"There’s a barbecue place on the fourth floor that’s really good, let’s go try it out. You can cook for me.""Okay," Zachary readily agreed, but then he hesitated to move.Jane pushed him, but he pulled her into his arms."Take it slow."At the film set.Jason and Michael had just finished their scene.The staff immediately rushed in, each taking care of their responsibilities.Jason sat down on a nearby rest chair, accepting the hot water handed to her by her assistant.Michael, not yet of such a high status, quietly practiced his lines in the corner.Jason glanced over and then got up to walk towards him."You need to step out of yourself when acting."The sudden voice startled Michael, causing him to take a nervous step back.Jason’s demeanor was gentle. "Sorry."Michael quickly waved his hands, shaking his head. He felt much more awkward than before when he had met Jason.Jason didn’t ask more but said, "Relax, it’s okay. I’ll help you.""You…" Michael bit his lip. "

Nina certainly had a plan, but she couldn’t reveal it now. She wanted to wait until Zachary and Jane were getting along well before she brought it up. She aimed to see them suffer through their separation, which would soothe her anger."Mrs. Collins, you want them to break up, right? Then just work with me. I’ve been taken care of by you since I was little. Although you couldn’t help when Sir Collins sent me abroad, I still remember your kindness. I’ve always wanted to help you fulfill your wishes to repay that kindness."Once these words came out, Rebecca found it hard to respond. She thought that if Nina really were to get pregnant, they could still raise the child. After all, it was a girl she had watched grow up. Even if they couldn’t marry her into the family as a daughter-in-law, giving the child a proper identity wouldn’t be a problem."I can see you don’t look well, you should eat something and rest. Don’t worry, I’ll work with you."Nina, having achieved her goal, felt v

The director personally brought over the report. "Five weeks, the embryo is developing normally, but Miss Linton’s health isn’t great, and her mood seems a bit low. For the sake of the baby’s health, she needs to adjust herself. You should talk to her more."The director was one of their own, so he wouldn’t ask too many questions or spread anything.When she got home, Rebecca first told Nina to rest and then called Eric. He was busy and didn’t pick up, but he messaged her that he would be home for dinner.After thinking for a moment, she called Zachary. Zachary was in the kitchen cooking. He wasn’t surprised to see the incoming call. He ignored the first one.Rebecca called again.This time, he answered slowly, straightforwardly stating, "If you want me to come home, I suggest you save your breath."Surprisingly, Rebecca didn’t lose her temper. She calmly replied, "Right now, we can’t tell if the child is yours, but with a month gone by, you’ll have to acknowledge it for now."

It was already the winter in Jeswood.The corridor's window was half open for ventilation, allowing the cold air to separate the indoor and outdoor spaces into two contrasting worlds of hot and cold.But Zachary didn’t cold. In fact, he actually felt like he was burning.Worried that Jane might be cold, he had only opened the door a small crack, but then he suddenly opened the door wide.Yet the next second, it slammed shut with a bang.Zachary approached and cupped Jane's face, kissing her.Jane felt the heat from his palm burning her slightly."Why are you so hot...?" she asked, struggling to push Zachary away a bit.Zachary simply picked her up, kicked off his shoes, and strode toward the bedroom.His kisses fell as he spoke. "Isn't it because you kindled the fire?"Jane liked him, and Zachary knew this all too well.But for some reason, hearing that sentence come from her lips struck him hard.Jane found it both amusing and exasperating. "Stop messing around and go do

“How could I possibly have a child with her?” Zachary didn’t even glance at Nina. “You believe everything she says, yet you don’t trust what I, your own son and grandson, say.”The Collins family members were not fools, they wouldn’t let others mess with them.They trusted Nina only because it might help separate Zachary and Jane.“Nina wouldn’t go so far as to frame you with something like this,” said Eric. Afterward, Rebecca chimed in, “We can believe you too, but what evidence do you have to prove that this child isn’t yours?”Zachary replied coolly, “I’ll wait until a paternity can be done.”The Collins family understood each other’s intentions. Rebecca added, “We can wait, but it will take time. We need to wait until the fetus is stable, around four to five months. So during this time, you’ll have to take responsibility. If the results show it’s not yours, we won’t force you to be responsible.”Zachary’s mind raced, and he suddenly realized something.Nina’s pregnancy pro

The instinct to survive made her mutter two words before fainting. “Help me…”At the Collins family's residence, it felt as though dark clouds had descended.While other places basked in the beauty of stars and the moon, the Collins family was shrouded in gloom.Nina wouldn’t just share the video with Zachary, that wouldn’t achieve her desired effect.After watching the video, the Collins family pinned Zachary down.Even his phone was taken by someone.Rebecca took the opportunity to turn off his phone.Before doing so, she saw a call from Jane.No wonder Nina said she could make Zachary break up with Jane, she had been holding back this trump card.This also reminded her of what Zachary had said before—that no matter how good he was to Nina, it wouldn’t matter.Because of the incident where she was sent abroad, a rift had developed between them, and Nina wouldn’t remember his kindness.Thinking about it now, it made a lot of sense.If only Nina didn’t come from such a back

Zachary was too tired to argue and simply reached out. “Give me the phone.”Rebecca refused.Zachary's patience had completely worn out. “If you don’t let me check the authenticity of this video, don’t expect me to take responsibility. If I publicly declare that I’m marrying Nina and that she’s pregnant with my child, do you really think your plans for me to marry someone of equal status can succeed?”Rebecca hesitated, and Eric spoke up, “Give it to him.”Only then did Rebecca pass the phone over.Zachary handed it to Roy.Roy immediately connected it to a computer to begin the analysis.However, the results contradicted their expectations.“Sir, it’s… real.”Zachary’s expression didn’t change much, he remained gloomy.But upon hearing Roy's words, his eyes widened slightly.“You will stay in this house during this time,” the family patriarch, Sir Collins, said. “Wait until the child is born.”“Go and clarify things with your girlfriend. She doesn’t meet the requirements t

Frank had never felt so speechless.His friend really knew how to cause trouble.If Charlotte found out, he would be dragged into this mess with Zachary.“Didn’t you see her taking the contraceptive pill?”Zachary was even more annoyed. “She took out a box and said she had taken it. I can’t let her keep taking it, it’s not good for her health if she takes too much.”Frank scoffed coldly, “You deserve this. Who told you to have any pity for her?”Zachary pressed his aching forehead. “Didn’t you think that since she started plotting, if I had forced her to take the pill back then, she would definitely have made me responsible for her not getting pregnant?”“Well, that’s better than her actually getting pregnant. At least there would be room to turn things around. If the child is still in her womb and doesn’t come out, who knows what would happen? If that child couldn’t be born, it would make you look bad.”Zachary had thought of that possibility just now.Indeed.He should have

Westley looked at Jordan on the hospital bed, her lips pale, and didn't say anything.His gaze was deep, and it was unclear what he was thinking.Leanne, seeing his hair still dripping wet, went to grab a towel to help him dry it.Westley raised his hand to push her away.Leanne laughed. "So what, you're planning to stay here be sick with her?"Westley remained silent.Leanne was used to it.As the eldest son of the Howard family, bearing a heavy responsibility, he had matured earlier than other kids his age. His thoughts were so deep that they were impossible to fathom.When he was in a good mood, he would talk a little more.When he was in a bad mood, he couldn't even spare a glance."Westley, the one at fault here is you. Forgive me for speaking frankly, but the way you're handling this will only make Jordan more frustrated and push her even further away from you. You know best yourself—everyone who lied would be punished severely by you. You've deceived Jordan again and a

"Tell Westley that if I don't see him at the Civil Affairs Bureau today, I'll file for divorce. If his work gets affected or he gets embarrassed because of it, he'd better not blame me."Buck's phone was on speaker, so there was no need to relay the message—Westley heard everything clearly.Caught in the middle, Buck felt like a sandwich. Not an enviable position."Mrs. Howard, you must be very busy. Don't waste time waiting outside the Civil Affairs Bureau. Once Mr. Howard finishes his work, he'll contact you.""Contact my ass!" Jordan swore, her frustration spilling over. "That scumbag is full of tricks! Let's see how long you can hide for! I'll wait until five o'clock when the Civil Affairs Bureau closes. If I don't see you, get ready for me to file for divorce!"Beep beep beep!She hung up the phone.Buck hesitated before carefully speaking. "Sir, Mrs. Howard seems to know you were listening.""Yeah."Westley's lips curved into a faint smile. "She's gotten smarter."Buck

"They've gone through so much and still haven't reconciled!"The captain didn't even open his eyes and said, "Go run 10km."Jordan thought she wouldn't be able to sleep after everything that happened.But in the end, she drifted off in a daze.In her hazy state, it seemed as if something brushed against the corner of her eye, wiping away her tears.The next morning, when she woke up, the room was completely empty, leaving only her.She immediately went out to look for Westley.There was no sign of Buck, who was always by his side.She grabbed someone nearby and asked, "Where's Westley?"The subordinate replied, "Mr. Howard left last night. I'm not sure about his specific itinerary. Please understand, Mrs. Howard."Westley's schedule was always kept confidential.It was only known when he actually appeared at an event.The only one who might know was Buck.But she couldn't get in touch with him either.Just as she was about to call Westley, another call came in.Seeing th

Her lips were suddenly covered by his cool ones.She widened her eyes in shock.Using all her strength, she pushed him away."What are you doing?""Isn't this what you said? We’re even, aren’t we?"Westley replied unhurriedly, "You kissed me just now, and now I've kissed you. That makes us even."‘What?’Jordan was at a loss for words to describe her feelings at that moment.So, when her slap landed on Westley's face, she didn't even realize what she had done.The man's face tilted slightly from the impact.Even Westley hadn't expected it. He was momentarily stunned, then pressed his tongue against his left cheek.His face showed no particular emotion, but the faint trace of amusement in his eyes hadn't completely faded.Seeing this, Jordan felt a chill run down her spine.It would have been better if he hadn't smiled."Well, uh... it's because you started it... I didn't mean to... If you hadn't gone too far, I wouldn't have hit you..."After she stammered her explanatio

"Yeah."Westley didn't put any distance between them, lazily replying, "You bought all of it. I don't even know where to buy it."If Westley wanted something, there were plenty of people who would go to great lengths to get it for him.It was just an ordinary body wash. Finding out where to buy it would have been a trivial matter.Jordan's attention shouldn't have been on the body wash. It should have been on the fact that he had just stepped out of the shower, wearing nothing but a bath towel.But instead, she was entirely drawn into the topic."Then I'll buy you a new one. Don't use the one that has expired—what if you have an allergic reaction?""Okay."Jordan immediately took out her phone and placed an order.After she finished, she even showed him the confirmation."It'll arrive in a few days. Use something else in the meantime."Westley stared at her silently for a few seconds before speaking."Jordy, I'm sorry."That one apology was enough to make Jordan come back

Jordan really wouldn’t be able to keep an eye on him. If she fell asleep and he left, she wouldn’t even know.By that time, who knows what excuse he would come up with.But staying in the same room together wasn’t appropriate given their current relationship.Westley spoke up, offering her a solution.“You can sleep on the sofa. Even if you fall asleep, you’ll notice if I make any moves.”That sounded like a good idea.Jordan immediately agreed.But if she had thought about it more carefully, she might have realized how unusual it was for Westley to suggest a woman sleep on the sofa.Even though they were about to divorce, they still had a bond from growing up together.If not as a husband, then as a “brother,” he shouldn’t let his “sister” sleep on the sofa.He only suggested it because he knew she would agree without hesitation.Westley handed her a blanket and, in an unhurried manner, loosened his cufflinks and tie.He casually asked, “Do you want to shower first?”Jord

“Why?” asked Jane.“Because such an opportunity is rare,” replied Zachary.Westley indeed cherished the opportunity tonight.Regarding potential rivals, he had investigated a lot.Oliver was the only person who was a little close to Jordan.So tonight, he was confident he could remain emotionally stable and have a proper conversation with Jordan.But he hadn’t expected to encounter a problem as soon as they got off the plane.“Jordan!”Leanne, holding a large bouquet of sunflowers, immediately passed the flowers to Jordan upon seeing her.“If I hadn’t asked, I wouldn’t have been able to catch you. It’s been so long since we’ve gathered together.”“No matter what happens between you and my brother, we can’t cut off our relationship, right?”Jordan had always had a good relationship with the members of the Howard familyNo one treated her poorly or like an outsider.During her school years, any troublemakers had been dealt with by the Howard family.Especially Leanne, who h

Zachary was rendered speechlessFrank teased him, "Family status."Zachary ignored him, as if Frank's family status was any higher."Dominic is keeping an eye on things over there, which is reassuring. The finished products have already been produced, and Jordan helped take some photos. The promotional effect has been good.""Dominic is reliable. It's just a pity I can't model for the later set of the clothes' promotions. Honestly, I really wanted to wear them, the patterns in the later designs are even more intricate."Charlotte glanced at her belly. "You're not showing yet, so you can wear them. I had Dominic send them over. I was in a rush to come back today because of Jordan and didn't bring them, but when the package arrives, you can wear them for the shoot."Jane sighed. "I wonder if the girl will still have time to help me take photos in a few days. I want her to take my maternity photos too.""Whether or not she gets divorced, if you ask her, she’ll definitely come.

“Let’s go back to the the Howard family’s residence.”“It’s too late, I don’t want to disturb them.”Jordan gritted her teeth. “Then let’s go to your house. It’s so big, we can each take a room and not disturb each other.”Westley calmly took a sip of tea. “It’s not very convenient.”Jordan’s temper flared. “Let’s just stay in a hotel!”Westley replied, “There are too many people watching me in Nelana. I don’t want to be misunderstood.”Jane and Charlotte exchanged a look.They both understood each other’s thoughts.Before, they had thought Westley was calculating and manipulative.He had always been clever at using tricks to handle Jordan.Now, they realized it wasn’t just that.This man had a thick skin—he could say anything without blinking.But they didn’t fully understand Westley’s intentions.He clearly had the chance to spend time alone with Jordan, perhaps to explain some things and clear the air.Yet he kept refusing.If he felt it was inconvenient, if he didn’t
