Jane Gardner listened to all of Steven Irwin’s stories, but she had never imagined that he, at John’s age, had become a team leader of those world elites.
As soon as she heard him recounting the bare shoulders of those she had never been exposed to before, she didn’t even have to think about it to know how dangerous those things were.
Although Steven Irwin has always stood back and relied on his computer to get involved.
“Guarantees don’t work, begging your mommy doesn’t work, Steven Irwin, my words are clear, don’t you make me lock you up!” Zachary Irwin was also adamant on the matter.
He never thought about what Steven Irwin would do when he grew up, and it didn’t matter what he did, but his choice had to be made with maturity and deliberation.
How old is Steven Irwin now? No matter how smart he is, he’s still just a kid!
Steven Irwin heard no chance, he escaped and could not escape, he gambled to shut his mouth, not a word.
After returning to The Shine, father and son were still bargaining.
Jane Gardner was in a quandary as she watched Zachary Irwin assign a 24-hour guard to Steven Irwin’s door, and the upstairs and downstairs were reinforced with people to monitor Steven Irwin.
She sighed and went into her room.
Zachary Irwin waited for Jane Gardner to come in and pinned her against the back of the door.
His voice was hoarse, “Still worried about Steven Irwin?”
“I don’t know which one of you is right or wrong.” Jane Gardner hangs her arms around Zachary Irwin’s neck, cherishing their time together and not wanting to part with him.
Even if she is a bit upset at the moment.
“I’m your husband, so naturally I’m right!” Zachary Irwin picked Jane Gardner up in his arms and together they entered the bathroom.
Noon.
Jane Gardner was nestled deep in Zachary Irwin’s arms. The bodyguard kept knocking on the bedroom door, and Zachary Irwin asked in a muffled voice what was going on.
“Young master, young lady, it’s not good! The young master has escaped!” The bodyguards were also baffled, they had three shifts this morning, and a whole lot of people were seamlessly watching Steven Irwin, how come several hours had passed and he was still missing!
Jane Gardner heard that Steven Irwin had run away, and with a jolt, she immediately got up from Zachary Irwin’s arms, “Steven ran away?”
Zachary Irwin nodded as he got out of the blanket, dressed in a few clicks, then pulled out her clothes for Jane Gardner, turned around and followed his bodyguard out.
Jane Gardner thought of the conflict between father and son in the early hours of the morning, she held her forehead, but finally dressed as fast as she could and went downstairs.
When she got downstairs, Snowly Gardner stood timidly in front of Jane Gardner, “Aunt, I’m sorry I let Steven Irwin go!”
Jane Gardner heard Snowly Gardner’s words and she bent down and pulled her aside, “What did you say? Did you let go?”
Snowly Gardner has been peaceful and well-behaved since she moved in, and she knows she made a mistake this time, and she feels guilty and sorry for Jane Gardner.
So after letting Steven Irwin go, she took it upon herself to confess her guilt.
“Auntie, if you’re angry with me, don’t be smothered, just kick me out, just help me rent a good house and give me some living expenses, I can take care of myself and won’t come in front of you again. As for that money, consider it what I owe you, when I grow up and go to work, I’ll pay you back.”
Snowly Gardner looked timidly at Jane Gardner with wide eyes, she said.
Jane Gardner was amused by her look, “Auntie isn’t angry with you, it’s just, Snowly, promise me you won’t do something like that next time, okay? Steven’s brother he’s still young, he could be in danger if he runs out, and your aunt keeps him locked up for his own protection.”
Snowly Gardner was already aggrieved, and now when she heard Jane Gardner say so, she felt even more that she had done wrong.
She huffed and puffed and cried, raising her hand to wipe the tears from her eyes, “I’m sorry, Aunt, I was wrong! I promise you, I won’t do that next time!”
Jane Gardner helped Snowly Gardner fix her bangs. She took her to the table, asked her about her recent studies, and gave her some food to eat before her mood gradually recovered.
Jane Gardner didn’t have much of an appetite, and she ate a few brief bites before Zachary Irwin returned.
“Well? Did you find anyone?” Jane Gardner asked.
“He’s as good as a monkey, once he slips away, how else can we find him!” Zachary Irwin loosened the cuffs of his shirt as he washed his hands and sat down at the table, annoyed on his face.
“I’ve seen what White Lightning can do, don’t worry, with him with Steven, Steven will be fine.” Jane Gardner raised her hand to cover the back of Zachary Irwin’s hand, she was comforting him, but also comforting herself.
“We’ll just have to let him be now!”
After the meal, Snowly Gardner was taken to the playground by her nanny.
Although it was the weekend, Jane Gardner had to go to the set in the afternoon, so she simply dragged Zachary Irwin to accompany her to see the lake while she still had some time.
Zachary Irwin, who knew Jane Gardner had always loved The Shine, grabbed his jacket and put it on for her as they strolled to the lake, hand in hand.
“Aren’t you going to be staying after this return? Has the situation been mapped out on Amy Anderson’s end?” Jane Gardner asked.
“Well, in the future, I’ll stay by your side and not go anywhere.” Zachary Irwin pinched Jane Gardner’s nose, his eyes deep, “After you kill this drama, I will help you enroll in a school to re-enter the music, I know, you joined the entertainment industry, in order to avenge someone.
Between acting and music, it’s the music you love more.” Zachary Irwin regrets why he sent Jane Gardner to Alice Cox in the first place and ended up putting her on the hook for that life, causing her to feel guilty and blame herself all the time.
Jane Gardner looked at Zachary Irwin with emotion as she gave a small nod of her head.
I can’t remember how long it’s been since they’ve been together like this.
Jane Gardner and Zachary Irwin are lying on the couch, holding each other, looking at the lake together, wishing they could freeze their lives in this moment.
Finally, Zachary Irwin saw Jane Gardner going to the set, and he drove her there himself.
And, brought a carload of fresh fruit and pastries to the crew.
Everyone’s jaw dropped at the moment they saw Zachary Irwin.
“This is my wife, who has taken care of all of you during this time, and today’s fruit and pastries are my thanks to all of you.” Zachary Irwin held Jane Gardner’s hand as he graciously announced Jane Gardner’s identity.
Not a girlfriend, not a fiancée, a wife.
In Zachary Irwin’s mind, there were many women he was engaged to, but the only one who could really be his wife was Jane Gardner!
“I’m mistaken, right? Is he Zachary Irwin? Isn’t he dead?”
“The world is crazy! Jane Gardner is really Zachary Irwin’s wife! They are standing right in front of me right now!”
“It’s not quite dark yet, so I’m not seeing a ghost, am I? If Zachary Irwin is alive, is everyone else on the plane still alive too? Am I dreaming?”
Jane Gardner did not blame them for being so surprised, she took Zachary Irwin’s hand, stood on tiptoe and kissed him gently on the chin, “There is no mistake, no madness, no ghosts, and no dreams, he is Zachary Irwin, he is alive!”
