Chapter 481

Author: Lean
"That's it?" asked Alana.

"That's it," replied Alex.

Alex looked at her. "What about your young boyfriend?"

Alana had a young mixed-race boyfriend in her social circle. He was different from the person she had been seeing just half a month ago.

"If you don't leave, how’s going to show up?" said Alana.

Alex asked calmly, "Where did you find this actor?"

Alana was puzzled. "Actor?"

"Not an actor? Are you really changing boyfriends every two weeks? Alana, you don't do that."

Knock knock—

A lively young man opened the door from outside. Seeing the situation inside, he hesitated, knocked on the door, looked at Alana with a flirtatious smile, and said in fluent Engrian, "Alana, are we playing a game that involves three people today?"

Alex's face darkened!

The speed of his mood change was comparable to the weather.

Alana glanced at Alex. "What do you think, Mr. Jackson?"

"Stop fooling around!" Alex's expression darkened further as he directly opened her suitcase and stuffed cloth

    "You wouldn't understand even if I told you.""Try me.""Chasing after the one you love." Alana gave him a sidelong glance and muttered quietly, "You've never truly liked anyone, so how could you understand?"Alex's expression suddenly darkened, and he seemed momentarily lost in thought. "Who told you I've never loved anyone?""Who?" Alana smiled, her tone flirtatious and teasing. "Me?"That day, I got up holding the drowsy Danny and took him into the bathroom to brush his teeth.Julie was already in the kitchen making breakfast, and the sweet aroma of oat porridge filled the air."Charlotte!"Jane suddenly burst out of the guest room, frantically searching for me with her phone in hand. She stood at the bathroom door, jumping up and down with excitement. "We're famous again, completely famous!"I looked at her dark circles from a hangover and handed the toothpaste-squeezed toothbrush to Danny. "What?""The Charlotte Jewelry!" Jane handed me her phone. "Look! Last night, Yasm

    On the other end of the line, Yasmin's voice was warm with a hint of a smile. "Charlotte, thank you so much. The dress you designed was fantastic. As soon as the awards ceremony ended last night, a top luxury brand contacted Joanne to sign her as their global ambassador."Hearing this, I was even more delighted. "Really? That's wonderful!"For celebrities, especially someone at Yasmin's level, there was no need to take on ordinary endorsements. They should go for top luxury brands. However, it was rare for Cherian celebrities to be chosen by such brands, so even being an ambassador is something to boast about among fans. Let alone being a global ambassador.Though for Yasmin, this might just be an extra bit of good fortune rather than a significant achievement."It's true." Yasmin smiled slightly, her tone easing. She asked, "Once the contract is successfully signed, there will be a celebration party. May I invite you to attend?"For some reason, I detected a hint of caution in he

    The relationship between Charlotte and her seems pretty much settled...Of course, we would still go through the formalities, conduct the paternity test, and confirm the blood relationship thoroughly.During breakfast, Jane suddenly suggested that we consider opening a branch office in Jeswood. She had mentioned this to me before, but there hadn't been a pressing need for it. Jelaston was sufficient for the operations of the Charlotte Jewelry, so I thought it might be better to wait."Now that both the Charlotte Jewelry and you are completely popular, the company's scale is definitely insufficient."Jane, while sipping her porridge, analyzed clearly, "Our first offline store is in Jeswood. Once you return to the Shaw family, your focus will definitely be here. So, opening a branch office in Jeswood would be highly beneficial for both you and the Charlotte Jewelry."Without hesitation, I agreed, "I know."Yasmin had given us a boost. The financial data received earlier showed that

    Perhaps it was because life had been unusually smooth recently.When he mentioned Ryan, I was momentarily dazed, feeling as if it were a distant memory. These days, the Charlotte who was mired in pain and struggle seemed like a different person.Frank pinched my cheek. "What are you daydreaming about?""Nothing." I shook my head, unable to pinpoint my exact feelings, and followed his lead, asking, "What does this matter have anything to do with Ryan?"I was somewhat aware of Ryan's influence spreading into Jeswood. His help to Frank was beyond my expectations, but it seemed somewhat anticipated.He had never been a truly bad person. In fact, he could be considered a good person—good boss, good grandson, good adopted son, good half-brother... but he was not a good husband.Only I was left hurt in a world where everything seemed to fall into place.After finishing his meal, Frank acted casually but with clear signs of his upbringing. He took a napkin and said frankly, "It's a bit

    Then, Frank casually stood up, finished his soy milk in one gulp, and set the cup down. "In that case, Ms. Wilson, you must keep this retreat option open for me. If I can't make it, I'll come back to rely on you.""Uncle!"The little one, who was sipping milk from a bottle, looked at him with a hint of resentment, pouting. "Don't you have to go to work today?"Frank's tender expression faded, and he shot a sideways glance at the child. "Little brat, you're complaining already?"The child huffed lightly. "When you're here, Aunt is monopolized by you!"Frank was driven away by the child.After sending Frank into the elevator, the little one climbed onto me using hands and feet, and planted a kiss on my face. "Aunt, who do you like more, me or Uncle?"I chuckled. "Of course, it’s you."‘But I love your uncle,’ I added inwardly.As night fell, at the top-tier club in Jelaston.Located in a quiet area amidst the hustle and bustle, the club operated on a membership basis, with a si

    "Diana..." Ryan tugged at his thin lips, dragging out the name as if he were savoring the words.Diana dared not look directly at the man's pitch-black eyes, fearing she might give herself away. She only heard Ryan laugh coldly and ask sharply, "Who sent you?"Ryan could guess that someone who had had dealings with him and had ulterior motives was behind her.To cater to his preferences, naturally, there was no such thing as a free lunch.Diana was taken aback by how astutely the man saw through her. Her face turned pale as she took a deep breath and recited the lines she had prepared."No one sent me. I'm just here for a part-time job...""Miss West." Ryan, with his long legs crossed, took a drag from his cigarette, his chin lowered, with a cold and hard line to his jaw, his voice deep and menacing. "Since you're here, you must know who I am. I can find out anything that the person behind you can find out. Anything he can give you, I can give you. In other words, I'm known for m

    Felix believed his words were well-reasoned and justified, but the next second, he saw Ryan nod dismissively. "You have a point."Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, Ryan's expression darkened as he extinguished the cigarette butt. "I'll break one of your legs for this, and then we'll consider it over."Felix suddenly clung to Ryan's leg, pleading desperately. "Mr. Frost, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have been so blinded. Please spare me..."The leg injury he had sustained last time in Jeswood had not fully healed, and now he was about to lose another leg!Realizing that pleading with Ryan was futile, he turned to Ian for help. "Ian, Ian! Help me, I'm begging you...""Serves you right."Ian didn't wait for Ryan to explode but ordered his subordinates to forcibly drag Felix away.Diana, pale-faced, felt the stark division of social classes in the world!Felix could easily manipulate her.But in front of Ryan, he was treated like a dog.With such a commotion, Ryan lost interest.

    Jeswood International Airport.Alana strode out of the airport in red high heels, bending down to get into the Rolls-Royce that had been waiting outside.As she moved, the long skirt fluttered, revealing a slender, fair calf.Alex's eyes darkened slightly as he thought about how that leg had been wrapped around his waist when he was with her the morning before.After leaving the airport motorway, the car drove straight towards the city center.Alana was in a good mood and hummed a tune softly.Just like in her own car."Hello?"Beside her, Alex suddenly took a phone call, his expression serious yet slightly excited. "Is the information accurate?""Okay, I understand! She's living in the Cloud now, right? Send me the address on WhatsApp."After hanging up, Alana glanced at him. "So excited, did your second uncle pass away?"Alex's second uncle had been causing trouble and setting traps for him, even kidnapping Danny.The thought of Danny's injuries at that time made Alana gr

    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
