Buck served Westley the longest.Jax and Silas were always out, keeping an eye on other matters.Because Buck was assigned to go with Jordan, Jax was transferred to Westley's side.However, Buck had some understanding of the situation between Westley and Jordan.He had not hidden anything that had happened recently and had shared everything with Buck."I think it's hard to go back. Even if they force themselves to be together, their later years will be filled with scars."After hearing this, Buck felt like his head was about to explode.He hadn't expected that after spending time in the small room, there would be something even bigger than locking up Jordan.If the man Jordan met was truly her cousin...Then their boss's task of winning her over would be like playing a game in veteran mode."Why didn't you stop him?" asked Buck.Jax sighed. "I wanted to."But after all, Westley was the master, and they, as soldiers, could only obey orders.Buck didn't want to think too muc
Zachary had a faint smile on his lips. "I've quit. I have a wife and kid now."Nathan exhaled a puff of smoke, his face somewhat obscured but also showing a bit of coldness."Knowing my identity beforehand, your performance wasn't great.""If Westley knew I was Jordan's cousin, he wouldn't have acted so recklessly."Zachary responded indifferently, "Everyone has their own abilities."Nathan extinguished his cigarette and patted Zachary's shoulder twice.The two of them returned to the private room.They had one last drink before the meal ended.Zachary had arranged for a hotel.Jane had originally planned for Jordan to go home, but since she was heading to Impelia early the next morning, she decided to stay at the hotel."Remember to send me a message.""Okay," Jordan obediently agreed and watched Jane leave.She then entered the hotel.After parting ways with Nathan on the first floor, she swiped her access card and entered her room.After turning on the lights, she aske
Jordan felt a bit excited, and only managed to doze off for a little while when it was nearly dawn.Jasmine was the same, but the reason for her excitement was different from Jordan's.After meeting Nathan, she felt that the "husbands" in her phone wasn't as appealing anymore.No matter whether she was worthy of Nathan or not, even having a short-lived relationship would still be worth it."Are you sure?"The two of them got up early and washed up together.Jordan, with toothpaste in her mouth, asked in a muffled voice when she heard Jasmine's decision.Jasmine nodded."It's worth a try.""Mr. Jackson has good qualities in many aspects. Having such an outstanding ex could also be something to brag about in the future."Jordan felt that Nathan wasn't someone who would play with feelings.If he truly liked someone, he would definitely take good care of them.The key point was that he didn't like her.After rinsing her mouth, she reminded, "You haven't even confirmed anything
Nathan had been trained from a young age, and there were almost no women around him.At that time, the Jackson family was unstable, and all their focus was on how to grow quickly.The only women around were the female relatives of the family.He vaguely remembered one girl.She was a girl he had rescued during a mission.What impressed him the most was that, in such an environment, she didn't even cry.When she saw him, she smiled and said, "You're so handsome."She had been sold by her parents because she was a girl.Her family had three younger brothers who needed money.When he returned her, her family wasn't happy.Nathan noticed that she might be sold again and even allowed her to stay at his place for a while.Later, she passed the exam and left, and he never saw her again.At that time, the Jackson family was also in turmoil.They moved from Yelar to Impelia.Over time, he gradually forgot about her.Maybe she was already living a wonderful life now."No," Nathan
But someone with such a background couldn't avoid the need for an arranged marriage.That was why she asked if he was married.However, matchmaking was one thing. People’s feelings was another. One’s feelings couldn’t be forced."During this time, create more opportunities for them. If there's chemistry, things will naturally develop. If not, find Jasmine another handsome guy. Don't hang all your hopes on one person."Jordan replied with an acknowledgment emoji.She put her phone away and began to plan the next steps.Unconsciously, she fell asleep.Nathan brought a blanket and covered Jordan.Then he covered himself with a blanket and went to sleep.He knew that Jasmine was someone Jordan had brought along, but he wouldn't personally take care of her. After all, they didn't have a blood relationship.He didn't want any misunderstandings.So, he instructed the flight attendants accordingly.Though he had never been in a relationship and had never liked anyone,He knew that
The two of them spent a long time exchanging stickers.They completely forgot about the important conversation they had just been having.At that moment, a flight attendant came over to remind them to fasten their seatbelts and prepare for landing.Jordan put away her phone.Oh well, she would find another opportunity later.Before that, she needed to ask Nathan what he thought about it.The hotel Nathan arranged for them.It wasn’t the right time to bring Jordan back to the Jackson family yet.However, during the filming period, he could arrange a blind date for her.“The hotel has food, and there are plenty of good restaurants and fun places nearby. You can plan your own schedule. I have something to take care of today, so I won’t be able to accompany you. If you need anything, call me.” He looked at Jordan and said warmly, “Do whatever you want, just put it on my tab.”Jordan smiled sweetly, her tone carrying a hint of playfulness. “Having an older brother is so nice.”Na
Nathan pulled out a chair and sat across from the man.They started talking about the filming project.Max Jenson immediately arranged for someone to take care of the project.“You’re always giving me more work to do. If you ask me, you should just acknowledge her directly instead of going in such a roundabout way.”Nathan thought of Westley, and his voice turned a little cold. “It’s been worth it.”“Are you preparing to completely fall out with the Howard family?”“They were the ones who acted dishonorably first.”Max didn’t really care—he was just here for the show.“But let me remind you, no matter what, the Howard family’s status is still quite high. We might have influence in Impelia, but their ancestors earned merit.”Nathan’s gaze darkened. “I don’t care about their ancestors. If they dared to bully my sister, they must pay the price.”Jordan had been to Impelia before.She took Jasmine around, revisiting places she hadn’t been able to capture on camera before.They
Jane. "If you like him, go for it. Fair competition."Jane. "You haven’t even confessed, and he hasn’t rejected you. But just because he’s on a blind date, you’re both panicking?"Jordan showed the message to Jasmine and asked for her thoughts.Because the truth was, she hadn’t actually expressed her feelings, and Nathan hadn’t clearly refused her either.Right now, it was just a blind date, not a marriage arrangement.She still felt there was a chance.It was just a matter of whether Jasmine was willing to take a bold step.Jasmine shook her head. "Forget it. Didn’t Jane say not to get stuck on just one person? I’ll find another handsome guy."Jordan replied to Jane, passing on Jasmine’s decision.Jane responded, "Alright, I’ll introduce her to some good-looking guys later. While you’re in Impelia, keep an eye out—there are plenty of handsome men there. If you like someone, go for it. Have fun while you're young."Zachary, who was listening nearby, frowned slightly and said
"Jane, don't argue with Zachary. This time, I am staying here voluntarily," said Jordan."I’ve made a bet with Westley, and there will be a resolution in the end."Jane nodded. "I can let you handle this matter yourself, but you have to promise me that you won’t let yourself get hurt, and you won’t just keep sacrificing yourself. If it becomes unbearable, give it up. I’ll always be here to support you."Jordan nodded. "Okay."The two sisters chatted for a long time, and only when Jane started to feel sleepy did they end the video call.Jordan handed the phone to Buck and closed the door to her room.Buck was left standing there.He felt like he had been completely abandoned, as if everything around him had fallen apart.Anyway, as a sandwich in the middle, he was already crushed, so it didn’t matter anymore.For several days, Jordan got up to eat, and the food was always food prepared by the chef.She hadn’t seen Westley around.She couldn’t really say how she felt. She just
"He is faking his psychological illness," Jordan rebutted.Even if he had one, it had nothing to do with her.Even she didn’t have any psychological issues, how could someone with such a strong mind like Westley have any psychological issues?He shouldn’t blame her for everything.Having seen enough, she turned around and walked away.But Carter called her back. "He once took good care of you, and you're going to be this heartless?"Jordan wasn’t familiar with Carter. He was usually a man of few words with a cold personality.If she greeted him, he wouldn’t respond. If she talked too much, she might get an icy look in return.She really didn’t expect that one day, he would try to mediate between her and Westley."You should focus more on your own matters," she said.His own love life was a mess, so what right did he have to interfere in hers?Jordan’s emotions were written all over her face, she didn’t hide them.Carter could guess how she was feeling just by looking at her
Jane didn’t care about Westley. Even if he was feeling it now, it was too late for regrets.If he hadn’t acted the way he did, Jordan wouldn’t have suffered so much.Moreover, he had once ignored her cries for help, so now he shouldn’t blame Jordan for his injuries.“How’s my sister?” she asked.Roy replied, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Collins, Ms. Hickey is doing fine. Except for the lack of freedom, there are no other restrictions.”“When can I have a video call with her?”Roy thought for a moment. “Since Mr. Howard is now delirious, I can make the arrangements.”“Thank you,” said Jane.“It’s no trouble, it’s my job.”After hanging up the phone, Jane looked at Zachary and asked, “What do you think?”Zachary moved the phone a little farther away to avoid radiation.After finishing the massage, he helped her lie down and said, “I’m thinking what you’re thinking.”Jane gave him a sidelong glance. “You’re slick.”Zachary smirked and bent down to kiss her forehead.“Get some rest.”
"Mrs. Howard—"Buck watched helplessly as Jordan jumped into the sea.Before he could rush over, a figure was even faster than him."Sir!"Westley dived into the water, found Jordan, and dragged her to the shore.When Jordan was pulled onto the shore, she was still a bit dazed.Wasn't she just swimming? Why was there so much fuss?Buck gestured for people to bring a stretcher, lifted Westley onto it, and hurried back.Buck also called for the maids to help Jordan back.Jordan wiped her face, pushed the maid aside, and twisted the water out of her hair. "What happened?"Buck was anxious to check on Westley, but he couldn’t stop watching Jordan, worried she might jump into the sea again and trying to think of other ways to prevent it."Mr. Howard was saving you.""Why?" Jordan was confused. "I didn’t drown. What’s the need to save me?"Buck recalled what he had seen earlier. It seemed like... swimming?"Weren’t you... jumping into the sea?""Yes." Jordan didn’t notice Buck
"Nathan, you should head back and deal with your own matters. Let's not interfere with Jordan's matters anymore."Nathan didn’t expect Jane to say this. He paused for a moment before speaking. "You know better than I do what Westley has done. How can we just ignore it? Jordan is still young and hasn’t experienced much in terms of relationships. She lacks experience, what if she falls again..."Jane knew what he was talking about and comforted him. "Don’t worry. Jordan may have experienced little in terms of relationships, but she’s not a foolish girl. She knows how to handle things."Nathan asked, "Is it because there’s something Westley knows?""No, it’s because we can't let Westley continue making a scene. This matter still needs to be handled by the person involved."Nathan didn’t say anything more and told Jane not to worry. When it was close to her delivery, he would come back.Jane agreed and hung up the phone.She threw the phone onto the counter and hugged Zachary from b
Charlotte raised her hand and gently patted Jane’s shoulder."I understand, after all, she's your sister. But I think Jordan is very smart and capable, she can take care of herself. You can worry, but at the same time, take care of your own health. Then, when she comes back, you can love her properly."Jordan walked around the island.There was a helipad on the mountain with two helicopters.Out at sea, there was a large cruise ship docked.But she didn’t know how to pilot any of them, so there was no way to escape.In the end, she decided to just accept things as they were.If there was a problem, she would deal with it. If not, she’d wait."Mrs. Howard, Jasmine is looking for you."When Jordan returned to the villa, Buck handed her a phone.Hearing Jasmine’s name, she took it."Jasmine.""I'm relieved you're okay," said Jasmine, letting out a sigh of relief, then apologizing. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have drunk so much.""It’s not your fault."Since Westley had a plan to
She got up just around noon.After thinking for a moment, she decided to go see Westley.Westley wasn't in the bedroom, so she went downstairs to ask the staff.The servant pointed toward the kitchen, and she walked over, finding Westley cutting vegetables.A strip of bandages was wrapped around his exposed wrist.His pale lips and exhausted eyes suggested he was still in poor condition.Yet, he was cooking?Jordan pressed her lips together, her sleep had been poor, and her face didn’t look good either.She stood in place for a few seconds, then turned and walked away.If he didn’t take care of his own body, what business was it of hers?Westley glanced over but didn’t call her, continuing his task.Buck watched the whole scene, worried about Westley’s health, he was still running a fever.“Sir, you should rest. Let me arrange for someone to cook, and I’ll bring it up to you later. And Mrs. Howard... probably won’t care about you... You should take care of your health. Othe
Charlotte nodded. “So does unhygienic mean better taste?”Jane directly spoke to her belly, "Son, you have to treat your mother-in-law well in the future. Mommy won't be able to back you up. Mommy’s useless..."Charlotte raised her hand and poked her forehead. "Alright, stop the act.""You're even bringing the child up. We still don’t know if it's a boy."Jane said, "I want to arrange a marriage alliance with you. My child can sense his mother’s feelings and will surely fulfill his mother's wishes.""That's nonsense." Charlotte went out to buy what she wanted to eat.As soon as she sat in the car, she received a call from Frank."Is Mr. Smith slacking off again?"Frank chuckled. "I’m calling my wife. Is that not allowed anymore?"Charlotte had driven herself. She turned on the air conditioning and was thinking about going shopping. "I’ve got to go now. I'll be home tonight."Frank heard the sound of the engine and asked, "Did you go out?"Charlotte snorted, "You should know
The fireworks were dazzling and brilliant.Westley looked up in a certain direction.At the moment the fireworks bloomed, a figure appeared in the window of that place.Jordan couldn’t sleep because of Westley’s injury.As she tossed and turned in bed, a sudden bright light appeared in front of the window.She walked over to the window, opened it, and saw the fireworks bursting in the night sky.There seemed to be a few figures on the beach.But Westley was tall enough that she could spot him at a glance.At that moment, she forgot to watch the fireworks.It was only when Westley raised his hand and pointed upward that she looked up.She realized that the fireworks formed a few words.“I’m sorry, Jordan.”“Happy birthday.”Jordan had originally planned to spend her birthday with Nathan and Jane.But when she was brought over by Westley, she completely forgot about her birthday.She glanced at the time, and it was exactly midnight.Her birthday had begun.The night sky
