Janice Sanders, who had fallen butt first to the ground, did not know why Jared was in the room. When Jared suddenly appeared, she was so shocked that she blurted, “J-Jared, why are you here?” Jared did not care about her. He kept searching the room but could not find the woman whom he was looking for. He turned his hand to grab Janice up from the ground. “Where’s Gwen? Where’s Gwen?!” Janice was frightened by the madman, hence she stammered, “Jared, Gwen… She couldn’t take it after hearing the news of her mom’s passing last night, so she jumped out the window after losing her mind. I couldn’t pull her back…” ‘The splash that I heard when I came in was her jumping into the sea!’ Jared thought. He let go of Janice and staggered toward the window, where he looked down at the sea with a pale face. “Gwen, Gwen, how dare you! How dare you die without my permission!” ‘No! ‘She mustn’t die! ‘She has so much to explain, and she owes me a child, so how can she die?! She can’t!’
Jared withdrew his hand right away, and he stared with bloodshot eyes at the lifeless corpse for some time before he uttered while gritting her teeth, “No, this isn’t Gwen! Don’t try to fool me with someone else’s corpse, I won’t believe it!” ‘How could Gwen become like this? This must be fake, it’s fake!’ He pushed the bodyguards back into the water and roared like a trapped beast, “Go look for her again, go! If you can’t find Gwen, don’t come and see me!” Janice stopped him. “Jared, Jared, don’t do this. This is Gwen, she couldn’t have survived after being out at sea for three days and three nights; the waves were huge! God has already blessed you by letting you find her dead body, so please stop being so stubborn, okay?” Who knew, Jared turned his hand and pushed her away. “You’re lying to me!! How could Gwen die? She still owes me many things, and she hasn’t explained anything to me, so how does she deserve to leave? I’m going to find her, I’ll go find her myself!” Follow
Jared Crawford was still indifferent as though he was an emotionless robot. “Yes, get the butler to arrange it. Let’s have it in one week’s time.” Janice was overwhelmed by immense joy. She had waited for many years, and he finally agreed to marry her! She could not describe how elated she was at that moment, so she cried tears of joy while she held Jared’s hands. “Thank you, Jared, thank you for willing to take me as your wife. I’ve been waiting for this day for a very, very long time…” Nonetheless, Jared still stared with hollow eyes at the ceiling. Nobody knew what he was thinking. …… The news of Jared marrying Janice was soon spread to Grandpa Crawford. The old man was so furious that he pounded his walking stick on the ground. “B*stard! B*stard! Gwen had just passed away, her funeral hasn’t been held, and it hasn’t even been seven days. How could he marry another woman? Is he crazy?!” In order to prevent the Crawford family from losing another backbone, the butler quic
The butler simply smiled politely and ignored Janice’s bark. He left the study after putting down the cup of coffee, leaving Janice to rage on her own. He followed Jared to the courtyard, but the wind was strong due to the heavy rain outside. “Mr. Crawford, the wind is too strong outside. You haven’t fully recovered after being discharged from the hospital a while ago, so you should go back inside.” “She said something similar in the past,” Jared suddenly uttered. The butler was startled. However, Jared kept staring at the falling rain as he took a trip down the memory lane. “When we were still studying at university, she would always run to my class when it rains to give me an umbrella. She never cared if she was caught in the rain — she was always so silly.” He suddenly smiled, and his pale face glowed as though he was yearning for something. “She always brought me a towel and a bottle of mineral water whenever I played basketball; she spectated every single tournament I pl
Jared Crawford was dispirited. He neither cared about his company nor left his room nor ate. Nobody could get him to leave his room — it did not matter who tried to persuade him. Jared found a diary among Gwen’s belongings, and he had been crying and laughing at it for a few days. He sat on the ground below the windowsill and held the wooden figures that were carved by Gwen. Once again, he flipped through her diary, which felt extremely heavy to him. …… [23 September 201X. [Happy!!! [Today is the day Jared and I are getting married. He’s on his way to pick me up, and I’m so happy yet nervous that I don’t know what to do. Mom suggested that I keep a post-marriage diary. She has kept one in the past, and she only stopped writing when Dad passed away. [I’ve decided to keep this diary, and I’ll write until either me or Jared dies one day! [It never occurred to me that I’ll actually become Jared’s wife one day, so I thought I was dreaming when Mom told me! [Mom and Grand
The day before the wedding, Jared Crawford’s butler was ordered to make a trip to the Sanders residence. The Sanders family was bustling about at that moment for the wedding. When the butler arrived with a team of people, Janice’s parents welcomed them with joy because they thought the people had dropped by to send some gifts. In the end, the butler informed Janice’s parents that the wedding was canceled. Janice had stayed in her room because she wanted to be reserved, but she was perturbed after hearing the news, hence she dashed out. “The wedding’s canceled? Why?” The butler replied to her word by word, “It’s Mr. Crawford’s idea.” “I don’t believe it! Jared told me that he wants to marry me! How can he change his mind the day before the marriage?” Janice shouted because it was too absurd and too unbelievable, “I want to meet Jared! Now!” “Mr. Crawford doesn’t want to see you.” The butler shook his head. Janice yelled furiously, “You dirty dog! Get lost!!” The butler w
Once Jared Crawford’s butler was done settling the matter, he returned to the villa to report to Jared on the completion of his task. “Mr. Crawford, Miss Sanders has been taken away by the police, but she doesn’t admit that she killed Mrs. Crawford — she insists that it was a suicide.” “Get to the bottom of it.” Jared seemed to have changed into another person overnight. He was initially only harsh and indifferent, but he had suddenly become sharp and grim like a sword from a scabbard, which was incredibly sharp. The butler could not help but lower his head. “I will.” However, there was no proof that Janice killed Gwen and no trace could be found at the scene. Due to the lack of witnesses and material evidence, Janice was released after being in jail for three days. The first thing she did after she was released was to find Jared at the Crawford villa! Janice used to have full access to the place in the past, but just as she wanted to enter this time, she was stopped by t
“Uncle, can you help me get that?” Someone with a baby’s voice called out to Jared. When Jared lowered his head to look, he saw a fair-skinned and exceptionally adorable little girl, who was roughly 3 years old. He became soft-hearted at once and handed her the pudding that she wanted. The little girl had great manners, so she thanked Jared after she received the pudding, “Thank you.” Jared asked after some thought, “Are you Lou?” “Uncle, do you know me?” The little girl widened her eyes. “I saw your parents looking for you, so quickly find them and don’t make them worry.” Jared guessed it right. A cute little girl like her definitely had a mom who liked to act childishly. Lou pouted her lips and responded, “Did they finally remember their daughter? I thought they only saw each other! Okay, I should go back to them. Bye, Uncle!” “Mm, goodbye.” Lou hopped away. Based on what she said, Jared figured that her parents were very much in love. Jared watched enviously as the
