Mr.Warner. Your Ex–wife is

Chapter 62
Jane was stunned at this straightforward confession!
However, Drake’s expression did not change. “Lizzie, I’m sorry. I can’t accept you.”
The woman did not seem to be surprised at the rejection, but she still sounded a little disappointed when she said:
“Dre, you’re too faithful. After all this time, you’re still hung up with the girl you’ve missed for so long. Are you married?”
“No,” Drake said indifferently.
Suddenly, the woman’s gaze fell on Jane.
“Wow! You must be Miss Annie, Dre’s one and only. You’re so beautiful! No wonder he always has you in his heart and doesn’t even look at other women.”
“I don’t even know how many times I have confessed to him only to be rejected every time. And just now, he rejected me again. I’m so sad.”
Although the woman spoke sad words, her expression didn’t really show any sadness. Perhaps she had been rejected too many times that she had grown immune to it.
However, Jane’s expression was not very good. Yes, Drake’s “one and only” was Annie, but he had teased her like that just a few minutes ago. He really was a scumbag.
“You misunderstood. I am not Annie,” Jane clarified.
Hearing Jane’s denial, Lizzie was stunned for a moment. She did not believe it, so she looked towards Drake for answers.
“She’s Jane… my ex–wife,” Drake said after much hesitation.
Jane would have protested if he said anything else, yet now that he spoke the truth, there was a dull pain in her heart.
A scumbag. He really was a bad scumbag. When introducing her to a man, he would say that she was his wife. But in front of a beautiful woman, he would say that she was his
ex–wife.
What a scumbag among scumbags!
Lizzie was also shocked when she heard Drake’s introduction. Then she smiled and said, “Ex–wife? Drake, you married another woman and not your one and only?”
“Then can I be your child’s stepmother? Although we haven’t seen each other for a long time, I know some things about you. You already have a child. I don’t mind being your child’s stepmother.”
Hearing Lizzie’s words, Jane was the first to feel unhappy even though she vaguely knew it was another half–hearted statement. Her Zachary did not need a stepmother.
Fortunately, Drake still refused which made her feel better.
Lizzie looked at the two of them regretfully and said, “This lady is very beautiful, and she’s very fitting when she is standing with you. Why did you two get a divorce? Is it because of

Miss Annie?”
Jane was very speechless at the woman’s question.
Although the woman had the rights to feel anything as she was rejected too many times, it was still a little rude of her to inquire about other people’s private affairs so
straightforwardly.
However, Drake’s answer made Jane even more speechless.
“No. It’s because she has children with another man.”
With such an exciting answer, even Lizzie, who was born in an open country, was shocked.
After a while, she looked at Jane and said, “Dre and I met when we were studying abroad. He has always been an excellent man, and there are many girls pursuing him. Yet Miss Jane does not want such a man. Since you’ve chosen someone else and had children with them, I’m assuming this man must be better than Dre!”
At the other party’s words, Jane glanced at Drake and said angrily:
“Of course, my children’s father is far better than Drake. He will never be able to match up.”
Drake’s face suddenly darkened. Seeing this, Jane’s heart felt a little better.
‘Hmph! I hope I killed your pride!‘
“All that aside, it’s rare for us to meet. Let’s have dinner together. I know a good German–themed restaurant here. You’ll like it.”
Lizzie did not notice Drake’s gloomy expression and even warmly invited the two of them to dinner together.
“Jane should come with us too.”
Jane subconsciously wanted to refuse because she had seen today’s flight schedules. The earliest flight would take off in five hours. She wasn’t sure they had the time to eat.
However, before she could speak, Drake agreed. “Okay.”
Being forced to go, Jane had no choice but to accompany the two of them to dinner.
When they arrived and she saw the name of the restaurant, she immediately wanted to leave. She had been here before. Their food was expensive yet it didn’t really taste that good.
“Are you sure you want to eat here?” Jane asked the two of them.
Lizzie responded seriously as if trying to persuade her, “It’s a high–end restaurant and is very good. You should try it.”
Hearing this, Jane stopped talking. Forget it. She wasn’t the one spending the money anyway.
The three of them entered, ordered food, and waited for the food to be served.
At some point while waiting, Drake went to the bathroom, leaving just the two women. Lizzie enthusiastically began to chat with her.
“I’m Lizzie, but you can call me Liz. I met Drake when we were studying abroad. How about you?”

“Jane.” Although Liz was more straightforward and had a lot of questions, at least she was not a hostile person.
“Oh, Jane, I have an unkind request. Can you tell me what it’s like to be Dre’s wife?”
“I have liked him since the first day I met him. I have also confessed to him countless times, but he has never agreed. I really want to know what it is like to be his wife.”
Looking at Lizzie’s expectant and longing eyes, Jane really did not want to disappoint her.
Unfortunately, the fact was that after she married Drake, her love was too great it ended up hurting her.
If she could go back in time, she would probably just choose to stay away from him instead of crashing her life into the flames.
It was a pity that they were young and frivolous, and any mistakes they did then would never be reversed.
“As someone who has been here, I advise you to stay away from men, especially men like him, who are fatally attractive. You must know that the more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are.”
Out of good intentions, Jane still persuaded Lizzie so she wouldn’t fall into the situation like she had unfortunately fallen into.
“Is Dre not good? I’ve always thought that anyone who would marry him will have the world in their hands.”
Lizzie spoke so passionately and innocently that it was almost pitiful. Jane only wanted to say: ‘I must have done unforgivable sins in my past life that marrying him became my karma.‘
However, Jane didn’t say anything in the end. After a few minutes, Lizzie also mumbled with some understanding:
“Right. He has always had that Miss Carlton in his heart. I guess even if you marry him, if you don’t get his heart, you probably won’t be happy!”
Jane’s heart throbbed even more painfully. Yes. She was too blind with her love to know that, and it was why she ended up like this.
