"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

    Jane rolled her eyes at him.Zachary, however, let out a deep smile from his eyes."Have fun here. I have some things to take care of. We'll go to the banquet together tonight."Jane couldn't care less about him, waving her hand.Zachary patted her head before leaving.A young girl, smiling, teased, "You and your boyfriend have such a good relationship."Jane wanted to explain, but she didn't think it was necessary. Maybe she wouldn’t come to this place again. Even if she did, she could explain it next time.She smiled. "Could you teach me how to make the embroideries?"The girl happily agreed.Embroidery was indeed very time-consuming and mentally draining. Jane spent the whole day sitting there, embroidering, only getting up to eat or use the restroom.She learned a stitching technique and completed a small piece.When she stood up to stretch her stiff back and neck, she saw Zachary walking toward her."Did you have fun?"Jane tossed the piece of embroidery at him dismis

    It was as if he could hear her thoughts. “I only said it to you.”Jane pushed him. "Go sit across from me.""Isn't it better for me to sit next to you? If I sit opposite from you, you’ll lose your appetite."Sitting next to him would only lead to more physical contact, making her even less able to eat."Just sit across from me."Zachary obeyed, standing up and moving to the opposite side. He then filled her cup with some more tea."Be careful with the tea. It’s hot. Don’t burn yourself."The breakfast they had was satisfying.Jane didn’t want to spend more time with Zachary, so she planned to talk to Dominic about intangible cultural heritage and the national trend.But Zachary directly shoved her into the car.She couldn’t escape, so she turned her back to him, ignoring him.Zachary didn’t provoke her either. He sat beside her, focused on his tablet, looking at recent work arrangements.In the front seats, Raymond and Ross exchanged glances.Ross didn’t slow down while ta

    He didn’t even furrow his brows."If hitting me will make you feel better, go ahead and hit me. Just make sure I’m still alive after you’re done. That way, I’ll still be able to make arrangements for you if someone bullies you."Jane snorted coldly. "You’re the one who’s bullying me.""Well, I admit that." His gaze burned with intensity as he looked at her. "I can’t live without you."Jane sneered. "Oh, so because you can’t live without me, you bully me?""How can having sex be seen as bullying you?"‘He’s so annoying.’Jane didn’t want to talk about these ambiguous topics with him."Let go, I need to wash up."Zachary released her, but Jane, still irritated, kicked him.Zachary, however, seemed to be in a great mood.Once she finished her makeup and changed clothes, they went out to eat together.As Zachary introduced Nelana to her, Jane became more and more upset."You know so much about Nelana, you must have already arranged everything in advance. So, last night, you we

    The phone was still turned off.But even though she was angry, Jane knew that Zachary wasn’t crazy enough to take someone’s life just because he was upset.She figured he just didn’t want her to contact Dominic tonight.She would call him tomorrow instead.However, when she woke up, she didn’t expect Dominic to be the one calling her first."Are you okay?"They both spoke at the same time.After saying that, both of them laughed.Dominic was still a little dazed. "Do you know what happened to me?""After I paid the bill yesterday, two tall and burly men in black suits dragged me into a car, and I passed out right away. I woke up this morning, having slept on the floor all night. My neck was sore from sleeping on the ground, and I think I might be catching a cold. Achoo—"Jane cursed Zachary inwardly.How petty! What was wrong with putting Dominic on his bed?"One of my friends is a weirdo, sorry for the trouble."Dominic sniffed. "It wasn’t too bad. By the way, is he your

    Knock knock—There was a knock at the door.Zachary stood up to open it.Raymond handed him a chicken pizza.He sensed that the atmosphere wasn’t quite right and, gathering some courage, she asked, "Sir, you didn’t have anything for dinner. Should I have the hotel bring something over?"Zachary nodded and mentioned a few dishes.Raymond agreed and went to instruct the hotel.He happened to run into Ross on his way back and they chatted."I have no idea what Miss Greenwood might want. Mr. Collins doesn’t even know what he likes to eat himself, but he remembers what she likes."Ross, eating a sandwich, said, "Doesn’t Mr. Collins like roast chicken?"He remembered that when Miss Greenwood brought food to the Mr. Collins’s house last time, she had mentioned it.Raymond shot him a look. "You’re a blockhead. That’s what Miss Greenwood likes. Now, the things that Mr. Collins like are because they’re what Miss Greenwood likes."Ross blinked. "Oh."Raymond was rendered speechless.

    Jane said, "This is not something you should be doing.""I caused the injury, so I should be the one to handle it.""I'll do it myself!"Zachary held her hands, "You can't see the injury, you have long nails as well. What if you hurt yourself again? I think I should apply the medicine."Jane felt helpless."Zachary, I’ll just ask you one thing, can you understand what I’m saying?""I’ve already ordered pizza. It’ll be delivered soon."‘As expected, he doesn’t understand what I said,’ thought Jane.Jane was no match for Zachary in terms of strength or words, so she ended up crying.Zachary stopped.Jane immediately broke free from his hands and sat on the other side of the bed."Do you only feel happy when you see me in pain?"Zachary pursed his lips. "No.""Then why do you insist on forcing me to do things I don't want to do? I’m a person, not some item that you can do whatever you want to.""Is that how you see me?" Zachary looked at her, his eyes darkened slightly. "I l

    "I was just handling some matters, but I can't tell you. Please understand."Jane seemed to believe him and nodded. "I see."Raymond also nodded. "That's right."Jane smiled. "You were handling matters, but what about the others?""They also have their own matters to deal with.""So..." Jane’s gaze suddenly became sharp. "You all went off to work, but there's no one guarding the hotel entrance? Aren’t you worried that while he’s in bed with me, his enemies might come and kill him? After all, the bed is when a man is most vulnerable. You’re a man, so you should understand that, right?"For a moment, Raymond seemed distracted, as if he had seen his Mr. Collins casually asking him what mistake he had made.Then, with a cold tone, he would be sent off to Afrealia, just like Roy.The more you say, the more mistakes you make. He stopped explaining and simply said."Miss Greenwood, it’s not safe outside. You should stay in the hotel and wait for Mr. Collins."Jane didn’t believe the

    He placed the pillow behind her waist and asked gently, "What do you want to eat? I’ll have someone prepare it."Jane glared at him and said, "Get out!"Zachary took her hand and said, "There’s a banquet tomorrow. Come with me."Jane pulled her hand back and replied coldly, "You’re really sick.""Yes, and you’re the reason I”m sick."Jane raised her hand, intending to hit him. "Get out!"Zachary grabbed her wrist and smiled.Jane felt that he was seriously ill and decided it was better to just leave.But as soon as she lifted the blanket, a cold wind blew, and she quickly pulled it back up."Turn around!"Her teeth were clenched in anger, wishing she could bite him.Zachary's gaze slid over her body. "What are you hiding?""I..."Jane covered his mouth. "Don’t be such a pervert."Zachary held her hand. "The banquet tomorrow has to do with the purpose of your trip. Are you really not going?""How do you know what I came here for?"Zachary didn’t answer, just looked at he

    Annie saw the red marks on his neck as he moved.There was also a bite mark on his Adam's apple.Both marks told her of the wildness he had shared with Jane just moments ago.The thing she feared most had happened."And not even a day apart," Zachary said again, his voice was cold enough to send shivers down one’s spine.Annie met his sharp gaze, instinctively taking a step back.But then she felt it was wrong and moved forward to stand in front of him."What are you saying? I don’t understand," she said, reaching out to grab his arm.Zachary turned sideways to avoid her, and Ross immediately restrained Annie, kicking her in the knee and forcing her to kneel on the ground."Zachary!"Annie had never been so humiliated before.Since childhood, everyone had always revolved around her.She was given everything she wanted.Without speaking, people would rush to her, handing her things that were close to her heart.Zachary was no different, he had been delivered to her by her
