Chapter 490 The Invitation



Day Fifty-Six...

~~*****~~

[ At Towerville City... ]

Jane toured Tatsumi around the city. Chantha was sulking in the driver's seat because she appeared to be the third wheel among them. Tatsumi was very attentive to Jane.

He had a bright personality and a great sense of humor. Even Chantha could laugh at his jokes. But aside from that, Tatsumi was also a gentleman.

He always opened the car door for Jane, guiding and escorting her as they walked on the streets. When they stopped in the restaurant, Tatsumi shouldered the bill. He always pulled the chair for Jane, putting food on her plate.

Bystanders might mistake them for a couple. Tatsumi never holds back. He was showing his sweetness and thoughtfulness toward Jane. In his mind, he needed to impress the daughter of their clan leader. He already imagined marrying her as both of them would run and lead the Sawada Clan together.

These kinds of thoughts brought excitement to Tatsumi, his heart fluttering. It was a great honor to have this lovely maiden as his wife. It became part of his fantasy. However, Jane just treated him naturally.

As their last destination today, Tatsumi and Jane decided to visit Towerville City Park. Chantha could no longer bear following the two so she stayed behind.

Tatsumi pulled Jane toward the lighthouse where they could enjoy the overlooking view of the city. "My Lady... this place is amazing!" Tatsumi paused and turned to look at her. "And so beautiful," he added, his eyes sparkling as he stared at her charming face.

Jane didn't notice the way he looked at her since her eyes focused on the city view below them.

'I should have brought Ethan and Nathan here to enjoy the scenery together.' Jane thought to herself. Though she was with Tatsumi, Jane couldn't stop herself from thinking about Ethan and Nathan.

"My Lady..." Tatsumi called her again.Updated from n0velbIn.(c)o/m

"Just call me Jane." She didn't want Tatsumi calling her 'my lady'. It sounded awkward.

"My Jane?" he cracked a joke.

Jane immediately gave him a side glance. Tatsumi raised his fingers, forming a peace sign while letting out a soft chuckle.

"Sis!" Cherry's excited voice was heard from the other line. "Where are you?"

"Towerville City Park. Why?" She asked her confusedly. Black Rose sounded like she had something urgent to say.

"Sis, do you want to go on a trip with me? You need to relax and recuperate." Black Rose invited her.

"I'm sorry. I have to deal with so many things. I can't afford to go on a vacation." Jane rejected the invitation right away.

She heard Cherry heaving a sigh of disappointment. She wanted to go on this trip together with Jane.

"Okay, sis. If you won't go, then I will also stay behind. I'll tell Aiden about this. He is the one who organized this trip because he planned on helping Nathan. He thought this trip would help Abigail remember Nathan as they spend time together."

Jane's eyebrows twitched when she heard that. This only meant Nathan and Abigail were going on this trip and Aiden served as the matchmaker.

'Sigh. That fool! Is he trying to make things difficult for me by bringing Nathan and my sister together?! I can't let this happen.'

"If my sister is going, then I have to accompany her. I'm coming with you!" Jane changed her mind instantly.

Cherry rejoiced when Jane finally agreed to tag along with them. "Great! We will surely enjoy this! Please pack your things tonight. We will leave tomorrow."

After reminding Jane about the trip, Cherry said goodbye to her.

"Are you going somewhere?" Tatsumi heard the conversation between Cherry and Jane. "May I come?" he asked her permission.

Jane just bobbed her head. "Sure. But you have to buy your own plane ticket."

Tatsumi just chuckled. "Oh, sure. That's not a problem."

Jane gave him a faint smile. Tatsumi was easy to talk to so she didn't mind bringing him along with her.

"Wait, Tatsu. I'll just call someone." Jane excused herself as she remembered Dave. She needed to mess up Aiden's plan by bringing Dave. She couldn't allow Aiden to succeed. Nathan and Abigail shouldn't be together!

Dave's phone rang for five seconds before he was able to answer Jane's call. They already exchanged numbers since Dave was contacting Jane regarding his investigation. He was still monitoring Veronica as she was one of the suspects who might have hired an assassin to kill Abigail.

"Hello, Jane?"

"Dave, stop your investigation for now. You have to fly with us tomorrow. We are going on a trip with my sister." Jane declared to him without even consulting him.

"Uhm... O-Okay."
