Chapter 171
Chapter 171
When Jane returned to Germany, the first thing she did was to see Zachary
“You’re finally back, teacher. I miss you so much!”
“I miss you too, Zac. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have left without saying goodbye to you.” Jane replied. guiltily.
“You can’t leave secretly from now on, teacher. If you do, take me with you, okay?” Zachary said a little embarrassedly.
Hearing this, Jane felt even more guilty. She wanted to escape too, but it was probably impossible now. The man, 303, Drake had arranged by her side was gloomy and indifferent, but also very capable. It was too hard to escape!
Just as Drake guessed, Simon did not intend to let them go easily. During the process of returning to Germany, while the airport was crowded, some of his men wanted to take this chaotic moment to kidnap Zoe and Zane. 303, on high alter, thwarted their plan.
However, because there were so many people at the airport, the perpetrators ran away. However, she also witnessed the strength of 303.
The two children also witnessed his might. They were now in front of 303 and asked him various
questions.
“Why are you so powerful, mister? Where did you learn it? Can I learn it too?”
“How long does it take to be as powerful as you are?”
“And what was that trick you did at the airport?”
With 303’s strength, Zane, who had always been smart and taciturn, had asked a hundred thousand whys. His sister, Zoe, was also not much better.
Throughout all this, 303 had been stoic and silent. After a while, he finally stated that if Zane wanted to learn his skills, he must have Drake’s consent.
Hearing that, Zane was in a bind. Although it was already clear that Drake was their father, he had no intention of recognizing him as their father.
Zane, who did not want to have a relationship with his scumbag dad, went directly to Jane, who was talking with Zachary, to ask for permission.
Hearing that he wanted 303 to teach him fighting skills, Jane was stunned for a moment. After a while, she neither agreed nor refused.
“If you want to learn, baby, then Mom has no objection. I just want to ask you, are you interested in it or do you just want to strengthen your body?”
Jane knew that Zane was not good at sports, so there was only one possible reason why he wanted to learn this now. He wanted to learn this to protect her.
Of her child’s decision, she felt distressed. She blamed herself. After all, she was not strong enough, inevitably putting Zane under such a lot of pressure.
Hearing his mother’s question, Zane looked down. ‘Sure enough, he could not hide anything from his
mother.‘
Chapter 171
“I want to learn, Mom. Also, learning self–defense skills can not only strengthen me and cultivate my character, but I can also protect you and Zoe. It’s beneficial for all of us.” Zane replied seriously.
Jane hugged Zane into her arms and said consolingly, “I don’t have any objections to you learning it, baby, but it’s very hard and tiring. Mom doesn’t want you to put so much pressure on yourself. I will work hard to protect you and Zoe.”
“I understand, Mom,” Zane said but he could hear the tactful rejection of Jane’s words.
“It seemed that he really had to find his scumbag ‘father‘.
Zachary saw Zane’s disappointed expression so he said, “Teacher is right, Zane. It’s really tiring. You definitely won’t be able to persevere.”
“You’re wrong. As long as I put my mind on things, I could definitely accomplish it.” Zane replied, unconvinced.
“Okay, then let’s have a competition. When Dad comes back, I’ll talk to him about this. Let him send us together. Let’s see who can last to the end.” Zachary said, all geared up.
He was also very interested in learning.
Ignoring most of what Zachary said, Zane’s attention was now focused on the ‘Dad‘ part. His words implied that Drake was not only his father but also Zane’s and Zoe’s.
But he had no plan on recognizing that ‘pig‘ yet!
Drake only returned to Maplewood Mansion the day after Jane and the children returned. He looked a little haggard.
Jane originally wanted to ask him what was the cause of his delay, but seeing him so tired, she did not inquire anymore.
In the meantime, because she was away for so long, her studio had accumulated a lot of things waiting for her to deal with.
Because of her busyness, by the time she noticed anything was amiss with Drake, two weeks had passed.
On this day, when she returned from work and wanted to cook for the three children on a whim, she
saw Drake walking inside wearily.
She did not want to talk to him at first, but thinking that the two of them were under the same roof, it was impossible to be silent the whole time. She could not help but ask him.
“I’ll cook in a while. Do you have anything you want to eat?”
“I’m fine with anything.” Drake looked up, met her gaze, and said calmly.
Hearing that, she did not ask anymore and went straight into the kitchen to cook.
Drake looked at her back for a while, hung up his coat, and followed into the kitchen.
“There are cooks here, why do you want to do it yourself?”
“I just thought of it. Also, maybe my cooking skills would be a little rusty if not used for a long time.” Jane said as she cleaned the ingredients.
“I’ll help you,” Drake said warmly. He stepped forward and rolled up his sleeves.

Chapter 171
After returning from abroad, Jane and the two children lived in this mansion. When she proposed to return to her apartment, Drake rejected it.
He said that she must live here, otherwise, she would never see Zachary again.
The reason why Jane agreed to come back with him was because of Zachary. If she could not see him, she might as well run away.
In the end, she agreed to live in Maplewood Mansion and teach her three children earnestly. Aside from that, though, she was still cold and alienated from Drake.
The two of them were washing vegetables in a sink. The silent atmosphere became awkward so Jane took the initiative to talk.
“You seem to be very busy recently, and you’re very tired every day. Is there something wrong with the company?”
Not only Drake, but Jane herself was very busy.
“Yeah.” Drake just replied lightly, which made Jane lose the mood to continue the conversation.
