Chapter 1469
Jane did not let go of the bucket, but instead pleaded, "Look, ma'am, I can pick it up. Please just give me a chance. I need the money. Eight hundred a month would mean so much to me.""..." Alex watched in pain, feeling as though there was something stuck in his throat and in his heart."Let it go, I'll take you in. Just let the bucket go first," the owner said.Jane set the bucket down and looked at the owner in joy."I can tell that life hasn't been easy on you. Our restaurant doesn't usually accept pregnant employees. After all, we can't afford the consequences if you are to bump into something and get hurt. We'd much rather have a sixty-year-old lady to wash our dishes with a higher pay instead of hiring you," the owner continued."I can take care of myself, ma'am. Even… Even if something is to happen, I… I won't come after you. Please believe me. I'm not young anymore and I went through a lot to keep this child, I will definitely take care of it--"The owner interrupted Jan

Andrew immediately took out his phone to call. Just when the call was about to be connected, Alex's phone rang. He glanced at it and realized that it was from Sabrina. He instantly picked it up and said, "Why are you calling me at this time, Sabrina? I…"He was just about to tell Sabrina that he had found Jane when Sabrina's voice came from the other end of the line. "There's something that I forgot to tell you, Alex. Just now when I was taking a nap in the afternoon, I was woken up by a bad dream, which reminded me of what I needed to tell you.""What is it? What dream?""I dreamt of Jane jumping off a cliff. Four months ago when the old Master Shaw came to force me into giving my kidney to Selene, I had the exact same dream that Jane chose to jump off a cliff after being left with no other choice.""What are you trying to say?""Alex," Sabrina continued in a depressed voice. "When Jane called me half a month ago, I could tell from her tone back then that she doesn't intend on ru

She ended up sleeping for a couple of hours, and while she slept for a rather long period of time, she kept dreaming. In her dream, she could distinctly see that Jane had been cornered by a group of people and had been forced up to the edge of a cliff. Jane turned around to look down the cliff, before smiling bitterly at the people that were after her and said, "I've been waiting for this day for so long. The weather today is so nice that it's just perfect for me to jump off this cliff! But you listen to me, Alex Poole! The one thing that I regret doing most is coming to know you and longing for the protection you have provided me. I should have known how fate works. I should have known that the protection you provided me will only end up being the one thing that hurt me most. I would rather be imprisoned for life, or to be beaten to death, than to know you. At least I wouldn't be upset over being insulted or beaten; and yet, Alex Poole, you have torn my heart into pieces! I swear! I d

Over on the other end of the line, Alex asked in a depressed voice, "Sebastian, you… Back when you were looking for Sabrina, had it been difficult for you to approach her?""Did you find Jane?" Sebastian immediately asked.Alex shook his head. "Your darling Sabrina just called and warned me not to push Jane too far if I manage to find her. Otherwise, Jane would kill herself."Sebastian sighed. "Based on Sabrina's personality, had I approached her recklessly without any leverage over her, she would end up before you as a corpse. Back then, I went straight to Ciarrai County after finding out that she was there, but I didn't meet with her right away. Instead…""Instead what?" Alex urged desperately.Sebastian chuckled awkwardly. "Alex, do you plan on getting me killed by my lifelong boss?""Spill already!""I plotted for a while before approaching her!" Sebastian blurted out."...""For a woman that fierce, if I had just gone and captured her right away, she would have killed her

Soon, Alex was the only one left sitting in the car in front of the restaurant's entrance. He stared into the restaurant intently as time went by.Not far from him in a hotel around the corner, Lily was sitting by the window and peeping out of the gap between curtains, and she felt as though her heart had been stabbed by hundreds and thousands of needles. She clenched her fists so hard that her nails were digging into the flesh as she glared furiously and gritted out uncontrollably, "Damn you, Jane! What's so good about you, huh? You are just a maid! Just a plaything! How can my fiance care for you so much, to the point that he gets so emotional?? Damn it! Curse you, Jane, just die already! No! I will never allow you to be happy! You don't deserve to be happy!"No one knew when Lily snuck into the hotel room across the street, not even Alex, because his entire focus was on Jane.That afternoon, he was miserable. He was worried that Jane would be tired from washing the dishes in that
Chapter 1474
The woman he loved was treating leftovers from a small restaurant like it was a luxurious meal… Were those things not supposed to be something one would throw away? Alex's heart ached and what hurt him most was seeing the expression on Jane when she looked at Noah. Her eyes were filled with contentment, happiness, and boundless love toward the man.‘This woman! She has only been away from me for four months! Just four months, and she has already fallen in love with somebody else?’ he thought. For a moment, he wanted desperately to run up to them and cut the man in half with a sword, but he managed to hold back, as the words of Sebastian and Sabrina remained distinctively in his brain. He had to wait for the best timing. However, the best timing aside, Alex did not know if he could even get through the night. Could he still refrain himself if he was to follow them home to see Jane sleeping with that man? Tens of thousands of voices echoed inside his head, telling him that he would not

The old lady's expression brightened at the sight of all the food in the bag. She had stayed in South City before and her son used to be the manager in a factory, but still, she had not had many chances to taste such luxurious dishes."Mom, you need to eat some once we heat these up later. The elderly need to eat more pawns to get more calcium.""Oh, oh, okay, okay! Let's set the veggie tacos aside first. We will just have them when we have nothing else to eat some other day," the old lady responded with tears of joy.The family of three heated up the dishes cheerfully while Alex observed everything with a pair of binoculars from his car that was parked outside the hostel.There were windows on both areas in the room and hence, he could easily see everything that was happening inside. His heart was overwhelmed with pain once again at the sight of how happy the three were as they were heating up the food. He had been with Jane for almost eight years and, though she had always been g
Chapter 1476
Jane's voice had been extremely small, almost like a murmur. However, Alex had had training from a young age and had an excellent hearing. As a matter of fact, that was something that he knew would happen. Those two had spent four months together, so how could they not be staying together as well? And yet, when he heard the words coming from Jane's mouth, he still could not help the overwhelming despair he felt within him. He felt a throbbing in his head as he desperately wanted to tear the room down. However, what Noah said next had snapped Alex out of his blinding anger."Silly girl! How could you be so silly? Have you forgotten what the doctor told you? It's not easy for you to carry this child to begin with, so you must be careful. One accident, and you will lose the chance of becoming a mother forever. We are bound to get married someday, so what's the rush?" Noah said gently.Jane's tone became even softer, "But I want to take care of you, Noah. It's been four months since you
