“Sir, this amusement park is owned by our Warner Corporation, and this is the President,” the two staff members who came forward directly said after the man’s words.
Upon hearing the staff members, disbelief flickered across the man’s face as he looked at Drake.
“How is that possible?”
Zane gazed at the towering man before him, momentarily losing his composure. Was this what having a father felt like?
As Zane regained his senses, he found himself enveloped in Drake’s embrace, hoisted effortlessly onto his neck.
Zane was taken aback, never expecting such a gesture from Drake.
“Put me down…” Zane couldn’t describe the feeling in his heart, tightly clutching Drake’s collar, his voice trembling slightly.
“This way, no one will call you a little kid anymore,” Drake said with a hint of a smile on his lips.
Hearing his words, Zane’s heart became even more complicated.
His scumbag father was trying to win him over, shamelessly so. He must not be swayed.
Shaking his little head, Zane tried to suppress the sudden surge of emotions in his heart.
Jane decided against taking the kids to Maplewood Mansion and instead took them back to their own home after the amusement park.
Jane’s reason for leaving was that her best friend had just arrived, and she wanted to make the most of their time together.
Jane and the kids left, Drake choosing not to speak a single word.
Jane noticed that Zane was absent–minded when she was putting the two kids to sleep that night. Jane picked up on the uneasy atmosphere and spoke in a quiet tone to address the
issue.
“Zane, what’s the matter? Why do you seem troubled since we came back from the amusement park?”
Zane took a moment to collect his thoughts before answering Jane’s question with a spontaneous response.
“Mommy, wouldn’t it be nice to have a father too?”
Zane’s question caught Jane off guard, leaving her bewildered and trying to make sense of his sudden words.
Perhaps there was an important event that took place at the amusement park, or maybe it was simply the familial bond between Zane and Drake becoming more apparent
An avalanche of thoughts flooded her mind, each one bringing forth a new possibility. At the exact moment that Jane figured out how to respond to Zane’s query, Zane shuddered

and addressed her.
“Mommy, I was just saying it casually. Don’t take it to heart. I have you and little sister. that’s enough, and I will protect you and little sister too.”
“Zane…” Jane was experiencing a slight pang of guilt as she realised that it was entirely her fault that Zane and Zoe had been raised without a father figure. She was obligated to them. and needed to make it right.
“Mommy, I’m tired. I want to sleep.” Sensing Jane’s unnatural expression, Zane quickly spoke up.
He settled himself in the bed and shut his eyes, ready to fall asleep.
Jane’s soft chuckle was followed by a moment of silence, during which she didn’t say anything more.
Zane’s words left a lasting impression on Jane, causing her to spend a significant amount of time pondering that night. The next day, she got up early and began her routine of making breakfast for the kids before taking them to kindergarten.
Jane had an unexpected encounter with Drake as she arrived at the entrance of the kindergarten, where he was dropping off his son Zac.
After the three adorable kids entered the kindergarten, Drake attempted to pull Jane into his car, but Jane was resolute in her refusal to get in the car with him.
“I have my own car. I don’t want to ride with you.”
“The car can stay. I have some work–related matters to discuss with you. Come and ride
with me.” Drake pulled Jane into the car without allowing any refusal.
With Drake pulling her into the car against her will, Jane wore a cold expression on her face.
“What work–related matter? Just say it.”
“Start driving.” Without answering Jane’s question, Drake directly instructed the driver to
start the car.
With the car now moving, the driver took a sharp turn at a relatively high speed.
Jane, who was sitting in the car, was suddenly thrown into Drake’s arms when the car came to a sudden stop. As soon as she saw Drake, he pulled her into a tight embrace with his long arms, holding onto her arm with his other hand. They locked eyes and assumed a posture that was both puzzling and unclear.
As soon as Jane regained her senses, she made a move to sit up straight and create some space between herself and Drake. Just then, the car made a sudden turn, causing her to be thrown into Drake’s embrace once more.
This time, the impact was harder, and she ended up on top of him, feeling his chest rise and fall rapidly.
Despite her annoyance, Jane couldn’t help but notice the hint of a smile at the corners of Drake’s mouth.
The driver has been doing an exceptional job and deserves a raise. He was not only a skilled driver, but also a mature and considerate one.

The journey was bumpy, and Jane was thrown into Drake’s arms more than once. Jane suspected that Drake had orchestrated the situation to make it seem like he wasn’t involved.
Finally, they arrived at the company. Just as the car stopped, Jane jumped out of the car and walked away quickly without even looking back at Drake.
Drake got out of the car, careful not to make any noise, and followed Jane’s movements with his eyes, a smirk forming on his face.
As soon as Jane arrived at the company, she quickly made her way to her workstation without any delay, fully prepared to settle in and dedicate herself to a long day of work.
Because of her busy life, Jane found it challenging to keep up with both her jobs at Warner Corporation and at Catherine’s. She made an effort to finish her work during working hours so that she could spend time with the kids in the evening.
Jane was focused on her work when the office suddenly filled with the sounds of ringing phones and chattering coworkers. Jane’s gaze shifted upwards just as her colleagues informed her that Charles Holbrook, the president of Holbrook Corporation, had arrived.
Jane was momentarily stunned upon hearing Charles‘ name, feeling a mix of emotions.
Given that Holbrook Corporation and Warner Corporation were opponents, Charles impromptu visit to the latter must have had an objective.
Drake’s cold and indifferent attitude was palpable as he looked at Charles Holbrook in the
office.
“Mr Charles, what brings you here?”
As Drake spoke unwelcoming words, Charles smiled politely and got straight to the point.
“I came to see Mr Warner for cooperation.”
“You and I have nothing to cooperate on,” Drake said flatly.
“While I did secure the investment project, the materials for the project are only available under your name. You knew I would come to you, didn’t you?” Charles said.
Drake did not contradict the statement made by Charles when he heard it. He couldn’t let Charles have all the success with the project after snatching it away, so he took action. Drake had taken the initiative to make preparations and had monopolised the materials needed for the project.
Charles‘ visit was exactly what he had anticipated.
Charles felt a twinge of animosity towards Drake upon witnessing his tranquil and poised comportment, although he refrained from displaying any signs of it.
The next item on their agenda was to talk about the price of buying the materials, which Charles and Drake then engaged in. They had a series of discussions and negotiations which led to them reaching an agreement that was mutually beneficial for both parties.
“I can live with Mr Warner’s price, even though it’s not a bargain. I’ve got one condition though – Jane’s gotta be the point person for our companies working together,” Charles. added.
“No!” Drake rejected it outright before Charles could finish speaking.
