Chapter 33: Not his heart, but his respect

Book:Deep Love: Let's remarry! Published:2024-6-2

Soon, the Best Singer Competition 50 to 10 competition was about to take place.
Jane Gardner, with the company’s focused training, decided on the final song for the competition.
And because of the change in the competition system, this time, Jane Gardner also added some dance episodes.
Dancing not only requires that every point be stepped on with force, but also requires facial expressions and eye movements that are highly compatible with the lyrics.
Compared to singing alone, singing and dancing at the same time is much more demanding.
“Jane, you can wear these long-sleeved clothes during rehearsals, but when it comes to the stage, your clothes are definitely not going to work.”
Selena Lott, with John Lott watching Jane Gardner practice in the dance studio, saw her taking a break and gave her a bottle of water, worried.
Thinking about what Nanny Finn said, Jane Gardner fished open her sleeve again and looked at the healing, still-red skin on her arm, “I’ll figure it out.”
In fact, even if Selena Lott didn’t say it, Jane Gardner knew it very well.
It was just that since she’d last returned from Hot City, Zachary Irwin had been arriving home late at night whenever she returned to Maravilla.
She told herself she’d wait for him, but she was so tired from training during the day that she fell asleep halfway through each wait.
By the time she woke up again to look for Zachary Irwin, he had gone back to work.
And so, for the past two days, she hadn’t seen him in person.
It was hard to ask him about the top doctor Ottilia Amos had mentioned.
In the evening, Jane Gardner returned to Maravilla early.
After asking Nanny Finn what time Zachary Irwin usually came home and seeing Nanny Finn preparing dinner, she remembered that before she met Ivel Day, she had said she would try to learn how to cook for Zachary Irwin.
“Nanny Finn, for dinner today, you teach me how to cook.” Jane Gardner now asked for Zachary Irwin, of course, to show some sincerity to please him.
She, on the other hand, seemed to have no better or cheaper way to do it than to make him some dinner.
“Young lady, you have finally figured out that between husband and wife, this is how it should be, you treat me better today, I will give you something back tomorrow, for a long time, the couple can be good.” Nanny Finn’s eyes lit up and quickly gave way to Jane Gardner.
A face, a smile bright.
Knowing that Nanny Finn had misunderstood, Jane Gardner was too tired to explain, so she listened to Nanny Finn’s instructions and started cooking.
When Jane Gardner was in the kitchen, Nanny Finn quietly called Zachary Irwin and told him that Jane Gardner was making soup for him in the kitchen and asked him to put off some activities and come home early for dinner.
Zachary Irwin hung up the phone in a cold voice, but the corners of his mouth were gently curled.
Quickly evacuating the office, Zachary Irwin understood for the first time what home was.
Home, is someone to cook for you, someone waiting for you to come home for dinner.
Zachary Irwin did not know Jane Gardner’s real purpose, only thought she was looking for a way to apologize for what happened last time. Thinking that he had finally achieved something after deliberately chilling Jane Gardner for the past few days, he raised his head proudly, locked his car and pushed open the door of Maravilla.
“Why are you back so early today?” Jane Gardner had just put a big pot of chicken soup on the table when she saw Zachary Irwin returning.
She blushed slightly at the thought that her plans to deliver chicken soup to Selena LottJohn Lott later had gone down the drain.
Zachary Irwin caught the change in Jane Gardner’s face, and the corners of his mouth, which had been lightly hooked, fell.
Changing his shoes and putting away his car keys, he untied his tie and walked towards Jane Gardner.
“If you don’t want me to come back, I’ll leave right now!”
Realizing that he had just said the wrong thing, Jane Gardner piled up a smile and turned to Zachary Irwin, “Mr. Irwin misunderstood, I do not want you to come back, I especially want you to come back. Come on, you sit down, all the food will be served right away.”
Jane Gardner despised herself in her heart as she pulled out the dining chair and invited Zachary Irwin to sit.
Looking at Jane Gardner with her apron on, Zachary Irwin’s feeling of displeasure disappeared completely.
After washing his hands and sitting down, he looked at the four dishes in front of him and looked at her skeptically, “Did you really make these?”
“Nanny Finn directed it and I made it myself. What do you think of it?” Continuing doggedly, Jane Gardner serves up chopsticks.
“…” Zachary Irwin didn’t take the chopsticks, didn’t say anything, just stared at Jane Gardner.
Trying to see exactly what she meant.
“Is there anything you want to say to me about Hot City?” Halfway through the confrontation, Zachary Irwin asked.
“Say, what?” Jane Gardner originally hesitated to initiate the mention of the doctor.
“…”
“That, actually, I’ve been waiting for you the last few days. Grandma said that she hired a doctor for me and was able to remove this bruise I have, can you take me to the doctor?”
Jane Gardner had been respectful and fearful of Ottilia Amos for the past few years, and when she was asked to choose between Zachary Irwin and Ottilia Amos to contact, she still chose Zachary Irwin.
After all, these days, Zachary Irwin seems to be friendlier to himself.
“So, you did all of this to see the doctor?” His face darkened, Zachary Irwin felt really self-conscious!
“If not that, what else could I have asked you for?” Jane Gardner was puzzled.
Zachary Irwin took the chopsticks with hatred and ate.
After the meal, Zachary Irwin crooked his finger at Jane Gardner.
In normal times Jane Gardner would have ignored it, but today …
She put down her bowl and walked over toward him.
“Are you full?” Zachary Irwin asked.
“Fine.” Jane Gardner returned.
“Want to see a doctor? Anxious to get rid of all the bruises?” Zachary Irwin asks again.
“Hmm.” Looking at Zachary Irwin blankly, Jane Gardner frowned lightly, a little confused.
Didn’t he know all this?
“Pleasing me.” Three words, not salty, softly spit out from Zachary Irwin’s red lips as he finished his meal.
It was obviously a man, but damn, there was something flirtatious about it.
Fists clenched, Jane Gardner put away a coquettish smile and turned around.
Pulling Jane Gardner in one hand, Zachary Irwin raised his eyes, slightly angry, “You don’t want to play in the competition?”
He always remembered Jane Gardner refused himself, and thought she would bow down to him this time, and should obey him, but he did not expect her to turn around and leave.
She could bow down and cook for herself, but she just refused to please herself!
Recognizing this, he was annoyed and puzzled.
“I want to compete, but if I have to do something against my will that I’m particularly reluctant to do, then I’d rather choose another method.” Burning into Zachary Irwin’s eyes, Jane Gardner said what she really thought, without thinking about the consequences.
“Against your will? Particularly reluctant?” Was she really that reluctant to please herself? Needless to say, this statement is even more serious than the previous one.
Zachary Irwin repeated Jane Gardner’s words, his face instantly darkened, and he picked her up and headed for the second floor.
Nanny Finn saw this, her old face flushed, and retreated back to the kitchen.
In the bedroom.
Zachary Irwin stared viciously at Jane Gardner in front of him, “I’m giving you one last chance, it’s not too late for you to back out!”
Jane Gardner’s disgust was evident in her eyes as she struggled to jump down.
No need to answer, he knew her stubbornness.
Stepping closer to Jane Gardner, who was hiding on the edge of the bed, Zachary Irwin grabbed her ankle as he lost his head, “Jane Gardner, you need to know that there are plenty of people out there who are willing to do what you’re not willing to do! Don’t know any better!”
“Yes, who are you Mr. Irwin, you don’t need to hook your hand, just stand there, there are piles of women to stick to you, but I am not them!”
She is his wife, even if she can’t get his heart, she should still get his respect.
The prerequisite for pleasing him is to be in love, in love with each other!
What’s the difference between pleasing unequally and a woman who sells her body for money on the outside?
