Chapter 248

Author: Lean
As I diligently wiped his body without distraction, suddenly, he let out an extremely soft bark.

"Woof!"

"Huh?"

My movements paused slightly as I looked at him inexplicably.

His eyes softened, his voice clear and sincere, he said, "I’m beginning to have other thoughts about you, so I’m barking like a dog."

Just as I was about to say something, my gaze lowered, and I saw a certain area was ready to go.

In an instant, my cheeks flushed with heat. I threw the towel aside. "Do it yourself!"

‘Pervert.’

Even with injuries like this, he still had energy for such things.

Although Ryan's injuries were severe, the doctors at the St. Heart Hospital were indeed as renowned as rumored, and coupled with the attentive care in the VIP ward, less than a week later, they said he could be discharged.

The doctor even exclaimed, "Mrs. Frost, Mr. Frost's quick recovery is all thanks to your personal care. You two are truly exemplary spouses! No wonder there are rumors online that Mr. Frost is a do

    After hanging up the phone, Jane kept glancing at me sneakily.I was puzzled. "Why are you looking at me like that?""Do you think the investor Lynsey is introducing to us might be your ex-husband?""No way." I shook my head, but then I hesitated a bit. "Ryan just got out of the hospital, and I haven't heard him or Gary mention this recently.""Then who could it be?" Jane became puzzled.I couldn't guess either, so I said, "Well, since we have a dinner appointment, let's go and see. Jelaston is a small place. If it's someone we know, they can't keep their identity a secret.""Good point," Jane agreed.Later in the evening, after changing into a different outfit, I grabbed a beige wool coat and went with Jane to the dinner appointment.The restaurant was booked by Jane. Having worked in the marketing department for many years, she knew her way around social engagements.Upon arrival, the waiter led us to a private room.The private room faced the river and offered a view of th

    He was very polite, upon seeing the three of us had arrived, he slightly bowed. "Sorry, it's been a long time since I came back. I underestimated the evening rush hour in Jelaston.""No problem, it's great that you could make it!"Lynsey stood up and introduced him to Jane and me, "This is Mr. Ian Brown, the CEO of RF Group."I had thought that someone in such a high position would be a bit aloof, but unexpectedly, he was very approachable. He even took the initiative to refill our glasses.Both Jane and I were somewhat bewildered. He put down the decanter, got back to the point, and said, "There's no problem with the investment, but the RF Group must have a significant stake. Are you both prepared for this?""Yes." I nodded.I had looked into some investment cases before, and in the end, the founders often didn't retain much ownership.But since I didn't have the capital myself, this was how it had to be.Jane was good at negotiation and smiled, "Mr. Brown, we're all from Jela

    "How did you know?"After asking such a question, I felt a bit foolish.Given his relationship with Bethany, he would obviously know.Seeing that he had no intention of taking the dress, I offered it again, only to hear him say with a half-smile, "Mrs. Frost, you think so little of me. It's just a dress. Do you think I would take it back after giving it to you?""Give?"I was somewhat surprised.This dress was quite expensive, certainly costing seven figures.Frank crossed his arms and completely avoided my attempt to return it. With a flamboyant and unrestrained attitude, he said, "Otherwise, would you just be my female companion for nothing?""Fine then."I knew I couldn't return it, so I accepted it with a smile.For a family like theirs, this amount of money was indeed negligible. Persisting in refusal would seem pretentious.I smiled slightly, "Then thank you.""If you really want to thank me, do me a favor.""I’m not being a female companion again."I rejected insti

    "It's my fault," he spoke with guilt, bending down to pull me into his embrace. His tone was both self-reproachful and gentle. "I didn't understand you enough before. I only thought you were independent and resilient, but I never considered understanding you from a husband's perspective and caring for you properly.""But I will make an effort in the future."After saying this, as if lacking the courage to wait for my refusal, he added, "I'm going to the office now. Enjoy your breakfast. If you want anything else, just let me know, and I'll bring it to you tomorrow.""Ry..."Before I could say anything, he had already left.Looking at the steaming breakfast on the table, I sat down again and started eating.No matter what, food shouldn't be wasted.For several days in a row, Ryan appeared at my door on time every morning like clockwork.If I didn't open the door, he wouldn't press further but would just leave a note on it.Every breakfast was different and accompanied by a stic

    I held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, my knuckles turned pale, and under the threat of the gangster, I had no choice but to step on the gas.Even though we were out of the underground car park, the dagger was still pressed against my neck at an unnoticeable angle.I dared not move, and the fear in my heart was rising.I tried my best to calm myself down. "Who asked you to come?"The gangster snorted coldly. "Don't talk so much nonsense to me, just drive."He was very defensive.I suddenly understood what Ryan meant by what he said in the morning.However, not only did I not expect it, but he probably didn't expect that the other party would act so quickly.At this time on the weekend, there was already a traffic jam.After driving for more than an hour, the car slowly drove out of the city center area along Sky Avenue.Looking at the direction that was getting farther and farther away, I became more and more nervous.The criminal would only give the order at the

    "How many times do I have to tell you? You don't deserve him!""Why didn't you believe me?"She covered her mouth and laughed, pinching my cheeks hard. Leaning in, she gritted her teeth and said, "Do you really think I'm going to let you be a stumbling block to getting into the Frost family? Do you think I'm like Jessica, who couldn't even deal with someone like you?""Charlotte, I've never failed to get what I wanted since child.""If I can't have it, my mom won't just sit back and do nothing as I become upset. You're so weak. Why do you get to compete with me?"She said this while glancing at a tattooed gangster nearby. "Call Ryan.""Okay."The tattooed man responded and immediately went to make the call.I frowned and looked at Bethany. "You and Zack are working together. What do you want?""What do I want?"She smiled and clapped her hands as she stood up, looking down on me. "Are you still worried that I'll hurt Ryan? Don't worry. He's my carefully chosen husband.

    As I slowly began to suffocate, my consciousness became somewhat blurred. I felt so uncomfortable...So uncomfortable that I wanted to die.Originally, I no longer wished to have any ties with Ryan, but in this situation, he was the only one I could think of.‘Ryan... please hurry... save me...’Just as I was about to lose consciousness, when a bucket of cold water was suddenly thrown over my head.The cold wind was already sweeping through the basement, and now this, not only brought me back to some level of consciousness but also made me shiver uncontrollably.The icy water streamed down my face, sliding into my collar and neck.The cold was bone-chilling.I barely opened my eyes and noticed that Bethany was also tied up to a post nearby.In fact, she had two red handprints on her face and her clothes were dirty, looking quite disheveled.However, she was standing calmly on a chair beneath her feet.I gave a cold smile, my voice a bit weak, "It seems you're quite the act

    "Three..."Ryan's aura dropped sharply. He steadily raised the gun, aiming it at Bethany.Bethany desperately shook her head. "No... Ryan, don't..."Ryan, however, showed no signs of emotional disturbance. But in the fleeting moment our eyes met, I saw a deep, suppressed anguish in his gaze.Zack continued to count down. "Two..."Ryan gritted his teeth, lightly shaking his wrist, and chambered the gun with one hand."One..."Bang!In the instant the gun fired, Ryan suddenly changed direction, and with precision, pulled the trigger whilst aiming at me!I was completely frozen, my blood running cold!It turned out that I was the one he abandoned.Even if it meant I had to die.Despair seeped into every part of me in an instant. I stared blankly in Ryan's direction, my vision becoming unfocused.Although the anticipated pain did not come, somewhere within me, a sharp, piercing pain throbbed."It's my own choice...""I'm trying to win you back...""I'll take the remaining n

    She now saw herself only as a sister figure to him. Even though they were a bit close, there was still a sense of distance and wariness.It was impossible for her to fully open up to him.But at that moment, suddenly talking about their relationship wasn't really appropriate.Besides, with how things had developed between her and Westley, if he intervened, it would just force them apart.In the end, it would be her who got hurt.‘Forget it.’Nathan decided to just watch how things would unfold.If Westley still didn't realize his mistakes and hurt Jordan again, then no matter what, he couldn't let them be together."Has Jasmine not come back?""Huh?" The topic changed too quickly, and Jordan was a little slow to react. "No.""Nathan, did you take anything from this room?"Nathan's gaze darkened slightly. "No."Noticing that he was in a bad mood, Jordan didn't ask about his situation with Jasmine."Jasmine probably has something she wants to do."Nathan could tell from her

    "I've already picked out a few candidates, but I just haven't had the chance to arrange meetings for you yet. Maybe you've only ever been exposed to him since childhood. Try dating someone else, and you might realize he isn't the only one for you." Jordan shook her head. "Nathan, that's not it..." "I'm certain I like him—no matter how outstanding others are, I won't be interested." Nathan frowned. "You've never tried being with anyone else. How can you be so sure?" Of course, Jordan was sure. Ever since her youthful heart first fluttered, she had been certain, apart from Westley, she would never love anyone else. And that was precisely why his indifference had wounded her so deeply. She had filed for divorce and despised his later attempts at remorse. Because she had never wavered in her feelings—yet he only began to love her after she decided to let go. If he had realized it even a little sooner, they wouldn't have suffered through such a painful, drawn-out

    "I’m not doing anything," Westley answered her question, squeezing her hand slightly. "Just need your help with something."Jordan was already in her 20s.How could she not understand the things between men and women?His voice was dangerously hoarse now, and what kind of help could he possibly need from her?"You do it yourself, I can't help.""Well, I’ll do all the hard work."He was the one doing all the hard work indeed.But he was holding her hand, making her hand... move with his!Jordan tried to pull her hand back. "Westley, you’re making me mad."Westley leaned on her shoulder and laughed lowly. "Alright, after you help me, feel free to get angry. Hit me however you want. But right now, Jordy, I can't stop."The temperature in the kitchen gradually rose.With the heating, it made the air dry and uncomfortable.She had just taken a shower to cool down, but now, a thin layer of sweat had formed.She felt hot.Jordan had nowhere to hide and couldn't break free.In t

    The arm around her waist suddenly tightened.The breath sprayed near her ear, hot and unsettling.The man's hoarse voice came. "Don't want to sleep? Then how about we do something else?"Jordan gripped the blanket tightly, weakly lying, "I want to go to the bathroom. I haven't washed up yet either."Westley released her.Jordan quickly escaped. She didn't know what she might do if she stayed another second.Westley lowered his head, glancing at her, then sighed deeply.This was a pyrrhic victory.Jordan stayed in the bathroom for a long time.She even took a shower.But after finishing, she suddenly remembered that her bath towel had been taken by Westley.Standing in the bathroom, she felt like she had no way out.And in her haste to come in, she hadn't grabbed a change of clothes.She had impulsively picked up the clothes that Westley had swapped out of and her clothes and tossed them into the laundry basket.Her clothes were now all wet.She could only silently fume.

    ‘I’ve already taken my pants off and you’re just going to leave it at that?’She thought this must have been intentional on Westley's part.She raised her leg and kicked him, then turned around, pulling the blanket away, her back clearly showing a trace of resentment.Westley didn't mind, pulling both her and the blanket into his arms.He chuckled softly in her ear."Your reaction right now makes me think you're dissatisfied."The deliberate pause was even more teasing.Jordan immediately elbowed him.But because she was tangled in the blanket, she couldn't put much strength into it.The muffled laugh of the man in her ear clearly mocked her, making her even angrier.Her emotions flared up too quickly, and tears started falling.Westley felt the wetness on his arm, it was hot.He quickly sat up.He knew about her tendency to lose control of her tears, but seeing her cry still made his heart ache.He gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eye with his thumb and whis

    "You can't possibly have nowhere to stay."Westley turned her around and found her eyes tightly closed.He laughed softly. "You used to try everything to see what’s in front of you right now, so what's wrong now?"Jordan had been influenced by dramas and novels back then.Because she was protected by the Howard family and watched over by Westley, there were no other men around her except for him.Even if there were, she couldn't see their abs.So at that time, she could only secretly look when he was training or at moments when he would take off his clothes.Leanne had also helped her a lot.When she was young, he saved her when she was hospitalized.He injured his shoulder, and he had to take off his clothes to apply medicine.During those days, she insisted on taking care of him and saw a lot.But all of this ended before she turned 18.It was like playing house, no one took it seriously.Later, she never had the chance to see Westley’s body again.Now, she couldn't loo

    Westley's eyes flashed with a deep, meaningful smile.He replied calmly, "How did I trick you? I'm just being very sincere. I was just asking about the things from before. I didn't mean anything. If you're overthinking, then... Are you feeling guilty?"Jordan retorted immediately, "I'm not guilty!"Then, she weakly explained, "I didn't do anything wrong. My confession was real, and the words I said to your mom were for you. Later, I didn't contact you because your attitude toward me wasn't good. I didn't dare to reach out. So, it's all your fault."Westley laughed. "Alright, it's all my fault."He released her and stood up, heading toward the bathroom.Jordan stood frozen, not knowing why the conversation ended so abruptly.They didn't really reach any conclusion.But that wasn't the point. She followed him to the bathroom door and knocked."Westley, are you taking a shower?"There was no response. She pressed her ear to the door and thought she could hear water running.Alt

    "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

    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
