Chapter 148
Charles‘ method of asking out Drake was very simple. He asked Jane in the name of work and after hearing it, Drake showed up naturally at the restaurant he reserved.
However, Charles sent another message to Jane on the way and changed the time.
When Drake arrived at the restaurant, he naturally saw Amy waiting in the restaurant.
“Why are you here?”
“Brother–in–law!” When Amy saw Drake, a sweet smile appeared on her face. She stood up excitedly and looked at Drake.
However, Drake didn’t even think about it. He turned around and was about to leave, but Amy grabbed his sleeve.
“Brother–in–law, don’t leave. I have something to tell you…”
This was the peak time for dining in the restaurant. The restaurant was full of guests. Amy’s behavior quickly attracted the attention of others.
Drake frowned, but Amy seized this opportunity and immediately begged.
“Mr. Warner, don’t leave. I really have something important to tell you. I know you hate me, but can you listen to me?”
Because of the gazes around her, Amy did not call him brother–in–law anymore and directly called Drake as Mr. Warner.
Drake brows were so tightly wrinkled that could kill a fly. He finally sat down on the sofa opposite to Amy.
“Speak.” His word was cold and indifferent.
Seeing that Drake is staying, Amy is relieved. She was really afraid that Drake would leave without saying a word.
“Mr. Warner, I don’t know what you like to eat, so I ordered one of them all. Let’s talk while we eat.”
Amy eagerly poured a cup of tea for Drake. When she bent over, she deliberately tries to attract Drake attention.
The man was indifferent and did not even move his chopsticks. “Speak up if you have something to say. Don’t waste my time.”
Seeing that Drake’s face was already bad, Amy said pitifully,”
“Mr. Warner, I may not be able to see you again in the future. My father wants me to marry an old man. This is probably the last time I’ll see you. Why don’t you accompany me to eat a good meal?”
Amy’s voice was filled with sadness and her words were not completely a lie. Because of the necklace, Andrew was furious and mentioned that he wanted to marry her to a rich man. However, he was persuaded by Rosaline..
At this moment, Amy used this as an excuse and looked at Drake pitifully, establishing a character that was tragic and loveless.
Even after hearing Amy’s words, Drake’s expression did not change at all. He was still extremely
indifferent.
“Whether you marry or not is entirely up to you!”
“How can I choose? Although my surname is Bentley, I’m still not his biological daughter. How can he care about my thoughts? As long as I can give benefits for him, he doesn’t care whether I want to marry or not.” Amy cried.
Hearing that, the scene of Jane’s marriage to him appeared in Drake’s mind.
At that time, Jane seemed to have Andrew’s reasons for marrying him.
However, also at that time, Jane seemed to be sincere towards him, but he could not recognize it as he believes that she married him for profit.
“Mr. Warner, I know you don’t like me. I won’t bother you again in the future. I’ll keep my love for you in my heart and keep it forever. So, please accompany me to finish this last meal with you, okay?”
Drake did not care about Amy’s begging, especially knowing that Amy was not a simple–minded woman. He did not want her to pester him even more.
After hesitating for a moment to reject her, Amy’s gaze caught Charles who had brought Jane over.
Afterwards, Amy stood up, walked over and put the vegetables into the bowl but inadvertently overturned the tea on the table and spilled all of it on Drake’s suit pants.
Amy screamed and said apologetically, “Mister Warner, I’m so sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose. I just wanted to serve you…”
As she spoke, Amy had already pulled out a tissue and put it on Drake’s suit pants wanting to wipe it for him.
Drake grabbed her hand not wanting to be touched by her.
At that moment, Jane and Charles stood not too far away from them.
Drake raised his eyes and instantly met Jane’s. Then, he fiercely pushed Amy away.
Charles looked at Drake with a faint smile on the corner of his lips.
“President Warner is also here. What a coincidence. Is this…the Second Miss of the Bentley Family?”
Charles pretended to be surprised when he saw Amy’s face.
Amy also looked at Jane and called her.
“Sister!”
“Miss Bentley, pay attention to your words. I can’t afford to be your sister.” Jane immediately replied, and then looked away from Drake.
However, Charles said again, “Jane, do you mind going with Mr. Warner and his company?”
“No need, we shouldn’t disturb President Warner and this Miss Bentley anymore.” Jane interrupted Charles‘ words and walked straight to a table far away from the two of them.
Charles glanced at Drake with a light smile, and then caught up with Jane.
As soon as the two of them were seated, the waiter brought the menu. Charles immediately ordered a cup of Jane’s favorite coffee.
“I remember that you seem to like this brand of coffee. When we ate before, you always ordered it,” Charles said gently.
Jane’s expression was indifferent and just thanked him softly.
Afterwards, all of the dishes that Charles ordered were Jane’s favorite. When Jane heard Charles‘ order, she knew that Charles was taking care of her and quickly said.
“You don’t have to order all of my favorites, just order some of your favorites.”
“What you like is what I like.” Charles put down the menu with gentleness.
Jane understood Charles‘ intentions, but she chose to ignore this feeling.
Just as they were about to move their chopsticks, a figure suddenly sat beside Jane.
Jane looked at Drake who was suddenly sitting beside her, and coldly said.
“What are you doing here Mr. Warner?”
Hearing Jane’s cold words, Drake knew that Jane must have misunderstood what’s happening. However, at this time, even if he explained, Jane would only feel that he was just making an excuse.
So, he looked at Charles and questioned him darkly.
“Did you tell Amy to come here?”
Hearing this, Charles was stunned for a moment. He shook his head with a smile. “President Warner you’re joking. I don’t know about the dinner of you two.”
“Stop pretending. The reason why I came to this restaurant was because you had an appointment with her. I came to the seat you reserved and the person sitting was Amy.” Drake said coldly.
