Chapter 703

Author: Lean
"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

    If it were a lemon she was eating, I could have barely believed the bacteria-killing claim. However, I didn't say much and sat down to give those two some space to act. Before I even got comfortable, Frank returned. "That was quick. Have you finished a cigarette already?" "I quit, you know that." Frank took my hand, seeking praise. "I didn't sneak any, you can smell me." As he leaned closer, I raised my hand to block him and quietly asked, "What did you say to Zachary?" Frank replied, "I didn't say anything." I was surprised. "Then why did you tell me to come back to my seat first?" Frank answered matter-of-factly, "What if we hit turbulence? It's safer for you to sit down." I was both amused and exasperated. On the other side, Zachary sat down in his seat. His position was diagonally in front of Jane, allowing him to see their interactions clearly. A tight knot of frustration built up in his chest, making him restless. He had already undone two buttons on his

    I nodded, "Then you two be careful." "Don't worry, Charlotte. I'll protect Jane," Michael promised, raising his hand. I was about to respond with a polite smile when Frank pushed me into the car. Just before the door closed, I heard Jane tell Michael, "Don't smile too brightly at Charlotte in the future, her husband gets jealous over everything." Michael nodded obediently. "Okay, I understand." I was rendered speechless. The car left the airport and arrived at the hotel after about half an hour. The security guard came forward to park the car and take the luggage. I took the child from my mom's hands. "Mom, you've worked hard today." "It wasn't hard at all, I didn't have much to do. Plus, watching Sparrow makes me happy." "We'll have dinner in the hotel room later. Just take a little break, and I'll take care of the child tonight." My mom glanced at Frank. "I can manage, just hand her over to me once you're done feeding." I shook my head. "I'll give her to you t

    I chuckled and reached out to pat his arm, "If I said I liked…" "You'd better not say the next word." Frank's lips clearly pressed down. I fell onto the bed laughing. Frank came around, not giving me a chance to react, and captured my laughter with a kiss. He kissed fiercely, and when I tried to break free, I couldn't push him away at all. The sound of the kiss filled my ears, and I felt utterly embarrassed. Our daughter was still right there! "Fra… Frank…" My broken voice spilled out, but it didn't stop him, if anything, it egged him on further. "Sparrow is here!" I yelled in a panic just as the doorbell rang. "Hello, Mr. Smith, your meal has arrived." Frank looked down, and I followed his gaze. I got up to tidy my clothes and went to the bathroom to fix my hair in the mirror. "Hello, Mrs. Smith." The waiter greeted me with professionalism. After setting down the meal and saying, "Enjoy your meal," he left. I breathed a sigh of relief and went to the be

    It was already winter in Jeswood, and this honeymoon was chosen for a place with suitable temperatures. It was not close to the end of the year yet, so it wasn't the peak tourist season here, when Jane arrived at the seaside, there weren't many people. But that didn't stop her from having a great time. Since she was already out, no matter the purpose, the beautiful scenery and delicious food should not be wasted. "Jane, you go get changed first, I'll buy you some iced coconut water." "Okay." Jane nodded and turned to enter the changing room. Just as she finished changing, someone came in, and she didn't look closely while tidying her clothes. But when the person got closer, she caught a faint scent of jasmine. This scent was also present when Zachary was near her. However, Zachary's scent mixed with fir, while this one was very pure. Pulling up her zipper, she walked out without glancing at the person. But the person stood in front of her. "The Colli

"Do you always talk in a way that pokes others' pain points?"Jonathan smiled for a moment. "If you've done it, don't be afraid of people talking about it."Westley didn't want to continue the conversation and stood up to leave.He went to the kitchen to find Jordan and found her eating ravioli."Didn't you say you'd help?" Westley sat next to her. "How come you're eating secretly? Give me a bite?"Jordan guarded the food. "It’s in the kitchen. There's still plenty in the pot.""But I want to eat from your bowl.""But I don't want to give you any."Westley laughed. "Okay."But while Jordan took a bite of the ravioli, he kissed her.Jordan's eyes widened as she felt the ravioli in her mouth being stolen away."You're disgusting."Westley smiled. "Sweet."Jordan couldn't eat anymore and pushed the remaining ravioli to him. "I'm not eating anymore."

    Now that she had remarried him, this was also her home, and there was no need to tidy up anymore."Really?" Westley turned her around. "It'll be troublesome to go to another room and come back for something later.""What do you mean?" Jordan felt like she didn't understand his words today. "Just spill it already."Westley nodded seriously. "Okay, I'll spill it. We're married now. From now on, when we come back here, we'll sleep together. If you don't tidy up and pack your things, there won't be anything for you in my room."Jordan understood. She suddenly smiled and patted his shoulder. "Who said that after marriage, we have to sleep in the same bed? If there's nothing of mine in your room, I'll sleep in my own room. It's not like you only have one room."Westley laughed. "Okay, you're being naughty now."Jordan replied, "You become like the people you spend time with."She finished speaking and ran off.She went to the kitchen to see Miranda and offer to help.Miranda told he

    "What is there to prepare?" Westley sat down with Jordan. "They're not strangers."Miranda gave her a glare and handed Jordan some fruit. "Look at me, still wearing my pajamas...""Jordy, it's not that I don't care about you. It's just that Westley didn't say anything, and you two... we also didn't want to ask too much. Wait for me to change into something proper. What would you like to eat? I'll personally cook for you."Jordan quickly stopped her. "No need, we're so familiar with each other already, Mom."Miranda froze, then after a long pause, she grasped Jordan's hand, wiping her tears as she said, “Okay.”Jordan gave Westley a look, and he handed her a tissue.She wiped Miranda's tears. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you worry.""It's our fault," Miranda patted her hand. "We never thought that Westley would do that.""You two grew up together and had a great relationship. We always thought, when we're gone, he'll be able to love you and take care of you well on our beha

    Jordan asked him, "You finished so quickly?""Why does it sound like you're unhappy that I came over?""No, it's just that your meetings used to take quite a long time."Westley casually ruffled her hair.Jordan wasn't happy. "You messed up my hairstyle!"Westley chuckled softly. "You're just had your hair down. Is it even styled?""You don't understand.""Alright, I don't understand."Westley pulled her back to the bedroom.Jordan wasn't happy. When they were going upstairs, he carried her back to the room."Do you really like kids that much?"Jordan put her hands against him to stop him from getting any closer."What, can't I like kids now? Henry and Sparrow are so cute."Westley caught both her hands and pinned them down. "Then should we have one too?"Jordan struggled. "Who said I want to have one with you?""Then who do you want to have one with?"Jordan kicked him with her leg. "Get off me."Westley bent down and asked, "Afraid of the pain?""Yes." Jordan was pi

    Jordan didn't really know—she had only come here to escape.Now, there wasn't much left to escape from.If it weren't for wanting to spend a few more days with Jane and the others, she would have already been ready to go back to work.Westley saw that she had been thinking for a long time without speaking and asked, "So, are you coming with me to the theme park, or playing with those two kids?"Jordan almost forgot—there were two adorable children here."Then I'll play with the kids.""What, still think I'm too old?"Jordan gave him a playful glare. "Stop bringing that up all the time. Don't think you can keep me trapped with that topic."Westley asked, "Then why not come to the theme park with me?""Weren't you the one who gave me the choice?"Jordan gave a soft snort. "If you only want one answer, then next time give me just one option.""Alright." Westley looked at her with eyes full of affection. "Whatever you say goes.""I've got a meeting—you go play with the kids."

    It felt very unreal.It felt like she was dreaming."Will you marry me?""Huh?"Jordan was completely dazed, thinking she would hear him say a lot of touching words.But in the end, all she heard were just those simple words."Are you... talking?"Westley nodded. "Yes. Will you marry me?"For a moment, Jordan truly wanted to throw the flowers at his face.But then she remembered her conversation with Charlotte.And she felt that Charlotte had a point.They were already married, yet Westley still wanted to give her a sense of ceremony.Even if he didn't say any romantic lines, she wouldn't be able to refuse his proposal now.With that thought in mind, she reached out her hand."I will!"Westley slipped the ring onto her finger, stood up, and hugged her.Jordan heard him whisper softly in her ear. "I'm really nervous. It's my first time doing something like this, so I don’t know what to say—I was afraid I'd cry. Give me a little grace. Whatever you want to hear, I'll say

    "Okay."Jordan started to feel something was off. "Charlotte, I remember you didn't like the smell of cigarettes. Didn't Frank stop smoking after being with you?"Charlotte responded calmly, "Not really. If I didn't like the smell of cigarettes, I wouldn't have gotten along with Jane for so many years. She was already smoking when I first met her. Also, Frank didn't stop smoking just because he was with me. It was only later, when I was pregnant and feeling unwell, that he stayed by my side and simply forgot about it. Men have a lot of work pressure too. If he smokes now and out of my sight, I think I should try to understand that. That's what being a couple means."Jordan was persuaded. "Yeah, I guess you’re right. There should be mutual understanding. I do act a bit spoiled sometimes."Charlotte said, "When I talk about understanding, I don't mean compromise. If there's something you really can't accept, it still needs to be discussed between the two of you."Jordan was confused

    "Wow."Jane and Charlotte stood at the doorway, watching with great interest.It was quite the appetizing show.Zachary and Frank, on the other hand, weren't interested, and headed to the yard to set up the grill.Frank chatted casually with him. "He's been proving himself for two days now—why do you keep poking at his age? He even made you bleed."Zachary said, "I did it for the greater good. Look at them now, kissing like they can't bear to part."Frank cocked his brows and said nothing in response.Jordan overheard Jane and Charlotte's voices.Her face turned completely red from embarrassment.She couldn't push Westley away, so she had no choice but to bite him.When he relaxed his grip, she took the chance to run.She didn't even dare glance at Jane and Charlotte at the door.Back in her room, she buried herself under the blanket.So embarrassing.Downstairs, Jane and Charlotte, satisfied with the show, headed to the yard.Westley, meanwhile, went upstairs.Sure eno

    'What was that?'Jordan truly had nothing in her head but confusion.She had just been teased by Jane outside.She thought that since she hadn't come downstairs in the past couple of days, everyone already knew—Westley was... not impotent.Why was Frank saying things like that now?"Frank, what are you talking about?""Nothing."Frank left the kitchen and sat next to Charlotte.After Jane finished tending to Zachary's wound, she even fed him some food.The man held his wife in his arms and asked in a low voice, "All your friends are bringing their husbands food. Why aren't you doing the same?"Charlotte smiled. "That's because Jane took a bite and didn't like it. She thought it would be wasteful, so she gave it to Zachary."Frank played with her hand and asked, "Is there nothing you don't like to eat?""Nope."In the kitchen—Jordan sensed that Westley was upset. She reached out and hugged him, asking, "Did Zachary and the others tease you?"Westley finished handling wha
