If Jane Gardner were still in good health, he would have told her everything, but the way she was now, Zachary Irwin couldn’t take any chances.
He grabbed her hand up and brought it to his lips and kissed it gently as his eyes continued to stare at the road ahead, “Don’t get any ideas, nothing’s going on, the Maravilla is our matrimonial home after all, and besides, it’ll be easier to come back in the future if you live there.”
“Is it really just that?” Jane Gardner raised an eyebrow.
“What else could it be?” Zachary Irwin tugged at the corner of his lips as he took the time to give Jane Gardner a smile.
Jane Gardner saw that Zachary Irwin had an answer again and again and didn’t press the issue any further.
When they got to Maravilla, looking at the familiar furniture, the familiar scene, Jane Gardner’s memories from six years ago came flooding back.
So did Zachary Irwin, but Zachary Irwin couldn’t come here more than a couple times a year at that time, and most of his memories here were vague.
“Young master, young madam, miss has just fallen asleep, do you need me to go and carry her out?” The maid saw Jane Gardner and Zachary Irwin coming over, she hurriedly wanted to go back to her room.
“No need, don’t wake her up, I’ll go check on her.” Jane Gardner remembered Xin Ruwang’s chubby little face, her heart softened into a piece, gently pushing the door of the room in the direction of the maid open, she tiptoed in, afraid of waking Xin Ruwang.
But her action still woke up Xin Ruyan, Xin Ruyan wow wow cried loudly.
Jane Gardner picked her up with a mixture of guilt and pity.
Xin Ruyan seems to smell Jane Gardner’s flavor, once in her arms quickly fall asleep, so Jane Gardner holding Xin Ruyan, accompanied by Zachary Irwin, sat for a full hour.
Zachary Irwin looked at Jane Gardner, Jane Gardner looked at Xin Ruwang, time passed quickly, Zachary Irwin could not bear to finish, the maid’s meal was ready.
“You go ahead and eat, I’ll hold her for another nap.” Jane Gardner saw the maid come to urge them to eat, she turned her head sideways to Zachary Irwin and then twisted her head to look at Xin Ruwang.
She really liked Xin Ruyan too much, and when she thought that she was the crystallization of her love for Zachary Irwin, she couldn’t help but look at her adorably.
“I’ll hold her to sleep while you go eat.” Zachary Irwin knew that Jane Gardner’s hands must be exhausted, and he carried Xin Ruwang over to him, ready for Jane Gardner to go eat.
But as soon as Sin Ruwan was in his hands, he woke up instantly and was all kinds of dissatisfied, pushing him a little and crying for Jane Gardner.
Jane Gardner knows that he left the last few months, Xin Ruyan too insecure, she could not bear it in her heart, and then took her into her arms.
Almost a year old Xin Ruwang to Jane Gardner’s arms, instantly stopped crying, she still can not speak, raised the meat of the two small hands, dead grasp Jane Gardner’s cheeks on both sides, “mom ….”
Jane Gardner was the first time she heard Xin Ruyan call her “mom”, she was shocked, staring at Xin Ruyan in disbelief, “Baby, what did you just call me? Call me again.”
This time, Xin Ruyan didn’t make a sound, but she stared at Jane Gardner with round eyes that didn’t move for a moment, and her hands changed from grabbing her face to grabbing her hair.
“Zachary, did I really just hear you right? She called me mom?” Jane Gardner couldn’t get a reply from Sin as she wished and hurriedly looked at Zachary Irwin.
Zachary Irwin also heard Xin Ruyan open her mouth to call Jane Gardner for the first time and said it clearly.
He hugged Jane Gardner and swept her waist hard in his direction, “Yes, she called you mom. Back in the day, that brat Steven Irwin called Mom the second he opened his mouth too!”
Although Zachary Irwin usually didn’t say anything and was strict with Steven Irwin, Steven Irwin was brought up by him, and his feelings for him were deeper than anyone else.
Now watching Xin Ruwang grow up day by day, he also misses Steven Irwin more and more.
Jane Gardner and Zachary Irwin stayed with Xin Ruwang for a while, and finally handed over to the maid before they went to eat.
On Jane Gardner’s first vacation since her training, Zachary Irwin stayed with her at Maravilla, never leaving the front door, just keeping them company.
On Sunday, Jane Gardner was awakened in the morning by a loud noise, and she was about to get up when Zachary Irwin by the curtains stopped her.
“Did I wake you? It’s a little noisy out there, but I can fix it soon, so go back to sleep.” Zachary Irwin said, tucking Jane Gardner’s covers around her.
“What’s going on? What’s with all the people?” Jane Gardner yawned, she hadn’t been idle yesterday even though she was on vacation, consolidating what Jack Oak and Wen Bai Ning had taught her.
They both said that the most important issue for her right now was to find her own musical identity.
Her voice was good, and she could sing any type of song, but she just couldn’t make it memorable.
To put it bluntly, there was nothing memorable about her songs or her voice.
“I don’t know who let out the news that you’ve stayed at Maravilla, and when those media reporters outside found out, they all piled up at the door, wanting to get some pictures of you and me.
Don’t worry, I’ve asked Andy Winters to take care of it and they’ll be gone soon.” Zachary Irwin said this to Jane Gardner, but he knew in his heart.
Those media reporters outside might not leave for a while.
Now an hour had passed since he had called Andy Winters to handle it.
In the past, as long as he gave a word, the media reporters would definitely pull out within half an hour.
Today was an anomaly.
“I haven’t been in the public eye much since I got back, and I disappeared for months after The Creator ended, so how did they find me all of a sudden?” Jane Gardner wondered as well, she hadn’t been warm and fuzzy all these years.
Although there were appearances, but none of them caused a big battle.
This time …
“Did the Civil Affairs Bureau leak the story of our license over there?” Jane Gardner kept up her habit from six years ago when she thought about the fact that she was once again in the media’s crosshairs, surely thanks to Zachary Irwin’s blessing.
Zachary Irwin had thought about that possibility, but his gut told him that if someone really wanted to break the news, they would have already done so, they couldn’t have waited until now.
“Probably, just bear with me a little longer.” Zachary Irwin smiled bitterly as he didn’t tell Jane Gardner about his suspicions.
He gently helped her pin her broken hair behind her ear, his voice gentle, “If you can’t sleep, then I’ll have breakfast brought in, is there anything in particular you’d like to eat?”
Jane Gardner’s heart still beats faster as she listens to Zachary Irwin’s gentle voice and looks at his handsome face.
She raised her hand and hooked her finger like Zachary Irwin, and when he came over, she hung her arms around his neck, “Yes, I want to eat smooth, tender egg custard …”
“Egg custard later, for now, have a little for your husband.” Zachary Irwin cupped Jane Gardner’s chin, his eyes reflecting Jane Gardner, all of them so strong and deep that they couldn’t be broken.
Jane Gardner saw Zachary Irwin’s eyes, all the words could not be said.
Only, her face, a little bit red, became hot.
Obviously, she had known Zachary Irwin for so many years, but she didn’t know what was going on, Jane Gardner’s heart always beat faster when she met him, and she was as shy as a young girl.
