Chapter 435

Author: Lean
Before he could finish speaking, the office door was pushed open.

Paulina walked in with a dark face, glaring at him through gritted teeth!

Alan waited for a moment. Seeing that Frank still hadn't spoken, he said, "Frank, I'll hang up now. If you need anything, call me anytime. I'll send the relevant documents to your email right away."

Smack—

As soon as Alan hung up the phone, a powerful slap landed on his face!

Alan gasped, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb, and forced a smile. "As expected of a black belt. Even slaps are so forceful."

"Alan, you're so shameless!"

Paulina's eyes, hidden behind black-rimmed glasses, burned with anger as she glared at him. "How dare you tell Frank?"

"Because it was my people who found out," said Alan. "Because Frank gave me the life I have now. Paulina, whether it's you, me, or anyone else, none of us has the right to betray Frank."

Alan had never had any principles in his work. Over the years, he had committed many

    "Alana asked me to buy these." Frank, with his brown eyes fixed on me, said meaningfully, "She said that if I want to pursue you, I should always be ready to be living together and prepare these feminine hygiene products."I felt my ears flush with heat. "Who said anything about living with you? Besides, we're still just friends!""Alright, alright," He pulled me closer, brushing his lips against mine briefly, his lips glistening. "Friends who can kiss and hug, is that satisfactory?""Pervert!" Embarrassed and angry, I quickly pulled away and stood up.Frank grabbed my wrist and looked up at me. "Then what would you call our relationship?""I'm not going to say." I gave him a scolding look. "Since when does pursuing someone mean they have to be the one to make the first move?""What about my birthday present?"I felt that his mood seemed a bit off. Originally, I planned to find another chance to give him the gift, but I didn't want to wait any longer. "The gift... just wait a mo

    However, two years ago, I had never seen him smoke. Nor had I ever smelled smoke on him.It must have been be... really unbearable.The man’s kiss was gentle yet passionate. It felt like he was giving me everything he had.I seemed to have lost all my strength. I could only stand because of the his arm that was wrapped around my waist.Frank seemed to have sensed something. He slowly backed up as he kissed me. He parted my legs after sitting down on the sofa and told me to sit on him.His voice was hoarse, "Your period really knows how to pick its timing."My cheeks grew even hotter. "It comes at this time every month. It can't be helped.""It's okay." His gaze was deep, and his voice very low. "I'll wait. Charlotte, in these 20 years, the thing I'm best at is waiting."I threaded my fingers through his hair and gently kissed his brow, using the term of address I had always avoided in childhood. "Franky, thank you."He was taken aback, his eyes reflecting surprise and pleasure

    Just now, Frank made it clear over the phone, and Charlie understood it perfectly.The Frank was off the market!It was hard to know which beauty managed to make Frank let go of his true love and turn to her arms.But it didn’t matter.Ever since the events from two years ago, these brothers had been hoping Frank would move on and embrace a new life.Now, their goal had been achieved.Regardless of who this new girlfriend was, in their eyes, anyone who could win Frank's heart was no ordinary person!Charlie vowed to clear all obstacles for the Frank’s new girlfriend to prevent any misunderstandings between the new her and Frank because of this Charlotte.Upon hearing this, Jane was somewhat incredulous, even more excited than Charlie. "What did you say? He has a girlfriend?"Just half an hour ago, Charlotte had asked her to bring Danny over first, while Charlotte stayed alone with Frank at Region Gardens.Now, Charlie was telling her that Frank had a girlfriend.Who else cou

    Moreover, when he went to Frank's house yesterday, he didn't mention anything about getting back together with Charlotte.After sorting out his thoughts, Charlie shook his head firmly. "It's impossible. Zachary, you don't know Frank well enough..."Zachary was too lazy to respond.He knew Frank's mindset all too well.Someone who could wait for a person for over 20 years with no hope at all wouldn't easily change targets.Besides, Charlotte’s best friend, Jane, had come to Jeswood, so, Charlotte had probably come too.But when Frank heard Jane was in Jeswood yesterday, he didn't show the slightest surprise.What did that mean?It meant he already knew.It meant he was still steadfastly on the same path.It meant Charlie was in for some bad luck.Jane, finding Charlie's foolishness amusing, suggested, "How about we make a bet?"Charlie asked, "A bet on what?""A bet... on whether Frank's girlfriend is Charlotte.""Alright, let's bet on it..." Charlie started with a rhythmi

    After the dinner party, several more of Frank's friends arrived for the second half of the evening. And there was an unexpected guest.This was the first time I had seen Luke, the illegitimate son of the Smith family. He was dressed in a black suit and pushed open the door to the private room. Leaning against the door, his face, which bore a slight resemblance to Frank's, wore a sinister expression. He tapped his fingers on the door.Frank's expression remained unchanged, as if he was completely unaware of the person's presence. He casually played a card. "Four of spades.""Six of diamonds," said Zachary.“Looks like I win again,” said Frank with a satisfied look on his face."Damn, are you cheating or what?" exclaimed Charlie.The remaining two players were speechless.They were playing high stakes, and Frank ended up with a seven-figure win.Zachary chuckled. "Looks like your girlfriend is bringing you good luck.""Probably." Frank's modesty was contradicted by the smile i

    "Are you really going to pretend that the explosion in the lab has nothing to do with you?" Charlie's temper flared, and he made it clear, adding, "Don't think that the Smith family is really in your pocket. As an illegitimate child, what can you use to establish yourself in the Smith family?""At least right now, the person in the Smith family is me, not you, isn't it?" Luke smiled and looked at Frank. "Anyway, I've delivered the message from Dad. Whether or not you come back is your own business."As he turned to leave, he smirked again. "By the way, happy birthday. I didn't expect you'd still be here celebrating."With that, he left.Charlie was fuming. "What's that supposed to mean? Is he lamenting that Frank didn't die in the lab two years ago?""Enough, Charlie." Zachary's expression remained calm. "Why are you arguing with a dog?"Seeing that both Zachary and Frank were unaffected, Charlie also calmed down and turned to Frank. "Frank, was the explosion two years ago just t

    Suddenly, I felt incredibly soft inside.With my arms wrapped tightly around his waist, I let him take control.Probably considering that there were both an adult and a child in the bedroom, Frank didn't overstep. He kept things brief, his gaze deep, and asked, "Go to my place?"My cheeks heated up, and I shot him a glare. "Jane didn’t come to take care of your nephew.""Only this once."He didn’t feel embarrassed at all.But I still declined politely. "No, it's too soon to establish our relationship. You can't rush things.""I’m not going to eat you." His gaze was teasing, his voice clear. "Besides, I just wanted to cuddle with you. You're on your period, so I can't go all out...""Frank!"‘He’s so shameless!’He was saying everything out loud.I desperately covered his mouth but still couldn't stop him from saying that word. My face grew even hotter, and I felt my earlobes turn red as if they might bleed.He gently moved my hand away, holding it in his and squeezing it, r

    I lay in the hospital bed and nodded. "Yes, Frank."Initially, as I was searching for Frank, I had slowly come to accept the possibility that he might be dead. But lying in the hospital bed that time, I thought it through again.He definitely wasn't dead.That encounter on the street that day must have been some kind of divine guidance.After that, my condition improved rapidly, as if someone who was on the brink of death suddenly had hope for recovery.At that moment, Frank no longer had his usual nonchalant demeanor. His expression was serious. "No, Charlotte, you can't do this again...""Then you need to protect yourself."I wasn't afraid of his serious tone. I then said deliberately, "Frank, if you dare to get into trouble, I'll kill myself for you.""Are you threatening me?""Yes, I'm threatening you. Are you scared?""Yes." He was helpless against me, his eyes full of fear and affection. "I'm not afraid of anything except that something might happen to you.""Then prom

    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."

    Now that she had remarried him, this was also her home, and there was no need to tidy up anymore."Really?" Westley turned her around. "It'll be troublesome to go to another room and come back for something later.""What do you mean?" Jordan felt like she didn't understand his words today. "Just spill it already."Westley nodded seriously. "Okay, I'll spill it. We're married now. From now on, when we come back here, we'll sleep together. If you don't tidy up and pack your things, there won't be anything for you in my room."Jordan understood. She suddenly smiled and patted his shoulder. "Who said that after marriage, we have to sleep in the same bed? If there's nothing of mine in your room, I'll sleep in my own room. It's not like you only have one room."Westley laughed. "Okay, you're being naughty now."Jordan replied, "You become like the people you spend time with."She finished speaking and ran off.She went to the kitchen to see Miranda and offer to help.Miranda told he

    "What is there to prepare?" Westley sat down with Jordan. "They're not strangers."Miranda gave her a glare and handed Jordan some fruit. "Look at me, still wearing my pajamas...""Jordy, it's not that I don't care about you. It's just that Westley didn't say anything, and you two... we also didn't want to ask too much. Wait for me to change into something proper. What would you like to eat? I'll personally cook for you."Jordan quickly stopped her. "No need, we're so familiar with each other already, Mom."Miranda froze, then after a long pause, she grasped Jordan's hand, wiping her tears as she said, “Okay.”Jordan gave Westley a look, and he handed her a tissue.She wiped Miranda's tears. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you worry.""It's our fault," Miranda patted her hand. "We never thought that Westley would do that.""You two grew up together and had a great relationship. We always thought, when we're gone, he'll be able to love you and take care of you well on our beha

    Jordan asked him, "You finished so quickly?""Why does it sound like you're unhappy that I came over?""No, it's just that your meetings used to take quite a long time."Westley casually ruffled her hair.Jordan wasn't happy. "You messed up my hairstyle!"Westley chuckled softly. "You're just had your hair down. Is it even styled?""You don't understand.""Alright, I don't understand."Westley pulled her back to the bedroom.Jordan wasn't happy. When they were going upstairs, he carried her back to the room."Do you really like kids that much?"Jordan put her hands against him to stop him from getting any closer."What, can't I like kids now? Henry and Sparrow are so cute."Westley caught both her hands and pinned them down. "Then should we have one too?"Jordan struggled. "Who said I want to have one with you?""Then who do you want to have one with?"Jordan kicked him with her leg. "Get off me."Westley bent down and asked, "Afraid of the pain?""Yes." Jordan was pi

    Jordan didn't really know—she had only come here to escape.Now, there wasn't much left to escape from.If it weren't for wanting to spend a few more days with Jane and the others, she would have already been ready to go back to work.Westley saw that she had been thinking for a long time without speaking and asked, "So, are you coming with me to the theme park, or playing with those two kids?"Jordan almost forgot—there were two adorable children here."Then I'll play with the kids.""What, still think I'm too old?"Jordan gave him a playful glare. "Stop bringing that up all the time. Don't think you can keep me trapped with that topic."Westley asked, "Then why not come to the theme park with me?""Weren't you the one who gave me the choice?"Jordan gave a soft snort. "If you only want one answer, then next time give me just one option.""Alright." Westley looked at her with eyes full of affection. "Whatever you say goes.""I've got a meeting—you go play with the kids."

    It felt very unreal.It felt like she was dreaming."Will you marry me?""Huh?"Jordan was completely dazed, thinking she would hear him say a lot of touching words.But in the end, all she heard were just those simple words."Are you... talking?"Westley nodded. "Yes. Will you marry me?"For a moment, Jordan truly wanted to throw the flowers at his face.But then she remembered her conversation with Charlotte.And she felt that Charlotte had a point.They were already married, yet Westley still wanted to give her a sense of ceremony.Even if he didn't say any romantic lines, she wouldn't be able to refuse his proposal now.With that thought in mind, she reached out her hand."I will!"Westley slipped the ring onto her finger, stood up, and hugged her.Jordan heard him whisper softly in her ear. "I'm really nervous. It's my first time doing something like this, so I don’t know what to say—I was afraid I'd cry. Give me a little grace. Whatever you want to hear, I'll say

    "Okay."Jordan started to feel something was off. "Charlotte, I remember you didn't like the smell of cigarettes. Didn't Frank stop smoking after being with you?"Charlotte responded calmly, "Not really. If I didn't like the smell of cigarettes, I wouldn't have gotten along with Jane for so many years. She was already smoking when I first met her. Also, Frank didn't stop smoking just because he was with me. It was only later, when I was pregnant and feeling unwell, that he stayed by my side and simply forgot about it. Men have a lot of work pressure too. If he smokes now and out of my sight, I think I should try to understand that. That's what being a couple means."Jordan was persuaded. "Yeah, I guess you’re right. There should be mutual understanding. I do act a bit spoiled sometimes."Charlotte said, "When I talk about understanding, I don't mean compromise. If there's something you really can't accept, it still needs to be discussed between the two of you."Jordan was confused

    "Wow."Jane and Charlotte stood at the doorway, watching with great interest.It was quite the appetizing show.Zachary and Frank, on the other hand, weren't interested, and headed to the yard to set up the grill.Frank chatted casually with him. "He's been proving himself for two days now—why do you keep poking at his age? He even made you bleed."Zachary said, "I did it for the greater good. Look at them now, kissing like they can't bear to part."Frank cocked his brows and said nothing in response.Jordan overheard Jane and Charlotte's voices.Her face turned completely red from embarrassment.She couldn't push Westley away, so she had no choice but to bite him.When he relaxed his grip, she took the chance to run.She didn't even dare glance at Jane and Charlotte at the door.Back in her room, she buried herself under the blanket.So embarrassing.Downstairs, Jane and Charlotte, satisfied with the show, headed to the yard.Westley, meanwhile, went upstairs.Sure eno

    'What was that?'Jordan truly had nothing in her head but confusion.She had just been teased by Jane outside.She thought that since she hadn't come downstairs in the past couple of days, everyone already knew—Westley was... not impotent.Why was Frank saying things like that now?"Frank, what are you talking about?""Nothing."Frank left the kitchen and sat next to Charlotte.After Jane finished tending to Zachary's wound, she even fed him some food.The man held his wife in his arms and asked in a low voice, "All your friends are bringing their husbands food. Why aren't you doing the same?"Charlotte smiled. "That's because Jane took a bite and didn't like it. She thought it would be wasteful, so she gave it to Zachary."Frank played with her hand and asked, "Is there nothing you don't like to eat?""Nope."In the kitchen—Jordan sensed that Westley was upset. She reached out and hugged him, asking, "Did Zachary and the others tease you?"Westley finished handling wha
