Chapter 182
Jane also hesitated because of Drake’s words and took a few steps to get closer.
Charles’s face once again regained its smile. “Jane and I are friends; it’s not unavoidable to call them by their first names; don’t you think so, Jane?”
Charles looked at Jane and said it shallowly.
When Charles’s words were thrown over, Jane didn’t know how to reply and could only digress.
“Didn’t we say we’re here to talk about cooperation, so let’s talk about the problems with cooperation?” Jane walked towards the seat on the conference table in diameter and sat down, then peeled over the cooperation documents on the table.
Charles shallow smile on his face, because Jane diverged from the topic and instantly faded, is like overturning the altar of five flavors in general: bitter and sour!
Drake, however, slightly raised the corners of his mouth in a more pleasant mood and then also blandly said
“Since Mr. Charles is here to talk about cooperation, let’s have a good chat. I’m going to take care of the rest of the work first.”
After saying that, Drake even walked to the side of Jane and gently held and touched Jane’s hair for a bit, gently doting on her.
“We’ll go grocery shopping at night after work and come home to make food for the kids.”
With these words, Jane really had no way to refuse; if Drake said he would take her to dinner, she would definitely refuse outright, but cooking for the children, how could she refuse?
Therefore, Jane did not say a word, and in the eyes of Charles and Drake, it was a disguised promise.
As Drake left the conference room with a spring in his step, Charles’s face looked bad.
When Drake left, Charles took his seat. A pair of affectionate eyes then looked at Jane, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally opened his mouth.
“Jane, why did you suddenly disappear for so long? I messaged you and you didn’t pick up the phone. when I called.”
Jane was back home before she messaged back those who had messaged her on Weixin and other
contacts.
During the half–month that she fled from Drake, she didn’t even contact anyone except for Jasper and April, which also included Charles.
When Charles asked about this, Jane used a preconceived excuse to perfume Charles.
“I’ve been out of the country for a while, and I’ve been busy with work stuff, which is why I neglected to send you guys messages to me.” Jane said
“You’re out of the country? With Drake?” Charles asked again.
Jane hesitated and nodded.
Hearing this, Charles’s eyes surfaced with thick disappointment, which Jane took in and couldn’t help but sigh in her heart.

Chapter 782
She wasn’t a fool; how could she not understand Charles’s mind? But what if she did? She wasn’t
able to give any response.
“Mr. Charles, let’s talk about things like cooperation,” said Jane as she opened the file with the intention of digressing.
Charles, however, was unforgiving and continued to press for the result he wanted.
“Jane, can he accept that you have two children? And he was already engaged to Annie and had a son, so you don’t mind being with him without any problem?”
Charles’s follow–up question made Jane a bit baffled, while at this moment in the office, Drake was sitting at his desk, looking at the conference room monitor on the computer screen, and when he heard what Charles said, his originally pleasant face instantly became gloomy.
What a stinking man with a deep heart! How dare he badmouth him in front of Jane?
“Mr. Charles, this shouldn’t have anything to do with work.” Jane didn’t want to tell everyone about herself and Drake and didn’t look good at Charles’s questioning.
“Jane, I just care about you; you know how I feel about you well; I actually like you since the first time I saw you.”
“Mr. Charles, I’m already a mother; there are some words that we should stop in our hearts; this way, it’s good for each other, can we?” Jane interrupted Charles’s words and spoke with a pale expression.
Looking at Jane’s serious look, Charles’s heartfelt words that he wanted to say could only be swallowed back, but he was filled with sadness.
As for Drake in the office, after hearing Jane’s words, his gloomy face instantly turned cloudy again, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but rise.
After discussing the matter of cooperation, Charles got up and left the Warner group. Drake also walked out of the office to see him off; the corners of his mouth rose in amplitude. Wanting to hide
cannot be hidden.
“Mr. Charles is leaving now; next time I’ll invite Mr. Charles for dinner.”
At those words, Charles’s face became more gloomy. Just after discussing the cooperation matters, he opened his mouth and proposed to invite Jane for dinner, which was politely rejected by Jane. This will be the time for Drake to talk about the dinner matter, which is completely poking his sore
feet.
Charles left the Warner group with a gloomy face, completely ignoring the words of Drake, but Drake was not angry at all; in the end, the corners of his mouth held a cold smile.
As soon as he turned around, he met Jane’s gaze as she looked at him insidiously, and it was only then that Drake curtailed his cold smile.
Jane grunted lightly and returned to her workstation with the cooperation matters that needed to be revised.
When the kindergarten was dismissed in the afternoon, Jane got up to go pick up the child but was stopped by Drake, who informed Jane that Courtney had already gone to pick up the child.
At those words, Jane’s brows furrowed lightly; her complexion was a little bad.
After Courtney received the three little ones, she did not bring them back to the old mansion.
Chapter 182
For Zane and Zoe, the amusement park, or anything else they were not interested in, Courtney took the three of them to a high–class robotics club exhibition, which was filled with all sorts of rare robot artifacts and models.
Zoe was dazzled and had a smile on her face, which made Courtney couldn’t help but raise the corners of her lips as well.
Sure enough, this method was still effective; she had to cultivate a good relationship with Zane and Zoe as soon as possible.
After the end of the exhibition, Courtney sent the three little ones back to South Maple Court, knowing that Zoe and Zane were not yet able to accept her as a grandmother for the time being. Courtney did not force her to do so and naturally would not bring the three back to the old mansion.
A few people had just arrived at South Maple Court when they were told by the housekeeper that Mitchelle had come and would be in the living room.
“Why is she here?” Courtney murmured, still leading the three little ones inside.
In the living room, Mitchelle’s face became a little puzzled when she saw that Courtney had returned with the three little ones and was treating Zane and Zoe very well.
It was reasonable to say that Zane and Zoe were the child of Jane and another wild man, so how could Courtney treat them with such a good attitude?
“Auntie, you’re back. I went to the old mansion to see you and said that you came this way, so I came over.” Although she had doubts in her heart, Mitchelle didn’t show them; instead, she had a light smile on her face.
“Zachary, long time no see. Auntie brought you a gift; see if you like it.” Saying that, Mitchelle took out the latest robot toy she brought.
Zachary’s gaze glanced at her faintly, then raised her hand, and Mitchelle then noticed that all three of them were holding this latest model of toy, which was exactly what Courtney had bought for the
three of them.
The smile on her face paused, and Mitchelle’s embarrassment showed directly on her face.
