Chapter 66
The next day, when the sun was just rising and before Drake could get up, Jane had already showered and packed her things up. Looking at Drake still lying on the bed, Jane said indifferently:
“I’ll wait for you in the hall downstairs.”
After that, she carried her suitcase downstairs. Drake looked at her back with a complicated expression.
Jane waited in the lobby while using her phone to check the flight status of the neighboring city. Suddenly, a woman appeared and handed her an invitation card. Then, she pointed to the newly opened restaurant opposite the hotel and began to introduce it to her.
Jane was not interested at first, but when she heard that since it was newly opened, there would be a lucky draw for couples and the first prize was a robot figure, she hesitated.
Zoe liked all kinds of robots very much. Some robots could be bought, but some special robots could not be bought with money. They had to participate in certain activities or have someone inside to get them.
The robot figure for the restaurant event was the kind of robot that money couldn’t buy.
Of course, Jane wanted to bring something back to Zoe, but… couple activities. Where on earth was she going to find someone to form a couple with her for that?
Suddenly, Drake’s name appeared in her mind.
She immediately shook her head. Well, technically, they could form a couple legally, but their situation could not really suggest that. Besides, she could not even expect him to agree.
“Let’s go,” Drake’s voice sounded just as she was thinking deeply about how to get this robot figure.
Jane raised her eyes. The man was fully dressed and seemingly all ready to go. His expression was as indifferent as ever.
Jane got up and followed. But then she glanced back at the restaurant opposite and finally said to Drake:
“There seems to be a restaurant opposite. I just happen to be hungry. Why don’t we go have a meal first?”
Drake looked at the restaurant that Jane was talking about. He noticed that there were many people in there, making his brows crease slightly.
He didn’t like crowded places!
“Okay,” he replied unexpectedly while she was expecting a refusal.
Jane could not say whether she was shocked or surprised. She really had been readying herself for a no. There were many customers when they entered the restaurant, but the waiter was still very enthusiastic about arranging seats for the two of them.
They took a seat by the window. When the waiter saw that the two of them had come together, he naturally introduced the couple’s lucky draw for the opening of the new store.

Jane glanced at Drake, wondering if the other party understood the waiter’s words.
Her first thought was to come in and eat and then think about whether there was any other way to get that robot figure.
“Beautiful lady, the event is almost over. No one has won the first prize yet. If you and this handsome man participate in the event, you may be able to win the first prize!”
Hearing the waiter’s warm recommendation, Jane felt a little more hopeful in her heart. She could just stay for a little while and wait if someone managed to win the first prize. Then she would just go forward and negotiate with them to see if she could buy it with
money.
“No need. We’re just here to eat.”
Jane politely refused, but she kept her eyes on the lottery, always paying attention to whether anyone had won the first prize.
“Okay, ma’am. Then wait a moment. Your meal will be served soon,” the waiter said politely.
After that, he took their menu and went to the kitchen to have their orders line up.
Meanwhile, Drake’s eyes kept falling on Jane. Seeing that she was paying close attention to the event yet rejected the waiter’s offer, he felt a little suspicious in his heart.
Later, when the waiter was serving the food, Drake told the waiter in fluent French that he wanted to participate in the event.
Jane was startled and looked up at him, not understanding what he meant.
Hearing that they were going to participate in the event, the waiter enthusiastically brought the two of them to the lottery place and then said:
“Because the event can only be attended by couples, in order to prove that the two are a couple, the two of them must first kiss in person before they can participate in the event.”
Jane was really looking forward to being able to draw the lottery, even if she might not be lucky enough to win the first prize. However, this announcement threw her off.
Just as she wanted to say that she would not participate anymore, Drake grabbed the back of her head with his long arm.
Following the man’s movements, his cool lips landed on Jane’s.
After a while, Drake let go and looked at the organizer, asking indifferently:
“Is that okay?”
The organizer was also stunned by the two people’s sudden kiss. However, at that moment, the handsome man and the beautiful woman were quite eye–catching.
It felt like there were thousand horses racing in Jane’s heart. She wanted to scold the man for his shamelessness, but the man had already grabbed her hand, turned, and reached out to the blind lottery box together with her.
For Zoe’s robot figure, Jane swallowed the curses and endured it.
The two of them fumbled for a while in the blind box before they took out a note and handed it to the people handling the event.

var. Your Ex–urife is
When the note was opened, Jane was also very nervous.
“Wow. Congratulations to the two of you! You really won the first prize in our store. It’s a very precious and unique robot figure!” the waiter announced loudly as he looked at the note. For some reason, when she saw Drake and Jane who made such a beautiful couple, he also faintly hoped that they would win the lottery.
Jane herself didn’t expect that she would win!
When the event party brought the two of them to the stage and congratulated them, they took the reward over. Jane was overjoyed as they handed it to her.
“Thank you!”
After getting the robot figure, Jane carefully put it away.
Drake looked at her smiling face and remembered that she had just mentioned coming here
to eat. It seemed that she had already thought about this from the beginning.
And the reason why she wanted it was probably for the sake of her two children.
Thinking of this, Drake’s expression turned gloomy.
The two of them returned to the table. Jane was in a good mood as she prepared to eat when Drake’s cold voice barked:
“Give me that!”
Jane took a bite of the steak and looked up at the man in puzzlement.
“You want this too?”
Jane was a little stunned. She looked at the man with cold eyes. This was a gift she planned to give Zoe. No matter what, she would not hand it over.
