Chapter 12

Author: Lean
It was the third time that day.

I had tried to tell Ryan about the child three times, but was never able to.

It seemed that Ryan was destined not to meet the baby in my child.

I was glad that I didn't tell him. That way, the divorce would be much simpler.

Jelaston was a big city. If Ryan and I got divorced, it would be almost impossible for the two of us to meet again.

Ryan would probably never find out that we had a child.

Jane agreed with me after hearing what I had in mind. "Your child won't want a scumbag for a father. You're doing the right thing for not telling him."

By the time I finished the IV drop and left the hospital, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

Jane wrapped her arms around mine as we headed to the car park. "Your car has been sent to the garage for repairs. It was quite badly damaged and repairs would probably take a week. I'll go with you to collect your car when the repairs are finished. If you want to go anywhere for the next few days, you can j

Moronic jackass! He broke his promise to her and was with the woman his wife wants him to stay away from, but now he’s shifting the blame…

    "What?" I was dumbfounded.Ryan continued casually, "Jack Renolds. Wasn't he the one who gave you a lift back home that night? You went to see him as soon as he came back into the country."His voice was full of disdain and self-mockery.I furrowed my brows and locked gazes with him. I then asked in disbelief, "Are you saying that I have feelings for Jack?""Do you not?" He curved his lips into a sneer.To me, his expression was full of mockery.An uncontrollable anger that I had never felt arose in my head. I raised my hand and slapped him. "You're such a bastard, Ryan!"I tried my best to not cry, but tears still welled up in my eyes.After crying for a while, I couldn't help but laugh.It was hilarious. I loved Ryan for so many years, but in the end, all he could do was ask me if I had divorced him for another man. It was pointless to say anymore.Jane had arrived without me noticing and Tom was behind her.She dragged me out of the house, looked at Tom who seemed to be i

    Ryan and I weren’t even officially divorced yet and Jessica was already in such a rush to get his things back.The shares were worth way too much, so I never planned on keeping them.I just didn’t want Jessica to get what she wanted so easily.I frowned slightly. "Who are you to ask me such a question?"Jessica chuckled arrogantly. "Are you trying to seize the shares? Those were given to Ryan's wife by Ryan himself. Once you divorce him, the shares won't belong to you anymore!""Have you still not gone to see a doctor?" I asked. "You need to go see a doctor as soon as possible. Otherwise, you might end up in a mental hospital and not just medication."Jessica squinted her eyes. "Charlotte, are you calling me crazy?!"I couldn't be bothered to argue with her, so I asked softly, "Have you received the letter of resignation? Please approve it as soon as possible.""Do I need you to tell me what to do? I submitted it to the Human Resource Department last night." She wished that I c

    After hearing that question, I realized that besides William, there was another gaze fixed on me tightly.I actually found it hard to answer William's question.I didn't want to lie to William, but if I told the truth, William would definitely not allow us to get a divorce.After hesitating for a while, before I could say anything, William seemed to have already got an answer. "Alright, I think I know the answer. Please stay by his side for me. This kid didn't have a mother to raise him, that's why he has such a bad temper. Please forgive him."Finally, he grabbed Ryan's ear and said, "If you think I've been around for too long, you're welcome to piss me off so much that I die of a heart attack or something. No one will stop you two from getting a divorce if I'm not around.""Are you trying to use your life to force me to do something?" Ryan asked with a meaningful smile."How dare you speak to me like that?"William was furious and was about to hit him again, but Ryan dodged th

    Glancing at the time, it was already past two o’clock in the morning.Didn’t he get off work with Jessica?How did he end up going drinking with Tom and the others? According to Tom, Jessica wasn't even there.I tried to call again, but his phone was already turned off. It had probably run out of battery.I had no choice but to get changed and head out. I took a taxi to their usual gathering place, a private club.When I arrived, most people had already dispersed.In the private room, only Tom and Jack remained.There was Ryan, dressed in a designer suit, his long legs crossed, sleeping soundly on the couch.As soon as Tom saw me, he looked helpless. "Charlotte, I don't know what's gotten into Ryan today. He kept drinking with Jack, and we couldn't stop him."I could vaguely guess why.He still stubbornly believed that there was something between Jack and me.Perhaps all men were like this. They could do as they pleased, but would never tolerate even the slightest possibilit

    About 10 minutes later, I parked the car outside the courtyard."We're home, Ryan," I said as I opened the car door.Unexpectedly, the drunken man collapsed as I opened the door.I frowned and reluctantly pulled him back up. "Can you stand up on your own?"There was no response.I had to call Brenda, who was asleep, to help me carry Ryan back to his room."Mrs. Frost, do you need any help?" asked Brenda."No, you can go back to bed."I felt a bit embarrassed for disturbing her. I didn't want to trouble her further.After Brenda left, I endured the discomfort of the smell of alcohol and helped Ryan take off his shoes and tie, then I prepared to go downstairs.But as I turned around, I realized that he had suddenly grabbed my hand.With his eyes closed, he murmured, "Honey..."I didn't really think he was calling me. It was more likely that he and Jessica had progressed to the point of calling each other such intimate nicknames.I reached out and opened his eyelids. "Ryan, l

    Even though there was a layer of fabric between us, my waist felt like it was burning. I was frozen, unable to move as if possessed by a ghost, but thankfully, my mind was clear. "We've been very clear about this. I don't want a third person involved in our marriage.""I'm sorry." The man rested his head against my back, his voice muffled.Would my heart soften? Of course, it would.No one could just easily erase several years of feelings overnight. I really wanted to give him another chance. But everything that had happened recently kept coming back to me. Would I choose him or myself?I sighed. "Ryan, you always knew you were in the wrong, but you kept repeating the same mistakes. It's meaningless."This time, I chose myself. I had chosen him for seven years, and that was enough.Ryan remained silent for a long time, not saying a word."Let go, we've reached the end of the road." I had never imagined that I would say such cold-hearted words to Ryan.What was unrequited love?

    The renovations began shortly after he gave me the keys to the house. I had to keep an eye on the renovations, so I would be out early and back late. He never asked about it.Even if I returned late, at most, he would just say, "You're back late," or, "Looks like the Design Department is quite busy." There was never a follow-up question about where I had been or what I had been doing. It was not within his scope of concern. We had reached the point of divorce, and I didn't want to tolerate anything anymore. "Maybe it was when you were with Jessica."Sure enough, I saw a trace of stiffness on his face. It made me feel much better."I haven't been in contact with her lately.""There’s no need to explain to me." I felt it was unnecessary now. "As long as you're willing, once the divorce proceedings are done, you can marry her anytime.""Why are you speaking in such a tone? You make it sound like we’re strangers" Ryan furrowed his brows slightly, which made him look a little helples

    I never realized he was so vengeful. I could only follow behind him reluctantly. Before I could explain anything, William smiled and said, "I heard from Brenda that Charlotte has moved out?""Yes, Grandpa." I had no choice but to admit it. If Grandpa got angry, I would have to find a way to please him.But Grandpa didn't look like he was going to lose his temper at all. Instead, he glared angrily at Ryan. "You can’t even keep an eye on your wife!""Come on, Grandpa. It was her decision to move out. What could I do?""If she moved out, don’t you know to go after her?""You're just like your father, utterly crooked." Grandpa was exasperated."Well he got that from you, didn’t he?" Ryan chuckled."You brat!" William grabbed a teacup as if to throw it at Ryan, then set it down again. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm hungry, let's eat."The meal was quite enjoyable. Grandpa kept offering me food, and my plate was almost overflowing. "You should eat more, look at you, you

    "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

    She had other things on her mind, so she didn't dig deeper and just changed her shoes before leaving.Alan opened the back door for her, helping her get in the car.She gave him the hotel's address.At that moment, Frank was standing by the French window, his long fingers typing on his phone.The message on the screen was from Zachary."Has your wife chosen you?"Frank clicked send. "And you have the right to ask me that question?"At the hotel entrance, Charlotte told Alan to leave."I don't need a ride, they should be staying at the hotel tonight."Alan had been told in advance.He just acknowledged and then drove off.Charlotte watched the car drive away, deep in thought.But she didn't have time to think too much. She quickly grabbed a taxi to the subway station.Jane had already taken Jordan to the black market. She was anxious.She needed to find Jane as soon as possible.An hour ago, Zachary had dropped Jane off at the hotel, giving her some soft words of concern,

    Charlotte couldn't resist Jane pleading with her.But she couldn't make a decision right now.After all, Zachary, as a husband, had been very competent.There was always the risk of something going wrong.She couldn't bear the responsibility if anything happened to the baby."I'll ask around myself, you wait for the news at home."Jane still wanted to send a message, but her phone was suddenly taken away.She couldn't hide her expression.Zachary looked at her startled face and cocked his brows. "What are you doing behind my back? Why do you look so scared?"Jane knew Zachary wouldn't check her phone, so she started to act unreasonably. "You don't love me anymore."Zachary felt puzzled.Jane pretended to wipe away a tear. "I've been scared, and yet you didn't comfort me immediately."Zachary laughed in frustration.He was one hundred percent sure that she was hiding something from him.Otherwise, she wouldn't have reacted this way."Feeling guilty and blaming me?"Jane

    Westley accused, "Even if you love your wife so much, can you just turn around and betray your friend? If you had waited just one more day to talk about it, I wouldn't have been so angry."Zachary calmly dusted off the nonexistent dust on his shoulder. "Do you think Jordan was tricked by you? What an awesome plan. You even provided fake certificates."Westley reacted strangely. "Did I ever say anything about a fake divorce?"Zachary rarely showed doubt. "Didn't you tell me that if Jordan came to find Jane to verify the divorce certificate, I should help you by saying the divorce certificate was real..."He paused and instantly understood.But he didn't show any smile.He looked Westley up and down. "You're not faking it, are you?"Westley didn't speak.Zachary furrowed his brow, "You're really divorced, and you haven't gone crazy?""I have.""Then..."Westley straightened his back against the seat, his whole face unreadable in the dark.An occasional flash of light illumina

    But when Jordan was happy and wanted to invite her to dinner, she thought it was best to put it off for a while.After all, the account with Westley wasn't something that could be settled right away.But this person insisted on walking right into her line of fire."You just want to maintain some kind of relationship with my sister, right?"Westley's mind was heavy. Over the years in his high position, the aftereffects had made him cautious.No matter what anyone said, he couldn't take things at face value.Moreover, Jane didn't give him a pleasant look, so how could she possibly go along with his wishes?This question was probably a trap.But he couldn't avoid stepping right into it."Since you’re her sister, what do you mean by that, Jane?"Jane had never imagined a day when someone like Westley would talk to her with such an attitude.To be honest, it felt rather pleasant.After the satisfaction, she began to enter the hunting phase."Since you said that the marriage isn

    Zachary certainly couldn't take him.Without thinking, he replied firmly, "No."Jane added, "Mr. Howard, one must know their place."Westley certainly did.But if he left now, there would be no chance in the future.After a few seconds, he spoke calmly, "I'm Jordan's assistant. Isn't it only natural for me to follow her?"Jordan immediately responded, "I'm firing you.""Why?" Westley asked seriously. "If you have an issue with my work, tell me. I won't accept being fired without a reason."Jordan didn't have a real reason. She was just regretting hiring him."You broke my camera.""Which one?"Jordan felt like she could just scream. "You didn't do what an assistant is supposed to do.""Such as?""For example, I'm the boss, and I told you not to follow me, to stay at the studio. But you didn't follow my instructions. I can't use an employee like that."Jordan had found a good reason, and her posture straightened up."So, you're fired!"Jane wanted to say something to hel

    Jane saw that Jordan had stopped making a sound, staring at the report for a long time, almost as if she had turned into stone.Her expression stiffened, and her eyes began to turn red.But there were no overly excited emotions.For a moment, it was impossible to determine what the result was from her reaction.Jane walked over.Zachary's gaze flickered slightly. He was uneasy and followed Jane closely, just in case anything unexpected happened."Jordan..."Jordan suddenly hugged Jane tightly.She kept muttering, "This is great..."Jane didn't need to look at the result anymore. From Jordan's reaction, she knew exactly what had happened."It's great as long as you're happy." She hugged Jordan tighter.The situation Zachary had imagined did not happen.Now, he stood by, feeling like a homewrecker.Westley dragged him out of the ward, allowing the two sisters to properly recognize each other.Zachary remained uneasy, watching them from the small window.Westley mocked him,

    Jordan didn't even glance at it, let alone take the cup.Westley remained calm and unruffled, sitting beside Jordan, drinking the water himself.He was composed to the extreme.Jordan seemed to not recognize him anymore.In the past, he would have been anxious, maybe even trying to use words to manipulate her, ultimately achieving his goal.But now... he gave up.They were already divorced.What he became had nothing to do with her.Zachary glanced at her and whispered to Jane, "Honey, I have something to tell you, it's important."Jane smiled and stared at him.Zachary understood what she meant and raised his hand to swear. "Really, or else..."Jane covered his mouth and shot him a glare.Zachary, however, smiled and pulled her hand away to hold it."Really, no intention to tease."Jordan felt a little confused, but Westley, based on their previous conversation and their interaction, had already guessed it.Seemed that he really was a friend who valued romance over frie

    If they were biological sisters, Westley had to find a way to redeem himself.Zachary's jaw tightened. The words "fake divorce" were on the tip of his tongue but he swallowed them.It was more interesting for Westley to explode this bomb himself.He turned around and got into another car.Westley followed and got in as well."What bad idea are you plotting again?"Zachary smiled but didn't speak.On the way, Zachary received a call from Rick."Mr. Collins, Jasper is dead."Zachary didn't even furrow his brows.It was part of the plan."I know."Rick, familiar with Zachary's habits, quickly spoke before he hung up. "Mr. Collins, Nina wants to see you."Zachary's voice was cold and ruthless. "She’s giving up so soon?"Rick shivered even through the receiver.Nina wasn't registered in the country anymore. She had some coonections and had protection in Northern Manya, making it impossible to capture her for sentencing.But, Zachary had his ways.In the past few months, it
