Chapter 222
The three of them returned to the Maplewood Mansion, and all three little ones clung to Jane, not willing to let go even for a minute.
Zachary, seeing how Zoe and Zane suddenly became so attached to Jane, followed suit and stuck close to her too.
Suddenly, Zach turned around and noticed their father, Drake, looking at them with a touch of melancholy. Zach thought for a moment and took Zoe’s hand, saying, “Zoe, would you like to go ice–skating with me?”
“I don’t want to. I want to stay with Mommy,” Zoe refused Zach for the first time. Before this, she had never refused anything Zach proposed.
Upon hearing Zoe’s rejection, Zach’s expression turned a bit sour. But considering the matter between Mommy and Daddy, Zach had to rack his brains and try again, “Zoe, please come with me. I really want to go ice–skating now.”
Zane looked at Zach and scoffed at his poor acting skills, but Jane, noticing that the tension between them hadn’t eased, gently nudged Zane and affectionately said, “Zane, you are the big brother take your little sister and Zach to play. I’ll cook something delicious for you all, and I’ll call you when it’s ready.”
Zane didn’t want to leave Jane’s side, but since Jane had spoken, he reluctantly took Zoe and Zach to the ice–skating rink.
Finally, Drake had the opportunity to get close to Jane. As he was about to embrace her, Jane swiftly stood up and looked at Drake sitting beside her.
“I’m going to cook for the kids,” she said calmly.
Hearing that, Drake extended his long arm and grabbed Jane wrist. With a little force, she fell into his embrace, ending up sitting on his lap.
Ignoring her words, Drake reached out and grabbed her wrist, then pulled her back into his arms. Immediately she fell into his embrace and ended up sitting on his laps.
And he said in a low, seductive voice, “Cooking can wait. Let me eat first.”
Jane’s cheeks blushed slightly, and she turned her head away, not willing to entertain Drake’s antics. “Drake, let me go.”
“No” Drake replied, breathing his warm breath on her neck, trying to tempt her.
Jane could feel herself helplessly giving in to his words, but she struggled and finally managed to break free from his grasp.
“Ah!” Suddenly, Drake exclaimed in pain.
Immediately, Jane remembered that he still had a wound on his hand. So she anxiously asked,
“Are you okay?” while checking his injury.
As he watched Jane’s worried expression, Drake’s heart swelled with emotion, and his gaze remained fixed on her. His eyes were filled with nothing but Jane, completely captivated by her
presence.

After a while, when there was no response from him, Jane looked up at him. Inadvertently, their eyes met, and sparks flew between them. A different kind of affection began to blossom.
Seeing Drake’s handsome face getting closer and closer, Jane’s heartbeat began to speed up. She just stared at Drake in a daze, waiting for his gentle kiss to fall.
Just as they were about to kiss, his phone suddenly rang, and an invisible pressure emanated from him. He frowned and answered the call from his assistant, Daniel.
“Sir, I’ve found information about Mary Morgan,” Daniel reported. Drake had asked Daniel to investigate Mary after her disappearance.
Listening to Daniel’s report, Drake’s expression turned even darker. It turned out that Mary, the woman who looked exactly like Jane, had met Charles only six months ago. She had undergone plastic surgery to resemble Jane and had worked as a maid in the Warner family before.
“The Warner family?” Drake asked, his voice cold.
“Yes, she worked for Miss Annie,” Daniel replied.
Drake frowned. He never expected such a connection. If Mary had worked as a maid in the Warner family, she must have seen him before. No wonder she said she loved him so much.
But if that was the case, why did she choose to undergo plastic surgery to look like Jane? Drake couldn’t comprehend the complexity of the situation. He decided to wait until they found Mary and ask her directly.
“Have you found her whereabouts?” Drake asked, his voice low.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the call before Daniel replied with a trembling voice, “We’ve found her travel records, but there have been no updates after she left the country. However, Sir, rest assured, we will find her as soon as possible.”
Daniel was afraid that Drake would be furious if they failed to find Mary. But to his surprise, Drake’s voice sounded calm and indifferent. “Alright, report to me as soon as you find her.”
Without waiting for Daniel to respond, Drake hung up the phone. With the phone call over, he turned his attention back to Jane. However, she quickly slipped out of his embrace,
“Alright, it’s getting late. I’ll go prepare food for the kids,” Jane said calmly as she walked towards the
kitchen.
Drake couldn’t help but sigh again, feeling regretful. He had missed another chance to be close to
her.
Later that night, he went into Jane’s room, intending to continue building their relationship. But as he walked in, he noticed that she wasn’t there. He couldn’t find her anywhere in the room.
After turning on the lights and searching the entire room, he was even more certain that Jane wasn’t there. He could hear the laughter of the three kids coming from the room next door, along with Jane’s laughter.
Drake’s face turned dark, realizing that he was once again excluded. With a heavy heart, he stepped into the room next door. He pushed the door open with force, causing a loud noise, and all eight eyes turned to look at him. They wore expressions of confusion, curiosity, and complexity, all directed at Drake.
“Daddy, why are you here?” Zach was the first to speak.
Chapter 222
Drake glance at Zach angrily, and cursed inwardly, “You kids are really something, taking over my wife and asking why I’m here. Of course, I’m here to steal my wife back.”
Without saying a word, Drake strode to the side of the bed with his long and slender legs, then scooped Jane into his arms holding her like a princess and turned to leave.
“Where are you taking Mommy?” The three kids protested from behind.
“I’ll give you another little sister!” Drake replied coldly, as he closed the door.
