Day Seventy-Four...

~~*****~~

Jane kept wondering where Vincent was bringing her. To her surprise, the car stopped in front of his villa.

'Huh? Why did he bring me here? Is Monica here?' Jane frowned as she scanned the surroundings through the car window.Thi/s chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.co/m

"Let's go." Vincent softly mumbled. He was in a good mood. He stepped out of the car first, opening the car door for Jane.

Jane was still trying to figure out why Vincent chose this place when a small figure came out of the gate, rushing in Jane's direction.

"Mom!" Mia called her as she hugged Jane's legs.

Feeling confused, Jane gazed down, observing the little girl who had just called her Mom.

'Mom? Did she mistake me for her mother?' Jane shifted her gaze to Vincent, giving him a questioning gaze.

Vincent just smiled at her meaningfully. Unknown to Jane, Vincent grabbed this opportunity to fulfill his promise to Mia. She had been pestering Vincent to see Jane once again.

Monica was not around because she was currently in the hospital, taking care of Maximilian Carlsen. His condition has already improved.

"Come inside," Vincent invited Jane. "I guess you might not have eaten dinner yet. Our Cook will prepare dinner. Do you have any requests?"

Jane just shook her head as a response. She didn't go there to eat. She needed to find out what Vincent was planning to do against Nathan and the Sparks Family.

Mia, on the other hand, pulled Jane, dragging her slowly toward the house. She could see the enthusiasm in the young girl's eyes.

"You are Mia, right?" Jane finally started a conversation with Mia.

Mia bobbed her head frantically, flashing her innocent smile. She held Jane's hand tightly as if she didn't want to let go of her.

Jane still couldn't understand why Mia wanted to be with her. 'Do I really have a strong resemblance with her mother?'

The three of them were still playing when Jane's phone vibrated. Nathan was calling her. Vincent saw Nathan's caller ID on her phone screen. His expression turned cold and grim when Jane stood up and excused herself to answer the call.

Vincent could only watch her back while gritting his teeth. He hated it that Nathan interrupted their moments.

Nathan was still clueless that Jane went to Vincent's place. If he learned about this, he would get jealous to the core.

"Where are you?" Nathan's worried voice reverberated from the other line. The company's celebration was about to end so Nathan got the chance to look for Jane. He thought she was inside the event hall.

Jane was not able to respond right away. She contemplated whether to tell him the truth or not.

"Jane?" Nathan pondered as to why Jane was silent.

"Nate... don't get mad. Currently, I'm here in Vincent's place. I confronted him a while ago. And we ended up going to his place–" Jane hadn't finished her sentence yet when Nathan cut her off.

"Go home now! Leave that place as soon as possible!" Nathan raised his voice as he ordered Jane to go home. He was worried about what Vincent might do to Jane. He just declared to Nathan that he would steal everything from him including his woman.

Jane was about to say something when Vincent snatched the phone from her. He was the one who spoke to Nathan and said, "Calm down, Nate. I'll send her home myself. I'll take good care of her." Vincent smirked mischievously after saying that. It was his goal to make Nathan jealous.

"Vincent. Give back my phone," Jane demanded.

But Vincent just shook his head, lifting the phone using his hand. He tried to keep the phone away from Jane's reach.

"Vincent, I'm serious." Jane pursed her lips. She had a nagging feeling that Nathan would explode from anger and jealousy if Vincent won't return the phone to her.

With no choice left, Jane extended her hand and moved closer to capture Vincent's wrist. She needed to get her phone back before Nathan exploded in anger.

Vincent stepped back, with a cheeky grin, holding the phone just out of Jane's reach as he dodged her attempts to reclaim it. Their struggles escalated, and in their back-and-forth movement, a sudden misstep caused them to collide.

With a surprised gasp, Jane stumbled forward, her momentum causing her to topple into Vincent. The two of them fell to the ground– Jane was on top of Vincent.

They were in that position when Jane swiftly reached for her phone. But Vincent was determined to tease her further, moving his hand away from her. And Jane ended up tugging his sleeve and her eyes caught a glimpse of Vincent's black-inked tattoo. Jane's body froze as soon as she recognized that tattoo.
