Chapter 217
When Jane found her three children, they were happily dining at a KFC restaurant. And, of course, the one who brought them there was Mary. Initially, Mary was opposed to Charles’s arrangement, but she relented to uphold Jane’s reputation in front of the children.
When Mary tried to take the kids away, Zane adamantly refused to leave. Zoe, who was often inseparable from Zane, stayed put as well. In stark contrast, young Zachary, who was promised a trip to KFC, readily agreed to Mary’s proposal.
“Fine! We won’t go. It’s just Mommy and me then, hmph!” Zachary said, completely oblivious that the woman standing before him wasn’t his real mother. He hadn’t spent much time with Jane, hence his inability to detect anything unusual.
Upon seeing Zachary’s enthusiasm, Zane couldn’t help but think his younger brother was an idiot. However, he decided to tag along with Zoe to ensure Zachary’s safety. Zane knew that if anything. were to happen to Zachary, Jane would blame herself for not being there during his childhood. The last thing he wanted was for his mother to feel more remorse than she already did.
When Jane arrived at the KFC restaurant, she found her three children sitting together. “Mommy, you’re back! You’ve come at the right time. The food we ordered just arrived,” an excited Zachary ran
towards Jane.
Zane was momentarily stunned upon seeing Jane, but he quickly realized it was the real her. He was overjoyed and started to exclaim, “Mommy…” But he stopped short as he saw Jane press a finger to her lips, indicating for him to remain quiet and glancing around the restaurant. He understood the signal and refrained from saying anything more.
After she sat down, Jane gently stroked her children’s heads, overwhelmed by longing. After making sure that they were all fine and that Courtney had taken good care of them in her absence, Jane felt a sense of relief. It seemed that her nominal mother–in–law treated the three kids well and fairly.
“Mommy, why did you bring us to KFC today?” With oil stains around his mouth and a chicken leg in his hand, Zachary looked at Jane.
“Because Mommy was craving KFC too!” Jane replied with a smile.
The group enjoyed their KFC meal happily. Several times, Zane tried to find an opportunity to ask Jane what had happened, but she interrupted him every time, which made him even more anxious.
“Mommy, can you not leave later?” Zane finally asked carefully.
Feeling the heaviness behind Zane’s words, Jane sighed deeply. She longed to stay, but she was still under the effects of the poison and feared what Charles might do if she remained. She couldn’t risk their safety.
“Zane, be a good boy. We’ll spend lots of time together as soon as Mommy finishes her business. How about we go on a trip?” Jane tried her best to reassure him.
Despite her comforting words, Zane could tell that Jane still had to leave, that they would soon have to face the impostor mother again. This filled him with a sense of dread.
Soon, it was time for Jane to leave, and she once again used the excuse of needing to use the
restroom.
As Jane’s figure receded, Zane’s eyes welled up with tears. Zachary, thoroughly confused, exclaimed,

“Mommy’s just going to the restroom! Why are you acting like it’s a life–or–death farewell?”
“What would you know?!” Zane retorted coldly, frustration and sorrow evident in his voice.
“What should I know? Hmp! Forget it,” Zachary retorted, unwilling to back down.
Mary returned to find Zane and Zachary locked in a standoff, arms crossed, giving each other the cold shoulder. “Are you quarreling with Zachary again?” she asked immediately.
Mary had a distinct bias towards Zachary as he was the son of Zachary To her, Zane was nothing more than a child out of wedlock. She was trying to stay close to Drake while keeping her real identity hidden and having Zachary on her side was of immense help.
However, unbeknownst to her, Zane and Zoe were also Zachary’s children. Her strategy of appeasing only Zachary was flawed.
On hearing Mary’s question, Zane snorted dismissively, didn’t even spare her a second look, and left hand in hand with Zoe.
Mary seethed with anger but could do nothing about it. She could only watch Zane’s retreating figure with profound loathing.
Zachary noticed this interaction and was left puzzled. Why did Mommy display such intense revulsion towards Zane, even if they were at odds? A mother’s expression shouldn’t be filled with such loathing, even when her children argue.
At this moment, Zachary was beginning to share Zane’s suspicion–that the woman in front of them was not their real mother. Just as he was pondering this, ‘Mommy‘ kneeled down and said, clearly showing favoritism, “Zachary, let’s go. If Zane argues with you again, don’t be afraid. Mommy will always support you.”
This statement only further reinforced Zachary’s suspicions. Mommy was acting really strange. Back home, Zane wore a cold, silent expression. Their despicable father, Drake, was also present. Recalling his hollow promise to bring their real mother back, Zane’s young face darkened further.
Noticing the children’s solemn return, Drake looked up from the sofa. His gaze fell on Mary, and he quickly stood up.
He rushed over to the kids, asking nervously, “Why are you back? Wasn’t Granny supposed to pick you up?”
Zane didn’t reply, so Zachary spoke up, “Mommy came to pick us up.”
Drake’s eyes immediately snapped towards Mary, his face hardening. “Why did you pick up the kids? Where did you take them?”
Mary shuddered under Drake’s intense stare. She felt like a small animal caught in the gaze of a predatory eagle, fear causing her to tremble.
“I… I took them to KFC, Mary stammered, finally managing to voice a response.
“And then?” Drake questioned, his eyes still icy.
“Then… nothing else. We just ate and returned,” Mary replied, clearly intimidated by his cold stare.
Satisfied that the children were safe, Drake’s stern demeanor gradually eased.
“In the future, don’t take the kids out alone,” he said curtly.

“Uh… okay!” Mary was left baffled by Drake’s shifting moods.
Upon hearing Drake’s words, Zane scoffed and led Zoe away. Their father was truly indecisive. He
still hadn’t managed to bring their real mother back after all this time, and yet he continued to show fake affection for this impostor claiming to be their mother.
