Chapter 53
Without having to take care of “His Assness,” Drake, Jane invited Jasper to lunch to learn about Joe’s situation.
When he received the call from Jane and was informed that they were having lunch together, he was so excited that he cleaned up a bit then booked a high–end restaurant.
After Jane arrived, Jasper was already there. Glancing around at the surrounding environment, she said casually,
“You didn’t have to go with such a high–end place. I still like the local dishes around. This kind of restaurant is not only expensive but not very delicious. It just has better aesthetic.”
This restaurant was quite large with a very good ambiance and service. Many people would choose this kind of place for business or dating and never really much for eating.
“This is the first time the two of us are eating out alone. Of course, we have to choose a place with a better environment,” Jasper whispered to himself.
Jane was in the middle of ordering food and did not hear him clearly.
“What did you say?”
“It’s nothing. Just order your food. I heard that their signature dish is good.” Since Jane didn’t hear him, he had no plans to repeat it.
He understood that some relationships, if prodded too early, would only backfire.
Jane finished ordering then finally looked at Jasper properly. She was slightly stunned.
“You look a little different today,” she commented.
Upon hearing this, Jasper was pleasantly surprised and somewhat giddy, but he still tried his best to remain calm.
“What difference is there? Haven’t I always been like this?”
Even though he said that, Jasper was still secretly looking forward to what Jane would say.
Jane scrutinized his appearance carefully and said seriously, “I feel like your style today is more suitable for you than your usual one.”
Usually, Jasper’s sense of aesthetic leaned towards the more feminine kind. They were usually sassy and flamboyant clothes and were in line with his status as a senior designer.
But today, he had his long hair tied back and without any of the usual ornate decorations. He wore a simple white suit. He looked elegant and quite manly.
“If you keep dressing like this, finding a girlfriend will be just around the corner,” Jane said with a smile.
Hearing this, Jasper was overjoyed, “Do you like me like this?”
These words had a slightly different meaning. Jane paused for a few seconds before answering,
“I mean, young women are into this. Why are you talking about me?” Jane maintained her smile to cover up the slight strangeness in her heart.

At her clarification, loss flickered across Jasper’s face before quickly returning to normal.
“Forget it. Whether it’s a man or a woman, it will only affect the speed of drawing my sword.”
“Speaking of which, are you planning to stay like this forever? You don’t plan to go abroad anymore?” Jasper asked again.
Faced with that question again, Jane was silent for a while. She was thinking about Drake and what had happened during the time she came back. Maybe she really shouldn’t stay
anymore.
If she stayed in the country, she would only be caged and be threatened by Drake. Not only was she a subject to him, she also had no way of developing her own power.
If she wanted to defeat Drake, she had to be more powerful than him. For that to happen, she had to break free from his jurisdiction.
Thinking about this, Jane said, “Three months. After three months, no matter what, I will leave with Zane and Zoe.”
While the two of them were talking, the waiter brought the dishes. Jasper immediately started peeling the shrimps, and after that, he offered one to Jane.
“Try this shrimp. It’s still fresh.”
Looking at the shrimp that he peeled, Jane declined politely, “You don’t have to do that. I can do it myself.”
“No. My hands are already dirty, so just let me peel it for you. No need to dirty yours,” Jasper insisted, and then one or two shrimps were put into Jane’s bowl.
The two of them had quite a good time with their meal. However, suddenly, a tall figure sat with them and said gloomily:
“You sure are having a great meal. Why don’t you peel two of them for me too?”
Jane blinked in surprise when she noticed it was Drake who suddenly appeared. He had an ugly expression, looking like the darkness before the storm.
“Why are you here?” Shouldn’t he be in the hospital and discussing work with his beautiful female assistant? Why did he come to here to annoy her again?
“The person who caused my hospitalizations abandoned her patient to come and have a date with her male lover. Why shouldn’t I come and catch them in the act?”
“What nonsense are you talking about, Drake? If you’re angry at me, then come at me, but don’t insult my friend.”
Fury immediately flared in her heart as soon as she saw him and her good mood disappeared.
“Friend? Are you sure you two are just friends? He’s not your children’s secret father?” Jane felt more relieved than angry at his words.
It turned out that he thought that Zane and Zoe were Jasper’s children.
Hmph. Then she would choose not tell him that Zane and Zoe were also his children.

“Don’t talk about the children. What? You want to threaten me with Zac again?” Jane replied coldly.
Drake’s face was really dark, but when he noticed that Jane was also on the verge of bursting out, his expression calmed down again.
“Never mind the children, but you are still my employee. Is this how you treat your work?”
“Work? Didn’t I ask your beautiful female assistant to send you the documents? She is also responsible for your allergies. Why do you want me to bear your petty consequences alone?”
“You’re just deliberately targeting me, right? Drake, can you be anymore small–minded?” Jane looked at him with contempt as if she was looking down on a petty creature. Drake felt a burst of anger when he noticed the way she was looking at him, but he did not want to lose face so he said coldly,
“Don’t think too highly of yourself. You’re not worthy to be an opponent.”
“It’s best if I’m not worthy. Otherwise, I would have thought that you’re suddenly now interested in your wife whom you used to avoid,” Jane said, feeling a pinch at the corners of
her heart.
In the past, she had never even expected for him to look at her in the eye. Yet now that she had given up, Drake was suddenly trying to squeeze his way in her life by always provoking her. It was too ironic.
Understanding the meaning of Jane’s words, Drake’s expression became indifferent. He stood up and said coldly,
“Don’t forget your make–up lessons for Zac this afternoon.”
“Don’t worry. I’ve already agreed so I’ll do it. I’ll teach him well. On the contrary, President Warner should also keep his word. The matter of our divorce, please put it on the agenda,‘
Jane said lightly, but her chest was becoming stuffy and painful.
She had already said that she didn’t love him anymore. Why was it then that when she would mention the divorce again, her heart felt uncomfortable?
Holding back the tears in her eyes, Jane stubbornly decided to leave.
“Hmph. We’ll talk about it first, Miss Bentley. With this kind of behavior of focusing on your outside lover, how do I know that you can teach Zac well?”
“Be polite, Drake. You keep saying male lover left and right. So how should I refer to your Miss Carlton? Your mistress?”
Jane was too angry that Drake wouldn’t stop insulting Jasper so she couldn’t help her cold.

When Annie was mentioned, Drake was startled and woke up to his senses. It had been such a long time since he had even thought about her.
This was not a good sign!
