Chapter 865 The Last Mission: Pretty Woman
Day Ninety…
When Nathan and Mrs. Frost returned to the booth, Jane was already awake. She rubbed her eyes upon seeing Nathan at the door.
"Is that my man?" Jane mumbled, asking the group.
The ladies chuckled and replied, "We don't know. Is he the one you told us about?"
Jane smiled mischievously as she stood up. Instead of answering them, she threw herself on Nathan, hugging him.
Everyone was shocked to see how clingy and flirty Jane was. She nuzzled her nose on Nathan's neck, smelling his scent.
"Yes. This is him." She mumbled while giggling. She was still drunk.
"I'm dizzy. Honey, please carry me," Jane demanded while putting on a pitiful face.
The ladies continued laughing and murmuring as they watched this cute and funny interaction between Jane and Nathan. The deadly assassin was acting cute and vulnerable while Nathan remained indifferent and cold. 'Can't she behave properly?' Nathan lamented inwardly. "I'm here to take you home. Ethan has been waiting for you." Nathan removed her hands from his neck. He even used Ethan as an excuse for showing up in that place.
Jane's face brightened up when she heard Ethan's name. "Oh, our cute and charming son. I can't wait to see him. Let's go home!"
Nathan nodded, grabbing Jane's hand. He gently pulled her, leading her out of the booth.
"See you later, girls!" Jane waved at them for one last time as she followed Nathan. They had just stepped out of the club when Jane suddenly hugged Nathan from behind.
"Nate," she called him affectionately.
Nathan froze in his spot, a goosebump spreading throughout his body. He could feel her warmth.
"I love you, Nate…" Jane said those three magic words once again, catching Nathan off guard.
She continued hugging him from behind, her face buried on his back. "I feel cold," she murmured.
Nathan narrowed his eyes when he heard her complaint. He immediately turned around, putting his coat on her. Jane was only wearing a plain shirt and blue jeans. The night air was cold outside that's why she felt cold.
"I can't walk," Jane pouted her lips. "My head is spinning."
Nathan frowned deeply. He darted his gaze back and forth between Jane and the location of his car. After contemplating for a few seconds, Nathan finally gave in, carrying her in his arms in a princess-like carry.
Jane grinned from ear to ear as she took advantage of the situation. She anchored her arms around his neck and sunk further into his body.
Nathan kept his stoic expression even though her presence had started to affect him. He deliberately walked slower than his usual pace until they reached his car.
"Get down now. You can sit in the car." Nathan said, trying to shake her off his body. But Jane remained clinging to him like a koala.
Jane shook her head. "Let me sleep in your arms. Don't drive. Just hired a driver."
Nathan rubbed the space in his eyebrows. Jane was making ridiculous demands when drunk. It was already 11:00 pm. How could he find another driver to drive the car?
"Just get a taxi," Jane suggested, still refusing to go down.
Nathan didn't know how long he could tolerate this woman. However, in the end, he still followed her suggestion. He hailed a taxi cab.
'Damn it! Why am I listening to her?' Nathan realized his action. He couldn't believe it.
Soon, the two of them entered the taxi, settling down in the back passenger seat. Jane continued sitting on Nathan's lap while hugging him. She rested her head on his broad shoulder as she closed her eyes.
She felt somehow comfortable with their current position. Nathan didn't make unnecessary moves as he didn't want to disturb her peaceful sleep. She curled her body in his arms like a fetus.
Nathan could only sigh deeply as he watched Jane's sleeping figure. As he gazed at her, he recalled Mrs. Frost's revelation. He somehow felt mad after knowing what she had gone through in the past.
'I can't stop myself from getting involved in her life now.' Nathan thought to himself.
He raised his hand, reaching out to her face. He fixed the loose strands of her hair, tucking them behind her ear. 'As Ethan's mother, I have to do something for you. I'll make sure to punish those people who have hurt you.' Nathan planned to avenge Jane. That was the least he could do for her.
Nathan pulled her closer to his body. He made up his mind. He would no longer push her away. He would try to get to know her better starting tonight.
Meanwhile, back at the nightclub, another figure arrived. Just like Nathan, he was blocked by two ladies, asking him to identify himself.
"Hey, I'm Aiden Wu. I got a call from someone. They told me to fetch Jane." Aiden introduced himself.
The two ladies exchanged glances with one another. "She just left. Someone already picked her up."
Aiden smiled and scratched his face. "Oh, okay. So my presence here is no longer needed."
He was about to turn around and leave but another woman grabbed his elbow to stop him from leaving.
"Hey, Wait. Don't leave! You have to care of this woman, instead!" Mystique pointed to the drunk person she was carrying on her back.
"Eh? Who is she?" Aiden asked her in confusion.
"She's Black Rose… I mean… Cherry. She's Jane's friend. You have to take care of her."
Before Aiden could react, Mystique had already handed Black Rose over to him.
"Let's go home, Ladies. The party is over!" Mystique added as they started to leave the nightclub.
Aiden stood in his spot, still trying to process what had just happened.
'Damn! What should I do to her?' He looked at the woman sleeping in his arms. He blinked several times.
'Oh, she's pretty!' That was the first thing that popped up in his mind.
"Sigh. Miss Beautiful. I have no choice. Your friends left you in my care. I have to bring you home tonight. Don't worry. I'm not going to do stupid things. I'm a gentleman." Aiden spoke up as if Black Rose was listening to him.
