Jane Gardner drifted off and hurriedly went to check her handbag to find that the note Jack Oak had given her was indeed missing.
“You took the note for yourself while someone else was packing my things, Mary Gardner, that note didn’t do anything for you! Please give it back to me!”
“I know it doesn’t work for me, so, isn’t that why I’m here for you?” Mary Gardner listened to Jane Gardner’s clearly elevated voice, and coldly hooked her lips.
“I know you’re a champion now, blazing hands can be hot.”
“What do you want?”
“I want to share resources with you, all the resources Ascension Entertainment gives you, you have to take me with you.” Mary Gardner hated the thought of all the crap the company gave her.
Since no one cares about her, she has to fight for them herself.
“What makes you think I can take you on? Mary Gardner, if you want resources, beg Ivel Day to give them to you, and in the future, don’t call me!”
Jane Gardner finished to hang up the phone.
“Jane Gardner, don’t you want the address anymore?” Mary Gardner knew Jane Gardner had always wanted to know about her mother and couldn’t believe she really didn’t want the address.
“Someone else gave me the address, and since the note is gone, I’ll just call again and ask for it.”
Mary Gardner looked at the hung-up phone and stomped her feet in anger.
Ivel Day picked up her coffee and brought it to her lips with a leisurely gesture, “She didn’t say yes?”
“Hmph! She thinks she can find Lily Benz just because she has the address?” Mary Gardner gritted her teeth.
“So what’s your plan again?”
“I’ll let my mom arrange that. Ivel, on the other hand, I’m counting on you for my resources!” Although Mary Gardner is the runner-up, one place away from Jane Gardner, but the treatment fame is a far cry.
Other than that, it is the media attention.
Jane Gardner now has reporters squatting everywhere she goes.
On her side, even if she stands in the square, no one gives her a second glance.
“Zachary’s attention is on Jane Gardner now. I told him about our relationship during the final, but he still chose Jane Gardner in the end.”
Ivel Day mentioned the finale when she finished with Zachary Irwin on one foot and he left the stage on the other.
“I thought you said how much he doted on you! Why can’t you do something like that!”
Mary Gardner is anxious, after reprimanding Ivel Day, realizing that she was quick to speak, she hurriedly changed her smile and pulled Ivel Day’s hand, “Sister Ivel, don’t think too much, what I mean is that since brother-in-law is starting to pay attention to Jane Gardner, we have to find a way to pull him back, lest he really end up falling in love with her …”
“No! The person Zachary loves will always be me!” Ivel Day could not hear such words, delicate and beautiful face instantly grimace.
“Now love is you, but what if …” Mary Gardner deliberately said this, so that Ivel Day to help themselves against Jane Gardner.
Ivel Day was really anxious.
She does not want to deal with Jane Gardner, is her handle is still in Jane Gardner’s hands.
She was afraid that she would be disliked by Zachary Irwin before she could get rid of Jane Gardner.
Jane Gardner’s side.
After hanging up Mary Gardner’s phone, she immediately approached Jack Oak on WeChat.
Jack Oak also resent Lily Benz’s address to her.
After confirming the receipt of the address, Jane Gardner then went back to Maravilla with peace of mind.
“Young lady, you are finally back!” Nanny Finn saw Jane Gardner return and eagerly greeted her, “Why didn’t you come back last night? Did you not know that the young master had prepared a cake and a meal for you to celebrate last night?”
Jane Gardner was changing her shoes and putting her bag away, “Are you sure he did it for me?”
“Perhaps, he had a sudden craving for cake?”
“The young master never eats sweets, so how could he suddenly want to eat cake. Young lady, I guess you will come back tonight, so I prepared the dish that young master prepared for you last night, you wait, I will call him right away.”
Nanny Finn was so happy that she turned around and was about to call Zachary Irwin.
Jane Gardner hastily pulled her back and said stiffly, “He has a meeting tonight, so we’d better eat by ourselves and not disturb his work.”
“I didn’t know I had a meeting tonight!” Zachary Irwin pushed the door open and looked hard at Jane Gardner.
“…” Jane Gardner is embarrassed and silent.
At the dinner table, Nanny Finn was happy to see the two of them eating at the same table.
One dish after another was brought to the table.
Jane Gardner put her head down and ate her own meal, not deciding to explain her little lie earlier.
Zachary Irwin didn’t ask, but frowned slightly when he saw her picking on the greens.
After the meal, Jane Gardner went to take a shower.
Zachary Irwin watched TV in the living room.
Nanny Finn did the housework.
Maravilla was in rare harmony and quiet.
“Young lady, it’s still early, have some cake before you rest.” Jane Gardner came out of the bathroom and Nanny Finn was standing in front of her with the cake.
She looked at the plain dark chocolate cake without any decoration and did not understand what Nanny Finn meant.
“This is the cake the young master ordered for you yesterday, to celebrate your winning the championship.” Nanny Finn explained.
Jane Gardner sniffed, looked at the cake, then looked at Zachary Irwin on the living room, “I’m not eating.”
Zachary Irwin received Jane Gardner’s sight and heard her words.
He immediately got up from the couch and took the cake from Nanny Finn, “I fed the dog the cake yesterday, Jane Gardner, please don’t make a fool of yourself, I didn’t prepare this cake for you!”
“That’s better!” Jane Gardner sneered, turned around and went upstairs.
She didn’t want to get tangled up with Zachary Irwin, who was getting divorced anyway.
“Stop!” Zachary Irwin looked at her eyes which were obviously unruly, and took her hand, “The cake is not prepared by me, but it is Nanny Finn’s intention, you must eat it!”
He said, and brought the cake to Jane Gardner.
The attitude was strong.
Nanny Finn did not expect that a cake could trigger a war between two people.
She went to pick up the cake and tried to ease their relationship.
But Zachary Irwin is angry and won’t give it to Nanny Finn.
Jane Gardner knew Zachary Irwin’s temperament and knew that if she didn’t eat, she wouldn’t be able to sleep well tonight.
She turned around and took the cake, then took the spoon from Nanny Finn and scooped up a spoonful and ate it.
Zachary Irwin saw Jane Gardner eat the cake after all, and the fire she was harboring was lifted.
“Now, can I go?” Jane Gardner was physically and mentally exhausted, and she had really had enough of Zachary Irwin’s authoritarian dominance.
In the bedroom.
Jane Gardner lies on her side on the bed.
Zachary Irwin felt a warmth in his heart as he fixed his eyes on Jane Gardner’s towering comforter by the dim lamp.
He also laid down on the other side, and when he did, he noticed that the drawer next to the bed was half open, and something was exposed inside.
Zachary Irwin bent down and pulled the drawer open, only to see a pregnancy test stick spread all over the drawer.
And each one, there was only one red bar.
He seemed to see through these pregnancy tests, Jane Gardner’s life alone in the bedroom for the past three years.
Once, she secretly loved herself, secretly expecting to be able to carry their child.
And secretly, after each test, secretly disappointed.
Zachary Irwin couldn’t tell you how he felt at this moment, wrenching Jane Gardner’s back to his body, his fingers cupping her chin and forcing her lips open.
He bent his head and pressed his lips to hers.
Jane Gardner did not resist, nor did she open her eyes, allowing Zachary Irwin to repeatedly grind her lips.
It was only when Zachary Irwin’s breath grew rougher that she frowned lightly and opened her eyes.
“That hurts.” She said.
“It hurts, doesn’t it? Then why didn’t you know how to love yourself back then!” Zachary Irwin was angry. If Jane Gardner hadn’t had an abortion, if she hadn’t been unruly, how could they have come this far?
“I’m tired.” Jane Gardner didn’t bother to argue, looking up at Zachary Irwin, she looked him in the eyes for the first time and put her hands gently over his face, “Zachary Irwin, I admit that I have secretly loved you for seven years.”
“This marriage of ours, I resisted at first, until I saw you, I was relieved to stay in Maravilla.”
“I thought that we would be able to say good morning to each other every morning and hug each other good night every night like other couples, but for three years, all the expectations I had of you have been consumed.”
“Before I didn’t know that you turned out to be in love with Ivel Day, didn’t know that you had a home outside, I thought you were simply busy and simply didn’t like me.”
“I also thought that as long as I was pregnant with a child, you would one day be able to accept me.”
“Then I realized that everything was what I thought.”
“I’m tired of fighting with you and Ivel Day, I have no evidence to report what I did to me, and I can’t use the same means to get back at her.
“As for you, I can’t afford to love, and I don’t dare to love anymore.”
“Let’s get a divorce.”
