Chapter 26: Not for lack of trying

Book:Deep Love: Let's remarry! Published:2024-6-2

Looking at Jane Gardner’s back as she ran away in a huff, Zachary Irwin inexplicably recalled the image of the first time he saw her seven years ago.
At that time, he had not yet taken over the Irwin completely, the Irwin was still in the hands of Ottilia Amos.
In addition to going to work every day, he liked to take a break at a cafe owned by the Irwin.
Through the floor-to-ceiling glass of the cafe, he saw Jane Gardner, in school uniform, running into the Irwin restaurant next door to the cafe.
It was drizzling that day, and her hair was dyed with water droplets on both braids.
He rarely sees someone who can smile so simply and purely.
In this materialistic society, he was used to seeing falsehoods and deceptions.
Jane Gardner’s smile was like a ray of light that opened the door to a new world.
Since then, he could see Jane Gardner working in the restaurant from time to time.
When customers bullied her, she kept bending over backwards to apologize.
A colleague brought her a lunch and she was so happy she was about to fly.
She is like a blank sheet of paper, everything is written on her face.
And her face, the vast majority of the time is a smile.
But since when had he never seen her smile again?
He clearly remembered that on her wedding night, she had also smiled coyly.
It was because he had uncovered her and let all her disguised plans fall through, so he couldn’t smile?
That must be it. This woman has a lot of flaws, but not many good points!
The impression he had of her in the cafe was all his fault.
She was deceiving him all along!
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he felt. Zachary Irwin picked up his jacket and turned around to go downstairs.
“Young master, the meal will be ready when I heat it up, you want to go out now?”
Nanny Finn didn’t see them come down for half a day, and felt happy for Jane Gardner in her heart, but she didn’t expect that Zachary Irwin would go out as soon as he came downstairs.
He left Jane Gardner alone again.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be back to sleep at night!”
Glancing at Nanny Finn, Zachary Irwin slammed the door behind him.
The whole time, Jane Gardner didn’t care, didn’t even give a glance.
She knew there was no way he could stay at Maravilla.
When he left the house at this time, there were naturally heaps of women rushing towards him outside.
With a self-deprecating smile, Jane Gardner looked down and ate.
Nanny Finn looked at Jane Gardner sitting alone at the table and touched the tears in her eyes.
“Young lady, I know you’re still blaming me for being a good advocate, but even if you keep blaming me, I still don’t regret it!
You are still young, if you don’t make an effort to try to bring the young master back, you will have regrets when you are old.”
After saying that, Nanny Finn turned around and brought up the last pot of soup.
Carefully, she served it up to Jane Gardner.
Looking at the chicken soup with the oil skimmed off, Jane Gardner’s heart was moved.
Nanny Finn has done for her, she saw all the things.
But she didn’t know that it was really impossible for her and Zachary Irwin.
She worked hard, she worked hard for three years, but what did she get in return?
Is it the unseen scars?
Not wanting to tell Nanny Finn everything, Jane Gardner went upstairs without soup.
This night, Zachary Irwin did not come back after all.
Jane Gardner did not want to think about whether he was with Ivel Day again, but inside the mind, always uncontrollable to think blindly.
Not liking the way she was affected by Zachary Irwin, Jane Gardner had to get up and practice her dance.
Now the Dragon City Top 10 is out.
Next, it’s the nation.
A total of 10 top 10s from 10 regions, 100 people in all, are coming to Dragon City to compete.
The competition is huge, and the competition will be even fiercer than before.
She didn’t dare to slack off, but she kept going and going.
For the next four days, Jane Gardner left the house in the morning and Zachary Irwin was already at work.
In the evening, when she returned from training, he had not yet arrived home.
If Nanny Finn hadn’t been afraid of her imagination, she would have thought he wasn’t staying at Maravilla if she hadn’t told him he was coming back every night and sleeping in the guest room.
However, Jane Gardner felt relieved if the days could be staggered like that.
In the next few days, Selena Lott, knowing that the situation would be a worrying one, also spent her own money and contacts to hire two teachers to give Jane Gardner private lessons.
However, both of them are fully committed to the competition in a week’s time, so John Lott has no one to take care of him.
Even for the usual pick-ups and drop-offs, Selena Lott had to squeeze in some time like toothpaste.
The day before the race, Jane Gardner had everything ready, and Selena Lott remembered that she had forgotten to pick up John Lott again.
In a fit of guilt, she grabbed her bag and ran to the nursery.
On the way, to apologize, she also bought John Lott a small chocolate cake.
The two of them had always lived on a shoestring, and they only ate chocolate cake once a month.
Selena Lott’s heart melted as she looked at the cake and thought of John Lott’s happy face.
But when she arrived at the kindergarten, the teacher told her that John Lott had been picked up a long time ago, or John Lott ran to the man of his own accord, and looked so close that the teacher mistook them for a family.
The cake fell to the ground in her hand, Selena Lott for so many years, has long been cut off from all relatives of her mother’s family, it is impossible for anyone to know that John Lott in this kindergarten.
Thinking of the recent rampage of human traffickers, Selena Lott dialed Jane Gardner’s number in fear.
She told herself what if Jane Gardner had seen she was busy and sent someone to pick up.
When Jane Gardner heard the general content and said she hadn’t sent anyone to pick up John Lott, Selena Lott became even more desperate.
“Selena, wait for me at the kindergarten, I’ll come right over.”
Not daring to delay, and despite Selena Lott’s discouragement, Jane Gardner firmly set aside her training to come to the kindergarten.
The two of them, led by the teacher, pulled out the kindergarten surveillance, and finally found that the one who picked up John Lott was actually Codie Wei.
Jane Gardner frowned when she thought of Codie Wei’s unspoken attempts to get in touch with her a few days before.
“Codie Wei, how can it be him!”
Looking at Codie Wei’s close interaction with John Lott, Selena Lott couldn’t tell how she felt at that moment.
“He’s suspecting that John is his son and may take John for a paternity test.”
Jane Gardner told Selena Lott of her suspicions, “If he did get the test, would John be hidden from him?”
Selena Lott’s legs weakened at the thought of never seeing John Lott again, and she almost lost her footing.
Jane Gardner held her up, knowing that she was normally strong, but also a normal mother who loved her child, “Andy Winters should know Codie Wei’s phone number, you wait for me.”
Thinking about the last car ride, Jane Gardner tried to dial Andy Winters’ number, but after flipping through the pages, it occurred to her that she only had Zachary Irwin’s number and Andy Winters’ was …
Not wanting to find Zachary Irwin, Jane Gardner dialed Nanny Finn’s number and finally got Andy Winters’ number.
“Young lady?”
Andy Winters’ phone seemed to have Jane Gardner’s number saved on it, and he knew who she was before she even spoke.
“Do you have Codie Wei’s number?” Jane Gardner asked.
“Yes. I wonder what the young lady wants?”
The first time Andy Winters received a call from Jane Gardner, it was to ask for another man.
Andy Winters looked up at Zachary Irwin, who was concentrating on his contract at his desk, and felt the need to ask what was going on.
