Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 1155

She lay on the man's back and said weakly. "I...I don’t have a home, not since I was a child. I committed many sins in the past. Sir, you saved me. If you don't mind, I’ll stay in your house and help you care for your mother. Once my body recovers, I'll leave the mountain and find a job to repay your kindness.”

The man smiled kindly. "Sure."

Just like that, Jane was saved by a middle-aged man living in the mountains. Sometimes, she felt like fate was cruel to her, and yet she was a survivor. She almost died several times, but every single time, she was rescued. In the future, she would not rely on anyone, she would work with her own two hands. She did not wish to be rich and powerful, she would be happy as long as she could fill her stomach.

That night, Jane sat in a stone hut under the watchful eye of an old lady and drank a bowl of hot soup cooked with wild vegetables picked from the mountain. Then, she ate some wild chicken and fell asleep, extremely satisfied.

That night, Lily returned to Alex's summer house. It was 10 pm. Alex sat in his living room, waiting for Lily to return home. He had to get this issue settled fast. Otherwise, his heart burned with pain and discomfort every single day. Around 11 pm., Lily came home drunk. She came before Alex and grabbed at his

Alex’s expression remained cold. "I can give you as much money as you want. I assure you, you’ll live comfortably for the rest of your life. If you want to travel the world, you can still do so."

"I’ve had my fun, I’m tired now, I want to marry you!" Lily said domineeringly.

Alex looked at her silently.

"You said it yourself, I'm your swan! You'll protect me forever!"

Alex sighed. "But Lily, even if there’s love, there are moments when it just becomes too much. You traveled the world, not even coming home for years. When you did whatever you liked, you always knew I would be protecting you from the shadows. Have you ever thought about me? How would I feel all alone?" Alex finally said this sentence out loud.

"I am a man! I have to bear the glory of the entire Poole family, I have to stand guard over Kidon City, that's why I can’t just travel the world like you! I can’t just be as free and unrestrained as you! Love goes both ways! I gave you all the love I could give, but what about you? What did you give me? Tell me, what did you give me? Endless waiting, and endless amounts of hurt. The old saying was right, you had your fun outside, you're tired now, so you want an honest man to live a quiet life together. Have you considered how unlucky
