Just like the golden sea of clouds was rare.Just like how the last time she saw a sea of clouds, but was unable to capture it on camera because of Westley.And yet, this time, they had experienced the golden clouds together.After all this entanglement, she was too tired to keep resisting."I'm serious."Westley was overwhelmed with excitement—more than when he won negotiations at the table, more than when he had defeated countless opponents over the years.He held back the urge to lift her into his arms, his outstretched hand trembling slightly."Jordy..."There were so many things he wanted to say, but at this moment, he didn't know where to begin.His thin lips moved, his expression shifting a few times, but in the end, he still couldn't say anything."Pfft."Jordan laughed.Moments where she could defeat Westley were rare. Seeing him looking so flustered made her inexplicably happy."Westley, you look so dumb right now.""Yes." Westley nodded. "I'm dumb."As long as
"I have a wife and a son."Leanne quietly sighed in relief. "Yes, you've worked hard."Westley's recovery went smoothly and quickly because Jordan was by his side.During his recovery, his plans also gradually came to an end.When Leanne arrived at the Howard family, bringing back a boy, many of the family members bared their teeth.It was the perfect opportunity to deal with them.While the Howard family was being cleaned up, the hidden figure also began to show signs.Together with Zachary, they finally found that person's flaw and brought them down.As his face gradually returned to its previous appearance,Even though Jordan had softened and reconciled with him, he still pursued her according to what she wanted.He did it seriously, making plans and even gathering many people for brainstorming sessions.Buck never imagined that one day, a meeting with Westley would be about not handling someone, not discussing various development plans, but how to pursue his ex-wife.Bu
She wanted to see how he would truly lower his head for her.She also wanted to see if he really liked her.But later, after seeing the golden sea of flowers, he really did a lot to help her take pictures of the sea of clouds.The pink dolphins and fish were considered a blessing.She also witnessed them with him.So, she felt that the matter of pursuing her no longer mattered.She just wanted life to be simpler.She was really tired.She wanted to be happy and carefree.But unexpectedly, now that she didn't care about the pursuit anymore, he started again.It seemed that he would never follow her wishes.That stubbornness of his was something he couldn't change.‘Forget it,’ thought Jordan.She really couldn't be bothered to argue about these things anymore."Let's go." Jordan nodded and sat in the car after he opened the door.Westley walked around the front of the car and sat in the driver's seat, leaning over to fasten her seatbelt.But Jordan fastened it herself.
He had someone redo the decoration, and there would always be someone there every day to do the cleaning.Today, he had originally planned to bring her back, cook for her, and had prepared all the ingredients.This wedding house, aside from the time when Jordan came to get the marriage certificate, she hadn't been here since—she went out to study and work.It was completely different from what she remembered.There were also many photos of them.From before the marriage, after the marriage, and even recently.Including the photos she had taken over the years—award-winning ones, those published in magazines, and those that made the trending searches."They're all here. You can look around. I'll call you when the food is ready."Jordan nodded and started to explore.She found a darkroom, which was specifically for developing photos.Inside, many photos hung on the walls.These were all from the three years she and Westley were ignoring each other. They were all of her life and
Jordan thought for a moment, and a line of reasoning gradually became clear."Are you saying Nathan really is my brother?""Not exactly," said Westley. "He's related to you, he's your cousin."Jordan wasn't too surprised. "I see."Westley smiled. "You're much calmer when things happen now, but it still shows on your face. You need more practice."Jordan couldn't hide her emotions. She didn't show too much excitement, but she was still happy."Does my sister know?""Yes."Jordan blinked. "So, you all kept this from me, and I was the last to find out?"Westley pulled her up and headed for the dining room."We can talk while eating, it'll be cold if we wait."Jordan felt a little frustrated. "I'm so dumb."Westley peeled shrimp for her and said, "Nathan wanted to keep it a secret, so it's normal you didn't know.""But you all knew.""I knew because of my personality. You know me, if a stranger appears in front of me or you, I'll do a background check on him. Your sister know
Jordan spoke again as his car was about to drive into the underground car park. "The underground car park is very winding. Just drop me off in front of the building, make a U-turn, and you can leave."But Westley parked in the underground car park, at the parking space that was registered to her.Jordan unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car. Seeing that he got out too, she didn't think too much about it."Just drop me off here."Westley said calmly, "I'll send you upstairs and watch you go inside.""It's really safe here."Jordan couldn't argue with him. Though she said that, she still let him escort her upstairs.When she used her fingerprint to unlock the door, she said, "It's fine now.""I'll watch you go inside."Seeing his persistence, Jordan unlocked the door and entered.She planned to turn around and say goodbye, but she was suddenly pushed from behind.The sound of the door closing followed, and then she was hugged tightly from behind by the man.Only now d
Jordan was rendered speechless. "You didn't drink tonight. What, are you drunk from fruit juice?"Westley let go of her, changed his shoes, and, as if he were at his own home, casually unbuttoned his shirt and sat down on the sofa."Huh?"Jordan changed her shoes and walked over. She sat at the coffee table in front of him, her face serious as she said, "You'd better tell me the truth!"Westley leaned back against the sofa, his posture casual."What do you want me to confess?""I want you to..."The man suddenly moved closer, and Jordan swallowed her words.She stared wide-eyed at the extraordinarily handsome man in front of her.He had undone four buttons of his shirt, and as he moved, his muscular physique subtly showed through.Her gaze couldn't help but fall inside his collar.Suddenly, she felt her mouth becoming dry."Jordy, you need to take responsibility for your words.""I..."Before she could finish, her waist was grabbed, and before she could react, she was sit
"I..."Jordan leaned on his shoulder, her voice soft. "Can you just say it?""Okay."Westley was easy to talk to. "You said that after giving it some thought, you might have mistaken your feelings for me. You might have confused sibling love with romantic love. Actually, maybe you don't really like me. That was the gist of it. The exact words, it's been so long, I don't remember."Jordan didn't believe that he didn't remember.If he didn't hold a grudge, he wouldn't have treated her the way he did afterward.He didn't even send her a message.Even when the Howard family invited them back for dinner, he had his subordinates contact her."You really are petty."Westley chuckled, pulling her even closer.He kissed the corner of her lips. "Yep, I'm petty. For the things I owe you, I'll apologize and make it up to you, but for the things I've done right, I'll remember them and make you pay me back."Jordan quickly grabbed his wrist, her speech speeding up."Westley, I can explai
"What are you doing?"Jordan was both angry and anxious, her face completely red.Westley smiled. "What do you think?""Stop messing around! We still need to go toast the guests.""Exactly." The man pinched the satin ribbon behind her back. "How can you wear the toasting dress if you don't take off the wedding dress?"The wedding dress was too heavy, and with him pressing on her, Jordan couldn't break free."You want to do it yourself, but you can’t."In the end, Jordan was stripped down to just her undergarments and was forcibly changed into the toasting dress.Seizing the right moment, she immediately broke free from Westley and opened the door, about to run out.Westley quickly grabbed her and carried her back. "Your makeup is ruined."‘Whose fault is it that my makeup is ruined?’Jordan stomped hard on his foot. "You’re so annoying!""Already annoyed right after the wedding?" Westley sat her down on the edge of the bed, opened the makeup bag, and took out a lipstick. "I
Westley had someone distribute the wedding sweets. He carried Jordan into the hotel and delivered her to the bridal rest room.Jane and the others had already been waiting."So, what's up, Westley? As your sister-in-law, I took your big envelope, and I didn't make things difficult for you, did I?"What could Westley say? "Thank you, Jane.""Jordy's wedding shoes?"Jane and Charlotte each handed him one of the shoes.Westley crouched down and carefully put them on Jordan."I'm going to be busy up front, I'll wait for you."Jordan nodded. "Okay."After Westley left, Jane and Charlotte helped her change into the wedding dress.Whitney also helped.Caleb brought her to the wedding venue, and while they were waiting in the rest room, Jane explained to her.The reason they arrived here first was that everything had been arranged in advance, and it was intentionally done this way.She actually found it quite interesting."Whit." Jane patted her shoulder. "This is a good way to
Even the foundation couldn't hide the pink flush spreading on her cheeks.Jordan knew she was rather introverted, and without Jane and Charlotte there to back her up, this felt like hell to her."Westley!""Yes!"Jordan was amused by him and forgot what she was about to say.Westley stepped forward, kneeling on one knee, preparing to go through the motions.Whitney quickly tried to stop him, but was pulled away by Caleb."This won't do..." She struggled, but couldn't fight against the man's strength.Only Jordan and Westley were left in the bedroom.The man kneeled beside the bed and handed her the bouquet. "Dear Mrs. Howard, please come home with me."Jordan took the bouquet, revealing her small feet from under the large skirt."I don't have shoes on."Westley asked, "How can I find your shoes?""You're asking me?""Yes.""Well, I can't tell you."Westley knew it wasn't going to be that easy.Even if Jane and Charlotte were kept busy, with their family status, how cou
"They're here, they're here," Charlotte called out, urging Whitney to quickly close the bedroom door.Whitney said, "Jane hasn't come in yet.""If she's slower than Westley, it means she's caught up in something," replied Charlotte."But isn’t Zachary afraid of angering Jane by helping Westley like this?"Charlotte smiled. "This is a wedding. Blocking the door is just for fun. We won’t really make it hard for the groom to take the bride away."Whitney only then realized what they were doing. "Sorry.""It's fine, you've never had a wedding, so it's normal," Charlotte reassured her."So, what should I do now?"Charlotte said, "Just cooperate with me.""Don't be too formal, it's not a big deal."At that moment, Westley knocked on the door. "What does Mrs. Smith want? Feel free to name your price."Charlotte laughed. "Mr. Howard always reads people well and is full of schemes. Why don't you try guessing?"Frank had already come over, but he looked lazy and still had no energy.
Westley seemed not to hear Zachary's words and asked him if his clothes were alright and whether his tie was crooked.Zachary couldn't be bothered to respond.Frank didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.At that moment, Caleb stepped forward and adjusted Westley's tie and collar, smiling faintly.Westley understood. "Carter will come to the wedding. I'm certain of it."Caleb then asked, "With the relationship between Mr. Greyson and Mr. Howard, why isn't he coming as a groomsman?""He doesn't get along well with my wife.""Because of Mandy?"Westley nodded. "Mandy and my wife were good friends during their teenage years."Actually, Jordan wasn't someone who held grudges, but he couldn't let anything go wrong at the wedding.Originally, it didn't matter whether Carter came or not.If it weren't for Caleb, he wouldn't have insisted on having Carter attend.Caleb understood.The sky gradually brightened.Whitney stood at the door, waiting for news from Jane.Suddenly, some
Whitney nodded. "It's really delicious.""That's good." Jordan didn't know what else to say and quietly sipped her soup.Caleb placed some ham on Whitney’s plate. "If you like it, take some with you when you leave.""I'll arrange for it to be delivered to Yelar regularly in the future."Whitney really liked it, but she never overindulged.She was afraid that giving in to greed wouldn't be a good thing.After a pause, she asked, "Do you like it?"Caleb replied, "It's okay."Whitney said, "Then I can take some back, but no need to have someone deliver it regularly. If I eat too much, I won't find it as tasty anymore."Caleb nodded in agreement.During the meal, Jane went to the restroom, and Charlotte also stood up.Jordan quickly followed them.Whitney thought for a moment and decided to go too.Zachary waited for them to leave the private room and raised his tea cup toward Caleb.Since Jane was drinking, he decided not to drink."I think Whitney really enjoys hanging out
She looked at Jane and the others, blinking. "Isn't that right, sisters?"Jane nodded. "That's right, it's a women’s gathering, no men allowed.""No men allowed again?" Westley gave a cryptic glance at the three men standing behind.Jordan followed Jane's lead.Charlotte had no objections.Whitney glanced at Caleb, but she had already told him that she'd be with Jordan for the next few days.In other words, she had informed him that she was joining Jordan's little group.She didn't say anything else.Caleb pulled at the corner of his lips, not saying anything.The manager didn't know what to make of the group of important figures standing in the front hall.After giving it some thought, he said, "We only have one private room, which Mr. Howard reserved first. Would you like to share a table, ladies?"Jane smiled. "So, when it rains, there's only one room, huh?"The manager glanced at Westley for guidance. "Our restaurant is reservation-based..."Jordan interrupted. "I made
Frank put down his phone and said, "I'll just take this as a wedding gift for your sister and brother-in-law, for their upcoming wedding."Zachary didn't say anything. He had received a similar message from Westley.Meanwhile, someone on Caleb's side came to update him on Whitney's movements.He didn't have an issue with her shopping, but he wasn't exactly happy about it either.He had given Whitney a premium card, letting her buy whatever she liked.But she had never used it."Mr. Hilton..." One of his subordinates hesitated before speaking. "After shopping, Mrs. Hilton and Mrs. Collins... they went for... for a massage."Caleb received the news, and so did Zachary.There hadn't been any activity for half the day, so they probably went to a proper massage parlor."Got it."Jane and the others went for facial and oil massages.It was indeed a normal massage parlor.Even when they had gone to a bar before, they were just there to drink.The issue was with those men not trus
Jordan hadn't decided yet. "Do you have any particular places you'd like to visit?"Jane said, "Then let's go shopping."She turned to Charlotte. "Can you walk?""I’m fine. If we get tired, we can find a place to sit and rest."Jane then looked at Whitney and asked if she wanted to go.Whitney nodded.The four girls made a quick decision and set off.Ross was eating an apple when he saw them coming out together. He immediately asked, "Mrs. Collins, where are you going? Do you need me to give you a lift?"Jane looked at the car behind him and noticed there were no other cars."Take us to the biggest shopping center.""Okay."The MPV was large, and with just Ross as the driver, it was more than enough for the four of them to sit comfortably."Ma’am, there are yogurts and snacks next to you, all your favorites."Jane glanced at it and said, "Remember to tell Zachary that it’s too late to apologize after making a mistake."Ross would only repeat the exact words to Zachary, an
