CHAPTERS 707 - 710
CHAPTER 707
"Little Aunt, I miss you so much." Janell plunged into Angela's arms and rubbed her little head against her body.
"I miss you too." Angela just arrived last night. When Angela got up today, she was busy greeting the guests. She had not seen Janell yet.
Lucas's fiery eyes stared at Janell quietly. They had not seen each other for half a year. Did she not remember him anymore?
As he thought about how the little fellow didn't remember him anymore, Lucas looked disappointed and there was pain on his face. After all, Janell was still so young.
When he left, she had just passed her four-year-old birthday. It was normal that she did not remember him. He did not expect her to remember him. He just wanted to look at her secretly and knew that she was happy and healthy.
However, he wanted more. If he really thought so simply, he would not have come to this place at such a tense time back in his country. He wanted to hear the little fellow call him "Brother Lucas" softly.
He wanted to hold the little fellow in his arms and kiss her pink face. He would tell her that she must come to him when she grew up.
However, she could not recognize him. Janell could not recognize him with the heavy makeup and disguise, even an adult like Angela could not recognize him. This was what he wanted.
But at this moment, he hoped that he was not covered in makeup. Maybe when the little fellow saw him, she could recognize him at a glance. If he was not wearing such heavy makeup and disguise, could Janell recognize him at a glance?
Before he saw her, he was very confident that she would recognize him nonetheless, but at this moment, he was not sure at all.
Compared with the last time he saw Janell in Jiangbei last year, she was much taller. However, she still looked the same. Her eyes were clear and bright, with the innocence and cuteness of a child.
Even if a heinous person saw her, he would want to be good to her. She was such a sweet child. She was innocent, lovely, sensible, and that face of hers would definitely melt anyone's heart immediately.
It took Angela a lot of effort to pick Janell up. "Our baby Janell is getting taller, and I can't hold you anymore."
"Little Aunt, I can walk by myself."
Mom and grandma were not able to hold her up anymore, but fortunately, she had her father, grandpa, and uncle. They could still hold her up.
If Brother Lucas was still alive, he should be able to carry her. In her heart, Brother Lucas was a hero who could be comparable with her father.
"I want to hold you." Although Angela couldn't carry her anymore, Angela still wanted to try as she loved her very much.
"I like you, Little Aunt." Janell complimented her aunt and showered her with kisses, which further made Angela's heart flutter.
"Janell, why don't you go back to the hotel with me?" Angela was depressed, but when she saw Janell, she put her worries aside and was so happy to spend time with her.
"Okay." Janell nodded adorably.
Seeing that they were about to leave, Mr. Paul was anxious. The purpose of their visit this time was to see the gem of the Carter family. Actually, it was his master's purpose. Their master, the Third Prince, wanted to see this little girl badly.
Mr. Paul didn't expect that he could meet Janell as soon as he arrived at the destination. If he let them go like this, he would suffer a lot later. At this time, Mr. Paul's diplomatic wisdom that he gained in his life could be put to good use.
He smiled and said, "Miss Carter, this little girl must be Chairman Carter's daughter. She's so cute. I'm so happy whenever I see her."
He knew to get close to someone, he needed to praise the kid. However, what he said was not a lie. The child was indeed adorable. Otherwise, his master would not have changed his identity and visit the little fellow when the situation in his country was so dangerous.
At the mention of Janell, Angela hugged her tightly and looked at him with a vigilant face. "Mr. Paul, don't even think about Janell."
Tomorrow was the day of Edwin and Jane's wedding. If anything happened to Janell, the wedding would be prepared in vain. Therefore, when Edwin and Jane were not with the two children, they entrusted them to Robert to look after them.
"Angela, even if I have the guts, I would not be brave enough to mess around." Mr. Paul said. Poor him, he was just carrying out orders.
"I suppose you don't have the guts then." Angela had been acquainted with Mr. Paul before. This man was a little self righteous and shameless, but he has not harmed anyone before. She added, "If there's nothing else, then I will go first. We'll talk tomorrow."
Mr. Paul added, "Miss Carter, why don't you take the child with you and we can have dinner together?" If he could succeed in this matter, his master would reward him well.
In the future, when his master had gotten the throne, his life would be better. However, Angela's words shattered his dream.
Angela glanced at him and said, "If you want to have dinner with us, get in line. After a few years, it might be your turn." After that, she got into Robert's buggy and swaggered off.
"She is still so arrogant, yet so lovely." Mr. Paul looked at Angela's back and commented, "Unfortunately, Victor got a hold of her."
As he spoke, he felt a chill on his back and shivered all of a sudden The weather was very good today. The sun was shining and the weather was beautiful. Why did he feel cold suddenly?
"Is the weather changing?" Mr. Paul thought. When he looked back, he understood why he felt the chills. His master was looking at him with dissatisfaction, and his eyes looked like he wanted to swallow him alive.
"Third Young Master, that, I..." Damn it, how could he forget his master's purpose? He was flirting with Angela. Obviously his master would be angry.
Mr. Paul hurriedly defended himself, "Third Young Master, we just arrived here and saw the daughter of Chairman Carter already. We're so lucky."
Lucas didn't say anything. He looked at Janell, who was already far away. He didn't look away until she completely disappeared in sight.
Mr. Paul wiped off his cold sweat and said, "Third Young Master, don't worry. We will definitely be able to sneak into tomorrow's wedding.".
CHAPTER 708
Lucas shot a cold glance at Paul, then turned around and left. Paul followed him immediately and said, "Third Young Master, besides sneaking in, I will definitely try to have you meet that girl. I promise."
If his master could not see the child tomorrow, he could just forget about his job and his life.
"What a tragedy!" He thought to himself. After all, he came from a very powerful family. His father was a senior official in the government, and he was a very famous diplomat.
Why did he become someone's little assistant and had no power of his own? Little assistant? Paul felt uncomfortable with that label.
"No, no, I am Master Paul. How can I become someone's little assistant? What did I do wrong? What did I do wrong?" Paul looked like he was about to cry.
He worked so hard. Not only did he not get any appreciation from his master, but he almost lost his life.
"Ouch!" As he was immersed in his own thoughts, he did not see that Lucas suddenly stopped in front of him and he bumped into Lucas. "Oh God. I've literally stepped on his toes this time!" Paul thought anxiously.
"Paul, are you unhappy and unwilling to work with me?" Lucas raised his eyebrows and stared at Paul fiercely, who was in pain.
"Third Young Master, how can you think so? You are my superior. I'm willing to work for you." Paul answered quickly.
"You may also be our future president," he thought to himself. As a diplomat, being eloquent was his greatest skill.
"We'll go to the wedding tomorrow and act according to the circumstances. We can't mess around." Lucas gave an order solemnly.
First of all, his identity must not be exposed, so he must avoid everyone to see Janell. Second, he could not scare Janell away. This was the most important thing.
…
Guests and invited reporters arrived at the wedding venue already. Everyone was waiting to witness tomorrow's wedding of the century. However, Jane, one of the main stars of the event, still had no idea about what's going on.
At this time, she was strolling along the beach with Edwin, watching and listening to the ocean waves.
"Mr. Carter, I beg you. Please let me take off my shoes and walk."
Jane was on the beach, but she couldn't go into the sea. Edwin did not allow her to enter the sea due to her poor health. She could only watch others play near the sea.
As he heard Jane's plea, he didn't reject her unreasonably. He rubbed her head and said, "Do you really want to go?"
"Mmmmm.." Jane nodded repeatedly, and leaned against Edwin lovingly. "You are.the most reasonable person. You will definitely satisfy my request."
"Okay." Edwin agreed immediately.
"Really?!" Jane was so excited that she almost cheered.
She did not believe that Edwin, who was so persistent earlier, would agree to her plea now. His permission could make her excited like a child.
Edwin's heart melted. He smiled and said, "Take off your shoes."
Jane took off her shoes in a flash as she was worried that Edwin might pull back on his words soon. She took his hand and gave him a bright smile.
"Edwin, let's go."
However, Edwin threw her hand away and took a small step forward. He squatted down and said, "Come up."
Jane did not understand. "What are you doing?"
He said, "I'll carry you."
He was still worried about her being in the sea water, but he couldn't bear to see her disappointed, so he thought that carrying her into the sea was a good idea.
"No need." Jane looked around and found that there were many people on the beach, and they were followed by a lot of bodyguards. She was embarrassed.
"Your husband is carrying you. What's there to be embarrassed about?" He knew what she was thinking about at a glance.
"You're not."
They had divorced before. So technically, they were not legally married. Thinking of what she had done a few months ago, which ended up hurting him tremendously, Jane began to feel uncomfortable again.
"I'm not?" Edwin did not understand what she wanted to say.
"We're still divorced." Jane lowered her head and said softly. She was so nervous that her fingers twisted around the corner of her clothes.
"Idiot!" Sometimes, this silly woman was really stupid. She couldn't even differentiate the fake divorce certificate from the real one. She was so gullible.
"I'm sorry!" She knew how stupid her action was. She was threatened by others, and thought that he could not protect himself, so she did such a stupid thing.
Seeing the remorse on her face, Edwin took her into his arms and kissed her forehead.
"Fool, you are my wife. This never changed." Jane had a confused look on her face.
Edwin pinched her face and said, "The man who processed our divorce is one of my men. The divorce certificate is a fake. We're still legally married."
Jane was surprised and happy, but gradually, she felt even worse. It turned out that Edwin had done so many things to protect their marriage. However, in the beginning, she thought he did not care about their marriage, that was why he agreed to the divorce request so quickly.
"Come up." Edwin crouched down again.
"Okay." Jane climbed onto his back with her face gently pressed against his back. Her heart was beating very fast.
"Put your arms around my neck," Edwin said.
"Okay." Jane did as she was told obediently.
Edwin was much taller than her. After Jane got up his back, she felt that her vision suddenly widened and she could see farther.
Edwin carried her on his back as easily as carrying a child. He walked steadily, so she was not afraid at all. She went close to his ears, "Sweet Mr. Carter, thank you!"
Edwin said, "If you really want to thank me, just listen to me and take care of yourself."
"Yes, sir!" She smiled, and her smile was as bright as the sun, but he couldn't see it.
"Her husband is so nice to her. Look at you, it's hard to get you to even walk with me. A passer-by commented.
"If you're as good-looking as her, I'm also willing to do it." The man replied.
"If I am so good-looking, the person standing beside me would not be you, but." The woman looked at Edwin adoringly. "If I ever meet such a handsome and considerate husband in my life, I could just die a happy death."
When they walked past a couple, Jane heard their conversation. No matter where Edwin went, even if others didn't know his identity, he could always attract others' attention. He was that attractive.
In addition to his good looks, he looked elegant and kind. How could others not like him? But the man who was so good-looking and generous only belonged to her. He belonged with her, and she belonged with him!.
CHAPTER 709
Jane tightened her hands around Edwin Carter's neck, as if she wanted to swear her sovereignty to those who coveted Edwin.
She wanted to tell everyone that this man already had a wife so they needed to back off. Edwin knew what Jane was doing. He was also smiling so brightly that he looked extremely charming.
It turned out that your mood would change according to your lover's mood. When she was happy, he felt that the whole world was so beautiful. When she was upset, he would feel that the world was dark.
His mood now depended on another's feelings. In the past, he was never like this as he found it important to hold himself well. But now, he liked it very much. It was just because the other party was his beloved wife!
"Edwin, how do you feel when you hear other women talking about you?" Sometimes, Jane really wanted to go into Edwin's mind to see if he was as calm as he looked.
"Is someone talking about me?" Edwin really did not care about what others said. He only cared about the woman on his back.
"Edwin, I'm sure you heard it. Or are you trying to make me happy?" Jane asked with a smile.
It did not matter if he heard or did not hear others discussion, this answer made Jane happier, and she smiled so widely that it seemed like she had picked up a priceless treasure.
"Surely he must have been too busy thinking about me to mind others?" Jane thought.
The sun shone brightly, but because the wind was cold, the sea felt a little cold too. Edwin was glad that he did not let Jane get into the water. Otherwise, she would catch a cold.
Edwin walked forward slowly. It seemed that he intended to carry her on his back and walk on forever.
"Edwin, I really want to go down and take a walk on my own." Jane leaned on Edwin's back and rubbed against him like a kitten. She hoped that her husband could let her be willful for once.
"No way!" Edwin refused again.
"But I really want to walk by myself." She leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek. She even used the honey trap.
"No way!" This time, Edwin refused without any hesitation and directly cut off Jane's hope.
"What a bully!" Jane murmured.
"When this man is a domineering bully, there is really no room for negotiation at all. But he looks quite attractive in this way." Jane thought to herself.
"When the weather is better and you are feeling better, let's come here again for a walk." Edwin added. He couldn't bear to see Karen's disappointment.
"Are we staying here for a long time?" The trip needed to be short as Edwin still had a lot of things to do back home.
Jane thought that they would leave in a few days. This was the place she had been wishing to visit for a long time, but she had been at the hotel since they arrived. It was not easy for Jane to come out and take a walk today, but Edwin had many restrictions. He was like a mother. When did Chairman Carter become like this?
"We can stay here for a few months and go back when summer comes." Edwin said.
Edwin thought that they could have their honeymoon here. Janell and Andrew would go back with his family first, so that they can enjoy each other's company for a longer time.
"Aren't you busy with your work? I still have to do my work." Jane liked the work in New York very much. She could arrange her time freely, as long as she could hand in her work before the deadline.
"Just listen to me." Edwin acted like an overbearing and dominant boss.
"Well, it's up to you. You have the final say." After all, he was her husband. If she didn't listen to him, who else could she listen to in this life?
At night, Edwin lay on the bed and kept tossing and turning around. He couldn't fall asleep. When he thought of the upcoming wedding, he was more excited than he was many years ago when he went to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Jane to get their marriage certificate.
They were getting married the next day. The guests, reporters, and all kinds of relevant people had arrived. Everything was ready.
He could announce to the world that his wife was Jane Ronan! Edwin's heart was surging like a young boy who had just fallen in love. The more he thought about it, the more awake he became.
He couldn't fall asleep, and Jane couldn't fall asleep too. She lay on his chest and murmured, "Edwin, what's the matter?"
She could see that there was something concerning in his heart, and he was absent-minded when they had dinner earlier. She just didn't know what he was thinking about.
"What do you think?" Edwin stroked her back gently, as if he was comforting a child.
"I don't know, that's why I asked you." Jane raised her head and rolled her eyes at him. "You told me that no matter what happened, you must share it and you are not allowed to hide it from the other party. I did it, and you have to do it too."
Edwin said gently. "I can't tell you about this for the time being. You will know tomorrow."
Jane asked, "What is it?"
Edwin pretended to be mysterious and said, "It's something good."
"Why can't you tell me now?" Hearing his words, Jane became more curious. She was sleepy, and now she was very awake.
"It's a secret!" Edwin lowered his head and kissed her, trying to stop her from asking endless questions.
Jane wasn't having it. She dodged his kiss and pouted, "If you don't tell me, I won't let you touch me." Her tone was somewhat willful and a little silly, which was something that she had never shown to Edwin before.
Jane had always hid everything from Edwin. She was the kind of person who bore everything alone and was never willing to share her pain. Her little attitude now made her look more adorable and vulnerable at the same time.
Like a happy husband, happy wife. Kevin wanted to tease her badly. He pulled her over and let her lie on top of him.
He smiled and said, "You really don't want me to touch you?"
"Bastard!" She scolded him in a low voice, but she didn't want to escape again.
Edwin pressed her head so they could kiss. Their lips touched, and there were sparks. The kiss lasted for a long time.
When Edwin let go of Jane, her mind went blank and she was short of breath for a long time. "Well, let's go to sleep."
Looking at her silly look, Edwin laughed silently and thought. "This silly girl, how can she be so attractive?"
In a typical relationship, after two people had been married for so many years and their children had grown up, he should have less desire for her. But he didn't know why she could still pull his heartstrings so easily.
He looked like a silly man who was blindly in love and oblivious towards his surroundings..
CHAPTER 710
On the 20th of May. There was nothing special about this date, but it was the wedding day of Edwin Carter and Jane Ronan. Edwin chose this date because the weather was perfect; it was lovely and calm, just like their love.
Edwin was not one to be particular about dates, he would even forget to celebrate Valentine's day in the past. But now that he was with Jane, he wanted to pick a very special day to celebrate their love.
As for Jane, she was not so fussed about dates either, but every day she spent with Edwin was worth celebrating to her.
Early in the morning, Jane woke up amongst the fragrance of fresh roses. When she opened her eyes and saw that the whole room was filled with roses, she couldn't believe her eyes.
"You're awake!" Edwin said. She didn't see Edwin, but she heard his voice. He didn't sit by the window and read the newspaper, but he walked over to her from the antechamber.
"What are you doing?" Jane asked. What day was it today? When did he put the roses in the room? Did he want her to be a flower fairy?
"Do you like it?" Edwin walked over and kissed her on her head.
"Mm." Jane nodded.
"What do you mean?" Edwin asked with a smile.
"Well, I like it," Jane replied with a blushing face. She didn't know why, but when she looked at Edwin's passionate eyes, her heart was beating like thunder.
"Do you like the flowers or me?" Edwin asked.
The flowers were prepared by him, yet he seemed to be jealous of the flowers.
"I like the flowers." Jane teased him deliberately.
Sure enough, she saw that Edwin's face turned gloomy, it seemed that he was not very satisfied with the answer. She added, "Because the flowers were prepared by you."
Every woman would like beautiful flowers, but compared to the flowers, she would definitely appreciate the person behind them more instead.
Edwin was satisfied with Jane's additional answer. He smiled and said, "Get up and get dressed. There's something important to do later."
"What's the matter?" As soon as she woke up, she almost forgot what happened last night. When Edwin mentioned it, her curiosity was aroused again.
"Well, hurry up!" Edwin said.
"No, I still want to lie down for a while." The room was full of flowers. She was reluctant to leave, as she felt like a flower fairy surrounded by flowers.
"Do as I say. You can stay in bed tomorrow." Edwin assured gently.
"What on earth is it?" Jane asked again. In the past, he would never urge her to get up. No matter how late she slept in, he would wait for her.
"Be good, and don't ask anymore." Edwin spoke firmly.
"Alright."
Jane did not get the answer she wanted and went to the bathroom to freshen up. When she came out, Edwin had prepared her outfit for her. It seemed that he wanted to help her change into her clothes.
Although they were husband and wife and they had seen each other naked many times, Jane still blushed at the thought of him helping her get dressed.
She took the clothes from Edwin's hands and immediately went into the changing room. When she changed her clothes and came out, Edwin had already asked someone to send breakfast to their room.
He said, "You will be more tired today. Eat more."
"Where are Janell and Andrew? I'll ask them to join us for breakfast." Jane looked at the other two rooms. She didn't know if the two children were awake.
"Robert took them out to have fun." Edwin set the table up and took a bite of the food. When he thought that the food tasted well, he served a plate of food for Jane.
"The pastries look good." Jane took a big bite. She nodded and praised happily. "It's really delicious."
"Yeah, it's good." Edwin took a piece of tissue and wiped her mouth. He watched the restaurant staff as they prepared the food, so he knew that Jane would definitely enjoy it too.
"You should eat too." Jane ate quickly and noticed that Edwin did not eat anything.
"I've eaten some." In fact, he didn't eat anything, but he was so excited that he lost his appetite.
He had always been calm. When he took over Shengtian and held the first shareholders meeting, he was calm. However, this wedding that he had been looking forward to for a long time gave him too many feelings that he had never experienced before in his life.
"I'm full" Jane commented after eating a bit more. When she got up from the coma, she ate little but frequent meals, so she couldn't eat much for breakfast.
Anyway, Edwin wouldn't let her starve. As long as she was hungry, she could eat what she wanted at any time.
"Well, then come with me." Edwin stood up and stretched out his hand to Jane.
"Okay." This time, Jane did not ask him where they were going, but she held his hand firmly. Wherever he took her, she would go.
They came out of the hotel and got into a buggy that was waiting for them. After about half an hour later, they arrived at a very cosy red building.
"Beautiful."
Jane sighed from the bottom of her heart. There were all kinds of flowers and plants in the courtyard of the two-storey wooden building. There were birds singing, and the view of the building and the courtyard looked as beautiful as a painting.
"Mr. and Mrs. Carter, welcome." A very well dressed woman greeted them with a smile.
"Nice to meet you! Thanks for today" Edwin greeted and nodded politely.
"Hello!" Jane nodded and greeted her with a smile.
"Mr. and Mrs. Carter, please follow me."
The woman graciously invited them into the building as she led the way. Edwin held Jane's hand and entered the yard. After walking through a path paved with pebbles, they entered the building,
Inside the building, it looked different from what they saw outside. When she admired the building from outside, Jane thought it was a private house.
After all, the cosy design made it look perfect to be a house. After entering the building, she saw a small wooden tablet hanging at the door. Then, she realized that this was a beauty studio.
Being able to work in such a lovely environment, the staff must have been happy. She thought that the customers would be very happy too. It was a really pretty place.
"Our dressing room is upstairs." The woman smiled and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Carter, you may head upstairs."
"What are we going to do?" While Jane was still confused, she followed Edwin to the dressing room on the second floor.
"Mr. and Mrs. Carter, welcome."
A group of people spoke out at the same time. Jane glanced at them and found that there were about a dozen of staff who seemed to be waiting for them here.
Edwin's eyes swept across these people and said, "It's time to start."
Jane was confused. "Edwin, what on earth are you doing?"
Edwin smiled calmly at her as he said, "You will know in a while."
Then, one of the female employees spoke politely to Edwin, "Mr. Carter, according to tradition, you can't be here at this time.".
