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

    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
