Chapter 82
Saying goodbye to Zoe and Zane at the entrance of the kindergarten, Jane was just about to leave when Zac approached her.
“Pretty teacher, can you wait for my daddy to come before you leave? I’m a bit scared. alone,” Zac requested.
Zac’s imploring request was too hard to ignore, leaving Jane with no choice but to patiently wait for Drake to arrive and take him away.
By the time Drake arrived, all the other children had already left, making him the only one left.
“Daddy, why are you so late?” Zac complained in a low voice upon seeing Drake.
Without a word, Drake picked up Zac and left, his expression gloomy and his steps heavy.
Seeing this, Jane made the choice to follow behind with the two children, paying no attention to what she had just witnessed.
From where she stood, Jane could only make out the figures of the two figures as they walked down the street.
Zac couldn’t help but notice the faint red marks on Drake’s face as he held him close.
“Daddy, what happened to your face? Did someone hit you?” Zac asked with concern.
“I fell,” Drake didn’t want to answer Zac’s question, but he couldn’t admit that he had been hit, so he came up with a random excuse.
Zac heard about the fall and turned to see the pretty teacher’s face, which was filled with a mix of concern and surprise. He suddenly had an epiphany, and his eyes widened as he covered his mouth and whispered something.
“Then, Daddy, you must have looked very handsome when you fell.”
Drake’s expression turned icy upon hearing this, and he didn’t say a word.
Jane, who was trailing behind them, burst out laughing upon hearing Zac’s words.
As Drake heard the light laughter, he became even more embarrassed and felt a sense of irony.
Drake’s unprovoked harassment came to a halt after the incident, and Jane was grateful for the peaceful days that followed. He acted as if she didn’t exist, going so far as to avoid eye
contact.
It was a blessing for Jane, and she was grateful. She could finally breathe a sigh of relief, now that she didn’t have to deal with Drake’s pressure anymore. She found herself enjoying life more, and the thought of visiting Maplewood Mansion no longer filled her with dread.
Seeing Zac every day at the kindergarten was the highlight of her mornings. Jane enjoyed it when Zac came over to play with Zane because it gave her the opportunity to see him.
Jane had organised a small gathering at home for Saturday. Her best friend April and adorable child were the only ones invited. They were all looking forward to the hot pot dinner they had planned when Jasper suddenly showed up at their doorstep.

With a warm smile, Jane greeted him, eager for the lively atmosphere that more people would bring.
As the
group sat together, eagerly anticipating the meal to come, the doorbell rang, bringing an unwelcome distraction.
“I’ll get the door,” Jane stood up and went to open it.
Her good mood vanished in an instant as soon as she laid eyes on the person standing outside after opening the door.
“What are you here for?” Jane’s attitude towards Drake was indifferent.
“Zac is sick and wants to see you,” Drake’s voice was cold, even though he could hear the lively atmosphere inside from outside the door.
Zac’s laughter and words had decreased significantly at Maplewood Mansion, now that Zane and Zoe were not around to fill the room with their energy. For no particular reason, he enjoyed coming over to this place.
Without Zac, the entire villa felt even more silent and lonely.
He, who had always liked peace and quiet, was not used to it at all.
“How could Zac get sick? He was fine when he came over yesterday,” Jane had some doubts. She couldn’t help but wonder if Zac had enjoyed their time together as he seemed fine when he left her place yesterday. What could have caused him to fall ill so abruptly?
Drake’s words failed to convince Jane, and she began to suspect him of being dishonest.
“I took him diving today, and he had a fever when we came back,” Drake explained.
As soon as Jane heard Drake’s words, she felt a surge of anger. “Zac is so young, and you took him diving?”
After scolding him in anger, Jane became more worried. “Let me tidy up, and I’ll go with
you.”
Returning to the house, Jane filled in Jasper and April on the situation and requested their help in taking care of the children.
Drake caught a glimpse of the lively scene inside due to the open door. He found himself struggling to understand the complex dynamic between Zane and Zoe.
If Zac had siblings, would he be happier?
Jane instructed Jasper and April to watch the children while she changed into comfortable clothes, then went downstairs with Drake.
During the journey, there was an uneasy silence between them, and the air was thick with tension.
As soon as they arrived at Maplewood Mansion, Jane disappeared inside, but Drake couldn’t help but notice a car parked in the courtyard, causing him to furrow his eyebrows. He sprinted to catch up with Jane, who was already several paces ahead.
Upon walking into Zac’s sick room, Jane saw that Zac was being comforted by Annie’s embrace.

Zac was completely out of it, with a fever so high that his face was beet red, and his eyes were glazed over.
Annie’s motherly demeanour was evident as she comforted him with a gentle touch and whispered reassurances while he murmured “mummy” in his sleep.
“Zac, mommy is here…”
The complexity of emotions Jane felt was overwhelming as she gazed at the scene before her from the doorway.
Annie’s eyes filled with resentment as soon as she noticed Jane. Before long, Drake was there too.
Seeing Drake, Annie quickly concealed the resentment in her eyes and looked at him, speaking softly, “I heard that Zac is sick, so I came to take care of him.”
Jane walked over and directly said to Annie, “Give Zac to me.”
“Zac is my child. He’s sick now and calling for his mommy. Why should I give him to you?” Annie refused.
“Pretty teacher, mommy…” At this moment, Zac, who was unconscious, murmured a few words.
Jane didn’t want to watch Annie put on an act, so she straightforwardly asked, “Zac wants his mommy. Are you his mommy?”
Annie’s expression changed as soon as she heard Jane’s words. She looked at Jane with disbelief, then turned to Drake for an explanation.
Drake also stepped forward and said to Annie, “Give Zac to her.”
Annie’s grip tightened as Drake’s words reverberated in her mind, intensifying her shock.
The thought of letting go filled her with a sense of impending loss.
“Come out, I have something to say to you,” Drake spoke again, and Annie hesitated before handing Zac over to Jane.
After leaving Zac’s room, Annie’s eyes fell on Drake’s peaceful expression, and she couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
“Drake…”
“Let’s talk in the study,” Drake said coldly.
They were sitting across from each other in the study, the only light coming from the lamp on the desk. Annie’s gaze fell on Drake, who exuded an air of negativity, and she took a deep breath to steady herself before speaking.
“Drake, are you still mad at me? I know I was wrong. Please don’t be angry anymore, okay?”
“I know I made a mistake last time, and I’ve realised my mistake. Why are you still Our years of affection can’t outweigh this one mistake I made.”
angry?
Annie’s heart raced as she observed Drake’s unresponsive demeanour, intensifying her apprehension.
“Drake, did you tell Jane about Zac’s identity?” Annie asked, but Drake didn’t answer. He

looked directly at Annie and asked, “What do you want the most?”
