CHAPTER 648 

Jane said with a smile. "Our baby is already four years old, and your son isn't even born yet. How can he prebook my baby?" 

Laura squeezed herself next to Jane, "Woman, I'm serious. I'm not joking with you. I have been thinking, since I can't have a lovely and beautiful daughter like Janell, it would be nice to have her as my daughter-in-law instead." 

Jane rolled her eyes. "Who says she's not your daughter? I've long agreed that she's your god-daughter." 

"That's not the same." Laura was getting impatient again. "Woman, you just need to say it. Do you want Janell to be engaged to my son?" 

"No!" Jane knew that Laura was serious, but she was serious too. 

"Laura, our children should decide their own lives. How can we as parents have the right to choose a partner for them? What we like might not be what they like in the future."

Jane put Janell on her lap while she plaited her hair, "My baby's life can only be decided on her own. No one can make the decisions for her. When she's all grown up, she can choose the boy she likes, I will not stop her as long as she likes him." 

Laura asked, "What if Janell fancied a man who didn't have a proper job and you didn't like him at all?" 

"Well, I think my Janell is a decent girl, so the boys she will like won't be too bad either." Jane was very confident with Janell. 

"But I like Janell very much." Laura really liked Janell. Since she was carrying a baby boy, she thought she could grab the opportunity to have Janell for herself. 

"When I grew up. I will go and look for Brother Lucas." 

The two adults had had a long chat and Janell had been listening. She was too young to understand what was going on, but she remembered the vow she had with Lucas. When she grew up, she would definitely go and look for Lucas. 

"Yes, when you grow up, you will go and find Brother Lucas." Jane looked at Laura and smiled. "You see, she already has her own mind at such a young age. So who do you think can control her when she's all grown up?" 

"Then I will look forward to the baby in your womb being a baby boy instead.

Then, I'll have another daughter in the future! We will definitely become in-laws one day." Laura had always been obsessed with anyone with good-looks. 

Whenever she saw children that were good-looking, she had always wanted them to be part of her family so that all the good genes would run in their family. 

"Miss Ferdinand, have you been too idle lately? What kind of things have you been thinking all day?" Jane poked her head.

"Since you like my daughter so much, I shall leave her to you today. You guys can enjoy yourself. I'll have a rest day at home." She didn't sleep well last night, so she really didn't have the energy to go shopping. 

If she tried forcing herself, it would be troublesome if it affected the baby in her belly too. So she decided to just stay at home instead. 

Laura quickly held Janell in her arms. "Of course it's not a problem to babysit Janell. But are you not feeling well?" 

Jane shook her head and denied, "No, I'm fine. It's the jet lag. I haven't gotten over it, and I keep feeling sleepy." 

"You're pregnant that's why. Then you should just rest at home today. I'll bring the two kids to my place and look after them. We shall not let them bother you." 

Laura wished that she could help solve all of Jane's problems. 

"Laura, thank you very much!" 

There were two most fortunate things that happened to Jane: first, was to have met Faye Reed, and second, was to have met Edwin Carter. 

Although Edwin and Jane's relationship ended with a divorce, she did not regret meeting him, marrying him, and having two children with him. 

Robert Michael went out to meet up with an old classmate after breakfast. Laura then took over babysitting Janell and Andrew, and Jane went home to rest. 

It was snowing outside today, so it was not suitable to bring the kids out. Laura cancelled the plans to go out, and let Janell and Andrew play at her place. 

Andrew was a really good and understanding child. While he was looking after his sister, making sure that she didn't get hurt, he was also doing some homework at the same time. 

His uncle had told him that the schools in the United States were different from that in Jiangbei, so he had to work harder so as not to disappoint his parents. 

Janell wasn't bothered about learning. She was still too young to take learning seriously. The fact that she was well-versed in a few languages had also saved hers a lot of trouble. 

"Janell, come here." John Alex waved at Janell as he walked out of the study. 

"Uncle John, why are you looking for my sister?"

Andrew pulled Janell and stopped her from entering the study alone. He was on guard. 

"I was chatting with Uncle Hal. And he wants to talk to Janell." John answered truthfully even when he was being questioned by a child. 

"Andrew, don't worry. I will be with Janell." Laura patted Andrew's head approvingly. 

Andrew did the right thing. Even if it was his uncle, he could not just let him take his sister into the room alone. With Laura's company, Andrew was more at ease to let his sister go.

John was looking for Janell because Assistant Hal Barnes knew that Janell was at their place. And he had requested to have a video chat with Janell.

Of course Janell wasn't going to have a video chat with Assistant Hal. Without a doubt, it was the big boss who was looking for his daughter. 

John put Janell on the office chair. He turned on the video and said, "Baby, you stay here. Auntie and I will wait for you outside." 

"Daddy!" As she saw her daddy appear on the computer screen, Janell's eyes were filled with joy. All she could see was only her daddy.

"Baby, did you miss daddy?" Edwin was also looking at Janell. He wanted to pinch her chubby cheeks. However, even when she was right in front of him, she was unreachable! So close yet so far. 

"I miss daddy very very much." When she saw her father on the screen, Janell was too excited she almost kissed her father on the computer screen. 

"I miss you too baby, very very much." It was still the gentle voice of her father that she was familiar with, coming from the speaker. 

"Daddy…" Janell called her father again. She pursed her lips and pulled a sad face. "Baby, are you trying to cry?" 

Edwin's heart ached when he saw Janell about to cry, but he put on a smile anyway.

"I miss daddy." She wanted her father's hug, but he couldn't do so, that's why she wanted to cry. 

Edwin said softly, "As long as you are a good girl, and as long as you don't cry, when i'm done with work, I will go to the States to be with you and mommy, ok?" 

"Is it true, daddy?" Janell blinked her big gorgeous eyes and couldn't quite believe her father's words.

---

CHAPTER 649 

"When has daddy ever lied to you?" Edwin Carter reached out his hand instinctively, he wanted to give his daughter a hug as usual. But when he stretched out his hand, he realized that his daughter was half a world away. Even if he decided to fly there, it would take him at least one day to reach her. 

Janell asked in a soft voice, "Daddy, I miss you so much. Why don't you come and be with me now?" Janell could not understand at all. Her father was always by her side, so why did he not join her mommy and her this time? 

Edwin replied gently, "Because daddy is busy with work." 

"Daddy…"  Janell was about to cry again. Her big fat tears welled in her eyes, they looked just like the most precious pearls on earth. 

"Tell me, is it snowing in New York now?" Edwin immediately changed the subject because he didn't want to see his daughter crying. 

"It's snowing. It's snowing really heavily. I'm at Auntie Laura's house now. Mommy and lazy Mia are at home sleeping." 

As expected, Janell stopped crying. She was busy introducing New York to her father. 

Edwin added, "Oh, so it's snowing in New York. Then are you cold?" 

The always busy Chaitman Carter, whom people took months to make an appointment to see, was, at this moment, having all these small unimportant talks with his daughter. 

"I've put on a really thick down jacket." Janell straightened her jacket and pointed at her beanie. "Thankfully I have this beanie on. It's not cold at all." 

Edwin responded, "Oh, I was still wondering why my baby looks so cute today. Now I know, because you have put on new clothes and a new beanie." 

"Daddy, I can play with the snow dolls in New York. But without you, it's not fun." 

In Janell's heart, daddy was still the most important. 

Edwin added, "Well...Should I buy some more snow dolls for you?" 

Janell replied softly, "I want my daddy. I only want you. I don't want any snow dolls." 

Edwin said, "Baby, I want to give you a task now. Once you finish it, I'll be there with you." 

"Daddy, what task?" Janell asked excitedly. 

Edwin said, "First of all, you can't tell mommy about the video chat you're having with me. This is our little secret." 

"Ok, I understand, I will definitely not tell mommy." Janell quickly covered her mouth and turned around to check.

Seeing Janell's mysterious and adorable look, Edwin's heart melted instantly. He really wanted to hold the little fella in his arms and give her a kiss. Which meant, he had to deal with those things as soon as possible. 

He had to sort out those people who had offended him, and strive to fly to New York and hold her as soon as possible. 

Edwin smiled and asked, "Baby, I asked you to take care of mommy and not let mommy be sad. Did you do that?" 

"This morning, I said that I missed daddy and mommy wasn' t very happy!" Janell remembered clearly that when she mentioned her daddy, mommy was upset immediately. as if she was going to cry. 

"When you have mentioned about me, mommy got upset?" Edwin asked with a glimmer of hope even when he knew the answer. 

"Yes." Janell didn't know anything about the situation, hence she answered honestly. 

"Ok, I understand." Edwin covered up his real emotion very well. He smiled and said, "It's fine this time. From now on, you should continue to help daddy take care of mommy." 

"You're not mad at me, daddy?" 

"You have done a good job. You should be rewarded. How can I be angry?" 

"I love you daddy." With her father's praise, Janell smiled sweetly. 

Edwin continued, "From now on, you'll be daddy's eyes and ears. You'll come to Auntie Laura's house and report to daddy about what happens between you and mommy every day." 

Janell replied sweetly, "Ok, I understand." 

Edwin emphasized again, "Make sure to not let mommy know. This is our secret, ok?" 

"Ok, I understand. I will definitely complete the task," Janell said in a soft voice and looked all mischievous. 

Edwin laughed, "Ok then. Baby Janell, I'll see you tomorrow!" 

"Tomorrow. daddy, I don't want to!" Janell wanted to reply with the same greetings, but when she thought of the ending of the video call, she got really sad and wanted to cry again. 

"Good girl, baby!" 

"I'm not a good girl!" She did not want to be a good girl, she wanted her daddy 

"Did you forget what you promised me already?" 

"I remember!" But what she had promised her father was not important. The more important thing was that she wanted her father to be by her side. 

"Baby, do you want mommy to be sad?" 

"Of course not!" 

"If you don't want mommy to be sad, then you have to listen to daddy. I will chat with you again tomorrow."

With that, Edwin hung up the video call ruthlessly. If he looked at the little fella any longer with her almost crying face, he could really just fly to the States immediately. 

But with the current situation, what could he do when he got to the States? Jane was determined to divorce him. He could never let her know that he had lied to her. 

After Edwin hung up the call, Hal. Barnes, who had been waiting for a long time at his desk, immediately moved on with the topic they were discussing earlier.

 

"Chairman Carter, the Eternitee project is one of the projects that the Yates group has put in a lot of manpower, financial, and material resources to prepare for this year. Their investment has already reached 20 billion dollars so far." 

"20 billion?" Edwin tapped his long slender fingers on the desk as usual. "The contract hasn't been signed yet, but the Yates Group has already invested so much?" 

Hal immediately handed over the documents he had prepared and said, "Yates Group and Eternitee have been working with each other for a while now. This is not the first time they have done this. Somehow, it's still quite unbelievable for them to spend so much money without the contract." 

Without hesitation, Edwin had made a decision. "Luis, go and find out the relationship between the Yates and Eternitee. Whatever you found, be it true or not, have it exposed immediately."

"Yes." Luis George took his order. It seemed that Chaitman Carter wanted to use the Eternitee project to attack the Yates Group this time. 

As long as there is any problem with the Eternitee project, the Yates Group's 20 billion dollars would be gone just like that.

Let's see how many 20 billions the Yates Group could afford. 

Luis took the order and proceeded to work on the investigation. Hal was still standing in front of Edwin's desk. 

"Chairman Carter should I continue to keep an eye on what's going on in the States?" 

Edwin raised his head and looked at him coldly. "What do you think?

"I've asked John Alex to pass on all the projects and tasks on hand to someone else. He will be in charge of your video calls with the little miss from now on." 

Hal observed Edwin's expression closely as he spoke. Since Edwin didn't react much all throughout his proposal, it meant that he had made the right arrangements..

---

CHAPTER 650

It was such a waste just thinking about it. Chairman Carter was probably the only person who could afford to waste a talent like this. 

John Alex was a Ph.D. graduate from a prestigious university. With his skills and capabilities, he had somehow ended up in charge of the video calls between the father and daughter

However, John Alex accepted the task. After all, his wife was about to give birth. It was not like he was getting paid less for staying at home with his wife anyway. 

It was definitely something most people would wish for. Hal Barnes took himself as an example. He had wanted a more relaxed job and not be as busy everyday. He had also wished to not have to be always on his toes beside his chairman. 

If he could get all these while getting paid the same, then he would totally be more than satisfied. 

"Is there anything else?" Edwin's cold voice came. Hal, who was still fantasizing about the future, was pulled back to reality by the cold voice of his chairman. 

He left immediately. As soon as Hal left, Edwin lit up a cigarette and puffed on it half heartedly while staring out of the French window. 

He knew that Janell had to be crying now. Just now, the little fella's tears had already started streaming down her face. She was trying really hard to hold back the tears. 

He knew that when he hung up, Janell would definitely cry sadly. At the thought of Janell's sad expression, Edwin could not sit still any longer. He got up and picked up the jacket hanging on the side and left. 

It was way after working hours, but all the assistants working outside his office were still busy with their works. 

"Chairman Carter!" Hal rushed over and waited for his master's order. "I'll be going on leave for a few days, but don't spread the news." Edwin informed him briefly and left. 

Hal lamented. He probably wouldn't have any chance to rest in the upcoming days. He returned to the office and immediately delegated the tasks Edwin had ordered. 

His boss sure had his own reasons to not spread the news out. Hal didn't dare to have any second guesses. All he had to do was follow the chairman's orders. 

As soon as Edwin hung up the call, Janell burst into tears instantly. 

If she didn't see her father, she didn't seem to miss him that much. But now that she had seen her father but couldn't be with him, she really couldn't accept that.

Laura Ferdinand and John Alex rushed in immediately and asked worriedly, "Janell, what's wrong?" 

"I want daddy." Janell cried loudly and heart wrenchingly. She only wanted her daddy. She couldn't even remember what she had promised him just now, so long her daddy was with her. 

"Don't cry Janell. As long as you're a good girl, daddy will come to see mommy soon." Laura tried her best to calm the crying Janell down. 

"Daddy doesn't want me anymore." Her father had never left her side ever before. Even when her father was busy with work, whenever she video-called him, he would never hang up on her. 

But he did that today. Janell, who had been missing her father so dearly really couldn't accept that. 

"How can your daddy not want you. He would never leave you because he loves you so so much.." 

Laura tried to persuade Janell but she didn't stop crying. Janell could no longer listen to what the others said. She had only one thing in mind, that was, she missed her daddy and really wanted to be with him. 

In the end, Laura couldn't calm Janell down, but she was also worried that all that crying would do her harm. She had no choice but to take Janell back to Jane. 

When Janell saw her mother, she cried even louder. She was crying as if she had been bullied by everyone in the world. 

"Baby, what's wrong?" Jane held Janell in her arms. She was worried and distressed. 

"I miss daddy!" Although she had promised daddy that she would not mention him in front of mommy, she was only a four-year-old child after all. She had completely forgotten about her promise when she was sad. 

Jane didn't know what to say. Jane tried to say something but didn't quite know how to explain it to Janell. 

Was she supposed to tell the little fella that mommy and daddy had a divorce. 

Daddy didn't want her, so mommy would be taking care of her from now on? Edwin had raised Janell all on his own. Even if Edwin decided not to claim custody for Janell, Jane insisted to not speak ill of Edwin in front of Janell. 

She hoped that the impression Janell had of Edwin was the tall and heroic figure, and that no one could ever replace him. 

She really did not know how to explain it to Janell. All Jane could do was to hug her tightly, stroke her back and comfort her in her own way. 

No one could stop Janell from crying. It took her a really long time to eventually stop and fall asleep in Jane's arms. 

Laura said worriedly, "Janell has never left her father's side since she was a baby. It's totally normal for her to miss her father. So don't worry too much." 

Jane smiled helplessly and said, "It's okay. She'll make it through." 

When Jane proposed the divorce, Jane had taken into consideration that Janell had never left her father, so she wanted to give her custody to Edwin. 

Who would've thought that Edwin decided to decline it? It was beyond Jane's expectation for Edwin to give up Janell's custody. 

Eventually, she accepted it without giving it much thought. She really wanted to raise Janell anyway. Since Edwin was unwilling to keep Janell, and it was what she had desired, it wasn't that bad an idea after all. 

But in Janell's heart, all she cared about was her father. It was very hard for her to accept that her father was no longer by her side. 

Laura said, "Jane, actually..." 

"Laura, stop. I understand." Jane interrupted Laura with a smile and said, "You don't have to make us breakfast from now onwards. I'm not that useless. You don't have to worry about me all the time. You're still carrying a baby and are due any time now. You are the one that we should be protecting instead." 

Laura responded, "I'm fine..." 

Jane interrupted her. "Laura, I am fine too. Please trust me, I can really do it." 

When she was betrayed in the past, she was able to come out from it. So what else could be stopping her now?

Nothing. 

She believed firmly that she could do it. She could work hard and take good care of her children. She could do it all... She didn't need anyone else to have everything done for her. 

"Jane, I.." 

"Laura, don't you believe me?" 

With Jane's words, Laura  understood that instant. She finally understood why Edwin proposed a divorce and why she did not want her to be taking care of her all the time. 

Because she was Jane Ronan! 

Since young, Jane had been very independent. She had no one to help her. She was used to taking care of herself and being held accountable for whatever she did.

She went through a lot later on. She had lost her memories, and for a very long time, she did not even know her own identity. One day, when she recalled everything, many things had changed..

CHAPTER 645 

Victor James opened his eyes. He saw colourful lights that spelled out the words - Victor, Happy Birthday! 

"Surprise..." Angela did a little twirl in front of Victor and spread out her hands. "Look over there, Victor." Victor turned his head and saw a heart-shaped cake and all his favorite dishes being laid out on the dining table. 

Now he recalled why Angela was asking him about today. She was trying to remind him that it was his birthday.

He didn't even remember his own birthday but she had remembered his birthday so well. 

All these years, he wasn't used to celebrating his own birthday. Few years ago, the soldiers in the military would also host birthday parties for him. 

Later, when they realised that he was not actually interested in it, they stopped. So very few remembered when his birthday was. 

So when Victor saw the birthday surprise Angela had prepared for him, he was actually very touched. Some simple decorations, a common heart-shaped cake, plus a few home-cooked dishes. This was the birthday dinner that Angela had prepared for Victor. 

Although the setting was extremely simple, it made Victor realize for the first time that it wasn't that bad after all to be celebrating his birthday.

"What do you think, Victor? Are you touched?" Angela said proudly with a bright smile on her gorgeous face, "I know I'm awesome and also very caring, but if you want to cry... if you really want to cry, then just go ahead. I promise I won't make fun of you." 

Victor chuckled and said, "You think you can make me cry with this simple setting? You have underestimated me!" 

Angela glared at him. "Damn, Victor. Can't you just say something nice?" Victor knocked her head and said, "Why put effort on a ceremonial event like this? I'm more concerned about the actual gift." 

Touched? Of course, he was touched, but he would not cry like what Angela had said. Instead, he wanted to express his gratitude with actions. Then, he stretched out his long arms to pick Angela up and strode to the room.

Angela held onto his neck and said while smiling, "Victor, be patient. Let's have the birthday cake first then we can go on and do other things." She had also prepared something big for later. 

If he was so impatient, then the real big gift she had prepared for him today would go to waste. 

She planned to have dinner first, and then they could enjoy some wine. At least they could start the night withn some romance first.

Victor said, "I want to eat you before the cake. 

"Victor, listen to me." 

Thud! 

Victor threw her onto the bed. He did not leave any opportunity for her to respond. Angela rubbed her painful butt and looked up to scold him. 

However, the moment she looked up, Victor had already removed all his clothes. 

"Damn!" 

This man really couldn't hold for a minute longer when he was impatient. He acted as if he had never been fed. 

Angela rolled out from the other side of the big bed and said, "Victor, we haven't had the cake yet and you haven't even made a birthday wish. Let's wait a little longer." 

"What's with eating cake? I want you to eat me right now." Who would care about dinner or cake? At that moment, Angela was the most delicious dish in Victor's opinion. 

Therefore, as soon as Angela jumped off the bed,Victor grabbed her back immediately. He bent over and held her down firmly. 

"Victor." Angela was both nervous and excited. 

"Shh..." Victor covered her lips with his fingers. "Keep quiet. Just feel how deep my love is for you." 

Angela had been in the entertainment industry for many years and there were many beautiful women and handsome men in the industry. Yet, if she were to turn up, she would steal all of their limelight straight away.

Victor had always known Angela to be a gorgeous lady. However, no matter how beautiful she was before, he still thought that the Angela underneath him now was the most beautiful he had ever seen. 

Her charming eyes and beautiful eyebrows took his breath away. At this moment, Victor didn't want anything else but to own and enjoy the moment with this woman. 

"Let's do it then." Angela was moved by Victor's burning passion, she could no longer care about the big present she had prepared. 

However, just as the two of them were ready, and Victor could not wait to be one with her, something happened! 

An accident! 

It happened without any warning! Victor was furious. "Angela, you did this on purpose, didn't you? Damn!" This woman had pranked him. He was absolutely furious. 

Angela felt wronged, "Victor, watch your words. Don't blame the wrong person." 

"Angela, I want to kill you right now." 

Victor had lost his mind from anger. Men could never use their brains at times like this. 

Angela also yelled, "I don't usually have my period so soon. It should be in another few days, but who would know for sure?" Her period decided to come at a significant time like this. 

It wasn't just Victor who was suffering, Angela didn't feel good also. Her period had always been punctual. Who would have thought it would start a few days in advance? 

She thought that God had to be punishing them on purpose. He surely didn't approve of them having a good time. 

The two, who were supposed to have a passionate night now could only look at each other, with fury in their eyes. 

Victor was certain that Angela did it on purpose, so he really wanted to strangle her to vent out his anger. Angela was also angry. She was angry because she had put in so much effort to give him a romantic birthday party, but Victor had yelled at her in return.

"Angela!" Victor shouted through gritted teeth. 

"Why don't I give you a handjob?" Angela said softly with a blushing face. 

"You..." Victor glared at her fiercely and went straight to the bathroom. He slammed the bathroom door shut. 

"Oh my god! Why are you so bad-tempered? I didn't mean it at all, seriously!" Angela pulled a face at the bathroom door. "Well, I hope you enjoy yourself there." 

Soon, Angela heard running water from the bathroom. Victor had to be showering himself in cold water. 

Angela pitied him too. Angela got out of the bed immediately, she put on her pajamas, and a sanitary pad. She was also scolding at the same time. "You deserve that cold shower since you don't know how to appreciate me. I will not shed a tear for you if you die from the cold in there right now."

And then a crazy scenario appeared in Angela's mind. Victor did not get his desire fulfilled, so he went for a cold shower. He eventually died from the unbearable chill...

---

---

CHAPTER 646 

Victor James dying from taking a cold shower! 

The news headline on the front page for the next day would read, "Captain James of the Jiangbei Military, found dead in the home of a famous actress." 

That would be sensational news!

By then, Angela Carter would definitely be famous all over the world because of this, and probably gain prominence as a pornstar too. 

Thinking of this, Angela had goosebumps all over her body. She finally came back to her senses. 

Damn! 

Although she was annoyed that Victor didn't know how to treat a woman properly, but, if something bad were to happen to him, she would definitely be heartbroken. So she wished that Victor would remain fine. 

He had to live a long life, or at least long enough until she leaves the world first. She surely didn't want to be devastated over Victor's passing. 

After a while, Victor came out of the bathroom. When he walked past Angela with only a bath towel, Angela could feel the chill coming from Victor's body. 

Although Jiangbei was in the south, was still quite warm during the day even in the month of January. People could run around in t-shirts and shorts. 

However, the temperature difference was quite significant at night. It was cold but Victor still took a cold shower. 

Even Angela felt cold at the thought of it. Victor was tough but he was still a human after all. Angela looked at his gloomy face and smiled apologetically. 

"Victor, I'm sorry you had to take the cold shower. In fact.." 

Victor glared at her. "Angela, if you dare to say one more word tonight. I'll crush you to death." As the saying goes, a wise man knows when the timing is right. 

Angela decided to keep her mouth shut. Victor's anger had not subsided, so she had better not provoke him any further. Victor took off the bath towel around his waist unceremoniously right in front of her. And then he walked to the wardrobe, completely naked, to get his change of clothes. 

Angela couldn't move her eyes away from him. She got a bit too excited and swallowed her saliva. Victor was trying to take his revenge. 

Finally, he got dressed and turned to Angela, "Angela, are you satisfied with what you saw?" 

"Satisfied! Of course I'm satisfied!" Angela nodded with a rather silly look. 

"You little pervert!" Victor finally smiled and came forward to rub her head like a kitten. "Didn't you want to celebrate my birthday, well get up then." 

Angela immediately ran over and hung onto him. "Captain James, I knew you're a sporting man. You won't be angry with me." 

Victor wrapped his arms around her waist and squeezed it like he was punishing her. "Let's go and have a check up at the doctor's tomorrow." 

Angela was confused. "Why are we seeing a doctor?" 

Victor glared at her once again, "Didn't you say that your period was not punctual?" 

He was.angry earlier from not being able to enjoy his special meal, but he wasn't that selfish. If he had been selfish, he wouldn't have gone to take a cold shower. 

Angela giggled and said, "It's fine if it's not punctual once in a while." 

Victor's face darkened. "What do you mean it's fine? I'll go with you tomorrow."

Angela responded sweetly. "Yes, Captain James! I'll do whatever you want me to do from now on, and I will never go against your will."

Angela smiled brightly with the shyness of a little girl. After waiting for so many years, Victor was finally gentle to her. 

….

New York, United States. 

Last night, Laura Ferdinand prepared a feast to welcome Jane Ronan and everyone else. It was quite late by the time they finished dinner. 

Before they arrived home, Janell had already fallen asleep. Robert Michael was carrying her. "This little fella is getting heavier by the day." 

Jane smiled gently, "She's over four years old now. She'll be five in a few months time. Of course she is getting heavier. " 

Robert then added, "You don't look well. You did not have a good rest earlier. Go get some rest first. I'll put this little fella to her bedroom."

"No, just let her sleep next to me. We've just arrived at a new place. I am worried that she is not used to it yet." 

Jane was worried that Janell would be afraid, but she was also scared and wanted Janell to keep her company so that she felt more secure. 

Robert turned around and headed towards Jane's room. "Then I'll put her in your room." 

Jane nodded and said, "I'll leave Andrew to you then. Help me to keep an eye on him. He's not familiar with this place, so I'm concerned that he will be scared too." 

"Mommy, I'm not scared," Andrew said. 

He was already a little man, so he shouldn't be scared. He had to protect.his mother and sister. 

"Good boy, Andrew!" Jane rubbed his head and added, "Andrew, you and uncle will sleep upstairs. Mommy will stay down here." 

Andrew nodded obediently. "Goodnight, mommy." 

Jane said softly, "Good night, Andrew!" 

Jane only returned to the room after watching Robert and Andrew go upstairs. 

Janell was sleeping soundly in bed. Jane pinched her face lightly, "Baby, thank you for staying by my side." 

Thankfully Janell was here to keep her company. Otherwise, she wouldn't have the courage to move forward. Jane lay down next to Janell and cuddled her. 

Not only could they keep each other warm, but Janell made her feel at ease and not be afraid of the future. 

After lying down for a while, Jane's eyelids got heavier too, she was very sleepy. She knew her body wouldn't be able to stand it if she tried to withstand it. She could not fall ill now. She was still carrying the baby she had with Edwin and there was also Janell. 

They all needed her, so she needed to be well. She had to rest in order to get through the challenge.

She fell asleep eventually. Without any surprise, she had a dream again. In her dream, there was a man in a white shirt, it was Edwin. 

Edwin sat opposite her, looking at her with a serious look. "Jane, I'm your husband. And you're my wife. I am the one you can rely on for the rest of your life." 

She knew, she had always known. Edwin was a man that she could rely on for the rest of her life. He was someone she could trust, so she could not let anything bad happen to him. 

Edwin continued, "Jane, the day after we got married, I told you that we would not separate no matter what. You promised me, why did you break your promise?" 

"I." Jane wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to, because she had proposed for the break up, and they had already divorced. 

What he said was true. So what else could she explain? 

"Jane, tell me, tell me..." Edwin suddenly turned ferocious. He grabbed Jane and shook her fiercely..

CHAPTER 647 

"Edwin, I.." Jane tried very hard to think of an excuse to calm Edwin down. 

However, she responded eventually, "I have nothing to say." Their divorce was already a fact. She could not find any reason to defend herself. 

"Jane, are younreally that cold-hearted? Or do you not have a heart at all." Edwin's voice was no longer as gentle as it used to be, it was so cold that it was spin chilling. 

Jane still could not say a single word to refute him. Edwin's accusation and everything he said were facts. She could not defend herself, and she didn't want to either. 

"Jane, get lost! Get lost as far.as possible! Don't show up in front of me again. I never want to see you again." 

Jane woke up from her dream following Edwin's yell. She reached out her hand to grab his hand instinctively. 

In the past, when she was by Edwin's side, whenever she had.nightmares, he would definitely hug her and comfort her. He would tell her to not be afraid and that he was there by her side. 

But today, Jane's hand grabbed nothing, there was nothing at all next to her... 

In a daze, she opened her eyes. Under the dim.orange light, there was only Janell and her. The big warm hug she missed wasn't there to give her the infinite sense of security. 

Suddenly, her heart was empty. The cold wind blew across the room. The feeling of fear was getting stronger, slowly invading her whole body. 

"Daddy, I miss daddy. I want daddy and mommy together." Janell, who was lying next to her, turned over and mumbled. 

Janell had grown up with her father. She had almost never been away from Edwin for this long. Now that they were apart all of a sudden, she would definitely miss her father. 

"Baby, I'm sorry! It's all my fault!" Jane held Janell in her arms. She would try her best to make up to Janell and never let her get hurt. 

It was only five o'clock in the morning. It was still dark outside, but Jane was already awake, waiting for the break of dawn with her eyes wide open. 

Jane did not sleep well, but Janell, who was beside her, had a very good rest. 

After a good night's sleep, Janell did a stretch before opening her eyes. When she opened her eyes, it took her quite a while to figure out who she was and where she was. 

Jane rubbed her chubby face and said, "Janell baby, you're up."

"Mommy, am I awake? Where am I now?" As expected, she did not know where she was, but fortunately, she still knew who she was. 

Jane couldn't help laughing out loud, "Are you not awake yet?" 

"I am awake." Janell scratched her tiny little head, looking all confused. 

"Mommy is here, and i'm here. But where is daddy?" She looked around and only saw her mother but there were no signs of her father. 

When she heard Janell mentioning about daddy, Jane's heart tightened again. She said, "Baby, you are in the United States with mommy now." 

"Oh, I'm in the United States." Janell was finally awake. She had promised her daddy to accompany mommy to the United States, and she was not supposed to mention daddy in front of mommy too. 

She had forgotten about it earlier. She.asked as soon as she thought of her father, only to recall after the question, to not mention her father in front of her mother. 

Jane changed the topic, "Well, let's get up quickly. Let me help you clean up first. Then we shall go somewhere today and see if there is anything you want to buy?" 

"I want to be by mommy's side and protect mommy." She remembered her father's instructions at all times. 

Her father had told her that they did not come to the United States for fun this time, but she had an important responsibility to take care of her mother. 

When she completed the important task, her father would be very happy. If her father was happy, he would come to visit them and she would be happy too. 

"My baby is such a good girl. Thank you for protecting me." Jane kissed her and pulled Janell out from the blanket. 

Laura's call came, before Jane even pulled Janell out from the blanket completely. She then tucked Janell back under the blanket. 

She answered the phone and had the speaker turned on. Laura's piercing voice immediately rang through the room. 

"My big and Little Janes, get up now! Go have your breakfast, then I'll be your tour guide today. I'll take you to a few famous spots in New York for sight-seeing." 

Jane had not spoken yet, but Janell, who was beside her, replied quickly, "Auntie Laura, I want to build a snowman."

Laura promised immediately, "Okay, get up quickly then. I've prepared breakfast. We'll leave after breakfast." Laura lived in the house next to Jane's. 

After knowing that Jane was coming to the United States, she had been making plans. 

From now on, the two families would have meals together. They would work and play together. She would not be bored anymore.

Now all of them could be together. They could eat, drink, play, and do all sorts of other activities together. Just thinking about these possibilities made her day. 

"Go wash your face, baby." This time, Janell got out of bed without her mother carrying her. She put on her slippers and went to the bathroom. 

"Laura , I'll go help her out. See you later." Jane hurriedly followed Janell into the bathroom after she hung up. 

"Baby, you can wash yourself." Jane handed the towel to Janell and prepared the toothbrush for her. 

Janell stood next to her and brushed her teeth. The tall and short figures stood side by side with their actions completely in sync, as if they were specially trained for it. 

"Mommy, I'm done." Janell opened her mouth to let her mother check. She loved being clean. 

"Yes, it's very clean. I will reward you with a 'heart' later." Jane smiled gently and took a towel to wipe away the froth on the corner of Janell's mouth. 

After washing up, Jane returned to her room with Janell and asked her to choose the clothes she wanted to wear. 

Janell wanted the down jacket that looked like the ice princess. "Mommy, I would like to wear this." 

"Well, you will be an ice princess after wearing this too." Jane helped Janell change into her pink outfit. Janell did a little swirl in front of the mirror after getting dressed. 

She felt that she was more beautiful than the ice princess. 

Jane gave her a thumbs-up and said with a smile, "Our baby is so.beautiful!" 

"Mommy is beautiful, that's why I am beautiful too." Janell was a little embarrassed from the compliment. Her response cracked Jane up too. 

"What are you guys talking about?" Laura wasn't someone who was patient. She decided to come and look for them after waiting for some time. 

"Our baby just got changed. What do you think? Isn't she beautiful?" Jane said to Laura.

"Janell, I like you very much."Laura hugged Janell and pinched her face. 

"So Jane, I am carrying a baby boy right now. You see, both John Alex and I are both good looking, so can I pre-book Janell as my future daughter in-law?.

CHAPTER 642 

Victor James had just ordered for his men to take action when his phone suddenly rang. 

Angela Carter called him. Victor took the call immediately when he saw Angela's number. He didn't have time to deal with these useless people anymore. 

He picked up the phone and said, "Angela, I just called you, and you must be crazy to hang up on me. Are you done with your work now?" 

Victor's temper was triggered when he called Angela earlier and she hung up his call because she needed to begin filming. Hence, he decided to teach those rascals a lesson sternly. 

He certainly couldn't tell others about such a shameful thing, so he vented his anger on those scumbags. 

When Angela called, although he spoke rudely, but the smile on his face just made him look like a fanboy. His smile was particularly wide. 

Angela's pleasant voice came from the phone. "Victor , you know I'm filming. Why did you call me?" 

"Angela, which is more important, filming or me?" 

Surely, he must be the pick? 

"Of course filming... is not as important as you." Knowing that this man was petty sometimes, Angela didn't want to offend him.Otherwise, the surprise she was going to give him tonight would be ruined. 

"You're a sweet talker," Victor responded casually, yet his face was full of tenderness. "I'll drive to the film set to pick you up and have dinner together tonight." 

He didn't know if this little girl was charming him. If she wasn't by his side, then he found eating to be such a chore. 

"Well, Captain James, I'll wait for you then. Hurry up!" Angela said with a grinning face. 

"Angela, wait for me. You'll see what I have for you tonight." 

Angela was brave to seduce him with that voice, so she had to put out the fire for him tonight. "Captain James, I can't wait. If you don't have much, won't let you go." Angela spoke playfully. 

Mia was feeling disgusted over her sweet voice already, but Victor seemed to like it. He sped up his walk. Victor drove his conspicuous military vehicle to Angela's film set. 

He thought it was a good idea to have a dinner date first before going wild on her tonight. 

Victor felt pain all over his body as he hadn't met Angela for a long time. She must make up for what she had done recently.

Thinking that there would be a "feast" at night, Victor was whistling happily while driving the car. 

Today was Victor's birthday. Angela knew that Victor must have forgotten his own birthday, but she remembered. 

Therefore, she changed her filming to an earlier time in order to give Victor a surprise at night.

Of course, she was the surprise. She felt that any gift she gave Victor wouldn't be as good as presenting herself to him. 

She had not been with him for a long time. He must have missed her very much. Angela had always been so shameless and confident. 

"She slept with this man for one day, and she slept with another man the other day. Now the gossip's surrounding Captain James. I think her good days are coming to an end." A woman spoke out quietly, talking about Angela's "promiscuous" days. 

"That woman is not good at acting. If she didn't sell her body, how can she play the leading role? Let's wait and see. There's going to be a good show." Another woman continued. 

Angela sat in her personal car and removed her makeup happily. She was thinking about Victor. The voices of two women talking about her came from behind her car. 

Damn! 

The two women kept praising her acting in front of Angela, which made her feel a little embarrassed and shy earlier. At this moment, they were bad mouthing her. 

She didn't know if they knew she was there and deliberately said it anyway. Angela was never a person who would let others step on.

When she heard someone saying bad things about her behind her back, it really wouldn't be typical of her to just ignore and move on. She wound down the window and poked her head out. 

Looking at the two actresses who were bad mouthing her, she smiled and said, "Two aunties." 

"What? What did you say?" As they heard her speak, the two women had forgotten that they had been caught criticizing her earlier.

"Aunties, even if I sell myself in exchange for my roles, it's also a form of skills. It's all because I'm beautiful and young, and the big boss likes me. Look at you, your skin is saggy and dull, you don't even like your skin. If you have time to discuss how I sleep with others, why don't you use the time to pamper yourself? Maybe Captain James will like you one day." 

"You, you..." The two women were so angry that they could not utter a complete sentence. 

"Aunties, I have to remove my makeup now, so I can't catch up now. You are welcome to discuss ways to seduce a man some other day." Angela said with a smile and closed the window, which made the two actresses extremely angry.

Humph- 

Those women did not know their place. She never cared about how others looked at her. What she only cared about was her family and Victor. 

She knew that the incident at the airport yesterday must have stirred some headlines about her in the tabloids. 

There were people claiming that she was deliberately creating news for her own fame. 

Apparently, according to others, she was bold enough to spread the rumours about her and Captain James of the military region of Jiangbei, who was not even in the entertainment industry. 

Everyone who heard of Victor knew that he had a bad temper. If someone provoked him, he would not let the person go. 

As for the reputation of Captain James, he was a big shot who was admired by so many people, but none of them could come close to him. 

There was a rumor that a woman had tried to get close to him, but had been scared out of her wits by his loud voice. 

She got so scared and shocked that she died later on. It was also rumored that Captain James's demands and standards were particularly high. 

Ordinary women would not be able to satisfy him, and there had been women who died on his bed before. These rumors were spread quickly, and Victor had never clarified them, which further confirmed the credibility of the rumors. 

Everyone did not know that these rumors were made up by Angela. She needed to create some bad reputation for Victor to prevent other women from approaching him. 

Angela thought that the news was spread discreetly. Little did she know, without Victor's indirect approval, how could these news spread that big? 

He was the well-known captain of the military region of Jiangbei. No one would have enough guts to spread bad rumours about him..

---

CHAPTER 643 

Angela Carter had won the fight. She asked her assistant to continue removing her makeup for her, like her mood was not affected at all. 

However, the two women told the filming crew what had happened earlier and exaggerated the story. They said that Angela called them old when she was just a few years younger than them. How could they be "old"? 

They felt offended. However, Angela had a cute appearance, especially with her vibrant smile, which made her look younger. Although she was in her early twenties, she still looked like an eighteen-year-old student. 

In Angela's own words, she had great genes and was born beautiful to attract people's attention. What could she do?

Well, Angela had always been so shameless and confident. 

As soon as she was done cleaning up the phone call from Victor came in. "Angela, I'm here. Where are you?" 

She was at the film set in Jiangbei. When there were celebrities filming, the security was very strict, so entry was limited. 

"At the North Gate, I asked Arthur Simon to get you." Angela was going to test if Victor was willing to introduce himself as her boyfriend. 

"I saw him." After that, Victor hung up the phone. Angela thought that Victor would hesitate, but the man didn't hesitate at all. She didn't know if he knew the significance of finding her at work. The world knows that he was her boyfriend. 

After thinking for a while, Angela decided to call Victor to explain clearly. She had been pursuing him and waiting for him for so many years. She was willing to give him more time to think about announcing their relationship. 

Of course, no matter how long he would need, he was still hers anyway. No one else could take him away.

 As soon as the call was connected, Victor answered immediately. He said impatiently. "We'll be there soon. Why are you still calling me?"

"Victor, there are crew members and reporters here. If you come, it's implicating that we're making our relationship public to the media... Are you sure you still want to come?" Angela asked the last sentence in a very soft voice. 

Although she was prepared for Victor to turn back, she should still feel somewhat disappointed if he really turned back.

After all, she still hoped that Victor would publicly declare their relationship instead of keeping the relationship private. 

"Angela, are you missing some brain cells recently?" Victor said. 

He had already appeared in Angela's sight. He was still wearing his military uniform. He was tall and looked sharp, and he walked very confidently towards Angela. 

Angela watched him approach her gradually, getting closer and closer. 

Looking at his chiseled and handsome face, her heart was pounding so fast that it seemed to be jumping out of her chest. 

Damn it! 

Victor looked the same as usual. Why did she think he was especially handsome today? 

Angela couldn't move her eyes away from him. "My god, isn't that man Captain James?" 

"Yeah, it's really him." 

"Yes, it's him. I've seen him in some military-related news a few days ago." 

"Why did he come to the set? Did he..." 

Amidst the confusion and the noise of the crowd, Victor James walked over to Angela and touched her head gently with a smile, but what he said was quite the contrary, "Angela, are you stupid?" 

Angela was immersed in her beautiful dream. She imagined Victor walking over to her, then he knelt down on one knee and said to her affectionately, "Angela, marry me. Under the witness of the media, marry me." 

However, Victor's words brought Angela back to reality. Angela was so angry that she gritted her teeth. "Bastard!" 

The son of a bitch ruined her daydream! 

She really wanted to bite him to death! 

"I came here to pick you up, and you scolded me." Angela was getting more attractive. Seeing her, Victor felt increasingly turned on by her. 

He can't wait to just go wild on her right now. Perhaps it wasn't too bad to enjoy her as a "feast" before dinner. He had always been a man of action. 

When he had this idea, he made his move already. He carried Angela on his shoulder, turned around and strode away. 

"It turns out to be true. Their relationship is real!" A reporter shouted. In an instant, the reporters were flashing their cameras at the couple, desperately trying to take photos of them from different angles. 

Neil stopped and looked back at the reporters who were taking photos. 

"We are lovers. Spread the word however you want, but please delete the photos on camera. If any of you upload any photos online, you can quit this industry, rest assured." 

After speaking rudely, Victor continued to hold Angela as they left. He walked faster and faster, hoping that they could reach his car soon so he could do whatever he wanted. 

"Victor, why did you allow them to spread the word about our relationship but not allow them to take photos?" 

Angela was so excited that she forgot that she was hanging onto Victor. 

"I'm just happy and I can do whatever I want. Do I still need a reason?" Victor knew how much Angela cared about her looks. If the photo of her hanging upside down by his shoulders was spread out, she would go crazy.

"Of course, your happiness is very rare." Although the plot didn't go as Angela had expected, Victor did very well today when he came over. 

Angela decided to be nicer to him today and not bully him, so she was still going to give him a present for tonight.

Seeing Angela being carried away by Victor, Arthur Simon looked away with disappointment in his eyes. He said nothing and helped his assistant to pack up Angela's belongings. 

Previously, he followed Angela wherever she went to protect her safety. Since Mia was in a relationship with Victor, Alfred had to stand aside whenever they were together. 

Victor carried Angela out of the North Gate and got in the car parked on the side. As soon as the car door was closed, he rushed to Angela like a wolf. 

He lifted her dress up with his strong hand, "Angela, I can't wait any longer." 

"Victor, wait a little longer." Although it was exciting to do it in the car, Angela had prepared a big gift for Victor today. 

If he had sex with her now, the big gift presentation at night would not go as well as she wanted. Therefore, she needed to stop Victor's advances for now..

---

---

CHAPTER 644

"Angela, are you stupid?" If he could hold it in, would he choose to do it in the car? It was cramped in the car. With any bigger movements, they would be hitting their heads everywhere. Of course it wouldn' t be as exciting. 

Angela pushed Victor James's chest and continued to persuade him, "Victor, can you be more flexible? Be patient, okay? I'll make sure you have an amazing night later." 

"Did you prepare something?" The desire that Victor had in his eyes faded a little, but he was still pressing on Angela's body without letting go. 

Angela smiles cunningly and said, "Captain James, I promise to have you fully satisfied. If you're not satisfied, I will pay you back ten times more. What do you think?" 

"Pay me back ten times more?" That was an irresistible offer. There was no reason for Victor to disagree. For the sake of his happiness, he had to be patient. 

Before he let go of Angela, he whispered in her ears, "Angela, remember this, I already had a reaction just now." 

No matter how bold Angela was, after all, she was still a woman. When she heard those wicked words from Victor's mouth, her face turned red inadvertently. 

His body was pressed on top of her. Of course she could tell if he'd had any reactions down there. Angela sneaked a peek at him. 

Seeing how hard he was trying to hold it in, Angela decided that she would make it up to him later that night. Victor returned to the driver's seat. He started the car and drove out quickly. "What do you want to eat for dinner?' 

Angela said with a naughty smile, "I want to eat you, of course."

Victor tightened his grip on the steering wheel and said, "Angela, if you don't want me to do it to you in the car, you better start talking properly." 

Angela leaned on the back of Victor's seat and looked at his face from the rearview mirror. "Captain James, why don't you try and guess what day it is today?" 

Victor had no patience at all. "What day is it?" Angela smiled and said, "I'm asking you to take a guess." 

Victor was getting angry. "You women always remember this and that couple's days. There are even a few of them. How will I know what kind of special day you're talking about?" 

"Victor James!" Angela glared at this man with his low EQ. "Screw you, are you picking a fight with me?" 

However, Victor was angrier. "Angela, just tell me. If not I'll just find a random place for dinner." 

"Let's go home for dinner. We'll order takeout later," Angela said angrily. 

In order to celebrate Victor's birthday, she had already asked someone to prepare the food at home in advance to surprise him. But this fella was too horny, all he wanted was to eat her. 

He didn't even want to think about anything else. Whatever they were going to have for dinner really didn't matter to Victor. What mattered more was how he was going to eat Angela tonight.

Baked? Boiled? Or fried? Every method of having her had its special edge, and he wanted them all. They had the whole night anyway, so he could just eat her with all different methods. He had to be fully satisfied. 

Therefore, when Angela said that she wanted to go home and order takeaway, Victor didn't oppose the idea. In fact he was actually a little excited. They wouldn't even need to change their location after having dinner. 

He could just enjoy a deep fried Angela straight away. Thinking of this, Victor pressed the pedal slightly harder and the car accelerated. 

The journey that would usually take almost one hour only took Victor half an hour today. The thing he did most during that journey was overtaking every other car. 

"Are you crazy, Victor?" As soon as the car stopped, Angela yelled loudly. She was in the backseat with her seat belt properly fastened. Yet, she felt like she was going to be thrown out of the car in many instances.

"I'm not crazy. I'm just 'hungry." Victor opened the car door and picked Angela up straight away. He couldn't even let her walk home on her own. 

"Victor, why are you so impatient? People would think that perhaps you have never seen a woman in your life? Listen, don't be in such a hurry. We have plenty of time tonight." 

Angela pretended to push him a little. But in fact, she was also getting excited. Victor brought Angela into the elevator, as he turned he pressed Angela against the wall and kissed her passionately, 

Angela responded to his kiss with burning passion as well. 

Suddenly, the elevator door opened while they were still kissing There was a person at the elevator door. He scratched his head awkwardly, indecisive whether to enter or not. After a good thought, he decided to step into the elevator as it was a public facility after all. 

However, Angela and Victor were still hugging and kissing each other. Victor was touching her at some inappropriate places, he wanted to take Angela's clothes off. 

When she felt a chill on her body, Angela quickly realized that they were still in the elevator. When she opened her eyes and saw another person inside the elevator, she was startled and hid behind Victor immediately, 

"There's a ghost, Victor!" Angela was bold, but she had a fatal weakness. She was afraid of ghosts. She knew for sure that they did not exist but she was still scared. 

They were so engrossed in their kisses earlier that they were completely oblivious to their surroundings when the elevator door opened and someone stepped in. 

That's why she thought there was really a ghost. "You are the ghost, not mel!" The person was obviously offended and he stared at Mia fiercely after being called a ghost. 

Victor pressed Angela's head on his chest. He glared at the man and selected the closest floor on the elevator button panel.

"Get out! As soon as the elevator door opened, the man got out as he was told.

"How can people be so rude?" They were clearly the ones doing inappropriate things in public. Yet, Captain James said it was the guy who was not being sensible, and that he shouldn't have come in and interrupted them. 

As soon as the man left, Victor wanted to continue. But Angela had already lost her interest and refused to let him get closer. 

Victor was a little annoyed. "Angela, what the hell are you thinking? There's no ghost!" Angela said softly, "Yes there is. There's one right beside me." 

Victor looked around and asked, "Where?"

Angela smiled cunningly and said, "A perverted ghost!" 

Victor replied, "Tonight, this perverted ghost is going to serve you well."

Finally, the elevator reached their floor.

As soon as they got out of the elevator, Angela held onto Victor. "Close your eyes, Victor." 

"What are you scheming?" Victor thought Angela could be pranking him but he still closed his eyes as he was told. Anyway, he thought it wasn't bad to be bullied by her to make her happy occasionally. 

Angela said, "Close your eyes and don't peek. Open only when I ask you to."

Neil said, "Don't worry, I won't peek." 

What on earth was this girl doing, being all mysterious? He was getting excited all of a sudden. Angela unlocked the unit with her fingerprint. She turned on the lights and went to pull Victor in,"You can open your eyes now Victor."

CHAPTER 639 FEAR OF SLEEP

Yesterday, when she learned that Jane was coming to the United States and would stay next door to them, Laura Ferdinand took John Alex to see the house in the middle of the night.

Although she trusted Edwin's arrangement, how could Laura be at ease if she did not see it with her own eyes? 

"Laura, it's so good to have you here." Jane felt like home when she saw Laura, and recalled the time where Laura moved to Jiangbei with her many years ago. 

When they moved from Kyoto to Jiangbei, they packed light and just bravely headed over with nothing.

At that time, they were full of energy and confidence. They believed that they would be able to create a future of their own in Jiangbei.

Later, the two of them slowly settled down in Jiangbei. With their own studio creating bridal designs, their lives were pretty good. 

Jane believed that she could adapt to life in New York too. She wanted to live in this city with her children, because this city was where Edwin was born and where he grew up. 

She had not been by his side when he was in New York. In future, she could not be by his side too. Hence, this was her way of reconnecting with him. 

It was a three-storey landed property with a small yard. There were flowers and greens everywhere, and a small vegetable garden in the yard. The common areas were all in the ground floor, while rooms were located in the second and third floor. 

"Well, Jane, you and Janell will stay on the second floor. I'll bring you there. Robert, you and Andrew will take the third floor. Have fun exploring." 

Laura pulled Jane away after. She really regarded herself as the hostess of this house. 

There were three rooms on the second floor. One was the main bedroom, one was a children's room, and one was a study. 

The decoration of each room was unique. The design of the master bedroom was simple, and Janell's room had a kiddy theme. 

The study was decorated in a vintage style, and even the drawing board and tools were prepared for Jane. 

Jane was amazed. Edwin's assistant was so meticulous and he paid close attention to details.

The master bedroom was spacious and bright. The wardrobe and dressing table were arranged neat and tidy. What attracted Jane most was the vase of Jasmine flowers in the room. 

"Laura , thank you for preparing so much for me." Jane had liked the fragrance of Jasmine flowers since she was a child. She rarely mentioned it. 

She didn't expect that Laura still remembered it after so many years. 

"Jane, do you know that when I heard that you were coming to New York, I was excited at first, and then worried... I didn't expect that my worries had turned true. Why did you divorce Edwin?" Laura asked. 

When John Alex got the news from Barnes, Laura was beside him. At that time, she was so agitated that she shouted at Barnes, but he told her that Jane proposed the divorce. 

During Jane's absence for three years, Laura knew how miserable Edwin had lived, so she could not believe that they were divorced. 

"Laura, let's not mention him, shall we?" When she saw Laura, she finally stopped thinking about Edwin. When Laura brought him up, Jane thought of him again, and it was very depressing. 

Laura responded, "Jane, don't hide your problems. Whoever I am to you, in my heart, you are my best friend. If I have a problem, I will tell you about it. If you have problems, I hope that you'll tell me." 

"Laura, give me two days to think about it, and I will tell you when I have thought matters through clearly." 

Jane's mind was chaotic. She could not believe that she ended her marriage too. Jane needed time to figure things out. After that, she could move on. 

"Jane, no matter what, don't forget that you still have me. I abandoned everything and went to Jiangbei with you before, now I can..." Laura continued speaking. 

"Laura, don't do anything stupid. I'll live here with my children. Don't say those words anymore." 

Laura was pregnant. If she did something crazy and hurt herself, how would Jane explain to John Alex? 

"Silly girl, we are mothers now. We are no longer the fearless version of ourselves like the past." Laura assured Jane. 

She did miss the past, but she was very content now. People should cherish every day they have. One should not always be stuck in the past and abandon the future. 

"Jane, you didn't sleep much on the plane. Take a bath and rest first." Robert was worried that Jane's body would not be able to cope after such a long journey. She was pregnant, so he needed to be careful. 

"I asked John Alex to prepare a feast. Come to my house for dinner tonight." 

Laura looked at the time and said, "It is almost dinner time, actually. Put down your things and come over. You won't lose anything if you sleep less." 

Robert added, "Jane is pregnant. She's about two months in." 

"You're pregnant? Then why did Edwin still." Laura bit her lip and commented nervously. "Sit down and rest for a while. I'll bring dinner over." Laura was not even that nervous when she was pregnant. 

As soon as she heard that Jane was pregnant again, Laura was extremely nervous. 

Jane laughed, "It's okay. I'm pregnant for the second time. The baby is fine." 

Jane felt that her baby was very strong and brave. The baby had been disturbed by so many things that had happened in the past few days. 

"Don't talk too much. Rest up, and then get up to eat when you feel better. If you don't feel well, I'll send dinner over." Laura instructed her so Jane was forced to take a short nap.

Although she did not sleep on the plane, she was not sleepy at all. She was surprisingly energetic, which she thought was weird too. 

Perhaps, she didn't dare to sleep. She was afraid that when she lay down, she would feel the absence of a thick chest, and she couldn't listen to his calm heartbeat to sleep. 

When she had a nightmare, no one could wake her out of it. She did not sleep at all on the flight, and she also did not sleep the night before the divorce was finalized. She could fall asleep now, but she was just too afraid to fall asleep. 

Laura took the two children away and insisted that Jane rest for a while. Jane lay on a soft and comfortable big bed and stared at the ceiling with her eyes wide open. 

Lying on the bed for a while, she gradually felt sleepy. She blinked hard again to keep herself awake. She was afraid to sleep because she was worried of having nightmares and being taken away by those evil spirits in her nightmares..

CHAPTER 640 I WANT TO CUT OFF EVERYTHING

When she fell asleep lately, she would have nightmares. 

In the past, Jane experienced this before. However, she stopped having nightmares when she returned to Edwin's side. Jane was too familiar with the horrible feeling and she didn't want to experience it again. 

Because of fear, Jane did not dare to fall asleep. She got up from the bed, opened the suitcase, and planned to take out the clothes in the luggage to hang them in the wardrobe. 

She wanted to find something to do so she wouldn't fall asleep and she wouldn't miss Edwin too. Maybe time would pass faster. 

When Jane opened the suitcase, she realized that it wasn't filled with her clothes, instead it was filled with her design materials and tools. 

There were her beloved brushes, drawing boards that Edwin had given her, and a lot of her hand-drawn designs. 

These things were trash in other people's eyes, but to her, they were precious treasures. Every unwanted sketch was Jane's creation, and the drawing board was given to her by Edwin. 

Jane recalled the day that Edwin gifted her the drawing board. On that day, Edwin got off work early and went to PM Corporation to pick her up. 

He invited her to have dinner outside and took her for a walk. Finally, they returned to the car. 

When she was about to fall asleep in his arms, he took out the drawing board and said, "Jane, it's for you. Do you like it?" 

The items that she needed in her daily life were all prepared by Edwin, but this was the first time that he gave her a gift. 

"I like it! Of course I like it!" How could she not like it when he had given her the gift? 

"As long as you like it." At that time, Edwin smiled very widely. Later, Jane learned from Uncle Watson that the drawing board was customized by Edwin and he even put it together on his own. 

The gift was not expensive, but every detail of the drawing board showed Edwin's sincerity.

The clearer her thought was, the more Jane understood how much Edwin had cared about her in the past few years, 

When she thought of this, she felt as if her heart was being clenched by someone else, and she couldn't breathe. 

Jane didn't want to see it anymore. She closed the suitcase immediately and wanted to find something else to distract her. There were no clothes in the luggage, so buying clothes was Jane's priority. 

She wrote it down in her notebook. It was so cold in New York, so she had to buy a thick coat for Janell and Andrew as soon as possible. 

However, when Jane opened the wardrobe and looked through it, she was shocked again. The wardrobe was full of clothes, including coats, cotton jackets, down jackets, and many more varieties. 

The color and patterns were all to her liking. Not only her wardrobe was filled with clothes, but everyone's wardrobes were full of clothes too. So even when they got divorced, Edwin still didn't treat his "former wife" badly. 

He still prepared everything for her like how he did before. In the past, Jane could accept it because she was his wife. But now that she had nothing to do with him, so why should she still enjoy all these?

She wanted to be firm with Edwin that he should stop doing these things for her in the future. She didn't want to be his burden anymore. He could pursue a new, happy life.

As for her, she had already lost him. She hoped that he could find his happiness soon.

Jane picked up the phone and looked at the familiar number for a long time. She wanted to call him badly, but she didn't have the courage to press the dial button. 

She was afraid that as soon as she heard his voice, she would spill the truth in her heart. She did not want to ask him to pursue his happiness, but she wanted to listen to his voice. 

After hesitating for a long time, Jane was in a dilemma. She did not even have the courage to call him. 

After some time, it was getting dark outside. She gritted her teeth and typed a line of words, "Mr. Carter, I can take care of myself. I don't need you to arrange matters for me. Please take care of those who deserve your care." 

The words did not directly reject Edwin's support and care, but each word seemed to have thorns. This message could pierce through his heart, as it did to her heart already. 

Jane typed the message with her trembling hands. She sent the message. 

Since she had finalized her divorce, she had to cut off all ties with him and keep a distance from him. She could not let him suffer any inexplicable harm because of her anymore. 

After sending the text message, Edwin did not reply to her like before. Jane stared at the phone. Her feelings were complicated. She hoped that he would reply to her once, but she also hoped that he would not reply. 

In the end, she shook her head and smiled. "Jane, oh, Jane, how can you be so hypocritical?" Jane had just put the phone down when the phone rang suddenly. 

She picked it up and looked at it. This phone number was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was. 

When she answered the phone, she heard Hal Barnes's voice. "Hello, Miss Ronan! I am Chairman Carter's assistant, Hal Barnes. I wonder if you still remember me?" 

Jane certainly remembered him. "Mr. Barnes, what's the matter?" 

"Here's the thing. I arranged the house in the United States for you privately. I prepared everything behind Edwin's back. At that time, I thought that even if you're no longer Chairman Carter's wife, Janell was still Chairman Carter's child. I couldn't let her suffer, so I made the decision to prepare the house for you." 

"I was chided by Chairman Carter for meddling in other people's business. Miss Ronan, I won't do it in the future anymore. Please don't misunderstand that Chairman Carter did it for you."

"Miss Ronan, I'm just worried that you'll blame Chairman Carter, so I called you to explain. Do you understand now?" Hal Barnes spoke calmly. 

On the other side of the phone, Hal discretely looked at Chairman Carter who was sitting on the other side of the desk. Edwin was still emotionless. Hal knew that Edwin would not be so calm as he looked on the surface.

Otherwise, Edwin would not have asked him to call Jane to explain. To be honest, he was busy all day long and barely had time for rest If it weren't for Edwin's instructions, he wouldn't meddle in other people's business too. 

"It's good that it's not him. You don't need to do this anymore in the future. Thank you for your kindness anyway." Jane responded politely and hung up the phone. 

As she hung up the phone, she seemed to hear that something was shattered. Maybe it was the broken heart in her chest..

---

CHAPTER 641 ONE WORD SNATCH

How strange was she behaving? It was she who sent a message to tell Edwin Carter not to prepare anything for her. 

She wanted to cut off all ties with him. But when she heard from Hal that these were not prepared by him, she was sad again.

Jane patted her face and tried to put on a weak smile. "Jane, don't think about anything that doesn't belong to you. Think about Janell , think about the child in your belly. You are not alone, and you still have them." She told herself. 

Yes, she was not alone. She still had her children... Jane felt a little better, as if she could finally feel her heartbeat calmly again.

"Chairman Carter, I followed your words and have explained the situation to your wife." Hal hung up the phone and looked into Edwin's gloomy eyes.

He then wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. Edwin did not say a word, and his face remained cold as usual. His hand held the phone so strongly that it seemed like he wanted to break the phone. 

His boss didn't say a word, and Hal still stood still there. He didn't dare to walk away. He wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead again and again. 

After a long time, Hal thought that Edwin might have fallen asleep with his eyes open. 

Finally, Edwin said, "Please send Luis George in." 

"Okay, I'll go right away." After getting the order, Hal ran away quickly. If he stayed any longer, he would be scared out of his wits. He ran away when he had the chance. 

When Hal went out, Luis opened the door quickly and came in. "Chairman Carter, you asked for me." 

Edwin said coldly, "Speak." 

Luis said immediately, "Chairman Carter, Mrs. Carter has arrived safely. We have taken the most thorough measures to ensure her safety over there. There wouldn't be any problem.

The people who blocked them at the airport have all been caught by our people." 

Edwin only spoke one word, but Luis knew what he wanted to hear. After all, Luis had been with him for so many years and learned a lot. 

"Well." Edwin responded briefly and went back to his expressionless face, so that no one could see his emotions. 

Their boss looked cold and distant, but Luis understood him too well, so he continued, "Chairman Carter, while you were busy with your wife's matters yesterday, Ed Yates found a way to escape from Jiangbei and returned to his base in B City." 

"So what?"

Shengtian not only dominated Jiangbei, but also the whole business world. He didn't need his enemy to be in Jiangbei to deal with him. If he wanted to hurt someone, he would be able to find the person from every corner of the world. 

Whoever provoked him would be seeking their own death! 

The Greyson family went down like this, and so did the Tyrion family. Edwin had easily defeated them and left no chances of survival. 

Ed was from the Yated family, who had a better background than the Greysom family and the Tyrion family. 

He seemed as equipped as Edwin. However, no matter how strong LY Group was, it was still no match for Edwin . 

The first headquarters of Shengtian had been based in the United States, and Edwin spent most of his time working there. 

A few years ago, the headquarters of Shengtian moved back here because he saw huge business opportunities at home. 

After a few years, Rovio had bought over a lot of well-known companies that were on the verge of bankruptcy. The investment allowed them to continue to expand their thriving business. 

Every job deserved to be respected. Every profession was profitable, and each profession had talented people. Edwin had a good grasp on how to make the best out of talented people. 

Therefore, for the past few years, the business of Shengtian had been expanding all over the country, and it has gained great reputation on the international platform. 

Now, at the mention of Leon Carter from Shengtian, everyone knew that he was a legendary man. He was a man that could only be admired in life. 

Edwin added, "Pay attention to every move of the Yates family. We must snatch every project that they want." 

"Chairman Carter, are we going to snatch every project that they want?" Luis asked tentatively. 

Edwin shot him a cold look. Luis nodded quickly and said, "I'm going to pass on the message now." 

Luis understood that Chairman Carter was fighting against the Yates family. Shengtian would get every project the Yates family wanted, and they would force the Yates family into a dead end gradually. 

What was the point of doing that? This was the usual means of Chairman Carter. He wanted to kill people, but he didn't need to resort to violence. 

He secretly forced the enemy into a desperate situation. As long as the LY Group was forced into a desperate situation, Ed Yates would not stand a chance against them.

He guessed that Chairman Carter did not want to see Ed Yates dead. Instead, he wanted Ed Yates to be homeless, pathetic and suffer! 

In the military region of Jiangbei. 

Victor James had nothing on his schedule, and Angela Carter was off filming on site again. He was so free that he was patiently watching his men perform their interrogation.

Yesterday, he told Angela that as long as a person was in his territory, even if he was a dead man, they would find a way to make him speak. 

He didn't exaggerate. The instruments of torture he had here were all used to deal with military spies. Military spies had typically undergone the most brutal training and were the best candidates to attack others. 

Even so, the instruments of torture here could extort confessions from military spies. What's a few weaklings to them? They just told them the usage of the tools and the consequences after. 

Before they could use it on the men, a man got so scared that he wet his pants. One by one, they plopped down on their knees and begged for mercy... 

However, he had given them a chance before. It was their choice to forego their chances. Since the instruments of torture had been taken out, he must use them anyway. 

Listening to their screams and cries, Victor was excited. "Cry harder, shout louder." 

"Captain James, as we said, it was Ed Yates who sent us to capture Mrs. Carter. He wanted to transfer Mrs. Carter to B City. We also told you the location of our lair in Jiangbei. The rest of our men were also caught. Just give us a quick death."

A man begged loudly. They were not afraid of death. They were just afraid that they would suffer worse than death. 

Obviously, Victor wanted them to make their lives a living hell. How could they not be afraid? 

"Go on, say more. Maybe i'll let you go if I'm happy." He was not running a charity, why would he let them go when they begged him on their knees? 

"We've said what we should say. They said. 

"Since they've finished, let's get started." His day was too boring. There weren't any main tasks to complete, and Angela was not by his side, so Victor could only see these cowards crying and howling. 

At the beginning, Victor was still a little excited, but now he felt bored and needed to play a more exciting game.

CHAPTER 636 WEAPONS USED TO DEAL WITH EDWIN CARTER

Thinking of the expression on Edwin Carter's face, like he had him under control, Victor James was very angry.  

However, he could only endure it because Edwin was his nephew. 

"Anyway, I think my cold brother changed because he met my sister-in-law..." Angela was still holding Victor closely. "But it doesn't matter, I'm just relieved that they didn't really divorce each other." 

"Angela, when did you start to worry like your mother?" Angela was definitely not such a sensible person in Victor's eyes. 

"Get out!" Angela kicked him and shouted, "I still have to shoot one more scene today. I have to go now."

As soon as she took a step, Victor pulled her back. He looked at her with looks that were so endearing, she had never seen this before Angela's heart beat faster uncontrollably.

Damn it! He knew how much she loved him! When he looked at her with this kind of look, she couldn't wait to throw herself at him, so how could she still be in the mood for filming? 

Angela tried to suppress her desire, but the temperature on her cheeks was rising. She was hoping that Victor could just quickly "do it", so she could still go back to filming after. 

"Angela, take a day off and let's get a marriage certificate together." After some silence, Victor finally spoke up. 

"Victor, are you asking me to marry you?" 

The man wanted her to marry him with just a few words. He could dream on... 

But, Angela really wanted to say yes. To dote on him and be his legal wife... 

Wasn't that what she had been looking forward to? 

Now that Victor finally mentioned it, what reason did she have to reject him? 

Of course, she could not find any reason to reject him, so she wanted to accept his proposal. 

"I." Angela finally replied but she was interrupted, "I'm just joking. Don't take it seriously!" 

"Shit!" Angela kicked his groin. Her good mood was ruined by this bastard. 

Victor leaned over slightly and dodged Angela's attack. He took advantage of the opportunity to hold her in his arms and then kissed her wildly. 

Angela opened her eyes wide and she was groaning with dissatisfaction. She really wanted to bite the bastard to death. 

In B City, at the Star Entertainment Club A middle-aged man entered through the door. Without a waiter leading the way, he walked towards a VIP room with the name Bright Stars Entertainment written above the door. 

He raised his head and glanced at the door. Without knocking at the door, he just opened the door and walked in.

"Young master, our plan to take Jane away from Jiangbei has failed." 

Ed Yates looked at the man with a sinister expression on his face. "What did you say?" 

The middle-aged man hurriedly explained, "Everything went as you expected. Jane and Edwin got divorced, and he sent her and their daughter away. We also sent people to follow their car according to your arrangement, and attracted Edwin's attention. Everything was going according to our plan, but.." 

Halfway through his words, the middle-aged man raised his head and glanced at Yates. Seeing Ed  Yates' gloomy face, he did not dare to continue. 

"But what?" Ed Yates's expression and voice were much calmer. There was still plenty of time. There was no winner in this game yet.

However, he knew that the chances of winning were lower if he was impatient, so he had to calm down. He couldn't let himself get in a mess before the enemy even struck him. 

The middle-aged man continued, "But we didn't expect Victor to go to the airport and ordered a special force to ambush at the airport. Our men were captured as soon as we wanted to take action. Jane and the others have successfully boarded the plane and flew to New York." 

"Victor brought his special forces with him to capture our men?"

Ed sneered. "It seems that Jane is much more important to Edwin than I thought."

As his subordinate said, the rest was under his control. However, he did not expect that Edwin would enlist Victor's help. 

Moreover, Victor consented to send a special force over. In the military field, everyone knew that the offensive ability of Victor from the Jiangbei Military was the strongest around. 

He never thought that Edwin would protect a woman with such a highly skilled special force. 

It was beyond their expectation, so it could prove that Jane meant much more to Edwin than they thought. 

Ed was once again certain that Jane was his most important weapon against Edwin. He had to obtain her at all costs. 

Seeing that Ed had calmed down a lot, the middle-aged man continued, "Young Master, we failed to stop them at the Jiangbei Airport. I've already asked the people from New York to get ready." 

"Shengtian's base is in America. Although their headquarters has moved to Jiangbei, and the Carter family has also returned to Jiangbei to settle down, don't forget that they're also rather powerful in the United States." 

This was the reason why Ed wanted people to stop Jane here, before she could board the plane to the United States, even though he knew that

Jiangbei houses both the Carter and James family. 

He knew that it was as difficult to capture Jane in both Jiangbei and New York. However, it was better to take her away in front of Edwin's eyes, which could be regarded as a painful lesson for Edwin. 

Once Jane arrives in New York, the Carter family will be influential as well. It would not be easy for Ed to snatch her away. 

"Young master, don't worry. We have chosen the most capable men over there. Without the protection of the army from Victor, Edwin probably would not expect that we would attack them again, so we could catch them off guard." The man assured. 

"Catch him off guard?" Ed interrupted the middle-aged man and said angrily, "Do you think that Edwin's brain is as simple as yours?" 

The middle-aged man said, "Young Master, I." 

Ed continued, "In Jiangbei, Edwin had asked Victor to send them off with his men. He certainly will be prepared in the United States as well." 

"I was wrong, sir. I'm going to send some people to stop Edwin's men before they pick Jane up at the airport in New York." 

The man apologized and thought of a solution quickly. 

"Tell everything clearly in one go. Next, we need to be fully prepared to deal with Edwin. That man is too hard to deal with." Ed spoke sternly. 

Things didn't go as he expected and it had caused him plenty of headaches. But at least he won in the first round. 

Edwin did not allow him to leave Jiangbei, but he had left easily. He was now in B City, where the Yates family had its stronghold..

CHAPTER 637 HE ARRANGED  EVERYTHING FOR HER

After a 16-hour flight, the plane landed at JFK Airport safely. 

It was 3:30 p.m. in New York, The weather in New York was much colder than in Jiangbei.

Jane Ronan shivered the moment the cold air hit her. However, instead of taking care of herself, she quickly fastened Janell's thick jacket tighter and adjusted Andrew's hat. 

"Andrew, Janell, this place is much colder than Jiangbei. We must be careful not to catch a cold. Also, we are not familiar with this place. Later on, both of you must hold my hand." 

"Mom, I will be obedient and take good care of my brother too. I won't run around." As she saw that Andrew wanted to speak up, Janell spoke immediately before he could. 

After that, she also gave Andrew a proud look, it was like she wanted to say, "I am my mother's precious baby. You can't compete with me."

Andrew opened his mouth but didn't say anything. Anyway, his sister had said all the nice words before he could. 

Jane touched their heads and said, "Well, both of you are great kids. Let's go pick up our luggage with uncle." 

To tell the truth, Jane didn't know what was in their luggage. Edwin probably asked someone to pack all her things up.

Even if she had forgotten something, Edwin would definitely remove it from the house.

Robert then said, "Jane, I'll go get the luggage and pick Mia up. You can wait for me at Exit A with the children." 

Jane nodded, "That's good." 

Andrew and Janell could not help with anything and they still needed someone to take care of them. 

Jane needed to look after them, so it was more convenient for Robert to goalone. 

"Mom, I need to go to the toilet." Janell looked at her mother and spoke gently. 

"Brother, I'll take Janell to the washroom. You keep an eye on Andrew."

After handing Andrew to Robert, Jane took Janell to the nearest washroom. 

The washroom was close to the baggage reclaim area, so there were a lot of people waiting in line to use the washroom. 

Jane and Janell were last in the line. At this time, two more people came up and stood closely behind them. 

Because the people behind her were too close to her, Jane took two small steps forward with Janell. 

As soon as she moved, the people behind her moved closely behind her again. People queuing up would typically keep some distance between themselves. 

Jane felt strange that the woman stood closely behind her. She looked back at the woman, but found nothing out of the ordinary.

However, at the moment when Jane turned around, a sharp blade suddenly appeared in the woman's hand, as if it were a magic trick. 

The woman's hand quietly reached out to Jane, trying to subdue her. 

Unexpectedly, the man behind her moved faster and pointed a gun at the woman's waist. 

"Damn it!" She cursed in a low voice. As soon as she found her target, she was already caught by the enemy. 

The man pressed the gun against her, and the woman no longer dared to act rashly. 

The man with the gun whispered, "Come with me, or you'll have to bear the consequences." 

The woman looked at Jane reluctantly, but there was nothing she could do. 

Soon, the man with the gun took away the person who wanted to seize Jane. Before she left, she gave a look to the people behind Jane, indicating that she would leave with the enemy first and they could continue protecting their madam.

There were enemies in the washroom, and also in the baggage reclaim area. Wherever Jane and the others went, there were enemies. 

However, these enemies were taken away before they could even touch Jane. 

So,Jane and the others did not know that a lot of things had actually happened from the moment they got off the plane and waited for their luggage to arrive. Everything had seemed peaceful to them. 

Of course,she would never know that it was Edwin who arranged for these for her. 

Only after they walked out of the airport did they realize how cold it was. The rain was drizzling and the wind was howling. 

It was as if they had reached another world in an instant. Jane said while helping Janell to wear a hat, "Brother, I heard that New York is cold, but I didn't expect it to be so cold. It seems to be colder than Kyoto." 

"You have been in Jiangbei for too long and are used to the weather there." 

Robert put Mia in Janell's arms and said, "I'm in charge of the luggage, and you're responsible for looking after the two children and Mia." 

"Okay." Jane nodded and looked around. "Let's find a hotel to stay. We can't freeze the children." 

Jane felt that she had to familiarize with the environment first and inquire about the neighbourhood before she could decide on a place to stay. 

Robert dragged two big luggage and walked behind Jane and the two children. "I spent a few years in this city when I was in college, so I'm relatively familiar with it. Let's find a hotel first. I'll help survey for places to rent, and I can also ask my old classmates for some help." 

"Mr. Michael, Miss Ronan, I am the driver assigned to take you to your accommodations." Just as they were worried about getting a taxi in this weather, a driver came up to them. 

"Sorry, we didn't call for a taxi." They had just arrived at this place and barely made any arrangements. Jane thought that it would be better to keep their guards high. 

The driver said, "Miss Ronan, I was arranged by Mr. Barnes, who also arranged for your accommodation. If you don't believe me, you can call him to check." 

"Which Mr. Barnes?" Jane did not remember anyone named Barnes. 

The driver responded, "Chairman Edwin's special assistant, Mr. Hal Barnes." 

Jane knew who he was immediately. Edwin's special assistant had always been so efficient. 

However, she still shook her head and said, "Thank you. We don't need your services." 

She still had some savings, and with her reputation in the design industry, she would be able to get a stable job. 

She could raise her children by herself, so she didn't need Edwin's help. 

Since they were divorced, they should cut each other off and no longer have any contact. This would be better for them all. 

"Get in the car first. What's wrong with accepting Edwin's help? You're taking three children with you. Shouldn't he help you a little?"

Robert picked Janell up and continued, "If you don't get in the car, the children will get cold." Jane had no choice but to get in the car. 

After being in the car for some time, Robert was still nagging, "You requested for this divorce, and you didn't ask for a single penny from Edwin. I guess he's also feeling very sorry for that and wants to compensate you. He's a rich man, and there's no reason for him to not help you. If you don't accept it, he would still send help and support your way anyway. Then matters might get messier.".

CHAPTER 638 BIG BOSS MAKES YOU SLIP UP

"In fact, if you want to really let go of a person, you should treat him like an ordinary acquaintance, you don't need to reject everything he sends your way." 

"Jane, you and Edwin have been married for a few years now, but you didn't spend much time with him. Perhaps no one else can see his feelings for you clearly. What Angela said to you today was true. In the three years when you were missing, without Janell, he might not have been able to hold on." 

"Later, you came back, but you didn't remember him. I also saw how sad he was. Now I have regained my senses and my thoughts are clear. I admit I had been confused for a while after our father was murdered, and even dragged you into that mess, it was my mistake." 

Robert had spoken a lot at a go. Jane thought sarcastically that he should have been a motivational speaker, and not a psychologist. 

Why didn't she know that he was so good at speaking? 

In fact, Jane had always firmly believed that Edwin would not be the murderer behind her father's violent death. 

When they quarrelled that day, she was just so angry that she accused him. When Edwin admitted to her claims angrily, she regretted her words. 

However, the damage was done. After that, Jane had stopped listening to Robert. She thought about what Robert had just said. 

If she could really let go of her feelings for him, she could treat him like an ordinary acquaintance when they met again. 

The mere mention of his name had caused her heart to ache so much that she could hardly breathe. 

In this life, how could ever she treat Edwin like an ordinary acquaintance? 

"I miss Daddy" Janell muttered in her sleep when Jane was lost in thought. She had only been away from her father for less than 24 hours. 

The little girl was talking in her sleep already and called for her father, which made Jane sad. 

She lowered her head and kissed Janell. "Baby, I will love you as much as Daddy loves you." 

No matter what life would be like in the future, Jane was a little confused on the road ahead, but it didn't matter. As long as her precious ones were with her, she would be able to hold on. 

They arrived at their destination after nearly an hour's drive. The bungalows in front of them looked luxurious and they were surrounded by pleasant surrounding landscapes. 

The cars that they passed looked very expensive too. Jane asked Robert, "Brother, where are we? It looks very expensive here." 

Robert said, "Edwin's gift wouldn't be too cheap." That was his brief yet accurate answer. 

Robert was right, Edwin's gift wouldn't be too cheap. Besides, this was the place where his "former wife" and their children would live from now on. 

Edwin had restrained himself by not arranging for a huge villa for them. 

"Bitch, I didn't sleep for a whole night, and now you're finally here."

A familiar voice ranged in the air. Karen looked up and saw a pregnant Laura Ferdinand running towards her. 

"Laura, why are you here? Slow down." Jane was so worried at the speed that Laura was moving.

No wonder John Alex didn't want her to go out alone. With Laura's recklessness, she would cause havoc if she went out alone. 

"Why can't I be here?" Laura ran over and gave Jane a big hug. "Bitch, you're getting more and more annoying. You didn't tell me that you were coming to America. If John Alex hadn't heard the news from Hal, I wouldn't have known that you are in New York."

Laura knew that Jane had come to New York because when John and Hal were chatting on the phone, she heard Hal spill the beans and so she asked more about it.

In fact, if they thought about it carefully, they would understand that this matter was definitely not as simple as a slip of the tongue. 

Hal Barnes was chosen as Edwin's special assistant. Part of his job was to keep secrets! 

Therefore, the reason why he had a slip of tongue was definitely because Edwin ordered him to share the news with Laura inconspicuously Jane was coming to America, and Laura happened to be in America too. 

If he didn't tell Laura, who else could Barnes share the news with? 

"I was in such a hurry that I didn't have time to inform you." Jane was really happy to see her best friend in an unfamiliar place. 

The fatigue of travelling for so many hours, and the pain from the divorce were temporarily forgotten. 

"Laura, it's been a while," Robert greeted politely. 

"Robert, yes, it's been a while." Laura greeted him with a smile and then looked at Andrew, who was standing beside Jane. 

"This must be Andrew, right? What a lovely child." 

"Thank you, Aunt Laura!" No one had introduced Laura to Andrew, but he was very observant. He just heard his mother call her name out, so he addressed her respectfully. 

"So adorable!" Laura smiled. "I didn't prepare a gift for you today. I'll make it up to you some other day." 

"Aunt Laura, don't you recognize me?" Her Aunt Laura had spoken to Andrew first, so Janell demanded for attention bitterly. 

"How could I not recognize you? You are so important to me, so how could I forget you?" 

As she spoke, Laura picked Janell up immediately, and frightened Jane with her actions! 

"Laura, Janell is too heavy. Don't hold her in your arms. Be careful with your baby." Jane was so worried that she broke out in a cold sweat. 

"The baby is fine. It's okay!" Laura was at ease. 

Jane once again understood how tired and worried John was. Laura really didn't regard pregnancy as a big deal. How could he not worry about her? 

"Janell, we haven't seen each other for months. You got prettier." Laura pinched Janell's face again. "Oh my god, what should I do?" 

Janell became more and more adorable, and Laura liked her so much so that she wanted to make Janell her daughter-in-law. 

However, her son had not even been born yet. "Aunt Laura, I eat well every day, so I grew prettier." Janell was happy to receive praises. 

Laura wanted to ask more questions, but she realized that everyone was still standing outside the house, so she ushered everyone in, "Let's not stand outside. Let's head inside to catch up. Jane, I've checked out the house. The cleaner is very diligent, so this house is much cleaner than mine. I believe you will be satisfied when you see it.".
