Mr. Warner Your Ex
Chapter 96
Chapter 96
On this day, Jane didn’t go to work. Her body was terribly sore after a night of ravaging, making it impossible for her to get up and go to work.
Drake seemed to be aware of her discomfort and took the initiative to say, “You rest here. In the afternoon, I will have the driver pick up the two children.”
Jane initially wanted to decline, but her body was in so much pain that she couldn’t muster the words to refuse.
After tidying up, Drake went downstairs feeling refreshed, preparing to go to work. If it weren’t for canceling a contract yesterday, he would have liked to stay home and accompany Jane.
But because of what happened yesterday, he had to go to the company today to deal with it and handle the related matters.
When he went downstairs, Zachary was already sitting at the dining table and eating breakfast. Drake walked over and said softly.
“Today, the driver will take you to the kindergarten. In the afternoon, the driver will pick you, Zane, and Zoe up. Do you understand?”
Zachary was eating breakfast, and when she heard Drake’s words, he raised her head and asked,
“Daddy, the maid said last night that you brought the beautiful teacher home. Why isn’t the beautiful teacher coming downstairs with you?”
“She’s not feeling well,” Drake explained.
“Not feeling well? Is the beautiful teacher sick?! I’ll go and check on her.” Saying that, Zachary stood up, preparing to go upstairs.
Drake quickly stopped him. “You can’t see her.”
“Why?” Zachary looked at his father, puzzled.
“A few days ago, you said you wanted to go diving and take Zane with you. This weekend, you choose a place, and I’ll take you both there.” Drake changed the subject, diverting Zachary’s attention.
Upon hearing something interesting, Zachary was really no longer that persistent about going to see Jane.
“Well, I don’t know where to go. I’ll ask Zane when I go to school later if he has any place he wants to go.”
“Okay, then quickly eat breakfast. I’ll have the driver take you to school.” Drake stepped forward and lifted Zachary to the chair.
At first, Zachary was still thinking about finishing breakfast and going upstairs to see Jane, but after breakfast, Drake immediately sent her into the car without giving him a chance to go upstairs.
After Drake went to work, at noon, he received a call from the housekeeper in the villa,

saying that the woman named Amy, who had come last time was here again, and she even brought chicken soup for him. The housekeeper asked if they should keep it.
When Drake heard this, he subconsciously wanted to tell the housekeeper to ignore it. But when he thought of Jane, he changed his mind.
“Keep the soup and find an excuse to send her away,” he instructed the housekeeper.
With Drake’s words, the housekeeper kept the chicken soup as instructed and sent Amy
away.
As for that portion of chicken soup, it unsurprisingly ended up in front of Jane.
Without thinking too much, Jane drank the soup directly after seeing it. After taking a sip, she realized it was delicious and could tell it had been simmered for a long time with an old
hen.
“Thank you for your hard work, Mrs. Durand.”
“Miss Bentley, you’re welcome. This is what the young master ordered.” Mrs. Durand said. with a smile.
Hearing that Drake had arranged this, a strange feeling arose in Jane’s heart.
On the other side, Amy left Green Bay. Although she could not go in, the butler said that it was Master Warner’s idea to leave the chicken soup, which meant that Drake had some interest in her.
Amy thought happily in her heart that next time, she would come over when Drake was around, and there might be a chance for them to be alone together.
When she got home, Amy told her mother about this, but Rosaline looked at Amy in disapproval.
“Amy, Drake has already married Jane. You better stop thinking about him as soon as possible. It’s impossible between you two.”
Rosaline only found out about Amy’s thoughts about Drake after Courtney’s birthday banquet
She didn’t know what had gotten into Amy, who had suddenly lost interest in Charles and became determined to be with Drake.
Rosaline, being a high–end duplicitous schemer, naturally understood that someone like Drake couldn’t be handled by just any woman. At least, her daughter Amy didn’t possess that capability.
However, Amy stubbornly plunged ahead, and today she even specially cooked chicken soup and brought it to Drake.
“Mom, I feel like Drake still has feelings for me. As long as I work harder, I might become the lady of the house.” Amy shamelessly declared.
“You, daydreaming in broad daylight. Only after suffering losses do you realize your lesson,” Roseline looked at her disappointing daughter, helpless. However, she didn’t stop Amy from wanting to cling to Drake.
As the saying goes, cast a wide net and catch many fish. If she could capture Drake, that

would be great. If she couldn’t, there was still Charles Holbrook.
After drinking the chicken soup, Jane couldn’t fall asleep anymore. Her body still ached, so she leaned on the bed and watched Joe’s new clothing design for the next season.
Suddenly, a call came in. Seeing the unmarked number on the screen, Jane furrowed her brows and answered with a cold tone, “What do you want?”
Upon hearing Jane’s impatience, the person on the other end of the line immediately started cursing, “What’s with your attitude? I’m your father. What’s wrong with me giving you a call? You unfilial daughter, I really regret having you as my daughter.”
Listening to her father’s nagging over the phone, Jane impatiently interrupted, “If there’s nothing important, I’m hanging up.”
She wasn’t crazy to listen to her father scold her on the phone.
Upon hearing Jane’s words, her father, Andew Bentley, was still angry. But he suppressed his anger and spoke to Jane, “There’s a demolition project in the east of the city. It’s being developed by the Warner Corporation as the major investor. Please speak to Drake and let our Bentley family join in.”
Upon hearing this, a cold smile appeared at the corner of Jane’s mouth as she coldly replied to Andew on the other end of the phone.
“It’s not like you don’t know Drake’s attitude towards me. Just because I ask, do you think he will agree? Why? Are you not afraid of Drake’s anger affecting our Bentley family?”
She would never forget that when Drake blamed her for the incident with Annie, Andrew had not only scolded her, but even wanted to sever ties with her for fear of the Bentley family being implicated.
It was precisely because of that incident that her mother met with misfortune.
Hearing Jane mentioning past events, Andrew felt a little worried. However, considering the huge benefits involved, he still wanted to take a risky chance.
“Do you still remember Riverstone Manor? It’s the only real estate your mother left behind. If you can handle this for me, I’ll transfer the manor to your name.” Andrew on the other end of the phone abandoned the method of threatening, instead mentioning what Jane cared about the most.
Jane naturally knew about Riverstone Manor. It was the legacy left by her mother, as well as her mother’s dowry. When she was young, her mother often took her there to play and told her stories from her childhood. The place contained not only her mother’s childhood memories but also her own. It was the only thing left to her by her grandfather.
“You’d better keep your word.” Jane hung up, looking cold and resentful.
Formerly, Drake had always believed that she had married him for ulterior motives. That was why she didn’t comply with any of Andrew’s requests after marrying him.
But this time, for the sake of her mother’s legacy, Jane had no choice but to agree.
