Chapter 593

Author: Lean
Because I was absolutely certain that this man cared more about me than I do myself, that was enough.

Jane was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled. "You're really a hopeless romantic. But Frank is indeed worth it."

She said this while refilling my glass with juice, and reminded me, "However, the design of the wedding dress should definitely be prioritized. After all, it's such an important occasion, it needs careful consideration."

"Alright, I'll do as you say." I pretended to concede. Unexpectedly, with her fiery temperament, she immediately began discussing the design of the dress after finishing the meal.

She was more anxious than the bride herself, afraid that I might regret something at the wedding.

That night, my mom called to say she had to attend a film festival in the next few days and wouldn't be able to visit me.

"It's fine, Mom. Jane is here, and with Julie cooking at home and Frank's people around, I'm well taken care of."

Yasmin felt reassured and ended the ca

    That night, kidnapping Grandma was highly risky. Kevin originally planned to poison Ben overnight, take the Shaw family's assets, and then leave that night with Simone and Bethany. With Luke's help in buying time, their escape could have gone smoothly. However, upon learning that Grandma had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, Kevin felt it was an act of god. So, he let his guard down. But this lapse gave Frank an opportunity.Kevin steeled himself and said coldly, "I don't have a wife or children."They were in a neighboring city the ship would soon reach the border. Frank's influence was limited to Jeswood.Kevin waved his hand and ordered, "Set sail."The ship began to leave."Frank…"Frank's subordinates were anxious!If the ship left Jeswood, finding them again would be difficult.But Frank remained impassive and made no move. He was too late, Kevin was already on the ship. Taking the ship by force now would only cause more harm than good. It wasn't necessary.Since Kevin

    I smiled. "We still don't know the gender yet.""This is my hopeful wish. Of course, I would also cherish a godson," said Jane."Alright, go to sleep." She covered me with the blanket.I had been so tired, staying awake just to accompany Grandma. I fell asleep almost as soon as I closed my eyes. I had a dreamless night and slept very well.The next morning, I woke up hungry and vaguely smelled something delicious."Does it smell good?"Focusing my eyes, I saw Jane waving a tuna sandwich in front of me.I chuckled helplessly. "You're so childish."Jane took it as a compliment. "I am childish."She set up a small table and arranged the breakfast neatly."Where's Grandma?"I got up to check on Grandma and wash up, but the bed was empty."Grandma got up early. She didn't wake you because you were sleeping so soundly. After breakfast, she went to see Ben."I nodded and went to the bathroom.Jane followed, saying, "I wonder if Ben will be a good son after he wakes up this time.

    Prof. Kilburn nodded. "Something like that."Immediately, my heart sank."Charlotte." I suddenly heard my mother's voice. I turned and saw her walking towards me, giving me a warm hug. "I missed you so much.""Mom!" I sighed in relief, feeling somewhat steadied. But before I could explain the situation to her, the door behind us suddenly opened.And then, I watched in disbelief as Ben grabbed my mother in a hug.He was grinning foolishly and called out, "Honey!"Me, Jane, and my mom were all gobsmacked.There was a brief silence, and then my mom let out a scream that nearly brought the whole hospital down.Fortunately, Ben was weak, and she managed to pull away with little effort."What the hell is going on?"My mom shuddered, continuously brushing herself off as if she had touched something filthy.Ben looked at Grandma with a hurt expression. "Mom, why?"My mom was at a lost for words.Grandma obviously hadn't fully accepted the situation either, but she knew what she wa

    After I finished speaking, I realized something. "Did you already know about this?"Frank nodded.I couldn't help but mutter, "Then why were you pretending you didn’t?""How was I supposed to know you were calling to tell me this? I thought you just missed me," said Frank.I snorted but said, "I did miss you. Frank, it's just better when you're here."I bit my lip. "When will you be back?""Soon, just a day or two." Frank reassured me. "You don't need to worry about Ben. Grandma will definitely make sure he doesn't trouble you.""But what if Grandma wants to take him back to the Shaw family?""Then let her do that," Frank answered firmly. "That's beyond your control. Given Ben's condition, Grandma will be worried if she doesn’t take him back home.""But Grandma doesn't want to see you upset or add to your troubles. In the end, she'll choose to return to the Shaw family and take care of Ben herself."I pursed my lips. "Do you think there are any better neurologists?""You can

    Jane accompanied me as we took Grandma and Ben back to the Shaw family's old residence.Ben was in a daze and was very clingy to Grandma. He would occasionally glance at me and smile foolishly but didn't say anything. He would call me "Sweetie" from time to time, and when he saw my mom, he called her "honey." My mom managed to suppress her urge to roll her eyes thanks to years of practiced composure.He also didn't ask for Simone or Bethany, and he never mentioned their names."Madam Shaw, you're back."As we brought Grandma into the old residence, someone came to greet us. She appeared to be a bit younger than Grandma but was clearly from the same generation. Taking care of Grandma would be no problem, but Ben was another matter...I suggested, "Grandma, let me find someone else to help you out, to share the burden."The Shaw family's residence used to have many servants, each with their own duties. Now, due to whatever trouble Simone caused, not a single servant could be seen

    Across the ocean.Alan received a phone call and hurried to report to Frank. Frank was about to pick up his phone and dial my number when he saw Alan and frowned slightly."You'd better have something very important.""It's very important." Alan was sweating. "The place where Jack was kept has exploded."Frank cocked his brows. "Exploded?"Alan didn't was very nervous and said honestly, "The explosion was quite big, turning the area into ruins and has affected the surroundings. I need to go back and handle the relevant matters."Frank leaned back in his chair, and something flickered in his brown eyes. He tapped his fingers on the table twice."Even if it's in ruins, you still need to confirm whether he's really dead.""Yes."Alan hurriedly turned to leave, but just as he reached the door, he heard Frank's typically casual yet chilling voice from behind."Find out the details, and then you know what to do."Alan didn't dare to argue. He had previously assured Frank that ther

    Jane was enjoying herself on the dance floor. Feeling her bracelet vibrate, she was about to check who was calling when she was suddenly pulled out of the dance area by an unseen force. She stumbled her way into a private room and managed to steady herself.Looking up, she saw a familiar yet cold face.Before she could say anything, her bracelet vibrated again. Seeing that it was Charlotte calling, she immediately answered, "Why are you calling me repeatedly? Is something wrong?""Can you get in touch with Zachary? I can't reach Frank."“Oh, what a coincidence...” Zachary was right in front of her. Jane raised her hand. "Did you hear that, Mr. Collins?"At the sound of her voice, Zachary took out his phone and made a call.Jane then thought of something and asked, "Have you made contact with Alan?""No."Hearing this response, Jane felt a bit more alert. Alan's phone was supposed to be on 24/7. She had always thought he was like a droid, a never-stopping one. Now, there was act

    There was a moment of silence. I was even more certain of my guess, sniffing as I said, "If you keep hiding this from me, I'm going to worry." Frank felt a headache. If he talked about it, she would worry. If he didn't, she would worry even more. Thinking of this, he imagined his cold gaze, like a knife, piercing through the clumsy Alan on the other end. Alan also felt wronged, but there was nothing he could do. After bandaging his wound, he silently stepped back to stand aside. Frank glanced at the wound on his abdomen, pinched the bridge of his nose, and said, "The negotiations didn't go very smoothly, but you don't need to worry. I'm fine." I kept waiting for him to say something. In that minute-long silence, I was sure something had happened to him. And now, I couldn't fly over there to check on him. Otherwise, he'd be distracted worrying about me. "Can you just be honest with me? Otherwise, how can I not worry?" Frank let out a light laugh and s

    The fireworks were dazzling and brilliant.Westley looked up in a certain direction.At the moment the fireworks bloomed, a figure appeared in the window of that place.Jordan couldn’t sleep because of Westley’s injury.As she tossed and turned in bed, a sudden bright light appeared in front of the window.She walked over to the window, opened it, and saw the fireworks bursting in the night sky.There seemed to be a few figures on the beach.But Westley was tall enough that she could spot him at a glance.At that moment, she forgot to watch the fireworks.It was only when Westley raised his hand and pointed upward that she looked up.She realized that the fireworks formed a few words.“I’m sorry, Jordan.”“Happy birthday.”Jordan had originally planned to spend her birthday with Nathan and Jane.But when she was brought over by Westley, she completely forgot about her birthday.She glanced at the time, and it was exactly midnight.Her birthday had begun.The night sky

    Jordan had eaten and drunk enough and was about to return to her room.Westley called out to her."Wait a moment."Jordan ignored him and kept on walking.But Westley grabbed her arms and she was pulled back.She lost her balance and fell into the man's arms.As she fell, she instinctively reached out to support herself.She felt something change under her hand.Jordan jumped up as if she had been burned.She forgot there was a grill nearby, and as she was about to fall into it, she was pulled away by a force.She only heard a series of cracking sounds, and she landed on something soft but firm.When she looked closely, it was Westley's chest. She was in his arms, and his tall frame was completely shielding her.Before she could react, Buck and the others arrived.The area was crowded."Quick, put out the fire!""Call a doctor. Don’t move Mr. Howard. Help Mrs. Howard up."Jordan was stunned as she was pulled up.It was then that she saw the scene on the ground.The gr

    Frank took the soup from her hands and drank it in a few gulps.Then he pulled her into his arms and kissed her passionately.It had been several days since they had been close like this.The heat built up quickly.By the time Charlotte reacted, she was already lying on the bed.She covered his mouth and gently pushed him away a little."Let's finish talking about the important things.""This is the important thing," Frank said as he moved her hand away and pressed it on top of her head. He bent down and started unbuttoning her blouse."Frank..."Charlotte's voice was broken by his actions.After several days of separation, his movements were obviously more intense.She couldn't hold back, and the corners of her eyes filled with tears, as the wave of emotions overwhelmed her...Zachary set the food on the dining table and went to the bedroom to carry Jane out.But Jane wanted to walk by herself, and Zachary helped her sit down.Jane picked up her cutlery and started eatin

    "Mr. Jackson, what are you talking about? Westley isn’t a fool. Since he managed to take Jordan from your turf in Impelia, it shows he was well-prepared. This preparation probably started a long time ago, and once he found out you were Jordan's cousin, he just sped up the process."Nathan caught the key point. "So, you and Zachary both guessed that Westley would take Jordan and make all the necessary preparations, but you didn’t say a word?"Frank leaned against the doorframe lazily and said, "I don’t know, I’m not close to Westley. As for Zachary, I’m not sure either. Recently, he’s been too busy with his wife and hasn’t been drinking with me anymore."Nathan didn’t believe him, but didn’t say much.Westley taking Jordan from him was his fault.When he was younger, he couldn’t protect his cousin from being taken away.Now, even with power in his hands, he still couldn’t do anything.He had to ask others for help."You keep searching abroad, I’ll assist you domestically."

    On the small table beside them, there were several bottles cluttered around.There were no labels on them.Jordan was cautious and didn’t drink immediately. She picked up a bottle, sniffed it to make sure there was no alcohol smell before inserting the straw and sipping slowly.Westley lit a cigarette, biting it at the corner of his mouth. He flipped the lamb skewers over and sprinkled them with cumin.Watching her unnecessary actions, he laughed. "It doesn’t really matter if you’re drunk or not. On my turf, if I want to do something, do you think you can resist?"Jordan paused.She suddenly remembered that the bet wasn’t clearly defined.“Westley, you said that if I’m moved, but before I’m moved, you can’t do anything out of line. You’re clear about that, right?”Westley handed her the grilled lamb skewer and flicked the ash off his cigarette.He glanced at her and said deliberately, "Wrong."Jordan took a big bite of the lamb skewer.She couldn’t help but exclaim, "So deli

    Jordan finished her meal and was taken away by Westley.They took a helicopter and then transferred to a ship.In the end, she had no idea where they were.The journey was bumpy, and after days and nights, she was physically and mentally exhausted.Yet, she refused to say a word to Westley.She buried herself under the blankets.Everything she could say or do, she had already done.Now, she could only pray for heaven to open its eyes and make Westley a decent person, letting her go back."How about a bet?"Westley pulled the blanket off, helping her sit up."There are still some days before Jane gives birth.""We’ll forget our grudges for now. If, during this time, you can develop feelings for me, then you’ll lose, and we’ll remarry. If you don’t fall for me, I’ll let you go back."Jordan's mind was racing.She felt like Westley wouldn’t let her go so easily.But there was no flaw in his words.For her, it still seemed to give her an advantage.After all, she only felt

    Jane said lightly, “Do you think Westley would let you find him easily?”“No, but if we keep chasing him, we will eventually find him.” Zachary brought the food to her. “Eat something.”Jane refused his feeding, took the plate and ate by herself.Zachary then placed some more food in front of her.Jane said, “You don’t need to take care of me. I can eat by myself. You should eat too.”Those words made Zachary feel a sense of relief.It seemed she wasn’t angry, nor was she blaming him.“This matter was indeed my oversight. I thought that since Jordan was with your cousin in Impelia, Westley wouldn’t be able to reach her. But I never expected that he would be so bold and take Jordan away directly.”Jane understood. “You want me to put the blame on my cousin, right?”Zachary replied without changing his expression, “How could that be? This matter is entirely my responsibility.”Jane didn’t say anything, only remarking, “When I give birth, I want to see Jordan.”Zachary reassure

    Westley handed her the phone.“Tell him yourself.”Jordan was surprised the moment she took the phone, but then she realized something didn’t feel right.He gave it to her so easily...She snapped, “You did this on purpose!”Westley didn’t deny it.Jordan didn’t care much about that anymore and immediately dialed Zachary’s number.When Zachary saw the caller ID, his right eyelid twitched violently.Frank glanced at him. “Why aren’t you answering?”Zachary sighed in frustration. “Stop watching the show, you answer it.”Frank raised his hands. “My wife and your wife are on the same page.”Frank’s position was the same as Zachary’s. He didn’t dare answer the phone either.He pursed his lips as he didn’t have the right to criticize Frank.This phone felt like something that neither of them wanted to have anything to do with.In the end, Zachary still answered it.“Westley, you only have one chance...”“It’s me, Zachary.”Zachary thought something was terribly wrong. “Give

    Westley was indeed cunning, but when Zachary said he couldn’t guess Westley’s plan, that was purely pretending to be ignorant.Even he knew that intercepting a plane wouldn’t work.Since Nathan was pursuing so closely, if Westley wanted to take someone away, he must have prepared multiple plans.For example, parachuting mid-way.But he was enjoying watching the drama and didn’t expose it.“I do have some responsibility in this matter.” Nathan was always someone who took responsibility for his actions. “But the responsibility of not saving Jordan falls on you.”Zachary felt like his head was going to explode.He could roughly guess where Westley had parachuted.But that place had many landing spots, and it wasn’t something that could be found in just a day or two.Moreover, since Westley dared to take Jordan away from Nathan, he must have made detailed plans.Knowing they were searching, he would definitely change locations.This was a tug-of-war.It was hard to explain to J
