Chapter 72

Author: Lean
Jane held back at first but then snatched the phone from me in one swift move, her illness didn't weaken her fighting spirit in the slightest.

"Jessica, don't you have a mirror? Or are you just blind? You can't even hide the words 'mistress' on your face, can you? And you, Ryan, who the hell do you think you are..."

I shivered after hearing those words, not waiting for them to escalate the conversation, I lunged forward and hung up the phone!

Jane wasn't done venting her anger. "Why did you hang up? I was about to give those two a piece of my mind!"

"Calm down," I said.

I originally felt extremely aggrieved, but now I calmed down. I poured a glass of water for Jane. "Actually, if Ryan really listens to her, it might be better for everyone if we got divorced."

Given the current situation between Ryan and me, letting each other go might be the best choice.

"Are you really okay with that?" Jane took a big gulp of hot water, getting more and more worked up. "I support you getting di

    "Stop embarrassing yourself!""Huh?" Tom opened his eyes and was shocked. "Charlotte? It's you... uh..."He scratched his head awkwardly. "I didn't expect you to be here as well.""Yeah, I'm here to hang out with Jane," I teased, pointing to the shoe cabinet. "Help yourself."Seeing him like this, it was clear he wasn't here for the first time and didn't need me to fetch slippers for him.Turning back, I gave Jane a puzzled look.Jane shrugged. "It's definitely not what you're thinking. I'm still single by the way.""Charlotte, just wait for my good news!" Tom had eased out of his embarrassment, changed into a pair of slippers, and smiled.Jane retorted, "Get lost, why are you here?""You said you were sick, so I came to check on you.""You come to visit someone who's sick empty-handed?""I came over as soon as you told me you were sick, so I didn't have time to buy anything. I'll order something right now."I tactfully carried my drawing board into the bedroom. I sat by th

    I was slightly taken aback. "Maybe."As adults, especially at such a critical moment, we would obviously think about each other's actions.But what I always wanted was never to have both the carrot and the stick.It was too boring.If there was no mutual understanding, then it would be best for each other to go our own ways. That was the best choice.Today was not a drinking session but a card game.When we were approaching the door of the private room, I suddenly wanted to go to the toilet. I informed Jane and headed towards the toilet.After taking care of my needs, as soon as I turned the corner outside the restroom, I came face to face with Jack.He happened to see me too. He cocked his brows and smiled. "I saw your name on the competition list submitted by the Frost family. I'm looking forward to the day we will be working together."Feeling a bit embarrassed, I smiled and replied, "Jack, I'm just participating. Can..."Mid-sentence, a large hand suddenly wrapped around

    It was the same old tricks.He would kiss me whenever he couldn't win in an argument.The man cupped my jaw and kissed me hard and fast, and his hands fell on my waist, rubbing me and making me shudder.I knew that if I let him continue like this, I would become too embarrassed to walk out of that door.But it wasn't up to me.He was overbearing and strong when it came to this. The power gap between a woman and a man was miles apart.I couldn't resist so I could only beg Ryan for mercy. I knew begging him always worked. "Ryan, you don't do this. What will others think of me...""Who? Jack?" he asked while kissing. The voice that was coming through his teeth was deep and sexy.I obviously wouldn't go against him at such times. I could only be forced to accept his kisses while explaining in a seamless manner, "I, I really don't have anything with him... It's just because of MS's design competition, it's only... well...""You're just using him?"His thoughts were extraordinary,

    It turned out that it wasn't my imagination or a misunderstanding on my part. Even my husband was now treating me as the person in this relationship who couldn’t be seen by others.While incessantly questioning me about my relationship with Jack, he also instructed me to hide behind the door and not come out.It was hilarious."It's not what you think." Ryan reached out to touch my shoulder. I instinctively stepped back, looking at him awkwardly. I didn’t want to cry, but tears welled up in my eyes in an instant. "Don't touch me."‘Don't touch me.’ My mind went blank in waves, leaving only this one thought."Charlotte, don't jump to conclusions. I just don't want to ..."Knock! Knock! Knock!The expected knocking interrupted his words.Jessica must have caused a scene in each private room, determined to find Ryan and me. Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken this long."Go home and wait for me, I'll explain later."Before Ryan opened the door to leave, he left these words in a de

    "I couldn't ask for more. I heard you just left with Ryan. What happened? Did he bully you again?" She sent an angry emoji.Before I could reply, a voice call came through. I immediately hung up, stating, "I'm fine, I'm in the car. We can talk when you're back."Throughout the journey, Jack sensed my subdued mood and just let me be, not forcing any conversation. He gave me the space I needed to clear my mind.As I unbuckled my seatbelt before getting out of the car, I said, "Jack, about what happened today, please don't take it to heart."He slowly pressed the brake brought the car to a stop and smiled. "It's alright, I'm happy.""Huh?" I was puzzled.Jack turned his head towards me, teasingly saying, "Haven't you noticed? You haven't thanked me once today."I pursed my lips. "But I should have...""I'm not reminding you to thank me." He interrupted me with a half-smile, then softened his voice. "Between friends, there's no need for so much formality."I chuckled softly. "Then

    I also guessed that the person Jane was talking to on the phone was Tom. But Jane's anger hadn't subsided."Yeah, yeah, Jessica is pregnant! Charlotte is like the invincible Iron Man. She's already miserable enough and you just had to make things worse.""Well, I hope Ryan doesn't regret it in the future.""He's relying on outsiders to prosper. When he regrets his decision in the future, it'll be well-deserved!""Get lost. Don't expect me to help him persuade Charlotte. If Charlotte divorces him, I'll support her wholeheartedly, even if it makes my hair stand on end."I took a deep breath, leaning against the wall and sitting on the bay window. I messaged Nancy on WhatsApp.Nancy replied almost instantly, "Charlotte, you've heard about it... Yes, it was the day before yesterday. Mr. Frost's father personally came and transferred Ms. Frost to the CEO's office.""I'm sorry, I didn't know how to tell you. Are you and Mr. Frost okay?"I suppressed the bitterness in my heart.

    Therefore, the cost of medical treatment here surpassed that of public hospitals by a large margin. As a result, the outpatient department wasn't very crowded at this hour.While waiting for my turn, I felt something else flowing from my lower body again. "Jane, could you go buy me some sanitary pads?""Are you bleeding again?"Jane's expression became even more worried, and she sprang up from her chair. "I'll go buy them. If you have an emergency, call me. Got it? Wait for me here if I'm not back before the doctor's done checking on you. Don't go anywhere.""Okay." I nodded weakly.Before feeling unwell, I had thought apart from morning sickness, I wasn't much different from before pregnancy. Now I realized how exhausted I was. I had no extra energy left at all."Number 36, Charlotte Wilson, please proceed to consultation room 3."I sat near the door and entered when called, handing the report to the doctor. "Doctor, could you please take a look? I suddenly started bleeding tod

    Ryan, who had been playing with his phone with his head down, suddenly looked up. Unable to hide, I could only force myself to walk out.Ryan's expression softened slightly, and he said in a gentle voice, "Why are you at the hospital?"Completely different from his cold tone when confronting Jessica just now. If it were before, I might have sensed a hint of favoritism in his coldness.Now, all I felt was mockery.Before I could say anything, Jessica glanced at the doctor's introduction on the office door display screen and smirked. "Why are you seeing this kind of specialist? Could it be you've contracted HPV or something? This kind of infection only happens if you have a messy private life."She deliberately raised her voice and it drew many disdainful glances towards me.Instead, I breathed a sigh of relief. Glancing at the display screen, I realized that perhaps due to a shift change, the specialist shown wasn't the doctor I had just registered with.I also realized that even

    Such a wonderful thing as a proposal happened today.Tonight should at least count as a wedding night, right?The assistant hadn't expected them to argue. He thought Westley might have gone out to buy something to use later."I'll take you to the supermarket.""Head back to the hotel."Westley gave an order in a cold voice, then opened the door and got into the back seat of the car.The assistant was completely confused but still drove toward the hotel.He had never seen a couple argue right after getting engaged.But as an assistant, it wasn't his place to ask questions.Jordan couldn't sleep.By the time she got up, she had two dark circles around her eyes.She was about to put on makeup when she thought about their fight last night.Would their remarriage even happen today?If not, there was no point in dressing up.She hesitated in front of the mirror for a long time before finally putting on makeup to cover the dark circles.But she still didn't look happy.After c

    "You're really not letting me in?"When Westley said this, he stared at her intently, his tone slightly rising at the end. It was obvious that he didn’t mean just entering the house.There was a deeper meaning.Jordan pulled her hand back and kicked him."Get lost, you pervert."Westley glanced at the shoe print on his leg and laughed. "What did I say? Who's the one with a dirty mind here?"Jordan was indeed at a loss for words. She was angry because he had seen right through her.She was frustrated that her emotions were always so easy to read.Especially in front of someone as sharp as Westley—there was nowhere to hide.That made her even angrier."Let me tell you, even if I agreed to your proposal, I can still take it back."As she spoke, she reached for the ring, intending to take it off.Westley caught her hand and pressed her fingerprint against the scanner.When the door opened, Jordan was stunned."Westley!""Yes?" Westley responded, pulling her into the house.

    Jane glanced at the screen and said, "At least Westley has quite high EQ. I'm actually quite satisfied with that."Originally, the two of them had gotten married first, without actually being in a relationship, and even after the marriage, they hadn't managed to develop any feelings.It should have been the other way around. First, dating, then proposal, and finally marriage.Zachary asked her, "Now that you're fully recovered, and Charlotte has also finished making your wedding dress, when are you going to marry me? Or do you want me to propose to you again?"Jane raised her hand to stop his approach, but then used her finger to gently trace his jaw.Her eyes were full of allure.During this time in recovery, she hadn't been able to do anything.Afraid that she wouldn't take care of herself well, he hadn't even asked for her help to satisfy his desires.He had handled everything himself.Now, he couldn't bear it when she looked at him with such a teasing gaze.Zachary grabbe

    He also took her to the highest point and used a telescope to look at the sky."Look at that one, it's your star, it's called Jordy."Jordan looked in the direction he pointed, and indeed, she saw a bright, shining star.By naming the star, it truly belonged to her.This was like picking a star from the sky.And he had also made so many stars for her using diamonds.Perhaps it was the atmosphere, but she took the initiative to hug Westley.Westley stood still and said, "I haven't broken our agreement. What’s the meaning of this?"He knew what she meant.But deep down, he was happy.Jordan let go of him and said, "Tomorrow is the awards ceremony.""Yes." Westley looked at her. "Are you nervous?"Jordan shook her head. "What's there to be nervous about? I've won awards before. I've already won the biggest awards, this time it's just a small one."Westley's gaze darkened. "I'll pick you up tomorrow to do your styling."At that moment, Jordan didn't realize he had a deeper in

    He placed some meat on her plate and asked, "Don't you like being close to me? Or do you still think our relationship isn't suitable for closeness right now?"Jordan couldn't really explain.Westley answered for her, "Do you think the development between us is different from others? So it's awkward?"Jordan thought for a moment, and it seemed like that was the case.Westley continued, "So you still want to go through a process before we get to the point where we can kiss in a romantic relationship?"Jordan fell silent.Westley said, "If you have something to say, just say it. There's nothing we should be embarrassed about between us."Jordan bit her cutlery, and after a few seconds, she said, "Before we remarry, we can maintain a working relationship. We can eat together, do some things together, but we can't have any intimate behavior. Can you accept that?"Westley obviously couldn't accept it.He didn't really understand why she wanted it that way.But he still went along w

    "Otherwise, would you listen to something you don't want to hear?"Jordan didn't want to argue with him. "I'll say this one last time... Mm!"Her lips were sealed, and when Jordan tried to push him away, she kept punching his shoulder.She tilted her head to dodge, but he firmly held her by the back of her head.She opened her mouth to bite him, but he grabbed her face, deepening the kiss.In the quiet office, with only the two of them, the sound of water droplets, which made hearts race and faces flush, could be heard.Jordan, unable to take it anymore, kicked him.But his long legs held her down.She was completely at his mercy, unable to move at all."Um..."It wasn't until the sound of a knock on the door broke the intimate atmosphere."I'm here for the interview... Is this a bad time?"As soon as Westley released her, Jordan immediately pushed him away, wiping her lips forcefully.She stomped on him hard and tried to calm her emotions as she looked toward the door."

    Jordan went to sit on the sofa and casually raised her hand toward him."Go on."Westley looked at her, noticing how she resembled a boss, a look that had some of his own influence in it.He smiled.Jordan shot him a glare. "Be serious.""Alright."Westley sat up straight, looking serious.He began to explain his previous plans to her.Except for parts of the plan that needed to be kept confidential, he didn't hide anything else."The reason I had you stab me was indeed to let you vent your anger, to make up for the harm I've caused you. It was just a coincidence that the higher-ups issued an order at the same time, so I decided to go along with it. Now, the plan has been completed. I can indeed come back to life, but right now, there's nothing I need to do. The Howard family has Leanne, and I've already resigned. I'm just a jobless wanderer now, and no one cares. Whether I'm alive or not doesn't really matter."Jordan felt that those last two sentences were clearly meant to

    But when she reached the bedroom door, ready to go out and check, she thought again, how could he, such a grown man, possibly be putting himself through hardship?With so many people under him, he could just call anyone to bring him clothes.And he could book a comfortable presidential suite for himself.There was no need for her to be concerned about it.Besides, it was her who had locked him out in the first place.Going out now would only make it seem like she cared about him too much.Right.She shouldn't go out.Jordan returned to her bed.But no matter what, she couldn't fall asleep.In the living room, Westley was already lying on the sofa.The heating was turned up high, so he wasn't worried about the cold.He was holding his phone, making some kind of plan.In the end, Jordan didn't even know how she fell asleep.When she woke up groggily, the first thing she did was get up and check on Westley.But she found that he wasn't there anymore.She let out a sigh of

    She now saw herself only as a sister figure to him. Even though they were a bit close, there was still a sense of distance and wariness.It was impossible for her to fully open up to him.But at that moment, suddenly talking about their relationship wasn't really appropriate.Besides, with how things had developed between her and Westley, if he intervened, it would just force them apart.In the end, it would be her who got hurt.‘Forget it.’Nathan decided to just watch how things would unfold.If Westley still didn't realize his mistakes and hurt Jordan again, then no matter what, he couldn't let them be together."Has Jasmine not come back?""Huh?" The topic changed too quickly, and Jordan was a little slow to react. "No.""Nathan, did you take anything from this room?"Nathan's gaze darkened slightly. "No."Noticing that he was in a bad mood, Jordan didn't ask about his situation with Jasmine."Jasmine probably has something she wants to do."Nathan could tell from her
