No Way Back (Jane and Hugh) by Anna Mac novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186
Jane’s heart skipped a beat. [Yale, do you also feel that Marcus is very familiar?]
I just had a special feeling when I saw him on the live broadcast but I’m not sure…
[There are very few people who can make me feel this way. The teacher is one, and so do you. Now, Marcus also gave me such a feeling. I want to know his true identity]
Yale voiced his feelings.
It’s fine, Yale. Marcus told me his cell phone number during the award ceremony. Coincidentally, I also have something to ask him.
[‘ll look for Marcus and investigate his true identity. Yale, just wait for my reply]
[Okay Jane, be careful and protect yourself.]
After they went to a new hotel, Andy used some tricks to let Jane register without using her identity card.
Jane accompanied Andy to tour Meridonia for the entire night and went to play everywhere.
The next day, Jane got up and washed up.
Jane took out her phone and called Marcus.
Marcus’s ringtone was a cheerful Christmas tune.
[Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way…]
Jane glanced out the window again as she waited for Marcus to pick up.
It looked like it was going to snow
Speaking of which, Christmas was coming
In Previous Christmases, Jane had been spent at Fowler family.
At that time, although the Fowler family hated Jane, they still magnanimously allowed Jane to attend the Christmas family gathering because of their blood ties.
The gifts prepared for Jane were all that Madelyn didn’t want after picking
Even so, Jane, who had not given up all hope for the Fowler family at that time, was still grateful to them. Jane kept the gifts like treasures and did not dare to open them.
Jane was thinking too far ahead again.
Who and where was Jane going to spend Christmas with this time?
Just as Jane was deep in thought, the call was answered,
“Is that Jane?”
Marcus had already guessed the identity of the person on the other end of the line. “How did you know it was me? Is it just because it was an unknown phone call?” “Because only the people I set up can get through this private number.” Realizing that Marcus attached so much importance to her, Jane was a little flattered. At the same time, Jane became more and more concerned about Marcus’s true identity. “Marcus, you left this number because you want to be friends with me, right?
“I called as you wished. Let’s meet and talk, okay?”
“Of course. Give me your location and I’ll get the driver to pick you up.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up, Jane went to the next room and told Andy about this.
*Janie, are you sure you want to go over? Although I don’t think that Marcus is a bad person, he’s too mysterious.
“Don’t forget your real sock puppet. You’re the Queen of the Darknet. If you go to an unfamiliar territory alone and something happens, it would be very dangerous.”
Andy was rather calm and rational. He could see the seriousness of the problem.
“So, I will leave my safety problem to you*
Jane shrugged and gave Andy a trusting look.
“Andy with you around, what am I afraid of? What a joke.”
“You… It’s my fault for spoiling you too much. So, you have become so fearless now. You have not cared about your safety problem as much as before.
“Janie, cherish your life more. Your beautiful years have yet to begin.”
Andy reached out and poked Jane’s head helplessly
“Don’t worry, Andy. I cherish my life more than anyone else. Only by living can I see you guys every day and live happily and freely.
“I believe that Marcus isn’t a bad person. He’s just like Yale and gives me a very special feeling….
“Of course, just in case, I’ve already thought of a backup plan. With you protecting me, I’m full of confidence.”
“Since you’ve said so, I can only agree.” Andy sighed helplessly but he was very happy that Jane trusted him so much. Jane sent the location to Marcus.
An hour later, an extended Rolls-Royce appeared at the entrance of the hotel.
Jane got in the car and waved at Andy.
Andy replied to Jane with an OK gesture.
The driver was an old man in his sixties. He wore glasses and exuded a gentlemanly aura.
Judging from his skin color and appearance, he was from Crucsia.
“Miss Jane Fowler, I’m the butler of Marcus. Just call me Jay Jay spoke respectfully
Jane nodded.
The journey was silent.
The car ***to a manor, and the surrounding atmosphere looked quite cold.
Perhaps it was because of the winter.
Winter in Meridonia was very cold.
All the leaves fell, and the trees looked bare.
The last night’s snow pressed down the leaves, and the fountain froze into ice.
Jane walked into the villa in the manor under Jay’s lead.
It was like a Wetanean-style villa from the last century. Just the decoration gave off a strong sense of history.
After taking off her windbreaker, Jane unzipped her down jacket.
Jane took off her gloves and placed them in her pocket before walking in with her hands in her pockets.
Jane felt much warmer in the villa.
They walked through the front hall, and Jane looked around.
The decoration inside the villa was the same as Marcus’s aura and the atmosphere revealed by the entire manor. There were too few things in the villa.
Except for the necessities of life, there was nothing else.
Jay seemed to have seen through Jane’s doubts and took the initiative to explain, “Mr. Marcus is often on a business trip around the world because of work. He doesn’t spend much time in the manor. At the same time, he doesn’t like to buy useless things.”
Jane couldn’t help but smile. “This habit of his is similar to that of someone I know”
“Miss Jane Fowler, please wait here for a moment. I’ll inform Mr. Marcus. He should be resting at this time.”
“Okay.”
After Jay left, Jane looked around the living room.
Jane’s gaze suddenly stopped on a painting.
There was a layer of blue sky and *** in the painting, and the bright red national flag fluttered in the wind, which was fiery red, scorching hot, and had a kind of endless vitality.
Jane could feel how much soul, attention, and energy Marcus had invested in painting this picture.
Like Jane, Marcus was also a patriot.
“You like this painting? Marcus’s voice with gentleness came through.
Jane turned around and saw Marcus walking over wrapped in a blanket and he was holding a cup of steaming coffee in his hand.
Marcus took the initiative to explain, “I don’t like winter, especially the winter in Meridonia. It’s too cold. And I am a little afraid of the cold.”
Jane smiled. “I can tell
They sat down on the sofa.
Jay also made a cup of coffee for Jane and brought it to her.
And Jay also prepared some snacks for them.
“Jay used to be a top barista at a public coffee company. After he retired, I hired him as my butler.
“Jay’s coffee is the best coffee in the world. No one can compare to him. Try it.”
Jay lowered his head respectfully after being praised by Marcus. “Mr. Marcus, you flatter me.”
Jane picked up the coffee and took a whiff. The rich smell of the coffee filled the air and was extremely refreshing.
Jane took a sip and instantly felt the bitterness of the coffee melt her taste buds, producing a wonderful chemical
reaction.
It was better than the coffee at Revolve Cafe in Stormton City
Jay must be a top barista.
“It does taste good, thank you.”
After putting down the cup, Jane looked at Marcus, intending to get straight to the point.
“Marcus, may I ask what your real name is?”
