Chapter 179
Faced with Drake’s cheekiness, Jane smiled saccharinely and said, “Sleep together… Of course…
She spoke slowly and gently stroked Drake’s handsome face. This almost made him turn into a puddle of mud.
“…Of course…It’s impossible!” Jane’s face changed instantly.
When her words ended, she stretched out her other hand, and with a firm push, pushed Drake out of the room. She then slammed the door shut in his stunned face.
Drake touched his nose, his face darkening. He could only return to his room alone, the corner of his
mouth still in pain.
‘What a stubborn woman!‘, Drake muttered to himself.
The next day, Jane woke up and was about to go to work, but was stopped by Drake who was waiting in the living room.
“We’ll go back to the ancestral house in a while.”
“I’m not going.”
Jane refused simply. She knew the purpose of returning to the old house. He wanted to expose the identities of Zane and Zoe to the rest of the Warner family. Although she had returned with him, she did not agree to let Zane and Zoe recognize Drake as their father.
Even more so, Courtney as their grandmother!
Staying in this mansion was not only for Zac’s sake but also because of the threat from Simon. Now that Simon’s threat was gone, she was already planning to go back to her apartment, so how could she agree to Drake’s request?
“Mom already knows about Zane and Zoe, are you sure you don’t want to go back? She’ll still come here if you don’t. Or do you want her to find them directly and bring them with her to the ancestral house?”
“Don’t even think about it.” Jane once again transformed into a hedgehog with spikes all over her body.
“Also she mentioned that if you don’t want her to keep Zac with her, then obediently return to the ancestral house with me,” Drake replied lightly.
Hearing that, Jane’s face darkened. She knew that it was not that simple to come back to that house. She had not yet resolved the ‘Drake‘ problem, the huge ‘Courtney‘ problem came.
“Okay!” The words of agreement came out of Jane’s mouth through gritted teeth.
After breakfast, they packed up their belongings. Before leaving, Jane especially talked to Zane and Zoe in their room.
“Zane, Zoe, you already know the truth. You and Zac are indeed biological siblings. Mom apologizes for not telling you the truth earlier. Things were very complicated back then, it can’t just be explained with a few words. The thing is, if you guys want to recognize your father and grandmother, Mom has no objections. No matter what decision you make, Mom will respect it.”
Jane thought through it very thoroughly. If the two children wanted to recognize Drake as their

father, she would not stop them. However, their relationship would only stop as them being parents to their children, nothing more.
These days, many couples did not divorce for the sake of their children.
After Jane finished talking, the two children looked at each other but did not say anything. Instead, they were a little thoughtful.
“It’s alright, you guys think it slowly. You don’t have to make a decision too quickly.” Jane comforted softly.
Then, she told the two children about their trip to the old house, and that they should not be so cautious when facing Courtney. If they did not want to recognize her as their grandma, then they could just treat the same as before.
The two children’s emotions were very complicated. They did not know how to deal with the situation at hand.
On the contrary, Zachary, since knowing the truth, had been calling Jane ‘Mother‘ since last night, saying it whenever he got the chance.
In the morning, he greeted Zoe and Zane without any grudges. His attitude was even more eager than before, not to mention how he was treating Zoe,
When he still did not know the truth before, he directly treated Zoe as his sister. Now, it was even
worse.
Although Jane persuaded the two children, she was actually very uneasy in her heart. She did not know how to face Courtney, let alone how to address her.
Just as they were all in deep thought, the car drove into the gate of the ancestral house and stopped
at the entrance.
Drake got out of the car, opened the door for Jane, and carried the three children out of the car.
At the door, the butler was already waiting for them. When he saw them get out of the car, he respectfully greeted them.
“Sir, Ma’am, welcome back. Your mother is in the living room.”
After greeting Drake and Jane, the butler bent down again and said to the children.
“Welcome home.”
Zachary was still very familiar with the butler. When he was by Courtney’s side before, the butler had taken care of him a lot.
Jane was also not unfamiliar with the ancestral house. When she walked into the hall of the old mansion, the staff greeted her one after another, making her feel a little uncomfortable.
After they were seated, Courtney also appeared. She was wearing a light blue dress and light makeup. She moved with gracefulness and elegance. Even if she was in her early sixties, she still took care of herself properly.
She walked over slowly, with a gentle smile on her face.
“Grandma!” Zachary rushed over.
“Hey, Zac,” Courtney responded and pulled Zachary to the sofa.

Meanwhile, Zoe and Zane were right beside Jane. Seeing Courtney sitting down, they got up slowly, looked at each other, and greeted her one after another.
“Hello, Grandma Courtney.”
“Hi, Grandma Courtney.”
Courtney’s brows frowned slightly at their addresses, but she still responded with a smile.
“Hey, come over to Grandma.”
Hearing this, Zane and Zoe hesitated for a while, but they still walked in front of Courtney.
Courtney smiled and reached out to caress the two children’s cheeks, especially Zane’s. She stared at his face for a minute before muttering.
“Grandma should’ve realized it sooner. You looked so much like your grandfather, I should’ve made the connection a long time ago.”
Hearing this, Jane finally realized how Drake was able to know about Zoe and Zane’s identity. It was because of her.
Withdrawing her hand, Courtney raised her hand at the butler, who walked over with a red sandalwood box.
She opened it and took out a pair of imperial green jade pendants.
“This is a gift from Grandma. Take care of it.”
The jade pendant was of very good quality and was considered to be of high value. The two children did not accept it immediately.
Zachary immediately echoed, “Take it, Zoe. This is a family heirloom given to us by Grandma. I have
it too.”
Hearing this, Zoe looked at Jane, but Jane could not choose for her.
In the end, Zane took the jade pendant and said to Courtney.
“Thank you, Grandma Courtney!”
