"Sorry, I found out by accident too," he apologized gently, then explained the reason. It all started when Jane posted on Twitter about my hospitalization due to a car accident. He asked for the ward number, planning to visit me today. However, when he arrived at the hospital today, he overheard the nurses chatting about me. Not only was I injured all over, but I also had a miscarriage and unbelievably got discharged the same day.

I pursed my lips slightly. "So you fought with him..."

"We were both upset," Jack said casually. He glossed over it lightly, then looked at me with gentle eyes. "And you, how have you been these days?"

"It's hard to say." I lowered my eyes. "When I used to love him, I looked forward to a happy marriage. Later, when I got pregnant, I hoped every day for the child to come into this world, to become my concern, my only family. But now..."

I smiled bitterly. "I don't even know what else is worth remembering."

Everything became meaningless. I placed my right

    "Okay, I get you!"Tears welled up in my eyes. As I turned my head, I saw a bright star in the sky. It was as if I had suddenly pulled myself out from an emotion that could have completely shattered me at any moment.Jack handed me a tissue from the car. "Go ahead and cry. You can cry today but don't cry anymore after today. Crying too much at times like this hurts your eyes."He didn't let me stay on the mountain for too long and drove me back to the city.After hesitating for a moment, I cautiously asked, "Jack, the girl you've liked for so many years must be a really good girl, right?""Yeah."He nodded without hesitation, his eyes and brows softening. "She's the same girl I mentioned to you just now."I couldn't help but be surprised. "But... that's many years ago.""Yeah, twenty years," he blurted out.Clearly, it was a sincere and deep-rooted affection.I sighed and didn't say anything more. When we arrived downstairs at Jane's house, I softly thanked him, "Thank you fo

    I knew he wasn't joking.And I didn't want him to come up and disturb Jane, so I compromised. "Okay."Before going downstairs, Jane and Jack's actions were identical, wrapping me in an extended down jacket and pulling a hat over my head."Don't think I'm exaggerating." Jane poked my head. "It says online that it's windy now, and it's easy to get headaches in the future.""Alright, alright, you're the best."She meant well for me. After agreeing repeatedly, I casually changed into another pair of shoes and went downstairs.Seeing me coming out of the unit building, Ryan's eyes darkened. "Why are you wearing so much? Are you sick?""You care about me?"I found that I had lost the ability to talk to him properly.If he really cared about me, even if he didn't know I was pregnant, he should have asked yesterday how I was after being injured.Regardless of the severity, I had been hit by a car.Ryan frowned. "Why are you speaking in such a cryptic manner?"Not wanting to get int

    I almost blurted out the words, but managed to hold back.There was no point in saying it.I smirked. "You really are selfless. Can I ask you to do another good deed next month?""Go ahead."I said calmly, "Come with me to get the divorce certificate."The restraint that held me tightened suddenly. I could feel the man's fingers tremble faintly, followed by a silent standoff.After a while, the elevator doors suddenly opened, and a loving couple walked out.Ryan seemed momentarily distracted. Seizing the opportunity, I pulled my wrist free and stepped into the elevator.I pressed the close button. As the elevator doors slowly shut, I unexpectedly felt a long-lost sense of relief.Separation was the best choice.It can only be separation.That night, whether it was because things were finally resolved or because I was exhausted, I slept until after nine the next day.Jane didn't wake me up even when she left for work.She made some sandwiches for me for breakfast.I ate tw

    But he turned out to be my uncle!He could use this relationship to talk nonsense in front of Ryan!"Sis, speaking like this really hurts people's feelings." Bradley threw the snacks in his hand away and said, "I know. Isn't it just that your husband cheated on you? I just saw it earlier. That woman looks much worse than you, with a face like an internet celebrity. You let your husband play with her for a while, and when he gets tired of her, he'll come back to the family."In the eyes of these men without moral limits, it seemed particularly light and fluttering.I forced myself to remain calm. "I'm telling you, this matter doesn't need your meddling, understand?""Understood." Bob, as described online, was a typical example of a bad guy growing old. He grinned with his yellow teeth stained from smoking, boldly declaring, "If you don't want me to find Mr. Frost, that's fine. If you can give me 6,000 dollars a month in the future, and settle Bradley's job properly, I won't interfe

    The man wore a dark-colored high-end western suit, his face solemn, his expression cold and indifferent, yet exuding a strong sense of oppression, a born aura of dominance.I was slightly stunned.Bob immediately changed his tune, no longer the arrogant and domineering figure from earlier. He rubbed his hands together, put on a smile, and approached Ryan, nodding and bowing, "Mr. Frost, why have you come? I was teaching this little brat a lesson."My sense of pride seemed to be trampled under Bob's feet. Even though I had already reached the point of divorce, I didn't want Ryan to see me in such a poor state or such an embarrassing relative."You can leave, this has nothing to do with you."I pushed Ryan towards the exit.I didn't want my uncle to meddle in our affairs, and similarly, I didn't want him involved in this mess."Are you scared?"Bob blocked the doorway in a stride, raising his voice. "Are you afraid my nephew-in-law will know how ungrateful you are?"I was render

    Upon hearing this, Bob's expression immediately changed, looking very embarrassed. "This... this... we're all family, why do we need to be so clearly about things?"Ryan remained calm and serious, advising, "Of course we should. Uncle Bob, if there's a debt of gratitude, it should be repaid. Don't feel awkward about it. Besides the money she's given you over the years, you've raised her all these years, which must have cost at least 6 to 10 thousand dollars. So, I should give around 6 to 10 million.""Mainly, mainly..."Bob's face alternated between pale and red, finally flushing red. "Mainly it's been so many years, how can we calculate a sum?""Don't bother. What bank are you with? I'll make a call and check in a few minutes," Ryan threatened, as if he was about to take out his phone.Bob was frightened and immediately rushed over, desperately saying, "Mr. Frost, there’s no need to check!"He was afraid that if Ryan found out how poorly he had treated me, he would cause trouble

    The tone of his voice was flat, but it was chillingly cold.It seemed like, as long as Bob dared, he would crush Bob's hand.This seems to be the first time I had ever, truly experienced what it was like to be defended by him.Only, it came a little too late. I wasn’t touched at allBob tried to move, but realized that a man like him couldn’t break free from Ryan’s grip. This caused him to tremble and quickly explained, "Mr. Frost, accident, this is an accident!"Aunt Laura looked at this situation and was also a little afraid, "Charlotte..."I would like to give Bob a lesson, but the aunt is already like this, it is not very appropriate.I can only pull Ryan's arm, "Forget it, let go of him."When Ryan was angry, it was not so easy to listen to others, he stared at Bob. "If you touch her, I will cut off your hand, understand?""I understand! I wouldn’t dare... you can rest assure!" Bob said with a pale face.Only then did Ryan throw his hand away. I felt exhausted as I looke

    "Charlotte."His gaze lingered on me, emotions swirling in his eyes. "I regret going to the Civil Affairs Bureau with you.""Huh?""I can't bear to divorce you."His voice was low, as if veiled in mist.I licked my lips, nodded towards the elevator about to arrive. "I’ve got to go."I had said what needed to be said. Those futile struggles would only add to the trouble."I said I’ll give you a lift...""Ryan!"The elevator doors opened, and inside was unexpectedly Jessica, her face lit up in surprise, softly saying, "Didn't you say you wouldn't be free to come this afternoon? You couldn't bear to leave me alone, could you?"Without looking back, I stepped into the elevator, pressed the floor button, not even sparing a glance to see what expression Ryan had.Whether it was resignation, annoyance, or indulgence, none of it mattered to me now.What I must learn now was to let go. Let go of someone I had pursued for eight years but couldn't keep up with.On the way home, Jack

    Jane wasn't fooled."You just want to help Westley."Zachary laughed, placing some meat on her plate. "It's up to you."Ding-dong.The doorbell rang suddenly.With a mouthful of meat, Jane mumbled, "My place is quite lively recently."Zachary stood up to open the door.At the door stood Raymond."Sir...""You didn't answer your phone or respond to the messages. I had no choice but to..."Zachary's expression remained indifferent. "Get to the point."Raymond glanced behind him, lowering his voice to a near whisper. "The investigation team has arrived."Zachary's eyes flickered slightly, but his voice remained as cold as ever. "Got it."He turned back and walked to Jane, bending down to kiss her briefly. "I have to go on a business trip."Jane didn't ask more, with his job, business trips and meetings were normal. During the early stages of a project, it was understandable for him to be busy."How long?""Not sure yet."Zachary picked up his phone and quickly glanced at

    As soon as he turned around, he saw a certain onlooker hiding behind the screen, playfully winking at him.Zachary curved his lips into a smile but kept his gaze straight ahead, walking to the kitchen without saying a word.Jane hadn't finished her snack last night and was too tired after what happened with him. She didn't have the energy to think about anything.Now that she had rested well, everything seemed a bit confusing to her.It was uncomfortable not finishing the gossip.She hugged him from behind and sweetly said, "Who is this? You’re such a talented man. Oh, you’re my boyfriend."Zachary started the stove and added oil to the pan. Hearing her, he didn't respond at all.Jane, feeling playful, continued, "Come on, come on, the incredibly handsome Zachary, the husband who's endlessly good to his wife, surely he wouldn't let me suffer by not finishing the gossip, right?"Zachary shivered slightly. "Speak properly.""I am speaking properly!" she replied coquettishly.Za

    He rushed back that night.Upon learning that Jordan had gone to the Howard family's residence, he found himself only looking for trouble.Buck watched Westley hurry back, his normally well-arranged suit now creased.He didn't even enter the house, instead turning and walking away.He sighed inwardly.If he liked her, why push her away?Now, when he wanted to pull her back, the string had already snapped.If it weren’t for the fact that Westley was Buck’s superior, he really wanted to say, "You deserve this."Mr. Howard glanced toward the door and then poked Mrs. Howard's arm with his finger.Mrs. Howard looked at Jordan, who had her head lowered.Her voice was firm, clearly having made up her mind.It wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision."Alright, I'll persuade Westley. But you're still my goddaughter. Since you're here, why not have a meal with me?"Jordan nodded.Westley went to find Zachary.Zachary was cooking, and he didn't answer the phone in time.Jane was stil

    Zachary had taken control of significant power by his 30s.He owned countless riches.His troubled love life was something he had created himself, and he couldn't blame anyone else.What was there to be violent about?Even what Zachary did didn’t count as violent.Though sometimes, he could indeed be annoyingly domineering and overbearing."Are you cursing me inwardly?"Jane quickly shook her head. "No, I just don't understand why Westley..."Zachary narrowed his eyes slightly. "Liar.""You're misbehaving, so today I'll punish you. No gossip for you.""What?"This was serious!For Jane, this was worse than being executed.She quickly leaned in and kissed him. "Please, tell me, Zachary..."Zachary's gaze flickered. "What did you just call me?"Jane leaned in close to his ear and whispered, "Honey?"The man's Adam's apple bobbed.The interrupted atmosphere returned as he flipped over, pinning her beneath him.Jane quickly extended her hand to push him off. "You can't do

    Jane's eyes turned sly."How are you different?"As she spoke, her hand slid downward, teasing, "Let me take a look."Zachary pressed down on her hand and grunted.But there was a smile in his eyes.He tilted his head and leaned toward her ear, his voice husky. "Let me help you... take a good look."It was at that moment that Westley's call came through.At first, Zachary didn't want to answer.He thought Westley should already have a clear understanding of things.But today, for some reason, the calls kept coming, one after another.Jane pushed him. "Answer the phone first, there must be something urgent."She flipped over and pulled the blanket over herself.Zachary cursed under his breath, suppressed his anger, and went to the balcony to take the call in the cold air."You'd better have an emergency."Westley's voice was hoarse, and his speech was fragmented, completely different from his usual meticulous and logical manner.Zachary listened for a while before piecing

    Luthor drifted on the sea for a whole day and night, reaching the border of the Cloud.Just as he was about to cross, he was surrounded by Raymond and his men.Luthor looked disheveled. Upon seeing Raymond, he thought Zachary had come and quickly tidied up his dirty clothes.He then lifted his proud head and said, "Since you're here, come out."Raymond sneered. "Mr. Collins isn’t here. It doesn't take his presence to catch you."The local police from the Cloud also arrived, joining in the capture.Luthor was unwilling to fail like this.Thinking that Nina was still behind him to help, he prepared to ignore the men around him and cross the border.At that moment, a woman charged into the encirclement and pushed him past the border."Goodbye, Luthor."She raised her gun and fired. The police could only take action.Blood splattered across Luthor's face.It was as if he was transported back to that day when he watched his beloved die in front of him."Juliet!"The woman smil

    Since then, he had begun to alienate her.After getting married, he became even colder.A kiss was a luxury.So she had never had such a fierce and intense kiss before.She didn't even know how to breathe properly during a kiss and didn't know that her breath would be taken away like that.When she was let go, she almost thought that she would suffocate.She took big gulps of air, just like a fish out of water gasping for oxygen on the shore.Westley looked down at her with his eyes lowered.Only a small lamp was on in the room. In the dim environment, his drooping eyelashes hid most of his desires.When Jordan's breathing began to stabilize, he lowered his head and kissed her again."Westley..."Jordan shook her head to avoid it, but her head was held tightly by his big hands.She was forced to raise her slender and fair neck to endure it.She had nowhere to hide. When she couldn't breathe smoothly, she wildly waved her tied hands.Her fingernails scratched across his ja

    However, one person who had a fairly good relationship with Leona looked at her worriedly and asked, "Your husband won't do anything to Leona, will he?"There was no reason for Jordan to stay. She picked up her bag and replied indifferently, "Shouldn't you be happy for her? Didn't she want to have something going on with my husband? Isn't it just what she wants to be taken away like this?"After saying that, she turned around and left.But then she met Westley's eyes.Oliver had just raised his hand to stop her, but when he saw Westley, he put his hand down.Jordan just took one look and then withdrew her gaze, sidestepping past Westley.Westley didn't stop her either. Instead, he followed her downstairs.When walking out of the hotel restaurant, he grabbed her arm and took her into his car.Jordan didn't even bother to argue at that moment.Anyway, it wouldn't lead to any result even if they argued.Westley didn't say a word either, until they arrived at the hotel where he w

    The girl finally couldn't hold back anymore. She immediately got up and walked out.As she reached the door, she turned and said to Jordan with a feigned sweetness. "Remember, you’re the one who asked me to do this."Jordan didn't bother responding.Once the girl was far enough away, Jordan stood up and went to the window to look down.Westley had been looking up at the window of her private room.Their eyes met.Westley even raised a hand towards her.Jordan didn't move, and looked at him expressionlessly.The girl reached Westley and stopped in front of him.She walked slowly, worried that the wind might mess up her carefully styled fringe."Hello, Mr. Howard."Westley didn't even spare her a glance.When she walked over, Buck blocked her a meter away from Westley.The girl adjusted her breathing and flashed a smile she thought was very sweet."I'm Jordy's good friend, my name is Leona."Westley gave her a side glance, and Buck immediately escorted her away."I won’t
