Jane stood by April’s side, even though April didn’t say anything, Jane could feel the emotional pain she was going through.
Betrayal from a lover is something no one can endure.
“April can’t handle you like this. She’s an artist and needs to focus on her career. If you keep pestering her like this over and over again, where will that leave her?”
Jane spoke firmly with no sympathy in her tone.
“I know I messed up back then when I did what I did. I regret it now and just want to make things right.”
Marco deeply regretted his actions but faced Jane’s coldness as he pleaded with her.
“It’s too late for that now,” Jane rejected him outright. She wouldn’t let Marco hurt April again for the sake of April’s future, “If you had faced the public scrutiny with April before, then maybe I would have respected you as a responsible boyfriend. But what you’ve done has disappointed me.”
Marco had already missed his chance; he knew he couldn’t regain Jane and April’s trust, “I’m willing to clear things up now and give her back her innocence.”
“Do you want the company to go bankrupt?”
Jane was furious; she despised Marco for acting like this.
The incident had already happened; it was hard enough for the company to get through it all, and April was slowly recovering from its shadow. If Marco brought it up again, there would be more damage than good done.
Marco fell silent; he knew he acted recklessly this time around.
“April is no longer the same April as before. Her affairs will naturally be handled by the company, so you don’t need to worry about it,” Jane coldly stated. At this point, all she could do was provide April with a good environment for recovery.
“What do you mean?” Marco widened his eyes, wondering if April would truly disregard their relationship after the incident.
“She has become much stronger than before. It was you who abandoned her first, so you can’t blame her for being heartless,” Jane replied indifferently. Then, she bypassed Marco and prepared to leave. “If you go to the hospital to find April again, I will make you leave.”
Faced with Jane’s strong threat, Marco found himself unable to utter a word.
He stood motionless, memories of the days spent with April constantly surfacing in his mind…
After Jane left the office, her face turned pale, and she went straight to the company’s entrance.
Marco’s childish behavior had infuriated her to no end, so she needed to calm down.
Just as she arrived at the company’s entrance, she noticed a familiar car parked in front.
Squinting her eyes, she looked at the license plate and realized it was Patrick’s car.
Without much thought, she pursed her lips and walked over, pulling open the passenger seat and sitting down.
“Why are you here?” Jane asked, her anger still not completely dissipated.
“I finished with the company’s matters and wanted to come see you,” Patrick replied. His complexion had improved since the company’s situation had turned around.
He noticed the emotions on Jane’s face and his eyes filled with tenderness. “What happened? Who made you so angry?”
Jane sighed, feeling helpless. “What else could it be? The company’s affairs, of course. They really got on my nerves.”
Two usually domineering and strong individuals softened their edges when facing each other, their tones becoming more gentle.
“Now that we’re both out, let’s not dwell on it,” Patrick comforted softly, leaning towards Jane’s petite figure and extending his hand.
Seeing Patrick approaching, Jane immediately blushed and hurriedly covered her face, closing her eyes.
“Hah…”
Suddenly, Patrick’s teasing voice reached her ears. “Miss North, do you really think I’m going to kiss you?”
“N-No,” Jane stammered, the previous emotions already dissipated.
“Oh? Is that so?”
Then, Patrick lifted Jane’s chin and gently kissed her soft lips.
The cold touch came, and Jane slowly closed her eyes, ready to respond to Patrick’s kiss.
The next second, Patrick released his hand and turned to the back of Jane, fastening her seatbelt.
“Follow traffic rules and buckle up.”
“You!”
Jane realized she had been played by Patrick, her face turning red.
Patrick laughed heartily and then turned the steering wheel, leaving Star Entertainment.
Throughout the entire journey, Jane complained about Patrick. Faced with Jane’s girlish appearance, Patrick’s mood became even more comfortable.
Finally, the car stopped in front of a movie theater.
Jane then realized Patrick’s purpose for coming this time and smiled politely. “What’s this? Mr. Pansy suddenly in the mood for a date with me?”
“Naughty,” Patrick lightly hooked Jane’s straight nose, his eyes filled with tenderness.
Since the incident at their company, both of them had been focused on handling company matters and hadn’t gone on a date for a long time.
Today, a new movie was being released, and Patrick heard people talking about it, so he thought of bringing Jane to watch it.
Patrick got out of the car and quickly walked to the other side, gently bending down like a gentleman to open the car door for Jane. Then he extended his hand. “Please, my princess.”
Jane lowered her head and smiled lightly, placing her delicate and smooth hand on Patrick’s outstretched hand. She put her feet on the ground and stood up.
Jane naturally held Patrick’s hand, and the two of them walked into the movie theater like an ordinary couple. They were inseparable along the way, as if they had fallen into a honey jar.
Patrick had instructed his secretary to buy the movie tickets in advance.
Jane couldn’t believe how charming Patrick had become.
After finishing the movie, Jane was clearly feeling a bit tired. Patrick had chosen a romantic film, which she had no interest in.
Although they were already married, Patrick rarely felt the desire for romance and decided to endure and watch it with wide-open eyes.
Patrick noticed Jane’s weariness and put his arm around her shoulder. “Let’s go, we’ll buy you some new clothes.”
“Huh?”
Jane hesitated for a moment. “Don’t you have the servants buy new clothes every quarter? We have so many clothes at home, I have enough to wear.”
“Don’t lie.”
Patrick didn’t give Jane any room to refuse. “There’s no such thing as having enough clothes for a woman. You’re my woman, and you should wear new clothes every day.”
Jane smiled and nodded, wondering where Patrick had learned all this. He even learned how to say it so convincingly.
And so, Patrick led Jane into a luxury store, unlike other boyfriends who would just sit and wait. He accompanied her in selecting new clothes.
This made Jane very happy. She never expected Patrick to have such an awakening.
