Chapter 443

Author: Lean
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."

    In Jelaston, at a private club.Glasses clinked and the atmosphere was lively.The man sitting in the main seat wore a high-end suit, his expression on his flawless face was very neutral, showing no sign of joy or anger.But even without saying a word, his presence alone was enough to dominate the entire room.The man sitting to his right, Felix Langford, stood up with a glass of wine. "Mr. Frost, we are absolutely sincere about this project. Whatever conditions the RF Group has, we can agree to."Whether the project was profitable or not was not important.What mattered was connecting with the RF Group.In Jelaston now, who wouldn’t want to work with the RF Group?One would show their sincerity by starting with a project. The rest could come later.However, having said this, the man in the main seat didn't even raise his head.Clearly, such gestures of goodwill were nothing new to the RF Group.Ryan glanced at his watch, then stood up calmly. "Since there's nothing new, you

    He hoarsely said, "Let’s head home."The driver obediently headed towards Ryan’s house.Then came the three words from behind, "Go to Moon Lake Bay."The driver hesitated for a moment.He glanced at Ryan's expression in the rearview mirror, then turned the car around at the intersection.The rain continued to fall, pounding on the car body, but Ryan felt as if it was still pelting down on him.Bit by bit, it extinguished the inherent pride and nobility that was deeply ingrained in him.The car stopped in the courtyard of the Moon Lake Bay villa. Before the driver could open an umbrella, Ryan had already ignored the rain and stepped out of the car.Entering this villa again, entering the home he shared with Charlotte.He felt a disorienting sense of being lost in time.As if, just yesterday, after coming back from drinking at a social event, Charlotte would still be there, welcoming him the moment she heard the noise, helping him to the sofa.Carefully making him a hangover s

    Ryan rarely heard her use that kind of tone.When they were together, Charlotte was mostly calm and gentle.She was adept at work and organized in life.She rarely spoke with such a girlish tone.Ryan ended the call in a panic, his large hand slipping and the phone thudding softly onto the carpet.It revealed a hint of the owner's helplessness.Ryan had originally wanted to ask, to confirm what exactly her relationship with Frank was.But hearing her happy tone, he no longer had the courage to ask or confirm.He knew well that he dared not, and did not deserve to.Moreover, even if he asked, what would it change?She was so wonderful, deserving of anyone's affection.In the end, his sudden realization seemed somewhat trivial compared to Frank's unwavering devotion over the years.But fortunately, he still had plenty of time.Frank could wait.So could he.He thought, in a despicable way, that as long as they weren't married, he might have a chance to seize the opportunit

    On the other end of the line. "No, the other one.""The other one?"Felix wracked his brain but had no impression at all. However, knowing that he could only find out so much from his girlfriend, he didn't dwell on it for too long. "Alright, got it. Thanks, sweetheart. Love you."After a few more endearing words, he hung up and dialed his assistant."Find out immediately about the two founders of the Charlotte Jewelry. I need their profiles and photos."If he could help Ryan win back his ex-wife, he would likely become a distinguished guest of RF Group from then on.What was there to worry about?The next day, thinking about Frank going back to the Smith family that night, I felt a bit uneasy after finishing Yasmin's dress.Jane saw through it and said, "There's no point in being anxious, and do you think Frank would fall in the same place twice?""I'm just worried...""Worried about what?"Jane smiled, pulling me down onto the sofa, "Do you think, to Frank, you are more i

    Over the past couple of days, I had been periodically reviewing the events of that night. The juice was handed to me by a waiter. If the target wasn't me, the chances of it being handed to me would be very low. However, among everyone at the banquet, I only recognized a few people, Yasmin, Joanne, and Ryan. None of them were possible culprits. Yasmin's care for me was evident. Joanne was with her, so she definitely wouldn't have drugged me. As for Ryan, it was even more impossible.That left only Christine, someone with who had a grudge against me.Moreover, I could sense Christine's hostility to some extent. I just didn't know what her motive was.Upon hearing the question, Christine's expression froze, and then she looked at me with a confused face, "I drugged you? What kind of drug?"I smiled and countered, "You drugged me. Don't you know what kind of drug it was?"Actually, I wasn't sure if it was her. It was just a test.Christine was about to speak when Yasmin walked over

    "Graduated from a prestigious school, impressive resume," the assistant answered.But what he found was only Charlotte's domestic resume.Felix was dismissive. "What's a good resume going to do? The Frost family is wealthy and powerful. they don't need their wife's resume to make an impression."The assistant guessed, "Well... maybe Mr. Frost just prefers this type of woman?"Men have different tastes and preferences. Some like red roses, while others prefer gardenias.Felix took this in and, flipping through the documents, pondered, "So she's in Jeswood now?""Yes.""Let's go."Felix grabbed his car keys and was ready to leave in a hurry. The longer he delayed, the greater the chance the project would fall into someone else's hands. And he was determined to win it."Mr. Lennox..." The assistant hesitated. "We... we can't afford to offend them either."Felix paused for a moment. "What do you mean?"It was just the founder of the Charlotte Jewelry. Besides, he wasn't going to

    Although I had thought about it, I still felt uneasy. Would finding her really be the same as I imagined? She might have already started a family, had children, and be living a happy life. My appearance might just be a stone disturbing her stable life. Moreover, with the silver pendant lost two years ago, finding her would be even more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.Unexpectedly, Yasmin said, "I can help you, whether it's through public searches or private inquiries. It's up to you how you want to proceed."I was surprised. "Really?""Of course." Yasmin nodded, glanced at Christine, who was juicing in the kitchen, with a gentle and obviously maternal gaze. "If someone had been willing to help Christine in the past, perhaps I could have recognized her sooner.""You and Christine..." I hesitated slightly. "Were you separated before?"If that were the case...I had to wonder if Christine's true identity was really Yasmin's daughter. Two years ago, she had deceive

    Even if I said more, she might still choose not to believe me and doubt Christine, her "biological daughter".I placed the juice on the coffee table, picked up my bag, and said, "Ms. Jackson, sorry to disturb you today."After Christine left the living room, Yasmin suddenly relaxed. The hatred in her heart surged again. However, as she calmed down, she felt something was off. She picked up her phone and called Joanne."Joanne, see if you can find out if there were any grievances between Christine and Charlotte two years ago."‘From the way Charlotte acted earlier, it didn't seem like she just wanted to chat. It seemed more like a reminder of something.’"Sure!" said Joanne. She then asked curiously, "What's going on? Why the sudden need to look into this matter?""I'm not sure yet."Yasmin couldn't explain it and continued, "Also, find out when Charlotte's birthday is."She couldn't make sense of the connections at the moment. But her intuition told her to investigate.T

    ‘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

    Jordan spoke again as his car was about to drive into the underground car park. "The underground car park is very winding. Just drop me off in front of the building, make a U-turn, and you can leave."But Westley parked in the underground car park, at the parking space that was registered to her.Jordan unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car. Seeing that he got out too, she didn't think too much about it."Just drop me off here."Westley said calmly, "I'll send you upstairs and watch you go inside.""It's really safe here."Jordan couldn't argue with him. Though she said that, she still let him escort her upstairs.When she used her fingerprint to unlock the door, she said, "It's fine now.""I'll watch you go inside."Seeing his persistence, Jordan unlocked the door and entered.She planned to turn around and say goodbye, but she was suddenly pushed from behind.The sound of the door closing followed, and then she was hugged tightly from behind by the man.Only now d

    Jordan thought for a moment, and a line of reasoning gradually became clear."Are you saying Nathan really is my brother?""Not exactly," said Westley. "He's related to you, he's your cousin."Jordan wasn't too surprised. "I see."Westley smiled. "You're much calmer when things happen now, but it still shows on your face. You need more practice."Jordan couldn't hide her emotions. She didn't show too much excitement, but she was still happy."Does my sister know?""Yes."Jordan blinked. "So, you all kept this from me, and I was the last to find out?"Westley pulled her up and headed for the dining room."We can talk while eating, it'll be cold if we wait."Jordan felt a little frustrated. "I'm so dumb."Westley peeled shrimp for her and said, "Nathan wanted to keep it a secret, so it's normal you didn't know.""But you all knew.""I knew because of my personality. You know me, if a stranger appears in front of me or you, I'll do a background check on him. Your sister know

    He had someone redo the decoration, and there would always be someone there every day to do the cleaning.Today, he had originally planned to bring her back, cook for her, and had prepared all the ingredients.This wedding house, aside from the time when Jordan came to get the marriage certificate, she hadn't been here since—she went out to study and work.It was completely different from what she remembered.There were also many photos of them.From before the marriage, after the marriage, and even recently.Including the photos she had taken over the years—award-winning ones, those published in magazines, and those that made the trending searches."They're all here. You can look around. I'll call you when the food is ready."Jordan nodded and started to explore.She found a darkroom, which was specifically for developing photos.Inside, many photos hung on the walls.These were all from the three years she and Westley were ignoring each other. They were all of her life and

    She wanted to see how he would truly lower his head for her.She also wanted to see if he really liked her.But later, after seeing the golden sea of flowers, he really did a lot to help her take pictures of the sea of clouds.The pink dolphins and fish were considered a blessing.She also witnessed them with him.So, she felt that the matter of pursuing her no longer mattered.She just wanted life to be simpler.She was really tired.She wanted to be happy and carefree.But unexpectedly, now that she didn't care about the pursuit anymore, he started again.It seemed that he would never follow her wishes.That stubbornness of his was something he couldn't change.‘Forget it,’ thought Jordan.She really couldn't be bothered to argue about these things anymore."Let's go." Jordan nodded and sat in the car after he opened the door.Westley walked around the front of the car and sat in the driver's seat, leaning over to fasten her seatbelt.But Jordan fastened it herself.
