Chapter 326
The car that came to pick up Giovanni was incredibly comfortable, and Jane had been exhausted all morning. Now, sitting in the plush car, she couldn’t resist feeling sleepy.
Giovanni noticed her tired expression and softly said, “If you’re tired, take a rest. I’ll wake you up when we get there.”
Having supported each other on their escape, Jane trusted Giovanni enough not to be polite. She nodded, deciding to take a short nap so she could regain some energy before returning to China to see her three precious babies.
Jane leaned back and closed her eyes to rest. The high energy expenditure and the constant running had taken a toll on her physically and mentally.
When she woke up, it was because she felt someone touching her. She opened her eyes and saw the blond and blue–eyed Giovanni with his delicately handsome face, which could easily captivate any woman’s heart.
However, Jane remained immune to men ever since Dreak’s betrayal. Her heart was still tied to him because of their three children.
“You’re awake!” Giovanni said gently as he noticed Jane opening her eyes.
Jane realized the waiter’s posture was a bit too familiar. Giovanni seemed to be trying to carry her
out of the car.
Swiftly coming to her senses, Jane pushed him away and pretended as if nothing happened. She spoke in a relaxed tone, “Have we arrived at your house?” She then opened the car door and got out.
A luxurious mansion greeted her sight. Although she already suspected Giovanni’s unusual identity, living in such a lavish mansion confirmed he must be very wealthy.
This was good; she could borrow some money from him temporarily and return it once she got back
home.
“You have quite a big family!” Jane commented casually, planning to discuss her return to China with him, hoping he could assist her.
However, before Jane could say anything, Giovanni smiled and accepted her casual compliment, “My family is quite extensive, but I’m the only one living here. Why don’t you stay and keep me company?”
Jane thought Giovanni was joking and glared at him, saying, “Don’t be silly. I want to go home too. Can you help me arrange my return? Or lend me some money, or let me call someone to pick me up. Alright?”
Giovanni replied, “You are the first woman who wanted to leave after entering my Rose Manor, but I don’t plan to let you leave.”
The corner of Jane’s mouth twitched as she heard that. Did he mean to imprison her here?
Before she could respond, Giovanni plucked a beautiful rose from the flowerbed and held it in front of her. “Woman, I have fallen for you. I don’t care if you’re married or have children; I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”
Looking at the romantic and affectionate confession from the handsome man before her, Jane’s

heart didn’t skip a beat.
After a while, she managed to hold back any scathing remarks and remained speechless.
“Even though you’re French, known for being romantic, but… are you seriously doing this to a married woman? Do you even have a brain?” Jane wanted to say something nastier, but she reminded herself of their shared escape experience, which led her to withhold the harsh words.
She believed in love at first sight; she experienced it with Dreak–an unforgettable love. However, she didn’t want this kind of love at first sight. All she wanted was to go home and see her three adorable
children.
“I’m serious,” Giovanni said, thinking Jane didn’t believe him.
She knew he was serious, but it only troubled her more.
“Please, I don’t want to discuss this with you. I simply have no feelings for you whatsoever,” Jane said grumpily, wanting to leave immediately to avoid any further confrontations.
However, before she could take a few steps, she was stopped by two burly men.
Giovanni turned around, his expression darkening. Jane looked at the two men and then at Giovanni.
Giovanni spoke slowly, “Without my permission, there’s no way you’re leaving.”
At that moment, Jane understood his intention. Giovanni had never planned to let her go; he had intended to trap her from the start.
“Giovanni… Aren’t you going too far? We were allies. How can you treat me like this?” Jane was genuinely repulsed by this twisted feeling.
In the past, Charles Holbrook was enough to handle. Now, there was another foreigner. She didn’t want this kind of romantic entanglement.
“We were allies before, but now that we’ve escaped, we’re no longer allies. I want you to be with me,” Giovanni stated firmly.
The word “woman” made Jane even more annoyed. Why did such arrogant men assume women would fall for them?
“A forced relationship won’t make me like you. In fact, it’ll only make me hate you more,” Jane
retorted.
“You will. As long as you spend time with me, you’ll slowly fall in love with me,” Giovanni asserted confidently.
Jane was speechless once more. She had no choice but to use Dreak’s name to warn him, “I advise you to let me go. My husband is very powerful, and he knows where I am. He’ll come to save me, and you’ll be in trouble.”
She knew her words sounded somewhat threatening, but she had to try whatever she could to escape from this mess.
