Chapter 1108

Penulis: Lean
"Charlotte!"

Charlotte nodded at Jordan, then looked at Jane and said, "You're being a bit reckless."

Jane hooked her arm around hers. "Oh, it's just so boring at home."

Charlotte knew that Jane was the kind of person who couldn't sit still.

She used to say she didn't want kids and didn't want to be tied down.

But after getting unexpectedly pregnant and being stuck at home for so long, it was no surprise that she was looking for some excitement.

But this kind of excitement wasn't what she needed.

"Charlotte, I'm happy today."

Jane had found her little sister, and Charlotte was also happy.

If it weren't for Sparrow insisting that she tell a story, she would have gone over to eat and celebrate with them.

But after sending the child to bed, when she checked her phone, she saw that Jane was planning to go to the black market.

"You've been out for a while now. You don't need to go in. Let me handle it for you. Do you not trust me?"

Jane shook her head. "You're the person I trust

    As they passed by a clothing store, Jane said to Charlotte, "The patterns on these clothes are really terrifying."Charlotte nodded. "Yes."The designs were dark elements that wouldn't be found in ordinary clothes.The embroidery techniques on the garments were also different from those they had seen in Nelana.The spider lilies were entirely black, with a hint of red at the center, and the special stitching made it look enchanting and seductive, as if it were alive, almost flowing."Charlotte!" Jane suddenly shouted, pulling Charlotte inside. "There’s a woman underneath!"Charlotte widened her eyes and looked. Beneath the spider lily, there indeed was a beautiful woman, but unlike the flower, her outline was drawn in white thread, pure and holy.It was stunning!Charlotte couldn't help but want to touch it, but a hand, so thin it seemed to have no flesh, resembling a skeleton at first glance, stopped her."You can't touch it."Charlotte looked up. The person was wearing a re

    The familiar voice suddenly woke Charlotte up.She staggered back, only to be steadied by a large hand.Zachary had already walked over and held Jane in his arms.Westley had just reached Jordan's side when she quickly ran to Jane, putting distance between them.Westley felt like he was the odd one out."Charlotte, are you alright?" Jane was the first to break the silence.Charlotte shook her head.Jane looked at the shopkeeper with a hint of anger in her eyes."You’re just making things up. If anything happens to my friend, I will make you pay."The shopkeeper remained calm. "I'm just doing my duty, waiting for the owner of this clothing. Once they arrive, I will naturally inform them."Jane wanted to say more but was gently pulled by Zachary.Before she could react, the man had already lifted her up in his arms and left the night market.Similarly, Charlotte was also carried out by Frank in the same manner.Jordan quickly caught up, but suddenly saw something and turned

    Jordan pursed her lips and nodded slightly.Who could have thought that the person who had always been very scheming, the one who always deceived her, would actually be sincere for once?"You two can flirt and walk ahead. Over there, they sell all kinds of little toys, even foreign drugs, guaranteed to make you feel like you're in heaven," the frail man ushered them away. "Don't be an eyesore here, and don't waste my time."Westley pulled Jordan aside, avoiding the whip the frail man was holding.Jordan frowned. "I think that isn’t an ordinary whip.""Shh." Westley pinched her mouth shut. "Be patient."Jordan had no choice but to wait.Meanwhile, Jane was placed into the car by Zachary, who instructed Ross to drive."Wait!" she called out, and Ross stopped the car.Zachary gritted his teeth and felt that he needed a new driver.Jane held his face and kissed him. "Jordan hasn't caught up yet.""Someone will take care of her," Zachary kicked the front seat. "Drive."Jane was

    She rubbed her face, suddenly feeling a bit scared.What if something happened to her? What would Frank do? What about Sparrow? And her mother?"Sorry."Frank poured her a glass of water, soothingly rubbing her neck."Why are you apologizing? You haven't done anything wrong."Charlotte took a sip of the water and asked, "Do you know what happened back there?""I'm not entirely sure. I haven't been to the black market much, but this shop has been around for a long time. People have asked about it before, but I haven't seen them since."Frank noticed she was trembling and pulled her into his embrace.He explained and comforted her. "I heard it's related to the ancient sorcery from Milast. The key lies in that piece of clothing, but how it works is unclear. Don't worry. I'll look into it. You should rest well for the next couple of days."Charlotte suddenly remembered. "Did Jordan catch up with us?"Frank squeezed her neck tightly, almost as a punishment."Have you forgotten ab

    The frail man sneered. "So naive. Why don't you sit here with me, I'll make sure to sell it to you at a good price. If you're a virgin..."Before he could finish his sentence, a heavy punch landed on his lecherous face.Westley struck again and again, twisting the frail man's face with each blow.Blood poured out, and two of his teeth were left behind in the blood.The sight of the red blood in Westley's dark pupils made Jordan feel a chill, and she could see the murderous rage in his eyes.She quickly stepped forward to stop him."Wes..."She was about to call his name but remembered the place.She couldn't expose her identity here.She quickly changed her tone. "Uncle Westley, please stop hitting him!"Westley's fierce expression faltered.In that moment of distraction, someone swung a club at her. He instinctively pulled her into his arms."Ugh!"The club hit his broad back and snapped instantly, showing the force behind the blow.Westley didn't even want to imagine wh

    Jordan poked her head out of Westley's embrace and found that they had been surrounded.Perhaps they thought they couldn't escape, and after throwing that club, they didn't continue attacking.The weak man clapped his hands, and the sarcasm in his voice was clear. "I love watching the desperate lovers' drama. Once I tie the male up, I'll let him watch as the female gets sold off. The look of despair on her face will be just so satisfying."‘Pervert,’ Jordan cursed inwardly.She knew this wasn't the time for arguing.She also regretted coming here.At the same time, she felt relieved that Jane and Charlotte had already left."Sorry..." she apologized to Westley.No matter how their relationship had broken down or how things had been before.Right now, it was indeed her fault.If she hadn't been so stubborn, unable to accept help, she wouldn't have dragged him into danger with her.Most importantly, she had finally gotten a divorce from Westley.She really didn't want to get

    Jordan didn't have much interaction with Carter, and there wasn't much to say.She anxiously waited outside the emergency room.She held her phone but didn't know who to call.It was Frank who heard the news and rushed over with Charlotte.Charlotte hugged Jordan. "It's okay, don't be afraid."Jordan seemed to find an outlet for her emotions and started speaking in broken sentences to Charlotte about what had just happened."It's all my fault... If it weren't for me..."Charlotte listened while gently patting her back to comfort her."It's not your fault. You did the right thing. They were hurting endangered wild animals, and it was their fault. It's illegal.""But he always protected me, even when he fell..."Their relationship was too complicated.Getting to this point wasn't something that could be explained in just a few sentences.Charlotte didn't feel she had the right to judge anything. She could only comfort Jordan for now. "Personally, I think, as a man, and as som

    In the ward.Just as Jordan was about to approach the bed, she suddenly stopped.Her doe-like eyes were still glistening with tears.Her face was full of worry.But for some reason, her feet wouldn't move.A long time passed.Long enough for her thoughts to wander far away.From when she first arrived at the Howard family, to the breakdown of her relationship with Westley, then to the divorce, and now, Westley was lying in the hospital bed.His face was covered by an oxygen mask, and with each breath, a thin mist appeared and disappeared.Jordan had never seen Westley look so vulnerable.He rarely got sick.With his background, no one had ever given him a hard time.The times when he had to be hospitalized seemed to always be because of her.She had been rejected by Westley when she confessed, and later, when they married, she had been neglected for three years. She had been angry, resentful.She had even scolded him harshly.But now, thinking back on it.What had Westl

    Caleb was thinking that in the future, he could let her drink a little more.Of course, only when he was around.She looked kind of cute like this."I did say that, but didn't you just say you wanted to thank me?"Whitney felt that alcohol really wasn't a good thing.Even when hanging out with Jane and the others, she decided not to drink too much anymore.The rationality and logic that she was so proud of had completely vanished.She had never been as calm in front of Caleb as she was with others.Besides, there was a power imbalance between her and him.If she were sober, she wouldn't have been able to reject him anyway.Let alone now, when her mind was muddled.But maybe because she was muddled, she dared to say things that she didn’t usually dare to say."I just lost my balance earlier, and you helped me. Even if you don't accept verbal gratitude, that doesn't mean I owe you something this big."Caleb saw she could barely stand, so he held her by the waist to keep her

    "But your reaction just now didn’t seem like you knew I was here."Jane tried to pull her leg back, but when she couldn't, she slapped him in frustration."It was called acting, understand? I didn't want you to look embarrassed, so I got those two out of the way first."Zachary rubbed her ankle with his thumb, as if he believed her. "Then should I be thanking you—for being so considerate?"Jane couldn't be bothered to argue. "Let go. I want to drink.""I'll drink with you."Meanwhile, Frank held Charlotte close and asked in a low voice, "Did she really know we were here?"Charlotte nodded. "What do you think? You really think Jane would mess around during her marriage? She might be bold, but she has boundaries. But you guys really are annoying."Frank hooked her chin with his thumb. "I knew it. You're being cold to me because you're sick of me. I've said it so many times, and you still wouldn't admit it."After saying that, he picked her up and walked out of the bar.He hadn'

    Charlotte nudged him with her elbow, warning him not to stir things up.Jordan truly didn't dare to stay any longer. "Westley, take me home.""Okay." Westley finally got up. "You all take your time. If it gets too late, don't go back to the old house—just find a place to crash.""But..." Jordan suddenly felt like leaving wasn't such a good idea. "Maybe I'll stay and play a bit more."Westley simply dragged her out."Jane and Zachary...""You can't control what they do, so why bother worrying over nothing?"Jordan was settled into the passenger seat, her seatbelt fastened firmly.She didn't resist, mostly because she felt what Westley said made sense.Jane was way more capable than she was. This kind of minor drama would be easy for her to handle.Plus, with the smart and composed Charlotte around—It was better if she didn't add to the chaos.Once Westley got into the driver's seat, she asked, "Why did you guys show up? Especially you—didn't you say no seeing each other a w

    But it was just a polite gesture—if they had been singing inside, they wouldn't have heard her anyway.So after knocking, she pushed the door open and went in.Charlotte and the others followed to take a look.When they saw the scene inside, they gasped.The four men from home were sitting around a cards table, all eyes on the door, each with a different expression.Zachary looked at Jane, who entered first, and said with a smile, "Honey, pick someone you like and give him a kiss."Jane took a step back and bumped into Charlotte's arms.That was when she noticed the big screen beside them—it was showing their own private room."You were watching us?"Zachary tapped the cards on the table with his long fingers, still smiling."If we weren't watching, how would we get to enjoy such an entertaining scene?"They had all been drinking.Whitney didn't hold her liquor well. She was already a little dazed. Although the room was fairly bright, everything seemed a little off to her.

    Caleb didn't respond. Instead, he looked at Westley and played a card.Westley won.And it was a big pot as well.He cocked his brows. "Is this your wedding gift to me, Caleb?"Caleb asked, "Your wedding—Dr. Greyson won't be absent, will he? I heard you two are very close. You've been at death's door multiple times, and he's the one who saved you."Westley nodded. "Theoretically, yes. But I'm not sure if he might have some emergency.""Besides, it's not like you, Caleb, can't reach him. You helped him last time. It's impossible he'd ignore you now."Caleb could contact Carter, but if he did, it would mean helping Carter meet Mandy.He had no interest in meddling in romantic matters—too troublesome.But he couldn't get in touch with Tanner at all.Technically, there was no real need for him to attend Westley's wedding.Even if Whitney was invited by Jane, he himself wasn't obligated.He simply wanted to go, hoping to "accidentally" run into Carter.That way, it wouldn't loo

    Frank pulled her into his arms and asked, "You really have to go out for drinks?"Charlotte nodded. "It's a girls-only night. No men allowed.""Oh?" The man repeated slowly and deliberately, "No… men… allowed?"Charlotte saw the look on his face and knew exactly what he was thinking."Only women. Even the drinks are for women.""Oh? Tell me, how do you tell if a drink is male or female?"Charlotte lightly patted his face twice. "The drinks women drink are for women. Got it?"Frank laughed. "Got it."Over on Jane's end, after finishing her call, she was about to go look for Jordan, but Zachary pulled her into the room and pinned her against the wall.His warm lips covered hers, then quickly pulled away.With his forehead against hers, the man asked, "Going out for drinks?"Jane hooked his chin with her finger. "What, Mr. Collins, trying to seduce your way into a drinking invitation?"Zachary chuckled lowly, kissed her again, and asked, "May I?""No."Jane rejected him comp

    Jordan had grown up in the Howard family, but the person who had taken care of her since she was little had an old house.She arranged for Jane and the others to stay there, and she would also be getting married from that house.She didn't have many friends. Originally, Leanne was supposed to be her bridesmaid. Although she had a child, she had never been married.But Leanne wasn't sure if she could make it back in time, so she let Jane and Charlotte take over as substitutes for now. They would adjust accordingly later."Try on the dress. If there's a problem, I can still make adjustments."With the help of the two of them, Jordan put on the wedding dress.But Jane was most looking forward to the wedding dress.Both her and Charlotte's weddings were going to be Cherian style.Jordan, however, wanted a Western-style one.And Charlotte, who had designed clothes for many years, had never actually designed a wedding dress before.This was her first attempt, and she was very excit

    "Okay, I won't bring it up anymore."Westley walked over with Jonathan and sat down.Miranda was very satisfied. "Finally, Jordy can have dinner with me again."Jordan smiled. "I'm also happy. I can still call you Mom.""Then let's drink to that.""Okay."Westley waited for the "mother and daughter" to finish speaking, then threw out a big announcement. "By the way, our wedding is on the 22nd of next month."Clang!The spoon in Miranda's hand fell."What did you say?""On the 22nd of next month, Jordy and I are getting married. We sincerely invite you and your husband to attend."Jordan was also shocked.She only knew that Charlotte's dress was being made, and they were picking the wedding date.But Westley hadn't told her about this in advance."Next month, it's almost the New Year.""Yes, it's a wedding before the New Year. Then we'll celebrate the New Year at home. I'm informing you in advance, my dear mom. You can prepare for the the New Year Eve dinner.""The New Y

    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."
