The news which claimed that Serene Silas' was actually directed by another person to commit the murder had gone viral in country A. Many onlookers who didn't know the truth began to organize investigation groups to search for the mastermind of the murder.
But unfortunately, no matter how hard they tried to unearth the truth, they still couldn't find any news about the girl except for the photo that had been exposed.
Some people even suspected that the girl did not really exist.
It was very likely that she was a smoke bomb that was deliberately used by a powerful and influential person, and the purpose was to get rid of the charges on Miss Silas.
After such theories were released, they soon gained the support of a lot of people.
Due to the analytical opinions by rational netizens, more and more people had come to support their view. Everyone had shifted their attention to the powerful and influential person that was behind all this in no time.
To say that these people were the Sherlock Holmes of the Internet was not inaccurate at all. Soon enough, some netizens had already caught on the clues which led to the Silas family.
What a joke, to move the attention to Janell Joy Carter was the most foolish thing the mastermind could do.
Janell Joy was the girl that Nathaniel Cooper cared about the most, she was his weakness. It was right to take advantage of her to deal with Nathaniel, but they ignored an important key point.
Nathaniel cared so much about the girl, and this was within his territory. How could he let his girl suffer from any slander?
She did not only have connections with the President but she was also the daughter of the leader of Shengtian, Edwin Carter.
Those who knew about him should know that this rich tycoon was a man who would spoil his wife and daughter to the skies.
No one could take advantage of his daughter without his approval.
Not only Chairman Carter of Shengtian would not allow that to happen, Janell Joy still had the brother that had been discreetly protecting her for 14 years.
He protected this sister for his parents, he also needed to protect this girl who had been deep in his heart the whole time.
With these countless layers of protection, who on earth would have the ability to plot against Janell Joy?
Of course, the smart Janell Joy understood this.
Therefore, no matter how chaotic it was, she did not take it to her heart at all. She still remained at the disaster area to teach classes and lived righteously.
Except for the injury on her feet which was not completely healed yet, making it still a little inconvenient for her to walk, there was almost nothing else that made her feel uncomfortable.
"Sister Jar, I would like to invite you to come to our house for dinner tonight." After the classes had ended in the afternoon, Janell Joy was packing up the textbooks, Peter got onto the platform and pulled her shirt while he looked at her expectantly.
It was more than often that the people who came to the disaster area to teach would gather in the dining hall to eat together.
Today, she heard that Peter‘s father went to the city, so he probably would come back with some delicious food. Since Peter liked Janell Joy, he wanted to ask her to join them.
Janell Joy knew that if she went, the food that Peter's father brought back would have to be shared with more people. Janell Joy didn't mind at all if she didn't get to eat them since Brother Lucas would always bring her dinner, especially after she had been injured. She really wanted to reject Peter's offer.
However, Janell Joy could not refuse Peter's offer when she saw the expectant look in his eyes, so she nodded and smiled. "Thank you Peter! You go back first, I will be there soon."
"Sister, Mom asked me to wait for you, she's afraid that you won't go." He said what his mother had told him.
"Okay, once I have packed up the textbooks and informed Sister Yaya and the others, then I'll go with you." Janell Joy pinched Peter's face, as if she was pinching her little brother, Little Precious.
Little Precious never liked it when she pinched his face. He always acted like a little adult and said women should not casually touch men. How old was he? Wasn't he just an eight year old kid?
A newly weaned child, how could he say he was a man?
Compared to her Little Precious, Peter was much more lovely. When she pinched his face, his face would always turn red as he smiled shyly.
Yes, an eight-year-old child should look like an eight-year-old child. Peter's reaction was correct but Little Precious' wasn't.
Although she would say that Little Precious was not cute, but whenever she thought of him, Janell Joy always felt like going home and hugging him.
Wuuuwuuu....
She really wanted to pinch the Little Precious' face, so that she could hear him yell out 'sister‘.
Peter's mother had specially invited Janell Joy to their house to have dinner, mainly because she wanted to thank Janell Joy for sparking Peter‘s interest in studies.
Before that, he was well known as the naughty boy in their class. He was good at sports and had a critical mind, but he just didn't like to study.
When he was in primary 1, he couldn't even distinguish between 6 and 9. There was one time, he scored 65 points for his drawing, but he proudly told his mother that he got 95 points.
After seeing this, Peter's mother did not know whether to laugh or cry. She knew that it was not because her son was not smart, her son was not stupid if compared to the others, it was just that he did not receive the proper education.
"Teacher Jar, please sit down." When Peter brought Janell Joy to his family tent, Peter's mother quickly took a small stool and wiped it with her sleeve and enthusiastically invited Janell Joy to take her seat.
"Auntie, you don't have to be so formal to me. We have known each other for so long. Let's just be casual." Janell Joy liked to smile. When she smiled, she had two little dimples, which were particularly eye-catching. Other than that, she had a good character, so she had a very good relationship with the people in the disaster area.
In fact, her real personality was not so approachable, but she was a flexible person. She knew what kind of personality to put out to interact with people under different types of circumstances.
She wanted to be nice to the people in the disaster area because everyone was simple and sincere.
"Okay, then make yourself at home too." Peter's father sat on the side and gave Janell Joy 3 bottle of yogurt drink.
Although the government had tried their best to maintain the water and electricity supply as much as possible, the disaster area still found it hard to cope with this issue, so it was still inevitabIe that there would be occasional supply shortages. Sometimes, even drinking water would be scarce. For them, yogurt drinks were a luxury.
Janell Joy took the drink with her both hands, opened it and handed it to Peter. "Peter, I like drinking mineral water. Can you drink this instead?"
"Okay." Looking at this bottle of yogurt drink, Peter's eyes were glowing. Since Sister Jar said she didn't like it, then he would drink it on her behalf.
A child's world was just so simple and innocent. They just believed whatever the adults said and would not think deeper into it.
Peter‘s father said, “Miss Little Jar, thank you for making Peter interested in studying. If he can get into university in the future, you deserve the greatest credit.”
She stroked Peter's head and said, "Uncle. lt‘s not that my teaching method is good, but Peter is really smart. As long as he studies hard. he will definitely get into a good university in the future.“
By the time Peter gets into university, she would have already become Brother Lucas's wife.
She could be Brother Lucas's side to run his country and help his people flourish!
872
Oh my God!
At the thought of Brother Lucas, Janell Joy Carter wished that Brother Lucas could appear in front of her immediately so that she could see him.
Brother Lucas would come to the disaster area every night and he would return in the morning. Although she had just parted with Brother Lucas this morning, but whenever she thought of him, she felt like she had not seen him for a long time.
This was the most honest feeling for people who were in love. Even if they were stuck together every day, they would still feel like it wasn't enough.
As a matter of fact, for her to teach at the disaster area, the person who suffered the most was not her, but her Brother Lucas. He had to come at night and go back in the morning, it would take him 4 hours everyday to come back and forth.
"Yeah, I also think that Peter has a nimble mind!“ In the past, Peter's father would often scold Peter for being stupid because he didn't like to study.
After Janell Joy came here, they had a parent‘s meeting.
She made the parents realized what their children's potential were and so that the parents could give their children more encouragement. That way, their children would certainly perform beyond their expectation.
The parents took Janell Joy's advice. They began to find out what their children were good at and they encouraged them more. Sure enough, the children made great progress.
They had improved in their studies and they were more proactive in life. Many children also took the initiative to help their parents to help with the house chores.
Peter was the most typical one among them, which indirectly proved that Janell Joy's visit as a temporary teacher this time was a success.
Janell Joy was very excited that her teaching method had good results and was approved by the children and their parents.
After leaving Peter‘s house, Janell Joy went to have a look at the residential area which was under construction.
The houses here were almost complete, and they were about to become everyone‘s new homes. It signified the start of the new life for the people in the disaster area.
After such a major disaster, Janell Joy had done several rescue and disaster relief works and had also participated in the reconstruction of the disaster area.
She had witnessed the earthquake with her own eyes. The disaster area was in a mess and corpses were everywhere, but the people in the disaster area were not beaten down.
With the help of the government, everyone in the disaster relief group and the members of the construction team were very active and rarely complained.
Now that the situation at the disaster area was getting better and better it was no doubt that her Brother Lucas was very good at running the country.
When Brother Lucas just took office, he had already encountered such a big event. He was calm and issued orders in an orderly way. He organized the army and the citizens to undergo rescue missions at the disaster area. He also organized the reconstruction of the disaster area. A series of measures were very well taken.
Janell Joy sighed again. She had such a good taste. When she was a child, she had already fallen in love with such a treasure that was Brother Lucas.
If she hadn't let her father save the injured boy, she would not have Brother Lucas who loved her so much.
Thinking of Brother Lucas, Janell Joy couldn't wait as she raised her hand to look at the time. It was only eight o'clock in the evening, Brother Lucas wouldn't arrive so soon.
Sigh!
As she shook her head in disappointment, she felt a pair of thick palms had gently covered her eyes. Janell Joy instinctively wanted to attack, but the familiar aura surrounded her and she immediately knew who it was.
She already knew who was covering her eyes, and the man deliberately lowered his voice and asked, "Guess who?"
Janell Joy burst out laughing. Her Brother Lucas was sometimes really silly and cute, and most of the time treated her like an ignorant child.
Pretty much all the time, she wanted to tell him that she was no longer the little girl who didn't know anything. Now, she knew and understood everything.
Janell Joy removed his hands away, turned around and threw herself into his arms. She snuggled in his arms and said, "There will be no one else except my Brother Lucas."
"Oh, you're that sure?" Nathaniel Cooper rubbed her head with a smile on his face.
"Of course, it's because my Brother Lucas smells so good, other men are stinky. That's how I know." Janell Joy never stopped praising her Brother Lucas. Wouldn't she be worried that her Brother Lucas would get too arrogant if she praised him too much?
"What about your father?" It was his instinct, Nathaniel wanted to surpass him.
Janell Joy pouted and said, "You petty bastard! Why do you want to compare with my father? Let me tell you, my dad is the man who loves me the most in the world, and you don't even come close."
"It seems like I have to continue to work hard." He wanted to work harder to love and care for her and let her know that there was another man who loved her more than anyone else in the world, other than her father.
"Brother Lucas, let's work hard together from now on." Janell Joy placed her hand on Nathaniel's. "Brother Lucas, it's only eight o'clock now. Why are you here already?"
Usually, he would arrive here at around ten o'clock at night at the earliest, but today he arrived two hours earlier. Was it because he missed her again?
"Because I didn't have anything else to do, so I got off work earlier to accompany you." Because he had to go abroad for an official visit tomorrow, he would be away for a week, so he made time to accompany her now.
He would be abroad for a week. Thinking that he could not see her for a week, he felt very down.
He really wanted to take her with him, but the relationship between them was still unclear. What reason did he have for her to go with him?
So he had to deal with his matters as soon as possible so that she could be with him openly, so that she could accompany him wherever he went.
"By the way, Brother Lucas, can I ask for a favour?"
"Okay, go ahead."
"Why do you never ask what I‘m going to ask for and just agree on it? What if my request is too much?"
"Would you?"
"Of course not."
"That's exactly it." Nathaniel took her hand and said as he walked, "Tell me, I'm listening."
"Brother Lucas, I have been here for a while. I am aware that their living conditions are really bad. Can you offer the people some preferential policies in the future to make up for the time they spent in the disaster area?" Speaking of which, Janell Joy was helping the people in the disaster area to seek benefits. But actually, she just wanted the people in the disaster area to admire their President more.
Nathaniel nodded. "Well, that's a good idea. But..."
"Brother Lucas, can't you do that?" Janell Joy interrupted Nathaniel eagerly before he could finish his words.
"The relevant departments are already working on it, so you don't have to worry about it." Nathaniel smiled gently.
“Oh, so you guys have already thought of it already, Brother Lucas." She thought that she was very far-sighted. It turned out that Brother Lucas had already thought of it before she did.
“Alright, let‘s not talk about these things. Take a walk with me."
“Brother Lucas, what's the matter?"
"Nothing.“ He just wanted to hold her hand like this. The two of them just walked around and talked casually, relieving him from all his fatigue.
"Brother Lucas, do you know?"
"I know." He replied.
“What do you know?" She asked.
"Because what you want to say is exactly what I want to say to you." Nathaniel stood still and held Janell Joy's shoulder. “I want to hold your hand like this, for the rest of our lives.”
873
The night was gradually getting darker!
Janell Joy Carter lay on the small bed. Without Brother Lucas's warm embrace, she felt that there was something missing. She couldn't fall asleep.
This was only the first night since Brother Lucas was abroad. It was as if she hadn't seen him for thousands of years. She was going crazy already, how could she survive for the next six days?
Thinking of the fact that she wouldn't be able to see Brother Lucas in the next six or seven days, Janell Joy wished she could grow a pair of wings and fly to Brother Lucas's side.
But she couldn't be so capricious. She promised to teach the children for a month, moreover, Brother Lucas's visit was an official affair, she couldn't just stick around him.
Sigh!
Janell Joy let out a long sigh. She wouldn't be so bored if Little Precious was by her side at this time to play with her.
Thinking of Little Precious, Janell Joy remembered that she hadn't contacted her family for a long time. Her grandparents must have missed her a lot.
As she thought of the elders at home, Janell Joy hurriedly grabbed her phone and dialed home. The phone rang several times before someone answered, "Hello! Who is this?"
“Little Aunt?" This voice sounded like her Little Aunt's, but wasn't her Little Aunt in Jiangbei?
At the end of the year, the whole family would go back to Jiangbei to celebrate the New Year's. Her Little Aunt shouldn't be in New York at this time.
"I thought it was someone else, turns out it's our Baby Janell. You have no conscience at all. How could you call us only now? I thought you don't even know the home number anymore."
Upon hearing that it was Janell Joy, Angela Carter had a lot to say, "Your Grandma misses you so much she can‘t even get out of bed. You have no conscience at all. Are you not going to come back and visit her?"
"What?" Once she knew that her grandmother was ill, Janell Joy immediately sat up from bed. “Little Aunt, what's wrong with Grandma?"
"Janell, don't listen to your Little Aunt's nonsense. She'll feel uncomfortable if she doesn't cause chaos in the world." Mama Carter's sweet voice traveled through the phone.
"Grandma, are you really all right?" Janell Joy knew that her grandmother’s health had always been poor, so it was common for her to be sick.
During the changing of the season last year, her grandmother forgot to wear a thicker clothing and caught a cold. She managed to recover only after being in bed for two weeks.
Her grandmother had always doted on her so much. Supposedly, she should have stayed in New York to spend more time with her grandmother, but she abandoned them and came to Country A.
When she thought of this, Janell Joy was so sad that she was about to cry.
"I'm fine, Baby Janell. You have to take care of yourself over there and as long as you're fine, I will be happy." Mama Carter said.
Janell Joy nodded vigorously and said, "Grandma, I am living well here. I‘m eating well and sleeping well. I have already gained a few pounds."
Mama Carter said, ”It‘s good to gain weight. That thin body of yours has to be chubbier. You will look cuter when you are chubby."
Janell Joy said like a spoiled child, “Grandma..."
"Hey, Janell..." upon hearing her granddaughter's soft voice, Mama Carter felt emotional and burst into tears again.
"Mom, don't be anxious. The little girl is talking to you, isn‘t she?" Andrea hurriedly stroked Mama Carter's back.
"I don't want to either, but it is something I can't change for so many years," she was obviously happy to hear her granddaughter's voice, but she couldn‘t help feeling sad.
Janell Joy, who was on the phone, could only feel anxious. “Grandma, don't agitate yourself too much. I'll go back to accompany you soon."
Mama Carter wiped her tears and said, "Janell, I know. Why not we end the call? I'll call you another day."
Worrying that she would affect her granddaughter's mood, Mama Carter hung up the phone, but her tears continued to flow down her cheeks.
"Grandma, Sister is not at home, but I'm still here with you." A child's voice spoke. Jane Ronan had returned home with Little Precious. As soon as she entered the house, she saw Mama Carter crying heavily.
At a glance, Little Precious knew that his grandmother must have missed his sister. Without waiting for his mother's instructions, Little Precious hurried over to comfort his grandmother.
"Yes, and our Little Precious is still with me. I'm very happy about that." Mama Carter smiled through tears and stroked his head.
Jane Ronan walked over and said, "Mom, Janell is doing well there. Don't worry about her too much. Your health is more important. Since Angela is in New York, I'm going to cook for our distinguished guest"
"Sister-in-law, you're getting more and more virtuous." Angela stood up and gave Jane a big hug. She didn't forget to flatter her with compliments too. "Sister-in-law, your fashion design company has such a good reputation and you take great care of your family too. How did you achieve that?"
Angela was thinking that she was also married for ten years, and even had a child. But she was still like a child who often fought with her ten year old son for attention.
This time, it was because she fought with her son for the attention that Victor James did not side with her. In a fit of anger, she flew from Jiangbei to her parents' home.
No matter how many years had passed, Angela was still so carefree and unrestrained. She would do whatever she wants and Victor could only endure.
What made Angela angrier was that she had been home for over 24 hours now, and that old man, Victor, had not even called to ask about her.
Angela had decided to be mad at him for the rest of his life. Let him raise their young son and grow old alone.
"Don't shower me with compliments anymore. Come over and help me prepare lunch. Dad will be back from fishing soon." Jane smiled gently and raised her hand to look at the time. “Mm, your brother should be done with work, he should come home soon."
In fact, it was not that Jane had took very good care of the family, but that they were good to her and made her feel the warmth a family should have.
Especially her Mr. Carter, who had doted on her for more than ten years and thought of everything for her, so that she would have more time to realize her dream.
Speaking of the devil, Mr. Carter was now home.
He was still wearing the same white shirt and black trousers that he wore all year round. What was different was that he had added a coat because it was cold outside.
The coat was designed and made by Jane Ronan herself. It was customized for him. At first glance, it was no different from any other ordinary coat, but the tiny details were what made it exclusive.
For example, the threads that were used to make the coat were carefully selected by Jane.
The lower hem of the coat was embroidered with the same color as the coat. It looked simple and poised, which was particularly suitable for Mr. Carter.
After Edwin Carter had entered the room, he greeted Mama Carter first and then walked towards Jane Ronan.
"Sister-in-Iaw, I'd better help you later on." Angela had seen how loving these two were. To not torture herself, she thought it would be better to avoid them.
He walked towards her and although he was still a distance away, Edwin's eyes fell straight on Jane , he could see nothing else except her.
874
More than a decade had passed, their child had already grown up, but Edwin Carter still looked at Jane Ronan the same way he used to.
No, it wasn‘t only the same as he used to, it was with more affection than before, as if he only had her in his eyes.
He walked gracefully to Jane's side.
Jane pursed her lips into a gentle smile and said "You're back!"
Edwin nodded. "Yes."
After more than ten years, Edwin was still a man of few words, but he did change a little. He not only responded, but also walked to Jane's side and pulled her into his arms to embrace her.
"You must be hungry." Jane said with a smile.
”Mm.“ He nodded without saying anything.
"Then go get changed. After that, we can start eating." Jane escaped from his arms and said.
Edwin said seriously, "Help me with that."
"You need me to help you change your clothes? I don't even need to help my eight-year-old son to change his clothes. Mr Carter, aren't you ashamed?" Sometimes, Jane really had no way to deal with this man.
Because he already said it, so if she didn't help him, he would pester her so hard that she wouldn't be able to do anything else. This man was getting more and more childish.
Sure enough, Edwin said, "I asked my wife to help me. Why should I be ashamed?”
"Okay fine, I'll help you." Jane immediately raised her hand and surrendered. Then, he led her upstairs.
His palms were very big and Jane's were small. His big palms could easily hold hers, and he held it tightly.
Over the years, as long as they walked together, he liked to hold her hand. Just like what he had said before, he will hold her hand and keep walking, until they grow old.
Jane took out Edwin's loungewear from the wardrobe. She then turned around and saw Edwin staring at her with deep affection, as if he was looking into her mind.
Jane smiled and said, "Why are you looking at me like this?"
Edwin stretched his hand towards her face and drew an outline of her face with his finger. “Nothing, I just want to look at you like this."
He could just stay here and look at her without doing anything else. He could look at her until the earth ends and it would still not be enough for him.
"You've already looked at it for more than a decade and I'm already getting old. Haven't you gotten tired of me yet?" His words warmed Jane's heart. She smiled even more brightly.
"It's only been more than ten years. In the next few decades, I will still look at you like this." He wanted to look at her and accompany her, and grow old together.
"Mr Carter, you've become more eloquent recently. You've been sweet talking to me this whole time, did you do something behind my back?" Of course, she believed that he would never do anything that would hurt her. She just wanted to tease him.
Sure enough, as soon as Jane said this, Edwin's face darkened. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
He couldn't take a joke at all.
Especially when it came to the issue of loyalty, if she ever mentioned it, he would definitely get anxious.
Jane smiled proudly and said, "I was just teasing you and yet you had a huge reaction. Do you really have a woman outside?"
"Jane Ronan!" Edwin was really angry.
"Mm?" Jane looked at him with a smile and said "Mr Carter, is there anything that you want to order your lady to do?"
"I've told you before, other than you, nobody else is worthy." Edwin stroked her face and said slowly.
Although Jane was not the most outstanding woman in the world, but in his heart, she was one of a kind and no one could replace her.
"Mm, I know." Jane was very satisfied with his reply and let Edwin express his love for her indirectly.
She knew? Shouldn't she also confess her love to him?
Edwin looked at Jane with dissatisfaction. His face was gloomy, like a big boy who was upset.
Jane said in a gentle voice, "Me too."
Upon hearing Jane's words, Edwin's face brightened a little.
Sigh, this man was really childish. He was much more childish than their Little Precious. To her, it was like raising two sons at the same time.
Edwin held her in his arms again.
Jane snuggled up in his arms and suddenly thought of something. "By the way, Edwin, let's find a time to visit Baby Janell and Andrew. I'm still worried about the both of them."
Edwin nodded and agreed, "Alright, let's go there as a family to accompany them once you are done with your fashion show"
When he mentioned about the fashion show, Jane suddenly thought of something that she hadn't completed.
"Edwin, come and take a look for me." Jane dragged Edwin to her studio, turned on the computer, and showed him the design draft of her newest collection, “This is the theme for my main collection for this season. What do you think?"
Although Edwin did not know much about fashion, but, his taste was not bad. Jane often asked him for some advice, and Edwin was also very happy to do so.
He studied through the design draft carefully and looked at some of the samples of the ready-made clothes. As he looked at them, he nodded and said, "It feels like your style. lt's simple, poised and elegant. I think the market will also have a good response."
“I'm really flattered to have Chairman Carter of Shengtian to praise me." Jane smiled sweetly.
In fact, she felt happier to be recognized by Edwin, than getting recognized by the people in the fashion industry.
She added, "Alright, go get changed quickly. I‘ll go downstairs to help out for lunch."
Edwin said, "I also have something for you to see."
Jane asked, "What?"
"Come." Edwin took Jane's hand and went back into to the room. He took out an exquisite box from the desk drawer.
He opened the box and there was a necklace mounted with sapphire gemstones resting in the gift box. He asked, "Look, do you like it?”
"Is this for me, again?" In the past few years, he had given her countless of expensive gifts. She had so many necklaces that she almost could not fit any more jewellery into her cabinet.
"Yes. Do you like it?" Edwin looked at Jane expectantly.
If she paid attention, she could see that he looked way more anxious compared to the previous times when he had given her a gift.
This was because he didn't tell her that the gemstone necklace was designed and made by him for her.
"I like it. If it's from you, I will like it." Jane was very fond of it, but she felt that she couldn't use it. "But don't waste your money on these things. I have way too many pieces of jewellery, I can't wear them all."
"What do you mean wasting money? Isn't it natural for me to spend money on my wife?" Edwin personally picked up the necklace and put it on for Jane.
He approached her, and she could feel his warm breath on her earlobe. She couldn't help but blush. "I'll do it myself."
However, Edwin ignored her. He insisted on putting it on for her and took two steps back to look at her.
Her skin was fair and she had no wrinkles at all. She looked stunning in the sapphire necklace. Edwin could not help but lower his head and kiss her. "Answer me, do you like it?"
875
”I like it!"
Whether he was referring to the gift he gave her, or his kiss, she liked them all.
However, Jane Ronan deliberately chose the former, “Didn't I just tell you that as long as it is a gift from you, I will like it."
Edwin Carter's face darkened slightly and said with dissatisfaction, "You already know that I'm not asking about that."
Jane blinked, and acted like she didn't understand. "If that's not what you're asking, then what is it?"
Edwin, "..." He was referring to something else!
Jane smiled and snuggled into his arms. She held his strong waist and snuggled. "Edwin, do you know how happy I am?"
He definitely didn't know how happy she was, and the man who gave her all these happiness was the one who had been by her side throughout the years.
Edwin rubbed her head and said softly, "Silly, why are you saying this all of a sudden?"
"For so many years, you have always supported me, this allowed me to spend more time and energy on my fashion career. All the achievements that l have today, half of it was because of your full support that you have given to me.“
With Edwin's backing, and the whole family by her side, Jane could devote herself into her work to fulfil her childhood dream.
"I am your husband.“ Edwin's answer couldn't be any simpler, but it was the warmest answer one could hear.
Jane raised her head slightly to look at him. "Edwin, do you know? I feel happier than I would be if I have the whole world. Thank you for being by my side. Thank you for giving me Baby Janell and Little Precious."
Edwin gifted a lot of things to Jane, including houses, cars, jewellery and so on. However, what Jane loved the most were their treasures- Janell Joy Carter and Julien Glover Carter.
With Edwin and their children, only then was their family the happiest and the most complete.
"I am your husband." Edwin's answer still could not be any simpler.
The word “husband" was definitely not just an identity to Edwin. When she promised to marry him, he became her lifelong and most solid support.
"Of course I know you're my husband.“ Jane smiled and snuggled into his arms again. "It's precisely because you're my husband that I feel so happy"
If she didn‘t meet Edwin, her life would turn out differently, and she couldn't bear to even think about it.
She was glad that she had met him and accepted his marriage proposal. She was even more grateful that he was her husband and someone that she could rely on for the rest of her life.
At the same time, a taxi slowed down and stopped in front of the Carter family's mansion.
The passenger paid the fare, opened the door, and got off the car.
The door opened and the passenger got off, it was a ten-year-old boy.
He looked up and said to the security guard at the guardhouse with a serious face, "Please ask Angela Carter to come out."
As soon as the security guard saw the Little Master, he recognized him and hurriedly greeted him. "Little Master James, are you alone?"
"Is it strange for me to be alone?" The little boy glanced at the security guard and said, "If you don't want to ask her to come out, that's fine too. Then pass on a message to her for me. Her husband kicked her son out of the house, so please ask her if she still wants her son. If she doesn't want her son, her son will run away from home."
"Little Master James, wait a minute. We'll inform Miss Angela immediately." This little one was the Little Master of the James family. No security personnel would dare to neglect him, so they quickly called Angela and informed her.
Angela was chatting with Mama Carter when she received the news. She almost couldn't believe it when she heard that her son was alone outside of the house.
Although Angela couldn't believe it, but, she still came out. There was still a distance until she reached the gate, but she could see her son standing in the cold wind with his hands clasped behind his back.
The wind was a little strong today, so the little one only wore a thin coat while standing in the cold wind.
Although Angela always quarreled with her son and stole his food and toys...
But no matter how capricious she was, she was still the child‘s biological mother. Seeing such a little child standing in the cold wind, Angela's heart ached.
She quickly ran over to the little one and held him in her arms. "Brat, why are you here alone? Where is your stinky father?"
"If I'm not alone, who else would be with me?" The little boy looked arrogant, but as soon as he was held in Angela's arms, he immediately snuggled in her arms like a baby, and said as if he was wronged, "That old man, Victor, kicked me out of the house. He asked someone to buy a ticket and sent me here."
"Why did he kick you out? I gave birth to you, not him. How could he kick you out of the house?" Hearing that it was Victor who kicked the child out, Angela was so furious that she wanted to fly back immediately and blow up Victor's camp.
"Ahem..." the little one coughed and said, "Mom, you could only give birth to me because of Victor's small contribution. But I know that you are the one who suffered the most.“
"Even if he contributed, he still can‘t kick you out of the house like that. Only I can bully you, he can't." Angela was the typical 'only I can do it and no one else is allowed to' kind of person.
At home, she could bully the little one, but Victor couldn't.
The reason why Angela ran away from home this time was that she and the little one had fought for attention, but Victor didn't take her side.
She was so angry because the father and son had joined hands to bully her. In a fit of anger, she flew back to New York.
At this moment, knowing that her son was being bullied by Victor, Angela couldn't wait any longer to go back to Jiangbei to confront him.
She turned to the security guard and said, "Please tell my parents, brother and sister-in-law that I'll go back to Jiangbei first. I'll come back to see them another day."
Angela was always so impatient, in a fit of anger, she wanted to rush back as soon as possible to Jiangbei to see Victor.
After a nearly 20-hour journey, they finally returned to Jiangbei. When they got home, they found Victor sleeping soundly on the bed.
The mother and son had been extremely exhausted from all the travelling. Not only did he not call to ask about them, but he was sound asleep.
At the sight of this, Angela was so enraged that she pulled off the quilt that was covering Victor's body and kicked him. "Victor, you old b‘stard, how can you sleep so soundly? How can you drive my son and I out of the house?"
"Just use the word b'stard. Why do you have to add the word 'old' in it?" Victor sat up and looked at Angela with his sleepy eyes. "Who drove you and your son away?"
