Chapter 861

Nicholas was stunned. When he realized what Janice had just said, his expression turned furious. "Janice! What do you think you're doing, throwing tantrums like a child? Do you think marriage is some kind of game?"Janice suddenly felt a deep, indescribable grievance.Why did both Wade and Nicholas see her as so reckless and selfish? Why did they think she was just throwing a tantrum?"I'm serious!" she said firmly.Annoyed, Nicholas stood up. "I think you've been spoiled rotten. Wade's such a good guy. How long do you plan to keep acting like a spoiled child? Besides, why do you think we had to finalize things so quickly? That's because we're going to work closely in business! This is the most stable relationship!"He didn't want to bother with Janice's mood swings. After saying that, he went upstairs.After all, Janice had been carefree since she was young. She would be fine after throwing a fit.There was no need to make a big deal out of it.Janice felt like something was s

Janice frowned and reluctantly turned around.Alicia hurriedly walked up to her. "You're here! Come inside. It's pretty cold out today."Janice pressed her lips tightly. "No, thanks. I have other things to do."She wanted to leave.Alicia chuckled. "Didn't you come here to tell me your wedding dress preferences?"Janice was stunned. "What?"Alicia smiled softly, but a hint of hidden emotion flickered in her eyes. "You didn't know? I'm designing Wade's outfit and yours. After all, I'm a wedding dress designer, so your mom suggested I take care of it."Janice thought this was utterly ridiculous.Her love rival was going to design her wedding dress? As if she wasn't hurt enough already."You don't need to do that." She refused and tried to walk away.But Wade had already approached them. "Your mom told me the outfits need to be finalized. The task has been given to Allie."Janice looked up at him. "Do you think Ms. Newman is being burdened?"Or did he feel that Alicia was wron

Chapter 863

Wade's question sounded like a taunt, even if his expression didn't show it outright. Yet beneath his tone was a certainty, as if he already had the upper hand.Janice couldn't quite figure out what he was truly thinking.Did he believe from the start she could never leave him? Or did he think she was just playing hard to get?She gritted her teeth and enunciated each word, "Do you think I'm joking with you?"Wade didn't reply. His expression was cold. "No need to try on outfits together. I have work to do later."He declined Janice's offer to try on wedding outfits together.Janice felt a deep frustration. She had only said it to stir the pot, hoping to unsettle someone who cared about him.She never expected Wade to refuse.But as she thought about it, it made sense. Wade wouldn't want Alicia to see that scene and feel upset. Of course, he would protect Alicia.No matter what the unloved person did, it made no difference.Janice sneered. Without another word, she turned and

Chapter 864

After all, Janice had only ever had feelings for Wade.Although she was angry that Wade brought up Chad, she also realized that Wade truly didn't care. Even if he suspected Chad had feelings for her, Wade didn't mind at all. That indifference stabbed straight through her pride.All the love she had given in the past felt laughable.Wade didn't want to argue over such topics. He pulled Janice directly to his car.Opening the door, he took out a small item.Janice looked down and saw it was the good luck charm he had once lost—the very one she had stayed up all night hiking to get for him.He actually found it.Wade shook it in front of her. "I found it. Happy now?"He wasn't good at comforting people, but he felt he had done what he could.Janice stared blankly at the charm.After a long moment, she looked away and said, "My gesture's already been trampled on. Digging this back out feels like scavenging from trash. You'll feel uncomfortable, and so will I."She didn't take th

After leaving, Janice immediately called Wade, but he didn't answer. She thought he probably hadn't reached home yet.But all the recent things—especially the wedding dress matter—kept gnawing at her. She felt the unbearable sting of being unfairly slandered, and she couldn't tolerate even a bit of it.She had to confront Wade face-to-face and make him see clearly that she never intended to marry him, nor did she do any of those shady things.She called three times straight, but he still didn't answer.Janice, known for her fiery temper, jumped into her car and sped straight to Wade's house.He had bought a place in Eldoria a couple of years ago, not far from his training base.Both issues needed to be cleared up to avoid any more complications.Janice had a bold and straightforward personality.She drove straight to Wade's place. She had been here before. When Wade was home on leave, she had occasionally visited him.The security guard let her car in easily.Once outside his

After saying that, Janice turned around and strode off.Meanwhile, Alicia's smile froze. She hadn't expected Janice to be so harsh and direct. Still, she quickly brushed it aside. After all, Janice had only said those things because she was jealous.As for how other people would make of this situation, Alicia wasn't worried about it since Janice was the only one who knew anyway.…Janice's ears were still ringing as she stepped out of the building. She never imagined she would find Alicia at Wade's place. She had always thought the step-siblings' interactions were a little too intimate, but stumbling upon this scene felt absurd.Whatever the reason, one thing was clear—Wade didn't care about her feelings at all.Janice no longer wanted to be entangled with these people or their mess. She walked to her car, but just as she was about to get in, another car pulled up beside hers.Wade stepped out, his brows lifting when he saw her. "What are you doing here?"Janice clenched her fi

Chapter 867

Wade put away his phone, frowning slightly at Alicia's question. Still, he felt that Janice's jealousy and suspicion were entirely uncalled for. She couldn't possibly expect him to explain every little thing, especially when her doubts made no sense at all."It's alright," Wade replied.Alicia didn't press further. She disliked talking to Wade about other women anyway.Wade wasn't planning to stay. He turned around and said, "You should rest early. I'm heading back to the base."Alicia stiffened. "You're going there now? You're not staying here tonight?"Wade often felt Janice was unreasonable when she complained. Still, he knew he had to keep a proper distance from Alicia. He couldn't just stay there in Alicia's presence and feign nonchalance. "There are a few things I need to take care of," he said, withholding the details so she wouldn't feel uneasy.Alicia, who had grown up craving security, was sensitive by nature. Wade didn't want her burdened with unnecessary worries.

Chapter 868

"Janice, that's a bit much." Wade didn't want to see her turn into someone so wicked and irrational. "If you feel so sorry for her, then hurry home and comfort her. What are you doing here with me? Aren't you worried about breaking her heart if you leave her alone for too long?"Janice couldn't deny that she had deliberately said those words to provoke Wade. She simply couldn't stand it anymore.Already in pain, Wade's sudden appearance only made things worse.It was impossible for Janice to keep her composure. As her body tensed with anger, the pain in her lower abdomen intensified.Wade noticed immediately. He had long known that Janice suffered discomfort whenever her period came. He furrowed his brows and gently grabbed her wrist to support her. "Do you have any painkillers at home?"He wasn't pretending to care. Wade wasn't the type to put on an act. Yet Janice could sense that something between them had shifted.She knew she could never accept it once their relationship b

The deliveryman asked, "You're Ms. Janice Swanson, right?"Janice nodded."Then I'm at the right place." He handed her the food and hurried off.Janice returned to her apartment, feeling strangely confused.She opened the bag and found an appetizing set meal, still warm. Instinctively, she thought of Wade; he knew she was on her period. As Janice frowned in thought, her phone suddenly vibrated. She flipped it on to see Chad's WhatsApp text."Finish the food, and your pay won't be cut."Janice could almost picture his slightly mocking expression as she read the words. She hadn't expected Chad to notice that she was unwell, and her mood lifted a little.She began typing "Thanks, Boss!" but hesitated. Wade's recent words echoed in her mind, stirring suspicion. Did Chad have some ulterior motive?A chill ran down her spine. Bewildered, she scratched her head before sending a probing message."Holy cow! You can't possibly be interested in me, right?"Chad's reply came quickly in

Chapter 870

Janice had already spoken to Nicholas and asked him to inform Charles about her decision. Yet Nicholas ignored her request. Instead, he kept urging her to complete the marriage registration with Wade.Janice finally had no choice but to make her stance clear."What nonsense are you spouting? Wade has already agreed to everything! Why are you making such a big fuss now?" Nicholas snapped, exasperated.How could Janice call off the wedding when preparations were nearly complete?Charles waved his hand dismissively. "Calm down, Nicholas. Jan probably quarreled with Wade. They've been together for so long. I'm sure they'll reconcile. We shouldn't meddle. It'll be fine."Janice felt sick listening to them. Everyone assumed her relationship with Wade was unshakable simply because of its history. But she wasn't the one who had changed. Wade was.She wasn't going to put up with it anymore."I'm serious about this!" Janice declared firmly. There was a brief moment of silence.Finally,
