Mike saw the situation and spoke with his hands behind his back, “You guys continue, what are you looking at me for?”
“Grandpa.”
Patrick’s voice turned cold. Mike saw that things were not right and turned around to leave while still talking, “Young people nowadays don’t even close their doors tightly.”
Jane had never been so embarrassed before. She covered her face and buried it in Patrick’s chest, not knowing what to say for a moment.
She paused for a moment, then stood up and said, “I’m going to take a shower first.”
However, just as Jane stepped into the bathroom with one foot and was about to close the door with the other foot, a hand pressed against the door frame suddenly startled her.
“What are you doing?” Jane looked at Patrick’s cheek and asked.
Patrick quietly curved his lips upward. He naturally squeezed into the bathroom with an innocent look on his face. “Taking a shower.”
“You!”
Jane could see through what Patrick was about to do at once. She blinked her eyes while still blushing slightly on her face like an adorable girl.
“Patrick! You go first.”
She pouted at Patrick before turning around to leave but was stopped by him wrapping his arms around her waist from behind.
“Didn’t grandpa just say we should work hard together and have a grandchild for him soon? Do you want a son or daughter?”
Patrick, being somewhat rogue, whispered in Jane’s ear, making her earlobes turn red. She playfully nudged Patrick with her elbow.
“I haven’t married you yet.”
“Soon enough, you’ll be mine.” Patrick, with a mixed tone, directly lifted Jane sideways. Jane exclaimed, barely managing to wrap her arms around Patrick’s neck.
“Patrick, you rascal!”
Jane was almost tossed around by Patrick the entire night. In the morning, feeling the person beside him move, Patrick lightly kissed Jane’s forehead, gently asking, “Are you getting up for breakfast?”
Jane, too lazy to open her eyes, just shook her head. Seeing this, Patrick tucked her in and let her continue sleeping.
“I have a meeting at the company shortly, and I’ll be back soon. If you get hungry, ask Amy to cook for you.”
Patrick advised Jane by her ear, but she was busy with her rendezvous with Morpheus and casually replied to Patrick. Patrick shook his head helplessly and left.
However, Jane felt like she hadn’t slept for long when the door was violently knocked. Immediately after, it seemed like someone rushed in, and the sound of the door being pushed open startled Jane awake.
Opening her eyes, Jane found Beatrice entering with a fierce demeanor.
“Oh, still sleeping? What time is it already?”
Beatrice, looking at Jane’s sleepy appearance, couldn’t hide a trace of disgust on her face.
She intentionally came to find Jane only after Patrick left.
“Who let you in?” Jane’s voice turned cold as she looked at Beatrice.
“You dare to speak to me like that!” Beatrice’s voice suddenly became sharp. She looked at Jane with folded arms, gaining confidence to scold her, “Hurry up and get up. There’s a lot to do at home.”
Jane, bothered by Beatrice’s loud voice, rubbed her temples and spoke calmly, “Are you done? If you’re done, please leave.”
Jane was suppressing her anger.
However, Beatrice was relentless. She stepped forward, raising her voice, “Jane, who gave you the audacity to talk to me like this?”
“Quiet!” Jane raised her eyes suddenly, and the coldness in them made Beatrice take a few steps back.
Jane took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, “Are you done? If you’re done, you can leave.”
Jane had no time and energy to confront Beatrice now.
“Jane, don’t think too highly of yourself. Let me tell you, a woman like you will never enter the doors of the Pansy family!” Beatrice remembered something and looked at Jane with a fierce gaze.
“Patrick is the one who will marry me. Do you think your words have any effect?” Turning her wrist, Jane said, “You don’t like me, and similarly, I don’t like you. Can’t we just live peacefully without interfering with each other?”
Hearing this, Beatrice raised her eyebrows, “Jane, he takes himself too seriously. I know all about your affairs.”
“My affairs?” As if hearing something amusing, Jane smiled.
“Jane, stop pretending. Keeping secrets from Patrick, fooling around outside. I have no idea how many men you’ve slept with.” Beatrice spoke ruthlessly.
Hearing this, Jane’s eyes turned cold. She stood in front of Beatrice, slightly taller, and the imposing aura made Beatrice somewhat afraid.
“Who told you all this?” Jane asked.
Thinking she hit a nerve, Beatrice became triumphant.
“Jane, if you are sensible, listen to me, or else I will make you regret it!”
Beatrice smiled coldly on her face, but in her heart, she thought that as long as she held onto this matter tightly, she would definitely be able to drive Jane out.
“Are you threatening me?” Recalling the previous events, Jane looked at Beatrice’s expression and vaguely guessed the meaning behind her words.
Jane’s expression subtly changed to panic as she quietly turned her eyes. “What exactly do you know?”
When had Beatrice seen Jane react like this? She immediately became complacent, “Since you’ve done it yourself, don’t think others won’t find out.”
Saying that, Beatrice turned to leave.
Jane stood in place, shouting loudly, “Don’t go!”
However, as Beatrice turned around, Jane’s expression became very sarcastic.
“It’s impossible! You can’t know!” Jane deliberately shouted loudly.
After Beatrice’s back completely disappeared, Jane sat down. She lazily yawned, thinking that in a few days at Mike’s birthday, there might be some interesting scenes to watch.
The corners of her mouth lifted lightly. At this moment, the phone placed on the bedside table made a ding sound.
Jane turned her head to see the incoming call on the phone, and her eyes moved slightly.
After a simple wash, feeling hungry, Jane went downstairs to prepare some food.
Sure enough, Melissa and Beatrice were sitting on the sofa, talking about something. When they saw Jane coming, their expressions immediately became arrogant.
