry and Sparrow are so cute."Westley caught both her hands and pinned them down. "Then should we have one too?"Jordan struggled. "Who said I want to have one with you?""Then who do you want to have one with?"Jordan kicked him with her leg. "Get off me."Westley bent down and asked, "Afraid of the pain?""Yes." Jordan was pi

    Jordan didn't really know—she had only come here to escape.Now, there wasn't much left to escape from.If it weren't for wanting to spend a few more days with Jane and the others, she would have already been ready to go back to work.Westley saw that she had been thinking for a long time without speaking and asked, "So, are you coming with me to the theme park, or playing with those two kids?"Jordan almost forgot—there were two adorable children here."Then I'll play with the kids.""What, still think I'm too old?"Jordan gave him a playful glare. "Stop bringing that up all the time. Don't think you can keep me trapped with that topic."Westley asked, "Then why not come to the theme park with me?""Weren't you the one who gave me the choice?"Jordan gave a soft snort. "If you only want one answer, then next time give me just one option.""Alright." Westley looked at her with eyes full of affection. "Whatever you say goes.""I've got a meeting—you go play with the kids."

    It felt very unreal.It felt like she was dreaming."Will you marry me?""Huh?"Jordan was completely dazed, thinking she would hear him say a lot of touching words.But in the end, all she heard were just those simple words."Are you... talking?"Westley nodded. "Yes. Will you marry me?"For a moment, Jordan truly wanted to throw the flowers at his face.But then she remembered her conversation with Charlotte.And she felt that Charlotte had a point.They were already married, yet Westley still wanted to give her a sense of ceremony.Even if he didn't say any romantic lines, she wouldn't be able to refuse his proposal now.With that thought in mind, she reached out her hand."I will!"Westley slipped the ring onto her finger, stood up, and hugged her.Jordan heard him whisper softly in her ear. "I'm really nervous. It's my first time doing something like this, so I don’t know what to say—I was afraid I'd cry. Give me a little grace. Whatever you want to hear, I'll say

    "Okay."Jordan started to feel something was off. "Charlotte, I remember you didn't like the smell of cigarettes. Didn't Frank stop smoking after being with you?"Charlotte responded calmly, "Not really. If I didn't like the smell of cigarettes, I wouldn't have gotten along with Jane for so many years. She was already smoking when I first met her. Also, Frank didn't stop smoking just because he was with me. It was only later, when I was pregnant and feeling unwell, that he stayed by my side and simply forgot about it. Men have a lot of work pressure too. If he smokes now and out of my sight, I think I should try to understand that. That's what being a couple means."Jordan was persuaded. "Yeah, I guess you’re right. There should be mutual understanding. I do act a bit spoiled sometimes."Charlotte said, "When I talk about understanding, I don't mean compromise. If there's something you really can't accept, it still needs to be discussed between the two of you."Jordan was confused

    "Wow."Jane and Charlotte stood at the doorway, watching with great interest.It was quite the appetizing show.Zachary and Frank, on the other hand, weren't interested, and headed to the yard to set up the grill.Frank chatted casually with him. "He's been proving himself for two days now—why do you keep poking at his age? He even made you bleed."Zachary said, "I did it for the greater good. Look at them now, kissing like they can't bear to part."Frank cocked his brows and said nothing in response.Jordan overheard Jane and Charlotte's voices.Her face turned completely red from embarrassment.She couldn't push Westley away, so she had no choice but to bite him.When he relaxed his grip, she took the chance to run.She didn't even dare glance at Jane and Charlotte at the door.Back in her room, she buried herself under the blanket.So embarrassing.Downstairs, Jane and Charlotte, satisfied with the show, headed to the yard.Westley, meanwhile, went upstairs.Sure eno

    'What was that?'Jordan truly had nothing in her head but confusion.She had just been teased by Jane outside.She thought that since she hadn't come downstairs in the past couple of days, everyone already knew—Westley was... not impotent.Why was Frank saying things like that now?"Frank, what are you talking about?""Nothing."Frank left the kitchen and sat next to Charlotte.After Jane finished tending to Zachary's wound, she even fed him some food.The man held his wife in his arms and asked in a low voice, "All your friends are bringing their husbands food. Why aren't you doing the same?"Charlotte smiled. "That's because Jane took a bite and didn't like it. She thought it would be wasteful, so she gave it to Zachary."Frank played with her hand and asked, "Is there nothing you don't like to eat?""Nope."In the kitchen—Jordan sensed that Westley was upset. She reached out and hugged him, asking, "Did Zachary and the others tease you?"Westley finished handling wha
