Chapter 704

Author: Lean
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

    But just as she passed by him, he grabbed her arm. Jane pulled back with all her strength but couldn't break free. Her brows knitted together, clearly annoyed, and her words were not pleasant. "Zachary, have you no shame?" Zachary had finished changing and was waiting outside. After a while, he felt that Nina had been inside for too long. Concerned something might be wrong, he walked in. As he reached the door, he overheard her saying she didn't like him anymore. In truth, he didn't even know what to say after grabbing her. And her words left him feeling completely lost. Lost… That word seemed never to have appeared in his life before. "Jane." After a long silence, he called her name softly. Jane's gaze was indifferent. "Zachary, don't make me feel that my past affection for you was something disgusting." Since he Indulged in his true loves actions, there was no need to feign concern for him. Zachary's jaw tightened slightly, and he couldn't he

    Westley knew why Zachary specifically mentioned these two things.Once the wedding was held, the whole world would know they were married.And once they had the child, he and Jordan would be very closely connected.Even if the hidden matters came to light, and there were issues between the Howard and Jackson families, it wouldn't be easy for Jordan to distance herself from him.But Westley didn't want to do that.He still needed to ask Jordan, and if she wanted to know, he would give her the choice.He had never really given her the power to choose before, he had always been forcing her into decisions."I'll notify you."Zachary didn't get involved in this matter and didn't say anything else.He first took Jordan and Westley back home.When they got out of the car, Jane said to Jordan, "Don't overthink it, this is all caused by the previous generation, it has nothing to do with us. If you keep thinking about it, aren't you punishing yourself for someone else's mistakes?"Jor

    But he always had doubts in his heart.He had thought it was just a professional habit.Now he realized, it might not be, and this could be another kind of warning — from Grandpa.Someone like him, who could cause trouble for the Jackson family, was really quite extraordinary."It'll be fine, trust me, okay?"Jordan turned to hug him, burying her head in his shoulder.Westley gently patted her back, offering silent comfort.When she fell asleep, he took his phone and went to the balcony.He called his father."What a surprise," said Jonathan. "But... there must be a reason why you’re calling me so late at night, right?"Westley held a cigarette in his hand but didn't light it.To be honest, he wasn't feeling certain either.Sometimes, it was actually better to stay a little confused."Dad, do you know about the Jackson family?"Jonathan was silent for a moment. "You want to ask about your grandfather and the Jackson family?""Yes.""I advise you not to know too much abo

    Jane also felt that finding out wouldn't mean anything. On the contrary, it might cause a fuss."Then we won't look into it. Let's just pretend we don't know anything."Jordan followed, "I agree with my sister."Zachary and Westley quickly exchanged a look.Westley agreed, saying they wouldn't investigate.But he was the kind of person who couldn't leave any potential risks, so he still needed to be clear about the cause and effect himself.Back at the Jackson family, Westley accompanied Calvin to play chess.Aunt Emily asked Zachary how things went.Zachary smiled faintly, replying, "It went well. No issues."Aunt Emily nodded. "Did both of them meet their grandma?""They did," said Zachary. "The two sisters took a peek, and I spoke with Calandra for a bit with Westley."Aunt Emily's gaze flickered. "What did you talk about?""Nothing much. Just some casual things." Zachary took out his phone. "Aunt Emily, I have a work call to make.""Go ahead and do what you have to."

    The friend who Elvis took a bullet for was the same person who had brought Jordan to the Howard family back then.Westley suddenly felt that something he had overlooked was becoming clear.Zachary also sensed that something was off and signaled him to continue speaking.Westley said, "That friend had been with my grandfather for many years, they passed away one after the other."Calandra's expression suddenly changed, and she tightly grasped Westley's hand.Westley's heart sank, but he didn't show any emotion on his face. He gently asked, "Grandma, are you feeling unwell?"Calandra suddenly pushed Westley away. "It's all your fault!""If you had helped, how could all of this have happened?" Then Calandra began crying. "If it weren't for necessity, how could I have done such things? How could I lose my daughter, my granddaughter?"Westley and Zachary exchanged a glance and looked at Ruth. "Ruth, help Grandma get some rest. If she needs medicine, give it to her.""Okay." Ruth ha

    The fact that Jordan resembled her mother was well known to everyone.She felt quite happy about it, but just as she was about to speak, the care worker’s words caused her to feel extremely upset."You look so much like her, so it's better if you don't go in."Jane patted Jordan's back, signaling her not to be upset.This wasn't her fault. It was beyond their control.Jordan shook her head, signaling that she was fine.Jane turned to the care worker and asked, "Can I go in then?"The care worker examined Jane closely and said, "You resemble your father a little, but thankfully, not as much as Mr. Jackson. However, I still suggest you don't go in. Even the slightest stimulus could be dangerous for someone who's sick."Jane hugged Jordan. "We really are sisters."Jordan gave a wry smile.Westley gently patted her head. "I'll go in first to take a look. Don't worry."He then turned to the care worker. "Take them to a warm place."The care worker led Jane and Jordan to enter fr

    Everything was discussed in the group chat."You're not going?"Jane glanced at her grandfather. There was a rift between him and her grandmother, so it wasn't very convenient. But Aunt Emily was her grandmother's biological daughter.Since their grandmother had already lost two daughters, she should cherish Aunt Emily and Aunt Orianna even more.Aunt Emily's face darkened slightly. "Your grandmother is ill, so I won't go this time. If you can't stand it, just come back immediately. It'll be fine."Jane comforted Aunt Emily. "It's fine, I'll handle it. I still have some confidence when it comes to easing relationships."Aunt Emily forced a smile. "There's no need to force it. We're happy that your grandmother can live this long, without any pain when she leaves. As daughters, we're also relieved."Jane was curious, but since this matter was painful for the Jackson family, she didn't ask further.Zachary and Westley arrived late and apologized to Aunt Emily and Calvin."It's fi

    "Do you think I'm stupid?" Jordan was no longer the fool she once was. "If we go down for breakfast in the morning, will they think we did something?"Westley smiled, hugging her and admitting his mistake. "I’m sorry, please don’t be mad.""You apologize every time, but you'll still do the same thing next time."Westley had originally thought that their real first time should be in the honeymoon suite.But the Jackson family's residence was hers, and it had been prepared for her from the beginning.He was indeed feeling tempted, but seeing how embarrassed she was, he decided to hold back.But then she insisted on getting close to him that night.It wasn't like he was impotent, how could he resist?"As for this matter, I didn’t do anything wrong. I’m apologizing because I love you.""Jordy."When he called her that, there was a sense of helplessness in his tone.Jordan also felt that she had overreacted.But in the Jackson family's residence with Westley... she really felt s

    Aunt Emily also felt awkward. "Jane, it's cold today..."Jane glanced at the time and felt it was about time.She then took Calvin and Aunt Emily back home.Aunt Emily personally went to cook for everyone. She was full of joy since Jane and Jordan returned.Jane first gave Calvin his medicine and, with some free time, played chess with him.She didn't know how to play at all, but Calvin was very patient and taught her bit by bit.At dinner, they finally saw Westley and Jordan.Jane noticed that Jordan clearly avoided eye contact, her cheeks flushed with a bit of redness, feeling embarrassed and shy.Westley, however, remained calm and composed, looking refreshed."Grandpa, dinner time." Jane put down her chess piece. "Let’s get Westley to play with you after dinner, he plays better than me. Otherwise, it's just boring here with me."Calvin was in a good mood. "It's fine, I enjoy playing with anyone."As long as they were all around, safe, happy, and healthy, he was fine with

    In the middle of it, Westley went outside to get some food to replenish Jordan.Jordan buried herself under the blanket, feeling extremely embarrassed.In the end, she had been the one to go back on her own words."Have something to eat."Westley pulled her out of the blanket, put his shirt on her, and carried her to the sofa.Jordan gave him a resentful look.Her pout clearly showed she was angry, but Westley only wanted to kiss her."Westley!"Jordan suddenly pushed him away. "You're so annoying."Westley handed her some cutlery. "Well, you can be mad at me all you want but you’ve got to eat something first."Jordan really was hungry. She hadn't eaten anything all morning and had used up a lot of energy.She turned her frustration into appetite.Westley ate a little too.Jordan's eyes darted around, hesitating to speak. "When you went downstairs earlier..."Westley knew what she wanted to ask, but pretended not to understand. "What do you mean?"Jordan glared at him. "
