“Otis, calm down! Last time at your house, we didn’t have anything happen right? Since you were willing to listen to your sister last time, this time, you help your sister and open the car door!” Jane Gardner covered Otis Wilson’s fumbling lips, she wanted to stop him, but was afraid of hurting the child by making too much noise.
“Sister, I’m so hard, you help me first …” Otis Wilson’s body was getting hotter and hotter, his reasoning had been overshadowed by his impulse.
Before, he could hold it back.
But this time, under the effect of drugs, and the person in front of him was the person he had been thinking about day and night, he really couldn’t hold back and didn’t want to hold back.
“Boom!” The glass of the driver’s seat was suddenly smashed.
Jane Gardner pushed Otis Wilson out of the way, only to see a hand reach in and help her open the car door.
Jane Gardner stumbled out of the car and was met by the beady eyes of Zachary Irwin.
She had rarely seen him like this.
She was momentarily stunned.
“Young master, that’s Otis Wilson in the car, and by the look of him, he looks drugged.” Rudolf Bartley walked to the car, looked at Otis Wilson curled up in a ball inside the car, and faced Zachary Irwin.
“Hospital or Civil Affairs, you pick one!” Zachary Irwin had one hand, blood running down his wrist to the ground, but he didn’t care about the wound on his hand.
He looked straight at Jane Gardner, not stepping forward, between them, obviously only a few steps, but in Jane Gardner’s eyes, they are separated by mountains and the galaxy.
Jane Gardner gathered up her hands and closed her eyes tightly.
When she opened her eyes again, the wetness in her eyes was gone.
“First to the Civil Service, then to the hospital.” She understood Zachary Irwin’s words, and she agreed.
This marriage of theirs was really not going to last.
If they divorced at the Civil Affairs Bureau and then went to the hospital for a C-section, there would be no more contact between them in this life.
On the way back to the city.
Zachary Irwin a car, Jane Gardner a car, they finished that sentence, did not communicate with each other.
They didn’t say anything to each other until they reached the Civil Affairs Bureau.
She waited for two hours at the door for Zachary Irwin to get the information that Ottilia Amos had hidden away.
Two hours later, Zachary Irwin came towards her with all the information, his forehead was freshly stained and he didn’t have to look at it to know that he was hit by Ottilia Amos with a cane.
The staff at the civil affairs office seemed to know in advance that they were going to get a divorce, so they just kept their heads down the whole time, skipping all the questioning.
The lobby was busy, with many couples arguing over various issues.
But Jane Gardner listened to the sounds outside and felt the silence.
In her head, she recalled the seven years she had known Zachary Irwin to the present day, and just about finished.
The staff then handed her another red book.
Jane Gardner looked down and saw the same red book with the words “divorce papers” written on it.
She wanted to laugh, but found that she couldn’t even pull the corners of her mouth.
Not only could she pull the corners of her mouth, she couldn’t move her body.
Zachary Irwin didn’t seem to notice that she was out of sorts, he didn’t even look at her and turned to leave.
Jane Gardner doesn’t remember how long she sat in her seat before she got over it, she just remembers that when she walked outside, Rudolf Bartley was already waiting for her in the car.
Next stop, the hospital.
Jane Gardner knew that she would need to be cared for after her cesarean section and her immobility, so she called Nanny Finn.
She told her to come to the hospital today.
When she was out of labor, she would leave The Shine for good and make it up to Nanny Finn for taking care of her.
As for the fact that she and Zachary Irwin were divorced, she didn’t mention it.
When Jane Gardner arrived at the hospital, she didn’t expect Ottilia Amos, who had rarely been out of the garden, to be waiting for her in advance.
And, with an ingratiating smile on her face.
“Girl, that Zachary boy does not know how to do things, grandmother apologize for him to you, just now your stepmother told me, you and Otis Wilson are innocent, she drugged her son, the purpose is to force Zachary to divorce you.” Ottilia Amos has always been quick to do things, Zachary Irwin went back without saying a word, she knew that something was definitely wrong.
So she called to find out, and in just two hours, not only did she find out everything, but she also ruled Shan York into submission.
“The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public.
Jane Gardner knew in her heart that a premature baby would be less healthy than a full-term baby.
But if she hadn’t been unable to live with Zachary Irwin, she wouldn’t have been willing to have the baby delivered early.
She owed a lot to this child, and she was reluctant to come to the hospital from the bottom of her heart.
When Ottilia Amos saw Jane Gardner’s silence, she gave a look to the housekeeper, who brought Shan York over from somewhere.
When Shan York saw Jane Gardner, she uncharacteristically bowed her head and apologized to herself, talking as humbly as she could.
Jane Gardner listened to Shan York’s words and watched the dark glint in her eyes.
She knew that her apology was just a mouthful, and that there was no hint of apology in her heart.
“Since an apology is always a gesture of apology, Auntie, all those unethical things you did to me are simply too numerous to mention, and want me to forgive you, what do you think you need to do?” Jane Gardner was pregnant and backed by Ottilia Amos.
Shan York also feared Ottilia Amos.
She was sorry she had taken so many of her birth control pills if she didn’t get her revenge!
Shan York glared at Jane Gardner with such hatred, her eyes were like knives, that if Ottilia Amos wasn’t there, Jane Gardner was sure she would have come at her.
“Jane, I’ve raised you for so many years, if it weren’t for me, you’d probably be starving to death!” Shan York’s voice was laughing, but her eyes were as hard as they were poisoned.
“It was Moses Gardner who raised me, what does that have to do with you? Auntie, are you going to apologize or not?” Jane Gardner glared back. She wanted to make Shan York feel what it was like to be bullied.
“Yes, I do!” Shan York gritted her teeth, she then bowed ninety degrees to Jane Gardner, “Jane, auntie was wrong, auntie should not have treated you that way, please forgive me!”
“Rudolf Bartley, is that how you say sorry? You teach her!” Jane Gardner did not want to condescend to be a good person, for people like Shan York, she had revenge for revenge.
Rudolf Bartley heard Jane Gardner’s words and looked over at Ottilia Amos again.
Ottilia Amos turned sideways and let the butler help her away.
Rudolf Bartley saw this and, completely emboldened, he stepped forward and kicked Shan York in the back of both knees, who, in pain, fell to her knees in obedience.
Jane Gardner thought of what she had done to Lily Benz and to herself, she bent down and met Shan York’s hateful eyes, “Auntie, this is the right gesture to apologize, and in the future, please remember it! People like you, who have done so much evil, will apologize many times in the future!”
Jane Gardner finished and turned to leave as well, to follow Ottilia Amos.
“Grandma, I’ll keep the baby until it’s full term, but I probably won’t be staying at The Shine or Maravilla. Since I’m licensed this time, I’m not related to him anymore.” Jane Gardner deliberates, then looks up and turns to Ottilia Amos as she speaks her mind.
“…” Ottilia Amos searingly stared at Jane Gardner and saw her resolute and determined, “Good! Since you don’t want to live there, Grandma supports you. However, you are now late in pregnancy, Nanny Finn must stay with you to take care of you, and Rudolf Bartley, must also protect you twenty-four hours a day, Jane, you must understand Grandma, you child, the Irwin family’s first great-grandson, can not be lost!”
With that, Jane Gardner and Ottilia Amos came to an agreement.
Ottilia Amos gave Jane Gardner a villa as compensation for the birth of her child and her divorce from Zachary Irwin, so Jane Gardner and Nanny Finn moved out of The Shine and into another place.
As for Zachary Irwin, from now on, no more passersby.
After Jane Gardner moved out, her new life is simply too good! Every day at home, the air you breathe is fragrant and the mood is beautiful.
Selena Lott knew that Jane Gardner and Zachary Irwin were completely divorced, and while she lamented, she was happy for Jane Gardner.
The two of them mostly get together, either to discuss the new album, or to pass on their child-rearing experience.
Jane Gardner knew that the Irwin family could not give her the baby, she wanted to keep it, but she knew she could not, and she was silent at the thought that she might have to be separated at birth.
“Jane, the album has been finalized, only, declared that you can not show up, the album sales may not be very high, this, I hope you still reconsider?” Selena Lott finished the phone call, she turned to Jane Gardner and said.
In fact, at the beginning, Selena Lott has advised Jane Gardner, she hopes Jane Gardner wait a few more months, when the baby is born, and then show up to promote and release the album.
“I’ve waited a long time, so I’ll just release it. I want to see if I really have the talent to create, and I want to try my standards.” Jane Gardner entered the industry late, and many things were newly learned halfway through.
Many people say she sings well and has talent, but she herself has always been rather vague, and with this album, she wants to determine exactly what path she wants to take in the future.
“Okay, since you insist, I’ll support you!” Selena Lott nodded and gently hugged Jane Gardner, “By the way, I’ve seen Shan York in private contact with Alice Cox a lot in the past two days. I’ve always felt that Shan York drugged Otis Wilson last time, causing you to divorce Zachary Irwin, always related to Alice Cox!”
