Chapter 881
She never badgered him into saying anything like he loved her, she even refused when he offered to give her some money to keep as savings. She would say to him, "Alex, I still have all my limbs, I can earn my own living. I am a good cook, I can also massage, these are my skills. I don't need any money from you."Seeing that she truly didn't want it, he decided not to push the matter, partly because of his own selfish consideration as well. She had been by his side for so long, but he couldn't define his feelings towards her. Was it love? No! Alex lost the ability to love another a long time ago, perhaps they had simply merged with one another. He was scared that if he gave her money, she would run off with some other man and give birth to his children for a more peaceful life. If that happened, Alex couldn't guarantee that he would beat that man up, which was why he gave up when Jane refused the money. He could easily support her for the rest of her life. She could be a little woman th

Alex's expression became increasingly bitter at the sight of Jane crying her heart out in her sleep. It had been so many years and he had never bothered to consider what she truly felt, simply because she had been far too understanding, to the point that he didn't have to worry about her at all. Alex was never good at fawning over someone, especially when he was dealing with women. He wasn't sure whether he was supposed to comfort her, or wake her up. Just as he struggled to make a decision, Jane woke up in tears.When she saw the tears on his shoulder, she realized that she really was crying. She could still remember distinctly what she had seen in her dream. In her dream, there was a little girl who had just learnt how to walk. Her chubby little arms and legs wiggled as she stumbled forward, but she was walking so fast that she was almost running. No matter how hard Jane called out to the little girl, she did not look back and kept marching forward until she fell down a cliff abruptl

"Do you want a child?" Alex asked in a hoarse voice.Jane shook her head with determination. "No, Alex! I don't want children!""Really?"She smiled and leaned against his chest. "I'm a woman, Alex. I'm a living being who just got an abortion, it's not possible for me to not be upset. But I'm an adult, I know what I'm doing. I would have to plan ahead for the child if I give birth to her, so I don't want kids. I never thought I would be able to stay by your side for six years. That's six years worth of happiness. I'm not greedy, Alex." She closed her eyes and murmured, "As long as I get to stay by your side, to serve you and watch you, I think that is already the best gift God could give me. Everyday feels like a paradise to me. I've gotten more than my worth, Alex, do you understand?"Relieved, Alex tightened his arms around her and pulled her closer. He lowered his head and planted a few gentle kisses on the top of her head. "You are the most understanding woman I've ever met," he sa
Chapter 884
Was she dreaming again? Ever since she had gotten rid of her child weeks ago, she had been haunted by dreams filled with children. The voice that was knocking on her door and shouting for her to open it sounded innocent and young like a small child. Whose child was it?Jane sat up abruptly and grabbed a robe from her closet hurriedly before running over to open the door. She wanted to know who the child was. For a moment, she was even wondering if she was still dreaming.Upon opening the door, she saw a small figure dressed in a fiery red dress, who was looking up at her with a grin. "You look so pretty, auntie, just like my Mommy. My Mommy is probably slightly prettier, by a little bit, a little bit only."The small child batted her eyelashes cheerfully at Jane. Hidden within her eyes was the appreciation of the adult woman before her eyes, but not outshining the child's unconcealable protectiveness towards her own mother, which triggered overwhelming emotions in Jane's heart once aga
Chapter 885
How could such a small child be so witty? She was reminded of what Alex had always told her. He often said, "Sebastian has now become such a slave to his daughter! The man he used to be never blinked twice at killing others, he never smiled or even felt the slightest affection towards another! Now, look at him! He rushes home everyday after work to play with that little kid."Jane could understand. Who wouldn't melt when they have such a sweet child at home?"Let's go, auntie. My Mommy is waiting downstairs."Jane went to wash up and put on some make-up, and then went down to the living room holding Aino's hand. Aino had only heard that her mother was going to invite another auntie to shop with them. She loved nothing more than to make new friends. She had plenty of friends in her kindergarten, and a friend of her mother was a friend of hers. Just like that, the little child in a red dress led Jane downstairs.Jane used to dress in a more mature and elegant style whenever she was with
Chapter 886
To be honest, the woman in front of him was very different from how she used to be. Before this, her style of dressing used to be mature yet slightly sexy, Alex’s favorite. But today, she was dressed in lively, bright colors, which was eye-catching, and yet not losing her hint of maturity and sexiness. There was an extra layer of energy and vitality. She kept herself in good shape. Dressed like this, she didn’t look like a woman who was already in her thirties. Instead, she looked like a pretty and delicate young lady.Alex felt a hug at his heartstrings. With a smile on his face, he said warmly, “You look beautiful in anything.”Jane smiled. “Alex, Sabrina, and I are going shopping now.”Alex only nodded. She rarely left the house. Back home in Kidon City, countless rich ladies wanted to go shopping and have afternoon tea with her, but she always refused, hardly venturing outside. She was only willing to go when he had a function to attend and would bring her along. Hence, Alex was s

“Oh…” Jane looked at Sabrina. “Sabrina, is it okay if I meet your friends?”“Why not? One of them is the fiancé of one of the Poole brothers, you might meet each other often in the future. Her name is Ruth Mann. The other is my colleague, Yvonne. I’m sure you’ll like her when you meet her.”Sabrina was right. The moment Jane met Yvonne, who was like a lively human firecracker, she liked her immediately. Ruth, who was standing beside Yvonne, seemed more shy and reserved.Jane asked Sabrina softly, “Didn’t you say she’s quite fierce too?”“Oh, her!” Sabrina rolled her eyes at Ruth. “She’s an introvert! She’ll only show you how fierce she is after she grows close to you. She seems silly and naïve to those who don’t know her.”Jane laughed.“Uhm…” Ruth started awkwardly. “When I came here Ryan told me you’re his…Aunt, he asked me to call you Aunt too. Hello, Aunt Jane.”“You’re Ruth, right?” Jane asked.“Aunt Jane.”“How come you’re so obedient?” Jane couldn’t help but worry for her. Jane
Chapter 888
The woman was Autumn Poole. There was a reason why Autumn married into the Smith family and moved from Kidon City to South City. The Poole family was one of the wealthiest families in Kidon City. Of course Autumn wouldn’t fall for someone like Zach Smith, but when she was in her twenties, she had fallen in love with a foreigner. But she never expected he would turn out to be a spy. He had approached her because he wanted to gain some information about the Poole family. In the end, his cover was busted, but by that time, Autumn was already five or six months pregnant. Luckily, her family was wealthy and influential so they managed to successfully hide this piece of bad publicity from the public and had secretly gotten rid of the baby.It was an African child, with skin dark as coal from head to toe. The shape of its body had already been formed, and yet it had no right to be born into the world. Even though Axel Poole buried this incident, the upper-echelons of their circle still found
