Jordan just couldn't keep things to herself.She also couldn't hide her emotions.So, it was right that Jane hadn't told her at first.Now that it was out, she didn't know how to handle it.The truth was on the tip of her tongue when her phone suddenly rang.She thought it was still Nathan, but when she picked it up, it was an unknown number.Thinking it was a work call, she answered, "Hello?""Hello."The familiar, deep voice made Jordan immediately recognize who it was on the other end."What happened to your Jeswood number? Don't you use your old number anymore?"Westley answered honestly, "I came to Jeswood Hospital for treatment and got a new number. The old one was inconvenient to use. I'm dead now."Jordan didn't know if Westley and Leanne had some plan.She also wasn't clear on the affairs of the Howard family.She couldn't do anything about it."Why come to Jeswood for treatment? Isn't the Greyson family’s hospital in Nelana?"Westley replied, "For my condition,
It was obvious that Jasmine was drunk.Before he could say anything, he heard Jasmine say, "Like the person I like."Knowing she was drunk, Nathan didn't want to say much to a drunk person.He helped her sit on the sofa, opened the takeaway, and placed it in front of her.His voice was cold, almost like he was telling her to eat something poisonous. "Eat."Who would tell someone to eat in that manner?Moreover, Jasmine didn't want to eat.She leaned into Nathan, reaching out to touch his face.She examined his face carefully."I feel like I've seen you before. Before you became Jordan's brother, I think... I liked you already."Nathan didn't stop her from doing what she was doing.When he heard her say that, his expression changed slightly.In a moment of distraction, she ended up sitting on his lap.She cupped his face and kissed him.Nathan grabbed her hand and turned his face to avoid it.Jasmine wasn't willing to let go. She leaned in, determined to kiss him.A drun
It felt as if he had just dropped a bombshell, something as serious as Mars colliding with Earth.Westley gently stroked her hair, holding her hand, and then dropped another thunderous remark."You asked me to send someone over to check. I sent Nathan."Jordan could hardly believe her ears.As soon as she realized Nathan was with Jasmine now, she immediately stood up to leave.Westley stopped her. "Aren't you curious about Jasmine not losing her memory?"He knew exactly how to manipulate her.When Jordan heard this, she couldn't move her feet."They can solve their issues themselves. They're adults, they don't need anyone else involved. Sit down. Let me explain it to you."Jordan wasn't naive, she pulled her hand back and said, "You're just trying to get me to stay here with you, aren't you?"Westley raised both hands. "I'm wronged! Think carefully. Didn't you say it wasn't convenient to talk? That's why I asked you to come."‘Yeah, right.’Jordan, displeased, grabbed his h
"What you see isn’t the real her."Westley wanted to stay with her a little longer, so he didn't show her the information he had gathered.Instead, he chose the most intriguing parts and waited for her to ask, then he would explain in detail."She originally wanted to kill Nathan?"Westley nodded. "My Jordy is getting smarter and smarter."Jordan felt like her brain was on fire.Westley patted her head and continued, "Back then, Nathan was still weak, and the Jackson family was still recovering. It was the best time to make a move. If Nathan had grown stronger, it would have been impossible to find another opportunity. But the person who hired Jasmine didn't expect that Jasmine wouldn't go through with it in the end."Jordan couldn't even swallow her cotton candy anymore. She quickly stood up and said, "I have to go home. Nathan is in danger!"Westley grabbed her. "She's not after Nathan's life this time."Jordan asked, "Then what does she want?""Between a man and woman, wha
Jane's surprise was no less than Jordan's.Before she could ask anything, Zachary handed her a file.Jane opened it and the more she read, the more shocked she became."Jasmine used to be an assassin? She was saved by Nathan, but she actually went there to kill him? She even slept with Nathan back then?"It was almost impossible to imagine.Jane tapped the file and asked him, "Why didn't I see this before?"Zachary remained calm. "I didn't find so much information before. Think about it, Nathan couldn't even find her, and her organization is very powerful and secretive. It took me some time."It turned out, it was because Roy didn't want to stay in the Arctic and wanted to redeem himself. He happened to encounter someone fleeing to the Arctic.That was how he found the organization and traced the information.It was quite a coincidence.Jane, after hearing this, was a little skeptical."How come every coincidence works in your favor?"Zachary curved his lips into a smile, "
Zachary leaned closer to her, his voice hoarse. "Hmm, just take care of me, help me out, honey..."Jordan stayed overnight in Westley's ward.They had a blanket between them, creating an imaginary boundary."If you cross the line, I'll deduct points."Westley lay on one side, propping his head up, smiling as he looked at her."You're really going to deduct points? Are you going to hold me accountable for this?"Jordan replied, "Well, if you perform well, I might add some points.""Is that so? How many points would I need to satisfy you?""Maybe, possibly, 100 million points."Westley saw the clever, mischievous look in her eyes and knew she was teasing him.He said indulgently, "Alright, whatever you say."Jordan knew Westley well and didn't believe his words."Let me remind you again, you're the pursuer, so don't be touching me."She only said it now, but earlier she hadn't really pushed him away.Westley played along. "Okay."That night, most people were peacefully asl
Just as she was feeling happy, her wrist was suddenly grabbed.She wanted to shake off the restraint in dissatisfaction. After failing to do so several times, she became angry, opened her eyes to see what was going on, and was met with a pair of green gem-like eyes, filled with a meaningful smile.Then, she saw his thin lips part slightly, and he uttered something that made her feel embarrassed."Jordy, you've crossed the line."Jordan looked down, and saw that the blanket had created a boundary, yet she had crossed over it.At that moment, not only was she lying on Westley's side, but her legs were also tangled around him like an octopus.So, what she had just felt wasn't from a dream, it was his muscles.At that moment, she just wanted to escape quickly.But the man held her tightly."Jordy, if I cross the line, I'll lose points. But what will happen if you cross the line?"Jordan couldn't argue with Westley, especially since she was in the wrong.In the end, she could onl
Westley walked over to her, having already instructed someone to buy breakfast.He sat her down on the sofa and poured her a cup of water.Then he said, "Why bother worrying about other people's business? Besides, even if you didn't save me at that time, it wouldn't have mattered. If I had died, it would've been like paying back those years of indifference to you. That was my most sincere apology to you."Jordan was no longer the naive little fool she used to be.Having been tricked by him so many times, she had long since grown a lot smarter."Westley, you wanted to kill two birds with one stone."Westley was quite surprised. "Tell me why you think that way?"Jordan said, "How could you easily die? Didn't you just pretend to get stabbed, knowing that Dr. Greyson would definitely come to save you? You also purposely made me hold the knife because with Roy present, he's a witness. You also knew that Dr. Greyson has always been obsessed with Mandy, and would have Zachary help him.
"I can guess, but I'm not a god. I can't see through all your thoughts. Judging by the current situation, I'm afraid I guessed wrong."Jordan looked at him, her gaze calm and unwavering. But the words she spoke landed like a heavy hammer on his heart."Haven’t I been straightforward with you? The taxi driver from the airport to the hotel—wasn't he your man?"Jordan withdrew her gaze. "Westley, you don't actually want to know what I think. You just want a result—the result of me remarrying you and restoring our relationship to what it once was."Westley should have refuted her.But he had no way to.Because she was right.No matter the process—whether he pursued her or not—Whether she relented or not, it didn't matter to him.He only wanted that final outcome."So..." Jordan continued, "You will never change. If I take a step back, you'll take two steps forward. You have never truly thought from my perspective. Then again, you never think from anyone's perspective. Dictatorsh
A bonfire burned nearby.The entire area had been carefully arranged, making it feel less cold and more welcoming.At a glance, it no longer felt chilly at all."We'll stay here instead of climbing up and down every day."Westley suddenly appeared, interrupting her thoughts."There's everything you need—sleeping bags with electric blankets, hand warmers, and more. You won't feel cold. All you have to do is wait for the sea of clouds to appear."The weather was nice today. The sun shone down on her, and she didn't feel cold at all.But she hadn't expected all of this. His preparations surprised her."I checked the forecast. It'll rain tonight, but if we're lucky, we should see it tomorrow."After the earthquake, Jordan wasn't as obsessed with the sea of clouds as before.It was Oliver who had sent her pictures and videos, reigniting her desire.But the sea of clouds didn't appear every day.Since Oliver had just captured it, rain would likely prevent it from forming again.
Leanne didn't even dare to speak.This was indeed her mistake."Wahhh!"The baby in her arms suddenly started crying, and she scrambled to prepare the formula.She had originally arranged for professionals to take care of the child in Nelana, but now they were unable to return.Finding someone in Malak would take time.It would also expose more weaknesses that could be exploited.But she had never learned how to feed a baby.She had been too busy with other matters and simply hadn't had the time.She placed the baby on the bed and rushed to prepare the formula.Once it was ready, she hurried back—only to be stopped by Zachary."Shaking the bottle up and down—do you think it's alcohol? The baby will get gas. And you didn't even test the temperature? Are you trying to burn the baby's mouth?"His words weren't pleasant, but it was clear he was concerned for the child.Leanne felt ashamed. "I haven't learned yet..."Zachary took the bottle from her, first sterilizing it with
Westley sat on the sofa in his room.He let out several cold scoffs.A cigarette burned between his fingers, but he didn't smoke it.A dull pain throbbed in his back.It was as if he was angry with himself as well—his entire body exuded a cold aura.The assistant was initially worried about his condition and considered ordering food from the hotel.But then he wondered if Westley was waiting for news from Jordan.For a moment, he didn't know what to do.And he didn't dare step forward to ask.It wasn't until news came from Leanne that he finally approached."Sir, Miss Leanne and her child have been detained in Malak. It seems someone doesn't want her to bring the child back to the Howard family. Someone outside of the family wouldn't be able to do this—it must be someone from within the Howard family."Westley was a genius. No one could match his methods and strategies.When he took the position of the head of the Howard family, no one had any objections.Later, he handed
She immediately ordered takeaway.When the knock on the door came, she didn't think twice, assuming it was her food, and opened the door.Seeing Westley standing there, the good mood she had from expecting her meal instantly vanished.She tried to close the door right away.Westley blocked it with his foot. "It's fine if you're mad at me, but don't starve yourself.""I won't. I ordered takeaway.""I bought food for you—all your favorites, and it's fresh."He lightly shook the bags in his hands. "Don't let it sit too long, or it won't taste as good."Jordan still tried to shut the door. "Even if I starve to death, I won't eat the food you bought."Gurgle.Her stomach betrayed her with a loud growl.Westley held the food closer to her. "Eat."Jordan still refused. "I already ordered takeaway."Just then, the assistant appeared at the perfect moment. "Mrs. Howard, thank you for the takeaway. The few of us who followed Mr. Howard here haven't had time to eat yet. One of us eve
The driver nodded. "It's not too much. In a marriage, both sides should give and take, communicate, and make things clear. After all, no one can read minds and know exactly what the other person is thinking."Jordan said, "That's exactly why I gave him a chance to pursue me. If he could change and follow my expectations, I wouldn't be upset.""Then it's his fault." The driver glanced at Westley. "Young man, your ex-wife is a good girl. You should cherish her. If she wants something, just give it to her. If you don't want to split up, then there's nothing you can't overcome. There's no shame in a man lowering his head for his wife."Westley finally said, "Okay."At that moment, they arrived at their destination. He paid the fare and got out first, walking around the car to open the door for Jordan."Here you go, princess."Jordan got out from the other side instead.Westley didn't mind. He closed the door and cast a glance at the driver's seat.The driver called out awkwardly, "
"That's right!" Jordan seemed to have found an ally. "He's always so self-righteous. I gave him a chance to pursue me, but he didn't take it seriously at all. Every chance he gets, he tries to fool me, as if he can just erase everything he did wrong. He never truly apologized."There was one more thing she didn't say as she wiped away her tears.Her compromise didn't necessarily mean she would reconcile with him.It all depended on Westley's attitude.After all, he had made mistakes in the past.She took a step back and gave him the opportunity to pursue her.But he got ahead of himself, thinking she would inevitably take him back, that she was so hopelessly in love with him.So he treated her with a careless attitude.He kissed her even when she told him not to.And then he had the nerve to blame her, saying she was seducing him just because she reacted naturally.Physical reactions were uncontrollable, but that didn't mean she was willing!‘Hmph!’The driver glanced at We
Oliver pressed his lips together, but in the end, he didn't say anything."I still have things to do," said Jordan.She deleted all his contact information right in front of him.She didn't save the pictures of the sea of clouds he sent her."Oliver, if you need anything, contact Westley."After saying that, she hailed a taxi and left.Just as she got in and was about to close the door, someone suddenly squeezed in.Seeing that face, her expression darkened."Why are you here?"Westley closed the door and told the driver an address.Instead of answering her, he asked, "I heard we got remarried?"Jordan had only said those words to Oliver out of necessity.She hadn't expected Westley to overhear them.He must be feeling very smug now.If he had a tail, it would be wagging in the air."Westley, I think I told you before, too many negative points mean getting kicked out of the game." Jordan said coolly, "I was just rejecting someone, that's all. Don't take it seriously."W
Westley had just settled into Hulerwood.The family doctor was treating the wound on his back.The assistant came over to inform him that Jordan had gone to Zeara.And Oliver was still there.The assistant hesitated, unsure whether to speak or not, about to say something but stopping.Westley gave him a cold, sharp glance.The assistant finally spoke. "It seems like Mrs. Howard flew to Zeara after she got in contact with Oliver. It must be about the sea of clouds."Westley simply said, "Make the preparations, we're flying to Zeara.""But sir, you..."The assistant was met with Westley's cold gaze and quickly went to make the preparations.Jordan arrived in Zeara, and it was still before dawn.It was already deep autumn, and the morning dew was heavy. Zeara's weather was naturally cooler.But Hulerwood had been warm, and Jordan had come in a hurry, only wearing a thin jacket.Her thick coat was in her suitcase, but she didn't want to take it out.She quickly hailed a cab t
