Ruth smiled even broader. “Hahaha, actually…I have been a very annoying woman in the past. It was…Sabrina who taught me how to conduct myself. Sabrina even saved my life. It’s fine, Jane. You, me, Sabrina, as well as Yvonne. Hmmm, and also that little child, Aino, we are all friends. You are not alone.”Jane felt gratified and nodded. “That’s right. I still have all of you as my friends. I’m very glad to have known all of you. It’s just such a pity that all of you are in South City, but only I am in Kidon City…”Those were just some sentimental words. She had never thought of requesting for Alex to go to South City. After all, the main focus of Alex’s career was still in Kidon City. Alex’s parents and his brother were also in Kidon City. Most importantly, Missus Hill was still being treated in the military hospital in Kidon City, so Jane was just saying in passing. However, Jane never would have expected that Alex would take what she said casually to his heart.That night, Alex wash
Alex looked at Jane with anticipation written all over his face. He was not seeking sensual comfort or pleasure. He just wanted both their hearts to merge through skin-to-skin contact with each other. The best effect was for them to be able to return to how they were back then. She had loved him in the past, and because she loved him, she was happy. However, her heart was numb at that moment. Jane hung her head and did not speak for a long time.After a long while, she said in a low voice, “I’m sorry, Alex. I…I’m sorry. I…really wanted to try, and I wanted very much to try to please you, but I…I can no longer return to how it was before anymore.”As she said that, she began to cry.“I can’t forget all the little moments I had spent together with Noah. I can’t forget that moment I was kicked out by you. I now know that it was also just a tiny slip up for you back then that had led to such severe consequences. You’ve kicked me out back then because you had not realized that you were a
It was South City, on the other hand, that made Jane feel at home.Jane thought of Aino, who ran in circles with her short legs, gifted her a monstrous doll, and wished for Jane to quickly give birth to a little baby. She thought of Sabrina who had not had much interaction with Jane but had always been thinking of helping her at every turn. Also, she thought of the way Ruth acted yesterday. That firecracker-like shrewish manner that had a tinge of innocent personality was very comical, and that comedic young lady was sitting next to Jane at that moment. Jane had a rare joyful smile on her face.Seeing Jane so happy, Ryan could not help but ask, “Aunt Jane, you’re already about six months pregnant. Have you checked if it was a boy or a girl?”Jane shook her head. “I haven’t checked.”“Do you want a boy or a girl?” Ryan asked again. He was trying to make conversation.Jane replied without any hesitation, “A boy.”Ryan thought what Jane meant was that it would be much easier for the
Jane looked at Sabrina gently. “What’s the matter? Why are you saying sorry to me?”Sabrina’s expression was still very apologetic. “Back then when something happened to you, I happened to be in deep water as well. I originally planned to personally make a trip to visit you in those few days, but I happened to have found my mother, so I didn’t manage to ask about you. Jane, I’m sorry to have let you suffer so many difficulties for five months. I…I had already heard about it. Jane…look on the bright side. We will be good to the old lady in the future as well.”Sabrina had never been good with words. She was not someone who would persuade others with sweet talk, but everything she said was from the bottom of her heart. It was very sincere. That warmed Jane’s heart in ways she had never felt before.Jane suddenly felt that perhaps she was simply destined to have wandered out there in the past few months. After she had returned, she had people in front of her who treated her as a friend
The little child grinned. “In the future, I will have another younger sibling. Hahaha!”Although the little girl was only six years old, she was already very sensible and understanding. She urged Alex, “Quickly drive Aunt Jane home to rest. She has my monstrous doll in her belly, so she will be tired.”Alex pinched Aino’s little nose. “You aren’t mad at me anymore?”Aino lifted her chin. “Hmph! It depends on your performance!”“Sure! See how I’ll perform!” said Alex solemnly. He then assured everyone. “Jane is the treasure to all of you, so you have to watch my performance. If I didn’t perform well, then all of you might as well punish me by cutting me into pieces!”Sebastian smiled. “Hurry home. Jane needs to rest.”Alex and Jane then said goodbye to the rest of them at the airport. Since they were in South City, it was only natural that Missus Hill was left in the hands of Sebastian for him to arrange which hospital she should be admitted to, how to treat her, and how to carry
The large bedroom that was facing the sun had always been Alex’s room. However, at that moment, the first thing in the room that came into sight was Jane’s dressing table. As she looked further in, she saw her cream-colored wardrobe. On the other side was the bed that she had been sleeping in. Even her favorite bed sheet and blanket were there. It was as if she had walked into her own room.There were also two booklets on the neatly made bed. Alex brought Jane to the bed and handed the booklets to her. “Jane, all of the real estate at that Poole residence is owned by the entire Poole family, so I can’t make the decision alone to give them all to you. However, all of the properties in South City are yours in the future. This is the house deed for this summer house of mine, and your name is already on it. This is the deed to the apartment right next to Sebastian’s in the city. You’re also the owner of it. There’s also this. This is all of my fortunes, and I’m now handing it to you. In t
Alex was delighted. Perhaps because he had been in the dominant position the night before, and he had not been able to sleep for two consecutive nights, Alex slept very soundly that night.When he woke up the next day, he realized that his woman was no longer in bed. Where did she go? It was inconvenient for her to move about. With her big pregnant belly, even getting downstairs was inconvenient for her.Alex got out of bed in one fell swoop, and then he came out after he simply grabbed a robe and wrapped himself up. When he arrived at the stairs, he heard voices from downstairs.“That’ll do, Madam Quinn. Just add a little water, so it’s not too thick and not too watery. The main thing was to get up early and prepare the ingredients,” said Jane gently.The maid, Madam Quinn, then asked, “Madam, does it mean that you always had to get up very early in the morning in the past?”Jane nodded calmly. “Mm-hmm. I used to get up at four o’clock in the morning to prepare to make porridge.
Sebastian had an arm wrapped around Sabrina, and Sabrina greeted Jane with a big smile. “Hello, Jane and Mister Poole, what a coincidence that we’re here for our checkups at the same time?”Jane also smiled broadly. “I had just finished mine. Look at Alex, he kept nagging. I have been with him for eight years, and I don’t know since when did he become such a nag. Alex, you should learn from your best friend, Mister Ford.”The pregnant woman, who was envious of Jane just now, stood in the middle and was speechless. Was she going to win the lottery today?There was a sweet and attractive pregnant couple standing opposite of her. In the end, when she turned around, only then did she realize that there was also another even sweeter and even more attractive pregnant couple standing behind her. On top of that, these two couples knew each other.The pregnant woman stared at Jane and Alex, and then she turned her head around to look at Sabrina and Sebastian. She only regained her senses af
