“Some other time, I have work today.” Zachary Irwin grimaced and spoke half-heartedly.
Jane Gardner remembered that he was indeed in a meeting before he came to The Shine, and she nodded gently and said, “Okay.
Jane Gardner watched his back as he walked away and bent down to get into the car.
When the car was about to start, Mary Gardner suddenly rushed out from nowhere, she grabbed Jane Gardner’s car door, face dyed with anxiety, Jane Gardner saw this, let the driver wait for her.
“Sis, for the sake of dad going soon, can you give me a sum of money?” Mary Gardner saw Jane Gardner get out of the car. She pinned her hair behind her ears and her face was all embarrassed.
“You know, my career hasn’t been going very well since I started out, plus all this time, that bitch Kailee Cyrus betrayed me, she spread a lot of news against me on the Internet, my career is basically over.
And you are different, you are now pregnant with the Irwin family’s child, to wind to wind, to rain to rain, I so little money, for you but a drop in the bucket.”
Mary Gardner mentioned this, and her face showed her envy and jealousy of Jane Gardner.
“How much money do you want?” Jane Gardner looked at Mary Gardner and she asked.
“Not much, three million. I am pregnant with Mr. Zhang’s child, only he is afraid of the mother tiger in his family and does not dare to acknowledge me and my child. But there’s no way I’m just going to let this go! When I go abroad to give birth to the child, then he can’t do anything even if he doesn’t admit it!” Mary Gardner mentioned that Mr. Zhang, all hatred for him.
“So, you want money now, just to go abroad to have a baby? Does Shan York know about this?” Jane Gardner’s life is impossible to make peace with Shan York.
But Mary Gardner, she can consider, as a repayment to Moses Gardner.
“She was determined to make a career out of me in the entertainment industry, but I tried, and I’m not even that type of person. I thought about it, since I can’t do it on my own, why not just find a man with the same money and power as my brother-in-law?”
Mary Gardner shook her head, she knew exactly what Shan York expected of her, and if she knew what she was planning, she would not let her off the hook.
“Please, I promise, once I go abroad and have the baby, I’ll never go against you again in my life! Sis, what Dad just said, have you forgotten?” Mary Gardner said to beg, really gave Jane Gardner kneeling.
Jane Gardner looked at Mary Gardner’s face and remembered that she used to make mistakes and begged herself to help her out like this. For most of the past six months, they had quarreled and fought, but did she really hate her?
No, she hadn’t hated Mary Gardner.
“I can give you the money, and you can have the baby in secret, but you have to promise me that you can’t interfere with other people’s families or ruin their lives.” Jane Gardner disapproved of Mary Gardner’s reliance on children to tie men down, and even more so when she used them to threaten others and destroy their families.
But she knew that Mary Gardner had had an abortion, and if this one was aborted again, she might not be able to have children for the rest of her life, so that’s why she made this request.
“Fine! I promise you! Sister, thank you! And, please don’t tell my mother about this, she will definitely kill me if she knows!” Mary Gardner got what she wanted and stood up happily.
Jane Gardner looked at Mary Gardner’s back as she left and wondered if she had done anything wrong.
That night, Moses Gardner died.
It was three o’clock in the morning when Jane Gardner got the call from Mary Gardner.
“Mom and I are at the funeral home right now, sis, you’re pregnant, so you don’t have to come over for now. The day of the funeral, I have left the country, you then, if you do not want to confront my mother, do not go.” Mary Gardner finished her words.
Jane Gardner looked out the window, no longer sleepy, her mind inside, all the memories of Moses Gardner and her, as a child, after growing up, she had resented him, blamed him, but also loved him, respected him, understood him.
All the grudges and grievances, people die for the big, the past, so let it go with the wind.
The day of Moses Gardner’s funeral.
Dragon City was filled with warm sunshine.
Jane Gardner was not going to come, but Ottilia Amos knew about it and took the initiative to arrange it for her.
Zachary Irwin and Jane Gardner never told Ottilia Amos about their affair.
So Ottilia Amos didn’t know from the beginning to the end that they had broken off their relationship.
“Sister?” Jane Gardner was standing in the middle of a circle of bodyguards surrounded by Rudolf Bartley at her head.
Abruptly, she heard a familiar and unfamiliar voice.
“Sis! It’s really you!” Otis Wilson was dressed in a black shirt, and his face, which was originally boyish and cute, was now angular and had eyes that were much bolder than before.
“Otis?” Jane Gardner looked at the handsome boy in front of her, and then associate the memory of the timid and shy boy, can not believe that the two people are the same person.
Otis Wilson, the second son of Moses Gardner and Shan York and brother of Mary Gardner.
He left home to train five years ago, before Jane Gardner married Zachary Irwin.
He was a member of the provincial swim team and has been competing everywhere over the years, not coming home much each year, and even when he did, he didn’t get a chance to meet Jane Gardner.
When Jane Gardner was at The Shine, she heard news reports that Otis Wilson had won a gold medal at the Winter Olympics this year.
She had to say that Shan York was not a good person, but Otis Wilson was kind and good, not at all like her.
Before he went out for formal training, Jane Gardner was closer to him, and as a child, Shan York often did not give her food to eat, and it was Otis Wilson who secretly brought her cookies and snacks.
“Sis, we haven’t seen you for years, I really miss you!” Otis Wilson was so excited that he tried to peel his way through Rudolf Bartley’s man-sized fence, but was stopped.
“Otis, what are you doing! You’re your father’s only son, and you’re not coming over here to carry your father’s ashes!” Shan York also saw Otis Wilson, and she grimaced.
Otis Wilson heard Shan York call himself, fondly waved to Mary Gardner, and pointed to the phone, meaning that afterwards cell phone contact.
Jane Gardner watched him walk away a little, not planning to contact him again, not to mention telling him that her cell phone number had long since changed.
“Shed?” Zachary Irwin accompanied Mary Gardner early in the morning, as Ottilia Amos had requested, but he stayed in his car the entire time until Otis Wilson showed up.
“Are you busy today?” Jane Gardner didn’t reply to Zachary Irwin, desperate for a divorce.
Naturally, Zachary Irwin heard her, and he put his head away, “Busy! There are several meetings later.”
“Then let me know when you’re not busy anymore.” Jane Gardner didn’t know if Zachary Irwin was deliberately not going to get his divorce papers, or if he was really busy.
As the baby grew and her movements became more regular and frequent, Jane Gardner’s sense of urgency grew.
If she didn’t divorce Zachary Irwin before the baby was born, she was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to let go of the baby after it was born.
Compared to Jane Gardner’s urgency, Zachary Irwin is a lot more relaxed, his day to day, what to do or what to do. He says he’s busy, but he still gets to work on time, and he walks with Jane Gardner, without missing a day.
“I’m at the lake right now, I’ll come and see you?” Jane Gardner was resting in the pavilion when she received a call from Otis Wilson on her cell phone. She listened to Otis Wilson’s mid-range voice and wondered where he got his phone number.
Zachary Irwin was nearby, taking in Otis Wilson’s words. When he saw Jane Gardner looking at him, waiting for an answer, he nodded.
Otis Wilson was Jane Gardner’s brother, and it was logical that he could not be faulted for coming to The Shine to visit Jane Gardner.
“Wait a minute, I’ll have someone come get you.” Jane Gardner got Zachary Irwin’s reply, hung up the phone and turned to him, “Thank you, I don’t know how he got here, can you send Rudolf Bartley to pick him up?”
Zachary Irwin heard, took out his cell phone, and asked Rudolf Bartley to pick up the man.
“How come I didn’t know you had a brother? But, to be clear in advance, you are not related to him, he is not considered your real brother, and I don’t want to see that kind of thing last time.” Zachary Irwin thought about the way Otis Wilson had looked at Jane Gardner the day of Moses Gardner’s funeral, and it didn’t sit well with him.
They were both men, and Zachary Irwin knew, with just one glance, that Otis Wilson had more than just sibling love for Jane Gardner, as far as Jane Gardner was stupid and didn’t know anything.
