Mr. Warner Your Ex-Wife is Brilliant by Paula Chapter 232

Chapter 232
Upon hearing Drake’s explanation, Jane was slightly surprised for a moment. She then recalled
Drake’s astonishing combat skills, which explained why he was so capable. She hadn’t expected him to have served in a special forces unit
“So, this is the real reason for our divorce?” Jane asked
“Yes,” Drake replied sincerely
For some reason, hearing this answer Jane’s heart suddenly felt less resentment, and in an instant, she seemed to understand Drake’s thoughts
“But you shouldn’t have done this Since you had feelings for me from the beginning, you should have been honest with me Jane complained
“I did want to explain, but you didn’t give me a chance Drake said helplessly
Jane thought of their previous argument After Drake met with Annie, she was so angry that she didn’t want to listen to anything he said. No wonder he made such a statement now
Then, the expression on Jane’s face all of a sudden became somewhat embarrassed, and she touched her nose, saying, “Forget it, let’s not bring up this matter again Let’s just think about how to leave this place ”
“How did you manage to survive these past two days? I brought a backpack with food and water Drake asked softly
Without any hesitation, Jane took Drake to the mountain cave where she had been hiding from the
snowstorm
Tve been here for two days. It’s been tough, but I managed not to starve or freeze to death,” Jan said
Upon entering the cave, Drake used a flashlight to look around. He found that the entire cave was relatively dry, and there was evidence of a fire near the entrance, obviously made by Jane He also noticed a few black root-like things lying nearby, resembling sweet potatoes but with black skun These were c a ss ava roots, a type of plant
Having been in the military and experienced survival in the wild, Drake immediately recognized the plant
“Have you been eating these things these past few days?” Drake furrowed his eyebrows.
He had tried these cas sav a roots before, and the taste wasn’t great, but they good enough to stomach
“Yes, otherwise, what else could I do? It’s not like i can eat air” Jane replied.
“Tomorrow, when it’s light, we’ll find a way to climb up this slope.” Drake started planning their escape for the next day
Jane lit the fire, acknowledging his words with a simple “Hom, and then fell into silence, with only the cr ack ling sound of the burning fire
His gaze fell on Jane’s radiant face illuminated by the five For a moment, he had a strange feeling that she resembled the lively and bright young girl from his memories. Even though he had never

seen the appearance of that young girl from back then, he had a strong feeling that she had grown up to become the person standing before him now.
Sensing Drake’s intense gaze on her, Jane turned around with a puzzled expression.
“Why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?”
Drake came back to his senses, hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly, “Tell me about your years abroad.”
When she heard this, Jane was taken aback for a moment and then replied indifferently, “What’s there to say? It was just like that.”
“I want to know,” Drake insisted.
“Even if you know, what difference does it make? What’s gone can never be reclaimed,” Jane’s words carried a hint of sadness.
As a woman who had been exiled to a foreign country with a child, she could never lead a simple life. She had achieved her current success through great efforts and the help of many kind-hearted people, step by step.
But luck often goes hand in hand with strength.
Drake stopped probing further and instead said softly, “You’re right. What’s gone cannot be retrieved. I should understand what you want in the future,” “In the future, we will both be divorced. What future do we have left?” Jane replied with a mix of anger and sadness.
“Even if we divorce, we can remarry. Moreover, I didn’t sign the divorce agreement.” Drake revealed a hidden secret to Jane.
Upon hearing Drake’s words, Jane widened her eyes in shock and looked at him with disbelief.
“Drake, you lied to me!”
“I only asked you to sign it; I never said I would sign it,” Drake replied calmly.
“You are despicable!” Jane was somewhat angry. Drake’s behavior was clearly mocking her. She had already signed the divorce agreement, so what was the meaning of him not signing it?
“Since you’ve called me despicable, maybe I should do something truly despicable.”
As he spoke, Drake made a move as if he wanted to come over to Jane’s side.
Jane quickly jumped back and looked at him warily. “Stay away from me!”
Seeing Jane acting like a frightened bird, Drake didn’t make any further moves.
Seeing this, Jane relaxed slightly but remained cautious. She sat down against the rock wall at a distance from Drake.
“Rest well, tomorrow we still need to find a way to leave here,” she said before closing her eyes and pretending to sleep.
In the middle of the night, Jane suddenly woke up and found someone sleeping right next to her-none other than Drake.
Seeing that Drake was so close in proximity while maintaining the same resting position, mixed feelings arose within her.

Moving her stiff body slightly, Jane prepared to go throw some firewood into the campfire but was stopped by Drake’s voice.
“I’ll do it. You just lean back.”
Drake then threw the firewood into the campfire, and Jane flexed her somewhat stiff body.
“You haven’t slept all night?” Jane could sense that Drake’s tone didn’t sound like someone who had been deeply asleep.
“Slept for a little while,” replied Drake calmly.
Hearing his response, Jane understood that Drake must have been lightly sleeping, staying vigilant.
“Sleep a little longer; it’s still a few hours until dawn,” Drake leaned back again, pressing his body
close to Jane.
Jane felt a bit hesitant, but she rested against him. When she was very tired, she could barely fall asleep in this position. And now, lying on this hard rock, she wouldn’t be able to sleep at all.
But without any other options, Jane forced herself to enter rest mode again and prepared for tomorrow’s escape.
Finally, waking up from a deep slumber, the faint light of morning had already seeped through. It should be around five o’clock in the morning.
Jane opened her eyes and moved her stiff muscles. As she moved, Drake also stirred.
After standing up, Drake reached out his hand towards Jane.
She hesitated for a moment but eventually placed her hand in Drake’s, using his support to stand up, and she stretched lazily.
“It’s daylight now; let’s go take a look at that hillside.” Drake suggested
“Yes.”
Agreeing with each other, they picked up their belongings and walked towards the place where Drake fell down yesterday.
