Chapter 50

Author: Lean
With this little episode, I found myself distracted intermittently throughout the morning. It was as if there were an angel and a devil inside my head arguing.

One said, "See, he does care after all. He even remembered the day we first met."

The other countered, "But just recently, he forgot you were even from the Univeristy of Jelaston. How could he remember this date? Most likely, he asked someone like Tom. Don't fall into the trap of romanticizing!"

At noon, I shook off these complicated thoughts and invited Jane to have lunch at the canteen together. We used to order takeout or eat out frequently, but lately, I couldn't bear to walk an extra step and found the canteen's food to be fresher and cleaner, so I settled there.

As I approached the office area, someone had already packed my lunch. Suddenly catching a whiff of it made me feel nauseous, prompting me to rush to the toilet. After thoroughly emptying my stomach and enduring the bitter taste in my mouth, I leaned against the

    "That's even less likely."Unless one day he learned the truth about his mother's death, maybe his attitude towards Jessica would change slightly. But before that, things would be difficult.Speaking of which, I couldn't understand why Grandpa didn't tell Ryan. I would have to visit the Frost family's residence one day and ask.As we finished eating, I returned to the main topic. "By the way, Jane, did you manage to get tickets for the concert?"Jane had more connections within the company. When it came to finalizing the concert plans, I had to ask her to help me get tickets.Jane gestured to the ceiling and complained, "I don't know what's going on with the tickets this time. Only the President's office has them, and they only have one per person.""Only the President's office?""Yeah, if you really want them, why not take advantage of Ryan while he's wanting to please you? Ask him, he'll surely provide as many as you need.""I think I'll pass."It was better for me and Ryan

    Ryan was drugged.It was a drug that would make anyone feel aroused.With Ryan's decisive nature in the business world, when he came to his senses the next day, the other party would not have a good ending.However, now wasn't the time to think about those things.Looking at Ryan's face, which was unusually red. I was worried that he wouldn't survive tonight.When I was in a dilemma, the phone that I left in the bedroom rang loudly. Seeing the caller ID, I felt like I had found my savior, so I quickly answered the call."Babe, I got the tickets. Tom has some...""Jane!" I couldn't wait to interrupt. "Do you know what to do if someone's drugged?""What kind of drug?""What kind of drug?""Aphrodisiac..."I had trouble opening my mouth.Jane in all likelihood was drinking. She choked and coughed repeatedly. "Ahem, why are you suddenly asking such a question... cough cough cough, you...""No, no." I thought of the man on the sofa who was hot and couldn't care less anymore. "I

    But we were obviously going to be divorced.I wanted to push him but didn’t have the strength. I was so desperate that I wanted to cry. "Don t, Ryan, I don t want it!""Don't cry... do you really not want it?" His Adam’s apple bobbed. His eyes were red, looking deeply at me. I could see that he was trying to restrain himself."Yes...""Okay."He closed his eyes, veins popping on his forehead. His breathing was ragged as hell, but he slowly let go of me.I squeezed my palms lightly. "So, you...""Charlotte."He suddenly opened his eyes, his lust not only did not fade, but it became even worse. He pulled me into his arms, his lips pressed against my ear. "Help me, okay?"Perhaps it was because my brain was a bit chaotic, I actually felt he was begging me.My heart skipped a beat. "How, how can I help?"The words became a promise in the man's consciousness as he leaned down and scooped me up with his hands through the hollows of my knees.Suddenly suspended in the air, I subco

    I had completely forgotten about this matter.I didn't expect him to still remember.I wiped the water off my face with a soft towel. "It's okay, I'm fine."He frowned. "Weren't you feeling unwell last night?"I couldn't say that the doctor advised against sexual activities during the first three months of pregnancy.I could find an excuse for it. "I'm fine now."He didn't seem to believe me. "Really?"If I were to go, he would definitely take me to a private hospital owned by the Frost Group, using the VIP channel.No waiting in line and the medical reports would come out very quickly.But that way, I couldn't possibly hide the fact that I was pregnant."I don't want to go, I don't like going to hospitals." I avoided his gaze."Charlotte." Ryan squinted his eyes. "Are you hiding something from me?"Thud!His question was too sudden, I got nervous, and the skincare product in my hand fell onto the marble countertop. It made my heart skip a beat.My guilt was too obvious.

    His eyes were dark. "Can't it be for some other reason?""Such as?" I didn't deny the fact that I was testing him.He pursed his lips. "I just want you to be healthy.""Sounds just like a birthday wish for elders at home."A thought crossed my mind and I smiled instantly. "Save that for next month at Grandpa's birthday banquet."Wishing for my health.Wishing for a hundred years of harmony with Jessica?When the nurse came to draw blood, as she disinfected my arm, I instinctively recoiled, my body tensing up.I had been afraid of needles since I was little.When I had fallen ill as a child, Dad would hold me, Mom would hold my other hand, comforting me during injections or blood tests.There would even be rewards.In the years since then, my health has been decent. I could handle common colds, and even with severe ones, I could just make do with some normal medicine. I rarely needed to draw blood.But I was still afraid of needles.However, I had already grown up. I was sc

    In a daze, I thought of the past.Back then, Ryan and I had only been married for six months. My period was delayed by about 10 days. Even though he always used protection, I still faintly wondered if I might be pregnant each time. When I bought the pregnancy test kit, I was eager to share the news of being pregnant with him.Now that I really was pregnant, thinking about Ryan standing just a door away, I couldn't muster any excitement or joy. All I felt was fear and nervousness about what unexpected changes might come.The worst outcome would be losing this child.The mere two and a half years had turned everything upside down as if we were from different worlds now.My legs felt like lead as I walked to the door, my emotions complex, but I found no sign of Ryan outside! Where was he?All that remained was my handbag, left alone on the metal bench by the door.Had he left?I pulled out my phone from the bag, a message was on the screen."I have some urgent business. After the

    I wanted to give him a second chance for the child and for myself.Jane didn't try to dissuade me, she simply asked, "Have you thought about the consequences if it doesn't work out?""Yeah, I've thought about it."If things didn't go as expected, I would disappear completely to avoid any possibility of losing the child.With this decision made, I lost all desire to go home and cook. I casually ate a salad in the neighborhood and then retreated to the sofa at home.While waiting for Ryan to return, I immersed myself in work with my laptop.I waited until the afternoon, but there was still no sign of him at the door.Unable to resist, I sent Ryan a message. "Are you coming back soon?"I waited for a while but didn’t receive any replies.What urgent matter could keep him this busy? I hadn't heard from Jane that anything had gone wrong at the company.With autumn days growing shorter and nights longer, the sun began to set by five o'clock.The orange sunset poured in. Outside th

    I don't know how much time had passed before a nurse from the operating room came out calling names."Is Jessica's husband here?"Ryan walked up in big strides. "Doctor! I'm here."Those four words pierced my heart like daggers. The pain caused me to find it difficult to breathe.All the waiting throughout the day and the decision I had finally made became a joke at this moment.Standing there made me feel like I was a clown.We weren’t divorced just yet.My husband had already become someone else's husband.Not far away, he asked desperately, "How is she? Is it serious?""She lost a lot of blood, what do you think? But fortunately, you brought her to the hospital in time, she's fine now." After a short pause, the nurse added as if to reassure him, "The child is fine too."‘Child?’‘Jessica is pregnant?’‘They have a child now?’I couldn’t breathe and looked awkwardly at Ryan.He breathed a sigh of relief, his face finally softened a little. "That's good."Maybe my gaze

    Jordan was worried. "Jane, let's stay for two days before going back. You should rest.""It's fine, I know what I'm doing."Jordan didn't say anything more.After boarding the plane, she wanted to tell Jane about the man she met.However, Jane said she was tired and then fell asleep.So, Jordan could only wait until Jane woke up to talk.At that moment, the man sent her a message."Do you like peanut butter?"The question was a bit abrupt, but since he was the client, and her studio was still in its startup phase, she politely replied, "Sorry, I'm allergic to peanuts."The man didn't reply after that.Jordan didn't pay much attention to it, after all, they weren't very familiar with each other."Ms. Hickey."Jasmine sat down opposite her and, seeing Jane asleep, quietly shared with Jordan."Mr. Howard also wanted to get on the plane, but he was stopped by Mr. Collins.""And then they fought!"Jordan didn't move.First, because she couldn't solve anything even if she wen

    "It's to make sure that Jordan doesn't know, to keep their relationship ambiguous, which will stimulate Westley. That way, your cousin will get to know Westley fully."Jane was rendered speechless.Although Westley was a scheming person, Zachary's heart was no better.Jordan was woken up by Jasmine, they were about to land.Jordan turned her head left and right, relieved her neck, opened the sunshade, and could already see tall buildings.She had slept pretty well this time.As Jasmine adjusted her movements and safety measures, she made eye contact with the handsome guy in the front row.Her heart raced, and she grabbed Jordan's hand to steady herself."Ms. Hickey, he's really handsome."Jordan leaned by the window. Without Jasmine's good vantage point, she still noticed the man's gaze.It was directed at her side.She was sensitive because she had often used a camera to capture moments."He just asked me if we looked alike. Did he not say anything else?"Jasmine shook he

    Jasmine suddenly stood up.‘Why is Westley here?’Ross also stood up and blocked Westley.Jordan had bought an economy class ticket.A small aisle was now crowded.The flight attendants quickly came to mediate.Westley was in the VIP system, which everyone knew.But no one knew why he was in economy class this time."Mr. Howard, would you like me to handle this?"Westley gave a glance, and then Jax stepped forward to escort the flight attendants away, telling them not to come again.They couldn't intervene in Westley's matters, so they could only calm the other passengers, stopping them from filming to prevent a bad impression of Westley."Mr. Howard!"Jasmine had been quite dissatisfied with Westley recently, but because of his power, as a small assistant, she couldn't do much.But this time, she couldn't hold back."Ms. Hickey has already divorced you, you have no right to interfere in her life! Even if she dates eighty handsome guys, you can't control that!"Jordan wa

    "I have never sided with Westley. I have always stood by your side."Jane said, "Not trying anything is the same as supporting."Zachary suddenly remembered Westley's indifference to Jordan's life, watching coldly from the sidelines.It was indeed more hurtful than not caring or not knowing."You have a cousin..."He whispered a few words, "The paternity test on your side has come out, so he's gone to find Jordan.""I think Westley should have a good talk with him."Jane wasn't so optimistic. "If he doesn't even care about my biological sister, how could he be afraid of a cousin?""It's different," Zachary said. "Just wait and see.""But Jordan has already taken a flight back, right?"Jane suddenly noticed a flaw. "Where would the cousin find Jordan?""Anything could happen during such a long flight."Jane checked the time. Eight hours had already passed since Jordan had sent her the boarding message.It was nearly dawn here, while it should still be night where Jordan was

    Westley's expression darkened a little. "You go ahead and continue the shoot. I'll leave now."After saying that, he really left.But Jordan didn't feel much relief.In the end, she still expressed her apology and returned to the country with Ross.Jasmine remained silent.The silence made Jordan ask first, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"Jasmine shook her head.She had simply connected the events that had happened recently and the conversation between Jordan and Westley, and a complete picture emerged in her mind.So it turned out that Westley had done even worse things. No wonder Jordan just wanted to stay away from him, not even wanting to see him, even for just a moment."Ms. Hickey, you've worked hard."Jordan was stunned by her sudden hug.Her words were quite amusing."What's making you feel sentimental all of a sudden?"Jasmine didn't want to mention Westley and make Jordan unhappy.She shook her head and said, "Nothing. I was just thinking, I've summari

    "I wish I could turn back time, go back, and wake up the version of myself who would like you! I only liked you. Is that such a heinous thing? Why do I have to suffer so much for it? We're already divorced, yet it's still never-ending. Do you have to force me to die before you'll let me go?"Jordan was crying so hard she could barely catch her breath. Westley looked at her with pain in his eyes and raised his hand, wanting to wipe away her tears.But he was suddenly shoved hard by Ross.He wasn't prepared and staggered back several steps.After being steadied by the Jax, he looked over.There was a trace of anger in his expression.But when his gaze fell on Ross, he was clearly taken aback.Ross was actually more anxious than him, frantically pulling out tissues to give to Jordan."Don't cry, Ms. Hickey. If you keep this up, Mrs. Collins will punish me."He didn't want to go to the Arctic anymore."I'll help you leave. Don't cry, it's fine. Mr. Howard won't take you. Don't be

    Actually, Jane didn't need to say anything, Jordan wouldn't believe that Westley was sick either."I know, Jane, I'll head back right away."Jane couldn't be at ease and had already sent someone."Ross will help you leave. I'll send you his photo.""Alright, don't worry, Jane. I'll be fine."Jane was still uneasy. "Get back as soon as possible. Send me the flight details, and I'll meet you at the airport."Jordan didn't argue with her now, she was pregnant after all."Okay, Jane. I understand."After hanging up the phone, Jordan grabbed Jasmine's hand and walked.But she was stopped by Westley once again."Jordy, why won't you talk to me?"Jordan ignored him and kept walking forward.Westley grabbed her other hand."Jordy, what did I do wrong? Can you tell me? Should I go buy you some snacks now? Don't be angry."Jordan had tolerated enough from Westley.He just didn't love her, so she wanted to end this marriage, which never should have happened, in a dignified way.Hi

    "You're pregnant now, so take good care of yourself, and we'll talk after you have the baby. During this period, I promise I won't let Jordy be harmed. How does that sound?"Jane responded better to soft persuasion than hard.It seemed like everyone knew about this.However, based on these words from Leanne, she seemed to have caught a very important piece of information.She glanced outside, looking at Zachary.She remained silent for a few seconds before speaking."Leanne, do you really consider me a friend?""Of course.""Then let me ask you this. Is Westley really sick?"There was a brief pause. Jane already had a sense of what was going on.And Zachary also heard this. His gaze met Jane's at that moment.It was calm but carried the potential for a storm.She said to Leanne, "Leanne, I'm tired. We'll talk another time."Leanne opened her mouth, but Jane interrupted. "Zachary, I'm tired."Zachary asked Leanne to leave and immediately got into the car, instructing the d

    But they still hadn't figured out who their parents were.In this case, as Jordan's sister, she had the right to demand an explanation from them.Westley had kidnapped someone, which was definitely wrong."I won't speak for my son. If he's wrong, he's wrong. Jordy was like my own daughter, and when she's sad, I'm heartbroken too." Miranda sighed. "But we've already advised him. He's an adult, and we can't just lock him in the house. There are many things that need him to manage and handle for the Howard family."When it came to her own son, she could speak nicely, but the balance in her heart was still tilted.Jane didn't argue about this."If you, as parents, can't control your son and allow him to harm someone else's precious child, I don't mind sending him to prison. If it makes it to the trending news, don't blame me for embarrassing the Howard family."The three members of the Howard family simultaneously looked at Zachary.They saw him peeling an orange, cleaning off the
