Chapter 678

Author: Lean
"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.

    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

    Zachary waved his hand. "It's nothing."Nina looked at Charlie. "Can you please give me a ride back?"It wasn't really a hassle, but Charlie didn't quite understand.Why was Zachary seemingly indifferent towards his ex-girlfriend?He clearly had almost fallen out with his family over her before.But the next moment, he realized.Zachary's personality was inherently aloof.Plus, he cared about appearances.If he wasn't sure that his ex-girlfriend had returned for him, he probably wouldn't take the initiative to reconcile.But that was fine, after all, Nina was back for good, and there would be plenty of time to rekindle old feelings.He was still sick now, so it was normal for him to be unable to engage emotionally."Zachary, come on, smile."Zachary looked up at the sound, being sick had slowed him down a bit.After Charlie took the picture, he was satisfied and posted it on social media."I'll take her home first, you wait for me at the hospital.""I have other plans.

    Charlie dropped Nina off and drove to Jane's place. When he arrived downstairs, he called Jane, but she didn't answer. Instead, he received a text back. "Man, I'm asleep."However, he learned from the security guard that she had just left with a young man and gone into the alley across the street. Jane wasn't famous like a celebrity, but she was outgoing and could chat with anyone. With her strikingly beautiful face, it was no surprise that people would look twice. Having lived there for a while, she had become familiar with the security guard. During holidays, she often brought small gifts or local specialties for him. So, whenever any unfamiliar men came looking for her, the security guard would notify her first instead of letting them in directly. The security guard assumed Charlie was just a persistent suitor who had been turned down, hence mentioning that Jane had a boyfriend—one who was both younger and better looking. Given how beautiful Jane was, it was only nat

    She just wanted a change of pace. Receiving Charlie's WhatsApp message now, she felt it was time to clarify things. "Mr. Lennox, you and Mr. Smith are friends, and I'm Charlotte's best friend. There are some things I don't want to say too bluntly. I appreciate your feelings, but I cannot reciprocate. I'm sorry, you will find the right person. As for me, I like this younger guy, so please don't be so involved. You're just a friend, not a father."If her own father couldn't control her, how could Charlie? The only person that she might listen to was Charlotte. But Charlotte had always indulged her, being happy together when she was happy and sad together when she was sad. She held a place in her heart for her but wouldn't act like a mother, controlling everything and forbidding her from doing anything. In life, whether good or bad, one had to experience it for themselves. If someone could tell her she would have parents like that, she would rather be reborn as a dog than

    In a place like this, people usually squeezed towards the back. Ironically, there were more empty seats at the front. At first, there was someone sitting next to her, but she didn't pay much attention. The movie was of a genre she loved, and with someone beside her passing snacks and drinks, she became engrossed in it. The first to notice Zachary was Michael. However, he wouldn't bring it up. "Do you want some jelly, Jane?" "Sure." Jane always wanted something to snack on while binge-watching. She hadn't had dinner, so this was the perfect opportunity to munch on some snacks. Later, she could hit the gym to burn off the calories. She couldn't let anything spoil her mood. But unexpectedly, someone did. The jelly Michael handed her was abruptly snatched away from her lips. She turned her head to see who had the audacity to steal jelly from a stranger in the middle of the night! Seeing Zachary's almost smirking expression made her freeze for a moment. It wa

    Jane was momentarily stunned. After she reacted, she clumsily tried to get up but was firmly held down by him at her slender waist. "Take your dirty paws off me." Zachary not only didn't let go but pressed her closer to himself. Jane could only move one hand. She couldn't push him away, so she covered his mouth and teasingly said, "So, Mr. Collins likes to be forceful." "Let go of Jane!" Michael threw away his snacks and grabbed Jane's arm, trying to pull her out of Zachary's embrace. Although Zachary was unwell, he had been trained since childhood. Naturally, Michael couldn't successfully pull Jane away from him. Seeing Jane frown, he scolded, "You’re hurting her. Her wrist has turned red." The people in Room 3 were attracted by the chaotic scene in the front row. Since Michael couldn't pull Jane away, he turned to grab Zachary's wrist, trying to make him let go of Jane. But his hand was like a vise, not budging at all. "I'm sorry, Jane…" Michael looked a

    "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
