Chapter 712

Author: Lean
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

    I pressed down on his hand, which was exploring further, my breath starting to become erratic. I struggled to speak, my words coming out in fragmented bursts. "I'm talking to you… Frank! Don't… no, um…" As night fell, the sea breeze was cool. But the floor-to-ceiling window was fogged up. When my hand slid down, it was covered by a broad palm, our fingers intertwined as he pressed them back against the window. "Eek—" It was Sparrow's sudden noise that hit the pause button. Instinctively, I pulled away from Frank's embrace and ran to the crib. Sparrow had woken up, playing with her little feet, being unusually well-behaved and not crying at all. When she saw me, she smiled, making little sounds as if trying to talk to me. My heart softened immediately, I reached out to poke her cheek and hurried to the bathroom to wash up. When I came out, Frank was blocking the door. I took a step back to let him through, clearing my throat a bit nervously. "Um, i

    I poked Frank in back of his waist. He glanced at me without much emotion. I couldn't help but feel amused. ‘So childish.’He kept on play with this little game of pretending to be angry, waiting for me to coax him. When we arrived at the restaurant, Jane and the others were already seated. It was a long table. Jane and Michael sat at one end, while Zachary and Nina were at the other. Nina held an ice pack, trying to place it on Zachary's face, but he turned his head away. The lighting was dim on this side, so I couldn't see clearly, but it seemed like the sides of Zachary's face were different. The left side looked a bit swollen. I sat down next to Jane and asked, "Did you hit him again?" Jane nodded. "He never listened, so I had to resort to violence." I rubbed my forehead. Michael was nearby, smiling innocently at me, making it hard for me to say much. "You handle it yourself, but if it really doesn't work out, let me know." Jane waved her han

    After all, they were friends.Jane's eyes sparkled mischievously. "You're just worried about Frank."I shot her a sidelong glance. "No, I'm concerned about you. If he goes crazy, you’ll definitely be hurt."Jane clinked her wine glass against my juice. I could only drink juice while breastfeeding. "If I need your help, I'll let you know." "Okay." While we were talking, Michael had already cut the steak, even arranging it into a heart shape on a plate for Jane. "Hey, Jane, don't just drink, eat something too. You don't want to have an upset stomach." "Okay." Jane picked up her cutlery to eat, and Michael cut some roast meat. I couldn't help but sigh at the scene, but then I heard Frank's cool voice beside me. "Jealous?" Before I could respond, he added, "You make it look like I haven’t done the same for you. What's there to be jealous of?" I gave him a light shove and placed some food on his place. As I placed the food in his plate, I asked, "Satisfie

    "Eat up."Zachary had a moment of impulsiveness and handed her the steak, then also peeled a crab and a lobster for her.Jane and I watched the whole thing and exchanged a glance.Jane texted me. "Did you see that? She's provoking me."I replied, "Did it ignite your competitive spirit?"Jane said, "If she had come back a while ago, maybe I wouldn't have been so preoccupied. I just wanted to enjoy my vacation."I could tell Jane hadn't completely let go of Zachary, otherwise, she wouldn't be acting here with Michael. She would have long since turned fiction into reality.With her fiery personality, if she really liked him, she would have made a move by now."Charlotte."Hearing the voice, I looked at my mom. "What is it, Mom?""I finished eating with Jason. We're taking a stroll, and Sparrow is with us. You two take your time eating."I nodded. "Okay."Jane also stood up and waved at Michael. "We're leaving."Michael, like a cute puppy, hurriedly approached his owner and ci

    They didn't leave their seats to watch the fireworks, they did it to give Charlotte and Frank a moment alone.Just then, Jane also wanted to go back and rest, she felt a bit tired after a long day."Jane, do you want to see farther?" Although Jane wasn't drunk, she had drunk enough for her mind to feel a bit hazy.She asked, "How far can we see?"Michael bent down and lifted Jane onto his shoulders.Jane gasped in surprise, and once she stabilized herself, excitement followed, lighting up her smile like a blooming flower.She let down her tied-up long hair, shaking it out, her alcohol-tinged eyes looking particularly enchanting.She patted Michael's head and shouted, "Speed up!"Michael laughed in response and immediately took big strides forward.His height was 6.07 feet, he effortlessly carried Jane, who was also taller than average among girls.They stood out in the crowd like a striking landscape.Good-looking couples attracted the scattered tourists' attention, and so

    Because she turned around and didn't see Zachary's figure.The elevator ascended, and Michael kept talking to her.But she felt a headache and so her replies were that sincere.However, Michael didn't mind and kindly helped her back to her room.He guided her to sit on the sofa and went to get her some water.Then he made her bed while he took a blanket to sleep on the sofa in the living room.Suddenly, Jane felt as if she had sobered up. She said, "Michael, I don't want to act anymore."A lengthy silence ensued.Michael stood in place with the blanket, looking at Jane.But his eyes were filled with grievance.Jane rubbed her face. "I really appreciate it. You've been very good to me, but our relationship can't progress further, so I don't want to hold you back. Your job is acting, you don't need to do that in real life. Just be yourself."Michael tightened his grip on the blanket, his lips moved slightly.He wanted to ask why but felt it unnecessary.The answer was alread

    When Jane went to the front desk to check in, she was informed that Frank had booked the entire floor.They handed her the room keys for the other rooms directly.She twitched her lips a few times, silently cursing Frank for being a scheming fox.He was intentionally avoiding any mention of her drama with Zachary, probably because he and Charlotte needed to resolve their little conflict tonight.Ding—Lost in her thoughts, the elevator arrived.Jane stepped out.She specifically asked the front desk for a room key that was in the opposite direction from Michael's.As she was about to swipe her card, a familiar male voice suddenly called out.Even though she recognized it, it still startled her."Why did you get a room by yourself?"He was truly relentless.Jane regretted ever putting on this act.The only satisfying part had been giving him two slaps.Taking a deep breath, she turned around. "Mr. Collins, can't you sleep at this hour? Have you come just to haunt me?"At

    He also knew why things had turned out this way.Because he was the one who had caused the situation today."You just need to tell me what will make you feel better."Jane smiled, but it was merely a slight curve of her lips, her beautiful face showed no hint of joy."Mr. Collins, why seek a fight with me when you have such a considerate and gentle childhood sweetheart?" Even if Zachary was clever, he couldn't understand how the topic suddenly shifted to Nina."I only have a bit of an emotional connection with her from growing up together, it's hardly enough to call her a childhood sweetheart, let alone a true love. Who told you that?"Jane couldn't possibly keep this from Charlotte, so Frank would explain the truth to Charlotte.It was impossible for Frank to have created this misunderstanding.He hadn't considered that Nina was involved in this.Initially, he thought he and Jane had drifted apart because of the hurtful things he had said, and now, if he was suffering, it w

    Westley waited for a moment, and after Jane and Zachary went inside, a few seconds later, Jordan ran out.She waved at him. "Westley!"Westley glanced at Nathan, then picked up the gifts and went inside."Hurry up and come inside. It’s cold outside."Jordan reached out to help him with the things, but he refused."I can handle it, it's heavy. You have grease on your hands too."Jordan wiped off the snowflakes on his shoulder. "Have you been waiting for a while?"Westley nodded. "Nathan is making things right for you two. Giving a little warning."Jordan glanced back secretly, asking softly, "What did he do to trouble you?""It's fine." Westley smiled slightly. "Just stood outside a bit longer."Jordan nodded and handed him his slippers.Nathan was behind them, watching the pair of them, the corner of his lips twitching.No one knew what he was thinking at that moment.Zachary had entered a few seconds before Westley, and he was already blending in well with the members of

    Because the memorial was rushed, some of the gifts couldn't be bought straightaway.Aunt Orianna had a lot to say, but she didn't rush it. She allowed them to get some rest firstShe went to prepare for the evening's "big meal" with Aunt Emily.Jordan wanted to sleep with Jane.The two of them lay down in bed.They still felt a bit dazed."I really didn't expect we'd be sisters," said Jordan. "I didn't expect we'd be part of the Jackson family in Impelia. I didn’t expect us to have such a strong background."Jane felt even more moved than Jordan.After all, her childhood had been so tough that sometimes she couldn't even see a future.She never imagined that her future self would be a rich heiress!It felt so surreal.They did get up early today, and hadn't slept well last night.After chatting for a while, they both fell asleep.When they woke up, it was almost time for dinner.They rushed to wash up and go downstairs, seeing everyone busy, they asked, "Why didn't you wa

    Aunt Orianna twirled her big wavy curls and proudly lifted her chin, saying, "Well, I'm unlucky in love and have inherited so many estates. Later, I thought, I have more money than I can spend, so it's better not to bring harm to others. Having so many lives on my hands isn't good either. You guys agree, right?"Jane and Jordan never expected Aunt Orianna to be such an interesting person.They were shocked for a moment."Well, Aunt Orianna, you're very kind," Jane commented.Jordan didn't know what to say, so she gave her a thumbs up.Aunt Orianna held their hands and said, "I was young and just wanted to have fun back then. Otherwise, I wouldn't have lost you two. I'm sorry.""Please don't say that." During dinner earlier, Jane had already sensed that although the members of the Jackson family were talking about joyful topics and seemed very concerned about them, there was still a lot unsaid.They hesitated, holding back many words.Now that they were alone, the atmosphere shi

    Charlotte had left first and reminded Jane.They were going back to the Jackson family today to reunite with the family.However, there were so many issues between them and the Jackson family, which was why Charlotte left them space to adjust.Once they had naturally integrated with the Jackson family, she would come back to meet the family and have a meal together.Therefore, Jane didn't bring Zachary with her, and Jordan followed her example.As she expected, the Jackson family didn't ask about the two of them. Although the atmosphere was fine, they talked about the Jackson family matters and asked about their lives over the past few years.It was likely that Nathan had mentioned it beforehand, so they didn't bring up their marriage."Tonight, let's have Zachary and Westley come over. We'll introduce them to Grandpa and the others," Jane said to Nathan.Nathan nodded. "Aunt Emily's husband will be back tonight too.""It’s a gathering of the son-in-laws."Jane smile. "Looks

    "Go ahead."Jane wiped his tears and said slowly, "To be honest, I can't say I've completely let go, but seeing you and hearing these words from you, I've decided to let go. Please don't bring this up again in the future. Let's live well from now on, okay?"Calvin nodded repeatedly. "I'll listen to you.""Then let's eat. I'm hungry.""Okay, okay."Nathan knew that when Jane spoke, Calvin would definitely listen.Once seated, Nathan introduced Jane and Jordan to the others."This is Aunt Emily and Aunt Orianna."Jane and Jordan both greeted. "Aunt Emily, Aunt Orianna."The two women's eyes were teary. "It's good that you're back."Nathan pointed to the girl next to Aunt Emily, "This is Aunt Emily's daughter, our cousin."Anna greeted them. "Hello, my dear cousins.""Hello."Nathan added, "Aunt Emily's husband couldn't come right now. Aunt Orianna is single. This is all our family."Jane glanced over and then Nathan leaned in to whisper in her ear, "Grandma and Grandpa had

    "Okay."Jane watched her get into the car and waved her goodbye.Jordan was a bit confused and asked Jane, "Jane, why did Charlotte leave early?"Jane replied, "She wanted us to get familiar with our family first, then, as genuine members of the Jackson family, she would come as a guest.""But she's not a guest!""Yes, that's the charm of Charlotte. She knows how to maintain a sense of propriety."Nathan came out of the cemetery, got into the front car, and took Jane and the others back to the Jackson family's residence.Calvin and the members of the Jackson family had already been seated in the living room, waiting for them.Hearing the noise of the cars in the courtyard, Calvin stood up excitedly and walked to the door to greet them.He happened to meet Jane and Jordan.Calvin had once been a powerful figure, but in front of his granddaughters, he appeared helpless, like a child."They... they're here..."Jane and Jordan had already discussed it in the car. They both step

    And she would also act as a supervisor, so they could rest assured about Jane and Jordan.With the visit completed, Nathan led them back to the Jackson family's residence."Grandfather felt guilty for not being able to speak with you yesterday. He didn't want to bring up old matters on such a joyous day and make everyone uncomfortable, so he's been waiting here at the Jackson family’s residence since early this morning."Jane asked with concern, "What do you early? Why didn't you try to persuade him? Wouldn't it have been better for him to come with us?"Nathan replied, "At his age, if he could be persuaded, I would have, but if not, I could only comfort him. I'm afraid if he gets too anxious, it might affect his health. Though it might also be that he's tired of me, as a troublesome brat. But when you two lovely granddaughters try to convince him, he'll probably listen."Jane stopped in her tracks.Nathan asked, "What's wrong?"Jane said, "I want to go see Aunt Irene."Nathan

    "You both can rest in peace now. From now on, they will come visit you often."After saying this, he stepped aside to make space for Jane and Jordan.Jordan had attended Sir Howard's funeral before and, with the Howard family's help, had also handled her grandfather's passing.She had some experience, but when it came to facing her own parents, she felt overwhelmed and at a loss.When she knelt down, she nearly fell.A steady hand supported her, then knelt down beside her."Westley..."Although she had married Westley, she hadn't expected him to kneel down beside her like that."It's only right," he said.Beside them, Jane had knelt down before Jordan.Zachary followed and knelt with her.While the others were speaking, the two of them had already finished their bows.When Jane sat back up, her face was streaked with tears.She choked up and couldn't say a single word.After calling out "Mom, Dad," she stayed silent for a long time.Zachary spoke first—But not before g

    They went to bed early that night and woke up early the next day.In Jeswood, winter had already arrived, and the days were shorter.When Jane got up, it was still pitch-black outside.But Zachary had already finished getting ready and prepared all the offerings for the visit.It seemed he had woken up at least two hours earlier than her—probably at dawn."Thank you," she said.Zachary smiled and gave her cheek a firm squeeze."What, it's only the second day after our wedding and you're acting all polite with me now? What are you thanking me for?"Jane looked at him seriously. "Even if we're very close, I should still thank you for this.""Alright, message received."Zachary could see the sadness in her eyes, so he didn't say anything more.On the other side, Westley also woke earlier than Jordan.He even called Zachary to go over the items they needed to prepare.The two of them split up the tasks.They also made sure to check with Nathan.He probably couldn't sleep eit
