Chapter 695

Author: Lean
Upon returning to Region Gardens, Frank led me toward the bed.

"It's still not dark outside!"

I felt a bit shy and pushed him away with all my might.

Frank held my hands down. "Today is our wedding. Everyone knows what that means..."

I caught the evident desire in his eyes and couldn't help but glare at him.

He continued, "Besides, Mom is in the children's room playing with the kids. No one will disturb us."

I was no match for his strength and was completely under his control.

I couldn't break free or stop him.

Feeling embarrassed, I needed to think of a way to stall for time.

"Let's not discuss Jane and Zachary, but there is something we need to talk about."

Frank's expression remained focused as he asked, "Mom and Jason?"

I nodded.

Initially, my mom had agreed, and I invited Jason to the wedding.

However, upon hearing my arrangements, Jason politely declined. "We can't overshadow your wedding. Dancing and singing are fine, but your mom can take the stage to speak, I won'

    He was born into such a harsh family and was an only child, bearing a tremendous responsibility.The path of his upbringing was filled with hardships.From a young age, he clearly knew what he wanted, and his personality was thus steady and aloof.At that time, even when he expressed his feelings, he remained calm and composed.However, before anything could happen, his grandfather sent her abroad.He said it was for her development, to help her learn more.In reality, he just wanted to separate her from Zachary.After years apart, everything changed as they grew up.But when she returned home and visited him in the hospital, his attitude toward her remained unchanged.Although indifferent, there was a unique gentleness about him.She thought that even his grandfather's actions wouldn't affect that.Previously, he was too young to fully control his life.Now that he had grown up, he was gradually taking over the Collins family.At that time, with power in his hands, no one

    "I was more honest than you about this."Nina was not angry, her smile seemed glued to her face.Her tone remained gentle. "Tonight, let them resolve the previous misunderstanding. Tomorrow night, we can just let them have a new misunderstanding."Outside, the owner of the escape room watched the surveillance footage and said to a nearby employee, "These two are really bold. The ghost have been trying to scare them for a while, and they're still calmly chatting together."The car drove into the underground car park. Before it had even come to a complete stop, Jane was ready to open the door and get out.Zachary reached out a large hand and pressed down on her, "If you want to talk in the car, I'm here for it.""You really have issues," Jane replied coldly.The driver wisely slipped away.Zachary asked her, "Upstairs or here?"Jane lifted her leg to kick him. "Neither. I don't want to talk to you. Just breathing the same air as you makes me feel sick."Especially the faint sce

    "Fine."When good words didn't work, he started to threaten her.Jane was so angry that her teeth itched. She ground her teeth and said, "There won't be any unpleasantness between them. Frank will always stand firmly by Charlotte. As soon as I tell Charlotte about your shameless behavior, Frank will surely find a way to make you unable to do anything."Zachary, however, smirked. "Just in time. I've been bored lately. Let Frank and your best friend skip their honeymoon and come to spar with me, so they can focus on serious matters."Jane felt defeated.Not defeated by Zachary, but by Frank.If Zachary really engaged Frank in a business battle, the city would be thrown into chaos.At that point, Charlotte would definitely worry.They had just gotten married, because she couldn't enjoy her life properly, she felt guilty.But she held her ground verbally. "You really are a good friend to Frank."Zachary didn't take it to heart. He brushed Jane's disheveled hair and said, "Can we

    Zachary hadn't really heard her previous words. He also didn't catch the latter part clearly.Faintly, it seemed he heard the word "want."He pressed her wandering hands down and spoke again, his voice already thick with desire, "If you could just speak properly, I wouldn't have to do this."‘Oh, now it’s my fault too.’Jane took the opportunity to bite his Adam's apple.Zachary's grip on her waist tightened suddenly, causing her to gasp in pain.She unhappily said, "Let go."Zachary pulled her tighter into his embrace, resting his chin on her shoulder.It seemed like he sighed in resignation, but Jane detected a faint hint of triumph in it."If you keep this up, I'll just take it as you've forgiven me and that you like me."‘Listen to this ridiculous logic. It was no wonder his family was involved in both politics and business,’ thought Jane.After cursing him inwardly, Jane continued where he left off, "I get it now. Mr. Collins just enjoys the feeling of me chasing after

    Zachary was quite surprised when she pinched his mouth shut.His usual calm and indifferent demeanor was nowhere to be seen.Jane held his mouth tightly, looking at him coldly. "Mr. Collins, you may have power and influence, but if you continue to harass me, then a person who has nothing to lose won’t be afraid of anything. Even if it costs me my life, I will make you pay the price."This was not what Zachary wanted.Hearing her say she liked someone else caused a fire to surge in his chest, wildly crashing around.He couldn't control himself.At that moment, he had only one thought and that was to silence her irritating mouth.Now that he had calmed down a bit, he recalled the hurtful things he had said earlier.At that time, Jane probably wanted to sew his mouth shut."I've let you scold me," he said, removing her hand from his mouth. "Aren't you done venting your anger? Tell me what would make you feel better?”Jane's expression was indifferent. "I already told you, didn’t

    "I told the security guard to let you in."Michael had actually prepared himself for Jane to refuse.He was also ready for her to end their casual relationship.When he received her message telling him to come in, he was overjoyed, spinning around where he stood.With the security guard's confirming gaze, he entered Jane's community, heading toward her building.Meanwhile, Zachary received the news that Michael had entered Jane's home.He couldn't sit still for a moment, grabbing his coat and heading out.However, when he opened the door, he came face to face with the thinly dressed Nina."Zachary..."Zachary paused slightly but still draped his coat over her shoulders, not allowing her to enter. He asked, "What's wrong?"Nina and Michael had discussed their plan at the escape room.But they had received news that Jane had left Zachary's place.She thought that the two would have resolved their misunderstanding and would be stuck together.They were both adults, and Jane w

    Nina rolled her eyes. If he didn't come in, then wouldn’t she just fall for nothing? It was really painful. She continued in a crying tone, "Zachary, can I no longer paint in the future? My arm can't even move... Boohoo, Zachary, if I can't paint anymore, how will I live..." Zachary could only say, "With me around, you won't starve, and besides, you haven't seen a doctor yet, don't scare yourself, it'll be fine." It really was like talking to a wall. Nina was nearly infuriated. Just when she wanted to continue coaxing Zachary to come in, she heard someone outside say, "Mr. Collins, the doctor has arrived." ‘Great. Today's suffering was all for nothing.’But it was fine, Nina suppressed her anger and began to think of other strategies. "How is it?" Zachary stood aside, avoiding the gaze that fell inside, and after the female doctor went in for a while, he asked. The female doctor replied honestly, "It's a bit serious, she needs to be sent to the hospital f

    "Zachary..." Her tone was pitiful and choked with emotion. "I never meant to trouble you, but I have no family left. If you don't have time to stay with me, I'll have to rely on my godmother to take care of me. I don't want to be alone without someone close by during this time. Even though it's a small injury, I'm still very scared. I don't like being alone in the hospital, you know that."Nina returned to the country because her grandfather was critically ill. Not long ago, she had been in the hospital taking care of him, and that was how she ended up in his ward. Her grandfather had been a driver for Sir Collins all his life. Moreover, Sir Collins had sent her abroad for such a long time, keeping her separated from her grandfather, so they hadn't had the chance to spend time together. Thus, he arranged for her to receive treatment in a VIP room. Just a few days later, her grandfather passed away. Nina had already gone through a lot while abroad, and now, sending he

    "They've gone through so much and still haven't reconciled!"The captain didn't even open his eyes and said, "Go run 10km."Jordan thought she wouldn't be able to sleep after everything that happened.But in the end, she drifted off in a daze.In her hazy state, it seemed as if something brushed against the corner of her eye, wiping away her tears.The next morning, when she woke up, the room was completely empty, leaving only her.She immediately went out to look for Westley.There was no sign of Buck, who was always by his side.She grabbed someone nearby and asked, "Where's Westley?"The subordinate replied, "Mr. Howard left last night. I'm not sure about his specific itinerary. Please understand, Mrs. Howard."Westley's schedule was always kept confidential.It was only known when he actually appeared at an event.The only one who might know was Buck.But she couldn't get in touch with him either.Just as she was about to call Westley, another call came in.Seeing th

    Her lips were suddenly covered by his cool ones.She widened her eyes in shock.Using all her strength, she pushed him away."What are you doing?""Isn't this what you said? We’re even, aren’t we?"Westley replied unhurriedly, "You kissed me just now, and now I've kissed you. That makes us even."‘What?’Jordan was at a loss for words to describe her feelings at that moment.So, when her slap landed on Westley's face, she didn't even realize what she had done.The man's face tilted slightly from the impact.Even Westley hadn't expected it. He was momentarily stunned, then pressed his tongue against his left cheek.His face showed no particular emotion, but the faint trace of amusement in his eyes hadn't completely faded.Seeing this, Jordan felt a chill run down her spine.It would have been better if he hadn't smiled."Well, uh... it's because you started it... I didn't mean to... If you hadn't gone too far, I wouldn't have hit you..."After she stammered her explanatio

    "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.

    “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
