Chapter 790

作者: Lean
Right now, taking a risky move was the best way to break the deadlock.

But…

Charlotte put down her phone and asked Jane, “Are you serious? You just said someone stood by your side, and you were happy. Why are you saying this now? What you mean by breaking up—do you mean a permanent breakup or just a temporary separation until he handles things with Nina?”

Jane wanted to have a drink, but she couldn’t because of the medication.

She took a sip of water and said, “It’s a breakup. I can’t reach the Collins family. Having been there is enough for me. I don’t want him to sever ties with his family because of me. My biological father, though he has severed ties, we still have a father-daughter relationship. In the future, Zachary will go into politics. My father could become his liability. So, if I can’t help him, I shouldn’t hold him back.”

Charlotte felt heartbroken.

Frank had recorded these words in Madam Collins' room and sent them to Charlotte.

She had intended to keep it f

    “Came to check on you.”Zachary handed her the water.After she finished drinking, he took it back and asked, “Do you want more?”Jane shook her head, sat up, and wrapped herself in a blanket. Once her thoughts were clearer, she said, “I’m fine, you can go back.”Zachary looked at her without speaking.Jane also remained silent. After a while, she seemed to understand why Zachary was there.“It was Charlotte who said something, right?”“Yeah, she said you planned to break up with me.”Jane’s lips moved slightly.When she was chatting with Charlotte, she indeed had that thought.But in front of Zachary, she found it hard to express.Still, given the current situation, she felt she needed to make a decision.When one has something, they may not feel how important it is.Trying to lose it for a moment can help face one’s true feelings.Then it would be a choice between completely separating or overcoming obstacles together.“Yeah, I really…”“Put that thought away.”Zac

    Zachary couldn't accept it. The moonlight fell on him, wrapping him in a layer of coldness. He sat on the coffee table, his long legs sprawling out, casually enclosing her in his territory. But he knew he couldn’t hold Jane back. When they were together, he had said that he wouldn’t restrain her. He allowed her to remain free and unrestrained. Even though he was reluctant, after a long silence, he still acquiesced to her wishes. “Okay.” The door opened and closed. The dim living room was left with a chill. If it weren’t for the lingering familiar scent of tobacco, Jane might have felt that Zachary had never been there. When Zachary left, he took Roy with him. But he still left a bodyguard to protect Jane, in case someone took advantage of the chaos to harm her. What he didn’t expect was that barely a few steps out the door, someone else entered. Jane disliked the dark, so she turned on all the lights in the room. She intended to call Charlot

    “But I know this date isn’t 100% accurate. However, I consulted a doctor who said drinking this can help relieve menstrual pain.” It might have been the reason that Jane had bumped her head, she was being a little slow. “That’s too late, I already…” Her mouth always ran ahead while her brain lagged behind. After a short pause, she reached out and took the bowl, downing it in one gulp. “Thanks anyway.” Michael caught the main point. “Jane, you’re on your period?” “Yeah.” Jane grabbed her phone to place a delivery order. Michael inadvertently saw what she was doing and said, “I’ll go. Some delivery guys might not want to take this kind of order, I used to do deliveries.” This was the first time Jane had called a delivery guy to buy sanitary pads. She usually prepared in advance. But with everything going on lately and bumping her head, she had forgotten. “Wait.” Michael seemed to remember something and hurriedly added, “Call Mr. Collins. He’s your b

    Zachary grabbed Jane's arm tightly, applying quite a bit of force. Before Jane could say anything, Michael hurried over, trying to help her. However, he was no match for Zachary's strength. "You’re hurting her, can’t you see she’s frowning?" "Roy." Zachary called for Roy, who walked in and pulled Michael outside. "Take off the apron." Roy removed Michael's apron, placing it on the shoe cabinet before closing the door. Michael couldn’t fight back against Roy. He was a professional bodyguard. Every time this happened, he hated himself for being unable to protect the person he liked. He glanced at Jane and saw her signaling him to leave, so he had no choice but to comply. Inside the room, Jane tried to break free from Zachary's grip, but his hand felt like a steel clamp. Her arm hurt to the point of numbness. Initially annoyed because of her period, her temper flared. "Let go!" Zachary yanked her over and threw her onto the sofa. When Jan

    "I’m no match for you in a fight," Michael said angrily. "But you’re bullying Jane, so I'll definitely find a way to help her. The only thing I can do is to call Charlotte." Zachary wanted to say something, but Jane interrupted him. "Zachary, please leave my house." Zachary stepped in front of her, trying to hold her hand, but she avoided him. "Jane..." He opened his mouth to apologize, but Jane interrupted again. "Zachary, lowering yourself too much will only make you repulsive." "I actually have something important to discuss with you." Frank pulled Zachary out. Zachary shrugged him off, and Frank clicked his tongue. "What's with you? Don't need my help anymore? You begged me before, now you’re throwing a fit." Zachary lit a cigarette, his tone indifferent. "You didn’t help me either." Frank laughed in frustration. "I didn’t help? Do you have any conscience? I've been working day and night for you, and you call that no help?" Smoke curled from Zachary's lip

    Jane cocked her brows. “This is the key point. He likes me, feels guilty towards me, and wants to apologize. Therefore, it stands to reason that he wants to reveal the truth to me.” Charlotte nodded in agreement. “But given the current situation, a person’s testimony is useless. We need both Nina and Michael’s statements to match in order to deal with Nina. At least we have a direction for the investigation.” “That’s true.” Jane flipped over and sat up. “Let’s ask during dinner.” Charlotte also got up and checked her phone. “They went drinking.” Jane just nodded and opened the bedroom door to go out. Michael came out of the kitchen and saw her, showing a gentle smile. “Jane, Charlotte, it’s time to eat.” Charlotte looked at the table filled with a variety of delicious dishes. She whispered to Jane, “He really put in effort for you, but unfortunately, feelings are uncontrollable.” Jane handed her cutlery. “Since you’re here, have a taste.” Charlotte wasn’t

    “I can’t believe you guys didn’t tell me that you were coming to drink.” The sweet and innocent one was always carefree, completely oblivious. He raised his glass to clink with the two, cheerful, as if there was nothing in the world that could trouble him. “I feel like you’re isolating me now. Forget about Frank, he has a family. But Zachary, what’s your excuse? I haven’t seen you out drinking these days. You have a girlfriend or something?” Zachary didn’t even spare him a glance and just drank silently. Charlie then noticed something was off and asked Frank, “Frank, did his true love abandon him again?” Frank leaned back on the sofa, his long fingers holding the wine glass, making it look like a piece of art. He spoke in a laid-back tone, “Not exactly.” Charlie sat down next to Zachary and casually put his arm around his shoulder. “Your true love hasn’t abandoned you then why do you look like you’ve broken up? I’ve never looked this way when I broke up.” Zac

    "Look at me. Jane rejected me. Although I was sad at that time, I’m doing fine now. Recently, I met a few younger girls, and they were all quite good. How about I call them over to accompany with you for a while? I guarantee that you would feel energized right away."Zachary pressed Charlie against the coffee table, placing a beer bottle against his head."What nonsense are you talking about? Where did I get my true love?"Charlie extended his index finger and subtly moved the bottle aside."Wasn't Nina your true love? When you were a child, you almost fell out with your family over her. When she returned to the country, you personally went to pick her up and seemed quite happy. It’s alright, Zachary, don’t be sad. She has grown up now and must understand that she can’t marry you, so she rejected you. It’s not that you’re not good enough."Zachary did go to pick up Nina, but it wasn’t something to be happy about. Most of his feelings he had was guilt because she had nearly been

    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. "

    Westley’s sudden voice startled Jordan.Westley smoothed her hair. "It’s alright, honey."Jordan swatted his hand away. "Why are you always so jumpy?"Westley truly felt wronged.But he still apologized. "I’m sorry.""That’s better."Jordan tried to sneak away, but Westley grabbed her back. "I'll give you a chance. Think about what you did last night, or don't blame me later."Jordan didn't know where to look and nervously clasped her hands together. "I don't know what you're talking about.""Are you sure?"Westley slowly unlocked his phone. "You have one more chance to confess, or once I show the evidence, it'll be too late."Jordan vaguely remembered something, like she had done that kind of thing to him.And since Westley was someone full of tricks, it was likely that he had recorded it.She could only act first. "Isn't it all your fault?""Oh?" Westley tilted his head, looking at her with interest. "What did I do? Tell me."What could Jordan say?Should she admit tha

    Westley said, "I need to go to the bathroom.""Oh..."Jordan took a deep breath and opened the door."Go ahead."But the man's large body blocked the bathroom door, standing still.Jordan tried several times to avoid him and step outside."Move out of the way.""Why are your eyes so red?" Westley cupped her face. "Did you cry?""No... it's the facial cleanser."The man’s heart ached, lowered his head, and placed a kiss on her. "Sorry, I shouldn't have teased you.""No..." Jordan didn't know where to put her hands.He was still wearing only a bath towel.He embraced her, his bare upper body pressing against hers. She had just washed up and was only wearing an undergarment. His intense body heat seeped into her skin.She felt something stirring inside her."Weren't you going to the bathroom?"Westley let go of her and asked, "Do you need me to get someone to bring medicine?"Jordan shook her head. "I've taken care of it, just need to get some rest, and I'll be fine."Fin

    "Take a shower first.""Take a shower first..."Seeing the mischievous look on the man's face, Jordan kicked him. "Hurry up."Westley gave her an invitation. "Want to join me?"Jordan glared at him. "Don't do anything strange in my house."Westley cocked his brows. "If I'm not mistaken, we are legally married, right?"Jordan pushed him into the bathroom. "It's not happening in my house!""Okay, you win." Westley started taking off his pants, and Jordan quickly turned around to close the door.She was waiting and feeling a bit bored, so she sent a message to Jane, asking if she knew what Westley had prepared for Aunt Orianna.Earlier, when they were looking at the snow by the door, it seemed like they both knew about it.When Jane saw the message, she knew Westley was up to something mischievous.This was between the married couple, and she wasn't going to get involved."Jordan, I'm a bit busy right now..."Jordan misunderstood and thought it was because she and Zachary wer

    Jordan's eyes suddenly lit up. "Then stop teasing Aunt Orianna and give it to her quickly, or else we'll be sleeping outside tonight."Westley replied, "What's wrong with sleeping outside? It's not like we can't afford a hotel."Jordan said, "Then you go ahead and stay there. Aunt Orianna’s mad. Do you think Nathan’s going to let you off easily? I think you'll be heading back to Jeswood tonight. Don't blame me for not speaking up for you. It's your own fault. You prepared so much, yet you didn’t prepare anything for Aunt Orianna."Westley hugged her tightly. At that moment, the sound of a door opening came from behind them.Jordan peeked her head out from the coat.Westley's deep voice came from above her head. "Your snowman is about to be buried in the snow. What took you so long?"Zachary said indifferently, "Isn't it because of your surprise? I almost got kicked out of Impelia."He walked over to the snowman and tidied it up.Jane stood under the eaves and said, "It’s still

    "Anna." Westley took out his phone. "Get ready, we're going to make a video call."Anna, with her big, sparkling eyes, asked curiously, "Who is it?""You'll find out soon." After connecting the video call, Westley turned the phone towards Anna."Hello, Anna."There was a short pause..."Oh my god!" Anna's scream almost blew the roof off.She was so excited and flustered."What should I do? I didn't put on makeup today.""Oh my god, Westley, why didn't you say we're video calling with my idol? What should I do? What should I do now?""Just be yourself," said Westley. As soon as her idol spoke, Anna immediately sat up straight, not daring to touch her phone. Westley held it up for her the entire time.They chatted for a while, and he held the phone for as long as the conversation lasted.Jordan was worried that Westley arm would be sore so she wanted to hold the phone for him, but he declined, pulling her to sit next to him.Anna didn't chat for long, her idol had other thing

    Westley had also felt that the photo was taken well, but the lighting in the hallway was still a bit dim.The atmosphere was good, but if it had been during the day, it would have been even better."Alright."The whole family sat down.Now everyone was gathered, and compared to the lunch welcoming Jane and Jordan, this dinner felt even more grand, especially with the meatballs added.Calvin had been in poor health ever since the incident with the Jackson family and couldn't drink alcohol.He drank tea instead.Raising his teacup, he said first, "I admit that I haven't fulfilled my responsibility to my two granddaughters, so I have no right to express any opinions about whom they choose to marry. But now that they've returned to my side, if in the future, any of you dare to bully them, I will do everything in my power, even at my old age, to stand up for them."Zachary and Westley both stood up, holding their wine glasses, and bowed toward Calvin.Zachary said, "Don't worry.

    Anna whispered to Aunt Emily in the kitchen, "Mom, Westley is quite handsome."Aunt Emily replied, "You only care about looks. If we're talking about looks, isn't Zachary handsome too?"Anna continued, "When I say he’s handsome, it isn't just about looks, it's in every way.""Of course, Zachary is also a great person.""It's just that everyone thought Westley had bullied Jordan before."Aunt Emily said, "Go bring the meatballs out, get the table ready for dinner.""Got it."When Anna went outside, she didn't see Jordan and Westley.Jane and Zachary had planned to go back to their room to talk, but Jordan had said it was snowing heavily and went out to take photos.So they followed her out.They didn't expect that in just a short while, the ground was already covered with a thick layer of snow, perfect for a snowball fight.Jane started rolling snowballs, and Zachary stood nearby making a snowman.Jordan took a few photos of the scene, capturing both Jane and Zachary in them

    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
