Chapter 673

Author: Lean
"Zachary."

Nina saw me and smiled gently. "Charlotte, we meet again."

She was a bit younger than me, but it felt a little weird for her to be a first name basis since we had only met once.

I wondered where she got the idea from?

Since we were both smiling, I could only respond politely, "Hello."

Just as Nina was about to say something to me, Jane pulled me away.

"There are other matters to attend to, don't waste time here."

I nodded at Zachary as Jane led me away.

Michael's big, bright eyes were full of innocent curiosity. "Charlotte, was that your friend just now?"

Before I could respond, Jane wrapped her arm around his neck, saying, "Why are you so curious about unimportant people? No need to know so much."

Michael obediently nodded. "I'll listen to you. If you say I shouldn’t know so much, then I won't."

I felt a bit irritated.

I felt like my head was going to explode.

Michael and Zachary were completely different types.

    "You're welcome." We stood in front of the elevator. I felt a gaze fall on us. Turning my head, I saw Zachary standing beside me. He wasn't a stranger, so I had to speak. "Are you heading downstairs, Mr. Collins?" Zachary's eyes swept over Jane before he replied, "Finished, heading to the underground car park." I understood, he was about to leave. I said, "We're also going to the underground car park. Looks like we’re headed to the same place." Just as I finished speaking, Michael suddenly chimed in, "Jane, my back is suddenly itchy, can you scratch it for me? I can't reach." This wasn't a big deal, Jane immediately helped him. "Jane, you can't reach through my coat." Michael's voice was pitiful, paired with his puppy dog eyes, making him look like a big, spoiled boy. It was hard not to feel softhearted. However, I had never liked younger boys, I was indifferent. But Jane seemed to enjoy it. She reached into his collar. "Is it here?" M

    I turned to glance back, and Zachary was steadily following behind us. His expression was calm and composed. When we reached the spot, I realized his car was parked in this area too. "Why do you keep looking at him? Aren't you afraid Frank will get jealous?" Jane whispered mischievously in my ear. I chuckled softly. "He's not the type to get jealous over everyone." Just as I finished speaking, my phone rang. As I picked up the call, a sudden crashing sound erupted nearby. I turned to look, stunned, and even forgot to hold the phone to my ear. Coming to my senses, I quickly walked towards Zachary's car. But Jane stopped me. "Don't go over there, it's too dangerous. I'll call the police." I felt a bit anxious. "We should get the person out first. What if the car explodes?" "Don't worry." Michael placed the shopping bags into the car, "I'll go take a look. This crash shouldn't cause an explosion, but you and Jane should stay back to avoid getting hurt. And

    Jane leaned against the car, arms crossed, completely uninterested. Having seen plenty of men, she knew exactly what they were up to. Like dogs, they loved to mark their territory. But regardless of Zachary's feelings or intentions, she wouldn't respond. She had refused her chance before, so now that he was with his ideal partner, why bother? It would just be foolish. She said casually, "Don't worry. Frank will handle it when he arrives." "Mrs. Smith." Just as she finished, a middle-aged man hurried over, bowing to me. "I apologize for the scene. I'll handle this, you should go upstairs and rest. I've arranged some refreshments." I nodded politely. "No need, I have things to do. You go ahead and do what you have to." I looked at Jane. "Let's call them to leave." Jane called Michael over. He came immediately, looking utterly innocent and well-behaved. However, just as we turned to leave, we heard the middle-aged man urgently talking on the phone be

    "Well." Frank had a big smile on his face. "See you tonight."After Jane's car drove away, Frank walked over to Zachary.The middle-aged man quickly bowed. "Mr. Smith."Frank rested his hand on the car roof, slightly lowering his neck to glance inside.Seeing that the man in the car had no reaction, he simply lifted his leg and kicked it. "Stop pretending."Zachary propped up his heavy eyelids, his voice hoarse. "I'm not pretending."Frank was merciless. "Occupying medical resources."As he spoke, the ambulance arrived.In the VIP ward, Frank leisurely watched Zachary get an IV drip.He leaned back in his chair, arms crossed. "Hurting yourself like this is a bit low."Zachary frowned, not wanting to hear the words "hurting himself.""I had a headache and wasn't paying attention, it was just a car, I'm not short on money."Frank chuckled. "Playing dumb now, are we?"Zachary was at a loss for words. He took a deep breath. "My head really hurts, and my vision is blurry.""

    "Uncle Jason, if you truly have feelings for my mom, just say the word, and I will find a way to help you. If not, I apologize again for my abruptness today."Jason's hand holding the cup trembled slightly.But he didn't let my words cloud his judgment, his voice remained rational."Charlotte, I won't force Yasmin. If she loves me, I will cherish her for a lifetime, but if she doesn't, I'm willing to be her friend for life."Upon hearing this, I understood and advised him, "If, as you say, my mom rejected you out of guilt, then she must have feelings for you. If not, she would have directly apologized and said there's no possibility between you two."Jason used to think the same way. He and Yasmin had shared half a lifetime.Their time together surpassed that of many couples, and they understood each other deeply.He felt that since she hadn't clearly rejected him, perhaps they could take a step further...But later he changed his mind, not because of her subtle rejection.Rat

    I returned home and used Jane and Michael's conversation to subtly steer the topic toward Jason, curious about my mom's feelings for him.My mom quickly caught on. "You want me to talk to Jason and help this rookie out, right? Is Jane serious about him? Is she really done with Zachary?"Though my mom was older, she kept up with current events.I couldn't help but chuckle and shook my head. "Not sure, honestly."I shifted the topic. "I discussed with Frank that we should keep the wedding low-key, like an engagement, just inviting close friends and family. What do you think?"My mom nodded. "It's your wedding, you can do whatever you want, and I'll play along.""Can I invite Jason? I remember you have a sweet duet with him, perfect for a wedding."At her age and after being in the entertainment industry for so long, she initially thought I was just chatting. But when I mentioned Jason, she quickly realized my intentions."You just asked me if I have someone I like, then mentioned

    I nodded. "I'm quite happy."If my mom had feelings for Jason and a relationship could develop, that would be a good thing. Missing out on love was a significant regret.Frank patted my head. "I have something to tell you.""Is it about Zachary?" I pulled away from his embrace, crossing my arms and looking at him seriously. "You're not trying to turn me against him, are you?"Frank chuckled lightly. "Of course not, I'm firmly on your side."But he then shifted his tone. "However, Zachary did ask me for help."I asked, "How did he ask for your help?"Frank replied, "He asked me with words."I shot him a glance. "You've really mastered the art of pointless chatter."Frank laughed, wrapping his arms around me again. "You don't understand him, the fact that he can say 'please' shows he genuinely wants my help."I poked Frank's solid chest. "If he really wants something, he should talk it out with Jane, apologize sincerely, and express his true feelings. If he's sincere, Jane wi

    681She was not a wishy-washy person and should have said things clearly.If one couldn't handle it, then one shouldn't play. She didn't want things to become complicated later.But she didn't do that. Instead, she said, "There's a private theater over there, let's go."Michael followed Jane across the street, his eyes downcast. "I'm sorry, Jane. I just wanted to bring you something to eat, I didn't mean to disturb you. If I wasted your time, I can find a way to make it up to you."Jane smiled. It was a bit cool in the evening, and she casually put on a jacket and asked, "How can you make it up?""I…"Michael leaned closer to her. "I’ll do whatever you want."Jane linked her arm with his. "Don't do things like this again. If you want to bring me something, call me first."Michael suppressed his joy and looked aggrieved. "I was afraid you'd think it’s a hassle, so I took the initiative. If you doesn't like it, I won't do it again, I just hope you don't hate me for it."Jane kne

    "Yeah."Westley didn't put any distance between them, lazily replying, "You bought all of it. I don't even know where to buy it."If Westley wanted something, there were plenty of people who would go to great lengths to get it for him.It was just an ordinary body wash. Finding out where to buy it would have been a trivial matter.Jordan's attention shouldn't have been on the body wash. It should have been on the fact that he had just stepped out of the shower, wearing nothing but a bath towel.But instead, she was entirely drawn into the topic."Then I'll buy you a new one. Don't use the one that has expired—what if you have an allergic reaction?""Okay."Jordan immediately took out her phone and placed an order.After she finished, she even showed him the confirmation."It'll arrive in a few days. Use something else in the meantime."Westley stared at her silently for a few seconds before speaking."Jordy, I'm sorry."That one apology was enough to make Jordan come back

    Jordan really wouldn’t be able to keep an eye on him. If she fell asleep and he left, she wouldn’t even know.By that time, who knows what excuse he would come up with.But staying in the same room together wasn’t appropriate given their current relationship.Westley spoke up, offering her a solution.“You can sleep on the sofa. Even if you fall asleep, you’ll notice if I make any moves.”That sounded like a good idea.Jordan immediately agreed.But if she had thought about it more carefully, she might have realized how unusual it was for Westley to suggest a woman sleep on the sofa.Even though they were about to divorce, they still had a bond from growing up together.If not as a husband, then as a “brother,” he shouldn’t let his “sister” sleep on the sofa.He only suggested it because he knew she would agree without hesitation.Westley handed her a blanket and, in an unhurried manner, loosened his cufflinks and tie.He casually asked, “Do you want to shower first?”Jord

    “Why?” asked Jane.“Because such an opportunity is rare,” replied Zachary.Westley indeed cherished the opportunity tonight.Regarding potential rivals, he had investigated a lot.Oliver was the only person who was a little close to Jordan.So tonight, he was confident he could remain emotionally stable and have a proper conversation with Jordan.But he hadn’t expected to encounter a problem as soon as they got off the plane.“Jordan!”Leanne, holding a large bouquet of sunflowers, immediately passed the flowers to Jordan upon seeing her.“If I hadn’t asked, I wouldn’t have been able to catch you. It’s been so long since we’ve gathered together.”“No matter what happens between you and my brother, we can’t cut off our relationship, right?”Jordan had always had a good relationship with the members of the Howard familyNo one treated her poorly or like an outsider.During her school years, any troublemakers had been dealt with by the Howard family.Especially Leanne, who h

    Zachary was rendered speechlessFrank teased him, "Family status."Zachary ignored him, as if Frank's family status was any higher."Dominic is keeping an eye on things over there, which is reassuring. The finished products have already been produced, and Jordan helped take some photos. The promotional effect has been good.""Dominic is reliable. It's just a pity I can't model for the later set of the clothes' promotions. Honestly, I really wanted to wear them, the patterns in the later designs are even more intricate."Charlotte glanced at her belly. "You're not showing yet, so you can wear them. I had Dominic send them over. I was in a rush to come back today because of Jordan and didn't bring them, but when the package arrives, you can wear them for the shoot."Jane sighed. "I wonder if the girl will still have time to help me take photos in a few days. I want her to take my maternity photos too.""Whether or not she gets divorced, if you ask her, she’ll definitely come. You

    “Let’s go back to the the Howard family’s residence.”“It’s too late, I don’t want to disturb them.”Jordan gritted her teeth. “Then let’s go to your house. It’s so big, we can each take a room and not disturb each other.”Westley calmly took a sip of tea. “It’s not very convenient.”Jordan’s temper flared. “Let’s just stay in a hotel!”Westley replied, “There are too many people watching me in Nelana. I don’t want to be misunderstood.”Jane and Charlotte exchanged a look.They both understood each other’s thoughts.Before, they had thought Westley was calculating and manipulative.He had always been clever at using tricks to handle Jordan.Now, they realized it wasn’t just that.This man had a thick skin—he could say anything without blinking.But they didn’t fully understand Westley’s intentions.He clearly had the chance to spend time alone with Jordan, perhaps to explain some things and clear the air.Yet he kept refusing.If he felt it was inconvenient, if he didn’t

    At that moment, someone under Westley came to report.“Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Howard flew to Jeswood. They’re likely going back to celebrate Mr. Collins and Mrs. Collins’ wedding.”Westley immediately booked a flight as well.When Jordan saw Jane, she started venting her frustrations.As she spoke, her voice gradually faded, and she apologized, “I’m sorry. It’s your big day, and here I am talking about this.”Jane poured her a cup of tea. “It’s alright, I understand. I invited you to celebrate, which is sudden of me, considering you’re in the middle of a divorce.”Jordan shook her head. “I could use the good vibes. Hopefully, it’ll help me get the divorce finalized smoothly.”Zachary and Frank exchanged glances, wisely choosing not to get involved in the conversation.What they didn’t expect was for Westley to show up at such a critical moment.He even handed Zachary a gift. “Congratulations.”Zachary instinctively looked at Jane and saw her smiling faintly. His scalp tingled wi

    Zachary had already planned for today.He didn’t take Westley’s words to heart.He assumed Frank would explain things to Charlotte.Who knew Charlotte actually accompanied Jordan to Nelana?“It’s not that, it’s just a coincidence.”Jane chatted with Charlotte and asked about Jordan’s situation.Charlotte said, “Westley didn’t show up, so the young girl is very angry right now. I’m taking her to get some photos taken.”“Then after you’re done, come back. How can I celebrate without you here?”Nelana and Jeswood weren’t far from each other. Charlotte checked the time and agreed.“If you’re hungry, just eat something first. Don’t keep waiting. Once I’m on the plane, I’ll let you know. You can roughly estimate the timing.”“Alright!”Jane hung up the phone and looped her arm around Zachary’s. “I want to eat a strawberry cake.”Zachary helped her into the car and instructed Ross to drive to a cake shop.He got out of the car himself to buy it.As Jane ate, she asked, “So if We

    “I don’t care! I must go back and put on some makeup!” Jane declared.Ross, who would rather face Zachary’s wrath than make Jane unhappy, immediately prepared to turn the car around.But Zachary stopped him. “Keep driving.”He gently patted Jane’s back to calm her down.“I know you’re excited about getting the certificate, but don’t get so worked up—think about the baby.”Was that what he thought this was about?Jane grabbed Zachary’s ear. “Are you getting old and becoming deaf? I said turn the car around! If you keep pretending not to hear me, don’t even think about me taking a photo with you to get the certificate when we get there!”In the end, Zachary had no choice but to compromise.Jane hadn’t done her makeup in a while. With the sudden pregnancy, she hadn’t had the time to prepare maternity-safe cosmetics.So they went to the mall, where she bought what she needed and applied a full, flawless makeup look.Feeling beautiful and confident, she finally went to the Civil A

    Jordan planned to return to Nelana right after breakfast.Yasmin tried to persuade her to stay a few more days.But she was eager to return and finalize her divorce.Charlotte decided to accompany her since she hadn’t had the chance to visit Dominic and look at the finished products after Jane’s recent accident.Frank wanted to tag along, but Charlotte stopped him. “You stay here and handle things.”Frank sneered. “You’re just tired of me and keep coming up with reasons to stay apart.”Charlotte had been hearing this from him a lot lately and was immune to it by now.She patted his shoulder, linked arms with Jordan, and walked away.Frank was rendered speechless‘Fine.’Westley had never drunk so much alcohol before.Although he wasn’t completely wasted, there were still some things he remembered clearly.However, his headache was intense.Buck brought him some water, asked about his schedule, and reported on the events of the night before.Westley paused while drinking t
