Chapter 92
“It was nothing serious,” Drake replied nonchalantly.
“But even so, when you’re sick, there should be someone by your side, right? In the future, you must tell me, okay?” Annie walked forward, reached out and held his hand, with a hint of coquettishness.
Looking at Annie’s movements, Drake felt a strange sensation in his heart and
unconsciously withdrew his hand.
“Alright.”
“The banquet is about to begin. Find a place to rest for a while. I have some things to attend to.” Drake said indifferently.
Seeing Drake retract his hand, even seemingly unconsciously, Annie’s sense of panic increased. She became even more flustered, but she could only force a smile.
“Okay, then you go ahead. I’ll wait for you.”
Drake left, but Annie stood there for a long time until Heather came over.
“Annie, what do you say? Did he say anything?”
Annie shook her head, her expression somewhat desolate. “Mom, I feel that he doesn’t love me anymore. He seems alienated, and there’s even a hint of distance. What should I do?” “Don’t worry, you still have that token of love in your hand. As long as you have it, Drake Warner cannot escape from your grasp.” Heather reassured her.
Hearing this, Annie finally felt somewhat relieved. “Mom, you’re right. No matter what, I can’t give up first. The position of Mrs Warner is within my grasp.”
“You’re right. No matter what, you can’t give up. As for Jane, don’t worry too much. She couldn’t beat you before, and she might not be your opponent now,” Heather said.
At the mention of Jane, a coldness flickered in Annie’s eyes, “The most despicable one is Zachary. It’s obvious that I treated him well all these years, but as soon as Jane came back, he treated me as if I did not exist. He is truly a hateful child.”
Annie unconsciously blurted out her thoughts, not realizing that Drake, who had returned, had heard all her words completely..Originally, he had come back, thinking that his attitude towards Annie just now was not good enough. He wanted to warn Annie a few words, but he unexpectedly witnessed Annie’s disgust toward Zachary in her words, causing his expression to turn dark as ink.
He had always thought that Annie was kind–hearted, but he didn’t expect her to have such a hidden side.
Drake was still thinking, but Annie had already walked away with Heather, and they were drifting farther and farther away.
At this moment, Jane was looking at three well–dressed cute babies, especially Zachary and Zane, who were wearing identical little suits. They were so similar in appearance and temperament.

Zoe, on the other hand, was wearing a beautiful princess dress, with her hair styled into a lovely princess bun. She stood between the two boys, resembling a little princess
“What are you guys doing?” Jane couldn’t help but ask when she saw how the three adorable babies had been carefully dressed up.
“I prepared a performance for Grandma to celebrate her birthday, and I invited Zane and Zoe to join me.”
Hearing this, Jane was taken aback. Giving a performance for Courtney meant that Zoe and Zane would be put in the spotlight.
Jane hesitated, not wanting to let Courtney know the identities of Zoe and Zane.
“Zac, does grandma know that Zoe and Zane are my children?” Jane quickly asked.
“I don’t know.” Zachary gave a negative answer, which made Jane breathe a sigh of relief. “Zac, it’s okay for Zoe and Zane to perform with you, but can you promise the teacher not to tell anyone that Zoe and Zane are my children?” Jane requested.
Hearing this, Zachary was a little puzzled, but he still nodded, “Okay.”
Hearing Zachary’s answer, Jane reached out and gently caressed his hair. “Zac, you’re really a good boy. I am relieved now, because I trust you to take care of Zane and Zoe.”
“Beautiful teacher, you can rest assured. I will definitely take good care of Zoe and Zane.” Zachary said, patting his chest.
“Who asked you to take care of us?” Zane muttered disdainfully.
With a cold face, Zane exuded a certain air of maturity for his young age.
If it wasn’t for Zachary promising to take him to dive next time, Zane would not have agreed to perform with him.
After sending the three little ones away, Jane prepared to return to the banquet hall. Just then, a figure walked out from the shadows.
“I didn’t expect you to have two more lovely children, after not seeing you for so many years. Are they Drake’s?”
Charles asked calmly. Noticing Charles‘ sudden appearance, Jane’s expression became indifferent.
“Eavesdropping on other people’s conversations is not something a gentleman would do.”
Jane’s slight favorable impression of Charles disappeared in an instant.
“You misunderstood. I just arrived, I didn’t intend to eavesdrop on your conversation.” Charles explained.
He even raised his finger and swore to the heavens. “I, Charles Holbrook, swear that I won’t tell anyone about what I heard and saw today. If I break this oath, I will be punished by the heavens.”
Hearing Charles take such a solemn oath, Jane’s expression improved slightly.
“Miss Bentley, don’t worry. I, Charles Holbrook, will keep it a secret. However, I’m still curious about what happened just now. I would appreciate it if you could tell me and quell

my doubts.”
Jane hesitated for a moment upon hearing these words, and then shook her head.
Hearing her answer, Charles seemed pleased. “That’s great.”
Looking at Charles’s pleased expression, Jane understood what he was thinking, but since he didn’t say it outright, she didn’t speak up either.
Otherwise, it would make her seem presumptuous.
“I’ll go first, Charles, please.” Jane said as she walked directly into the hall.
From a distance, Drake’s cold gaze followed Jane leaving the hall, with an unchanged expression on his face.
Charles, what a nasty guy!
“I didn’t expect my elder sister to be like this. She’s already married to someone as outstanding as you, brother–in–law, yet she still hasn’t forgotten to hook up with other men.” Amy appeared beside Drake again, and immediately, his expression turned even more frigid, while she was complaining indignantly.
Drake’s gaze shifted to Amy. His cold eyes caused Amy to retreat slightly, but she still plucked up the courage to speak
“I heard that my sister had been in a dating arrangement with Charles before. At that time, Mr. Holbrook liked her very much. Unfortunately, she did not agree. I never thought that after all these years, my sister would become interested in Mr. Holbrook again.”
“Brother–in–law, do you think my sister has fallen for Charles Holbrook?”
Η
Amy raised her head, deliberately revealing her slender swan neck, with a hint of seduction in her eyes.
Although Charles Holbrook was fine if Jane could marry Drake Warner, it should be possible for her as well.
With such thoughts in mind, when Amy looked at Drake, she showed a hint of charm in her expressions.
Drake noticed the blatant seduction in Amy’s eyes and caught a glimpse of Jane approaching.
With a long arm, he wrapped her arms around Amy’s waist.
Caught off guard by his sudden actions, Amy was momentarily stunned, but when she regained her senses, she looked at him with delight and surprise in her eyes…
“Brother–in–law…”
