Chapter 682

Author: Lean
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. J

    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 was also a smart person and quickly understood Zachary's intentions.He spoke in a seemingly grand manner but was actually testing her.As long as she opened her mouth to tell Michael to leave, he would get what he wanted.He cleared the room, and she told Michael leave.It merely confirmed that she had not truly moved on from him.To her, he was still more important than the new guy.Jane smiled faintly. "I refuse, Mr. Collins. If you don't let go of me, I'll have Michael call Charlotte. If a boy calls Charlotte at this hour, what do you think Frank would do?"Who knew Frank's character better than Zachary?And Jane indeed was capable of doing such things.He held her tightly but eventually released her.Jane immediately stepped out of his embrace and left with Michael.Even in autumn, with a knitted dress and a coat draped over it, her charm remained undiminished.The exposed section of her straight, well-proportioned calf was extremely graceful.As they were about

    Zachary's head ached intensely. Initially, he thought he would feel better after the IV drip, but now it felt like his blood pressure had risen due to anger. His vision blurred slightly. He wanted to say something, but Jane had already shaken off his hand. When he tried to grab her again, he missed his mark. Then, everything went dark, and he collapsed. Jane instinctively reached out to support him. This wasn't just because he was Zachary, she would have helped anyone who suddenly fainted in front of her. "Stop pretending. If you don't get up soon, I'm letting go. If you fall and hurt yourself, don't blame me," she said, preparing to release him, but when she saw that he really was about to fall, she gritted her teeth and held him up. But her strength was limited, so she called out to Michael. "Help me out here." Michael was reluctant but still took over holding Zachary from Jane, though he immediately thought about just dropping him. However, he couldn't ruin his

    Jane replied instantly, "Goodnight".Michael leaned against the entrance, smiling like a three-year-old who just received candy. When Zachary woke up in the hospital, he still felt disoriented. Seeing the driver by the bedside, he frowned. "What are you doing here?" Why wasn’t it Jane? The driver poured him some water. "I was worried about you." Zachary was indeed very thirsty, and after drinking a bit, his mind began to function again. "You brought me to the hospital?" The driver nodded. Zachary frowned even more. "What did you see?" The driver answered honestly, "I saw you talking to Miss Greenwood, and then you suddenly fainted. She couldn't hold you up, but luckily her boyfriend was there to help. I hurried over and brought you to the hospital." Hearing the words "her boyfriend," Zachary's brows furrowed even more. "She said that herself?" "What?" The driver was momentarily confused. Zachary pressed. "Did you see them go home together?" The driver sho

    But he really had no other choice. He went directly to find Jane, but she wouldn't listen to him. There had to be an opportunity to sit down and talk things through. He cleared his throat. "Do you have any suggestions?" "Just hurry up and get this illness of yours treated," Frank said as he stood up, adjusting his cuffs. "You still need to help with my wedding." Zachary opened his mouth to refuse but then realized something. "You're really something, always scheming." Frank shot him a sidelong glance and walked out. After several busy days, Jane finally found a suitable venue for a traditional wedding and spent a long time negotiating before finalizing it. "Jane, have something to drink." For these past few days, Michael had been by her side. His drama had finished filming, and he was waiting for news from other productions. Jane took the cup and noticed it was warm. "Where did you get this hot drink from?" "I sweet-talked the lady in the lobby a bit, and she

    Jordan hadn't decided yet. "Do you have any particular places you'd like to visit?"Jane said, "Then let's go shopping."She turned to Charlotte. "Can you walk?""I’m fine. If we get tired, we can find a place to sit and rest."Jane then looked at Whitney and asked if she wanted to go.Whitney nodded.The four girls made a quick decision and set off.Ross was eating an apple when he saw them coming out together. He immediately asked, "Mrs. Collins, where are you going? Do you need me to give you a lift?"Jane looked at the car behind him and noticed there were no other cars."Take us to the biggest shopping center.""Okay."The MPV was large, and with just Ross as the driver, it was more than enough for the four of them to sit comfortably."Ma’am, there are yogurts and snacks next to you, all your favorites."Jane glanced at it and said, "Remember to tell Zachary that it’s too late to apologize after making a mistake."Ross would only repeat the exact words to Zachary, an

    Ross agreed and turned to leave.Jane kicked the door open with her foot, then stepped onto the balcony, and Whitney quickly came to help.After setting the breakfast down, she noticed something was wrong.Jane and Charlotte exchanged a glance.Jane asked in confusion, "Why are there things in here that neither Charlotte nor I like to eat?""It seems that Zachary and Frank were a bit careless."Whitney quickly said, "I can eat what you don't like."She wasn't picky about food, it was just that she used to not have enough to eat, so she had always eaten less and stayed thin.Jane hadn't heard Ross mention that Caleb had come.She said, "Don't you think Caleb specifically bought this for you?"Whitney was puzzled.Charlotte pointed and said, "The things we like to eat were all prepared by Frank and Zachary. They wouldn't purposely prepare things we don't eat. So, what do you think the extra food is for?"Whitney was momentarily stunned.She thought it was because Jane had or

    Whitney washed up and went straight to bed.She didn't have the habit of playing on her phone before bed.Before coming to Nelana, all her work had been handed over.If something urgent came up, someone would call her.So she didn't check her phone, and thus missed Caleb's message.Caleb was on the hotel balcony, with his phone placed on the small coffee table.He held a glass of wine, swaying it absentmindedly.His gaze, however, remained fixed on the phone.But even when it got to dawn, there was no reply from Whitney.The man curved his lips slightly and lit a cigarette.He leaned against the balcony railing, waiting for the sun to rise.Whitney woke up in the morning, went to wash up, and after she finished, took a book from her luggage and went to sit on the swing on the balcony to read.As she passed the kitchen, she made herself a cup of coffee.She didn't like to move much, most of her time was spent on improving herself.She tried to learn as much as possible.S

    Westley didn't say anything either.Zachary and Frank were a team, he was no match for them in an argument.His relationship with Caleb wasn't that close, so it was impossible for the latter to help him."They're having barbecue for lunch," said Frank, locking his phone. "They just ordered the ingredients."Jordan found two power strips and moved the pot to the balcony."Good thing we have these, otherwise, we wouldn't be able to eat.""Why do you have so many pots left in this house?" asked Whitney."I lived here for a while before," Jordan placed the plates and cutlery down. "I also feel like leaving these things here makes it seem like Grandpa is still around."Whitney apologized.Jordan smiled and reassured her, "It's fine. No need to apologize. From now on, we're good friends."Whitney nodded and smiled in agreement, "Alright.""By the way, Jordan.""What's up, Jane?"Jane said, "Both Zachary and Frank have booked hotels, so they don’t to stay here.

    Jordan and Whitney chatted casually.Most of the time, it was Jordan doing the talking while Whitney listened.After covering enough about the wedding, they talked about Jordan's work over the past few years.She also mentioned the tangled feelings and past with Westley.When she got to that part, she grew a little curious. "Whitney, before you married Caleb, did you ever like anyone?"Whitney shook her head."What about a secret crush?""Not even that."Whitney rarely talked to others about her past.Zachary only knew because he had looked into her and thought she was perfectly suited to be a pawn.And she had needed to become that pawn—to completely sever ties with her past, achieve her goals, and fulfill her ambitions."I was too busy studying and working to think about anything else."Jordan sensed she didn't want to go further, so she didn't press.Just then, Jane called, saying she and Charlotte would arrive soon and join them for lunch.She relayed the message to W

    "We had a meal together before, and I noticed you always seemed to like sweet dishes, so I tried buying some. I was worried it might not suit your taste.""It does, it does." Jordan took a bite of the pudding. "It's delicious. But did you buy anything you like to eat?"Whitney said, "I already had breakfast. I can't eat anymore."Jordan offered a suggestion, "Why not try a bite of this sponge cake? It's a specialty here in Nelana."Whitney really couldn't eat any more. She had a small appetite, a condition built up over the years.If she ate a full meal, she couldn't eat snacks afterward. And if she ate snacks, she would lose her appetite for meals.She had a small stomach.But seeing Jordan looking at her so expectantly, she still picked up a piece of sponge cake and took a bite."It's very good."Jordan smiled and took a big bite of the sponge cake herself."Whitney, you're so good at picking food! This is great!"The old house was a bit remote, but it had a rooftop terrac

    Jordan said Whitney would be coming over later.Westley hadn't expected that the first one to get out of bed would actually be Whitney."Just the two of you?" he asked."For now, yes."Jordan glanced at her phone. In the group chat, it was just her and Whitney talking—no response yet from Jane or Charlotte.She more or less knew why Jane hadn't responded, but Charlotte too?Still, it didn't really matter. There weren't any specific plans for today anyway.She hadn't known Whitney was coming, so it was a nice surprise."Maybe my sister will text me around noon. We can decide what to do then.""You." She pointed at Westley. "You are not allowed to show up in front of me again after breakfast."Westley nodded. "Got it."After buying food, Whitney told Caleb, "I'm going to find Jordan. You can go handle your stuff. I'll be staying at her place until the wedding."Caleb leaned against the elevator wall, his voice low and lazy. "You're telling me what to do?"Whitney wasn't in a

    She replied with an emoji, then looked for her girls in the group chat to ask them out for food.Their group chat had a new member now—Whitney.And it was Whitney who replied to her."I'm already eating at the hotel. Do you want to come over, or should I bring something to you later?"Whitney had actually had a good night's sleep.Though it was a bit later than her usual habit, she still managed to get up for breakfast.Before, it was always Caleb who brought breakfast to the bedside and fed her, because she simply couldn't get out of bed.Jordan figured she was probably having breakfast with Caleb and decided not to bother her."No need, I'll just eat something nearby. Your hotel isn't close to me."Whitney replied. "I'm heading over later anyway, but I'll probably be a bit late. If you're hungry, go ahead and eat something first. I'll bring you something else."Jordan. "Thanks."Whitney. "No problem."Caleb noticed her holding her phone, her expression much softer, even t

    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
