All Chapters of Loveless Marriage: My Dear Ex, Please Conduct Yourself with Dignity : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Zephaniah cast a glance at her before he put it back into the cart. “You should apply it to your legs before you sleep at night. It can reduce swelling.”“Then, don’t buy this. The pillow I usually sleep on is quite good.” She took another one out.Zephaniah put it back calmly again. “This one’s material is more special. You’ll feel more comfortable.”Jade was standing at the side while watching him talking to the shop assistant, and she could not join the conversation.In the end, the two of them went out with nothing. Because they purchased too many things, the shop agreed to deliver the stuff to their doorstep.They only chose a few pieces of clothes for the babies. Zephaniah said they were not in a hurry and would come to buy them next time.The nervousness in Jade’s heart eased a little.He could easily make her fluttered. And she felt like a marionette. A few moves and words from him could make her forget all her grievances and dissatisfactions.But she had no strength to

Jade stayed at home for the whole day. In the evening, her mother pulled her out to buy some groceries.When they got downstairs, they saw Zephaniah’s new car. The driver immediately got out of the car when he identified Jade. “Mister Owens has something to settle these two days, so he will not be able to come over for now. I’ll be in charge of chauffeuring you.” The driver appeared quite professional, but Jade could not help but have some doubts.“Even Gilberto and Gemarya are busy?”The driver was stunned before he raised his head and calmly said, “They’re outstation with Mister Owens.”Jade’s gut instinct told her that something had to be wrong. She did not get into the car. Instead, she walked to the supermarket with her mother, while the driver continued to follow her from behind. Jade’s mother turned back and glanced at him a few times before she blinked. “Zeph is usually careful, but he wouldn’t ask someone to keep following you. Has anything happened? You should call hi

Jade felt a little upset. She opened her mouth, and her voice became subconsciously gentle.“Don’t change the subject. You… asked the driver to follow me. Did something happen?” She lowered her voice. The other two watched her as she talked, so she felt slightly uncomfortable. Zephaniah had seemingly walked out of a noisy place. When he spoke again, his background sounded very quiet.“Just be careful.” He paused for a while before he added, “Don’t think too much. I just wanted to make sure that you were safe.”Jade hemmed. She peered at Greyson, who was sitting at the office desk with his legs crossed, and she frowned.“I heard that something happened in the company. Is it a very troublesome issue?”Jade was not familiar with finance. Back when they were still staying together, she often saw him sitting in front of the computer for one to two hours during the weekend. Looking at the complex lines gave her a headache, so she still found her own job more handy.Zephaniah stood at

They arrived after two hours. Jade considered for a while before she decided to give Zephaniah a call.Zephaniah was slightly surprised, and he became silent for a while. “I’ll get Gemarya to pick you up from the airport. You can go to the hotel first.”His voice sounded cold.Jade’s heart sank, and she immediately said, “No need. I haven’t visited Seagan City for a long time. I’ll go out and walk around first.”“You should still let Gemarya keep you company. I’ll go to you once I finish my work.” As he spoke, she suddenly heard a female voice on the other end. The woman told him that it was about time.Zephaniah did not respond, but Jade could sense that he had nodded.Jade appeared normal. After she hung up, she stood at the airport and stayed there for a while as she thought about where she wanted to go.Greyson had arranged everything very properly. Shortly after, a driver came over and picked them up straight away.The big screen outside the airport was showing a press con

Her features were similar to Maple’s, but she looked more mature and elegant. She projected an outstanding temperament, and when she showed up, she was able to catch people’s eyes firmly.Heidi smiled and nodded slightly as she politely reached out. “Hi.”“Miss Howells, you look the same in person as you do on the television.” They shook hands, and Heidi opened her eyes wide, appearing confused.“The press conference… When you answered the questions that those reporters raised in the live broadcast,” Jade explained.She suddenly felt her waist being held tightly. Zephaniah lowered his head and got closer to her. “Did you watch it?” He smiled as he whispered.Jade gazed at him out of the corner of her eyes. She did not quirk her brow, and she even smiled. “You’re thinking too much. I accidentally saw it at the airport. I just glanced at it.”Zephaniah blinked. He lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips.“It’s okay. The glances don’t matter much.”Heidi subconsciously

Jade felt helpless in the face of his intimate touch every time. She would touch him without realizing it, and he would kiss her passionately all of a sudden. Whenever it ended, he would still look sober. But she would blush and quiver, while her lips would become red and swollen.The period inside the elevator was extremely short. When the door opened without warning, the flustered Jade pushed Zephaniah away. When a few people who were waiting for the elevator saw the scene, all of them were stunned. Very quickly, some of them held back their laughter, while some of them pretended as if they did not see anything. They respectfully greeted Zephaniah beside her, “Mister Owens.”They were the staff members of his company.Jade could not wait to grit her teeth and run away.However, Zephaniah still had his hand locked around her waist. He appeared aloof as usual, and he seemed a little unhappy because of the interruption. He nodded slightly before he held her out.Jade dared not turn

Blanche guided the coffee into the hands of Zephaniah’s mother.“No matter what, if she’s made the trip to Seagan City, she should have come to visit you. She’s getting bold. You gave her a call, but she was not willing to answer.” Her eyes were full of scorn.Zephaniah’s mother glanced at her, and she immediately cowered.Sitting under the tree in the courtyard of the Owens family, her lady boss’ aura remained unchanged. Her expression was cold as she stroked the jade ring on her finger.“It’s not up to her since she’s here. Tonight, I’m going to make her face reality. It’s not easy to be a daughter-in-law in the Owens family, and her current status is insufficient.”Blanche’s eyes brightened. Of course Jade did not stand a chance. When she looked at the women around Zephaniah, who else was qualified aside from her?“Mrs. Owens, do you need me to do anything?” She looked extraordinarily obedient, but she could not hide the strange lights in her eyes.Zephaniah’s mother did not

“It’s starting soon. Let’s go down.”Zephaniah held the nook of an arm out, and her slim and fair hands were wrapped around his arm. Two of them walked out to the well-decorated banquet.When the main characters appeared, they immediately attracted the attention from the guests in the hall. The reporters did not even let go of such a good chance. The flash of the camera was on by the moment they walked in.It took them five minutes to walk from the entrance to the most interior of the hall.“Who is this lady beside you, Mister Owens?”“My wife.”“How long have you been married? Your wife looks like she’s pregnant. Did you get married because of her premarital pregnancy? Any hidden agendas?”“That will remain private.”…… The questions were raised one after another, but Zephaniah took care of them all.Gemarya and Gilberto came quickly to usher the reporters elsewhere, and the remaining questions were answered by someone else.Heidi smiled as she walked over. She nodded to J

Jade did not show any expression, but she found it sarcastic.Heidi’s smile was decent, and she said calmly, “I just showed up. I didn’t really offer any practical help.” She cast a glance at Jade before she continued saying, “Miss Redfern is pregnant, but she still came to visit Zeph. I am so touched.” Jade smiled. She knew the fire would go after her now.Indeed, Zephaniah did not take the bait. His mother started to blame Jade. “You don’t stay at home and take good care of your babies, and you even wander around. Is this how you display your responsibility toward the babies? As a mother, you naturally need to prioritize your children.”“Mum, many of your good friends are here today. Why don’t you go and meet them?” Zephaniah said calmly before he looked at Heidi again.Heidi took the hint and blinked. She pulled Zephaniah’s mother’s hand and smiled. “Exactly. Let me bring you over. Mrs Flynn even mentioned you to me just now.”But Zephaniah’s mother seemed to become determine

Roman’s thoughts ran deep. How was it possible for her to see through him so easily?Roman habitually touched his silver-grey sleeve. His gaze was profound, and he flashed a smile.“Naturally I am… concerned. After all, Mister Owens and I are old friends,” he said, his voice not lacking sincerity. “I just feel that Zephaniah’s mother is quite mean, especially on you, Miss Kirk.”Blanche did not work in the business industry for a very long time, but she had followed her father since she was small. She often saw such sly foxes. At least half of his words were hidden beneath motives, and whatever he did here was to get benefits. Dealing with him would not earn her any benefit.She folded her arms, quirked her eyebrows, and said, “Thank you for defending me against the injustice, but this is my personal fight. I wouldn’t want to trouble you.”Roman nodded and rubbed his chin. He looked as if he understood, and what he said next struck her sore point. “You’re really generous, Miss Kir
