Chapter 162 Hurt for Life

Chandler glanced at her indifferently. “Mm–hmm. Let’s go.”

Seeing that he walked off without caring about her, Jazzlyn could not help but call out. “Chandler.”

The way she called out for him sounded like she had something else to say, but it did not make Chandler turn around. With his back facing her, he asked, “What’s the matter?”

Jazzlyn did not get mad that he did not turn around. She said in a delicate voice. “We’re a married couple from today onward. I know this marriage was decided by our grandfathers, so it might be a little sudden to you. It’s very sudden to me as well-”

Chandler turned around and looked at her, saying. “That’s right! It’s indeed very sudden to me. You should know why I agreed to this.”

Hearing what he said, Jazzlyn immediately looked a little embarrassed.

Since Chandler had already told her upfront what he was thinking deep down, Jazzlyn felt that she had to tell him what she felt as well. “I know a marriage without feelings as a foundation is indeed going to be hard for the both of us. But feelings can be developed slowly. As

long as you give me a chance. I’ll learn to be a good wife.”

The glistening hope in her eyes made a faint sneer appear on Chandler’s face. He suddenly moved a few steps closer to her, looked down at her, and said with clear enunciation, “I don’t want to lie to you. I won’t love you. What kind of wife you want to be has nothing to do with

me.”

Upon saying that, he turned around and left.

Jazzlyn’s heart was pounding like crazy as she watched his tall figure walk away.

Chandler’s stunningly handsome face made her heart flutter.

She had never had a crush or longed for a man like this in the past 28 years of her life. When her grandfather, Harold Overton, held up a business magazine and asked her if she was willing to marry the man on the cover, Jazzlyn could not even take her eyes off him!

She was extremely envious to see how perfect Chandler and Alana’s photo was on the cover, and she desperately wanted to be the

woman in it instead.

Without hesitation, Jazzlyn told her grandfather she was willing! She was extremely willing!

Harold laughed and said, “It seems like my dear granddaughter really likes him! Alright, leave this to me.”

Everything went very smoothly. Soon after both their families agreed, their marriage was decided. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Jazzlyn initially thought Chandler might have fallen for her at first sight as well. However, she did not expect that he only did it for his

grandfather.

No matter what, being married to Chandler was a dream come true to her, so, she absolutely would not give up pursuing Chandler!

A man like him would be the center of attention wherever he went, so she must gain an advantage by being close to him!

Harold even reminded her to use her wisdom to control her man and the most straightforward method would be bearing Chandler’s child.

Therefore, Jazzlyn had been longing to consummate their marriage that night! With her face flushed, she quickly walked toward the living

room.

Two hours later, Simon and his father, Andrew, were the first to drive off. The Overton family was also preparing to leave the Frost

residence.

The Frost family saw the Overton family out together, and the Overton family’s driver was already waiting by the car.

Jazzlyn’s mother, Ruby Zanetti, pulled her into the garden and said softly with a slight awkwardness to her voice, “Jazz, I want to remind you that it’s quite tough for a woman when doing the deed for the first time. Just endure it, and it will be over.”

Her mother’s words made Jazzlyn’s flush so hard that her earlobes were also red. She glanced at Chandler, who was not far away, and her eyes were twinkling with the infatuation and bashfulness of a young woman. 1

Ruby followed her line of sight and looked at her son-in–law. She said with a faint smile. “There’s really no helping you anymore. You’ve

only seen him on the cover of the magazine back then, yet you’re already head over heels for him. He almost married Alana at that time. That woman’s family background is very similar to the Frost family’s, but our family is not bad either! We are not as rich as the Frost family. but in any case, we are

descendants of intellects! If he’s bad to you in the future, just tell us. I believe since your grandfather and his grandfather are comrades who are extremely loyal to each other, his grandfather would surely take your side!”

Even il Ruby was extremely satisfied with a perfect son–in–law like Chandler, she was still a little worried!

A man as outstanding as him was too striking. It was inevitable to have vixens trying to get close to him in the future. Jazzlyn had high standards, so she had never dated anybody before. However, she was eager to marry a man she had only seen once. Therefore, Ruby could not help but worry about her only daughter.

Seeing her mother looking so concerned, Jazzlyn smiled and said, “Mom, don’t overthink it. Chandler is already my husband! I believe he’ll be good to me. We had an arranged marriage, so it’s inevitable that we need some time to get along.”

Ruby nodded as she felt her daughter made sense. She glanced at her husband, Frank Overton, who was waiting for her in the near

distance, she said, “Alright. We’re leaving now. From today on, you’re a married woman. You have to be more tolerant of everything. You

can’t be throwing tantrums like a child anymore, and you have to care for his father and grandfather-*

“Stop nagging, Mom. The Frost family might have an opinion if we talk for too long. Just go home. It’s getting late. It’s time for Grandpa to

go home and take a rest as well.” Jazzlyn’s mind was filled with Chandler at that moment.

And Chandler was already looking a little annoyed. It was out of respect for Gaston that he was still standing in place without leaving.

Jazzlyn was afraid that Chandler would get angry because of her family. If he was not in a good mood, then consummating their marriage

later that night would be affected.

Ruby sighed and said, “Alright, I’ll stop. You’ve just married into the Frost family, yet you’re already taking their side. I’ll tell you one last thing–don’t use protection when doing the deed with Chandler for now. His grandfather is looking forward to having a grandchild soon. If

you’re able to give the Frost family a great–grandson for your firstborn, you’ll have a more prominent status in the family in the future!”

Jazzlyn looked down with slight bashfulness and said, “Mom, I know …”

“You have to know why Chandler’s grandfather insists on letting you and Chandler stay here tonight-”

Ruby still wanted to go on, but Frank called out, “Ruby, we should go. It’s getting late. Let’s not hold the children back from getting their

rest.”

As soon as her husband reminded her, Ruby held Jazzlyn’s hand and walked forward.

The families bid each other farewell, then Harold, Ruby, and Frank left in their car.

After the car drove into the distance, Gaston turned sideways while holding his cane and said to Jazzlyn, “Jazz, I’m sorry to make you and Chandler stay at my place tonight. Don’t worry. You’ll be going back to your new home tomorrow.”

Jazzlyn put on a sweet smile. “What are you talking about, Grandpa? This place is great! As long as you’re willing, Chandler and I can keep

slaying here to keep you company.”

“Hahaha. I’m really happy to hear that! Come on, Jazz, come inside with me. I’ll show you to your room tonight. I’ve decorated the room myself Gaston had already turned around. Jazzlyn quickly supported him by his arm and walked forward with him.

Standing behind them, Quentin turned to look at Chandler and saw that he was sending a text. Quentin frowned and said softly. “Come

with me.”

Chandler looked up and glanced at him. “Are you willing to give me the address now?*

“Hmph. Do you think I’ll go back on my word?” Quentin walked toward the living room.

After Chandler saw that his text for Erin had already been sent, he quickly put his phone away and walked in Quentin’s direction with big

strides.

Ten minutes later, Quentin took out an old postcard from the safe in his study and put it on the desk.

“Your mother had sent this postcard from Saeypolis one hundred days after you were born. To my knowledge, she is still staying there right now If you really want to know the truth, go look for her.” Quentin’s expression looked a little complicated. He took out a cigarette. from the pack he picked up from the table.

Chandler’s eyes looked like countless thoughts were running through his mind. There was a catch in his throat, making him unable to

speak.

This old postcard was like the key that was about to open Pandora’s box. His lingers were shaking when he picked the postcard up.

He saw that other than the address, name, and postcode, a line was written on the blank column. “I wish that you’ll be happy and sale for

the rest of your life, my child.”

Other than this blessing, his mother had never appeared in the first half of his life. He had never had a mother’s love like an ordinary child.

Chandler stood in place and stared at the postcard for five minutes without saying anything.

Quentin had been smoking the whole time. It was when Chandler turned around to leave the study that Quentin suddenly said, “Chandler, I know you must resent me for lying about your mother, but I did it to protect you! I also know you might think I’m very hypocritical to say this as well, but I want to tell you that no father wouldn’t love his child-”

Chandler suddenly turned round around and bellowed. “Would you believe the words that came out of your mouth? If you truly loved me.

why did you often want to strangle me to death when I was a child?”

These words that had been buried deep down for so many years could not be retracted once they left his mouth.

Quentin’s hand immediately stiffened, and the ash in between his fingers instantly fell to the carpet.

An unprecedented sense of remorse and embarrassment appeared in Quentin’s dignified eyes. His expression was complicated, and nobody knew what he was thinking about.

Chandler, on the other hand, kept staring right at Quentin’s eyes the whole time. Seeing that Quentin said nothing in the end, Chandler gave up waiting for an answer and turned to leave.

Right when he opened the door, Quentin suddenly said to his back, “Chandler! It was because I was hurt too badly by your mother back.

then. –”

“I’m sorry“, were the words that were stuck in his throat and could not be uttered in the end.

“Listen to my advice. If you could, don’t go looking for your mother. It doesn’t matter that you don’t know the truth because the truth always hurts.”

As soon as Quentin said that, the door to the study was closed. Chandler left.

Quentin looked a little forlorn and heartbroken. It was as if he had gone back to the past all of a sudden. Both his legs felt a little weak, and he sat on the leather swivel chair, looking dispirited.

Staring at the night sky outside the floor–to–ceiling window, he muttered to himself sorrowfully. “Son, love is the thing that easily hurts a person for life! This is the reason I won’t let you marry Erin. I don’t want you to walk in my footsteps
