CHAPTER 720 

Janell nodded obediently. She did not cry or make any more noise. She acted as if his departure did not bother her at all. Lucas forced himself to look away as he tried to leave. He turned around and took a step forward. 

Behind him, Janell lifted her long hem up and followed him. He had long legs. For every step he took, it would take Janell two or three steps just to keep up with him. Within a few steps later, Lucas couldn't take it any longer. He looked back at Janell, and when he turned around, Janell was still following him like a persistent shadow. 

At this moment, Lucas desperately wished that he could just leave everything behind. He wanted to stay with Janell and watch her grow up; or he could bring Janell with him and take her to his country... 

But he couldn't do any of that. No matter what ideas he had, he couldn't do that. He could not act recklessly. The country was his responsibility. 

Since he promised his mother that he would take up these responsibilities, there was no way for him to quit. 

Janell's identity was also high-profie. Her father would never let anyone take her away. None of these two methods would work. If he took the wrong step at this moment, he would end up in a miserable position. The country could be destroyed! 

"Janell, please don't follow me. The people sent by your daddy will be here soon." Lucas stiffened up and ignored Janell. 

He turned around and continued walking forward. Janell couldn't care less. She lifted the hem of her dress and continued to follow behind Lucas . Every step that Lucas took, she would chase after him with more steps. She kept on chasing him. No matter what, she did not want to stop.

"Janell, you'd have to listen to what I said!" 

Janell kept on following him. Lucas stopped his steps again and turned around to remind her. 

"Brother Lucas, I want to follow you." Janell tried to grab him, but as he took a step forward, she could not hold him at all. 

She knew what Lucas had said to her, but in the meantime, she didn't quite get what he meant... All she knew was that, if she let him go now, it would be a long time before she could see Lucas again. 

As a young girl, she really tried her very best to hold back her tears. But after all, she was still too young, Lucas walked away faster and faster. 

When she finally couldn't catch up with him, she cried desperately. Her cry was so loud it attracted the attention of the people who were looking for her immediately. 

When those guys came over, she wiped her tears and looked over in the direction where Lucas left, but he was nowhere to be found.

Without Lucas, Janell cried even more bitterly. No one was allowed to get close to her. She kept on crying and crying, without saying anything. She only cried less when her parents rushed over to her later. 

Jane hugged Janell tightly, and she kept on kissing and coaxing her. "Baby, why are you so sad? Tell me, what happened?"Jane did not know what had happened, but Edwin knew... 

When he learned that Paul was also on the island, he instantly knew who had taken Janell away. 

Because he knew who had taken Janell away, he figured that person would never hurt her as well. Hence, he wanted to drag Jane away to continue their "wedding night".

Surprisingly, as soon as he mentioned this request, Jane fell out with him immediately. Their child had gone missing, and not only was he calm, he was still thinking about other things. 

Of course, Jane would be angry without knowing what was going on. However, Edwin did not want to explain much to her either, so he had to hold back his desire for Jane temporarily and came out to look for their daughter. 

Janell's tiny little body kept twitching in her mother's arms. She looked so pitiful as if everyone in the world had bullied her. 

"My Janell, please don't cry, please don't cry. We are both here now, and we will never ever leave you." 

Jane blamed herself as she watched Janell cry sadly. She thought the reason Janell was so sad, because her parents had left her as soon as the wedding ended. This little fellow was always more emotionally reactive than other children. It was not strange for her to have such a reaction. 

"Woo..." Janell wiped her tears and snot on her mother's outfit. Without Brother Lucas , she knew she still had her father and mother. 

"Baby, tell me what happened, okay?" Jane kissed away the tears on Janell's face, and checked if there were any injuries on Janell. Jane was relieved to see Janell completely fine. 

Edwin took over Janell and rubbed her head. "Baby, it's alright. We'll go back together and you can't cry anymore." Janell nestled into her father's embrace, and the sound of her crying faded slowly. 

She fell asleep in her father's embrace eventually. When Edwin left with Janell in his arms, Lucas, who had been hiding in the dark, was watching them until they disappeared from his sight. 

"When will I be able to see Janell again?" 

He wished to see her as soon as possible. However, no one could predict what would happen tomorrow. Perhaps, they would see each other very soon, or perhaps, they would never meet again. 

Janell was found, and there was no trace of injury. It was a false alarm, Edwin and Jane brought their child home, and the matter was settled.

The search for Janell was over. And the fight between Victor and Angela, which had been put on hold for the search for Janell, continued. 

Victor glared fiercely at Angela, and Angela also stared at Victor defiantly. No one was willing to give in. 

After a long time, Victor spoke first. He said fiercely, "Come back to Jiangbei with me." With his overpowering tone as if he was commanding his subordinates, Angela became even angrier. 

"What a bastard! Who on earth did he think he was?" Angela was yelling out in her heart. Angela gritted her teeth, turned around and left. 

As soon as she stepped forward, Victor pulled her back and yelled, "Angela, stop before you go too far." He had taken a step back, and let his ego down by many notches. He was definitely running out of patience. 

Angela looked at his hand that was holding her wrist and sneered, "Victor, I'm not fooling around. It's impossible for us to be together." 

Victor was furious, "Have you forgotten that you were the one who had been pursuing me all this while and wanted my hand in marriage. So what now? I've accepted you and now you want to run away? Angela, stop dreaming. If you want to escape, I would break your legs." 

Angela smiled coldly and replied, "I admit that I've been pursuing you all this time, but I have my own dignity too. I don't want a jerk like you.".

CHAPTER 721 

Angela Carter called him a jerk and repeatedly said that she didn't like him. She didn't want him anymore... 

As Victor James looked at her babbling mouth, he walked over to her and pressed his hand against her mouth. He didn't want to hear her speak. 

As soon as Victor touched Angela, his heart trembled, as if his soul connected deeply with her through that touch. Victor and Angela hadn't spent time together for months. He had spent too many painful and sleepless nights alone from missing her. 

Every time he had trouble sleeping, he could only see her virtually, and used her voice over the phone to relieve his pain of missing her, just by a little. But he was a man after all, plus he was also a captain in the Jiangbei Military Region. He knew how to restrain his desire. Therefore, he had to restrain himself over and over again, hold himself together and wait for Angela's return. 

When he finally got her back, and just as he was full of joy. Angela dampened his enthusiasm mercilessly. He had missed her for so many months. Yet, she was spreading so much negativity when she met him. 

He became furious and could tear her into pieces that instant. He was worried that if he stayed on any longer, he would really tear her into pieces, so he decided to leave her alone for a while. 

They needed some time and space to calm down. However, without any explanation, she left as well... As a member of the military, it was more diffucult for him to get a visa whenever he wanted to go abroad. 

Yet, when he completed that fussy application and rushed to Santorini as fast as he could, he saw Angela and Aaron Paul together. 

Victor bit Angela out of anger. He injured her tongue, and they could taste blood. "Ouch.." 

Angela punched him again and again and struggled to pull herself away. But as soon as she tried to do so, Victor would press onto her even tighter, restraining her from moving completely. 

His kiss was dominant and fierce. It gradually took Angela's breath away and she stopped struggling. 

Angela stopped struggling. Victor let her go, but as soon as he did so, Angela slapped him real hard and said, " Victor, who do you think I am to you?" 

It had been over half a month since she discovered that Victor had another woman. Yet, Angela had not shed a tear. She kept telling herself that it was alright. Without Victor, she could still lead a good life. It was not worth her time and effort to fall for a bastard who would have an affair behind her back 

However, she knew it was not easy to move on. She had been thinking of marrying Victor since young. After overcoming all the challenges to be in a relationship with him, he had betrayed her. How could she not be heartbroken? 

Nonetheless, she decided to keep all this pain to herself and chose to endure it all alone... Perhaps some day in the future, she would be able to completely forget about this man who had hurt her. For now, she couldn't. 

She really couldn't forget this man. The scene she saw at Jiangbei that day would appear in her mind over and over again just like a movie scene. 

She desperately wished that she could be like before, where she would grab Victor and confront him blatantly. But she did not have the courage. 

Many people would think that she was bold and absolutely fearless. She could go anywhere without fear. However, in the face of this man, she was just a coward. She was afraid to hear Victor's answer. If he admitted, there would be no more hope. She wouldn't even be able to live with the truth. 

She was the one who hit Victor. Yet, she ended up crying, broken down in tears with absolute sadness. In the eyes of Victor, Angela has always been a very strong and bold girl. He had hardly seen Angela in tears throughout all the years he had known her. 

Those tears that were streaming down from Angela's eyes felt like they were poking onto Victor's heart. It was excruciatingly painful! 

He didn't care that she slapped him. Instead, he dragged her into his embrace and gently stroked her back. It was rare for him to sound so soft and humble. 

"Angela, tell me, what happened?" many unfathomable things This girl would not go crazy for no reason. She had done so many unfathomable things all of a sudden. He was sure something must have happened. 

"What happened? How dare you ask me what happened?" Angela was getting even angrier after hearing Victor's question. 

"Victor, did you think it was completely fair to betray your woman behind her back?" 

"Betray? Who the f*ck has been betraying you behind your back?" Victor was not one who would go by trivial rules, but in terms of a relationship, he had always been loyal. 

"You still want to deny it?" If she had known that he wouldn't admit it, she should have taken a video on her phone as a form of evidence so that he couldn't fight back.

The lighting in the room was a bit dim that night, but she could hear the sound very clearly. The sound of the man's heavy breathing and the woman's moaning was a combination that she would never forget. If the man in the room wasn't her man, she would've just sat aside and enjoy the free sex show. 

"What denying?" Victor was losing his cool. "I will admit whatever I've done, but I will not be stupid to take the blame for other people." 

"Taking the blame for other people?" Angela wiped her tears and yelled, "Victor, are you trying to tell me that it was someone else who sneaked into your house that night and made all those noises." 

Victor frowned and asked, "Which night?" 

Angela gritted her teeth and said, "The night before I returned to Jiangbei to meet you." 

Victor had a good memory. He remembered how he was finally able to meet Angela that day. She said some nonsense as soon as they met so he got angry and left. 

After Angela went to New York, he spent all his time in the military region and didn't go home at all. His deputy general had requested to stay at his house for a few days as his fiancee had come to visit him all the way from her hometown. It would've been easier and more convenient for them to stay outside the military region. 

The house was empty anyway. So without any hesitation, Victor allowed them to stay at his house. Who would have thought that this little bastard would create such a ruckus for him, causing a lot of misunderstanding between Angela and him. 

As he finally understood the root of the issue, Victor sighed. "That was not me. 

"Victor, are you still a man?" How could Angela trust his words? Talk was cheap.

"Angela, can you please trust me?" Victor raised his volume again. 

"I haven't touched any other women all these years. If I were still having sex with other women when I'm with you, wouldn't I be too greedy?".

---

---

CHAPTER 722 

As Victor roared, Angela muttered, "Who would know if you were really too greedy or you couldn't resist the temptation of women?" 

Victor refuted, "Because I like you very much. Since you have become an adult, I have been thinking about you day and night and wanted you to be my woman. But there were many reasons that prevented me from approaching you, and I was afraid that I would hurt you." 

Victor never intended to tell Angela what he just said, but he couldn't predict what the little girl would do if he didn't say it now. 

"Are you serious about this, Victor?" Angela had always thought that it was her own wishful thinking. She was the one who had pestered Victor so much that he finally decided to become her boyfriend because he was annoyed. 

She was a confident person, but she did not know if Victor really had a place for her in his heart. Therefore, as soon as Victor expressed his thoughts and feelings, Angela was very surprised. She even thought that she was hallucinating.

Victor glared at her fiercely and didn't say a word. He tried his best to persuade Angela. If Angela was still doubting his loyalty, he would just tie her up and bring her back to Jiangbei. He would prove his loyalty to her regardless.

"Victor, are you sure you don't have another woman?" 

Although Victor did not clarify that yet, Angela really liked him. Hence, as long as he said he didn't have another woman, she was willing to believe him. 

Some people had said that if a man was willing to deceive you, then that meant that he still cared about you and was willing to continue the relationship with you. 

Angela always acted aggressively and impulsively. But when she was with Victor, she would still have a lot of uncertainty and insecurities deep down although she looked tough on the outside. 

"Apart from you, I have never had another woman." Victor put on his serious look. 

With Victor's assurance, the haze in Angela's heart finally disappeared that instant. She came close to his face and said complacently, "Victor, you said you never had any other women before. So how could you be so skillful the fist time we did it?" 

Angela had always thought that Victor must have dated others before her. After all, when they got together, he was already more than 30 years old. If a man was still a virgin at that age, then there must be some problems with him! 

"Angela!" Victor yelled out. 

Before they got together, this bitch would look for porn videos from time to time and asked him to watch with her. They even discussed the sex positions. The more they watched, and the more they discussed, the more experience they had. 

Though, it was quite a pity he had to take cold showers and run naked on the playground in the winters to calm himself down. Angela's emotions would always come and go really quickly. 

As soon as she believed what Victor said, she rushed over to wrap her arms around Victor and announced arrogantly, "Well, for the sake of your poor situation, I decided to continue being with you. If I don't like you, no one will ever want you in this life. So, you ought to remember how kind I am to you." 

Angela acted proud and arrogant as she said so, and that was exactly what Victor liked about her. This was the Angela that he grew up with.

He rubbed her head and did not fight back. He would like for her to annoy him all day and call him non-stop. In the past 2 weeks, she had turned a blind eye to him. He felt so empty. He knew he lacked Angela's presence in his life. 

"Victor, is it painful?" Angela touched Victor's face. 

She had hit him too hard earlier, so there were some scars and bruises on his face. If she had known earlier that he did not cheat on her, she wouldn't have hit him so hard. She didn't enjoy hurting him either. 

"Why don't you let me slap you so you could feel it too?" This little girl was looking for trouble. 

"Well, then hit me!" Angela put her face in front of him and stuck out her tongue complacently. "If you want to." 

As she just learnt that Victor had liked her for a long time too, and also waited to get together with her, she was incredibly proud and satisfied! If someone were to give her a pair of wings now, her pride would fly her to the sky. 

Being secretly adored by a man, and the fact that he liked her for so many years, the feeling was indescribable. She had always envied her sister-in-law who was so loved, spoiled, and cared for by her cold brother. 

From now on, she didn't need to envy her anymore, because Victor would also spoil her like how her cold brother spoiled Jane. 

"Angela, stop being so proud." Victor was embarrassed. 

If he had known that this girl would be this proud so easily, he wouldn' t have told her. She would definitely be gloating a lot from now on. 

"Angela, since you guys are back together, why don't you guys register for marriage?" 

As soon as Mother Carter, who had been eavesdropping in the next room, heard that they had reconciled, she came by immediately to show her concern about their future. 

Angela had a bad temper and would mention about breaking up in future if she wanted to, so it would just be better for them to get married and be locked to each other. 

"Mom, I'm still young. I'm not in a hurry." Angela looked at Victor to see what he would reply. 

If Victor was sensible enough, he should have said that he was not young anymore. He was also the only son of the James family, he should get married soon to ensure the continuation of his family tree. However, victor did not reply as Angela had expected. 

Instead, he replied calmly, "Your son just got married and they're about to go on a honeymoon soon. You'll be busy taking care of your grandchildren. So, we can wait." Victor's explanation was clearly an excuse to not get married. 

Angela gritted her teeth and said, "Victor, do you have some other woman?" 

Victor refuted angrily, "Angela, what's in your head?" 

So those two started to quarrel again. No one was willing to admit defeat. Mother Carter didn't want to help either of them, so she just covered her ears and walked away. It was an 'out of sight out of mind' situation for her. 

As soon as Mother Carter left, the argument between Angela and Victor turned into a heated session on making up. This was their way to tell each other how much they've missed each other and how much they couldn't leave each other. 

"Are you sure you don't want to marry me, Victor?" Angela would ask from time to time. 

"I thought you were the one who didn't want to marry me." 

"Since when did I say that I did not want to marry you?" Angela wanted to kick this man so hard. How could he be so stupid? 

"You just said that." 

In Victor's opinion, Angela was much younger than him. Besides, she was a charming girl. It seemed a little unfair for her to marry him when she was still young, so he did not want to pressure her. 

When he saw Angela's hesitation, Victor wanted to give her freedom. After all, he liked her because he wanted to see her happy and joyful forever. 

Angela didn't know what to say. In fact, the marriage registration was just for formality. As long as both of them liked each other a lot, it didn't matter if they got their marriage certificate or not..

CHAPTER 717 

Angela and Victor were furious during that time. They didn't notice that Janell was also frightened by their argument. 

Angela let go of Janell, and then she turned around to hold Paul's arm. She looked at Victor provocatively and said, "You think I wouldn't? We have been living together the past two days. What else won't I do?" 

Since Victor had already thought that there was something going on between Paul and herself, she might as well use it to her advantage. She wanted him to know that she could live well without him. Was that wise? 

Angela didn't want to think about protecting anyone's feelings now. She couldn't forgive Victor for betraying her with that disgusting act. She wouldn't care much about other things. But when it came to relationships, she wouldn't tolerate infidelity. 

"Living together?" Victor's eyes were staring at Angela's hands. She was holding onto Paul so tightly. Had she forgotten how she had held him like that before and was so worried that he would slip away from her? 

Angela said coldly, "Captain James, you..." 

"Angela! I am not someone you can get and dump anytime!" Victor roared angrily, then he grabbed Angela and put her over his shoulder, walking away. They had completely forgotten that Janell was left behind with Paul. 

Seeing Angela being taken away, Paul was a little disappointed, but he was overjoyed because he had a chance to grab Janell now! 

He knelt by the little girl and said in his most gentle tone, "Little girl, come with me to meet someone, shall we?" 

Janell stepped backwards immediately and looked at the stranger with caution. "I won't go with you, uncle. My parents will protect me." She remembered the elders' teachings to never follow strangers. This uncle didn't look like a good person. So she could not go with him.

"Little girl, I'll bring you to your mummy and Daddy, okay?" Paul was eager to get Janell. He wanted to bring this little girl to his master. 

"Bad guy! Big, bad guy! Don't touch me!" Janell waved her little hands to prevent Paul from walking closer. 

"I am not a bad guy. I will take you to find your parents." How could this little girl be so difficult to deal with? 

"Bad guy!" As she imagined being taken away by a bad guy again and no one would come to save her, Janell was scared to tears! 

"Janell!" Suddenly, a pleasant yet very familiar voice called Janell from the back. 

She turned around and saw a strange boy. He sounded like Brother Lucas, but he looked different. Janell blinked her big black eyes and stared at that person. "Could he be her Brother Lucas?" 

The boy came to her and bent down so that the little girl could look at him in the eye. "Janell!" 

He touched her little head and called her name again gently. It was impossible for Paul to approach her. Yet, this big boy with a voice just like Brother Lucas came and touched her little head without her giving any resistance. 

"Brother Lucas!" Janell plunged into Brother Lucas's big and warm embrace. Her small hands were grabbing onto Brother Lucas's shirt tightly. Lucas looked different, but his height and voice, as well as his eyes, had remained unchanged. So she was sure that this was her Brother Lucas. 

"Janell!" Lucas hugged Janell's little body as if he was protecting a treasure. 

He had put on a lot of makeup, but Janell was still able to recognize him. That was certainly an indescribable joy. 

"Brother Lucas, I want you to carry me!" Janell rubbed against Lucas's embrace, waiting for Brother Lucas to pick her up. 

"Ok, I'll carry you!" Lucas stood up with Janell in his arms and kissed her pink blushy cheeks. "Did you miss me?" 

Janell rubbed her little face against Brother Lucas and replied softly, "Of course, I've been thinking about you every single day!" 

"How much?" Lucas added. 

"This much!" Janell held onto Brother Lucas's head and gave him a little smooch on the cheeks. "I miss you this much, Brother Lucas!" 

Janell's lips were super soft. She also had that familiar, sweet scent on her. Everything about her could soften his tough heart.

He smiled and lifted her up, turning her around. "I miss you a lot too. That's why I'm here to see you. I want to see if you've grown taller." 

"Brother Lucas, Mommy and Daddy are married now. Will my Brother Lucas get married to me in the future?" The children's world was extremely simple. She thought that anyone could get married as long as they were happy together. 

Lucas was slightly stunned by the question and really didn't know how he should react. He liked Janell very much and always spoiled her. He also wanted to protect her because she was so adorable and lovable. He loved her like a little sister, and he never had any other thoughts about her. 

He was twelve years older than this little one. He was almost seventeen years old now, yet she was still a young little girl. Kids say the darndest things sometimes. How could he take her words so seriously? 

However, he was not willing to make Janell sad. Brother Lucas laughed and rubbed her head. He replied with a smile. "When you grow up and find me one day, and if I am still single, then I will marry you, okay?" Lucas said so to make Janell happy, but the young Janell kept that promise in her mind very seriously. 

When she grew up, she would find Brother Lucas and she would be his bride. "I will grow up very soon." Janell continued to snuggle in the embrace of Brother Lucas. 

It was the best thing to have Brother Janell by her side. When everyone forgot about her existence, she still had Brother Janell by her side. 

"Third young master, the Carter family is almost here." Paul reminded him. 

"Brother, he is a bad guy!" With Brother Lucas around, she was not afraid of any other bad guys. 

"Janell, I am leaving." He ran off this time regardless of the opposition of his people. 

With this record, it would be even more difficult for him to go abroad in the future, "Brother, I won't let you go!" Janell held onto Lucas's hand and refused to let him go. 

Although Brother Lucas had explained to her why he could not stay, she had long forgotten it. All she wanted was for Brother Lucas to be by her side all the time. 

"Janell, be good for me, okay?" Lucas patiently coaxed Janell and could not bear to push away her hand that was holding onto his shirt tightly. 

"I don't want to!" As she imagined Brother Lucas leaving again, Janell was almost in tears. 

Lucas rubbed her little head and said, "You must be a good girl, Janell." 

"I want Brother Lucas, I don't want to be a good girl." She didn't want to be a good girl. She only wanted Brother Lucas to be by her side. 

"Janell." 

"Brother Lucas !" Janell hugged Lucas's head and rubbed her little head against his. "I don't want you to leave.".

CHAPTER 718 

Lucas responded patiently, "Janell, do you still remember what you've promised me?" 

"I can't remember anything." Janell pursed her lips and was about to break into tears as she spoke. "I only want you here Brother Lucas. I don't want you to disappear for a long time." 

Janell could no longer remember anything at this moment. She only knew that if she let her Brother Lucas go, she would not be able to see him for a long time. She hoped that Brother Lucas could stay with her, and he would accompany her to school every day and beat the bad guys who bullied her just like before. 

"Janell..." 

Not only was Janell reluctant to leave, but Lucas was also reluctant to go. He took a big risk to come all this way when the situation in Country A was still very tense just to see this little girl. 

They just reunited briefly. He hadn't given her enough kisses yet nor did he spend enough time with her, so how could he bear to leave her behind? 

"Brother, I won't let you go!" Janell pursed her lips and her tears streamed down her crystal clear eyes. She cried with so much sadness as if she was showing her yearning for Brother Lucas all this while. 

Lucas was heartbroken when he saw Janell cry. He immediately wiped away Janell's tears and said, "Don't cry, Janell. Let's play for a while more." 

"Okay." Janell nodded and continued hugging Brother Lucas tightly, as if he was going to abandon her and leave the moment she let go of him. 

"Paul, you will attend to the Carter family. I will need half a day." With those orders, Lucas hugged Janell and turned around to leave. 

Paul tried to persuade him, "Master.." 

It was quite unfortunate for him to be working for such an emotional master. Did he really think that it would be easy to attend to the Carter family, or their people? He could bite the bullet for a lot of other things, but his master had taken away the daughter of an established family, who also happened to be the apple of everyone's eye. 

Would the Carter family give up so easily if they couldn't find her? But no matter how difficult it was, he still had to do his best. Otherwise, when he returned to Country A, he would be in big trouble. 

His master was a good brother to Janell, but the real him was quite the opposite. He had his ways and no one ever had the courage to offend him. 

When they were attacked in Jiangbei during that deadly incident, his master almost died. It was that little girl from the Carter family who saved his master's life. 

After returning to Country A, his master did not go easy on the mastermind behind the attack... Their First Young Master had been stripped off of all his official positions. He was rather powerless now. 

"Oh... Oh no..." He was about to get into some serious trouble, why would he worry about their First Young Master right now? 

"Janell, are you afraid to follow me?" Lucas ran quickly with Janell in his arms. He did not want to care about anything else. He didn't want to care about being the heir of Country A, or whether she was the gem of the Carter family. All he wanted to do was to be capricious and have fun with this little girl for once. 

"I am not afraid as long as I have you." Janell wrapped her arms around his neck tightly and rubbed her face against his from time to time to express her joy and excitement. 

"Okay, then hold onto me tight." Lucas rubbed her head and pressed it against his chest. This scenery of this island was out of the world. The place was more suitable for couples on dates. 

Since arriving, Lucas has been paying attention to places suitable for children to hang around. After two days of observation, he found a private beach area on the island with an amazing view and he was planning to bring Janell there. 

This island was actually quite big. It would take an hour or so to walk to that beach area. After avoiding the eyes of the Carter family, Lucas and Janell got into a buggy. 

"Brother Lucas, there was a big bad guy that captured me and mommy last time." Janell hasn't seen Brother Lucas for a long time, so she nestled into Brother Lucas's arms and talked about what she had encountered.

Although Lucas was in Country A and he was constantly busy, he had arranged for informers to stay around Janell. He knew most of the things that happened to Janell. 

A few months ago, he heard that Janell had been kidnapped. He wanted to go to New York that time, but it was the end of the year and he had too many things to do at hand. He was under close supervision and couldn't get away, hence he could only leave silently now. 

As he imagined how scared Janell must have been, Lucas hugged her a little tighter and asked gently, "Were you afraid?" 

"Yes, I was." Janell nodded honestly and then replied in a soft voice, "But when I think of Daddy and Brother Lucas, so I was not afraid anymore. I know deep down that Daddy and Brother Lucas will save me and mommy."

A child always said whatever that came to their minds without hiding anything. On top of that, she believed that her father and Brother Lucas were her heroes, and that was a fact she remembered deeply. 

Lucas didn't know what to say. He just patted the little girl's head again and placed her close to his heart. He wanted to let her know that he would protect her forever. Just like what happened last time, he would protect her even at the cost of his life. 

"Brother, I have learned to dance."  When she recalled her dancing skills, Janell was very excited. She got up and jumped on Lucas's lap, trying to show her Brother Lucas her dance steps. 

Lucas responded with a smile, "Then, why don't you show it to me later?" 

Janell nodded and said, "Exactly, I want to show my dance to you." 

Lucas pinched her blushy cheeks and said, "Good girl!" 

"Brother Lucas." Janell blushed and plunged into Brother Lucas's arms, giving full play to her coquetry skills. 

Outsiders were not allowed to enter the private beach area. Lucas decided to bring Janell there anyway because he had discovered a gap on the cliff in the east. If they entered through that remote area, no one would discover them. 

"Janell, let me carry you on my back. I will carry you down." 

It was dangerous to go down from the cliff, but Lucas was sure that he could protect Janell well. 

"Okay." Janell did not hesitate at all. 

She climbed onto Brother Lucas's back as she was told and wrapped her tiny hands around his neck. He supported himself on the small tree beside the rock and walked carefully forward. Within seconds, they have reached the private beach area behind the rock. 

The beach was very clean as there were staff who would clean the place up often, but Lucas did not let Janell to sit on the sand. Instead, he took off his suit, laid it on the sand, and asked Janell to sit on his suit instead. 

"Brother, I want you to carry me still." Janell did not want to sit down. She asked Brother Lucas to sit so that she could remain in his embrace. Maybe then, Brother Lucas would not be able to run away. 

"Alright" Brother Lucas always accepted Janell's requests without much hesitation..

CHAPTER 719 

As Lucas sat down, Janell pounced on him immediately. She threw herself into his arms and then rolled around cheerfully and playfully. 

"Brother Lucas, I like you the most." 

"Oh?" Lucas smiled and then pinched her nose and said, "If you compare me with Daddy, who do you like more?" 

"I like Daddy and Brother Lucas just as much." 

A child would not lie. If she said she liked them the same, then it meant that Brother Lucas was just as important as her father. 

Lucas's heart almost melted with Janell's answer. How could he ever be willing to leave such a lovely little girl? Lucas gave her a hug and said, "Didn't you say that you want to dance for me?" Janell nodded vigorously and rubbed her head in his chest a few times. 

"I learned to dance so that I could dance for my Brother Lucas." 

"The reason you learned to dance was so that you can dance for me?" Lucas was very surprised. This little girl was always so unpredictable. 

"Yes." Janell clambered out of Lucas's embrace and said, "Brother Lucas, watch closely, I'm going to show you now." 

"I'm watching closely." Lucas looked at Janell. Lucas put on a serious attitude as if he was waiting for a world class performance. Janell took a few steps back and straightened the hem of her skirt. All her gestures and actions made it look like it was indeed a world-class performance. 

She was wearing a mini version of a white wedding dress today. The wedding dress made her pink cheeks look even redder, and made her look as cute as a Barbie doll. 

Janell danced around with steps and swirls, but because the beach was not the smooth as the dance room she normally practised in, she almost tripped over.

However, she tried her best to find her balance. After several attempts, Janell gradually got used to the softness of the sand on the beach and danced more naturally. She was spinning and skipping around. just like an angel bestowed upon Lucas by the Gods. 

As Lucas was watching closely, Janell seemed to be growing taller little by little. She was slender and gorgeous, and every single move of hers we're of absolute brilliance.

His Janell... 

"Brother, did I not dance well?" Janell's soft voice made Lucas come back to his senses. 

He wiped the sweat on her forehead and said, "How could that be possible? I think no one can dance better than you." 

Janell continued to ask, "Then why don't you clap for me?" 

"Because the dance was so good, I was too fascinated and forgotten to clap for you.' Lucas picked Janell up and rubbed his forehead against hers. "You're always the best in my heart." 

With Brother Lucas's praise, Janell held Brother Lucas's head and gave him a sweet and intimate kiss without hesitation. 

"Do you want to take a walk by the sea?" Lucas asked. 

Janell replied in a soft voice, "Of course I like it. Yes please!" Janell responded excitedly. As long as Brother Lucas stayed by her side, she would say yes to anything. 

Janell was extremely excited as soon as she saw the water. She wanted to go into the water to collect sea shells, Lucas had to do as she requested and joined her in the waters to collect sea shells. 

"Brother Lucas, this beautiful shell is for you." Janell picked up the first shell and gave it to her Brother Lucas. 

"Good, this is a gift you gave to me. I promise to take good care of it." Lucas didn't just ignore all these meaningless gifts of young children, instead he cherished it very much. 

To be missed by someone and kept in someone's heart so dearly without any ill intentions, all because she liked him. This kind of relationship was too valuable and special for a person like Lucas, so he cherished this relationship very much.

He knew that everyone came close to him with a certain purpose. Everyone but Janell. She has given him a different perspective with her innocence, cuteness, and kindness.

"Brother, this is for you too." After walking along the beach for a while, Janell picked up another seashell and immediately thought of giving it to Brother Lucas again. 

"Thank you!" Lucas carefully put away the seashell that Janell had given him. 

Janell found another pretty one, and another unique one, and another huge one... Janell gave every single seashell she found to Lucas. 

When Lucas realized that there were already ten seashells in his palm, he was a bit confused and asked, "Janell, don't you like seashells?" 

Janell replied in a soft voice, "Of course I like it." 

"If you like it, why do you give them to me?" Lucas did not understand. 

"Because I like you more." Janell's answer was very simple, but it touched Lucas very deeply. She implied that she liked Brother Lucas a lot more and was willing to give everything she liked to Brother Lucas. 

The seashells she collected might be worthless in terms of monetary value, but Lucas knew that these shells he was holding were absolutely invaluable. They were also the most valuable gift he had received in his life. 

"Buzz, buzz, buzz-" The phone in his pocket suddenly rang. Lucas took it out and saw that it was Paul's number. 

When he answered the call, Paul said, "Third Young Master, I can't stop the people of the Carter family anymore. Send the child back quickly. Let them find her. Your identity must not be exposed." 

Lucas knew exactly how serious the consequences would be if his identity was exposed. It was time for him to send Janell back after being so headstrong all this while. 

He rubbed Janell's head and said, "Janell!" 

"Brother Lucas?" Janell blinked her big, beautiful eyes and sweetly called his name out. 

Lucas took a deep breath and said, "Janell, your father sent someone to pick you up. I have to go back to my own home, so.." 

"Brother Lucas, are you leaving me again?" 

Janell pursed her lips. She wanted to hold back her sadness, but when she thought that Lucas was going to leave, she couldn't help but burst into tears. 

"Please don't cry!" Lucas wanted to wipe her tears away, but the more he wiped, the more the little girl cried. 

"Janell..." 

"Brother, if you leave, I will be scared. Do you want to leave still?" Janell said sadly while wiping her tears away with her tiny hands. 

"Janell, I'm so sorry!" Because of his background, he could not stay with her and grow up with her. 

"I don't want you to say sorry!" Although Janell was desperately trying to stop Brother Lucas from leaving, she didn't want him to apologize to her, because she didn't want to see him sad too. 

Lucas held Janell in his arms and hugged her tightly. "Then, promise me that you will grow up quickly, so that you can find me in the future." 

Janell nodded and said, "I promise." 

Lucas still wanted to speak more, but the phone calls from Paul were ringing non-stop. Lucas knew that the Carter family was getting closer and closer. 

As much as he didn't want to leave Janell, the reality was forcing him to do so. So he took Janell back through the secret path they came from and left Janell by the main road. 

He rubbed her little head and kissed her little face. "Janell, I'm leaving now.".

CHAPTER 714 

"If I could guess it, I wouldn't have asked you." Jane tilted her head and looked at Edwin ruefully. But she was wearing a blindfold, so Edwin wasn't able to read her expression. 

"Well, it's better that you can't figure it out." If she managed to guess what was going on, then there would be no surprise, and it would have been a waste of effort trying to hide it all from her. 

Jane didn't know how to respond. "Why the hell is he so annoying? I want to punch him so bad!" 

The carriage went along the coastal road of the island and finally pulled over after half an hour. The motorcade that was following the carriage also stopped. It was a majestic sight. 

Jane still did not know what Edwin was up to today after arriving at their destination. Without her vision, she could only hold onto Edwin's hand tightly. Edwin became her eyes at that moment. 

Edwin appeased her and patted her hand. He helped her out of the carriage and whispered in her ear, "Jane, I'm going to take off your blindfold now." 

"Okay," Jane replied gently. 

For some reason, Jane suddenly felt a little nervous. She didn't know what she would see after taking off the blindfold. 

When Edwin uncovered the blindfold, Jane closed her eyes by instinct. She took a deep breath, and then slowly opened her eyes. 

What appeared in front of Jane was a majestic and beautiful church. The church was surrounded by a plethora of flowers, which made it look like a mystical fairyland. 

With that dreamy setting, Jane could not believe her eyes. It looked like a beautiful dream come true. She was standing on a long red carpet, and the red carpet led directly to the entrance of the church. 

The two sides of the red carpet were also surrounded by guests and reporters from all walks of life. 

As she looked ahead, Father Carter, Mother Carter, Angela, Robert, Laura, John Alex, and their baby were standing in the middle of the red carpet with smiles on their faces. 

Of course, the ones who had Jane's attention the most were Andrew and Janell. They stood out in front of the crowd. The two children were wearing a suit and a dress respectively, and each of them were holding a bouquet of flowers. They looked extremely adorable. 

When they arrived, the media aimed their cameras on them. Flashlights were everywhere as the cameras tried hard to record every single moment of this wedding of the century. 

Robert, who was wearing a black suit, took a step forward. He held Janell in one hand and Andrew in the other. Then, he walked slowly toward Jane. 

Watching them getting closer and closer, Jane wanted to say something but her emotions left her speechless. And everything in front of her slowly became blurred. 

How could Edwin do this? Why didn't he inform her about this wedding in advance? How could he allow her to cry in front of so many guests and the media? 

Just when Jane's emotions were making her all flustered, a familiar hand gently wrapped around her waist and pulled her to his side. 

He said, "Jane, this is our wedding. I've owed you this for five years now. I'll make it all up to you today. I hope you won't blame me." Edwin's voice was still deep and seductive as usual. 

It sounded so enchanting and charming. She was basking in her excitement and joy, so why would she be blaming him? She never even expected a wedding ceremony. 

Right now, the dreamiest wedding ceremony appeared in front of her eyes, and she was the bride. She became too emotional to know what to do next. She didn't know how to face this sudden situation because she had not prepared for it. 

"As long as you're with me, you can just follow me." Edwin assured Jane in his familiar, deep voice again. 

Jane calmed down a lot hearing what Edwin had just said. She was not ready for this, but she had Edwin. 

"Yes!" She nodded. "As long as he's here, I'll just follow him." He was her eyes. He was the direction to guide her forward. He was everything to her! 

Edwin raised his hand and gently held Jane's face. He lowered his head and kissed away her tears. "From today on, everyone will know that you are my wife. And from now on, whoever's brave enough to cause you hurt, I will not spare that person, including myself." 

Edwin did not speak loudly, but every word he said was clear as day. His short speech was captured by all the photographers in the room and was also streamed live on the internet. 

He wanted the world to hear his vow. Jane was his wife, that someone he would protect with his life. Whoever was brave enough to come after her again would suffer the consequences at their own expenses! 

Edwin would not share his tactics to deal with those who messed with his loved ones. Ed Yates's incident was a good example after all. 

"I won't cry!" Jane didn't want to cry, but she couldn't hold back her tears. She was moved by what Edwin had just done. 

"Good girl, stop crying!" Edwin reached out his hand and gently wiped away her tears with his thumb. "If you cry, my heart will ache." 

"I am happy!" Jane bit her lip and tried her best to control her tears. She didn't want Edwin to experience heartaches because of her again. 

Finally, Robert arrived in front of them with Andrew and Janell. Robert smiled and said, "Our most beautiful bride. There are so many cameras from everywhere in the world looking at you right now. Aren't you afraid that your makeup will be a mess when you cry?" 

Jane glared at him warningly! 

"Daddy!" Janell let go of Robert's hand suddenly and threw herself to her father. 

Early this morning, all the elders in the family had told her over and over again that she was not allowed to ask for hugs from her father as he was busy. She was supposed to be the most beautiful flower girl for her parents' wedding. 

However, as soon as she saw her parents, she couldn't stand still anymore. She had already forgotten what the adults had asked her to do, and threw herself into her father" s embrace with the flowers in her hand. 

Edwin caught her little body that was running his way and picked her up to kiss her. "My baby, what's wrong?" 

"I miss the both of you." She leaned over to kiss her father, and then moved to kiss her mother as well. "You look so beautiful." 

"Thank you for your praise, baby!" Jane smiled with tears in her eyes. To Jane, being praised by her daughter was more precious than anyone else's praise. 

"I'm as beautiful as you!" The little fellow was really a genius. It turned out that she was just praising herself instead of her mother. 

Jane rubbed her little head and said, "No, you're the most beautiful one of all." 

After getting the praise of her mother, Janell turned to look at her father, hoping that her father could praise her too. "Mommy is right. You're the most beautiful." 

Edwin pinched the little fellow's face and said, "But today, mommy is the star. You have to listen to what grandpa, grandma, and little Aunt says." 

"But I don't want to." She had been around her grandparents since early in the morning, so she really wanted to be with her father and mother now. She didn't want her parents to only see each other in their eyes and ignore her completely!.

---

CHAPTER 715 

Edwin said patiently, "You're going to be the most beautiful little flower girl today. You can't cling on me today." 

"But I want to be with Mommy and you!" Janell spoke firmly. She held her father's neck tightly with both of her small hands, and did not show signs of letting go. 

"Baby.." Edwin was helpless. He really didn't know what to do with this little fellow. Since he raised this child so lovingly since she was born, he could not bear to turn down her requests. 

"Edwin, leave her to me." Jane reached out to hug Janell and kissed her. "Then, you can be with me." 

"Okay." Janell nodded vigorously. She loved to be with her parents. 

"Mr. Carter, please go to the front and wait for the bride." The emcee of the wedding interrupted the family. 

"Mr. Michael, you will hand the bride over to the groom later." Jane's father had passed away. So it would be the most appropriate for her eldest brother, Robert, to walk Jane down the aisle and hand her hand over to Edwin. 

Everything was ready. Everyone stood in their positions. Edwin walked to the other end of the red carpet, waiting for his bride. 

As the Wedding March started to play, everyone's eyes were fixed on the bride. Jane held Janell with one hand and Robert with her other. They walked toward Edwin on the other side of the red carpet. 

After a walking few steps forward, twelve helicopters flew over from the top of their heads. The planes formed a heart shape that hovered in the air and scattered flower petals down to the ground. 

All of a sudden, it was raining flowers. The petals were fluttering in the air. Along with the flowers on the ground, everyone was immersed in a sea of flowers. 

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" A guest exclaimed in admiration. If a woman had a man who could host a wedding like this in their lives, that would be a life with no regrets. 

"Yeah, it's too beautiful. It's a pity that I would never live a good life like this." 

"Chairman Carter is handsome, and the bride is also so gorgeous. They are truly a perfect match." 

The show did not end here. When the bride approached the groom slowly under her older brother's lead, eleven of the planes threw out long banners at the same time, and each had a long line of messages. 

From Edwin meeting Jane for the first time to their separation... everything was detailed and shown to the public. Kevin told everyone their story. 

However, the ribbon that the leading aircraft released at the very end was what caught everybody's attention the most. All the other banners were red, but this one was in white. 

The banner read, "No matter life or death, I'll always be with you. I will hold your hand and grow old with you!" Edwin was never the kind who was good at expressing his feelings, and it was even more difficult for him to say it out to the public. So, he came up with this special way to express his love for Jane. 

When this long banner was released, Jane had walked down the aisle and finally came to Edwin's side. She looked at him with eyes as gentle as a dove. In fact, no matter how breath-taking the set up was, the beauty of everything else still wouldn't come close to the beauty of the man in front of her. 

There was only Edwin in her eyes, and without a doubt, Edwin only had her in his eyes too. 

He looked at Jane's shy face lovingly. His gaze was so focused onto her, as if it was going to look through all of her. Jane was the beautiful bride of the day. Right at this moment, she had finally gone through all kinds of challenges in life, and remained by his side despite it all.

"Mr. Carter!" The usherer next to him coughed lightly, trying to remind Edwin to come to his senses because they needed to move on with the ceremony. 

Edwin regained his composure and took a small step forward. He knelt down on one knee and looked at Jane and Robert. "Brother, with your blessing, I will protect her with my life from now on, forever and always." 

For the first time, Edwin addressed Robert as his brother because Robert was the only biological family member of Jane. Robert's blessings would also imply that it was their parent's blessing. 

By taking Jane's hand away from Robert's grip, it also signified that he had accepted the responsibility of taking care of Jane. 

"Okay." Robert nodded with satisfaction and helped Edwin up. He handed Jane's hand to Edwin and said, "I'll pass

Jane over to you today on behalf of my father. I hope that she will live blissfully in the future." 

Edwin held Jane's hand and kissed her gently. "Jane, are you willing to come with me?" 

"Yes!" Jane nodded vigorously. She had walked through storms to reach this far. 

After receiving the bride, Edwin took her hand and was ready to walk forward. But Janell, who was still holding Jane's left hand, did not want to let go of her.

Was it because she was too young and too short? Nobody saw her, and her parents did not kiss her. 

Janell was very disappointed to be ignored again. She did not want to leave them. Instead, she pouted and tried different ways to get the adults' attention. 

The first person who noticed her temper was not Jane, nor was it Edwin, but instead it was Lucas, who was sitting amongst the crowd. He dressed differently and he had makeup on, so no one could recognize him. Yet, he did not look away from Janell all this while.

He wanted to go over badly and pick Janell up. He wanted to reassure her. Other people could ignore her, but Brother Lucas would never do so to her. But he knew he couldn't, and he wasn't supposed to... 

Janell was also another eye-catcher today, and a lot of people were looking at her. 

"Janell, what's wrong?" After Jane took a few steps forward, she realized something unusual about Janell. 

"I can't walk anymore." Janell said pitifully after looking at her mother, then her father. In other words, she wanted her father to carry her. 

Edwin was never a person who cared much about rules so he picked Janell up immediately and said, "Okay, since you can't walk anymore, I will carry you." 

She became the bright star again. She held her father's head happily and gave him a sweet and soft kiss. Finally, the family of three walked down the aisle and came up to the priest. 

Under the witness of their family, friends, guests, and media, the priest began his speech. He finally got to the point after giving a long opening speech. 

The grey-haired priest looked at the new couple standing in front of him and asked in a heart-warming tone, "Jane Ronan, do you take Edwin Carter as your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?" 

As soon as the priest finished speaking, everyone else held their breaths and were ready to listen to Jane's "Yes, I do". 

However, Jane did not say a thing for a long time. She turned her head slightly and looked at Edwin, who was standing next to her..

---

---

CHAPTER 716 

Edwin took a big gulp of air, out of anxiety, absolutely eager to hear Jane say "Yes, I do" more than anyone else. 

However, Jane did not answer. She looked at him without showing much expression. Jane did not answer for a long time, and guests started whispering. Just as Edwin wanted to say something, Jane moved her hand slightly and let go of Edwin's hand. 

The moment Jane pulled her hand away, Edwin could feel something poke through his heart. Yet, in the next second, Jane held his hand tightly again and gave him a bright happy smile. She looked at the priest and replied firmly, 

"Yes, I do!" Edwin's racing heart settled down finally. Under Angela and Laura's lead, a warm applause sounded behind them. 

The priest looked at Edwin, who was carrying their child, and asked again, "Edwin Carter, do you take Jane Ronan as your lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?" 

Edwin nodded without hesitation. "Yes, I do." Besides this life, he wanted to be with Jane in their next lives too. He wanted to protect her and to love her, forever and always! 

As soon as Edwin responded, an enthusiastic applause lasted for a long time in the church. 

The priest asked again, "Olivia Carter, Stephen Carter, as Edwin Carter's parents, do you bless their marriage?" 

Father Carter replied, "Yes, I do!" 

Mother Carter was so moved she had already started crying long ago. She wiped off the tears of joy and nodded, "Of course I do!" 

The priest added, "Then I'm officially announcing." 

"Grandpa, you still haven't asked me yet." Before the priest could finish his words, a soft and tender voice suddenly interrupted him. 

"Oh.." The priest responded very quickly. With a smile on his usually serious face, he added, "Janell Carter, do you bless your parents to be an officially wedded husband and wife?" 

Janell nodded vigorously and answered, "Yes, I do! I want my daddy and mommy to be together forever!" 

There was another round of applause from the crowd, and the priest continued, "Then, please allow me to announce officially that the bride and groom can now exchange rings, and the groom may kiss the bride." 

The groom was still holding a third wheel in his arms. The third wheel was staring at them with her gorgeous big eyes. How was he going to kiss the bride? 

Perhaps they had been married for a while now and understood each other's thoughts, Edwin and Jane approached Janell at the same time and kissed one side of her cheeks each. This was a one-of-a-kind wedding. 

The groom was unable to kiss his bride. However, their joy and happiness were something that everyone in the room could witness. Under the witness of the guests, Edwin and Jane's wedding ceremony was completed successfully. 

"Jane." At this moment, Edwin couldn't think of anything else. All he could think about was their "wedding night" tonight. 

"Hm?" Jane blushed a little under his gaze, but she did not shy away from him. 

"We won't be attending the wedding reception. My parents can take care of the guests." He put Janell down and said, "Good girl, go to your Little Aunt, okay?" 

Janell had received enough attention at the wedding. She was sensible enough to stop bothering her parents and went with her Little Aunt. 

Under everyone's gaze, Edwin carried Jane up by the waist and left At this moment, nothing could stop the excitement of him wanting to return to their wedding suite immediately, 

Edwin left with Jane in his arms. Father Carter and Mother Carter were busy attending to the guests in the wedding reception, and Angela was responsible for taking care of Janell. 

Just then, another helicopter flew across in the sky. The helicopter hovered in the air for a while, and then a ladder was thrown out. A man came down quickly along the ladder. 

Soon, Angela could see who the man was clearly. It was the man who betrayed her, Victor James. Angela looked at him from afar, then turned around and left with Janell in her arms. 

She didn't want to see him at all. She had almost forgotten about what happened over the last two days. But she felt sick and disgusted again as soon as she saw him. 

"Sister, brother-in-law, sorry I'm late." The main purpose of his attendance was not to attend Edwin's wedding, but he wanted to capture Angela. 

"You should know Angela's feelings for you better than us. She' s always had a bad temper, so you should compromise a little. If you guys want to stay together for a long time, you must learn to understand each other more." Mother Carter knew the real reason Victor was here. 

She pointed at the direction where Angela left. "Go and chase after her. Communicate and talk things out, okay?" 

"I know," said Victor seriously. He ran after her without saying anything else. 

Victor was a soldier and he could walk and run very fast. As Angela was restricted from holding Janell, he managed to catch up with her in no time. 

"Uncle!" Janell had not seen Victor for a long time so she threw herself into Victor's embrace excitedly. 

"Baby, don't talk to this bad guy." Angela turned around with Janell in her arms and walked in another direction. She didn't even want to look at Victor. 

"Angela, how long will you be f*cking mad at me for?" He had even put his ego down and came to see her from Jiangbei, but she was still ignoring him. 

"Victor, can't you f*cking understand human language? I've told you very clearly, I don't like you anymore. We have broken up, and we have nothing to do with each other anymore." 

He had done something so disgusting. Yet, without any explanation for what he's done, he claimed that she was mad as soon as they met! 

"Ha- ha-ha-ha... Angela laughed bleakly. "I guess our relationship was a mistake from the very beginning. He clearly didn't like me. I was the one who kept on pestering him. He had only accepted me out of pity." She thought silently. 

"Try saying that again!" If she dared to talk irrationally again, he would tear her into pieces. "Miss Carter, are you guys going to fight?" 

These two were in a heated argument at the moment, yet Aaron Paul decided to disturb at such a bad timing. 

As Victor saw Mr. Paul, his repressed anger was ignited immediately. He grabbed Angela and yelled, "No wonder you wanted to break up with me, because this guy came back to you again!" 

As Victor roared out loud, Angela's heart seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar that instant, frozen and shattered into pieces. He was the one who had cheated on her. 

How blind was she before this to have fallen in love with such an irresponsible man? She was on the edge of breaking into tears. 

However, she smiled and said, "Exactly, I'm going to marry him back in Country A. He is the one that I was arranged to marry anyway. If I don't marry him, who else should I marry?" 

"How dare you!" Victor held Angela's wrist so tightly he could almost crush her. He looked at her as fierce as a sharp sword. 

Janell, who was in Angela's arms, was scared to tears..

CHAPTER 711 

"Tradition?" 

Edwin Carter frowned. What kind of tradition was that? For the first time, he was a proper groom. Why couldn't he accompany the bride during her dressing up and witness her beautiful transformation? 

"Mr. Carter, you have a lot of time with her from now on. Please don't take this personally." The woman smiled ambiguously.

"What are you going to do?" Edwin was reluctant to leave. 

Jane Ronan laughed when she saw the reluctance on Edwin's face as he was acting like a clingy child. Edwin glared at the woman, then he stroked Jane's head and said softly. "I'll be downstairs. I'll pick you up in a moment. Don't worry." 

"Oh, I'm so worried." Jane looked at his extremely reluctant look and could not resist laughing at him. "I'm worried that I won't even be able to tell you if you sold me away." 

"How naughty!" Edwin lowered his head and kissed Jane hard. He did not care that there were still so many people around them. 

"Oh... No.." Jane was so embarrassed that she punched him on the back with her fist and thought, "Is this man crazy? There are so many people around us. How can you do this?" 

The people around them were very sensible and left them alone. Although they really wanted to check out their display of affection, they turned around and left them alone. If they looked and Chairman Carter got angry at them later, they would not live a peaceful life after. 

Edwin's kiss was domineering and passionate, which was a contrast to his calm appearance. Jane felt suffocated. Just when Jane thought she was going to suffocate, he finally let go of her slowly, but his face was full of dissatisfaction. 

"It's been so long, and you don't even know how to breathe when kissing." Jane's delicate and beautiful face blushed. He complained about her kissing in front of so many people. 

"I'll teach you more in the future." His rough fingers gently touched her mouth as he spoke seriously, 

Jane was at a loss for words. For the first time, she knew that Edwin was not only bossy, but also shameless. 

"You have to cooperate well with them. Call me if you need anything. I'll be downstairs." Edwin kissed Jane's forehead and reminded her again, hoping that Jane would rest assured. 

Although he didn't stay with her all the time, he was near her. As long as she needed him, he could come to her at any time. He really wanted to participate in the whole process of transformation of his bride, but he decided to respect the tradition. After all, this was his wedding with Jane, and he didn't want any shortcomings. 

"Edwin, don't worry. I'm not a child anymore." 

Recently, this man was very worried about her. He really regarded her as a three-year-old child. It seemed that as long as he was not by her side, she would be lost. 

She knew that she almost scared him to death the last time she was injured and couldn't wake up from her coma for 3 months, so he stayed by her side and watched her closely from that incident on.

"In my eyes, you are just as young as Janell." 

He meant that he was willing to protect Jane like a child in this life. He loved her and would never let her suffer any hardships again. 

"Edwin, you're shameless." Jane blurted out. If she was only a child, how could he behave so seductively with a child? 

"Carrie." Edwin looked at the well-dressed woman. "I'll leave my wife to you. Please take good care of her." 

Carrie turned around and smiled faintly. "Mr. Carter, you're too polite. You two are my most distinguished guests. I will take good care of Mrs. Carter." 

After that, Edwin turned around and left. But after a few steps, he looked back. He didn't want to leave Jane for a minute. Jane gave him a reassuring smile, indicating that she would take good care of herself, and then Edwin left with a peace of mind. 

As soon as Edwin left, the staff began to take action "Hello, Mrs. Carter! I'm Carrie, my staff and I are very glad to serve you." Carrie said. 

Jane nodded shyly. "Thank you!" 

Earlier, Edwin kissed her in front of so many people, so her face was still blushed and hot. They were acting intimately under so many people's watch. How could she not be shy? 

"We're so envious at how he treats you well," Carrie said. 

"Do you know him well?" Jane asked curiously. 

Although Carrie called him Mr. Carter, Jane could tell that her tone was not as polite as the others. On the contrary, it sounded like she was teasing him playfully. 

"Yes. We were classmates." Carrie smiled calmly. "We were just regular classmates. Please don't think too much about it, Mrs. Carter. We all acknowledge Mr. Carter's love for you." 

Jane did not comment more, but she just smiled shyly. She was worried that other beautiful women would attract Edwin's attention. 

She scolded Edwin again and again in her heart. It was all Edwin's fault. He was such a coy man. He was always well dressed and acted like a gentleman in front of others, but actually, he was like a beast deep down. 

"Mrs. Carter, please come with me. We'll put on your wedding gown for you first." Carrie led Jane to the changing room. 

"Wedding gown?" Jane was confused again. She still didn't know what Edwin was going to do today. 

"Does Edwin want to make up for us having had no bridal photos taken when we first got married?" Jane thought. "Yes! It's very possible." It seemed to be a good place to take wedding photos. It was a romantic and beautiful place. So it made sense to Jane. 

When they came to the changing room, Jane saw a wedding gown hanging on the rack. At a glance, she knew that this was the dress she designed for herself. However, it was not entirely her design. 

The train of the wedding dress was much longer than her design, and it looked like it was several meters long. Not only had the train of the skirt been modified, but the patterns on the dress had also changed. The hemline of the skirt was embroidered with white orchids. As the breeze blew, the petals fluttered gently, like dancing butterflies. 

"Is this the upgraded version of Butterfly Love?" Jane wondered. 

Jane reassured herself. Maybe it was. 

Many years ago, she wore the 'Butterfly Love' dress to attend a dinner party. In the end, because Christopher Greyson caused a scene, she and Edwin parted on bad terms. 

Many years later, he brought her to Santorini on the Aegean Sea for a wedding photoshoot. He probably wanted to make up for that night. Edwin's care for her was sincere and perfect. 

"Mrs. Carter, can we help you with your dress?" Carrie asked politely. "Sorry for the trouble." 

Carrie's voice brought Jane back to reality, and then she smiled apologetically. When the staff helped Jane change into the wedding dress, the person she was thinking of was Edwin. 

Edwin probably would change his attire for the photos too. What would he wear?.

CHAPTER 712 

Edwin's appearance was so attractive that it could turn the world upside down. If he dressed up handsomely, how many more people would he attract?

When Jane thought about how others could also admire Edwin's looks, she felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to keep him for herself only. She would keep him in a place that only she could see, so that others would have no chance to flirt with him. 

Suddenly, Jane was shocked by the idea in her head. It turned out that she would get jealous easily too. As Edwin spoke slightly friendlier towards Carrie, she began to overthink! She used to say that Edwin was a jealous person, but she didn't expect that she was the same. 

Just as Jane was deep in her thoughts, the staff had helped her put on the wedding dress perfectly already. The waistline of the dress perfectly accentuated her waist. She never knew that her waist was so thin. Of course, the fitted waist was not the highlight of the wedding dress. 

The train of the wedding dress, which was several meters long, was spread beautifully on the ground. It was snow white and dazzling. Jane was stunned for a moment. 

"Mrs. Carter, you looked so beautiful! No wonder Chairman Carter dotes on you so much." Carrie sighed from the bottom of her heart. 

When she saw this custom-made wedding dress, she was shocked. Such a perfect wedding dress must have been personally handmade by the famous designer, Ivan. 

Just the cost of this dress must have been crazy expensive. It was only possible for Ivan to make such an exquisite craft. But how many wearers in the world could match up to such an exquisite craft? 

Today, Jane had given her the answer. No one else was more suitable for this dress than she was. Be it her physique, or her personality, Jane complemented the wedding dress perfectly. It was a match made in heaven. 

The group of staff could be considered elites in this industry. Over the years, they had helped many rich, young ladies with their wedding preparations, but those ladies were not as good-looking as the woman in front of them. 

Even the women couldn't move their eyes away from Jane when they saw her in that dress, who looked as beautiful as a magical flower. 

Could you imagine the eyes of men? Her beauty was out of this world! 

She had not put on makeup yet, and Jane was already so stunningly beautiful. If she put on makeup, how beautiful would she be? 

"Thank you!" Jane responded with a smile. 

She had never thought that she was attractive. Maybe she had been by Edwin's side for a long time and always saw his handsome face, so no matter how good-looking she was, her own appearance would not attract her attention. 

But today, as she put on a white wedding dress for the first time, she realized that she looked quite beautiful.

In the mirror, her skin was as fair as snow, her eyes were bright as stars, and her lips looked red and luscious even without lipstick. She was satisfied with her look. This was the best version of herself that she had ever seen. 

Perhaps it was not because she looked so beautiful, but because she was very calm and satisfied. At this moment, she was very happy. The happiness that radiated from her made her look elegant, beautiful and gentle.

Jane's skin was very smooth, tender and fair. Makeup was just the icing on the cake for her. The makeup artist wanted to accentuate Jane's natural beauty, so he trimmed Jane's eyebrows slightly and put on some light makeup, which was more than enough for her to win the hearts of the crowd. 

Downstairs, Edwin changed in the men's changing room and waited for a long time. His eyes were fixed on the stairs. He wanted to peek at Jane several times, but he restrained himself 

"Carrie is right. In the future, I will spend the rest of my life with Jane, so I don't need to worry about her for the time being." 

Although he said so, Edwin was still anxious. He was pacing back and forth in the room, fully demonstrating the anxious mood of the groom who wanted to see the beautiful bride soon. 

Finally, he heard a signal from upstairs. After the bride dressed up, he rushed upstairs to welcome his beautiful bride. 

However, when he rushed to the stairs, Edwin stopped again. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He had to appear in front of his bride in his most elegant state. 

Edwin did not expect that his efforts to calm himself down would go to vain, as he would be defeated immediately when he saw Jane. 

Jane just stood there. When he went upstairs, he saw her immediately. With just one glance, he was dumbfounded. He could only see her, and everything around her turned into a blur. 

Edwin had always known that Jane was very beautiful. She may not be the prettiest person at first glance, but her beauty glowed through her appearance. Her beautiful and sweet personality brought out the best of her, and just like wine, she looked even finer with time. 

Only then did Edwin realize that Jane could look so stunningly beautiful. She was breathtakingly alluring and dazzling, as if she was the center of the universe. She would attract everyone's attention, and everything around her would lose its glory because of her. 

He looked at her and stood there in a daze, as if he had forgotten how to move forward. When Edwin fixed his eyes on Jane, she also looked at him. 

Similarly, her thoughts and feelings towards Edwin in a stunning suit would not be less than what he felt when he saw her. However, because she was used to seeing Edwin's handsome appearance, she was relatively calm compared to him. 

Edwin's eyes did not leave Jane. His gaze made Jane feel like she was naked at this moment, and he could see through her. Jane blushed and turned her head away. She was shy to look into Edwin's eyes. 

She looked away, and Edwin finally regained his senses. He calmed down again, and then stepped towards Jane and pulled her into his arms. 

"Edwin, don't.." Jane tried to push him away. There were so many people around them. What did he want to do? 

As soon as Edwin waved his hand, the people around him went downstairs immediately. 

"Jane!" He whispered her name. His voice was very soft, but you could hear his sincerity ebbing through his words, as if he wanted to engrave her name into the depths of his heart. 

"Yes." Jane lowered her head and rubbed against his chest. 

"Are you willing to spend the rest of your life with me? No matter what happens in the future, you will never leave me again." Edwin asked carefully. 

Before the wedding, he wanted to hear a positive answer from her. He wanted to prove that this wedding was not out of his own wishful thinking, but she was willing to be with him as well.

"I do." She was willing because she was his lawful wife. Of course, she would be with him for the rest of her life. 

"What are you willing to do?" He insisted on hearing the most accurate answer. 

"I'm willing to spend the rest of my life with you. I will never leave you again no matter what obstacles lie ahead in the future." Jane bit her lip and said resolutely.

---

CHAPTER 713 

"So, will you object to the thing I'm going to do next?" Edwin Carter stared at Jane Ronan and asked again. 

Jane nodded and answered without hesitation, "No matter what decision you make, I'll listen to you." 

Since she had decided to spend the rest of her life with him, she was willing to respect every decision he made. Most importantly, Jane believed that Edwin could make the most accurate decision when faced with anything, so she was willing to listen to him. 

"Very good." After getting Jane's answer, Edwin smiled. 

He held the back of Jane's head and pushed her to him. He lowered his head slightly and kissed her hair and forehead, then from her forehead to her nose, until he reached her lips. 

He held her lower lip as he bit it gently. He only used a little strength but Jane felt hurt. She opened her eyes and looked at him with a confused face. She didn't understand what had happened to him today. 

"Don't look at me like that." Edwin's voice was low and hoarse. 

She didn't know how cute she looked. She was like a little white rabbit that had fallen into his hands, and he was the big evil wolf. He could tear her down at any time and eat her. 

"Edwin, don't scare me, okay?" 

This man had been acting strange since last night. They were just taking wedding photos. Why was he so nervous? Was something about to happen? 

"How could I be willing to scare you? I'm going to take you to a place. Before we get there, you can't see anything." 

Edwin waved around like he was performing a magic trick. Suddenly, a blindfold appeared in his hand. "Put this on and we'll set off." 

"Edwin, I know." Jane pursed her lips and smiled gently. 

It was just a wedding shoot. She was not a fool. She had a wedding dress on her. How could she not guess it? 

"You already know?" Edwin asked. 

When did she find out? He didn't tell her a single word. How did she find out? If he knew that someone leaked the news to her, he would catch the man and tear him into pieces. 

"It's just a wedding photoshoot. Don't worry. I will cooperate with your demands." 

It was rare to see such an expression of surprise on Edwin's face, so his expression brightened up Jane's mood. 

Edwin raised his eyebrows and asked, "A wedding photoshoot?" 

Jane pouted her lips and said, "I've put on the wedding dress. Do you think you can hide it from me? I'm not stupid." 

Hearing her words, Edwin laughed out loud. He thought she was silly. However, no matter how silly she was, he would not dislike her. 

Since Jane thought it was a wedding photoshoot, then he would roll along with that excuse. Edwin took out a blindfold and put it on her. "Are you afraid?" 

"I'm not afraid!" Jane shook her head confidently. Even if she could not see anything else after wearing the blindfold, she was still not afraid as she trusted him. 

"Well, let's go." Edwin picked Jane up and walked happily away. 

Jane pushed him and said, "Edwin, don't do this. There are so many people downstairs." 

Edwin replied in a deep voice, "I want to hold my wife. It's none of their business." 

Jane didn't know what to say. "Well, this is the real Edwin. He is bossy and doesn't care what others think of him." 

With her eyes blindfolded, she could not see anything. She could only try to listen and feel everything around her. 

After going downstairs, there were many cars parked in front of the red building, and there was a long line of motorcades. The cars were all expensive luxury cars. There was a driver in a black suit next to each luxury car. They stood straight and looked very orderly. 

Each car was equipped with a wreath. The car in front of the line had two dolls fastened on its bonnet. The male doll was wearing a black suit and the female doll was wearing a wedding dress. The two of them were kissing as they faced each other. 

However, compared with these luxury cars, the luxurious carriage in front of them was more eye-catching. The carriage was decorated with flowers like the British Royal Family's carriage. 

There were two white horses pulling the carriage. One of them had a tie around its neck, and the other had a white veil on. They looked like a couple who were about to get married too. 

This was the procession that Edwin had prepared to welcome the bride, but at this moment, the bride could not see anything. Edwin gently put Jane on the carriage, and then whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid." 

Jane nodded. Because the train of the wedding dress was too long, Edwin assigned four young and beautiful women to hold the train for Jane behind the carriage. 

When everything was ready, Edwin set off officially with his bride. Four helicopters hovered above their heads, and there were cameramen on the helicopters. They recorded the entire wedding with their cameras. 

The horses galloped off, heading towards the wedding venue. Looking down from the sky, the long wedding dress looked like layers of waves. 

At this moment, Jane couldn't see anything. She was curious about everything around her. Under her blindfold, she tried hard to peek through. She couldn't wait to see what kind of surprise Edwin wanted to give her. 

However, she clearly knew that there were a lot of people around them, and Edwin ordered them to do things, but none of them spilled the beans. 

"Hold on a little longer!" Edwin, who was sitting next to her, suddenly reached out and held her hand. His hand was very warm, and she could feel his love and care transmitted through his warmth. 

"Mr. Carter, is it not just a wedding photoshoot?" If it was just a wedding photoshoot, Edwin would not be so bothered. 

"But what is Edwin planning for?" Jane tilted her head and thought, "If it is not just a wedding photoshoot but she put on a wedding dress, could it be a wedding ceremony?" 

This idea suddenly came to her mind and she tried hard to brush that thought away. Planning a wedding needed a lot of preparation. As the bride, she had not heard any news about it. How could there be a wedding? 

"Well, you can keep guessing!" Edwin rubbed her hand. As he saw her red lips, he wanted to kiss her again. He always had strong willpower, but today, his willpower was almost zero. 

He wanted to hold Jane and kiss her hard. In the end, Edwin realized that he could not blame his willpower, because Jane was too attractive to resist. She was so delicious that he wanted to eat her up. 

As soon as he had this idea, Edwin salivated slightly and he gulped. Damn it! He still had to endure it for a whole day.

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.".
