But soon, he recovered and grinned. "Silly girl, what's there to be afraid of over being pregnant. Just give birth to it. There are three adults here, and we are surely capable of raising one child, aren't we?""I… I can't. My ex-boyfriend…""You don't want him to know."She shook her head. "I don't want his child. I have to get rid of it. I want..." She glanced over at Noah. She had made up her mind along their journey so far. Jane mustered up the courage and said, "Noah, will you marry me once we get back to your hometown?""Sis, I'm older than you. I am forty-five this year. That's ten years older than you. I'm uneducated, and even though your clothes are all ragged, I can tell that you have lived a comfortable life thus far. I can't ruin your life.""I get it, Noah. You must be disgusted by me," Jane smiled bitterly as tears scrolled down her cheeks.He smiled. "Silly girl, just look at me. I have an old woman I have to look after. Who am I to be disgusted by you? I'm just as
She came off of the bed slowly, as though she was stuck in a bad dream. Was the world really that cruel to her?Noah went toward her and asked, "What's wrong, Jane?""If we can never have children of our own, will… will you still marry me?""Aren’t you already pregnant? Why will we not have our own children?" He paused for a moment before adding, "I'm fertile. I’ve had a son before, so I'm fertile."With tears in her eyes, she looked at Noah. "But I… If I get rid of the baby inside right now, I will never be able to get pregnant again.""Then don't get rid of it!" he said without hesitation. "No matter what, this child is still yours. You can't be this cruel as its mother. I don't mind. The child wouldn't know its actual father, so it's still going to see me as its father in the end."“…” "You know what they say; kids are closer to the ones that raised them, not the ones that gave them lives. Don't worry, this child will be raised as our own." He then held Jane by the arm and h
It did not take him long before he found a car within the circumstances. Half an hour later, the private vehicle drove out of the town with Jane in it and went straight toward the mountains where Noah called home. Half an hour later, Alex's subordinates arrived at the hospital. Without Alex's order, they would not disrupt the operation of the hospital.The leading man of the crew called Alex and said, "Master Alex, we are already outside the hospital. It's completely surrounded by our men.""Okay. Search through the wards one by one. Do not cause any trouble to the patients or the doctors. I will get on a bullet train right now and will be there in a few hours." After Alex hung up, he turned to bid farewell to Sebastian and Sabrina. "I'm afraid I won't be able to go visit Auntie with you guys tomorrow."With that, he turned around and left. Not more than just an hour ago, he looked as though he had given up on life, and now it was almost like he was fully prepared to walk onto a bat
The next morning, the sun shone bright. Both Sabrina and Sebastian had a good night's sleep, mainly because they were exhausted from executing Aino's plan. So, the next time they opened their eyes, it was already nine o’clock in the morning."Jesus! We were supposed to be going to Mom's! We woke up late!" they said as the two hurried their way to wash up and get dressed before they rushed out of the bedroom. Before they reached the living room, they could already hear the sound of someone giggling."Aunt Yvonne, you look so pretty today," Aino praised Yvonne in a sweet voice.Sabrina was shocked. Was Yvonne here? She then heard Kingston's voice."The little princess is much prettier than Aunt Yvonne," he shouted."Bro! You are spoiling Aino too much!""Why don't you think for a second about who I get my salary from?" Kingston deadpanned."...""Hehehe…" Aino chuckled.Suddenly, Kingston changed the subject and asked, "Aino, why is your daddy and mommy so lazy? They still haven
She paused for a minute before saying, "Yvonne, Marcus has always been a man of virtue so far, don't…”Yvonne sighed. "Sure he is, but that grandfather of his! I just… That old geezer is all about righteousness and saying what it takes to be a bad person; but to say that he is a good person… He did far too many unforgivable things. That's not even what is most important; what's most important is that he has a sense of superiority in regards to social class. His main value is that someone he hates has to be wrong, even if that person has saved him once before! Even when that someone is just a three-year-old child who is his own flesh and blood, as long as he doesn't take a liking to that person, he will label them as someone horrible. Frankly, an old man like that is just terrifying. Isn't that exactly why you don't want to acknowledge him as family, Sabrina? What gives him the right to determine if someone is a good person, and suppress and humiliate that person over and over again wh
The woman who followed Marcus out of his car was Lily.Seeing that Aino was screaming at Lily, Marcus instantly scolded her gently, "Aino, you shouldn't be so rude, okay? This is your Uncle Alex's fiancee."All five of them, including Aino, Yvonne, Sabrina, Sebastian, and Kingston, were instantly rendered speechless.Another car stopped behind them and the two that came out were Ryan and Ruth. Ruth was different from Yvonne. She had lost her home ever since she broke ties with her parents. Although she was also Marcus's cousin and the Shaws had asked that she come to live with them countless times, she still preferred to stay with Ryan instead of going to live with the Shaw family because she felt uncomfortable around them. When she saw that Sabrina refused to acknowledge her own grandfather, Ruth felt even more reluctant to cross paths with her aunt. Therefore, whenever Ryan would stay in South City, Ruth would go to stay with him instead.At the time, both Ruth and Ryan were dumb
Ever since then, Ryan had intentionally been avoiding Lily.However, he also realized, Alex truly did not feelings for Lily anymore‘Ten years!‘Whose feelings could be stored for ten years without deterioration?‘You gotta be kidding!‘The person who had watched over Uncle Alex, keeping him company, and helping to relieve his worries was Aunt Jane, alright?’The young couple, Ryan and Ruth, had set a rule at home that they would ignore Lily from now on!However, at this moment, when they saw that Marcus had actually brought Lily here, both Ryan and Ruth’s jaws almost dropped.Both of them looked at Sabrina, Yvonne, Aino, Sebastian, and Kingston at the same time. The six of them had a mutual understanding in their hearts and altogether did not say anything.They just waited to see what Lily and Marcus were going to say. Marcus’ expression was rather natural. He looked at Sabrina. “Sabrina, there are some gifts that I bought for Aunt Gloria in the car, as well as ingredient
Lily was used to being domineering.She could never get rid of this shortcoming of hers.She had never thought of getting rid of it either.That was because the joy of being disdainful and being seen as domineering and acting however she pleased was something others could never experience. Previously when she was abroad, no matter where she was, even if she was alone, she could always be this domineering. She would often defeat those local thugs, who arrogantly assumed they were forces to be reckoned with, within seconds, so much so that they would kneel before her and call her a queen. That kind of feeling was indescribably wonderful for Lily.However, within just a few days since she had returned to the country, she was beaten up by Aino, Ruth, and Yvonne. Lily had to get back at them right at this moment for that kind of humiliation she had gotten.Lily’s slap landed directly on one of the young men’s faces. She wanted the effect of shocking the young man and making him s
