Chapter 33

Author: Lean
The MS Group was one of the top luxury brands in the clothing industry. It was the company that most designers wanted to go work for.

Jack smiled. "That's right. I just got an offer."

"It's more like you've just accepted the offer." Tom wasn't allowing Jack to lay low. "Before he came back to the country, the MS Group had been in contact with him. He had only just made up his mind recently."

Not just Nancy, even I began to admire Jack. I said with a smile, "Looks like the University of Jelaston will soon put you on the front page of the university newspaper, Jack. You made them proud."

Speaking of the university newspaper, Ryan would be on the front page most of the time. He had long graduated, but still, a lot of students still looked up to him.

I felt that maybe he was supposed to be a star in the sky and I shouldn't have tried to keep him for myself.

"So you're deliberately celebrating Jack's enrollment into the MS Group?" asked Jane.

"That's right." Tom nodded. "Let's eat. W

    I was a little taken aback by his words.Jack was even more attentive than I had thought.At the barbecue restaurant, the smell of some of the meat made me feel nauseous, but I managed to force myself not to throw up.I hadn't expected him to notice.I smiled faintly. "A little. But it's no big deal.""That's good, health comes first." Jack then said meaningfully, "Always remember to take care of yourself no matter what.""Okay." His words made me feel warm.But later I realized what his words meant.The car slowly entered the underground garage of the Lake Garden. Jack helped me out of the car, and I couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't right. I looked around but couldn't find anything out of the ordinary.As we were walking, a Maybach zoomed past. The driver seemed to be full of rage.I was startled by the sudden situation. I then subconsciously covered my belly as I took a step back. If it weren't for Jack holding me steady, I would have fallen.After making s

    "Who?" I asked, feeling puzzled.He sneered. "Jack."I was rendered speechlessI frowned, genuinely unsure what he was thinking. "Ryan, are you here trying to get proof that I'm cheating on you?"It would be truly unreasonable if he was.His eyes darkened, his lips pressed thin, and he quietly uttered the words, "No, I'm not.""Then why are you here?"Ryan didn't answer. His long eyelashes cast shadows on his cheeks, exuding a desolate aura.The night breeze blew, sending chills down my back. I then said helplessly, "If you're not going to say anything, I'm going to close the door."He then said after a long pause, "I've missed you."My heart skipped a beat.I was completely gobsmacked.He had said many flirtatious things to me before, mostly teasing, never heartfelt.A lot of the time, I had hoped he would say something from the bottom of his heart.When we were in bed, I would wrap my arms around his neck and say, "I love you. I've missed you."But all I got was in ret

    The air seemed to have froze and my heart began to race.It was as if I still looked forward to get an explanation from him.After a moment of silence, Ryan asked in a cold voice, "Do you really want a divorce that badly?"The mixture of feelings in my heart caused me to find it difficult to breathe. I raised my head and looked at the blinding lights in the living room and blinked. I was on the edge of having a mental breakdown, but I still said ruthlessly, "Yes, that badly."I wanted to cut ties with him at least before my belly began to show.There was no way that I was going to gamble with a child in my womb.Behind me, the man remained silent. The sound of the door closing was his response.It felt as though all strength had been drained from me as I slowly slid down the shoe cabinet, staring blankly at the ceiling.In an instant, my heart felt empty and began to ache.That night, my pregnancy hadn't been able to affect my sleep at all. I lay in bed and couldn't fall aslee

    "Is that it?""That's it."I cocked my brows "You don't like him at all?""Maybe a little" Jane answered. She then smiled mockingly. "But that doesn't mean anything. My mom said that she married my dad because they loved each other.""Even so, they would still aim for each other's heads when they got into a fight. How could there possibly be feelings that would last forever in this world?"I knew she didn't believe in love. She didn't even believe in love from parents or relatives.When her father failed in doing business, he began drinking, gambling, and assaulting his wife and daughter.Her mother disappeared without a trace, leaving her to grow up with that unreliable father of hers. This caused her to be frequently beaten by her father.I was afraid she would be upset, so I changed the subject and asked with a smile, "Then why have you been so good to me all these years?"Jane rolled her eyes. "Who was the one crying on the rooftop in the dead of winter, and begged me not

    Her words almost caused me to explode with anger.Ryan had spoiled her so much that she had no shame whatsoever.I curved my lips into a sneer and said, "Are you a member of the Frost family? Last time I remember, your dad had to beg Grandpa to allow you to have Frost as your surname. I don’t think you’re accepted into the Frost family since Grandpa hasn’t given the word yet. According to you, then I have more reason to say that this car belongs to me, because I am Ryan's lawfully wedded wife."I spoke deliberately, watching her expression change bit by bit, and a sense of satisfaction surged within me.Jessica gritted her teeth. "The two of you are getting divorced soon!""But we’re not divorced just yet, are we? As long as we're still married, I have more right to claim ownership of this car than you." I smirked."You have no shame!" She was furious as she glared at me fiercely. "If you’re going to divorce him then do it already! Why the hell are you still married to Ryan then?

    I was rendered speechless.He was indeed good at putting the blame on others.I wanted to laugh but the pain on my face prevented me from doing so. "Did you even give me a chance to explain things just now?"Ryan would always become desperate about anything that was related to Jessica."Charlotte...""Alright, your 'sister' is still waiting for you in your car."I didn't want to say anything more to him, so I cut him off and got back into my car.As I closed the door, he grabbed the door handle. "Cover up the mark on your face, don't let Grandpa find out about what happened. Otherwise, he'll definitely..."Each word felt like a dagger to the heart. The pain was excruciating.I didn't have the courage to continue listening, so I slammed the door to prevent myself from hearing any more of what he was saying.Tears welled up in my eyes, I turned my face away hastily, so that he couldn't see the state of me.It was me who had been hit, yet he was worried about Jessica getting in

    I smiled and found a seat, picking up the teacup the servant had just brought, and took a sip.The tea was fresh and the fragrance filled the air. It tasted soft and sweet.I smiled. "Grandpa always thinks of us whenever there's something good.""No wonder the old man favors you. You have such a sweet mouth!" Aunt Chloe chuckled.I smiled faintly and didn't say anything else.After chatting for a while, Albert came to invite everyone to the dining table.The seats for the family banquet had been arranged in advance.Grandpa sat in the main seat, with Uncle Luke, Aunt Chloe, and their daughter sitting respectively to his right.On the left were Ryan who had taken over the Frost family, myself, my father-in-law, and Jessica.Everyone's status in the family was clear at one glance.There was nothing Jessica could do even if she wasn't happy with the arrangement.She could make things difficult for me in other places, but at the Frost family's residence, she wouldn't dare do any

    "Okay."I sat down beside him and met Grandpa's sharp and clear gaze. It was making me feel increasingly uneasy.In the spacious study, there was only Grandpa, me, and Albert, who was making tea at the side.As expected, Grandpa knew everything. "Are you still going to get divorced?"I didn't know what to say. I felt completely hopeless.There was no use hiding my pregnancy anymore. "Yes... How did you know?"Grandpa sighed, but he wasn't angry about being deceived. "You're independent and stubborn. You might make it seem that you don't really care about him, but have you ever taken your eyes off him before? Today was different, you didn't even give him a glance."There was a hint of regret in Grandpa's voice.After hearing those words, I choked and was at a loss for words.Yes, one couldn't hide one's feelings for someone, even if one cover one's mouth, their feelings could be seen through their eyes.Even Grandpa could see my feelings clearly, but Ryan still thought I liked

    Buck's unchanging poker face was stunned. "Wasn't it benign?""Well, someone has a death wish."That was true.Buck was about to say something when he heard Westley calling him. He quickly walked into the ward.He didn't need to listen, he knew it was something about Jordan."Go after her immediately. Keep a close watch on her and report back to me in real-time."Buck had been by Westley's side all these years.He thought he would be asked to arrange for someone trustworthy to keep an eye on her.But it turned out that it Westley was sending him."Sir, I can send Silas.""You go." Westley massaged his temples. "Silas still has his own matters to deal with.""Then what about Jax...""You go." Westley's eyes grew cold. "Do I need to repeat myself?""But what about you...""Do you think I’ll die in the Greyson family's hospital?"Well, that was not possible.The Greyson family's security was only slightly inferior to the Howard family's.But Buck had never left Westley's

    "Mr. Howard’s illness is quite serious this time, but it wasn’t because he caught a cold from bringing you to the hospital today. It’s because he’s already been in poor health recently. It’s just a coincidence that the cold worsened his condition. Considering the past relationship, please stay and keep him company. Your fever hasn't subsided, and it's a good opportunity to rest in the hospital for a few days."Jordan remained silent. At that moment, her phone rang.She thought it was the driver calling, but when she picked up, it was Oliver."Oliver.""Have you finished what you’re doing?" Oliver's gentle voice sounded on the other end of the line. "There's work here. Once you're done, come over. It’s fine if you’re not done yet. It's not an animal shoot. If you can't spare the time, I'll contact someone else."Jordan quickly replied, "I'll fly over right now.""Mrs. Howard, you're still running a fever." Buck spoke up, earning an angry glare from Jordan."Jordy, are you running

    Jordan's face turned red with anger, and she yelled, "You're sneaky and cunning. You’re just a scumbag!"Westley bent down to pick up the door handle and handed it to her."How did a perfectly fine door break in your hands? Instead of cursing, shouldn't you reflect on yourself?"Suddenly, Jordan wasn't angry anymore.In fact, she even laughed.Because she was truly speechless."Westley, you're making me feel that having feelings for you back then was the stupidest thing I’ve ever done. I was really stupid, actually feeling sad and upset for someone like you, who is full of lies and has a scheming heart. You don't deserve it. Westley, you... don't... deserve it."Westley hadn't expected this outcome.It had been a good opportunity, and he really wanted to sit down and have a proper conversation with her.But what happened last night was beyond his expectations.He hadn't predicted today's situation either."I didn't mean it like that... let me explain..."Jordan interrupted

    She wasn't used to calling someone for every little thing."It's fine, I just need a sip of water.""You have a 39-degree fever, so please rest more. If the fever doesn't go down, it could turn into pneumonia, like Mr. Howard."Cough cough...Jordan choked on the water. She vaguely remembered that outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, Westley had walked toward her and seemed to have picked her up.But there were so many people around him. Could he really get soaked in the rain?How did she get this high fever?It couldn't be that she fainted, and just by him picking her up, he caught the illness, right?Westley met her confused gaze and began to explain, "You were soaked through. I carried you all the way to the hospital, and I got wet too."‘So?’"I was so focused on getting you treated, I forgot about myself. I thought I was fine, but it turns out I'm worse off than you."Jordan knew that Westley rarely fell ill.She had envied his constitution when they were kids. Unlike her

    Jane happily sent the couple into the elevator.She returned home and picked up the clothes that were scattered on the floor.As she was about to pick up a piece, a fine hand took it from her.She was helped to sit down on the sofa.Jane found it amusing. "Didn't my check-up results show no issues? It's just hanging clothes, it's not like I can't do it."She felt like she was disabled being taken care of like this by Zachary."And you, you've taken over the family business now, aren't you busy? Stop circling around me all day."Zachary hung the clothes on the hanger and placed them in the study first.Hearing her words, his lips pressed down slightly."Are you getting tired of me?"‘No wonder he’s good friends with Frank,’ thought Jane.Jane had just heard Charlotte complain that every time she did something, even if she was away for a short while, Frank would make it seem as if she was getting tired of him."Staring at the same person all the time, it's bound to happen."

    Due to Westley's special permission, their news was all over Nelana recently.Jordan was caught in the rain, Westley carried her to the hospital, and they even took a dramatic photo, which has been going viral all over the internet these past few days."With the beginning and end cut out, the clueless audience has been going crazy over this."Westley controlled the message he wanted to send out to the public.As for why Jordan was standing in the rain at the Civil Affairs Bureau, no one would know.To the public, they were the picture-perfect wealthy couple with a great relationship."My connections are getting better,"Dominic joked. "I found out it's nothing serious, just an acute cold from getting soaked in the rain. She's at the Greyson family's hospital, and even Carter, a big shot, was called to check on her. There’s definitely nothing to worry about."Jane let out a sigh of relief. "That's good, please keep an eye on her for me.""Don't worry. Just take care of yourself,"

    Westley looked at Jordan on the hospital bed, her lips pale, and didn't say anything.His gaze was deep, and it was unclear what he was thinking.Leanne, seeing his hair still dripping wet, went to grab a towel to help him dry it.Westley raised his hand to push her away.Leanne laughed. "So what, you're planning to stay here be sick with her?"Westley remained silent.Leanne was used to it.As the eldest son of the Howard family, bearing a heavy responsibility, he had matured earlier than other kids his age. His thoughts were so deep that they were impossible to fathom.When he was in a good mood, he would talk a little more.When he was in a bad mood, he couldn't even spare a glance."Westley, the one at fault here is you. Forgive me for speaking frankly, but the way you're handling this will only make Jordan more frustrated and push her even further away from you. You know best yourself—everyone who lied would be punished severely by you. You've deceived Jordan again and a

    "Tell Westley that if I don't see him at the Civil Affairs Bureau today, I'll file for divorce. If his work gets affected or he gets embarrassed because of it, he'd better not blame me."Buck's phone was on speaker, so there was no need to relay the message—Westley heard everything clearly.Caught in the middle, Buck felt like a sandwich. Not an enviable position."Mrs. Howard, you must be very busy. Don't waste time waiting outside the Civil Affairs Bureau. Once Mr. Howard finishes his work, he'll contact you.""Contact my ass!" Jordan swore, her frustration spilling over. "That scumbag is full of tricks! Let's see how long you can hide for! I'll wait until five o'clock when the Civil Affairs Bureau closes. If I don't see you, get ready for me to file for divorce!"Beep beep beep!She hung up the phone.Buck hesitated before carefully speaking. "Sir, Mrs. Howard seems to know you were listening.""Yeah."Westley's lips curved into a faint smile. "She's gotten smarter."Buck

    "They've gone through so much and still haven't reconciled!"The captain didn't even open his eyes and said, "Go run 10km."Jordan thought she wouldn't be able to sleep after everything that happened.But in the end, she drifted off in a daze.In her hazy state, it seemed as if something brushed against the corner of her eye, wiping away her tears.The next morning, when she woke up, the room was completely empty, leaving only her.She immediately went out to look for Westley.There was no sign of Buck, who was always by his side.She grabbed someone nearby and asked, "Where's Westley?"The subordinate replied, "Mr. Howard left last night. I'm not sure about his specific itinerary. Please understand, Mrs. Howard."Westley's schedule was always kept confidential.It was only known when he actually appeared at an event.The only one who might know was Buck.But she couldn't get in touch with him either.Just as she was about to call Westley, another call came in.Seeing th
