Chapter 1363

Author: Lean
They hadn't expected that their relationship would become so close, so fast.

Many things were intertwined between them, and they didn't even have a chance to avoid talking to each other if they wanted to.

"You're not that kind-hearted, are you? But you also don't seem like someone who enjoys these dramas, so why..."

Caleb opened his eyes fully and turned his head to look at her.

Whitney was caught off guard by those eyes of his, smiling, enchanting—he looked like a seductive demon, pulling people into temptation.

She had always thought of herself as cold and detached, especially when it came to love and family.

So when Jane and the others talked about the past, she couldn't empathize.

But unlike him—who not only didn't empathize but even laughed out loud—

She had to avert her gaze just to keep speaking.

"You and my brother only met for the first time today. Before, it was always Frank who handled everything—why would you go along with him?"

Caleb took her hand.

    "Did you already know Nathan was going to say all that tonight, and that's why you slept with me this afternoon?"Of course Zachary had known—he understood her too well, especially her curiosity for gossip.And he also knew that after hearing that story, she definitely wouldn't have been in the mood later.But after all, it was their wedding day. They couldn't just do nothing."You saw right through me."At the dinner table earlier, when Nathan had talked about the past, Jane had looked so sorrowful. She hadn't asked for details."Show me what you’ve found."Zachary pulled her down to sit on the sofa, then went to pour a glass of water.He handed it to her first.She had drunk quite a bit tonight—not just from the joy of celebrating with friends, but later, after the sadness hit, she drank a lot more in silence.Without some water, she would definitely wake up with a headache."You drink some too."Zachary poured himself a glass as well, then said, "Nathan already said ever

    "You didn't say anything on the way back either.""On the way back, I wanted to talk. Wasn't it you who said you needed some quiet time?"Jordan pushed him hard. "Get off me. I don't want to talk to you today."Westley wasn't in any rush, nor was he that much of a brute.He knew she was upset today, and still, she thought he had that kind of thing on his mind."I suggest you get a good night's sleep. Whatever needs to be said, we'll talk tomorrow."Jordan sat cross-legged on the bed and held onto him before he could walk away. "Did you know more than what Nathan said?""I didn't." Westley looked calm as he moved her hand away. "I'm going to make you some honey water. You drank alcohol."Jordan pretended to wipe tears from her eyes. "You're still not being real with me. I guess this flaw of yours really can't be fixed. Whatever. It's all my fault. I loved you too much, fell into your trap twice. I asked for it."As she said it, she turned her back to him, looking heartbroken an

    They went to bed early that night and woke up early the next day.In Jeswood, winter had already arrived, and the days were shorter.When Jane got up, it was still pitch-black outside.But Zachary had already finished getting ready and prepared all the offerings for the visit.It seemed he had woken up at least two hours earlier than her—probably at dawn."Thank you," she said.Zachary smiled and gave her cheek a firm squeeze."What, it's only the second day after our wedding and you're acting all polite with me now? What are you thanking me for?"Jane looked at him seriously. "Even if we're very close, I should still thank you for this.""Alright, message received."Zachary could see the sadness in her eyes, so he didn't say anything more.On the other side, Westley also woke earlier than Jordan.He even called Zachary to go over the items they needed to prepare.The two of them split up the tasks.They also made sure to check with Nathan.He probably couldn't sleep eit

    "You both can rest in peace now. From now on, they will come visit you often."After saying this, he stepped aside to make space for Jane and Jordan.Jordan had attended Sir Howard's funeral before and, with the Howard family's help, had also handled her grandfather's passing.She had some experience, but when it came to facing her own parents, she felt overwhelmed and at a loss.When she knelt down, she nearly fell.A steady hand supported her, then knelt down beside her."Westley..."Although she had married Westley, she hadn't expected him to kneel down beside her like that."It's only right," he said.Beside them, Jane had knelt down before Jordan.Zachary followed and knelt with her.While the others were speaking, the two of them had already finished their bows.When Jane sat back up, her face was streaked with tears.She choked up and couldn't say a single word.After calling out "Mom, Dad," she stayed silent for a long time.Zachary spoke first—But not before g

    And she would also act as a supervisor, so they could rest assured about Jane and Jordan.With the visit completed, Nathan led them back to the Jackson family's residence."Grandfather felt guilty for not being able to speak with you yesterday. He didn't want to bring up old matters on such a joyous day and make everyone uncomfortable, so he's been waiting here at the Jackson family’s residence since early this morning."Jane asked with concern, "What do you early? Why didn't you try to persuade him? Wouldn't it have been better for him to come with us?"Nathan replied, "At his age, if he could be persuaded, I would have, but if not, I could only comfort him. I'm afraid if he gets too anxious, it might affect his health. Though it might also be that he's tired of me, as a troublesome brat. But when you two lovely granddaughters try to convince him, he'll probably listen."Jane stopped in her tracks.Nathan asked, "What's wrong?"Jane said, "I want to go see Aunt Irene."Nathan

    "Okay."Jane watched her get into the car and waved her goodbye.Jordan was a bit confused and asked Jane, "Jane, why did Charlotte leave early?"Jane replied, "She wanted us to get familiar with our family first, then, as genuine members of the Jackson family, she would come as a guest.""But she's not a guest!""Yes, that's the charm of Charlotte. She knows how to maintain a sense of propriety."Nathan came out of the cemetery, got into the front car, and took Jane and the others back to the Jackson family's residence.Calvin and the members of the Jackson family had already been seated in the living room, waiting for them.Hearing the noise of the cars in the courtyard, Calvin stood up excitedly and walked to the door to greet them.He happened to meet Jane and Jordan.Calvin had once been a powerful figure, but in front of his granddaughters, he appeared helpless, like a child."They... they're here..."Jane and Jordan had already discussed it in the car. They both step

    "Go ahead."Jane wiped his tears and said slowly, "To be honest, I can't say I've completely let go, but seeing you and hearing these words from you, I've decided to let go. Please don't bring this up again in the future. Let's live well from now on, okay?"Calvin nodded repeatedly. "I'll listen to you.""Then let's eat. I'm hungry.""Okay, okay."Nathan knew that when Jane spoke, Calvin would definitely listen.Once seated, Nathan introduced Jane and Jordan to the others."This is Aunt Emily and Aunt Orianna."Jane and Jordan both greeted. "Aunt Emily, Aunt Orianna."The two women's eyes were teary. "It's good that you're back."Nathan pointed to the girl next to Aunt Emily, "This is Aunt Emily's daughter, our cousin."Anna greeted them. "Hello, my dear cousins.""Hello."Nathan added, "Aunt Emily's husband couldn't come right now. Aunt Orianna is single. This is all our family."Jane glanced over and then Nathan leaned in to whisper in her ear, "Grandma and Grandpa had

    Charlotte had left first and reminded Jane.They were going back to the Jackson family today to reunite with the family.However, there were so many issues between them and the Jackson family, which was why Charlotte left them space to adjust.Once they had naturally integrated with the Jackson family, she would come back to meet the family and have a meal together.Therefore, Jane didn't bring Zachary with her, and Jordan followed her example.As she expected, the Jackson family didn't ask about the two of them. Although the atmosphere was fine, they talked about the Jackson family matters and asked about their lives over the past few years.It was likely that Nathan had mentioned it beforehand, so they didn't bring up their marriage."Tonight, let's have Zachary and Westley come over. We'll introduce them to Grandpa and the others," Jane said to Nathan.Nathan nodded. "Aunt Emily's husband will be back tonight too.""It’s a gathering of the son-in-laws."Jane smile. "Looks

    Jonathan almost spit out the tea he was drinking."You have principles now?""Not the right time to talk nonsense."Westley. "Do you always talk in a way that pokes others' pain points?"Jonathan smiled for a moment. "If you've done it, don't be afraid of people talking about it."Westley didn't want to continue the conversation and stood up to leave.He went to the kitchen to find Jordan and found her eating ravioli."Didn't you say you'd help?" Westley sat next to her. "How come you're eating secretly? Give me a bite?"Jordan guarded the food. "It’s in the kitchen. There's still plenty in the pot.""But I want to eat from your bowl.""But I don't want to give you any."Westley laughed. "Okay."But while Jordan took a bite of the ravioli, he kissed her.Jordan's eyes widened as she felt the ravioli in her mouth being stolen away."You're disgusting."Westley smiled. "Sweet."Jordan couldn't eat anymore and pushed the remaining ravioli to him. "I'm not eating anymore."

    Now that she had remarried him, this was also her home, and there was no need to tidy up anymore."Really?" Westley turned her around. "It'll be troublesome to go to another room and come back for something later.""What do you mean?" Jordan felt like she didn't understand his words today. "Just spill it already."Westley nodded seriously. "Okay, I'll spill it. We're married now. From now on, when we come back here, we'll sleep together. If you don't tidy up and pack your things, there won't be anything for you in my room."Jordan understood. She suddenly smiled and patted his shoulder. "Who said that after marriage, we have to sleep in the same bed? If there's nothing of mine in your room, I'll sleep in my own room. It's not like you only have one room."Westley laughed. "Okay, you're being naughty now."Jordan replied, "You become like the people you spend time with."She finished speaking and ran off.She went to the kitchen to see Miranda and offer to help.Miranda told he

    "What is there to prepare?" Westley sat down with Jordan. "They're not strangers."Miranda gave her a glare and handed Jordan some fruit. "Look at me, still wearing my pajamas...""Jordy, it's not that I don't care about you. It's just that Westley didn't say anything, and you two... we also didn't want to ask too much. Wait for me to change into something proper. What would you like to eat? I'll personally cook for you."Jordan quickly stopped her. "No need, we're so familiar with each other already, Mom."Miranda froze, then after a long pause, she grasped Jordan's hand, wiping her tears as she said, “Okay.”Jordan gave Westley a look, and he handed her a tissue.She wiped Miranda's tears. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you worry.""It's our fault," Miranda patted her hand. "We never thought that Westley would do that.""You two grew up together and had a great relationship. We always thought, when we're gone, he'll be able to love you and take care of you well on our beha

    Jordan asked him, "You finished so quickly?""Why does it sound like you're unhappy that I came over?""No, it's just that your meetings used to take quite a long time."Westley casually ruffled her hair.Jordan wasn't happy. "You messed up my hairstyle!"Westley chuckled softly. "You're just had your hair down. Is it even styled?""You don't understand.""Alright, I don't understand."Westley pulled her back to the bedroom.Jordan wasn't happy. When they were going upstairs, he carried her back to the room."Do you really like kids that much?"Jordan put her hands against him to stop him from getting any closer."What, can't I like kids now? Henry and Sparrow are so cute."Westley caught both her hands and pinned them down. "Then should we have one too?"Jordan struggled. "Who said I want to have one with you?""Then who do you want to have one with?"Jordan kicked him with her leg. "Get off me."Westley bent down and asked, "Afraid of the pain?""Yes." Jordan was pi

    Jordan didn't really know—she had only come here to escape.Now, there wasn't much left to escape from.If it weren't for wanting to spend a few more days with Jane and the others, she would have already been ready to go back to work.Westley saw that she had been thinking for a long time without speaking and asked, "So, are you coming with me to the theme park, or playing with those two kids?"Jordan almost forgot—there were two adorable children here."Then I'll play with the kids.""What, still think I'm too old?"Jordan gave him a playful glare. "Stop bringing that up all the time. Don't think you can keep me trapped with that topic."Westley asked, "Then why not come to the theme park with me?""Weren't you the one who gave me the choice?"Jordan gave a soft snort. "If you only want one answer, then next time give me just one option.""Alright." Westley looked at her with eyes full of affection. "Whatever you say goes.""I've got a meeting—you go play with the kids."

    It felt very unreal.It felt like she was dreaming."Will you marry me?""Huh?"Jordan was completely dazed, thinking she would hear him say a lot of touching words.But in the end, all she heard were just those simple words."Are you... talking?"Westley nodded. "Yes. Will you marry me?"For a moment, Jordan truly wanted to throw the flowers at his face.But then she remembered her conversation with Charlotte.And she felt that Charlotte had a point.They were already married, yet Westley still wanted to give her a sense of ceremony.Even if he didn't say any romantic lines, she wouldn't be able to refuse his proposal now.With that thought in mind, she reached out her hand."I will!"Westley slipped the ring onto her finger, stood up, and hugged her.Jordan heard him whisper softly in her ear. "I'm really nervous. It's my first time doing something like this, so I don’t know what to say—I was afraid I'd cry. Give me a little grace. Whatever you want to hear, I'll say

    "Okay."Jordan started to feel something was off. "Charlotte, I remember you didn't like the smell of cigarettes. Didn't Frank stop smoking after being with you?"Charlotte responded calmly, "Not really. If I didn't like the smell of cigarettes, I wouldn't have gotten along with Jane for so many years. She was already smoking when I first met her. Also, Frank didn't stop smoking just because he was with me. It was only later, when I was pregnant and feeling unwell, that he stayed by my side and simply forgot about it. Men have a lot of work pressure too. If he smokes now and out of my sight, I think I should try to understand that. That's what being a couple means."Jordan was persuaded. "Yeah, I guess you’re right. There should be mutual understanding. I do act a bit spoiled sometimes."Charlotte said, "When I talk about understanding, I don't mean compromise. If there's something you really can't accept, it still needs to be discussed between the two of you."Jordan was confused

    "Wow."Jane and Charlotte stood at the doorway, watching with great interest.It was quite the appetizing show.Zachary and Frank, on the other hand, weren't interested, and headed to the yard to set up the grill.Frank chatted casually with him. "He's been proving himself for two days now—why do you keep poking at his age? He even made you bleed."Zachary said, "I did it for the greater good. Look at them now, kissing like they can't bear to part."Frank cocked his brows and said nothing in response.Jordan overheard Jane and Charlotte's voices.Her face turned completely red from embarrassment.She couldn't push Westley away, so she had no choice but to bite him.When he relaxed his grip, she took the chance to run.She didn't even dare glance at Jane and Charlotte at the door.Back in her room, she buried herself under the blanket.So embarrassing.Downstairs, Jane and Charlotte, satisfied with the show, headed to the yard.Westley, meanwhile, went upstairs.Sure eno

    'What was that?'Jordan truly had nothing in her head but confusion.She had just been teased by Jane outside.She thought that since she hadn't come downstairs in the past couple of days, everyone already knew—Westley was... not impotent.Why was Frank saying things like that now?"Frank, what are you talking about?""Nothing."Frank left the kitchen and sat next to Charlotte.After Jane finished tending to Zachary's wound, she even fed him some food.The man held his wife in his arms and asked in a low voice, "All your friends are bringing their husbands food. Why aren't you doing the same?"Charlotte smiled. "That's because Jane took a bite and didn't like it. She thought it would be wasteful, so she gave it to Zachary."Frank played with her hand and asked, "Is there nothing you don't like to eat?""Nope."In the kitchen—Jordan sensed that Westley was upset. She reached out and hugged him, asking, "Did Zachary and the others tease you?"Westley finished handling wha
