Westley's facial muscles were stiff from constantly smiling, but he still maintained the expression.His voice was cold as he said, "Carter."The assistant seemed to have understood and replied, "I'll find another doctor to check on you.""No need."He had just received a message from Carter.This medicine would last about five hours.There was no way to end it prematurely.And since Carter had said this, it meant that no one else would have a solution.Westley waved his hand. "Don't worry about it."The assistant didn't know what to say, so he advised, "Please eat properly, this will help you recover faster.""Mrs. Howard's shoot is of a medium scale, there shouldn't be any issues. She probably took on this work to get back at you since she hasn't accepted such jobs before."Westley was, of course, aware of this. If it weren't for his failed expression management, he would have already been discharged to find her.How could he let her see just a ridiculous look?"Get the
"Why did you leave the hospital?"Jordan didn't even care that she was still giving him the silent treatment. She hurried over to check if he was okay."Is anything bothering you?"She had forgotten that she was only wearing a bathrobe. As she moved, the unfastened tie slipped, and the bathrobe fell off.She didn't realize it at first, but her hands were moving over his body.The outline of his body rose and fell with her movements.Westley's green eyes became darker."Jordy.""Huh?"Jordan, hearing his hoarse voice, thought he wasn't feeling well. She quickly reached for her phone to call, but he pressed her into his arms.Jordan, still concerned about his back injury, quickly pushed him away. "Stop messing around. You couldn't have come alone. Call your people and have them take you to the hospital."Westley's hand on her waist suddenly tightened.Jordan felt a coolness in front of her, as though she had brushed against his shirt buttons and belt buckle.Only then did sh
"This will make your shining image collapse. Don't forget, you faked your death. If this news spreads, it will be bad for what you're trying to do, right?"Westley was at a loss for words.Jordan had learned all of Westley’s dirty tricks."But I can't fly back right now." Westley sighed. "My back really hurts.""You deserve it.""Isn't it you who hit me?" Westley countered. "I really wasn't in any pain at first."Jordan wasn't fooled. "I won’t let you fool me again."Westley gave up, releasing her and gently patting her on the head."Fine, now with my identity, I have no right to ask you to be nicer to me."Jordan rolled her eyes. "You’re quibbling."Westley smiled. "Do you really not want something to eat?"Jordan shook her head. "I'm not eating with you. It's not like I'll accept anyone who purses me.""Fine." Westley nodded in agreement. "I hope you can keep that up. Don't let anyone's sweet words fool you. Leave the opportunity for me.""Why should I?" Jordan lifted he
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
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
"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
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, "
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
"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
