Chapter 1277
She would tremble in fear even if it was just a live prawn in front of her. However, she knew that he loved sautéed shrimp with broccoli and knew how picky he was. Worried that restaurants out there might not pick the intestines out of the shrimps before cooking with it or that they might use frozen ones, she went to the marketplace herself to pick out the meatiest shrimps there were. She bought them alive and cleaned the intestines out of them one after another while suppressing the boundless fear she felt the entire time. She had done plenty of selfless acts like that for him in the past, so how could she not love him?The others won't ever hear it, but Alex heard Jane saying "I love you, Alex" so many times that in the end, he felt that it was just normal to hear it.The reason why he didn't think of it as something important was because she would always insist, "don't feel burdened, Alex, it's okay if you don't love me. I am and always will be a maid you keep around the house."

"Not a monster! I'm human!" The dark figure shouted. When Sabrina went for a closer inspection, she realized that it was a person dressed in black, black shirt and trousers, curled up against the door. With his position, there was no telling if he was human or a monster at first sight.The person looked up with an extremely exhausted expression. "I missed it again, Sabrina.""Alex?"He chuckled pathetically. "You didn't think that I would show up at your door in the morning two times in a row, did you?"Sabrina was dumbfounded."Jane has learnt how to be sly. The location she called you last time with that number led me to a graveyard. I have searched inside every bush and behind every tree on that mountain, but apart from graves and weed, there weren't even wild animals, not to mention people."Sabrina was relieved. She had been worried that things might worsen if Alex managed to find Jane, so the fact that he didn't work out for the best. She went and called Sebastian down to h

However, pregnant women could get tired very easily with the tendency to feel sore on the back or feet, what would she do then?"Uncle Alex, you dirt ball! You dirtied our sofa! Hmph!" Aino said. She had been angry at Alex a lot lately so anything he did triggered her anger. Had it been any other person who was sick that had ruined their sofa, Aino would not have blamed them. In fact, she would have sympathized and gotten them a glass of water. But not if that person was Alex.Ever since he had chased Jane away, Aino had resented him. "Hurry up and get out of my house! If you don't, I'm going to beat you up!" Aino gritted out with her hands resting on her hips. The little girl had just woken up in her onesie pajamas and her hair was tied into a messy bun. The particular sweet scent that only children had came oozing from her. Her voice was sweet, but her words were fierce.When Alex looked at her, he was instantly drawn into an imagination in his mind. If Jane, too, was having a bab

"I don't know!" Sabrina said impatiently. She was still irritated about the phone call Lori was on earlier."Thank you, Sabrina! Yvonne finally made up with me!" Marcus grinned innocently.Relieved, Sabrina smiled. "Congratulations, Cousin Marcus, be good to Yvonne. She is a good girl with no dramas or schemes, just a very bright and cheerful girl.""I know, Sabbie. I know," Marcus reassured, still extremely excited.Sabrina had wanted to ask him if he was going to have lunch with Lori, but when she thought about it, she realized she had no right to ask him about it. She changed the subject. "It seems like Ruth and I won't be able to have lunch with Yvonne today. I'm guessing that the two of you are having lunch together, right?""Of course!""Let's go, then, we should get to work."For the rest of the morning, Sabrina was so caught up with work that she barely even had the time to take a sip of water. It wasn't until noon that Ruth said to her, "Stop drawing, Sabrina. You are

Three women were all it took to have fun. They ordered tuna sushi, mango cheese sushi, and shrimp sushi with three little bottles of mild sake. That afternoon, the three chatted while sipping on their sake and that had been fun enough."Now all that's missing is Jane," Yvonne said."I'm not sure if Ryan's uncle will ever find Aunt Jane again. I miss her, too. If Aunt Jane can't marry into the Poole family and I have to do it alone, a little firecracker like me will still be scared.""He didn't find anything this time. I feel like Jane might not want to come back. Otherwise, she wouldn't have hidden from Alex over and over again," Sabrina commented, sounding as though she was relieved.Both Yvonne and Ruth looked at her and Yvonne asked, "Sabrina, didn't you say that Jane is pregnant? What is she going to do if she doesn't come back?""There are plenty of great men out there, so she doesn't have to settle with Alex." Sabrina grinned. She paused for a moment before continuing, "Jane

Sabrina froze. "Which woman?"Marcus immediately explained. "Sabbie, this is my fault. That… That cousin of mine, Lori… She works for a finance firm. She somehow managed to convince my dad, your uncle.""..."She was instantly displeased as soon as she heard Lori's name."I don't know what she told my dad, but my dad gave her my business card. She then took my business card with her and went to the Ford Group, saying something about discussing investments.""..." Sabrina stormed out at the speed of lightning at his words."Sabrina, Sabrina!" Yvonne called out after her.Sabrina had already arrived by the entrance. She looked back and said to Yvonne and Ruth, "Help me inform the office that I need half a day off!"After that, she disappeared. She caught a taxi and went straight to the Ford Group. Sabrina had always wanted to go to Sebastian's company. However, though she was the real Mrs. Ford that Sebastian had already made a public announcement about, she knew nothing about th

The receptionist nodded. "Okay!"Just as the two were gossiping, Sabrina had pushed on further. Her heels hit against the floor in a steady, slow and rhythmic pace that sounded like the steps of a woman who worked in high management with considerable power within the Ford Group.Footsteps that sounded like that had Lori, who was sitting in Sebastian's office at the time, feel even smugger than ever. She could tell that a female employee was walking toward Sebastian’s office and, judging from the sound of it, the female employee must have a high position. Announcing her presence to a female employee at the appropriate time was exactly what Lori had planned for."Director Ford, you have studied my proposal for over an hour now. Shouldn't you give me a precise answer by now?" Lori sat across Sebastian with her torso leaning forward, and the deep V-neck of her top became even more revealing.She did not look like this when she first came in. She came in with a seersucker scarf wrapped

"Who-who are you?? Director Ford, Director Ford, what's going on??! Ah…!" Lori was in excruciating pain from her hair being pulled at and she did not have the time to even find out who was doing it. She could only pretend to be calm and resist. "Who are you? How could you be so reckless? You… Director Ford…"Sabrina clenched her grip on Lori's hair and, because her heels were too tall for her to walk easily, she went ahead and kicked them off outside the door of Sebastian’s office. Even so, the bare-footed Sabrina was still slightly taller than Lori. Therefore, when she held onto Lori's hair and dragged her out, Lori could not resist but to simply think of a way to beg for Sabrina's mercy while she was in pain. Just like that, Sabrina continued to drag her out."Woman, I don't usually come to my husband's office because I didn't have a reason to! And today, you gave me the perfect chance to make a scene. I'm going to drag you all the way out to the gate from my husband's office! I wa
