Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 1473

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 restaurant, but at the same time, he was also worried that Jane would find out about him. Just like what Sabrina had said, if Jane found out about him out of the blue and run off to commit suicide, would that not mean that he would have to bid farewell to his wife after only seeing her once? No! Alex could not accept such an ending. He had no idea when, but

before he realized it, he had already acknowledged Jane as his wife. It had been a thought that he had never had throughout the years he spent with Jane. Humans truly were strange beings. Why was it that they never learned to treasure what they had until after they had lost it? Luckily, he found her again. The only thing that was missing was to find an opportunity to appear before her without scaring her off. For the entire afternoon, Alex kept his eyes on the restaurant while thinking about how he could find said opportunity.

It was not until the sky was completely dark at eight o'clock that he saw Jane coming out with her own hand supporting her back, dragging her exhausted body out of the restaurant.

The owner even gave her a bag of food, saying," Pregnant lady, this might be leftovers, but all you need to do is to heat it up at home until it's boiling. Boil it over twice and you should be able to kill all the bacteria. That way, you and your man can save the money on food."

"Mm-hm, I know! Thank you, ma'am, you are so nice to me." Jane nodded repeatedly with the bag of food.

The owner sighed. "How pitiful. You seem so delicate. Just look at those hands of yours; they aren't meant for hard work. You don't look like ordinary folks with that pale skin. Even if you haven’t said a thing about i t, I already know that you probably used to be a lover t o some wealthy big boss and now he has abandoned you. Is it because he grew tired of watching you get old? Sigh... Just look at you... Why do something that you would end up regretting? Women can't just focus o n enjoying the moment. Here you are, dressing up like a beggar with a child in your belly... Sigh! Go back to sleep until late morning and come back tomorrow in the afternoon."

The owner was clearly someone who had a kind heart hidden behind her unforgiving words. Though she kept mentioning how much of a burden she thought Jane was, she still cared for Jane.

"Mm-hm, I get it, ma'am. I will be sure to work hard." Jane felt relieved at the owner's concern and turned t o leave with the food. She dragged her exhausted body back to the bridge and Noah had already been waiting there.

Noah had gotten lucky and managed to find a job of helping move big furniture for a moving company in the city, such as refrigerators and closets. He went back and forth over a dozen times and earned more than two-hundred at the end of the day. He was exhausted and had been sitting underneath the bridge to wait for Jane for over an hour. When he saw Jane stumbling toward him, he ran up to her excitedly and cupped her cheeks. "Wh--What have you been doing?? I was worried sick! You can't follow me out tomorrow. Let me tell you something, I earned two hundred today! That's enough money to support our expenses for the next week! Be good and stay home tomorrow. I will keep taking jobs like this from now on. The working hours are short but the pay is good."

Jane pulled up the corner of her cloth to wipe the sweat off Noah's face. "I found a job too. Half-day shift and it pays six-hundred a month. You don't have to work so hard anymore." Once she was done wiping his sweat off, she went on in an extremely excited tone. "The owner gave me these. There are a few prawns, half a chicken thigh, and a few pieces of chicken, too!"

Noah rubbed his hands together happily. "Come, let's g o home for a big meal!"

Alex, who was observing them from afar, did not know what to say.
