Unexpected Fiancée novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98: Candy Was Afraid Of Darkness

With a warm and inviting smile, Patrick encouraged, "Open it."

Jane eagerly opened the lunch box, and the delightful aroma of the food wafted out. It was filled with all her favorite dishes.

Jane's curiosity got the better of her, and she inquired, "Where did you get this?"

Her stomach, having been forgotten amid the rush of work, began to grumble at the smell.

Patrick, still smiling, explained, "I cooked for you. I know that once you start working, dinner tends to slip your mind."

Jane felt a rush of warmth through her, and she gratefully replied, "Thank you!"

She couldn't resist trying the food and told Patrick, "It's delicious."

Patrick watched with a pleased expression as Jane enjoyed her meal.

Suddenly, her phone rang, displaying Osborn's name on the screen. Patrick's mood darkened slightly.

Jane, however, picked up the call, asking, "Osborn, what's the matter?"

Osborn's voice exuded concern, "Hi, Jane. I saw the news about Love Jewelry today. I know it's put you in a tough spot. But don't worry. I will testify on your behalf to prove that you didn't plagiarize the designs."

Jane appreciated Osborn's support and replied with a small smile, "Thank you. I can take care of it myself. Right now, I'm more concerned about how my design was leaked."

She knew that proving Love Jewelry's plagiarism at the upcoming press conference would be a challenge. Osborn's testimony would be helpful, but they needed to address the leak.

When Patrick saw the name Osborn on Jane's phone, he couldn't hide his displeasure.

Jane ignored Patrick's reaction and continued with the call. Osborn inquired if Jane had any suspicions about who might have leaked the information.

Jane replied noncommittally, "I don't know."

After ending the call, Jane turned to Patrick, prompting him, "Patrick, who do you think leaked the information?"

Patrick responded, "I've asked Morton to investigate. We will see some results soon."

Noting how reliant on him Jane was, Patrick couldn't help but smile, as her vulnerability was a side of her he hadn't expected.

The darkness had revealed a different facet of the strong and independent Jane.

While they waited for the elevator to be repaired, Patrick held her close, savoring her delicate scent. He found himself once again contemplating the uncanny similarities between Jane and Candy.

Jane's vulnerability only deepened his desire to protect her. After the elevator was fixed, Patrick walked Jane to her apartment.

He watched her with a hint of concern, noticing her reliance on him.

Jane, on the other hand, was feeling a bit self-conscious, having been pressed so closely to Patrick. She apologized, "I'm sorry for clinging to you in there. I'm just terribly afraid of the darkness."

Patrick shared a surprising revelation, "Candy was also terrified of the darkness."

Jane was taken aback. So, Patrick thought she was Candy again? Pursing her lips, she was about to retort when she heard Patrick asking, "Jane, are you really not Candy?"
