All Chapters of Loveless Marriage: My Dear Ex, Please Conduct Yourself with Dignity : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Zephaniah was stunned before he smiled brightly. “You can scream for me. I won’t feel pain after I hear it.”The corner of Jade’s eye twitched. She did not understand his logic.“You’re already injured to such an extent, yet you’re still loquacious!” Jade glanced at Zephaniah calmly as she unintentionally said that.It was only after a while that the dressing was done. His upper body was covered with bandages. Zephaniah found it very awkward, and he frowned more than when he was injured just now.He had no shirt to wear, so the doctor was kind enough to take out a clean shirt and gave it to him, but Zephaniah was stunned and did not accept it.Jade knew that he despised him.She smiled and said, “Maybe he feels uncomfortable now. Please pass the shirt to me. I’ll make him put it on later.”The doctor did not say much before he went away to treat other patients.Zephaniah glanced at the washed shirt blue-white strips in her hand before he turned his head to the side. He looked a

Zephaniah carried Jade out from the car, and he let her sit on the rock by the side.Jade recalled that his shoulder was injured, so she felt a little guilty and glanced at him.The sea breeze had ruffled her hair up, and some strands touched her lips. She raised her hand to flick her hair, but before she touched it, Zephaniah already reached out.His fingertips moved across the side of her face. Her fair, smooth skin turned red under the sunset. Her long lashes and straight-edged nose made her features more profound and exquisite.He curved her hair and tugged at the back of her ears. He did not take away his hand. He touched her ear while his gaze was deep and focused, as if he wanted to commit her to his heart.“If she had pierced my heart today, what would you do?” Zephaniah said calmly, without emotion. But his fingers were still moving around her ear, and she was starting to enjoy it.Jade was slightly taken aback. She had never thought about this question before. She only

When his strong scent that enveloped her wafted away, the temperature in the surrounding seemed to drop, and she was slightly not used to it.A knock came at the door. It was only after Zephaniah answered before Gemarya came in with dishes.How long was he at the door, listening to everything?Jade awkwardly lowered her head.After Gemarya set the food properly, he stood at the side. Jade was waiting for him to go out when she realized that he was staying there.“Mister Owens, there’s a document that needs your signature…” Jade raised her head. Zephaniah nodded slightly, and he followed him out.At the door, Gemarya’s expression immediately changed. “It’s been confirmed that Blanche will not be waking up anytime soon. The Kirk family is making noise now. I’m afraid the media will receive the news soon.”Zephaniah’s expression darkened. His gaze was dark, and his emotion could not be seen clearly.“What about the police station?”“There’s no problem for the time being. Gilber

Jade blinked. She studied Zephaniah intently. Although his handsome face looked slightly tired, he did not look unprepared. After the incident with Emmie last time, she knew that she could not think of him to be as simple as she used to.“Do you have a plan?”Zephaniah closed his eyes and turned his head to the side. He put the pillow behind her down, pursed his lips, and did not answer.Jade grabbed his arm. Her face morphed to a calm look from the nervous look she previously had. “Someone is deliberately pulling strings at the back and blowing things out of proportion, right?”Zephaniah discreetly exhaled, and he held her hand. “Dragon’s Ascent is a big company, opposition parties are inevitable. But it’s not that serious. It’ll be fine after this thing dies down. The PR in Dragon’s Ascent is still very capable.”Jade stared at his minute expressions, and she released his hand after a few seconds. She did not mention it again, but that was just for show. Jade’s father came

When Jade listened to their conversation, she moved her eyes around before she looked at her father. “Dad, why are you here? I think you haven’t been here before.”Jade’s father was still having trouble thinking straight, but he already realized that he had caused a lot of trouble for his kid. He lowered his head silently. When Jade asked him, he raised his head, blinked, and tried his best to think about it. He slowly frowned.“It’s fine if you can’t recall. It’s alright.” Whe Jade saw him suffering, she could not bear it and put him at ease.Martin was aloof as he stared at Jade’s father, and a smile was just starting on the corner of his lips. “When I saw him, he was muttering to himself. Maybe he was thinking about someone he used to know.”As he said it, something flashed across his eyes discreetly, and his tone was flat.“Someone he used to know.” Jade quirked her eyebrows.“Yes, he mentioned a name. Do you still remember?” He turned back and asked Jade’s father.Jade’s

“Do you want it?” Zephaniah’s husky voice was heard in her ears, and Jade inadvertently let out a hum. But she realized it in the next second, and she immediately shook her head again.Zephaniah chuckled. He got close to her ear, teased, and stared at her under the blanket. “Are you not feeling hot?”Jade closed her eyes regretfully, but she still did not answer.Zephaniah chuckled darkly. “If you still don’t come out, I don’t mind doing it again.”Jade instantly pulled open her blanket, and she stared at him angrily. What did you say?”Zephaniah suddenly leaned in, and his nose almost touched her nose. “You’re here. Could it be that you still want me to do it myself?”Jade gritted her teeth, and she could not wait to punch his face.“I don’t care how you do it.”Zephaniah fell silent for a few seconds. He stared at her as if he wanted to see her through.“Are you unsatisfied with me?” He immediately looked troubled and frowned. “There are still two more months…” Jade drew

When Jade saw him looking calm, she quietly took a sip of water and did not talk anymore.At times like this, she could not understand him. Was he pretending to be relaxed so that she would not feel worried, or did he really have a plan?In the evening, the three members of Redfern family went for a walk in the garden of the hospital. Jade’s mother suddenly talked about Madam Ford.“She went back home and rested for a few days, and she almost fully recovered. I’ve asked Zeph before. He said he paid her medical expenses and mental loss. I called her yesterday. When she picked up, before I could say anything, she said that she had found a new boss and would not be coming to our place anymore. I guess she was terrified!” Her mother initially talked like a normal chit-chat, but Jade suddenly turned her face to her.“When was she discharged?” Her mother thought for a while. “She woke up on the day after the car accident, and she left after a while. She just had a mild concussion, so

When Zephaniah saw that she could not afford the joke, he did not continue making fun of her. He schooled his expression and said gently, “Gemarya went to handle the discharge formalities. We’re going back later.”Jade opened her mouth in surprise.Zephaniah started to pack her personal stuff. In a while, she was lifted up and carried onto the wheelchair. Her parents were already waiting downstairs. “It’s not even a week after she was injured. Can she go back?” Jade’s mother was worried as she looked at her.“The doctor will come and check on her every day. The caregiver will also follow us back and take care of her. Please don’t worry,” Zephaniah said softly.When Jade’s mother heard it, her expression became softer. She lowered her head and ordered Jade, “After you go back, you can’t do any monkey business anymore. Your body and the babies are not able to afford any torture.”“Mom, the car is here. Please get into the car first. Jade and I will wait for Gemarya to come here,”

“You underestimate Emmie’s feelings for Roman Saul. I will make her take the initiative to deliver Stewart’s property to me, and I will not get less than what I’ve lost to Roman.”Jade had no doubts in regards to his confidence at all, and she understood that the meeting the next day had to be held.“I will not ask Gemma to come tomorrow. It’s more important to do your things first.”Zephaniah smiled faintly. “It’s alright. I will need Mister Briggs to help me. Besides, we can also invite the neighbours. We moved in a long time ago, but we haven’t met them yet.”Since when did he start to care about not having met the neighbours?The next day, the new caregiver and Jade’s mother started preparing the food for the guests early in the morning.Gemma was also pregnant, and pregnant ladies could not eat many things, especially anything with heavy taste. Therefore, half of the food in the courtyard was arranged as barbeque, while the other half was food with light taste.The white ta

Emmie narrowed her beautiful eyes with the ghost of a smile. “You put a high value on this property of our Stewart family, but you might not understand that this market is hitting a plateau now and not much money can be earned from it.”Mister Briggs and Zephaniah looked at each other before he smiled and said, “You’re too humble, Miss Stewart. The Stewart family is recognized to be very good in this field. Regarding making money, we should look at the long term development. I think Mister Stewart also considered it when he first started doing this.”Zephaniah did not expand. He was calm and confident, but he also looked like he did not care whether she agreed with it.The investment in the high-technology industry was huge, while the payback was unknown. But without such support, reliance on only real estate and engineering was not sustainable in the long run.Something flashed in Emmie’s eyes. She hesitated for a while before she asked, “What did you do previously, Mister Briggs?
