Chapter 832

Author: Lean
Zachary watched their interaction, his gaze growing cold. "I'll marry you."

Jane replied, "You dare come with me to get our marriage certificate now?"

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Jane paused for a moment. "After we’re married, I won't have any contact with your family. I don't like them. I won't attend any social events as your wife, and I won't care about your affairs, much less cook for you..."

"You don't need to. I'll cook. If I'm not around, I’ll arrange for someone to deliver the food from the Summit." Zachary’s eyes softened a little. "Any other demands?"

Jane gritted her teeth. "I want 200 million dollars as wedding gift."

"Okay."

Jane regretted her words a little. "Uh, but your family is definitely going to come make things difficult for me..."

"They won't. I’ll prevent them from doing so."

Jane looked to Charlotte for help.

Charlotte didn't expect Jane to put herself in such a situation so quickly.

She looked at Frank.

Frank smirked. "Ho

    "Yes, that’s right." Jane nodded like mad. "You really do know me." Charlotte patted her shoulder. "Don't worry, you won't be able to get your marriage certificate that easily." Jane asked, "Why do you say that?" Charlotte said, "Don’t you know what kind of status Zachary’s father has? If he casually makes a call, who would dare to enter your details into the system at the Civil Affairs Bureau?" "That's true." Jane had just been blinded by anger earlier. Now, she wasn't worried at all. Michael also breathed a sigh of relief, but he still apologized to Jane. Jane waved her hand. "Let's not talk about this anymore." However, she still apologized to Madam Hall. "Sorry for scene." Madam Hall smiled and said, "I'm old enough to have seen many things. This little scene won't scare me. I'll go prepare the bed for you. I have a room with a big bed, enough to fit all of you. It will be more convenient for you to talk there." Jane went to help. Michael p

    Frank looked at Zachary’s expression.The latter’s face didn't show much change, he was always composed. Even when he smiled, it was fainter than most people's.Frank understood and guessed Zachary emotional changes."She promised to marry me, so shouldn't you be happy and toasting with me to celebrate this moment? What's with sad look on your face?"Zachary crushed the cigarette butt in the ashtray.He stood up, grabbed the entire bottle of liquor, filled his glass, and drank it all in one go.Frank pulled over a chair and sat down opposite him.Nonchalantly swirling his wine glass, he said, "You'd better slow down with the drinking. If you throw up, I won't take care of you.""No need," Zachary replied coldly, and then went straight to drinking from the bottle.Frank raised a hand to scratch his head. He then continued, "By the time you're throwing up and completely drunk, I'll call over a female staff to give you a bath and change your clothes. Then I'll take a few pictures

    "I don’t want to tell you anymore." Zachary clenched his fists. "Please, I'm begging you." Frank leaned back against the door, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes. "Things are valuable because they're rare. You never used to say the word 'beg' before. When you said it the first time, I thought it was interesting, so I helped you. Now, hearing it repeatedly, it just feels boring." Frank was the kind of person who always did as he pleased, never caring about others' feelings, except for Charlotte. Zachary had gotten used to it over the years, but this time, the matter at hand was important. He had no choice but to ask, "What do I need to do for you to help?" Frank was usually playful, but there was a limit to his jokes. Small matters didn't matter much. But when it came to something as significant as getting the marriage certificate, he became unusually serious. "I won’t be hard for you to get a marriage certificate out of Jeswood. You just need proof that

    Yasmin exited the group chat, leaving the two girls to talk privately. Michael finished preparing the water and came out of the kitchen. When he saw Yasmin heading back to her room, he went over and handed her a glass of water. Yasmin wasn’t actually drunk. They were just drinking cider. But since Michael was being kind, she still drank the water. "Ms. Jackson, the hot water is ready. You can wash up." After the long journey, she did feel a bit uncomfortable. "Can I take a shower?" When Michael was taking Madam Hall to Jeswood for treatment, he entrusted the small courtyard to his neighbor, Mrs. Wayne. Aside from regular cleaning, the most important thing was maintaining the various appliances. The boiler in his house was quite old, but it still worked quite well after so many years. "Sure, the boiler’s on." Yasmin went to take a shower. Michael took the water to Jane and Charlotte. The two of them seemed drunk, and they clinked their glasses of w

    "She’s still sleeping. She drank quite a lot with Jane last night." Yasmin stood up. "I'll go wake them up." "Don't. Let them sleep." As soon as Frank finished speaking, he saw Charlotte coming out from the her bedroom. Jane came out after her as well. Zachary immediately stepped forward, and Michael also went over. Charlotte was about to say something when Frank shoved Sparrow into her arms and pulled her aside. "Sparrow's hungry. Let her eat first." Charlotte knew what was going on immediately. "You just want to help Zachary." Frank smiled. "Come on, let’s not be so mean to me." By the time they finished, Jane had already been pulled to the dining table by Zachary. "These are all your favorites." Jane shrugged him off. "No, they’re not." She sat down at the stone table, grabbed a piece of pancake with her hands, and took a big bite. Her voice was muffled. "Right now, I love the food Madam Hall makes. It has the taste of home. Yours may look good

    Of course, Jane would be happier if Zachary didn't come. But after their conversation about the proposal this morning, she was really worried. What if he really prepared an extravagant proposal for her? Charlotte saw the worry in Jane's eyes and said to Frank, "Go find Zachary and stop him from proposing." Frank replied, "We didn’t have as much fun during our honeymoon last time. This time, it's rare that our family is together, so we should relax and enjoy it. Besides, we didn’t have a full honeymoon because we had to help Jane. Charlotte, you were the one who said that we could have a proper honeymoon in the future. I compromised because I love you. Aren't you going to feel a little sorry for me? Taking time off isn't easy." Charlotte knew Frank all too well. His words were sharp, but when he wanted to, he could be very convincing. In the end, he still wanted to help Zachary in some way. "I don't necessarily want to break them up, but Jane doesn't want him aro

    Jane had already made the donation at the church entrance. But when she turned around, she didn’t see Charlotte. Jason came over and said, "She took the child to the restroom." Jane nodded and decided to wait at the entrance. Suddenly, a nun came to give her a flower. She thought it was some sort of blessing from the church and accepted it. However, Michael felt something was off, especially when, not long after, another nun came with another flower. One after another, the roses in Jane's hands kept multiplying, and soon, she had a huge bouquet. "Wait a moment." Michael stopped a little nun and asked him, using the local accent, what was going on. The nun replied, "I don't know. The father asked us to bring flowers to this sister." Another little nun, who could speak Cherian, chimed in, "A benefactor uncle donated a huge amount of incense money, so the master asked us to help him fulfill a wish." Jane immediately felt something was wrong and quickly tri

    Zachary stepped out from behind, and immediately, the little nuns scattered. Jane looked at his smiling face and wanted to slap him. But the presence of the Jesus statue restrained her. "You..." She was about to speak when he covered her mouth. "No foul language in front of Jesus." Jane glared at him and slapped his hand away. Then, she watched as he knelt down on one knee. He opened a small square box and presented it to her. "Jane, I'm proposing to you in front of Jesus. My sincerity is as clear as the heavens. Don't worry about my family or any trouble that we may come across in the future. I've also sincerely asked for Jesus's blessing. He will guide us. Jane, please marry me." Jane suddenly understood. It wasn’t that Zachary didn’t understand what she said. He simply didn't want to do things her way. Instead, he deliberately twisted her words and followed his own will, and did whatever he liked. "I won't marry you." Jane had come here to pray

    Jordan's face turned red with anger, and she yelled, "You're sneaky and cunning. You’re just a scumbag!"Westley bent down to pick up the door handle and handed it to her."How did a perfectly fine door break in your hands? Instead of cursing, shouldn't you reflect on yourself?"Suddenly, Jordan wasn't angry anymore.In fact, she even laughed.Because she was truly speechless."Westley, you're making me feel that having feelings for you back then was the stupidest thing I’ve ever done. I was really stupid, actually feeling sad and upset for someone like you, who is full of lies and has a scheming heart. You don't deserve it. Westley, you... don't... deserve it."Westley hadn't expected this outcome.It had been a good opportunity, and he really wanted to sit down and have a proper conversation with her.But what happened last night was beyond his expectations.He hadn't predicted today's situation either."I didn't mean it like that... let me explain..."Jordan interrupted

    She wasn't used to calling someone for every little thing."It's fine, I just need a sip of water.""You have a 39-degree fever, so please rest more. If the fever doesn't go down, it could turn into pneumonia, like Mr. Howard."Cough cough...Jordan choked on the water. She vaguely remembered that outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, Westley had walked toward her and seemed to have picked her up.But there were so many people around him. Could he really get soaked in the rain?How did she get this high fever?It couldn't be that she fainted, and just by him picking her up, he caught the illness, right?Westley met her confused gaze and began to explain, "You were soaked through. I carried you all the way to the hospital, and I got wet too."‘So?’"I was so focused on getting you treated, I forgot about myself. I thought I was fine, but it turns out I'm worse off than you."Jordan knew that Westley rarely fell ill.She had envied his constitution when they were kids. Unlike her

    Jane happily sent the couple into the elevator.She returned home and picked up the clothes that were scattered on the floor.As she was about to pick up a piece, a fine hand took it from her.She was helped to sit down on the sofa.Jane found it amusing. "Didn't my check-up results show no issues? It's just hanging clothes, it's not like I can't do it."She felt like she was disabled being taken care of like this by Zachary."And you, you've taken over the family business now, aren't you busy? Stop circling around me all day."Zachary hung the clothes on the hanger and placed them in the study first.Hearing her words, his lips pressed down slightly."Are you getting tired of me?"‘No wonder he’s good friends with Frank,’ thought Jane.Jane had just heard Charlotte complain that every time she did something, even if she was away for a short while, Frank would make it seem as if she was getting tired of him."Staring at the same person all the time, it's bound to happen."

    Due to Westley's special permission, their news was all over Nelana recently.Jordan was caught in the rain, Westley carried her to the hospital, and they even took a dramatic photo, which has been going viral all over the internet these past few days."With the beginning and end cut out, the clueless audience has been going crazy over this."Westley controlled the message he wanted to send out to the public.As for why Jordan was standing in the rain at the Civil Affairs Bureau, no one would know.To the public, they were the picture-perfect wealthy couple with a great relationship."My connections are getting better,"Dominic joked. "I found out it's nothing serious, just an acute cold from getting soaked in the rain. She's at the Greyson family's hospital, and even Carter, a big shot, was called to check on her. There’s definitely nothing to worry about."Jane let out a sigh of relief. "That's good, please keep an eye on her for me.""Don't worry. Just take care of yourself,"

    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
