Especially the ones she never used to like, she always wanted to try them.Jane's pregnancy was progressing smoothly, but the reactions were probably even stronger."I'll have Alan send them over. He’s meticulous, so Zachary won’t find out. But I won’t buy too much, just a little to show my intentions.""Love you! Xxx."To avoid Frank leaking any information, Charlotte said goodbye and went to work her charms.Jane scrolled through her phone and waited.Just as she was starting to feel drowsy, there was a knock at the door.The knock was rhythmic.She thought it was Alan, so she quickly opened the door.But she didn’t see his face.Looking down, she saw a little boy."You’re not my mom."The little boy frowned. "But why are you in Room 6001?"Jane looked at him, puzzled."Little one, you’ve gone to the wrong room. This is the ninth floor.""It’s impossible, I pressed the button for the sixth floor, I couldn’t have made a mistake."With a click, the door across the hallw
In his eyes, there was a flicker of a smile.Jordan was annoyed by his gaze.But she also knew that the more she ignored Westley, the more persistent he became."What I said at the hospital wasn’t what I meant."After a brief silence, Westley spoke again to explain."I admit, my way of handling things was clumsy. I shouldn't have used the filming excuse to get you to leave. But at that time, I really didn’t want you to see me in such a sorry state. I care about my image, and I deserve the way you treat me."Jordan put on her headphones.Westley was rendered speechless.It was really difficult.He had wanted to fix their relationship, to apologize properly and make up for his past mistakes.But he kept messing up.He kept pushing her away.Now, their marriage was really over.And the injury issue didn’t ease the tension—it only made things worse."Young man, your apology lacks sincerity. No wonder the young lady doesn’t forgive you," the driver said, unable to watch any lo
Jordan got directly out of the car and walked away.She hadn't actually turned on the headphones, so she had heard the entire conversation between Westley and the driver.It wasn't really surprising to her.Westley was that kind of person.He could understand care, he could understand romance, he could understand anything that received positive feedback.But when it came to apologizing...He had been at the top since birth, always looking down on the world from the summit.The word "apology" did not exist in his vocabulary.The moment he said "sorry," she was shocked.Seeing his humility, his pleading, and his regret.But she hadn't been swayed.Because that was just a tactic for him, not a genuine realization of his mistake.Westley didn’t know that, during the time it took for him to pay, Jordan had thought about all of this.Right now, his mind was filled with the driver’s words.It seemed that, all along, he hadn’t really apologized sincerely.Anyone could just say a
But Jordan did not call the police.As she hung up the phone, several tall, strong men entered.Jax also came in, standing in front of him to protect him.The men did not do anything to Westley, but the leader spoke first. "Mr. Howard, you'd better let go. We only take orders from Ms. Hickey. If you insist on holding onto her, then we will have to use force."Westley glanced at the "Collins" insignia on his chest, and cursed Zachary inwardly.Zachary, in the hotel, sneezed several times.He felt innocent and sad.Jordan looked at the time, it was too late.She did not want to waste any more time here."Do it."The men from the Collins family had no choice but to act.They forcibly moved Westley's hand off Jordan.But Westley was no pushover. On his own turf, he couldn't let anyone humiliate him.Soon, the two sides were entangled.Jordan saw her side was losing and was trying to figure out a way.Suddenly, she was lifted off the ground.The scene before her reversed.S
The moment the kiss fell, Jordan felt the taste of blood.Her lips stung.She wanted to dodge, constantly retreating.The man followed her, securing her between the headboard and his chest.The kiss deepened!When his hot palm landed on her body, Jordan’s eyes widened.Her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.She tried to bite the man, but he easily dodged it.This only resulted in a fiercer assault.Tears began to fall uncontrollably.The kiss, tainted with blood, continued.The man tasted the salty wetness and paused.His eyes were dark, and he pinched her chin, kissing her tears.Yet, the tears flowed endlessly, like a running faucet.Westley moved back slightly, still gazing at her eyes, where desire still churned.But the harshness never left."Jordy, you can hate me, you can keep your distance from me, you can refuse to remarry me, but I can't lose contact with you. So, have a child for me.""You're crazy!" Jordan’s eyes were about to pop out. "Westley, li
Jordan sat for a long time after she finished using the bathroom.She wiped herself, flushing the toilet.Westley turned and entered, bending down to pick her up.Slap!A slap landed on his face.Jordan's hand was trembling, and her palm instantly turned red.Westley’s face bore not only the slap mark but also bloodstains, showing the intensity of Jordan’s anger and strength.Jordan had probably used all her strength.Westley merely tilted his jaw and carried her back to the bed.Jordan had no strength left to resist.She knew there was no point in fighting back.She couldn't break free from him."Westley, what do you really want?"Westley shook his head. "I don't know...""You do." Jordan exposed him. "You want me to love you again."Westley held her hand, his posture lowered to the minimum. "Can you do that?"Jordan stared at him for a few seconds before asking, "Westley, do you love me?""Yes," Westley affirmed.Jordan snorted coldly, her tone mocking. "Westley, yo
Westley immediately wrapped Jordan in a blanket.So, he couldn’t avoid Jane's slap.After two slaps, the fingerprints were clearly visible.He didn’t care, reaching out to push Zachary out of the room.Zachary couldn’t see anything but Jane in his eyes.He was too worried.From the moment she received the news, Jane ran to the car, then onto the private plane.It was only a little over two hours of flight, but he was so anxious that his heart stopped several times.After getting off the plane, she rushed over.Now, she was extremely upset."Don’t touch me." He had no good attitude towards Westley anymore.He directly instructed someone to come in and control Westley.Jax also came in with people to protect Westley, but Westley stopped them at the door.Carter stepped ou t of the crowd, walking in with an air of indifference.He swiftly injected Westley with a sedative.Jane ordered everyone to leave the room.Zachary, still worried, wanted to call a caregiver.Jane pus
Carter closed the medical record book and put the pen in the pocket on his chest.He said indifferently to Zachary, "It's nothing serious. I have the miscarriage prevention medicine from my sister-in-law. It's just temporary bleeding caused by emotional excitement, but it has stopped now. A couple of days of rest will be enough."Jordan felt too guilty to lift her head. "Jane, I... "Jane covered her mouth. "I don’t want to hear those words anymore. Don't blame yourself for everything. When you’re scared, the first person you think of should be me. That’s because we’re sisters.""But...""Have you not eaten anything?" Jane interrupted and looked at Roy. "Go buy something. Something sweet."Roy immediately went to take care of it.Jane patted Jordan's hand. "Once you eat, get some rest. This single-occupancy room has a big bed, and no one will disturb you.""We’ll talk about everything tomorrow."Jordan didn’t know how to apologize or what to say.She was physically and mental
Jordan only glanced indifferently for less than five seconds before continuing with the shoot.Jasmine also saw Westley, but her impression of him was just average now.Although she liked forced love in games or novels, in reality, it was truly terrifying.There were still scars on Jordan's wrist that hadn't completely faded.Yesterday, she had heard from Jane about what Westley had done, which made her even angrier.Being handsome, rich, and powerful—did that make him so special?Well... it did...Jordan had no idea what Jasmine was thinking. She only saw her standing there, kicking at the ground, muttering something under her breath.She looked quite upset.Jordan found it amusing.She wasn't even angry herself."Jasmine, come hold the reflector."Jasmine came back to her senses and hurried over.Not far away, Connie had been observing Westley's expression closely.He was trying to analyze his emotions.He even took out a notepad and started jotting things down.Roy s
"I think yesterday's time spent in nature was effective."Connie didn't care whether Roy responded or not and began making arrangements on his own.Roy followed them to a church.Unfortunately, a film was being shot there, and the place was surrounded.Not only that, but there were also a lot of fans.Amid their screams, he heard a familiar name—Michael.‘Damn.’He looked closely and saw that the banners the fans were holding had Michael's photo on them.This was truly a case of enemies crossing paths."I really didn't expect there to be a film shoot happening here."Connie said regretfully, "But this is the most famous church around."Roy didn't understand how coming to a church would help with treatment.The only thing he could do was find a way to get Connie to bring Westley inside."Mr. Howard, I'll handle it."Westley gave a slight nod.Roy went to negotiate.He quickly returned and led Westley and Connie inside.He couldn't help but ask, "Dr. Connie, why insist o
When Jordan landed, she received a message from Yasmin.Yasmin informed her that someone had been arranged to pick her up and sent her the contact details.She was instructed to reach out after leaving the airport and head straight to the film site."Okay."After replying, Jordan called the contact.Following the directions given, she quickly found the person."Ms. Hickey."The man opened the car door and introduced himself, "I'm Mr. Hall's assistant. Just call me Lewis."Jordan found the name somewhat familiar.Meanwhile, Jasmine grabbed her arm excitedly."It's Michael Hall! I'm a huge fan of his! He's one of the men in that game I play! They modeled one of the characters after his face—he's so handsome!"Jordan had heard of Michael Hall before.Because of Jane, there had once been some gossip about him.But work was work—nothing personal.However, the content of this shoot would be displayed on a large screen later.She wasn't sure if it would be shown in Jeswood, but
"Besides, I didn't even download that game."She hadn't even seen clearly what it was.Zachary rested his chin on her shoulder, his nose brushing against her neck as he took in her scent.His deep, attractive voice carried a hint of grievance. "I feel like you've been upset with me lately, acting cold and distant. And now, seeing how you wanted to look at other men today, I suppose you're tired of me, huh? You were even reminiscing about the past. So, I robbed you of the chance to enjoy being surrounded by admirers, is that it? Honey, am I not good enough for you? You're actually thinking about other men?""Huh?" Jane was so amused she laughed. "Maybe you should go get your brain checked at the hospital."Zachary hummed in agreement. "I probably should. If they scan it, I'm sure it'll just be filled with your name—completely love-struck."Jane burst out laughing. She turned her head and kissed his thin lips.Zachary took the opportunity to deepen the kiss.The driver silently r
Jane asked Jasmine, "How do you play this game? I want to try it too.""They say that looking at handsome men more often will result in having handsome children. That way, my son will be worthy of becoming Charlotte's son-in-law."Jasmine loved sharing this kind of fun with others, but Jordan secretly poked her.Jordan knew the tempers of Zachary and Frank.Even if it was just men in an otome game, her sister and Charlotte couldn't look at them too much.Since Jasmine was her assistant, she had to protect her."You can play this game by yourself. My sister doesn't need it. My brother-in-law is so handsome, and my sister is so beautiful. Their children will definitely be better looking than these game models."Jordan had already hinted crazily, blinking so much that her eyes were about to wear out."Oh my!" Jordan exaggerated her actions. "My eyes feel so uncomfortable today."Jane and Charlotte exchanged glances and burst into laughter.Jane turned to Charlotte and said, "Isn
It was nothing more than him giving Jane an explanation by sending Westley abroad.And Westley knew that he had been too harsh with Jordan this time, so he went to reflect on what he had done.After landing, Charlotte came to pick them up.Jasmine blended in quickly, and the four girls immediately made plans to have a meal together.Frank and Zachary walked behind. The former's steps were lazy.Frank asked Zachary, "Did Carter ask you for help?"Zachary asked in return, "Did he ask you as well?"Frank clicked his tongue. "Last time, my wife made clothes for Mrs. Scholfield, and she really liked them. She has a very good relationship with the eldest daughter-in-law of the Hilton family.""You could say, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Hilton family is Mrs. Scholfield's little fan. She listens to and supports whatever Mrs. Scholfield says.""Since it didn't work on you, she's trying to make moves through me."Zachary's voice remained steady. "I advise you not to get involved.
"What the f..."Jane held back the urge to curse.In the end, she didn’t say anything.Because whatever she said would certainly not sound nice.She had to consider the baby’s well-being.Jordan noticed that Jane was upset and didn’t continue the topic.Zachary had expected this and held her gently, soothing her."So, I’m not helping him. What he did was wrong? I’m well-behaved, aren’t I?"Jane sighed softly. "When I ignored you before, didn’t you also forcefully pursue me?""It’s different." Zachary rubbed against her neck. "I knew you had feelings for me."Jane pushed him. "Get off, I’m trying to be angry here."Zachary eased up a little but still held onto her."Don’t be upset. What do you want to eat? I’ll go buy it for you.""I’m not eating."Jane wasn’t in the mood to eat.She wouldn’t let someone else’s issues cause a conflict between her and Zachary.But she just felt uneasy."Jane, here’s some candy for you."Jordan reached over from the front seat. "You told
"I only know this much."Jane handed the snacks to Jordan again.Zachary chuckled softly. "You really love gossip.""Of course."Seeing her admit it directly, with such a proud look, Zachary’s smile softened with affection.Jordan felt like she should have been under the car."Go ahead," Jane urged her.Jordan continued, "Once he knew Mandy wasn't his biological sister, Carter's feelings became obvious, but Mandy couldn’t accept it. Plus, Mandy Greyson was always targeting her, and Carter protected her fiercely. For her, he didn’t even care about his biological sister.""Mandy Morris didn’t want to cause a rift between the siblings because of her, and she really had monopolized Mandy Greyson’s good days for over a decade. When Mandy Greyson finally managed to escape the mountains and had suffered a lot. Therefore, Mandy Morris left the Greyson family."Jane didn’t understand. "How is what you’re saying related to their feelings? Is that why Mandy could hate Carter so much?"J
"Do you mean, give up?"Zachary replied indifferently, "Shouldn't I give up?"Carter rarely managed to pull a smile, but it was extremely cold."Advising others to give up, then why did you... not give up on her?"Zachary followed Carter's gaze and looked into the car.Jane was sitting upright, but clearly eavesdropping.With a smile in his eyes, he looked at her, but his words were aimed at Carter."I’m different from you guys, she loves me."Jane shot him a glare.Zachary didn't waste more time and bent down to get into the car.The car drove out of the hospital's underground car park.Jane looked through the rearview mirror and noticed that Carter was still standing in the same spot.All this time, her impression of Carter was that he was cold, ruthless, and quiet.He didn't seem like a doctor, but his medical skills were impressive, healing one patient after another.But at this moment, all she saw in him was desolation.She asked Zachary, "Is Carter’s love life this
