"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."

    "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,

    I was hesitating whether I should speak first. Jane finished a glass of ice water and bit her lip, cursing, "Do you know that Zachary’s sick?" I nodded in agreement. If he liked her, he should just say so, after that, they could talk things out and be in a proper relationship. What was with the kissing? That was just something couples did. Now it was like he was acting like a thug. Anyone would be angry in her shoes. "Why not report him to the police?" "I want him to learn a lesson that he’ll never forget," said Jane. Then suddenly realized something was off. "I don't think I mentioned what he did, why would you suggest calling the police?" "Oh, I know." She leaned back on the sofa, crossing her arms in a questioning posture. "Did you peek at us from upstairs last night?" I felt guilty about this. I originally intended to go downstairs, but Frank wouldn't let me. I also thought this was their issue, and as a friend, I shouldn't intervene too much. "I’

    Zachary flipped through the book "108 Ways to Pursue a Girl" and said slowly, "There's no need to waste medical resources. Please can you bring some medicine over, Miss Greenwood?" Jane replied, "Medicine? That's easy. Just wait, Mr. Collins." Zachary curved his lips slightly, it seemed that these 108 ways were quite effective. After Jane hung up, she found someone to run the errand. Zachary purposely waited in the living room. The moment the doorbell rang, he immediately went to open the door. It turned out to be a small, dark-skinned man with a big smile. "Hello, sir, here's the fever medicine you ordered. That'll be 59.99." Zachary paid the money, returned to the sofa, and stared thoughtfully at the book "108 Ways to Pursue a Girl." Why didn't it work? At Region Gardens, I saw Jane looking happy and asked, "Are you feeling better?" Jane had the errand runner take a photo of her. Seeing Zachary's shocked expression, she couldn't help but laugh even more.

    But there were many people who felt it was a shame. My mom was famously talented, a naturally gifted actress who became well-known from a supporting role. She gained a lot of favor from the audience. Many waited for years to hear about her return, and now that she was withdrawing again, her fans had been hoping for her comeback. Moreover, my mom's injuries had mostly healed, so they wouldn’t affect her ability to act or attend events. But she doesn't want to show her face at all. "I want to try a different approach. I've slowly started handing over the company's matters to Joanne, and now I just want more time to spend with you and Sparrow." Jane went to book a venue for Charlotte's birthday and for Sparrow to be introduced to everyone. The place she found was special because the main hall connected to a small hall. No worries about crowds, during the main event, the small hall would still have a view. Just as she was about to pay the deposit, she received

    "No need for 'buts.'" Frank patted my head. "A favor is a favor. He helped us, and I'll remember this debt of gratitude, but it can't serve as a shield for him hurting your friend."I didn't have an opinion about Zachary that was this extreme. I just wanted to know what he really meant for Jane. He had been so cold before, speaking harshly, why was he suddenly playing this childish game now? "Why can't he just say it directly?" Frank opened his phone and showed me a picture. "108 Ways to Pursue a Girl" I tugged at the corner of my mouth. "What is this?" Frank raised his chin slightly. "It means just what it says." I put down the phone, thinking a bit. "Does he want to pursue Jane?" "That's one way to understand it." I felt a bit speechless. "But can't he just state his intentions first before taking action? Feigning illness really isn't charming at all." Frank put some food on my plate. "Eat first, you need energy to get angry." I chewed the food hard, incredul

    Charlotte patted her head. "First, make a video call to that little girl." Jane quickly found her phone and opened the landlord's WhatsApp. As soon as the call connected, the little girl appeared on screen, her eyes red. Tears were still visible on her face. The landlord was sitting next to her, waiting, not having gone to sleep. Jane apologized, "Sorry to disturb your rest." "Don't say that." The landlord gently patted her daughter's head. "I'm just happy you're alright." Jane smiled at the little girl. "Thanks to Celine, I'm fine." The little girl leaned closer to the screen. "Jane, you're lying. Your lips are swollen." Jane cleared her throat. "I ate something spicy earlier." She quickly added to prevent the little girl from saying anything else, "Alright, go to sleep now. We'll talk more when you get out of school. Jane went through a lot today, and she's tired too." The little girl, very understanding, handed the phone to her mother and went to bed

    The captain laughed. "Don't think that just because we're from abroad, we don't understand anything.""Young lady, if you want to buy some time, then I'll play along with you. But if you're hoping for someone to rescue you, I advise you to give up on that thought. This is the border. Domestic ships can't get through here."Well, you don't know Frank.There's no one who can stop him from going where he wants to go.Jane tried her best to suppress her fear. "Sir, I have all kinds of tricks. If I can make you guys happy, can you spare my life?"She reached out, grabbed the captain's belt, and moved closer."As long as you don't kill me, you'll be my savior. I'll be yours from now on and let you have your fun with me. Is that okay?"Although Jane hadn't dressed herself up recently.But her facial features were stunning. Those fox-like eyes with a smile in them were even more alluring.The captain kept swallowing saliva. Apparently, he was attracted.However, they had already rece

    They were anxious, not just because of the situation, but because they feared Zachary would go mad and go abroad with Jane. Frank glanced at their expressions and immediately understood that they were aware of Lexi's plan to send Jane abroad. "I suggest that while Zachary is looking for Jane, you should take care of the Sanchez family's matters. Otherwise, when Zachary comes back, there will be hell to pay." Jane ate the meal the waiter brought and then felt drowsy. She fell into a light sleep, and when she opened her eyes again, it was already half past nine. She remembered the things she had told the little girl before leaving and quickly grabbed her phone to call. But just then, the door was suddenly kicked open. Several adult men stormed in and grabbed her, dragging her outside. "What are you doing?" They had originally planned to reach the border, but unexpectedly, a violent storm had forced a slight course change. This delay allowed the effects of th

    Lexi said, "The plane will leave traces. By then, Zachary will find you. The ship will change at the border and private sea areas. Once she changes ships, it will be hard to track." Jane remembered when Jack had taken Charlotte away before. She felt a sense of unease. After all, Lexi wasn't someone she could fully trust. "I didn't expect you to be so timid." Lexi noticed Jane's worry. "I thought someone with your background, who dared to pursue someone as different as Zachary, and even date him, would have extraordinary courage." But wasn't Jane regretting it now? Otherwise, why would she be running away? She decided not to care anymore. With a firm heart, she boarded the ship. Lexi smiled in satisfaction, but then a cold glint appeared in her eyes as she spoke to the captain. "When we reach the border, throw her into the sea and feed her to the sharks." No matter where she went, as long as Zachary wanted to find her, it was just a matter of time.

    Lexi was so angry that she wanted to smash something. She got up and walked away, with each step of her high heels hitting the ground, the sound echoing her immense fury. The more difficult it was to conquer, the more determined she became to conquer it! Zachary went directly back to the Collins family home. The Collins family members were somewhat uneasy. When they saw him come back alone, they were both shocked and suspicious. "Did Lexi not come back with you?" asked Rebecca. Zachary did not respond and walked upstairs with long strides. Rebecca, along with Sir Collins and Madam Collins, exchanged gazes, all feeling something was off. It was strange that Zachary had actually returned to the Collins family. "Sean." Rebecca saw someone else entering behind him and immediately asked, "Did you follow him the whole time? Did you notice anything unusual?" Sean bent slightly, his face carrying a polite smile as he respectfully replied, "No abnormalities w

    The situation between Zachary and Jane's relationship had not been made public. It was normal for the employees at the company not to know about it. Zachary did not answer when people congratulated him, and Lexi stood silently by his side, not saying anything either. But to those around them, their actions were as good as an admission.Some people even offered their congratulations, but Zachary didn't acknowledge them. He didn't go upstairs. Instead, he turned and left the building. This time, he didn't even get into Lexi's car. The smell inside the car was too overwhelming, making him dizzy.Lexi followed him, and they entered a nearby cafe. He didn't go straight to Jane's place, but Lexi knew that was just a way of hiding his true intentions. However, she wasn't concerned. After all, the Collins family would never approve of him being with Jane. She just needed to give him a bit of time to play along."Mr. Collins, aren't you going to consider my suggestion?" Lexi asked with a sli

    The shock from the Collins family was too much for her. She wouldn't take the initiative, nor would she have the courage to continue with him.So what other way did he have?He'd tried both soft and hard tactics, yet this situation was still more complicated than advanced mathematics.The next day.Lexi invited Zachary out.But the Collins family hesitated.Rebecca said, "Why don't you two spend some more time getting to know each other at home first?"Lexi smiled. "Mrs. Collins, I know what you're worried about, but that woman is no longer in Jeswood."Rebecca was aware of this.After all, they had been keeping an eye on Jane's movements. They even knew where she was staying.It was surprising that Lexi had just returned a day ago, yet she had already figured it out.This kind of method and family background was exactly what the Collins family needed.It was also what Zachary needed."I've erased all traces. Even if he wants to find her today, he won't be able to, and it

    The landlord nodded understandingly. "You young people do have a lot of new ideas."They chatted casually and soon reached the large square.The stage had already been set up.They had arrived early, but there were already a lot of people gathered.Jane commented, "It's quite formal."The landlord proudly replied, "This isn't just a community event, there are even celebrities."Jane became a little curious and wanted to see what celebrities were here.It turned out to be an R-list boy band, along with a few elderly artists.Well, it was still a big stage.She watched for a while, but soon lost interest. She made an excuse to go to the bathroom.Under the cover of night, she wandered around.She spotted a small shop and bought a bag of cheese-flavored chips to eat.This kind of life, she thought, couldn't last long. She hoped Zachary would hurry up and get married, so he would stop bothering her."Jane..." Jane was lost in thought when the voice startled her, almost caus

    "Stop dreaming."Lexi, despite her feelings for Zachary, couldn't suppress her anger anymore."You want to marry that woman? That's nothing but wishful thinking."Zachary's gaze was icy, and every word he spoke, from his thin lips, carried a chilling frost."Her name is Jane."Lexi, at this point in her life, had never met a man who not only showed no interest in her but also repeatedly poked at her vulnerabilities."The more you protect her, the more dangerous she becomes. My offer won't change. You'll come to me eventually."With that, she turned, her heels clicking sharply as she walked toward the door."Excuse me, open the door."Sean opened the door.Lexi held her head high as she walked downstairs.Sean was about to close the door when Zachary threw the food outside.He even "thoughtfully" closed the door after that.When Rebecca saw the untouched food that Sean had brought down, she couldn't help but feel some pity."Not eating yet?"She had just praised Lexi for
