Chapter 36

Author: Lean
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

    "It's exactly what you see in front of you." Grandpa's voice carried a trace of sorrow and regret. "It's our fault. It's the Frost family's fault for Wendy's tragedy. It's my fault that I've not been able to properly discipline my own son."My late mother-in-law had a beautiful name, Wendy Lawson. After hearing Grandpa's words, I was completely dumbstruck. It turned out, my mother-in-law didn't die from hard labor. She was pushed down the stairs when she was in her final weeks of pregnancy.The person who pushed her was none other than Ryan's stepmother, who treated him as her own, and ironically ended up in a coma in an attempt to save him. My mind was in turmoil. How could she treat Ryan so well and yet be the one who killed his biological mother? It didn't make sense at all.Before I could sort everything out in my head, Grandpa continued, "I don't understand why she could be so good to Ryan.""It's all..." Grandpa sneered. "It's all about personal interests.""After Ryan's

    Now that Grandpa had asked me for a favor, I had no reason to turn him down. Ryan and I were already separated, and a divorce certificate would only make our division clearer. There was no rush for us to get a divorce agreement.Moreover, Grandpa's 80th birthday was just a month away. There wasn’t much time left at all.Later, Albert escorted me out of the study."Mr. William did this because he's worried that you and Mr. Frost will regret your decisions in the future. He wants you both to think things through a little longer."I pursed my lips and was about to speak when my phone rang.It was an unknown landline."Hello, is this a relative of Jane?""Yes.""This is Jelaston Police Station. Please come over as soon as possible."Before I could ask anything, they hung up.With no time to spare, I hurried downstairs. As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw Jessica fuming with anger."You've gone over the line!" she exclaimed, moving to slap me, but I stopped her.

    In public, Ryan maintained his usual aloof demeanor.The black trench coat added to his domineering aura.As he approached step by step, I suddenly felt uneasy.This matter could be big or small.Small, it could be settled with money. But big...With Ryan's power in Jelaston, it would be as easy as flipping a hand to make Jane go to jail.And undoubtedly, he would protect Jessica.As expected, he stood beside Jessica. His eyes were slightly lowered, lips lightly parted. "How do you want to deal with this?"I clenched my fists and before Jessica could speak, Jane pulled me behind her."I'll take full responsibility. This has nothing to do with Charlotte.""Jane!"I was anxious, but Jane glanced at me, and said disdainfully, "How are you going to deal with this? Beg your ex-husband publicly for my sake or beg the mistress who’s wrecking your marriage?"Before she finished, the atmosphere in the room became even more tense.Jessica sneered. "Who are you calling a mistress? Ac

    Jordan only glanced indifferently for less than five seconds before continuing with the shoot.Jasmine also saw Westley, but her impression of him was just average now.Although she liked forced love in games or novels, in reality, it was truly terrifying.There were still scars on Jordan's wrist that hadn't completely faded.Yesterday, she had heard from Jane about what Westley had done, which made her even angrier.Being handsome, rich, and powerful—did that make him so special?Well... it did...Jordan had no idea what Jasmine was thinking. She only saw her standing there, kicking at the ground, muttering something under her breath.She looked quite upset.Jordan found it amusing.She wasn't even angry herself."Jasmine, come hold the reflector."Jasmine came back to her senses and hurried over.Not far away, Connie had been observing Westley's expression closely.He was trying to analyze his emotions.He even took out a notepad and started jotting things down.Roy s

    "I think yesterday's time spent in nature was effective."Connie didn't care whether Roy responded or not and began making arrangements on his own.Roy followed them to a church.Unfortunately, a film was being shot there, and the place was surrounded.Not only that, but there were also a lot of fans.Amid their screams, he heard a familiar name—Michael.‘Damn.’He looked closely and saw that the banners the fans were holding had Michael's photo on them.This was truly a case of enemies crossing paths."I really didn't expect there to be a film shoot happening here."Connie said regretfully, "But this is the most famous church around."Roy didn't understand how coming to a church would help with treatment.The only thing he could do was find a way to get Connie to bring Westley inside."Mr. Howard, I'll handle it."Westley gave a slight nod.Roy went to negotiate.He quickly returned and led Westley and Connie inside.He couldn't help but ask, "Dr. Connie, why insist o

    When Jordan landed, she received a message from Yasmin.Yasmin informed her that someone had been arranged to pick her up and sent her the contact details.She was instructed to reach out after leaving the airport and head straight to the film site."Okay."After replying, Jordan called the contact.Following the directions given, she quickly found the person."Ms. Hickey."The man opened the car door and introduced himself, "I'm Mr. Hall's assistant. Just call me Lewis."Jordan found the name somewhat familiar.Meanwhile, Jasmine grabbed her arm excitedly."It's Michael Hall! I'm a huge fan of his! He's one of the men in that game I play! They modeled one of the characters after his face—he's so handsome!"Jordan had heard of Michael Hall before.Because of Jane, there had once been some gossip about him.But work was work—nothing personal.However, the content of this shoot would be displayed on a large screen later.She wasn't sure if it would be shown in Jeswood, but

    "Besides, I didn't even download that game."She hadn't even seen clearly what it was.Zachary rested his chin on her shoulder, his nose brushing against her neck as he took in her scent.His deep, attractive voice carried a hint of grievance. "I feel like you've been upset with me lately, acting cold and distant. And now, seeing how you wanted to look at other men today, I suppose you're tired of me, huh? You were even reminiscing about the past. So, I robbed you of the chance to enjoy being surrounded by admirers, is that it? Honey, am I not good enough for you? You're actually thinking about other men?""Huh?" Jane was so amused she laughed. "Maybe you should go get your brain checked at the hospital."Zachary hummed in agreement. "I probably should. If they scan it, I'm sure it'll just be filled with your name—completely love-struck."Jane burst out laughing. She turned her head and kissed his thin lips.Zachary took the opportunity to deepen the kiss.The driver silently r

    Jane asked Jasmine, "How do you play this game? I want to try it too.""They say that looking at handsome men more often will result in having handsome children. That way, my son will be worthy of becoming Charlotte's son-in-law."Jasmine loved sharing this kind of fun with others, but Jordan secretly poked her.Jordan knew the tempers of Zachary and Frank.Even if it was just men in an otome game, her sister and Charlotte couldn't look at them too much.Since Jasmine was her assistant, she had to protect her."You can play this game by yourself. My sister doesn't need it. My brother-in-law is so handsome, and my sister is so beautiful. Their children will definitely be better looking than these game models."Jordan had already hinted crazily, blinking so much that her eyes were about to wear out."Oh my!" Jordan exaggerated her actions. "My eyes feel so uncomfortable today."Jane and Charlotte exchanged glances and burst into laughter.Jane turned to Charlotte and said, "Isn

    It was nothing more than him giving Jane an explanation by sending Westley abroad.And Westley knew that he had been too harsh with Jordan this time, so he went to reflect on what he had done.After landing, Charlotte came to pick them up.Jasmine blended in quickly, and the four girls immediately made plans to have a meal together.Frank and Zachary walked behind. The former's steps were lazy.Frank asked Zachary, "Did Carter ask you for help?"Zachary asked in return, "Did he ask you as well?"Frank clicked his tongue. "Last time, my wife made clothes for Mrs. Scholfield, and she really liked them. She has a very good relationship with the eldest daughter-in-law of the Hilton family.""You could say, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Hilton family is Mrs. Scholfield's little fan. She listens to and supports whatever Mrs. Scholfield says.""Since it didn't work on you, she's trying to make moves through me."Zachary's voice remained steady. "I advise you not to get involved.

    "What the f..."Jane held back the urge to curse.In the end, she didn’t say anything.Because whatever she said would certainly not sound nice.She had to consider the baby’s well-being.Jordan noticed that Jane was upset and didn’t continue the topic.Zachary had expected this and held her gently, soothing her."So, I’m not helping him. What he did was wrong? I’m well-behaved, aren’t I?"Jane sighed softly. "When I ignored you before, didn’t you also forcefully pursue me?""It’s different." Zachary rubbed against her neck. "I knew you had feelings for me."Jane pushed him. "Get off, I’m trying to be angry here."Zachary eased up a little but still held onto her."Don’t be upset. What do you want to eat? I’ll go buy it for you.""I’m not eating."Jane wasn’t in the mood to eat.She wouldn’t let someone else’s issues cause a conflict between her and Zachary.But she just felt uneasy."Jane, here’s some candy for you."Jordan reached over from the front seat. "You told

    "I only know this much."Jane handed the snacks to Jordan again.Zachary chuckled softly. "You really love gossip.""Of course."Seeing her admit it directly, with such a proud look, Zachary’s smile softened with affection.Jordan felt like she should have been under the car."Go ahead," Jane urged her.Jordan continued, "Once he knew Mandy wasn't his biological sister, Carter's feelings became obvious, but Mandy couldn’t accept it. Plus, Mandy Greyson was always targeting her, and Carter protected her fiercely. For her, he didn’t even care about his biological sister.""Mandy Morris didn’t want to cause a rift between the siblings because of her, and she really had monopolized Mandy Greyson’s good days for over a decade. When Mandy Greyson finally managed to escape the mountains and had suffered a lot. Therefore, Mandy Morris left the Greyson family."Jane didn’t understand.

    "Do you mean, give up?"Zachary replied indifferently, "Shouldn't I give up?"Carter rarely managed to pull a smile, but it was extremely cold."Advising others to give up, then why did you... not give up on her?"Zachary followed Carter's gaze and looked into the car.Jane was sitting upright, but clearly eavesdropping.With a smile in his eyes, he looked at her, but his words were aimed at Carter."I’m different from you guys, she loves me."Jane shot him a glare.Zachary didn't waste more time and bent down to get into the car.The car drove out of the hospital's underground car park.Jane looked through the rearview mirror and noticed that Carter was still standing in the same spot.All this time, her impression of Carter was that he was cold, ruthless, and quiet.He didn't seem like a doctor, but his medical skills were impressive, healing one patient after another.But at this moment, all she saw in him was desolation.She asked Zachary, "Is Carter’s love life this
