Jane seemed to have endless wealth, waving her hand, "How is it a waste of money when you spend it on your daughter? Besides, Frank doesn't lack money." She put little shoes on the baby and added, "Mr. Smith said he'd reimburse me for everything, so it's fine." I thought to myself, ‘Everyone here is quite extravagant.’"Aw... so cute!" Jane couldn't help but kiss the baby and asked, "Have you chosen a formal name yet? You can't just keep calling her 'baby.'" "When I visit others, they even have nicknames. We should at least have a formal name." I felt that names just had to be simple and easy to remember. But Frank was different, he insisted on a unique name. He flipped through dictionaries every day but never found anything he liked. "Why don't you choose the nickname? I can't decide on the formal name." I initially planned to just call her "baby" until Frank picked a name that would last. I thought I could come up with a nickname later that would match
Frank even went to a church for a name. When I found out, I couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. My mom sighed. "It's my fault as a mother-in-law, I put too much pressure on him." Jane teased, "Now you have more competition for Frank's love." "He's a materialist, and now he's religious." "Don't stir up trouble," I huffed. "He's not loving anyone else, he loves my daughter. I'm actually happy about it." But Frank's actions were indeed a bit over the top. A name was important, but it didn’t require such a big fuss. When he returned, I planned to talk to him about it seriously. Instead, he put a bracelet on my wrist. "The good luck charm from Alana is too childish. This one can help you ward off all disasters." I couldn't help but feel my resolve weaken. My heart was gradually filled with emotion. He used to be so arrogant, yet now he sought divine protection for our peace. It was quite unbelievable. "Alan said you went to seek a n
In the evening, Frank didn't have dinner at home. Zachary also helped him handle many things. He couldn't keep being aloof, he had to go check it out. I fed the child some milk and sat down at the dining table. I noticed Jane was staring at her phone, bringing cutlery to her mouth but not picking up a single grain of rice. "What are you busy with? If it's work-related, I can start handling it with you now." Jane shook her head. "Nothing." She put down her phone and said, "It's my personal matter." There were rarely any secrets between Jane and me. She wasn't someone who could keep things hidden. Something was off. Thinking back, it seemed like there was something strange between her and Zachary. "Have you completely given up on pursuing Zachary?" Jane responded with a nod. "Let’s not talk about him him, you should eat more meat and nourish yourself." She kept serving me dishes until my plate was piled high. I reached out to stop her. "
"Under such circumstances, even I’m not moody." ‘Ex-girlfriend…’ Frank's smile deepened as he looked at Zachary, casually saying, "So it seems our bet still has some suspense." Charlie chimed in, "I think Frank can win. His family wouldn’t agree with the relationship between him and his girlfriend so easily. With his personality, he wouldn't sneak off to get a marriage certificate and then announce it later." Zachary glanced at Charlie and finally spoke to Frank, "Why didn't the people who were supposed to visit me last time I was hospitalized show up?" Frank cocked his brows, responding unhurriedly, "Oh, my wife told me not to talk about it." "But the ones who shouldn't have come did. I'm not clear on that." Zachary hadn't received any news and was waiting for Jane, only to be surprised by someone else. "Let's drink." Frank didn't say anything and downed his drink. He put down the glass and stood up. "It's getting late, I'm heading back." Charlie quick
"Hmm?" I forgot that Frank was always reckless. I tried to cover his mouth but didn't have time. "Honey, are you hinting at something?" I shot him a glare, hurriedly chatting with Jane for a moment before pulling Frank into the elevator. Back home, Frank cocked his brows, a hint of mischief in his expression. "In a hurry?" At first, I didn't get what he was talking about. Then I reached out and poked his face hard. "What's wrong with you?" Frank looked confused. "What do you mean?" I withdrew my hand. "About Jane and Zachary. She's Sparrow's godmother. You handle it." Frank pulled me into his arms and leaned down to kiss me. "I won’t do anything, just watching the show." I was about to speak when he picked me up effortlessly. "Besides, I have my own important matters to attend to." I could truly feel Frank's urgency. He was so anxious that he even took a shower with me. But just as we got into the bathroom and stripped down, the bedroom door
"If Mr. Collins wants me to give you a ride, I'm sorry, I don't have time. But I can call a taxi for you." Zachary pressed his throbbing forehead. "Why must it be like this?" Jane found it amusing and was too lazy to say much to the drunk. "Are you calling for a taxi yourself, Mr. Collins, or should I help you?" Zachary felt confused and asked, "Are you still talking to Charlie?" Jane had tied her hair up to make it easier to hold the baby. Feeling a bit irritated, she let it down and shook it. Then she glanced over at Charlotte's house. She was contemplating whether to interrupt their moment and let Frank deal with Zachary. But thinking about Frank's methods, she passed on that idea. She took out her phone, preparing to call a taxi. Just then, Charlie called her, which was convenient, she could have him take Zachary away. But before she could answer, her phone was snatched away, then she was enveloped by a shadow. Before she could react, she felt somet
"Sir Collins found out about it and sent her abroad, saying it was to see the world and learn more. In reality…" Frank patted my head. "Got it?" "So..." I reached out to tap Frank's strong chin. "That's what makes someone unforgettable, right?" Frank glanced at me. "You now know that Zachary and his first love can’t be together, and now you're planning to match him with Jane?" "Not really, it all depends on Jane's feelings." I withdrew my hand. "I just think it's a pity to miss out on a good relationship because of such misunderstandings." "Are you playing with words here?" Frank leaned in and nudged my nose. "I've told you everything, what's my reward?" I quickly pushed back against him. "I still have questions to ask." Frank let out a nonchalant hum and kept his hands moving. "Go ahead and ask." I pressed down on his hands and asked seriously, "Then wouldn't that mean Jane isn't qualified to marry into the Collins family?" Now, the Charlotte Jewelry was
Jane stopped, turned, and leaned against the car. Suddenly she asked, "Has Mr. Collins encountered any issues recently?" "Huh?" Charlie was caught off guard by the sudden topic, but he didn't think much of it and replied, "Hey, it's just that his ex-girlfriend is back. It's normal for him to be a bit off, he almost fell out with his family over her before." ‘So devoted. Then why the hell did he kiss me? So shameless!’ Jane turned and kicked the tire. Such an action caused her foot to hurt and tears streamed down her cheeks. Seeing this, Charlie realized something was wrong. "Feeling down? Did someone bully you? I'll go teach them a lesson." Jane really wanted to say it was Zachary, but unfortunately, they were friends. She had to deal with this herself. "No one bullied me. I just don't want Mr. Collins to be in a bad mood and raise my rent. Or not give me such a good spot to rent." Charlie waved his hand. "Nonsense! I'm still here, you don’t have to worry,
"Jane, don't argue with Zachary. This time, I am staying here voluntarily," said Jordan."I’ve made a bet with Westley, and there will be a resolution in the end."Jane nodded. "I can let you handle this matter yourself, but you have to promise me that you won’t let yourself get hurt, and you won’t just keep sacrificing yourself. If it becomes unbearable, give it up. I’ll always be here to support you."Jordan nodded. "Okay."The two sisters chatted for a long time, and only when Jane started to feel sleepy did they end the video call.Jordan handed the phone to Buck and closed the door to her room.Buck was left standing there.He felt like he had been completely abandoned, as if everything around him had fallen apart.Anyway, as a sandwich in the middle, he was already crushed, so it didn’t matter anymore.For several days, Jordan got up to eat, and the food was always food prepared by the chef.She hadn’t seen Westley around.She couldn’t really say how she felt. She just
"He is faking his psychological illness," Jordan rebutted.Even if he had one, it had nothing to do with her.Even she didn’t have any psychological issues, how could someone with such a strong mind like Westley have any psychological issues?He shouldn’t blame her for everything.Having seen enough, she turned around and walked away.But Carter called her back. "He once took good care of you, and you're going to be this heartless?"Jordan wasn’t familiar with Carter. He was usually a man of few words with a cold personality.If she greeted him, he wouldn’t respond. If she talked too much, she might get an icy look in return.She really didn’t expect that one day, he would try to mediate between her and Westley."You should focus more on your own matters," she said.His own love life was a mess, so what right did he have to interfere in hers?Jordan’s emotions were written all over her face, she didn’t hide them.Carter could guess how she was feeling just by looking at her
Jane didn’t care about Westley. Even if he was feeling it now, it was too late for regrets.If he hadn’t acted the way he did, Jordan wouldn’t have suffered so much.Moreover, he had once ignored her cries for help, so now he shouldn’t blame Jordan for his injuries.“How’s my sister?” she asked.Roy replied, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Collins, Ms. Hickey is doing fine. Except for the lack of freedom, there are no other restrictions.”“When can I have a video call with her?”Roy thought for a moment. “Since Mr. Howard is now delirious, I can make the arrangements.”“Thank you,” said Jane.“It’s no trouble, it’s my job.”After hanging up the phone, Jane looked at Zachary and asked, “What do you think?”Zachary moved the phone a little farther away to avoid radiation.After finishing the massage, he helped her lie down and said, “I’m thinking what you’re thinking.”Jane gave him a sidelong glance. “You’re slick.”Zachary smirked and bent down to kiss her forehead.“Get some rest.”
"Mrs. Howard—"Buck watched helplessly as Jordan jumped into the sea.Before he could rush over, a figure was even faster than him."Sir!"Westley dived into the water, found Jordan, and dragged her to the shore.When Jordan was pulled onto the shore, she was still a bit dazed.Wasn't she just swimming? Why was there so much fuss?Buck gestured for people to bring a stretcher, lifted Westley onto it, and hurried back.Buck also called for the maids to help Jordan back.Jordan wiped her face, pushed the maid aside, and twisted the water out of her hair. "What happened?"Buck was anxious to check on Westley, but he couldn’t stop watching Jordan, worried she might jump into the sea again and trying to think of other ways to prevent it."Mr. Howard was saving you.""Why?" Jordan was confused. "I didn’t drown. What’s the need to save me?"Buck recalled what he had seen earlier. It seemed like... swimming?"Weren’t you... jumping into the sea?""Yes." Jordan didn’t notice Buck
"Nathan, you should head back and deal with your own matters. Let's not interfere with Jordan's matters anymore."Nathan didn’t expect Jane to say this. He paused for a moment before speaking. "You know better than I do what Westley has done. How can we just ignore it? Jordan is still young and hasn’t experienced much in terms of relationships. She lacks experience, what if she falls again..."Jane knew what he was talking about and comforted him. "Don’t worry. Jordan may have experienced little in terms of relationships, but she’s not a foolish girl. She knows how to handle things."Nathan asked, "Is it because there’s something Westley knows?""No, it’s because we can't let Westley continue making a scene. This matter still needs to be handled by the person involved."Nathan didn’t say anything more and told Jane not to worry. When it was close to her delivery, he would come back.Jane agreed and hung up the phone.She threw the phone onto the counter and hugged Zachary from b
Charlotte raised her hand and gently patted Jane’s shoulder."I understand, after all, she's your sister. But I think Jordan is very smart and capable, she can take care of herself. You can worry, but at the same time, take care of your own health. Then, when she comes back, you can love her properly."Jordan walked around the island.There was a helipad on the mountain with two helicopters.Out at sea, there was a large cruise ship docked.But she didn’t know how to pilot any of them, so there was no way to escape.In the end, she decided to just accept things as they were.If there was a problem, she would deal with it. If not, she’d wait."Mrs. Howard, Jasmine is looking for you."When Jordan returned to the villa, Buck handed her a phone.Hearing Jasmine’s name, she took it."Jasmine.""I'm relieved you're okay," said Jasmine, letting out a sigh of relief, then apologizing. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have drunk so much.""It’s not your fault."Since Westley had a plan to
She got up just around noon.After thinking for a moment, she decided to go see Westley.Westley wasn't in the bedroom, so she went downstairs to ask the staff.The servant pointed toward the kitchen, and she walked over, finding Westley cutting vegetables.A strip of bandages was wrapped around his exposed wrist.His pale lips and exhausted eyes suggested he was still in poor condition.Yet, he was cooking?Jordan pressed her lips together, her sleep had been poor, and her face didn’t look good either.She stood in place for a few seconds, then turned and walked away.If he didn’t take care of his own body, what business was it of hers?Westley glanced over but didn’t call her, continuing his task.Buck watched the whole scene, worried about Westley’s health, he was still running a fever.“Sir, you should rest. Let me arrange for someone to cook, and I’ll bring it up to you later. And Mrs. Howard... probably won’t care about you... You should take care of your health. Othe
Charlotte nodded. “So does unhygienic mean better taste?”Jane directly spoke to her belly, "Son, you have to treat your mother-in-law well in the future. Mommy won't be able to back you up. Mommy’s useless..."Charlotte raised her hand and poked her forehead. "Alright, stop the act.""You're even bringing the child up. We still don’t know if it's a boy."Jane said, "I want to arrange a marriage alliance with you. My child can sense his mother’s feelings and will surely fulfill his mother's wishes.""That's nonsense." Charlotte went out to buy what she wanted to eat.As soon as she sat in the car, she received a call from Frank."Is Mr. Smith slacking off again?"Frank chuckled. "I’m calling my wife. Is that not allowed anymore?"Charlotte had driven herself. She turned on the air conditioning and was thinking about going shopping. "I’ve got to go now. I'll be home tonight."Frank heard the sound of the engine and asked, "Did you go out?"Charlotte snorted, "You should know
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
