Chapter 62

Author: Lean
Perhaps the person I was waiting for would never come.

The girl was clever, smiling brightly as she asked, "Are you waiting for someone, Miss?"

"Yes."

"Your friend must be stuck in traffic, it's really jammed around the stadium right now."

Maybe sensing my disappointment, she walked over with a comforting smile, tilting her head slightly. "I'll wait with you."

"Aren't you going in?"

"I didn't get a ticket."

She shrugged, her mouth turning down in disappointment and helplessness.

I chuckled lightly. "Then stay with me."

He wasn't going to come. I wasn't waiting for him to come.

I was waiting for me to be totally disappointed.

Another whole hour passed, until the crowd in the square thinned out and people gradually dispersed. My hand holding the phone was almost numb from the cold.

The announcement came over the broadcast that entry was about to close.

"Charlotte."

A warm voice suddenly sounded from behind.

I turned around in pleasant surprise, seeing Jack in the same brow

    "It's okay, I won't make fun of you." I patted his shoulder and changed the subject with a smile. "So you like Eason as well, but you never mentioned it before."Jack looked towards the stage, his voice tinged with melancholy. "It's natural to love something because of association.""She liked him?""Yeah, she was really into him back in university.""What a coincidence."I smiled. "I used to love listening to Eason's songs back in university too."He smiled knowingly. "Quite a coincidence."We were in VIP seats, with a perfect view of the performance, and no blind spots anywhere. With the familiar intro, the singer appeared on stage, instantly lifting the atmosphere in the entire arena, and causing countless fans to scream and sing along. Jack and I were like two outliers, quietly listening.Scenes from the past years flashed through my mind like a movie playing, frame after frame.Ten years agoI didn't know youYou didn't belong to meWe were still the sameKeeping compan

    "What do you mean by that?"I was like a typical gossip girl who tried to get to the bottom of things. But then I felt that asking further would be impolite, so I could only leave it at that.The songs performed at today's concert were all on my favorite playlist. Even after the whole show, I still felt unsatisfied.As the singer left the stage, I had a surreal feeling of awakening from a big dream. I sat dumbfounded in my chair, watching the slowly departing crowd after the noise.The emptiness in my heart was terrifying. Until now, the phone I had been clutching in my hand still hadn't received any messages or calls from Ryan.During my absent-minded lapse, Jack was very respectful and didn't rush me at all. He just quietly waited by my side. It was only when I came to my senses that we followed the crowd and left together.Despite the security guards maintaining order and the crowded pushing, I was walking fine when suddenly a force pushed me from behind. I stumbled and almost

    As the interior lights of the car came on, Ryan woke up almost instantly. His demeanor was tinged with annoyance from being disturbed. The next second, he turned his head and our eyes met."Is the concert over?" His expression suddenly softened, acting as if nothing had happened.As if him spending two days and nights with Jessica was just my imagination.I didn't want to pretend anymore. I was tired. "Ryan, I was there at the hospital yesterday. Ryan, I was probably standing about 10 meters away from you at that time, or maybe even closer.""I saw with my own eyes how my husband was so distracted by another woman.""I also heard you admitting in front of the nurse that you were her husband.""So when you called me yesterday, I already knew you were lying to me."I pulled the corner of my mouth and stared at him, speaking deliberately and slowly, "Oh, by the way, she's pregnant. You two are having a child, right?"With each word I said, his face became darker and darker!But t

    Ryan squinted his eyes slightly, casually looking at me, lips curved. "Wanna try?"It was the same smile as usual, but I felt a chill run down my spine.It seemed like if I dared, he would snap my neck the next second."Let's give it a try."I followed the principle of not backing down.His face turned cold as frost, a sneer forming, ready to explode, when suddenly, his phone rang loudly.Jessica’s name immediately flashed through my mind.I couldn't help but marvel at how accurate a woman's sixth sense could be.It really was Jessica.Ryan furrowed his brows. He didn't pick up, and the ringtone continued to sound.If he wanted to decline the call, he had a hundred ways to do so.So obviously, he didn't want to."Ryan, where have you been? Why haven't you come back yet? The baby in my womb wants strawberry cake. Hurry up and get it for me!"The car's cramped space completely isolated us from the outside noise, and Jessica's gentle and charming voice rang clearly in my ears

    "Gary, drive! Take her home," he said, then closed the car door straightaway.Gary promptly got into the car. "Mrs. Frost, my apologies."The doors were then locked.I could only watch helplessly as Ryan walked a short distance away and got into a bodyguard's car.Both cars started almost simultaneously but headed in completely different directions at the traffic light intersection.It was as if Ryan and I were never meant to walk side by side.I felt drained of all strength, slumping weakly into the seat, my mind in turmoil.Why did I bother?Wouldn’t it be better for him if I let them be?‘Ryan, what exactly do you want?’ I wondered.Gary drove, observing my expression cautiously before cautiously speaking up. "Mrs. Frost, you don't need to argue with Mr. Frost like this. After all, you are Mrs. Frost. You shouldn't worry too much about Jessica.""Gary." I rolled down the window, letting the cold wind rush in, and pursed my lips. "Do you also think that just because I have

    I couldn't help but laugh.Ryan was going to take responsibility for her.What did she want from me?She should be going to Ryan.Jessica touched her belly. "You need to finalize your divorce quickly, or it'll delay getting my child registered.""Then you should go tell Ryan to hurry up."The company's headquarters had constant temperature-controlled air conditioning throughout the year. I took off my coat, hung it up, and picked up a spray bottle to water the row of plants in front of the French windows.Since Ryan refused to draw clear boundaries, I wasn't in a hurry either.I could just let Jessica make a fuss.Jessica sneered coldly. "Don't play this game of pretending to be indifferent while clinging to Ryan. I can actually understand you. Being an orphan, with no parents, grabbing onto the Frost family tree that ensures your comfort, you don't want to let go. It's human nature. But Charlotte, as a woman, you know when to feel shameful."She crossed her arms whilst laugh

    I kindly pointed her in the right direction. "If you hope your child isn't illegitimate, go find Ryan and ask him to hurry up with the divorce, understood? Don't make a scene here. If you end up having a miscarriage, you'll lose one more bargaining chip to marry into the Frost family. See her out."Finally, I instructed her assistant.Jessica was furious and probably thought I had a point, so she just left.And the direction I pointed her in worked quite effectively.As for how I knew, in the afternoon, I received a call from Ryan."What did you say to her?" he asked as soon as I answered the call.I paused and said, "I didn't say much, just that she urged me to divorce you and I told her to talk to you."His tone became colder. "You didn't tell her to go die?"Was she trying to exaggerate things?I wasn't surprised that Jessica would do this. Softening my voice, I said, "I only said that because I was provoked. She called me a prostitute pretending to be virtuous, a disaster

    When we returned home after finishing the IV, it was already dark outside. Worried that she wouldn't take care of herself for the next couple of days, I decided to stay at her place.The next day, during breakfast, Jane glanced at me several times furtively. I chuckled. "What's up?""Well, it's just... it's just..." Jane hesitated, then brought herself together. "The night Ryan took the aphrodisiac, your phone suddenly died. I didn't get a chance to ask you about it later."I didn't understand. "Ask me about what?"She smiled and leaned in, asking, "Did you guys do it? With that drug, is it really long-lasting and powerful?"I was having cereals and choked instantly. Although I already knew she had an outspoken personality, she still caught me off guard.I coughed several times, pretending to be calm. "No, we didn't do anything."She handed me a few pieces of tissues, looking skeptical. "Really?""Of course not. I'm still in the first three months of pregnancy. How could we?"

    Caleb was thinking that in the future, he could let her drink a little more.Of course, only when he was around.She looked kind of cute like this."I did say that, but didn't you just say you wanted to thank me?"Whitney felt that alcohol really wasn't a good thing.Even when hanging out with Jane and the others, she decided not to drink too much anymore.The rationality and logic that she was so proud of had completely vanished.She had never been as calm in front of Caleb as she was with others.Besides, there was a power imbalance between her and him.If she were sober, she wouldn't have been able to reject him anyway.Let alone now, when her mind was muddled.But maybe because she was muddled, she dared to say things that she didn’t usually dare to say."I just lost my balance earlier, and you helped me. Even if you don't accept verbal gratitude, that doesn't mean I owe you something this big."Caleb saw she could barely stand, so he held her by the waist to keep her

    "But your reaction just now didn’t seem like you knew I was here."Jane tried to pull her leg back, but when she couldn't, she slapped him in frustration."It was called acting, understand? I didn't want you to look embarrassed, so I got those two out of the way first."Zachary rubbed her ankle with his thumb, as if he believed her. "Then should I be thanking you—for being so considerate?"Jane couldn't be bothered to argue. "Let go. I want to drink.""I'll drink with you."Meanwhile, Frank held Charlotte close and asked in a low voice, "Did she really know we were here?"Charlotte nodded. "What do you think? You really think Jane would mess around during her marriage? She might be bold, but she has boundaries. But you guys really are annoying."Frank hooked her chin with his thumb. "I knew it. You're being cold to me because you're sick of me. I've said it so many times, and you still wouldn't admit it."After saying that, he picked her up and walked out of the bar.He hadn'

    Charlotte nudged him with her elbow, warning him not to stir things up.Jordan truly didn't dare to stay any longer. "Westley, take me home.""Okay." Westley finally got up. "You all take your time. If it gets too late, don't go back to the old house—just find a place to crash.""But..." Jordan suddenly felt like leaving wasn't such a good idea. "Maybe I'll stay and play a bit more."Westley simply dragged her out."Jane and Zachary...""You can't control what they do, so why bother worrying over nothing?"Jordan was settled into the passenger seat, her seatbelt fastened firmly.She didn't resist, mostly because she felt what Westley said made sense.Jane was way more capable than she was. This kind of minor drama would be easy for her to handle.Plus, with the smart and composed Charlotte around—It was better if she didn't add to the chaos.Once Westley got into the driver's seat, she asked, "Why did you guys show up? Especially you—didn't you say no seeing each other a w

    But it was just a polite gesture—if they had been singing inside, they wouldn't have heard her anyway.So after knocking, she pushed the door open and went in.Charlotte and the others followed to take a look.When they saw the scene inside, they gasped.The four men from home were sitting around a cards table, all eyes on the door, each with a different expression.Zachary looked at Jane, who entered first, and said with a smile, "Honey, pick someone you like and give him a kiss."Jane took a step back and bumped into Charlotte's arms.That was when she noticed the big screen beside them—it was showing their own private room."You were watching us?"Zachary tapped the cards on the table with his long fingers, still smiling."If we weren't watching, how would we get to enjoy such an entertaining scene?"They had all been drinking.Whitney didn't hold her liquor well. She was already a little dazed. Although the room was fairly bright, everything seemed a little off to her.

    Caleb didn't respond. Instead, he looked at Westley and played a card.Westley won.And it was a big pot as well.He cocked his brows. "Is this your wedding gift to me, Caleb?"Caleb asked, "Your wedding—Dr. Greyson won't be absent, will he? I heard you two are very close. You've been at death's door multiple times, and he's the one who saved you."Westley nodded. "Theoretically, yes. But I'm not sure if he might have some emergency.""Besides, it's not like you, Caleb, can't reach him. You helped him last time. It's impossible he'd ignore you now."Caleb could contact Carter, but if he did, it would mean helping Carter meet Mandy.He had no interest in meddling in romantic matters—too troublesome.But he couldn't get in touch with Tanner at all.Technically, there was no real need for him to attend Westley's wedding.Even if Whitney was invited by Jane, he himself wasn't obligated.He simply wanted to go, hoping to "accidentally" run into Carter.That way, it wouldn't loo

    Frank pulled her into his arms and asked, "You really have to go out for drinks?"Charlotte nodded. "It's a girls-only night. No men allowed.""Oh?" The man repeated slowly and deliberately, "No… men… allowed?"Charlotte saw the look on his face and knew exactly what he was thinking."Only women. Even the drinks are for women.""Oh? Tell me, how do you tell if a drink is male or female?"Charlotte lightly patted his face twice. "The drinks women drink are for women. Got it?"Frank laughed. "Got it."Over on Jane's end, after finishing her call, she was about to go look for Jordan, but Zachary pulled her into the room and pinned her against the wall.His warm lips covered hers, then quickly pulled away.With his forehead against hers, the man asked, "Going out for drinks?"Jane hooked his chin with her finger. "What, Mr. Collins, trying to seduce your way into a drinking invitation?"Zachary chuckled lowly, kissed her again, and asked, "May I?""No."Jane rejected him comp

    Jordan had grown up in the Howard family, but the person who had taken care of her since she was little had an old house.She arranged for Jane and the others to stay there, and she would also be getting married from that house.She didn't have many friends. Originally, Leanne was supposed to be her bridesmaid. Although she had a child, she had never been married.But Leanne wasn't sure if she could make it back in time, so she let Jane and Charlotte take over as substitutes for now. They would adjust accordingly later."Try on the dress. If there's a problem, I can still make adjustments."With the help of the two of them, Jordan put on the wedding dress.But Jane was most looking forward to the wedding dress.Both her and Charlotte's weddings were going to be Cherian style.Jordan, however, wanted a Western-style one.And Charlotte, who had designed clothes for many years, had never actually designed a wedding dress before.This was her first attempt, and she was very excit

    "Okay, I won't bring it up anymore."Westley walked over with Jonathan and sat down.Miranda was very satisfied. "Finally, Jordy can have dinner with me again."Jordan smiled. "I'm also happy. I can still call you Mom.""Then let's drink to that.""Okay."Westley waited for the "mother and daughter" to finish speaking, then threw out a big announcement. "By the way, our wedding is on the 22nd of next month."Clang!The spoon in Miranda's hand fell."What did you say?""On the 22nd of next month, Jordy and I are getting married. We sincerely invite you and your husband to attend."Jordan was also shocked.She only knew that Charlotte's dress was being made, and they were picking the wedding date.But Westley hadn't told her about this in advance."Next month, it's almost the New Year.""Yes, it's a wedding before the New Year. Then we'll celebrate the New Year at home. I'm informing you in advance, my dear mom. You can prepare for the the New Year Eve dinner.""The New Y

    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."
