"Would you be willing to accept that?""..."Jane grinned. "There isn't such a thing as forgiving or not forgiving. Since we have broken up, all ties should be cut. If you are a demon that I can't shake, naturally, I can only go with you and let you do whatever you want to me. But now that you've mentioned that you never hurt normal people, and that you've been looking for me, then what I can say to you, Alex, is that we are done. We will never be together again. I'm tired. I'm so tired. I'm thirty-five this year, not twenty. I can't go through the storm again in my life. As long as I'm alive to give birth to my child, to take good care of my mother… That's what would make me feel most grounded. I never belonged to your world to begin with. Your family, everyone around you, and most importantly, yourself, none of you have ever thought of me as a suitable match. I see it clearly now; my life belongs in the mud. You are Master Alex of Kidon City, the one and only of the entire city. We
There was someone who would take her in? Who? Just as Alex was about to go and ask about it, his phone rang. He took it out and found that it was from Sebastian. He looked up to the stumbling pregnant woman and the elder, and thought, ‘Their pace is slow anyways. Besides, if I follow too closely, Jane will get even more upset.’Alex motioned for his subordinate to come forward and said, "Go and see which direction they are heading toward. Don't follow too closely or alert them.""Yes, Master Alex," the subordinate responded immediately.Alex finally picked up the phone after that. "What's up, Sebastian?"Sebastian's worried voice came through from the other side of the line. "Alex, Jane and you…"Hearing the voice of his blood brother, Alex suddenly sighed with boundless regret and despair."What's wrong, Alex?" Sebastian asked with concern. He then proceeded to explain apologetically, "Sabrina and Aino both wanted to eat crab ravioli from the old streets of South City; they ma
"I feel the same as she does right now, and no longer expect anything from the child in her belly. Even if she doesn't have any child in the future, we can be Aino's godparents. Right now, I'm just worried about her. Her body can't take the suffering any longer.""Who said anything about becoming your goddaughter?? I don't want you! Hmph!" Suddenly, the voice on the other side of the line had switched to Aino's willful and proud voice."Baby Aino?""Who are you calling ‘Baby’?? Hmph! I hate you!" Aino started crying as she attacked Alex, "Aunt Jane is the best auntie I've ever had! She is so great and you just tossed her out! You might have made only one mistake, but Aunt Jane didn't have any money and almost got herself beaten to death by Lily! All of these happened because of you! Aunt Jane better not come back with you, ever!! I. Hate. You! Hmph!""I'm sorry, baby."Aino softened slightly. "Let me tell you! I only want Aunt Jane as my godmother! Not you! I hate you!""..."Be
Lenny! The old man who had been to the doors of Huron's place and shouted at Alex four hours ago. That man was almost seventy and claimed that Jane was his woman, and now Jane was really going to take refuge in Lenny's place? At that moment, Alex felt as though all his internal organs had been pitifully torn to pieces. He opened the car door in a dazed state and went out."Master!" Garrett shouted behind him. Ever since Alex had started looking for Jane, he did not stop acting frantic. He became repulsive, irritable and would sometimes be seen with his eyes red. Three hours ago, Jane had told Alex that she would not go back with him decisively, and if he was to go after her right now, he was only going to make Jane resent him more. Garrett could only hope that his master would not get kicked out by Mrs. Poole. He watched Alex anxiously but to his surprise, Alex said, "I just want to hear what they will say. We are too far from them right now, so we won't hear them."With that said, A
Unfortunately, a woman that great would never go back into Alex's arms. Just as he reflected on it, the mansion's gate opened and the old man who stepped out was none other than Lenny.Seeing that Jane was supporting an elder and standing outside his door, Lenny was shocked. "You… Didn't you… Master… Master Alex…"Jane forced a smile. "Master Powell, you…" She swallowed to calm herself before continuing, "I knew from the first day you took me back, that you… You are a good person. You were kind to me, and did not torture me like Huron did. I… I might be pregnant, but I can still be your companion between the sheets. I don't need a title or your money. As long as you agree to take me and my mom in and keep us fed, I don't even need to eat that well, so long that there's food every day… Is that okay, Master Powell?" Jane looked at Lenny in anticipation.Lenny did not respond for a while. He then sighed and said, "Sigh, little pregnant lady, don't you know that I've just barely escaped
Alex could not begin to imagine that Jane would rather beg so submissively in front of a man older than her own father than go home with Alex. How humiliating it was for her to be this determined? At that moment, Alex's heart was instantly filled with frustration to the point that he came close to punching himself to death. However, he remained silent as he watched Jane begged Lenny.Lenny was, indeed, not too bad of an old man. He sighed sadly, "Little pregnant lady, it's not that I don't want you because you are pregnant. I am especially impressed with how you treat your boyfriend's mother. I respect you for that, but still, I can't take you in. You are Master Alex's woman."Jane shook her head. "Master Powell, look at me right now. Could Master Alex of Kidon City want me?? How stupid could he be to want someone that looks like me? Don't worry, Master Powell. Alex Poole… Master Alex doesn't want me. Otherwise, would I have come to you with my mother?""..." Lenny did not respond.
Alex's expression darkened. "Soon.""..." Garrett paused for a moment before gaping at Alex. "Master, are you going to..." He had thought that Alex was blinded by the humiliation and was planning to kill Jane.Alex rolled his eyes at Garrett. "What are you thinking about??""Master, what do you mean to do?"Alex did not answer his question directly, but instead said, "Go. Go back and find Lenny's number for me as soon as possible."Not daring to ask any more questions, Garrett simply responded with, "Yes!"He got up and followed Alex back to the car. After taking a few steps out, he turned around to gaze at the direction of Lenny's mansion. Jane and her old mother had already been taken into the mansion by Lenny.At the time, there was only one person sitting inside the mansion, and that was the woman who Alex set free earlier that morning.The young woman was one of Huron's five beautiful mistresses, and also the only woman who managed to survive. When she saw Jane coming in,
Getting his woman back was a decision that Alex had made from the moment he saw the weakened Jane helping the even weaker old woman up. He was certain that Jane would not go back with him ever again no matter what; he had also reflected on his own heart and realized that he would never love another woman again in his life."I've thought it through. In this life, I belong to Jane, alive or dead," Alex drawled carelessly."Um…" Garrett was shocked as he thought to himself, ‘Are these words really coming out of Master's mouth? These words usually come from women. Is the master really so desperate that he intends to do whatever it takes?’At that moment, Garrett found himself overwhelmed by the urge to laugh at his master for being like a woman, but he did not dare to, considering how sorrowful and depressed his master looked.After allowing himself a short while of depression, Alex turned cold and stern as he lowered his voice at Garrett, "Garrett, find me a hotel to stay in first. I
