Chapter 699

Author: Lean
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

    I couldn't bear to recall what happened yesterday, even through the screen, I felt my face heating up. At the same time, I was puzzled about how he seemed to be in such good spirits. After all, he was the one who had put in the effort. Just as I was about to reply, the doorbell rang. I got up to open the door and saw Jane's expression. Quickly, I sent a message to Frank and pulled Jane into the dining room to sit down. "You haven't eaten yet, right?" I served her some oat porridge. Frank noticed her perfunctory reply, and knew that Jane had arrived. He didn't reply to Charlotte’s message and continued with the meeting. The senior executives understood that their CEO was newly married and would be a bit clingy. Besides, even if they didn't understand, no one dared suggest that Frank shouldn't look at his phone during a meeting. At Region Gardens.Jane took the oat porridge from me but didn't drink it, propping her face up wearily. I picked up a spoon

    Frank showed no surprise at all. Just a few minutes earlier, Charlie had sent a picture in the group chat. Nina was injured and hospitalized, and Zachary was by her side, their hands clasped together. Charlie, who was at the hospital, didn't forget to tag Frank. "What a pity, so close. If this happened earlier, you wouldn’t have won the bet so easily." His mind was so dull that even a pig would shake its head in disbelief. Frank couldn't be bothered to reply but sent a private message to Zachary instead. That message from his wife was meant for this, as a devoted husband, how could he not cooperate? When Zachary's phone vibrated, he thought it was a group message. Seeing Charlie unresponsive, he took it out to check. It was a message from Frank. "You haven't even managed to smooth things over? My wife just told me that Jane will be bringing Michael with us on our honeymoon. She also said if things go well with Michael, they might even get married." The wor

    Michael also noticed and hurriedly got up. Before I could speak, I heard my mom call him. "Michael." Michael stopped in his tracks. My mom was his idol in the entertainment industry and had a close relationship with Jason. Jason took good care of him on set. So, he bowed slightly and humbly asked, "Is there something you need from me?" My mom gestured for him to sit down. "To support Jane in acting, it's not enough just to perform like this." I abruptly turned my head to look at her. My mom continued, "I've been acting for so many years, and besides, I've seen people in love during my life." I gave her a thumbs up. My mom swatted my hand away and went on talking to Michael. "Wait two or three minutes before you go over. It's best to wait for Jane to call you." "If you go now, they haven't even started fighting yet, so your chance to be the hero saving the beauty won't be as thrilling." Michael said that cooperating in acting was merely an excuse t

    That kiss… It could not even be called a kiss, it was more like a bite. Jane's lips stung, and her mouth was filled with a faint sweet and fishy taste. ‘This bastard!’He had bitten her hard enough to break the skin! She was not someone who would just take it, and she immediately thought of biting back. However, he anticipated her move, pinching her cheeks and forcing her mouth open. As her breath grew shallow, the door behind her was knocked on. "Jane!" It was Michael's voice. Jane wanted to respond, but there was no space to move. Zachary only allowed her a brief moment to breathe. She could only let out a whimper. Michael could not hear Jane's response and knocked frantically on the door. The staff members who accompanied him came to check the situation, and Michael urged them to open the bathroom door. The staff had to seek permission, after all, they could not offend anyone on the plane. "Sir, please calm down. For everyone's safety, do not engage in

    "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
