Chapter 1372

Author: Lean
Aunt Orianna twirled her big wavy curls and proudly lifted her chin, saying, "Well, I'm unlucky in love and have inherited so many estates. Later, I thought, I have more money than I can spend, so it's better not to bring harm to others. Having so many lives on my hands isn't good either. You guys agree, right?"

Jane and Jordan never expected Aunt Orianna to be such an interesting person.

They were shocked for a moment.

"Well, Aunt Orianna, you're very kind," Jane commented.

Jordan didn't know what to say, so she gave her a thumbs up.

Aunt Orianna held their hands and said, "I was young and just wanted to have fun back then. Otherwise, I wouldn't have lost you two. I'm sorry."

"Please don't say that." During dinner earlier, Jane had already sensed that although the members of the Jackson family were talking about joyful topics and seemed very concerned about them, there was still a lot unsaid.

They hesitated, holding back many words.

Now that they were alone, the atmosphere shi

    Because the memorial was rushed, some of the gifts couldn't be bought straightaway.Aunt Orianna had a lot to say, but she didn't rush it. She allowed them to get some rest firstShe went to prepare for the evening's "big meal" with Aunt Emily.Jordan wanted to sleep with Jane.The two of them lay down in bed.They still felt a bit dazed."I really didn't expect we'd be sisters," said Jordan. "I didn't expect we'd be part of the Jackson family in Impelia. I didn’t expect us to have such a strong background."Jane felt even more moved than Jordan.After all, her childhood had been so tough that sometimes she couldn't even see a future.She never imagined that her future self would be a rich heiress!It felt so surreal.They did get up early today, and hadn't slept well last night.After chatting for a while, they both fell asleep.When they woke up, it was almost time for dinner.They rushed to wash up and go downstairs, seeing everyone busy, they asked, "Why didn't you wa

    Westley waited for a moment, and after Jane and Zachary went inside, a few seconds later, Jordan ran out.She waved at him. "Westley!"Westley glanced at Nathan, then picked up the gifts and went inside."Hurry up and come inside. It’s cold outside."Jordan reached out to help him with the things, but he refused."I can handle it, it's heavy. You have grease on your hands too."Jordan wiped off the snowflakes on his shoulder. "Have you been waiting for a while?"Westley nodded. "Nathan is making things right for you two. Giving a little warning."Jordan glanced back secretly, asking softly, "What did he do to trouble you?""It's fine." Westley smiled slightly. "Just stood outside a bit longer."Jordan nodded and handed him his slippers.Nathan was behind them, watching the pair of them, the corner of his lips twitching.No one knew what he was thinking at that moment.Zachary had entered a few seconds before Westley, and he was already blending in well with the members of

    Anna whispered to Aunt Emily in the kitchen, "Mom, Westley is quite handsome."Aunt Emily replied, "You only care about looks. If we're talking about looks, isn't Zachary handsome too?"Anna continued, "When I say he’s handsome, it isn't just about looks, it's in every way.""Of course, Zachary is also a great person.""It's just that everyone thought Westley had bullied Jordan before."Aunt Emily said, "Go bring the meatballs out, get the table ready for dinner.""Got it."When Anna went outside, she didn't see Jordan and Westley.Jane and Zachary had planned to go back to their room to talk, but Jordan had said it was snowing heavily and went out to take photos.So they followed her out.They didn't expect that in just a short while, the ground was already covered with a thick layer of snow, perfect for a snowball fight.Jane started rolling snowballs, and Zachary stood nearby making a snowman.Jordan took a few photos of the scene, capturing both Jane and Zachary in them

  • Ex-husband’s Regret   Chapter 1376

    Westley had also felt that the photo was taken well, but the lighting in the hallway was still a bit dim.The atmosphere was good, but if it had been during the day, it would have been even better."Alright."The whole family sat down.Now everyone was gathered, and compared to the lunch welcoming Jane and Jordan, this dinner felt even more grand, especially with the meatballs added.Calvin had been in poor health ever since the incident with the Jackson family and couldn't drink alcohol.He drank tea instead.Raising his teacup, he said first, "I admit that I haven't fulfilled my responsibility to my two granddaughters, so I have no right to express any opinions about whom they choose to marry. But now that they've returned to my side, if in the future, any of you dare to bully them, I will do everything in my power, even at my old age, to stand up for them."Zachary and Westley both stood up, holding their wine glasses, and bowed toward Calvin.Zachary said, "Don't worry.

    "Anna." Westley took out his phone. "Get ready, we're going to make a video call."Anna, with her big, sparkling eyes, asked curiously, "Who is it?""You'll find out soon." After connecting the video call, Westley turned the phone towards Anna."Hello, Anna."There was a short pause..."Oh my god!" Anna's scream almost blew the roof off.She was so excited and flustered."What should I do? I didn't put on makeup today.""Oh my god, Westley, why didn't you say we're video calling with my idol? What should I do? What should I do now?""Just be yourself," said Westley. As soon as her idol spoke, Anna immediately sat up straight, not daring to touch her phone. Westley held it up for her the entire time.They chatted for a while, and he held the phone for as long as the conversation lasted.Jordan was worried that Westley arm would be sore so she wanted to hold the phone for him, but he declined, pulling her to sit next to him.Anna didn't chat for long, her idol had other thing

    Jordan's eyes suddenly lit up. "Then stop teasing Aunt Orianna and give it to her quickly, or else we'll be sleeping outside tonight."Westley replied, "What's wrong with sleeping outside? It's not like we can't afford a hotel."Jordan said, "Then you go ahead and stay there. Aunt Orianna’s mad. Do you think Nathan’s going to let you off easily? I think you'll be heading back to Jeswood tonight. Don't blame me for not speaking up for you. It's your own fault. You prepared so much, yet you didn’t prepare anything for Aunt Orianna."Westley hugged her tightly. At that moment, the sound of a door opening came from behind them.Jordan peeked her head out from the coat.Westley's deep voice came from above her head. "Your snowman is about to be buried in the snow. What took you so long?"Zachary said indifferently, "Isn't it because of your surprise? I almost got kicked out of Impelia."He walked over to the snowman and tidied it up.Jane stood under the eaves and said, "It’s still

    "Take a shower first.""Take a shower first..."Seeing the mischievous look on the man's face, Jordan kicked him. "Hurry up."Westley gave her an invitation. "Want to join me?"Jordan glared at him. "Don't do anything strange in my house."Westley cocked his brows. "If I'm not mistaken, we are legally married, right?"Jordan pushed him into the bathroom. "It's not happening in my house!""Okay, you win." Westley started taking off his pants, and Jordan quickly turned around to close the door.She was waiting and feeling a bit bored, so she sent a message to Jane, asking if she knew what Westley had prepared for Aunt Orianna.Earlier, when they were looking at the snow by the door, it seemed like they both knew about it.When Jane saw the message, she knew Westley was up to something mischievous.This was between the married couple, and she wasn't going to get involved."Jordan, I'm a bit busy right now..."Jordan misunderstood and thought it was because she and Zachary wer

    Westley said, "I need to go to the bathroom.""Oh..."Jordan took a deep breath and opened the door."Go ahead."But the man's large body blocked the bathroom door, standing still.Jordan tried several times to avoid him and step outside."Move out of the way.""Why are your eyes so red?" Westley cupped her face. "Did you cry?""No... it's the facial cleanser."The man’s heart ached, lowered his head, and placed a kiss on her. "Sorry, I shouldn't have teased you.""No..." Jordan didn't know where to put her hands.He was still wearing only a bath towel.He embraced her, his bare upper body pressing against hers. She had just washed up and was only wearing an undergarment. His intense body heat seeped into her skin.She felt something stirring inside her."Weren't you going to the bathroom?"Westley let go of her and asked, "Do you need me to get someone to bring medicine?"Jordan shook her head. "I've taken care of it, just need to get some rest, and I'll be fine."Fin

    Caleb was thinking that in the future, he could let her drink a little more.Of course, only when he was around.She looked kind of cute like this."I did say that, but didn't you just say you wanted to thank me?"Whitney felt that alcohol really wasn't a good thing.Even when hanging out with Jane and the others, she decided not to drink too much anymore.The rationality and logic that she was so proud of had completely vanished.She had never been as calm in front of Caleb as she was with others.Besides, there was a power imbalance between her and him.If she were sober, she wouldn't have been able to reject him anyway.Let alone now, when her mind was muddled.But maybe because she was muddled, she dared to say things that she didn’t usually dare to say."I just lost my balance earlier, and you helped me. Even if you don't accept verbal gratitude, that doesn't mean I owe you something this big."Caleb saw she could barely stand, so he held her by the waist to keep her

    "But your reaction just now didn’t seem like you knew I was here."Jane tried to pull her leg back, but when she couldn't, she slapped him in frustration."It was called acting, understand? I didn't want you to look embarrassed, so I got those two out of the way first."Zachary rubbed her ankle with his thumb, as if he believed her. "Then should I be thanking you—for being so considerate?"Jane couldn't be bothered to argue. "Let go. I want to drink.""I'll drink with you."Meanwhile, Frank held Charlotte close and asked in a low voice, "Did she really know we were here?"Charlotte nodded. "What do you think? You really think Jane would mess around during her marriage? She might be bold, but she has boundaries. But you guys really are annoying."Frank hooked her chin with his thumb. "I knew it. You're being cold to me because you're sick of me. I've said it so many times, and you still wouldn't admit it."After saying that, he picked her up and walked out of the bar.He hadn'

    Charlotte nudged him with her elbow, warning him not to stir things up.Jordan truly didn't dare to stay any longer. "Westley, take me home.""Okay." Westley finally got up. "You all take your time. If it gets too late, don't go back to the old house—just find a place to crash.""But..." Jordan suddenly felt like leaving wasn't such a good idea. "Maybe I'll stay and play a bit more."Westley simply dragged her out."Jane and Zachary...""You can't control what they do, so why bother worrying over nothing?"Jordan was settled into the passenger seat, her seatbelt fastened firmly.She didn't resist, mostly because she felt what Westley said made sense.Jane was way more capable than she was. This kind of minor drama would be easy for her to handle.Plus, with the smart and composed Charlotte around—It was better if she didn't add to the chaos.Once Westley got into the driver's seat, she asked, "Why did you guys show up? Especially you—didn't you say no seeing each other a w

    But it was just a polite gesture—if they had been singing inside, they wouldn't have heard her anyway.So after knocking, she pushed the door open and went in.Charlotte and the others followed to take a look.When they saw the scene inside, they gasped.The four men from home were sitting around a cards table, all eyes on the door, each with a different expression.Zachary looked at Jane, who entered first, and said with a smile, "Honey, pick someone you like and give him a kiss."Jane took a step back and bumped into Charlotte's arms.That was when she noticed the big screen beside them—it was showing their own private room."You were watching us?"Zachary tapped the cards on the table with his long fingers, still smiling."If we weren't watching, how would we get to enjoy such an entertaining scene?"They had all been drinking.Whitney didn't hold her liquor well. She was already a little dazed. Although the room was fairly bright, everything seemed a little off to her.

    Caleb didn't respond. Instead, he looked at Westley and played a card.Westley won.And it was a big pot as well.He cocked his brows. "Is this your wedding gift to me, Caleb?"Caleb asked, "Your wedding—Dr. Greyson won't be absent, will he? I heard you two are very close. You've been at death's door multiple times, and he's the one who saved you."Westley nodded. "Theoretically, yes. But I'm not sure if he might have some emergency.""Besides, it's not like you, Caleb, can't reach him. You helped him last time. It's impossible he'd ignore you now."Caleb could contact Carter, but if he did, it would mean helping Carter meet Mandy.He had no interest in meddling in romantic matters—too troublesome.But he couldn't get in touch with Tanner at all.Technically, there was no real need for him to attend Westley's wedding.Even if Whitney was invited by Jane, he himself wasn't obligated.He simply wanted to go, hoping to "accidentally" run into Carter.That way, it wouldn't loo

    Frank pulled her into his arms and asked, "You really have to go out for drinks?"Charlotte nodded. "It's a girls-only night. No men allowed.""Oh?" The man repeated slowly and deliberately, "No… men… allowed?"Charlotte saw the look on his face and knew exactly what he was thinking."Only women. Even the drinks are for women.""Oh? Tell me, how do you tell if a drink is male or female?"Charlotte lightly patted his face twice. "The drinks women drink are for women. Got it?"Frank laughed. "Got it."Over on Jane's end, after finishing her call, she was about to go look for Jordan, but Zachary pulled her into the room and pinned her against the wall.His warm lips covered hers, then quickly pulled away.With his forehead against hers, the man asked, "Going out for drinks?"Jane hooked his chin with her finger. "What, Mr. Collins, trying to seduce your way into a drinking invitation?"Zachary chuckled lowly, kissed her again, and asked, "May I?""No."Jane rejected him comp

    Jordan had grown up in the Howard family, but the person who had taken care of her since she was little had an old house.She arranged for Jane and the others to stay there, and she would also be getting married from that house.She didn't have many friends. Originally, Leanne was supposed to be her bridesmaid. Although she had a child, she had never been married.But Leanne wasn't sure if she could make it back in time, so she let Jane and Charlotte take over as substitutes for now. They would adjust accordingly later."Try on the dress. If there's a problem, I can still make adjustments."With the help of the two of them, Jordan put on the wedding dress.But Jane was most looking forward to the wedding dress.Both her and Charlotte's weddings were going to be Cherian style.Jordan, however, wanted a Western-style one.And Charlotte, who had designed clothes for many years, had never actually designed a wedding dress before.This was her first attempt, and she was very excit

    "Okay, I won't bring it up anymore."Westley walked over with Jonathan and sat down.Miranda was very satisfied. "Finally, Jordy can have dinner with me again."Jordan smiled. "I'm also happy. I can still call you Mom.""Then let's drink to that.""Okay."Westley waited for the "mother and daughter" to finish speaking, then threw out a big announcement. "By the way, our wedding is on the 22nd of next month."Clang!The spoon in Miranda's hand fell."What did you say?""On the 22nd of next month, Jordy and I are getting married. We sincerely invite you and your husband to attend."Jordan was also shocked.She only knew that Charlotte's dress was being made, and they were picking the wedding date.But Westley hadn't told her about this in advance."Next month, it's almost the New Year.""Yes, it's a wedding before the New Year. Then we'll celebrate the New Year at home. I'm informing you in advance, my dear mom. You can prepare for the the New Year Eve dinner.""The New Y

    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."
