CHAPTER 533 - 544
CHAPTER 533 MRS CARTER TREAT ME TO A MEAL
The secretary had already arranged for Edwin Carter to have lunch with the chairman of Orange Sky Entertainment during the day but when he heard Edwin Carter say that he would accompany his wife during lunch, it was as if ten thousand mud horses were galloping across his heart. However, he dare not object at all.
Jane Ronan's identity was not known to the public. However, after the last time when Jayden Lincoln wanted to change the chairman of Shengtian, and when Jane Ronan appeared in Shengtian to defend her husband, all the internal members of the company knew about her existence.
Everyone knew that their chairman not only spoiled his daughter but also spoiled his wife. Since he said that he wanted to accompany his wife for lunch, no one dared to object.
"Yes." The secretary took the order and went to arrange it.
The moment the secretary left, Jane Ronan left her office. Ignoring the passersby who had their gazes fixed on Edwin Carter, she jumped into Edwin's embrace, rubbed her head in his embrace and her heart happily skipped a beat.
She said, "Mr Carter, guess and see. What good news do I have to tell you?"
Edwin Carter caressed her head and thought for a moment, "Did the chief tell you that you can get a pay raise when you come back to work?"
Jane Ronan pouted and said, "Pitiful!"
Edwin Carter laughed and said, "I am a businessman. The first reaction of a merchant is to profit."
Jane Ronan rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'll give you another chance."
Edwin Carter pretended to seriously think about it and then said, "If it's not a raise then I really can't think of anything else."
Jane Ronan knew that Edwin Carter was extremely slow in this aspect.
She still remembered how a few years ago, she made him guess the name of the small lake in the snowy mountains of the capital. He could not figure it out even after guessing for a long time.
Jane Ronan winked at him and said, "Mr Carter, I'll give you one more chance. If you guess it right, there will be a big reward."
"Is your company going to start a new project? You have a participation and the project is your favorite, on wedding dress designing. " Hearing that there was a reward, Edwin Carter said everything he knew in one go.
"Edwin Carter, you didn't know about this beforehand. do vou?" Jane Ronan was not stupid. She would definitely suspect something when she heard him say something so accurate in one breath.
"Know what?" If there was a need to act, Chairman Carter's IQ was not low and he was swift in covering his thoughts.
"What did you just say?"
"You mean I guessed it correctly?" Edwin Carter's expression was even more astonished than Jane Ronan's, to the point that Jane had no choice but to believe that he did not know anything beforehand.
Jane said, "You guessed right." Edwin Carter chuckled, "What about the reward?"
Jane Ronan looked around, and said in a low voice, "Lower your head."
Edwin Carter obediently lowered his head. Jane Ronan wrapped her arms around his neck, and quickly kissed his cheeks before leaving again quickly. ‘
She blushed and said, "This is the reward."
Edwin Carter caressed the cheek that had been kissed by her, as if he could still feel the gentle sensation of her soft and tender lips on his face, accompanied by a little bit of fragrance and sweetness.
He nodded and said, "Yes, I really like this reward."
Jane Ronan smiled bashfully, "Then let's go. I'll treat you to lunch."
Edwin Carter asked, "Have you brought enough money, Mrs Carter?"
Hearing Edwin Carter's question, Jane Ronan actually opened her bag to take a look. She didn't bring her card and there was only 50 dollars in her bag.
"It should be enough." Jane felt that 50 dollars wasn't a small sum. The two of them could choose a restaurant with an acceptable environment and have a meal. "What if it's not enough?" "What do you want to eat?"
"Abalone, lobster, shark fin, swallow nest... Are you able to treat?"
"Sure. At most, when I won't be able to pay, I can help to wash the dishes in the restaurant. At that time, will you be willing to watch me help them wash the dishes?"
Chairman Carter obviously wouldn't let his wife help others wash the dishes, so he chose a cheap restaurant when Jane Ronan only had 50 dollars in her bag to treat him. They ended in an average restaurant.
It was a place selling spicy rice cake. Edwin Carter did not take spicy food so she specially ordered two dishes for him that were non spicy.
While ordering the dishes, Jane Ronan counted with her fingers to see if it had exceeded her budget.
With four dishes and a soup, she paid a total of 40 dollars and had 10 dollars left. Suddenly, Jane Ronan felt that she was rich.
She moved closer to Edwin Carter and asked, "Mr Carter, I still have money, do you want to get something to drink?"
"Two cans of coconut juice then." "Why don't you accompany me for a beer?"
Jane Ronan had trained her body's capacity for alcohol before but she hadn't drank any for a long time. Recently, she had been a little greedy so she wanted to drink two cups.
The bad things that happened at home were all over and now she wanted to celebrate the new beginning. Janell was fine, Edwin Carter was fine and her career would soon be fine as well.
Everything was back to normal for now. Jane Ronan just wanted to drink some alcohol and
Jane Ronan just wanted to drink some alcohol and celebrate with Edwin Carter.
"You want to drink it?"
"Of course I do." Jane Ronan nodded her head with all her might. If she didn't want to drink, why would she ask him?
"Alright." Edwin Carter waved to call the waiter over and asked for two bottles of frozen beer. Just as the waiter was getting the beer, Edwin Carter called for him to change them into room temperature beer.
In the blazing summer, it was comfortable to drink ice, but Jane Ronan's physique was cold so she could not take ice cold food. Thus Edwin Carter had to take extra care of her food intake.
However, Jane Ronan did not notice all these, and she was a little dissatisfied, "Mr Carter, it's better to drink beer that had been iced."
"It's good to drink at normal temperature." Edwin Carter did not explain anything to her. He had never been one to explain. He only cared for her quietly.
"You must never have had a beer before, otherwise you wouldn't be so stupid to say that beer at room temperature is just delicious." To Jane Ronan, warm beers were hard to swallow.
The smell was unspeakably unpleasant but it was still icy and comfortable enough to drink.
Jane Ronan was looking at the people at the table next to them, drinking the cup of frozen beer in a gulp, having the refreshing feeling drive away the last heat of summer.
Facing Jane Ronan's resentful eyes, Edwin Carter only found it funny. He said, " Then we won‘t drink beer. Let's drink coconut juice instead."
"Alright. Drink coconut juice then." As long as she celebrated with Edwin Carter, it didn't matter what she drank. The key point was that she was in high spirits and Edwin Carter was by her side.
Edwin Carter also got the waiter to change the room temperature beer into two cans to coconut juice.
Fortunately, the man at the table was handsome so when he looked into the eyes of the waiter, her face remained sincere without a single trace of impatience.
CHAPTER 534 WHAT EXACTLY OS THE RELATIONSHIP
The dishes were served quickly. Before the coconut juice had even arrived, the dishes had already been served. The first dish was a spicy dish, a dry pot of beer and duck.
When Jane Ronan saw this, the spiciness rushed up her throat and she was so greedy that she almost drooled, while Edwin Carter constantly frowned.
When he had just ordered his dishes, he instructed for them to be cooked with minimal spiciness,just a little so he would not see any chili pepper. Who knew that most of the dishes came with red chili peppers.
Edwin Carter really wanted to bring Jane Ronan to another restaurant but if he had said it out, Jane Ronan would definitely be disappointed so he could only endure it.
Jane Ronan picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat. This burning hot taste was indeed pleasurable, to be able to make her whole body break out in sweat, it was extremely satisfying.
Seeing that Jane Ronan was enjoying her meal, Edwin Carter frowned even more. If she ate such spicy food, her stomach and spleen would definitely feel uncomfortable.
He poured himself a bowl of boiled water. He had never eaten spicy food before. After he washed the duck in the bowl, he ate one piece after another without stopping his chopsticks.
Seeing Edwin Carter eat so earnestly, Jane Ronan asked, "Do you think that this dish is very delicious? Shall we order another serving?"
"No need. It's enough to eat." Edwin Carter's tongue was about to lose its sense of taste.
It was not that he felt that this dish wasn't tasty, but rather he didn't want Jane Ronan to feel uncomfortable eating such a spicy dish.
Jane Ronan also picked up a piece of suck and rinsed it in boiling water before placing it in Edwin Carter's bowl, "You don't eat spicy dishes in the past, how come you can eat so much today?"
Edwin Carter drank a mouthful of water from his teacup and said, "if you treat me to a meal, I'll accept anything. If not it means not giving you a face."
"Who wants you to give me face? You cannot eat spicy food. What if it makes your stomach unwell?" Hearing Edwin Carter's silly reply, Jane Ronan felt that he was really stupid.
Edwin Carter replied, " I've changed my appetite recently. Furthermore, I am not our Janell, how would I not know if my stomach cannot accept it?"
"Our Janell is not as ignorant as you."
"Alright. alright. alright. You're right.“
Edwin Carterjust lets her think what she likes, as long as she's happy.
Jane Ronan then said, "When I get my salary from work, I will treat you to some delicious food and go to a higher class restaurant."
Edwin Carter nodded his head, "Alright, then I will wait for you to collect your salary before treating me to a delicious meal."
Edwin Carter understood that even though their child was already several years old, Jane Ronan was still unwilling to swipe his card and spend his money.
Perhaps in her mind, there is a more deep-rooted thought, to earn one‘s own money and spend one's own money hard.
The reason why she had such thoughts was likely due to the environment she grew up in.
Jane Ronan's mother had practically lived her entire life dependent on Jonathan Ronan, and had suffered all the bullying from him.
Jane Ronan didn't want her to be married like her mother so in her marriage life, she had always been independent.
Edwin Carter would never force her to swipe his card. In any case, the two of them had to understand each other and each other's relationship.
In the beginning, Jane Ronan did not understand that Edwin Carter did it for her but later on, she understood that it was because of her.
Edwin Carter, this stupid man is really stupid. Why did he do such a silly thing?
Jane Ronan was an adult and she could take care of herself without him being so considerate.
…………….
Jiangbei at the end of September was getting warm. It was not as hot as August and not as cold as winter. It was the best season of the year.
Jane Ronan had already been on duty for two days and joined a new department. Her relationship with her colleagues had also improved and she worked hard as she had passed her days comfortably.
"Jane Ronan, what is your relationship with Shengtian's Chairman Carter?"
While Jane was busy drawing the design draft, a colleague came close to her and asked.
There were many rumors about Edwin Carter in the outside world, but because the two of them did not hold a wedding, and did not announce it to the public, Edwin Carter's marriage had always been the focus of everyone's attention.
Everyone knew that Edwin Carter had a child but the child had not appeared in front of the public. No one knew who gave him a child.
Therefore, people would often discuss about the person who had given birth to the child of the man in charge of Shengtian. Was he really married?
This was the first time someone asked Jane Ronan this question. Jane Ronan really wanted to speak the truth, but others would not believe her.
Although she was rather famous in the lingerie design world, she couldn't compare to the chairman at all.
At the beginning, she didn't choose to marry Edwin Carter because of his money. It was also a long time later she married Edwin Carter that she found out that Edwin Carter was the Leon Carter from the legend of Shengtian when she got pregnant with Janell.
Therefore, when everybody asked Jane Ronan, she just gave a casual answer, "We are friends."
As for the relationship between them, she would let everyone guess. In any case, it would not affect her life with Edwin Carter.
Edwin Carter sent her to work every day and they would eat lunch together. At night, he would definitely wait for her downstairs to end work. With such a close relationship, no one would believe they were just ordinary friends.
" As the saying goes, a fair lady is a noble. Our Jane Ronan is so beautiful, it is not unexpected for Shengtian's chairman to want to woo her." Another colleague said.
Although that was what was said, many people, especially women, looked at Jane Ronan with eyes that seemed to be able to go crazy with jealousy.
No matter what others said, Jane Ronan only smiled faintly. The relationship between her and Edwin Carter was between the two of them and there was no need to explain it to others so clearly.
When Jane Ronan walked out of the office at night, she still saw Edwin Carter waiting for her. It was as if she was busy at work and he had nothing to do at work.
In fact, Jane Ronan knew that Edwin Carter was the one who was really busy. He would spend some time with her during the day and work overtime at night.
Jane Ronan sat in the front passenger seat and said, "Edwin Carter, you don't have to come and pick me up. I know how to get home and I won't leave to go elsewhere."
"If you leave, who would I go crying to?" Although this was the joke on Edwin Carter's part, Edwin Carter still thought this way.
He was trying to deal with Tyrion and Luis George had not confirmed that the mysterious person was actually Michael George so he still had to ensure Jane Ronan's safety.
Letting her bring a bodyguard to work, he felt that it was too obvious and she would not want to... In fact, if her Edwin Carter sent her to work personally, that would be true publicity of protection.
Edwin Carter said, "Come, let me bring you to a place."
Jane Ronan blinked her eyes and asked, "Where are we going?"
Edwin Carter said, "You'll know when we get there."
Jane Ronan replied, "And you've become mysterious again."
Upstairs, a pair of eyes had been watching them as their car slowly pulled into the main street of the city, merging into the traffic.
CHAPTER 535 THREAT
Watching as Edwin Carter and the others drove off, just as he retracted his gaze, his phone suddenly rang.
He picked up the phone and answered, "Didn't say you shouldn't contact me? If there's anything, I will naturally call you."
No one knew what the person on the other end of the line said, but the person's hand that was holding the phone suddenly tightened and the voice that came out of his mouth became even colder, "You are already a clay buddha that is unable to protect itself. Take care of yourself first. It's not up to you to worry about me. "
With that, the person cut off the phone and clenched his fingers tightly around the phone. If the phone wasn't strong enough, it might have been broken by him already.
At the same time, he also brought Jane Ronan to design a wedding dress for them. He got Ivan to help them make the wedding dress and a sample of the wedding dress.
Ivan looked at Edwin Carter and said unhappily, "Leon, don't just rely on your smelly money if you want to use me as your personal designer."
Edwin Carter snorted lightly and said, "Don't tell me that you're scheming because you like it, and not because of money."
"You're right," said Ivan. "I designed it because I liked it, not because I wanted to make money."
Edwin Carter said, "If you don't have the money, how would you make your designs?"
When Edwin Carter said this, Ivan felt that it was not without reason, that things still needed to be done with money.
However, even though he needed money, he had many ways of making money, and he might not have to follow the orders of the Chairman Carter.
"I need to rest. See the guests out!” Ivan ordered his assistant. No matter what kind of clothes he designed, he would always do it when he is in the mood. Even if Chairman Carter himself came to visit him, he would still not give him any face.
"Ivan, do you still want to continue opening your studio in Jiangbei?" Edwin Carter said in a neither light nor heavy manner.
Edwin Carter's words were said easily, but anyone with a discerning eye would know that he was threatening Ivan. As long as Edwin Carter opened his mouth, everyone could tell that Ivan would not be able to stay in Jiangbei for another minute longer.
Not only could he not stay in Jiangbei, if Edwin Carter really wanted to cause trouble for him, he would make Ivan disappear from the design circle.
But they had still become friends, after knowing each other for many years. Edwin Carter had his own methods to deal with his enemies, but he was still friendly towards his friends.
Real friends?
Just by looking at how Ivan did it, one could tell if Edwin Carter was truly friendly or not.
Ivan gave Edwin Carter a fierce stare and instructed his assistant to take measurements for Jane Ronan and to inform them that they can look at the sample ten days later.
Ivan's assistant really did obediently went to relay the message to Edwin Carter who raised his hand, signalling for her to stop.
If he was forced to accept the order, Ivan would not be the least bit sloppy.
As expected of the world's top clothing designer, even if one were to measure Jane Ronan's size, they would be more meticulous than others and wouldn't allow even the slightest mistake.
However, throughout the whole process, Ivan had kept a straight face and his tone was not very good. After being threatened by Edwin Carter, he could only whine and throw a tantrum.
When leaving, Jane Ronan thought about lvan's sullen look just now and burst out laughing, "Mr Carter, how could you be like this? You are clearly just trying to get someone to do something for you, yet you're threatening them. How desperate are you for lvan?"
Edwin Carter said, "How many people have you seen asking others for help, and how many have you accomplished such a thing?"
Jane Ronan seriously thought about it, and really did not see many people who could accomplish anything by begging for help.
Edwin Carter continued, "Doing things for others, the efficiency in doing it is very low. I know it's inefficient, but why would I ask for it? Why not use such a good method to threaten others and tempt them?"
"What kind of logic is that?" Jane Ronan never thought that her Mr Carter would actually be this kind of Mr Carter.
Edwin Carter looked at Jane Ronan and stated sincerely, "I am only trying to reason with you. In our society, what methods do not work, what methods work best. Whether or not a task can be completed will only depend on the result and not the process."
Jane Ronan pouted, "Are you teaching me?"
Edwin Carter rubbed her head, "I'm letting you know, I have many sides that you don't know about, maybe you won't be able to accept that side, maybe..."
Jane Ronan raised her hand to cover Edwin Carter's mouth, and said, "I already said, no matter what you do, I will always be your most loyal supporter."
No matter if she was right or wrong, no matter what, she would always stand behind him to support him.
Edwin Carter held Jane Ronan's hand and said, "Thank you Mrs Carter for trusting me so much."
Two tigers, two tigers...
Suddenly, a nursery rhyme and two tigers sounded,
However, this time it was not Edwin Carter's phone that rang, but Jane Ronan's phone that rang. Janell liked to use the two tigers as her ringtone.
Jane Ronan took out her phone to see. She had not seen him for a while, and recently, her elusive brother Robert Michael had called her.
Jane Ronan asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"
Robert Michael said, "Let's meet tomorrow afternoon. I have something to talk to you about."
Jane Ronan nodded, "Oh okay."
…
The second day was Sunday, and Robert Michael had arranged to meet Jane Ronan at his home.
Every time before Jane Ronan wanted to go to his house, he would find someone to clean it up.
When Jane Ronan arrived, it was 11 in the morning. Robert Michael was busy cooking. He said that he wanted to cook two dishes, to let Jane Ronan have a taste of his culinary arts.
Jane Ronan stood at the kitchen entrance. Seeing Robert Michael's flustered hands and feet, she really wanted to help him but just as she took a step forward, she was pushed back by Robert Michael.
He said, "I said I'd make it for you. Just wait in the living room."
Jane Ronan said, "I'm worried that you might have blown up the kitchen."
Robert Michael glared at her, "Try talking again."
Jane Ronan shrugged, "Then I won't say anymore. Oh, what did you call me here for today?"
Robert Michael carried the dishes that were about to be burnt onto the tabIe and said, "I missed you, so I invited you over to my house to visit."
Jane Ronan said, "Didn't you always run to Kyoto yourself when you missed me in the past?"
Robert Michael had previously said before that when thinking about the mother and daughter pair, they would run over to Kyoto. Not only would they see Jane Ronan, they could even play with him.
Yesterday, he had formally called Jane Ronan and said that he had something he wanted to talk to her about. Now that she had come today, he said that he was fine.
It was unknown if he was too idle or if he felt that she was too idle to actually play such a boring game.
Robert Michael said, "In the future, if you have time, come visit me often. It's even better if you can bring Janell along. "
CHAPTER 536 FAMILIAR TASTE
Jane Ronan looked at Robert Michael and after observing him carefully, she asked, "Brother, did you get into an awkward situation with Edwin Carter?"
Robert Carter raised his head and looked at her, "Silly girl, what are you thinking about? Why would I get mad at that piece of wood of yours?"
Jane Ronan continues, "Anyways, I feel that you're acting weird today."
Robert Michael was a lazy person so usually, he would feel that it was a waste of his time to eat. Today was truly the day when the sun had risen from the west and he actually took the initiative to cook a meal.
"How am | weird?" With that, Robert Michael pushed a plate of Beijing mince meat in front of Jane Ronan and said, "I'm your brother. Do you still need a reason for me to cook for you?"
Seeing the dish that had an extremely delicious smell and color, Jane Ronan's eyes lit up.
The mince meat of Beijing was a tasty dish that included all the flavors in the capital. This dish is salty and sweet, rich in sauce and unique in flavor.
As the ingredients used were simple, it was a necessary household dish at the dinning tables of many families in the capital. It was also a dish that her mother often cooked.
The reason why Jane Ronan's mother often cooked was because Jane liked to eat them.
And the reason why Jane Ronan liked to eat it was because the dish cooked by her mother was very delicious.
Every time there was such a dish on the dining table, Jane Ronan would be able to eat with an extra bowl of rice.
Looking at Jane Ronan's shining eyes, Robert Michael laughed, "I know you like to eat this dish. I've spent hours trying to make this final product countless times in order to cook this one time for you."
"Let's not talk about whether it tastes good. Just your kind intentions made me feel so sweet into the bones." Jane Ronan picked up a piece of meat and threw it into her mouth, causing the meat to melt in her mouth.
Jane Ronan had not tasted such a profound memory in a long time. In her memory, only her mother could create such a taste.
A few years ago, when Jane Ronan left Kyoto to come to Jiangbei, she had been to many of the restaurants to find a dish which tasted similar to that created by her mother.
Just when she thought that she would never be able to taste the delicious Beijing mince meat made by her mother again in her lifetime, her brother who had never cooked before, actually made it.
Eating the dish, Jane Ronan finally tasted the taste which she had missed for a long time. She thought of her mother who had passed away a few years ago, and tears unconsciously welled up in her eyes.
Seeing that Jane Ronan was about to cry, Robert Michael asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Doesn't it taste good? If it's not tasty, then don't eat it. You're a grown up, do you still intend to cry for me to comfort you?"
Jane Ronan shook her head, with tears flashing, she laughed and said, "Brother, it's not that it's not tasty. It's just too tasty. It's really too tasty!"
"If this is too delicious, then why are you crying?" Robert Michael rolled his eyes and said, "If father saw you like this, he will think that l was bullying you.
Jane Ronan said, "I was only thinking of my mother."
Maybe this was not the taste of her mother's cooking, but because this was something made by her family member, Jane Ronan felt that it was familiar and that it was the most delicious food in the world.
Robert Michael picked up a tissue and roughly wiped Jane Ronan's tears, "Enough, don't cry."
Jane Ronan sniffed, "I'm just too happy.“
Robert Michael said, "If you like it, then come here often in the future. I'll make it for you everyday."
Jane Ronan then asked again, "Brother, when did you change your personality?"
"What about your temper? If it wasn't for the fact that you are my blood sister, you would be the most worried person in your father's life." Originally, their father had wanted to accomplish one last task which was to reunite with the two of them. However, after their father set out to do so, he never returned.
As he spoke, Robert Michael lifted his head to glance at the door of the study. It was difficult to hide the heartache in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.
"Brother, can you tell me more about father?" Jane Ronan really wanted to know more about their father.
For her father to make her mother love him so much, Jane Ronan believed that her father must be an outstanding man.
It was just that fate messed with people, and it didn't manage to make her father and mother love for long. It wasn't like she was lucky enough to see for long. It wasn't like she was lucky enough to see her own father in this lifetime.
"Our father was a very good man. He loved his job, he respected his wife, he loved his children. Whether it's someone you know or someone you don't know, someone with a high position or someone with a low position, he treats all of them equally and definitely won't underestimate them."
"My father used to tell me that if you want to live a life which is only a few decades, you must live fair and square. In my heart, my father is an indomitable hero."
Speaking of his father, Robert Michael heaved a long sigh and his thoughts flew far, far away.
His mother and father were married because of family interests. There was no love between them but after the marriage, his father still doted on his mother.
The behavior of his father for his mother was not love, but he did his duty as a husband to take good care of his wife and children.
Her mother's evaluation for her father was also very high. In her mother's short life, what she was most thankful for was her father's company and care.
If it had been anyone else, marrying someone that they didn't love and who had been afflicted with an illness, no one would have been able to be as patient with their wife as their father had been until she left in peace.
In Robert Michael's heart, their father was such an indomitable hero. He was always looking out for others, and he had never done anything that he felt wronged about.
However, none of them expected that their father would end up like that. He died in a car accident and not even a complete corpse could be found. In the end, they also randomly found part of a skeleton at the scene and buried it as their father's corpse.
"In my heart, father is also a hero." Listening to Robert Michael talk about their father, Jane Ronan pursed her lips and laughed softly.
When she found out that she wasn't actually the daughter of that beast, Jonathan Ronan, and that her own biological father and mother were so much in love, Jane Ronan had fantasized about her father's appearance more than once.
Her father, who must have been a good looking man, must have been gentle, and would not have spoken too loudly to her mother.
Jane Ronan had never interacted with her father before so she did not know what her father looked like.
She heard from Robert Michael that after her father completed his work, he would go to Ronan before so she did not know what her father looked like.
She heard from Robert Michael that after her father completed his work, he would go to the Ronan family to pick up her and her mother home.
But something had happened to her father. When her father met with an accident, he must have still been hanging by her and her mother's side... He was worried about his beloved woman and child, but he was powerless.
CHAPTER 537 IF MY FATHER IS STILL ALIVE
Jane Ronan could understand her father's feelings at that time, because she had been through the same thing before.
Once, she had laid on the cold, bloody operating table and watched as her child was removed from her by cesarean section, but there was nothing she could do.
"Of course, if... I said if... One day, your father will come back to you, but he has already become unrecognizable, will you be willing to meet him?" Suddenly Robert Michael asked this hypothetical question.
"Father is my father. No matter what he turns into, he is still my father." Hearing this question, Jane Ronan did not think much and blurted out her thoughts.
However, she immediately realized that her father had already been dead for many years and he would never return to her side again.
She muttered to herself, "How could I dare to hope that my father, who had passed away more than twenty years ago, would still be able to return to my side?"
Robert Michael laughed with satisfaction, "Regardless of whether father comes back or not, i think that if he could hear what you said, he would definitely be very happy."
."Alright, let's not talk about these assumptions anymore. Let's eat." The brother and sister pair rarely got together to eat. Jane Ronan did not want to ruin the atmosphere because of the topic.
She took another big mouthful of the dish and said, "It's rare that you, Mr Robert Michael, personally cook. I'll definitely eat a lot and be full. I definitely won't go back with an empty stomach."
Seeing that Jane Ronan was enjoying her meal, Robert Michael was also happy in his heart. "If you like it, eat more."
Jane Ronan stared at him blankly. "Brother, can you not be like this? If you are like this, I will think that this is not you. Don't make me worry."
Robert Michael sighed and said, "I'm just getting on in years, with a family member like you by my side, just want to care for you a little more."
"Are you trying to say that I don't care enough about you, that I should care more about you in the future?" Jane Ronan admitted that she did not even manage to settle the matters of her own family and had forgotten about Robert Michael.
He was already so old and didn't even have a girlfriend, so his life definitely wouldn‘t be easy.
Especially when he slept at night, he was the only person in such a wide house. There wasn't even a single person speaking to him, so he was sure to be lonely and empty.
"Girl, I do care about you and I am happy with the way you care for me. What are you talking about with me?" Robert Michael glared at Jane Ronan in dissatisfaction.
"I'm just worried about you." Jane Ronan winked at him and laughed slyly.
"Hurry up and eat it. if the minced meat dish gets cold, it won't taste good anymore." Robert Michael looked at Jane Ronan as if he had a lot of things to say to her but he didn't say anything, and only said one sentence in the end, "Of course, other than Edwin Carter, your family loves you a lot too."
"Brother, what are you trying to say?" Jane Ronan felt more strongly that there was something wrong with her brother. His words were always weird, but what was he thinking?
"I just want to tell you that many of us love you. No matter where you are, you are not the only one."
Robert Michael spoke very seriously.
"Brother, are you sick?" Jane Ronan felt that he must be sick to be able to say something that he would never be able to say.
She extended her hand to check on Robert Michael's forehead but was slapped away but him, "Girl, I'm just speaking to you nicely. You're crazy."
Jane Ronan retracted the hand that he had slapped painfully, pouted and said, "Are you sure you're talking to me properly? But I'd rather you talk to me like how you used to."
Her older brother did not usually have much time to spare, and she was sure he would have been worried, so he was suddenly being so serious about her and saying something worrisome.
"Eat! Eat! Eat! Leave quickly! Otherwise, your Chairman Carter will send me an arrest warrant!" This girl was very sensitive so Robert Michael had to quickly chase her away.
After leaving Robert Michael's place, Jane Ronan's mind was still filled with thoughts of her own father.
She had seen pictures of her father and the resemblance between him and her brother but she felt that her father was better looking than her brother.
He was so handsome and charismatic. If she was her mother back then, she would definitely be moved by her father.
Thinking up to here, Jane Ronan smiled again... It seemed that her taste was about the same as her mother. Back then, when her mother saw Edwin Cater, she also liked him immensely.
When she thought of her father and related matters, Jane Ronan naturally thought of the
matters, Jane Ronan naturally thought of the people and matters in the capital. She naturally thought of Laura, whom she had not seen for a good while.
The last time she had seen Laura, she was already three months pregnant. Counting the date, the child should be around five to six months old, so her stomach should be very obvious by now.
Thinking about Laura, Jane Ronan took out her phone and called her. After dialing a few numbers, she got a reply, "Hello?"
"Laura, it's me." Hearing Laura's voice, Jane Ronan felt really close and warm, and a warm smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
"Of course I know it's you. I'm not blind or stupid." On the other side of the phone, Laura was still talking casually, as if nothing had changed for many years.
Jane Ronan was too used to her tone, she laughed and asked, " Everything is running smoothly in the United States right?"
Laura said, "Yourfamily man did not give my man any complicated work to do. He went to work on time in the day and got off work on time. He felt great about it."
Jane Ronan asked again, "How is the child? Have you been kicked?"
Mentioning the child, Laura suddenly raised her voice, "Speaking of this bastard, I got angry and he kicked me twice. He's bullying me right now. When he's born, I'll teach him a lesson."
"Bastard? Is it really a boy?" Jane Ronan laughed and said, "When he is born, you will no longer be willing to part with him."
"Yes I went to check a few days ago and confirmed that it is a boy." Saying that, Laura suddenly laughed, "My baby is a boy. Although he is still a few years younger than yours, I think he should be able to chase after her in the future."
"Laura, actually, I am more inclined to Janell finding someone older than her. Only then will there be someone to take care of her. When your baby is born, he will be four or five years younger than my Janell."
For her precious daughter, Jane Ronan was not afraid of offending her best friend. Furthermore, Laura would not be angry with her.
Without waiting for Laura to speak, Jane Ronan continued, "Our family's Janell is not good enough, but I can still give Janell a sister. In the future, your son can chase after Janell's sister."
Hearing that Jane Ronan wanted to give birth to a sister, Laura shouted excitedly, "Of course! Are you having one?"
CHAPTER 538 LARGE SWINDLING PAPER
"What is it?" Jane Ronan was about to turn deaf from Laura's loud roar, for a moment, she really couldn't react to Laura's question.
"You just said you would give birth to Janell's little sister. That must be good news for you." Laura said while laughing. "How many months are you right now? When is your due date? We can nurse the babies together in the future."
"No, I'm not..." Jane Ronan subconsciously stroked her stomach. She would like to have another child in her womb, but she was not having it.
She also didn't know if she would ever have the honor of having another child with Edwin Carter in this lifetime.
"I understand. It must not have been three months so you cannot tell others yet. Don't worry, my mouth is sealed. I definitely won't tell anyone."
On the other end of the phone, Jane Ronan could feel Laura patting her chest as she guaranteed her that her secret was safe.
"I really don't have one!" It wasn't that Jane Ronan was lying to her but she really wasn't pregnant. She couldn't possibly be spouting nonsense right?
There were some things that Laura would definitely not say. She would not tell even if she were beaten to death. However, there were some things that once Laura knew, it is similar to letting the whole world know.
She still remembered that in her third year, there was a guy in the same class who was chasing after a girl. Laura pestered him to dig out the girl's name from the mouth of the guy.
Before there was a conclusion to that morning lesson, the news of the relationship between the boy and the girl had already been spread all over the school.
From then on, the students had given Laura the nickname "Big mouth".
"Alright, stop explaining. I understand." Laura said again, " My man will soon finish his work here. When I return, I will look for you." “
Jane Ronan, Can you even wait to have children together?
Laura thought that she was carrying Nezha inside her stomach, and that the baby would only be born after a few years.
After ending the call, Jane Ronan looked up at the sky.
Today's weather was very good, the sky was clear and cloudless, just like Jane Ronan's current mood.
Life was back on track. She could go to her big brother's house for meals, chat with her friends and walk around. This is what is called a good day.
Jane Ronan was in a good mood. She called Edwin Carter on the way home and found that Edwin Carter had gone for a short business trip so he would probably not be able to return home until the evening.
Jane Ronan returned home in a happy mood. Not long after she entered the courtyard, she saw a tiny Janell sitting in the courtyard with a chain in her hand. She didn't even notice Jane as she continued to move around her feet.
For some reasons, when Jane Ronan looked at this, her heart ached. She wanted to get close to Janell but she couldn't move her feet no matter how hard she tried.
Maybe because she saw her, she remembered when she abandoned Janell and ran towards her. After circling around Janell twice, she once again called out to her.
Jane Ronan knew, and was continuously telling herself that Janell was very sad...
Jane Ronan held onto the chain gently and walked closer to Janell. When she was near, she heard Janell say, "Big brother Lucas, quickly appear! Big brother Lucas, quickly appear!"
Janell shouted again and again, again and again... She kept calling for her big brother Lucas.
However her big brother Lucas did not appear to see her.
After shouting for a long time, Janell blinked her beautiful big eyes and her small mouth shaped into a flat shape.
"It's okay..." Jane Ronan walked over and carried Janell in her arms. She stroked her head, "If big brother Lucas did not come here, Mom and Dad will accompany you."
"Big brother Lucas is lying! Big brother Lucas is such a liar!" Janell cried until she was muddled but she did not forget to speak of her big brother Lucas.
She remembered firmly that when big brother Lucas handed her this chain, he told her that if she ever thought about him, she could should at the chain, "Hurry up and show up," and that he would quickly appear by her side.
But she had already shouted for a very long time, and big brother Lucas still hadn't appeared. She felt very sad that she wasn't able to see big brother Lucas.
Jane Ronan comforted her softly, "Don't worry, big brother Lucas did not lie. Trust and believe in big brother Lucas okay?"
Janell raised her small head and asked sorrowfully, "Then why didn't big brother Lucas appear?"
Jane Ronan said, "It's because big brother Lucas went to a very far place and he could not hear the voice of Janell, that's why he didn't appear."
Janell asked innocently, "Why does big brother Lucas want to go to such a far place? Did he not like Janell or Janell made him angry?"
"No. Big brother Lucas really likes Janell very much. That's why he left." Jane Ronan sighed and said.
If Lucas didn't really like it, then he definitely wouldn't risk his life to fight the enemy, to the best of his ability in order to protect Janell. He had used all of his strength to the best of his ability to ensure Janell's safety.
"Mom, why?" Janell asked softly.
She didn't understand at all why big brother Lucas left her when he liked her?
Big brother Lucas had promised to stay by her side for the rest of his life to protect her and help her drive away all the bad guys.
"Because..." Jane Ronan caressed Janell's head, suppressing the pain in her heart, and tried her best to explain to Janell, "Because big brother Lucas is waiting, waiting for our Janell to grow up quickly. When Janell grows up, she will be able to see big brother Lucas."
"Yes ..." Previous, Janell listened to her mother who said that she would be able to meet brother Lucas when she grew up. She ate a lot of food and every meal, her bowl was filled to the brim.
If she still wasn't growing up, would brother Lucas not return to her side?
Thinking about how she would never grow up, and how brother Lucas would never come back to her, Janell soundly cried in grief.
"Of course not. We grow up everyday." Jane Ronan did not expect her family's Janell to be so impatient, and to actually want to become an adult in a few days.
She was a child born of her parents, not a bean sprout planted by them. How could she just sprout like that?
"Then when can I grow up?" Janell looked at herself, then looked at her mother, "You will have to grow up to be as tall as your mother."
"However, you can still first reach sixteen years old. When that time comes, you will naturally become a big child and brother Lucas will return to your side." Jane Ronan kissed Janell’s forehead and said gently.
When Janell slowly grows up, she will understand that brother Lucas had gone to a far away place. This place is... heaven!
Right now, Janell was still too young and all she was thinking about was seeing brother Lucas. It would be hard for Jane Ronan to speak the truth to
Janell, and that would definitely make her feel even more sad.
CHAPTER 539 FATHER IS BACK
After sending Jane Ronan off, Robert Michael returned to the living room to sit.
He fixed his complicated gaze at a certain spot. After looking for a long time, he took a deep breath and fiercely punched the tea table. His eyes were filled with anger.
As a son, his father was severely injured and he was sent to the outside world to live a life far worse than death, yet he didn't know what the situation was at all.
If his father had not taken the initiative to find him, he would never have known that his father was still alive.
Back then, his father's figure was so tall and straight. Back then, his father's appearance was so high-spirited. At that time, his father was filled with righteousness...
However, all these years, his father had lived in such a lowly and disgraceful manner...
A man doesn't live like a man, a ghost doesn't live like a ghost... Even his son couldn't recognize him when he saw his father.
Thinking about how much his father had suffered all these years, Robert Michael raised his hand and ruthlessly slapped his face. He hated himself for being so useless, his father had suffered all these years outside but he could not do anything.
Not only was one slap not enough, Robert Michael slapped himself twice, as if this could make his heart feel better.
After a long while, Robert Michael finally got up and walked towards the study room.
Walking to the door of the study, he raised his hand to hold the door handle. Just as he was about to twist it, he suddenly stopped.
He raised his head and took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions. Only when he felt that he could face the person in the study with his usual attitude did he turn the handle of the door.
After opening the door, his gaze immediately fell on the study desk.
Sitting in front of his desk was a man with a head that was mostly white, and there were obvious burn marks on his face. The wounds on his face were so severe that it was almost impossible to recognize his original appearance.
Not only was his face burnt, his back was also hunched. He was tall and thin and he looked around eighty to ninety years old. It was as if he had experienced countless vicissitudes of life to become like this.
However, he was not even sixty years old but the passage of time had left too many scars on his body, causing him to look as if he had aged several tens of years.
This one word was extremely simple, yet it took almost all the strength in Robert Michael‘s body to shout out such a simple word.
His eyes were fixed on the computer screen and it took him a few seconds to blink.
Robert Michael did not call him anymore, but walked to his side slowly, and looked at the computer screen on the desk.
In the display, it showed Jane Ronan, every single one of her expressions and smiles, every single movement, were clearly played back.
When Jane Ronan came, Robert Michael had installed a surveillance camera in the living room. The goal was to record every single detail about her today so that whenever their father missed her, he would be able to look at her.
After accompanying George Michael and watching for a long time, Robert Michael endured the pain in his heart and tried to speak again, "Dad, you've already been watching for a long time, let's stop first and rest for a bit. We can watch it again later?"
"She's my daughter..." As if he didn't hear Robert Michael's words, George Michael pointed at Jane Ronan who was on the screen and laughed, "Look at her eyes. They look very much like her mother's but her eyebrows look just like mine."
"Not only are her eyebrows like yours. she looks like you in many other places.“ Robert Michael laughed bitterly and spoke long with his father.
Jane Ronan was born in the Ronan family and grew up there. Their father was unable to hug Jane since she was born, even until he disappeared.
Towards his child, George Michael did not watch her birth nor grew up with her. She was also born from someone he loved, and the mother and daughter had suffered so much over these years. Naturally, he doted on her a little more than he did on Robert Michael.
As the two of them spoke, tears rolled down from the corners of George Michael's eyes, drop by drop, blurring his vision.
He could not see Jane Ronan clearly from the computer screen, but he could see very clearly in his heart that his daughter was similar to him in many ways.
"Dad, don't do this. You've returned to our side and in the future, you will be able to see Jane and | at any time." Robert Michael looked at his father. Every time he looked at his father's face, his heart would tighten.
Especially when he saw his father's tears, Robert Michael could no longer hold it in. His rage surged like a flood but he could not find any place to vent it.
Now that their father had landed in such a terrible state and that Jayden Lincoln was dead, he couldn't possibly vent the anger on Angela Carter who had nothing to do with what had happened all those years ago.
George Michael didn‘t say anything, only his tears were overflowing as if he was about to let the tears that he had endured for more than twenty years to empty dry at one go.
"Dad..." Robert Michael called out to his father. He wanted to persuade him not to cry but he didn't know how.
The only daughter his father had always been thinking about was the one he had never held.
In the past few days, he could only glance at Jane Ronan from afar as he called her and listened to her voice.
For him to be able to see his daughter at such a close distance and hear her voice, the excited mood of his father could be understood by Robert Michael.
"Of course..." George Michael wiped his tears, his hands trembling as he held them up to the computer screen, his palms pressing onto Jane Ronan's face.
It was clearly an ice-cold computer screen but the moment he touched Jane Ronan's face, George.Michael seemed to be able to feel Jane Ronan's temperature.
"She is my daughter, she is my daughter, she is my daughter, she is my child...“
He kept repeating these words, and each time he bit out a word, his lips trembled slightly.
"Father..." Other than calling him father, Robert Michael really did not know what else he could say.
In the past twenty years or so, his father had lived a dark life and he wished that he could bear all of the hardships his father had gone through.
"Robert, you sure you will recognize me as your father?" George Michael withdrew his hands as if he was frightened, his hands covering his face, "No, no, no... I can't let her see me like this. I can't scare her."
Robert Michael threw himself forward and grabbed both of George Michael's hands, then said heavily, "Dad, don't be like this. You heard it right? No matter what you turn into, you are still her father and she will definitely not deny it."
"No, I don't want to scare her, You mustn't let her know of my existence." George Michael looked around, pushed Robert Michael aside and hid under the desk, "Don't let her find me, l don't want her to find me." ‘
Robert Michael knelt down and pulled George around, pushed Robert Michael aside and hid under the desk, "Don't let her find me, I don't want her to find me."
Robert Michael knelt down and pulled George Michael's hands, consoling him, "Dad, Jane is your biological daughter and my sister, I know her better than you do, she desperately wants family love."
CHAPTER 540 CRIME COMMITTED
"You don't understand." George Michael shook his head, he was still unwilling to come out from under the desk.
Instead of letting his daughter see that he was neither like a human or a ghost, he would rather be a dead man.
Admitting that he had died long ago, and leaving the image of a righteous hero from many years ago in the heart of his daughter.
To be the hero in her heart forever! It was because he was timid.
He felt so small that he didn't dare to face his daughter formally when he thought of the look of terror and despise she might have when she looked at him.
Just like these days, he looked at her from afar, guarding her, knowing that she was safe and healthy and he was satisfied.
But he was not so easily satisfied. He looked at her from a distance, he wanted to hear her voice and when he heard her voice, he wanted to hold her.
Humans were such strange creatures that they would never be satisfied with the status quo. Once their wishes had been fulfilled, they would immediately come up with new ideas and wishes.
Seeing his father like this, Robert Michael’s heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife. He then said,
"Dad, you come out first. Now that medicine is so developed, if we go abroad, I will definitely find a good plastic surgeon and let you recover when you are supposed to."
"Robert, can I really have my original appearance back? Is that really possible?" George Michael repeated his questions many times.
If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to reunite with his daughter, returning to his original appearance wouldn't be that important.
But he wanted to recognize his daughter. He wanted to hear her call him father in a beautiful voice. He wanted to hold his daughter in his arms and tell her that she was his daughter.
In his entire life, he thought back on what he had until now. His enemy was already dead and the one who continued to motivate him to live on was his daughter.
"Dad, it can, it definitely can!" Robert Michael helped George Michael up and said, "We’ll tell her once your appearance is restored."
"Can I really recognize her? Would she really be willing to recognize me?" Robert Michael still lacked confidence.
"Dad, you should know. Naturally, she often asks me about you. Of course, I often say how nice it would be if she could see you." Pausing for a moment, Robert Michael continued, "She grew up in the Ronan family. Jonathan Ronan didn't give the mother and daughter any face at all. If not for Christopher Greyson's protection, I'm afraid she would have already been sent away by Jonathan Ronan?
"It was I who let down the mother and daughter duo. It was I who did not have the ability to rescue them from the fire pit. |f| came back that year, I would have brought the mother and daughter pair back from Jonathan Ronan's place. Her mother wouldn't have jumped down to kill herself and she wouldn't have been treated as a traitor and used by others as a pawn."
Mentioning this matter, George Michael felt so much hatred for himself that he pounded his chest and stomped his feet.
He clearly knew that she was his own child but because he did not want to be controlled by Jonathan Ronan, he did not recognize the mother and daughter pair for a few years.
"Dad, this isn't your fault. We all know that you have the mother and daughter in your heart. If it wasn't for the accident and you had your face ruined, you would have crawled back." Robert Michael remembered his father's personality very clearly even though he was still young when he left him.
George Michael said sorrowfully, "These are not excuses nor are they reasons. In short, it was because I was useless that they suffered so much.
If I had even a little bit of use, I wouldn‘t be able to see her mother in such a terrible situation for so many years but I wouldn't be able to save them."
He had always known Jane Ronan was his daughter and that it was Jonathan Ronan and the GU family that had allied against him, to give Jane Ronan's mother to him, hoping to use this opportunity to threaten him to do something for them.
At that time, he was still too young. For the sake of his reputation and ideals, he didn't want to be threatened by them so he continued to do whatever he wanted.
Later on, Jonathan Ronan would help the fake old master Carter to get rid of him. This had a lot to do with not cooperating with them and doing some dirty things.
However at that time, he didn't know who was trying to get rid of him.
After all these years, he slowly found out that the person who truly wanted to put him to death was not the GU family but the hidden old master Carter.
He searched for many years to finally uncover the truth. After confirming that the old master Carter wanted to get rid of him, he started to take revenge.
Who would have thought that when everything was ready for him, to use his own methods to get rid of that old thing, the old thing would be exposed as an imposter?
Even without him doing anything, the identity of his enemy had already been exposed.
Just as he was thinking of ways to go to Jiangbei Military prison to find his enemy, he suddenly heard another piece of news. His enemy was already dead.
He didn't have time to do anything. The person that made his life worse than death was actually killed and died so easily.
In his fury, he had found the most innocent Angela Carterto seek revenge. 9
At that time, his rationality had been clouded by hatred, and he only wanted to take revenge for himself and his daughter. However, he had forgotten that what he had done, made no difference between him and that beast, Jayden Lincoln.
Every time he thought about how Angela Carer had been beaten till black and blue by him and almost lost her life, George Michael felt extremely worried.
He was so worried that he stuttered, "Robert, dad has done something that is worse than an animal.
If Jane knew, she definitely wouldn't forgive me. So let's not tell her that. I don't want to ruin her image of me."
"Dad, do you understand or not? No matter what you become, you are still a father. As the saying goes, knowing one's wrongs can change one's mind. Then... She won't blame you." Speaking of which, Robert Michael also didn't have any confidence.
"No, no, no..." Don't tell her that as long as you let her come to your house regularly, I'll sneak a look at her and listen to hertalk." George Michael retreated again.
To him, being able to listen to his beloved daughter and stealthily glance at her was something he was already satisfied with.
He had thought that he could only live in the dark and be a walking corpse. He had never thought that he would be able to recognize his own son, to see his daughter so closely , to hear her say that in her heart, he was a hero.
In the past, he too felt that he was a hero.
He had never accepted a gift with additional intention from anyone in his entire life, not even in the days when he worked in the government department, during which many people gave him
In the past, he too felt that he was a hero. w
He had never accepted a gift with additional intention from anyone in his entire life, not even in the days when he worked in the government department, during which many people gave him gifts and red packets.
He used his actions to show others what it meant to lead by example.
Once, he could proudly tell himself that he was a hero.
But that car accident had ruined everything for him.
In order to survive, he had drunk the sewage from the ditch, eaten the sour, stinking food from the garbage cans, slept in the dark, damp, haunted house and fought many rats.
CHAPTER 541 BOTTOM LINE
In the past, he had wandered at the border of life and death more than once. If he took the wrong step, he would fall into the bottomless abyss, beyond redemption.
In order to survive, in order to be able to take another look at his child, George Michael clenched his teeth and crawled back one step at a time.
All the suffering he had endured over the years, when he saw his own child, when he heard his own child‘s voice, he felt that all the sufferings had been worth it.
He had also asked himself, was this really worth it?
At the same time, he gave himself a very definite answer. It was worth it!
"Dad, as long as we don't say anything, she will definitely not know about the kidnapping of Angela Carter." For the sake of his family, Robert Michael decided to be selfish and hide the matter of kidnapping.
Jane Ronan was not someone from the Carter family. If she knew that the person who kidnapped her sister-in-law was her biological father, how would she get along with her in the Carter family?
So he had to find a good plastic surgeon and help his father restore his original appearance so that he could meet his sister as soon as possible.
"Robert, like this..." Without saying anything to her, he wanted to pretend that nothing had happened. They had deceived Jane Ronan but it was for her good.
"Dad,just listen to me once. You don‘t do it for you, but you think about it. She loved Edwin Carter and she wanted to live her entire life in the Carter family. When we've told her that, our hearts are free but what's she going to do?" This time, Robert Michael was determined to interrupt him before he finished speaking.
"I..." George Michael admitted that Robert Michael's words were very reasonable.
"Dad, don't think about anything else right now. You should take care of your injuries at home. I'll contact the doctor and once I've found the right person, I'll figure out a way to get you a passport."
"Alright." George Michael was no match for Robert Michael, he sighed and still nodded.
He did not need to restore his original appearance, he only wanted to be able to go out and meet people, and not be scared when others saw him, especially his daughterJane Ronan and granddaughter Janell. He could not scare the two of them.
Robert Michael warned again, "Dad, you must not give Jane any more phone calls or gifts in the future. If you call and don't speak, and she doesn't know who you are, she'll be scared."
"Not anymore." Previously, he was so anxious to contact his daughter that he only wanted to hear her voice. He never thought that she would be afraid when she received an unexpected phone call.
Robert Michael then said, "Dad, then you should rest for awhile. You can watch these recordings at any time."
"I'd like to see some more." Looking at Jane Ronan's face on the computer screen. George Michael once again reached out his hand, using his rough fingers to gently caress Jane Ronan's face, “Of course, Daddy loves you so much."
Hearing these words, Robert Michael's nose could not help but ache.
His father had nightmares every night, in which a voice called out to him and Jane Ronan, telling them to run...
Thinking here, Robert Michael took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions and turned to leave.
…..
Shengtian had grown rapidly in the past few years and their business grew larger and larger.
Although the various subsidiaries, branches and departments of the Shengtian group were filled with talents, helping Edwin Carter with many things, there were still some things that on one was able to decide on for him.
As the leader of Shengtian, Edwin Carter was very busy. He would never rest until the end of the year. But no matter how busy he was, Edwin Carter would take some time out to accompany the child.
Now, he had waited for Jane Ronan to return after so many years. In order to be able to accompany her more, whenever Edwin Carter had some free time, he would rush home.
Today, they were discussing an important project in the outer city. After finishing their work, the partners would treat them to a meal at the best restaurant there.
Edwin Carter didn't like eating outside, but he still had to attend to a few things on the job, and he still showed his face occasionally.
At the dining table, the leader raised a cup of wine and stood up, laughing as he said, "Chairman Carter, let me toast you first. | wish us a happy cooperation."
Edwin Carter did not say anything but Tangyi stood up and said, "Our Chairman Carter does not drink."
It was not that Edwin Carter didn't want to drink. Hejust needed to rush home tonight. He didn't want to let Jane Ronan and Janell smell the scent of alcohol on his body.
"We've also heard that Chairman Carter doesn't drink alcohol. I'll get someone to change to tea for you." The person spoke as he gave a glance within hidden intention to a young and beautiful lady who was standing a few steps behind Edwin Carter.
The woman received the signal and lightly nodded her head. She immediately approached Edwin Carter, and just as she took two steps, she seemed to have tripped over something and as her center of gravity wasn't stable, she pounced towards Edwin Carter.
Tangyi, who was standing beside Edwin Carter, reacted quickly. Just as the lady was about to pounce on Edwin Carter, he quickly turned around, extended his hands out, catching the lady steadily.
Seeing that Tangyi had stopped the trouble, the man was so angry that his heart was trembling. However, he still had to keep smiling as he said,"Look at you, you shouldn't be so careless when walking. Fortunately, Chairman Carter's special forces reacted fast, otherwise if you had touched Chairman Carter, you would have..."
"Director!" Edwin Carter who had been silent the entire time finally spoke up, but the voice was so cold that it made people shiver.
The director nodded his head and bowed as he said, "Chairman Cater, if you have anything, please instruct me."
Edwin Carter waved his hand, took the wet towel that his subordinate had given him and wiped his hands, then said, "Go back and tell your old man, if he really wants to do business with me, he'll come and find me himself."
How could Edwin Carter not see what kind of tricks this fellow was trying to play? And what he hated the most was to use this method to get the two families to work together.
"Chairman Carter, l... I..." When the man regained his senses, Edwin Carter had already taken elegant steps, and walked far away with his people.
Anyone who was familiar with Edwin Carter should know that this was his bottom line and he definitely could not touch it.
The Director's company had prepared for this project for such a longtime and the negotiations were almost done. After clarifying the details, they would be able to sign the contract, but now this director had caused such a ruckus...
"Chairman Carter, do you want to stay at the hotel or go back to Jiangbei tonight?" Tangyi followed closely behind Edwin Carter and asked as they walked.
Edwin Carter did not answer but Tangyi already knew the answer and told others, "We will return to Jiangbei through the night."
Even if they already booked a hotel here, if their Chairman said that they wanted to return the Jiangbei, they would have to rush back there overnight.
Because Edwin Carter's home was in Jiangbei, so no matter where he went, he would always remember that person. Furthermore, he knew that that person must be waiting for him to return.
When he returned home, it was almost midnight. Edwin Carter looked up and saw the light in their room was still on. He knew that Jane Ronan was definitely waiting for him to return home.
CHAPTER 542 UNEASINESS
This afternoon, Jane Ronan had called Edwin Carter, saying that she hadn't called since she was busy with work.
She didn't call not to say she didn't care about him, but that she didn't want to interfere with his work, but every time she would wait at home in silence for him to come back.
It was always the same, never an exception.
Therefore, no matter how busy Edwin Carter was, as long as he could get home, he must come back. How could he bear to let Jane Ronan wait for him all night.
Looking at the light in the room, Edwin Carter felt that the tiredness from working all day had disappeared without a trace.
The corner of his lips curled up unconsciously, and his footsteps sped up automatically. He wished he could appear in front of Jane Ronan in a few steps.
When Edwin Carter walked to the entrance of the
The main building, Jane Ronan was also there. She was wearing pink cartoon pajamas that matched well with Janell's. The dim night light shone on her face, making her look very attractive and pink.
"Why aren't you sleeping?" he asked with a doting smile.
Jane Ronan didn't answer him. Instead, she walked up to him and hooked her arm around his arm. "I've been busy this late. I might as well stay outside and rest in the future."
Edwin Carter rubbed her head and said with a smile, "If I was to rest outside for the night, wouldn't you have to wait all night?"
Jane Ronan glared at him in dissatisfaction. "I'm not a fool. If you call me and tell me you can't come back, I won't be waiting for you anymore.
Edwin Carter suddenly stopped, held her face and said seriously: "But I can't sleep without you."
He didn't know when he got into this habit, but without Jane Ronan lying beside him and him seeing her when he woke up, he would no longer be able to sleep soundly.
Facing Edwin Carter's loving eyes, Jane Ronan's face turned red again. She lowered her eyes and asked,
"Have you had dinner?"
"I didn't." The moment he sat down on the table, his interest was spoiled. Before he even ate anything, Edwin Carter had already led a group of people away.
"I'll cook whatever you want to eat."
"Mouthy noodles." Edwin Carter still remembered that not long after he got married, Jane Ronan made it for him. It tasted pretty good.
"Then go upstairs and take a bath. When you're done, you‘ll be ready to eat."
"I'll accompany you." Edwin Carter wouldn't be hungry if he didn't eat a single meal. He just missed the days of washing vegetables and cooking with her.
"Sure, then you are responsible for washing the vegetables."
"Alright."
So, the couple, one in charge of washing the vegetables and the other in charge of boiling water and preparing the seasonings, soon came out with a bowl of fragrant noodles.
Jane Ronan looked at Edwin Carter expectantly and said, "It's been a long time since I‘ve made this one. I wonder what it tastes like."
Edwin Carter said, "My wife made it. It must be delicious."
Jane Ronan smiled and said, "Then you should eat more."
Edwin Carter ate the noodles while Jane Ronan sat beside him, watching him silently.
No matter how much time had passed, even if the man was the father of a four-year-old child, all his habits remained the same.
Every morning when she opened her eyes, she could see him sitting at the window, reading a newspaper, just as he had on the morning of the second day of their wedding, all those years ago.
Looking at him, Jane Ronan thought of a long time ago. Just as she was lost in thought, she heard Edwin Carter's voice, "Jane Ronan, you went to Robert Michael's place today. Why is he looking for you?"
Jane Ronan shook her head in a daze. "Nothing."
"If you need my help, just tell me." He was just worried that Jane Ronan might have something on her mind, but he was too embarrassed to speak to her.
Jane Ronan blinked and smiled, "I didn't say anything. I just cooked a table for me to eat."
Edwin Carter retorted, "He cooked?"
Jane Ronan: "You also think that it‘s unbelievable, right? I think so too. This person who was usually so lazy suddenly became diligent. If I hadn't seen him in good health, I would have thought he was ill. "
Edwin Carter had been sending people to investigate the mysterious person's situation. The moment he heard Robert Michael's abnormal reaction, he imme
diately thought of the mysterious person.
Edwin Carter had to think more about why a guy who hated cooking oil cigarettes was suddenly willing to cook.
"Edwin Carter, what are you thinking about?" Jane Ronan waved her hand in front of Edwin Carter's eyes.
"Did he say anything to you?" Edwin Carter grabbed her hand and asked again.
"We didn't talk about anything, we just chatted about family matters."
"To give him time and time to come and walk around the house, Janell likes her uncle." Edwin Carter didn't question Jane Ronan anymore. If he asked too many questions, it would easily make Jane Ronan suspicious.
Since he had doubts in his heart, he could just send someone to investigate. Jane Ronan and Edwin Carter returned to the room together. Janell, who was originally asleep, sat up
with fear written all over her big eyes.
"Of course!" Jane Ronan quickly walked over and hugged the insecure Janell, patting him on the back gently. "Of course, don't be afraid. Mom and Dad are both here."
"Mom ..." Only after a long time did Janell react. She threw her head into her mother's arms and tightly gripped her mother's clothes with her two small hands.
"Of course, dad is here too." Edwin Carter hugged the two of them and rubbed Janell's head with one of his hands.
Janell raised her head and blinked her watery eyes. She said softly, "Dad, don't leave Janell behind."
Maybe Brother Lucas suddenly left, Janell felt extremely insecure. She felt that they could leave her side at any time.
"Of course, you are the most pampered darling of Mommy and Daddy, how can Mommy and Daddy not want you?" Edwin Carter carried Janell in his arms and kissed her on the cheek, "Daddy is going to work. Janell will definitely come back to accompany us after work."
Janell blinked her big eyes. She still didn't quite believe what her dad said. because Brother Lucas told her the same thing, but Brother Lucas still left in the end.
She was really scared, scared that her parents were like Big Brother Lucas. When she opened her eyes, she would never see them again.
"Of course, trust Father." Edwin Carter held his daughter tightly and patted her back, trying to give her some strength and a sense of security.
Janell pouted and said, "Daddy can't be fooled."
Edwin Carter nodded heavily and said, "Father will definitely not lie to us."
After spending a lot of time coaxing Janell to sleep, Jane Ronan looked at Edwin Carter with a pained expression and said, "I'm sorry!"
Edwin Carter said, "Stupid? Why did you suddenly apologize to me? "
"You're so busy at work, so tired, and when you get home, you have to coax the kids." Jane Ronan sniffed and blamed herself. "I can't even take good care of my children at home."
CHAPTER 543 DRY VOMITING
"Hmm. it's really useless!" Edwin Carter didn't try to persuade Jane Ronan. On the contrary, he listened to her. Jane Ronan pursed her lips and was about to cry.
"I just coaxed Janell to sleep. is Big Janell trying to coax me to sleep too?" Edwin Carter held her in his arms and said gently. ”Idiot. you don't even know how much power you gave me."
She didn't need her to do anything. She only needed to accompany him by his side. She could give him endless power. allowing him to do anything he wanted freely.
"I didn't!" Jane Ronan felt a bit embarrassed when she thought about how Edwin Carter had raised her so high up in front of her as if she was a child in front of him.
Edwin Carter smiled and said, "Yes or no, I'm the judge."
Jane Ronan felt even more embarrassed. After escaping from his embrace, she went to get his clothes. "Hurry and take a bath, I'll get your pajamas."
Edwin Carter grabbed her back and said, "You rest first, I'll do it myself."
Jane Ronan insisted, "I'll help you."
Edwin Carter's brows twitched as he said with a smile, "You're waiting for me to wash up?"
Jane Ronan: “...”
She only saw how tired he was and wanted to take care of him, what was this man's brain thinking?
She suddenly hated him! What should he do?
"Alright, stay with Janell. Don't scare her." Edwin Carter hugged Jane Ronan and kissed her before turning around to get his pajamas.
Many of the office workers had weekends, but Edwin Carter didn't. He arrived home so late last night and took a rest very late. He got up early in the morning anyway.
After breakfast with his family. he busied himself in his study. picking up calls and video conferencing.
After staying in the study for two hours, he never stopped. He was like a robot. never knowing how tired he was.
Janell's Taekwondo class also did not fall behind. Jane Ronan was still accompanying her in her studies. Both mother and daughter had made great progress.
The coach always praised Lili for being a little girl. She would be able to learn every move very quickly and was extremely talented. In the future, she would definitely become a Taekwondo expert.
Hearing the coach praise Janell, Jane Ronan was even more excited than if she won a prize. She hugged Janell and kissed her again and again.
But Janell was still sullen and rarely said anything. It was hard to even see her smile.
"Of course Jane Ronan wanted to ask Janell if she missed Big Brother Lie, but the moment the words were about to leave her mouth, she swallowed them back.
lf Janell didn't think of Big Brother Lie, and Jane Ronan's words reminded Janell of her sad past, Janell would be sad again.
Jane Ronan carried the sweaty Janell and said, "Mom will carry you to wash up first. After that, I'll take you and your sister out to play, okay?"
"Not good." Janell shook her head as if she had no interest in going out to play.
Jane Ronan was at her wit's end.
After giving Janell a bath, he told her to go and play with Furry. Jane Ronan came to Edwin Carter and discussed: "Edwin Carter. didn't you mention before that you want to adopt a child?"
Edwin Carter raised his head from the pile of documents and asked: "What's wrong?"
“Let's go and adopt a child to keep Janell company," Jane Ronan said.
Edwin Carter said, "Have you decided?“
Jane Ronan nodded. "If she has a partner. she might forget about Big Brother Lie and not be depressed all day."
Edwin Carter thought about it and said, "Alright, I'll get someone to find some suitable children."
Hearing Edwin Carter's words, Jane Ronan said with dissatisfaction, "Edwin Carter, we are giving Janell an adopted brother. Shouldn't we personally go to the orphanage to take a look?"
Edwin Carter said: "They will find the right child and investigate the child's background. Jane“ is our daughter, i won't casually find someone to put by her side to play with. "
In Edwin Carter's heart, adoption of a child meant finding a playmate for Jane”. Therefore, he felt that there was no need to go to the orphanages to find her.
Jane Ronan glared at him before she turned to leave. This was the first time she rea|ized that she couldn't communicate with this man properly.
From her point of view, adopted children naturally went to see others personally. First of all, they had to see the child's character, to know how to get along, and at the same time. to let the child know that they paid a lot of attention to adoption.
Unexpectedly, Edwin Carter treated her like work, how could she not be angry.
Jane Ronan had just walked to the door. but before she could reach the door handle. she was pulled by Edwin Carter into his arms.
He rubbed her head. "Angry?"
Jane Ronan punched him hard on the chest and pushed him, "Edwin Carter, I don't want to talk to you right now, let me go."
She was truly angry.
Edwin Carter admitted defeat. "Alright, I'll accompany you to the orphanage. But I've just mailed them to Daunt, and I've got to give them some time. We'll go after lunch. "
It was always like this. Jane Ronan was so angry that she planned to ignore him for the rest of her life. This was how he used this method to coax her.
It wasn't like he didn't know how nice his voice was and how seductive it was.
Back then. she had agreed to marry him so quickly. In addition to his good looks. it also had something to do with his voice.
Thinking about the people who would sleep in the same bed with him every day. looking good, with a nice voice, it was indeed a very comfortable thing.
After lunch. Edwin Carter accompanied Jane Ronan to the orphanage.
Because of the arrangements made in advance, the President of the Welfare Department had brought a group of people with him.
"Boss Carter, the children are still taking their lunch break right now. Why don't we look at the children's data first. If there's anything you're satisfied with, we'll bring it to you when the child wakes up. "
Edwin Carter didn't answer but looked towards Jane Ronan, who was beside him. Jane Ronan said, "Principal, are there boys around ten years old in our orphanage?"
Jane Ronan had considered every aspect of finding an elder brother for Janell. The age difference was too big. and not everyone could be like Lie Lie who doted on Janeu
If the difference in age is too small, and not very sensible, two people may often produce quarrels and fights, also not.
Jane Ronan thought that being around ten years old was the most appropriate time. Now that she was ten years old and had become sensible, she would take care of Jane“ 3 little. The two of them should be able to get along well.
"There are only two kids in our courtyard that are about ten years old. One of them can't speak and the other one is a little slow." The dean did not know Jane Ronan's identity and did not dare to call anyone out.
Most families want to adopt children because they choose to be younger. The younger they are, the easier it is for them to be adopted. Older children were usually not considered by their adopters.
He didn't know if this super rich person had a different hobby from others. The moment he asked for it, he would ask for such a big child.
Since they didn't find anything suitable in the first orphanage, Edwin Carter accompanied Jane Ronan to the second and third homes to be adopted. Older children were usually not considered by their adopters.
He didn't know if this super rich person had a different hobby from others. The moment he asked for it, he would ask for such a big child.
Since they didn't find anything suitable in the first orphanage, Edwin Carter accompanied Jane Ronan to the second and third homes
After the fourth home. she still hadn't found it. Outside the orphanage, Jane Ronan gloomily walked ahead of her. Even if Edwin Carter called for her, she shouldn't have either.
When the driver came to pick them up. Jane Ronan's stomach churned and she retched from the sudden smell of the gas.
CHAPTER 544 PREGNANT AGAIN
Edwin Carter stepped forward and supported Jane Ronan, worriedly asking. "Jane Ronan, what‘s wrong? Let‘s go to the hospital. "
"Don't worry, I'm fine Jane Ronan's stomach churned again as soon as she said those words. She covered her mouth and vomited for a long time. but nothing came out.
"Drink some water first." Edwin Carter took the mineral water and handed it to Jane Ronan.
Jane Ronan drank two mouthfuls of water and her stomach felt a little better, but the feeling of nausea did not disappear. But after a few seconds of rest, she felt like throwing up again.
"I'm fine." Facing Edwin Carter's worried eyes, she tried her best to endure it and gave him a relieved smile. She didn't want him to worry about her.
However, this feeling of nausea was unbearable. She started vomiting again, and the more she vomited, the uglier her face became and the cold sweat that broke out all over her body.
"Let's go to the hospital." Edwin Carter didn't care whether Jane Ronan agreed or not. He carried her by the waist, got in the car, and instructed the driver to go straight to the hospital.
Jane Ronan's condition was much better, but because she vomited too much just now, she didn't have any strength left. She laid on the soft ground in Edwin Carter's arms.
She rubbed Edwin Carter's chest like a child and said softly, "I just had a bit of nausea, but it's much better now. You don't have to go to the hospital. "
"If there's anything, it's okay. Let's go to the hospital to take a look." Edwin Carter kissed on her forehead, then held her face and made her look at him.
He added, "Jane Ronan, I know you're worried about Janell, but you won't be in a hurry to adopt a brother for her. This sort of thing still depends on fate, and the person cannot be casually chosen. "
He put his hand on her heart and said softly, "Put down all your worries and focus on your design."
"I know." Jane Ronan understood that, but
"I know." Jane Ronan understood that. but Janell was her daughter, a piece of meat that had fallen from her body. How could she not be worried about Janell?
"Don't think too much into it in the future. Just take care of your own work and leave the rest to me." Edwin Carter's voice sounded very gentle. but he was so strong that Jane Ronan couldn't resist.
"I will try not to think too much about it in the future." Jane Ronan snuggled into Edwin Carter's arms again and put her ear close to his heart, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat.
With him by her side. she was tightly hugged by him, as if their heartbeats were the same.
This feeling was really good!
The car quickly reached the Great Sky Hospital.
The hospital was owned by the Great Sky. On the way, Edwin Carter had people contact the hospital, and once the call came, the doctors and nurses had already appeared to wait for them.
When they received the news that Jane Ronan was suffering from vomiting, they took her to the gastroenterology department. but after the examination there was nothing wrong.
The doctor was just telling Edwin Carter that Jane Ronan was fine. Jane Ronan didn't know what strange smell she had smelled again, but it made her retch again.
Edwin Carter quickly patted Jane Ronan's back to help her vent her anger. At the same time, they looked at each other and had the same thought at the same time.
Jane Ronan was pregnant!
In the past, when Jane Ronan was pregnant with Janell, she had the symptoms of vomiting.
Today. Edwin Carter‘s first reaction to seeing Jane Ronan‘s discomfort was that Jane Ronan was too worried and too tired to vomit.
Now that the doctor had said there was nothing wrong with her stomach, that meant it was probably something else.
Other problems, Edwin Carter and Jane Ronan could only think of being pregnant.
After Edwin Carter promised Jane Ronan that he would make her brother and sister, they didn't do any more safety measures when they loved each other, so the chances of them getting pregnant was very high.
The two of them looked at each other with small eyes. They looked at each other, but neither of them said anything. They couldn't tell what kind of complicated feeling they were in their hearts.
Jane Ronan had always wanted a child with Edwin Carter. She wanted to watch the birth of the child, grow up with the child, and raise the child with Edwin Carter. She would never miss a moment in the child's life.
When she thought of the possibility that she might become pregnant, her heart was filled with emotion, emotion that could not be described with words.
She just looked at Edwin Carter silently, hoping that Edwin Carter could tell her that she was really pregnant again with their child.
However, Edwin Carter didn't answer her. Edwin Carter also looked at her fixedly with a complicated look in his eyes. She couldn't even tell what he was thinking.
Edwin Carter was also very happy, but unlike Jane Ronan. he was also very happy with some complicated feelings.
Of course he was happy that Jane Ronan was pregnant with their child, but he was also worried that Jane Ronan wouldn't suffer from having a child. and that he wouldn't be able to help her in any way.
"After her symptoms were better. Jane Ronan pulled Edwin Carter's hand and placed it on her lower abdomen. She asked carefully, "Edwin Carter. is it true?"
Jane Ronan was worried that this was just an illusion of her body. She was worried that they were overthinking things. She wanted to have their child in reality, so she didn't want to have any fun.
"Let's go to the obstetrics and gynecology department and check again." Edwin Carter gently caressed Jane Ronan's lower abdomen with his palm, then he lowered his head and kissed Jane Ronan's forehead. "it doesn't matter whether it‘s true or not."
Jane Ronan looked at him expectantly. "I hope that's true."
"Even if it isn't true, it will be true in the future." Before the results came out, no one knew if it was true or not. Edwin Carter was not sure, so he comforted Jane Ronan.
"I think it's true this time." Jane Ronan repeated herself. but Edwin Carter didn't continue to pick her up and instead hugged her tightly.
During the first trimester, the simplest, most convenient, and most accurate method of examination is urine examination.
Jane Ronan had done this kind of pregnancy test before. She remembered the procedure. but the details were not clear.
But no matter, as long as there was a doctor.
The doctor told them some details. Jane Ronan's face turned red from listening to Edwin Carter, so she didn't pay attention to what the doctor said.
However. Edwin Carter was listening attentively. Not only did he remember every detail of the doctor's instructions, he also wanted to accompany Jane Ronan to the washroom.
Jane Ronan shook her head. "It's just a small matter. I can go by myself. I don't need your help. I really don't need your help."
"I'll accompany you." Edwin Carter still said it in such a short sentence.
"But it's a female restroom, why are you accompanying me?" Jane Ronan panicked and found an excuse.
"Hal Barnes, close the ladies' room. No one is allowed in or out." Edwin Carter turned around and instructed his assistant.
For such a small matter. could it be difficult for the CEO of the Great Sky to do it?
