Chapter 61
Following Jane’s interpretation, it was naturally impossible for Drake to agree to their proposal. He explained directly to the other party: if this is the case, then he will not contribute to this investment.
After some deliberation, the two sides finally reached a point of balance of interests and reached a cooperation.
After finally sealing the deal, the investor’s gaze wandered off to Jane.
“The lady beside Mr. Warner has the charm of a German woman. May I ask what her relationship is with Mr. Warner?”
Jane was about to get up and explain that she was Drake’s assistant.
However, a large palm held her hand and stopped her from getting up. Then a low voice answered casually:
“This is my wife.”
Hearing Drake’s statement, Jane’s eyes widened in surprise. Immediately, she gave him a glare.
They had an agreement not to talk about their relationship at work! So why did he say that?
Jane’s heart skipped a beat, feeling complicated, filled with both anger and resentment.
Once upon a time, she had always dreamed of being properly introduced as his wife. However, he had always avoided even mentioning about her as if he didn’t want to have anything to do with her, so what was the point of him doing this now?
Drake didn’t even look at Jane’s reaction. After his revelation, he then went ahead to talk to the investor about the translator beside him, praising her for being beautiful and speaking good German.
The investor withdrew his gaze from Jane with a bit of regret and put on a bit of humility.
“You’re too kind, Mr. Warner. Your wife is a beauty of her own.”
When the dinner was over, everyone walked out of the restaurant. Drake was still holding her hand all this time. Bound by etiquette, Jane did not shake it off.
Only after the investor left with the beautiful translator in his arms did Jane finally shake off Drake’s hand.
“Why did you say that I’m your wife?” she asked.
All this time, Drake had already sensed that she was just suppressing her anger.
“We’re legally husband and wife. There’s nothing we can’t say,” Drake said in disapproval.
“But we’re getting divorced soon, right? So there’s no point in telling others about our current status, right?” Jane reminded him sarcastically.
“Then let’s wait until after the divorce,” Drake replied lightly.
His attitude was really annoying. Jane gritted her teeth, but the man walked out of the restaurant without a care in the world.
Chapter 61
Unbeknownst to Jane was that when Drake was preparing to discuss this investment, he had thoroughly investigated the investor’s information and found out that he was a philanderer and played around with women too much.
If he had not made clear that Jane was his wife, then the investor would probably target her.
This was also an unspoken rule that everyone in the market knew about.
The two of them got busy for the next three days dealing with the follow–up matters before they could finally fully negotiate the investment.
“Can we go back tomorrow?” Jane looked at Drake coldly as if she did not want to stay with him anymore.
“I already told you we’ll be here for one week. It’s only been the four days. What are you in a hurry for?” Drake approached her slowly and leisurely, looking like a lazy Persian cat.
“Can’t I be worried about the children at home?” Jane replied.
“They are in Maplewood. Nothing will happen,” Drake responded but still with an indifferent tone as if he wasn’t even trying to reassure her.
“But we’re already done with all the work. Why are we staying here when there is nothing to do?” Jane asked again with a puzzled expression.
“Tomorrow, you’ll know.” Drake pretended to be mysterious. And just as the elevator opened, he immediately turned around and went back to his room.
Looking at his retreating back, Jane clenched her fists angrily.
The next morning, Jane left the room early and went to the front desk to check out.
Hmph! He would have no choice but to leave too!
When Drake came down, Jane had already checked out of the room. She was carrying her suitcase and was looking at him with a triumphant smile.
“I’ve already settled the check–out. We’ll go to the airport and buy the earliest possible ticket back.”
At Jane’s little movements, Drake was stunned for a moment. When he recovered, he couldn’t help but chuckle.
She really would do anything just to go back. Unfortunately for her, if he did not want to leave, she would never be able to go back as well.
“There’s a place I’m going to and you’ll accompany me. After that, we’ll go back right away.”
“Where?”
Maple Leaf Forest Park was quite large. Rows of white benches stood all around its corners and white pigeons were flying and hopping everywhere. The wind was blowing and the leaves fell to the ground. The scenery was picturesque.
Drake was wearing a white suit so when he stood on the long asphalt road with the white pigeons behind him, he formed quite a beautiful scenery.
Jane had to admit that he was really good–looking. His facial features formed a handsome face. He looked like he was a darling of heaven,

Jut even with an appearance like that, it couldn’t change his scumbag personality.
urning away, Jane took out some bread and broke it into tiny pieces to feed the pigeons. he did not know what was wrong with this man for him to come here, so she did her own hing and brought the bread to feed the birds on the side.
ane reached out with another palmful of crushed bread and a pigeon decided to stand on ier hand to peck at the food. After eating some, it tilted its head at her then flapped its vings and flied away.
Looking at the pure white pigeons flying freely in the sky would make anyone feel envious.
Back then, she had always been envious of this kind of freedom. She had also thought that f she was a pigeon, she would not be imprisoned in that room that did not see the light of lay.
ane was too focused on feeding the pigeons and did not notice that Drake was approaching step by step. He walked behind her quietly as he watched her movements.
Then, she suddenly stood and turned around, and the movement caused Jane’s lips to Jump lightly onto Drake’s cheek.
ane was startled and quickly jumped a few steps away while looking at Drake coldly.
‘What’s wrong with you? Why were you suddenly standing so close behind me?”
She immediately wiped her lips all the while noticing how her heartbeat accelerated incontrollably from that stupid accidental kiss. This observation made her panic inwardly.
She did not want to fall in love anymore!
‘You just assaulted me, and you’re still asking me with that kind of tone?”
Because of that casual kiss just now, Drake’s mood inexplicably became very good.
‘Shut up! Who assaulted you?” Jane turned around when her face began to feel hot. She did not want to be seen blushing by the man.
Looking at Jane’s red ears, Drake’s mood rose even higher.
Just then, a female voice broke the atmosphere between the two of them.
“Dre!”
Drake followed the voice and saw a tall and beautiful, seemingly mix–blooded, woman walking towards him.
Jane also looked over, looking at the half–race beauty who ran quickly, and Jane’s eyes were frightened by the bulging mass on her chest.
Her chest are really…huge!
The beautiful woman quickly stopped in front of the two of them, or to be more specific, in front of Drake. She said excitedly:
“Dre! I didn’t expect to meet you here. You’re still as handsome as ever!”
“Isn’t there a saying that when you meet again, you two must have a fate together. I still like you very much, and since we met again then it must be fate. So this time, will you stop rejecting me?”
