Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 1474

The woman he loved was treating leftovers from a small restaurant like it was a luxurious meal... Were those things not supposed to be something one would throw away? Alex's heart ached and what hurt him most was seeing the expression on Jane when she looked at Noah. Her eyes were filled with contentment, happiness, and boundless love toward the man.

'This woman! She has only been away from me for four months! Just four months, and she has already fallen in love with somebody else?' he thought. For a moment, he wanted desperately to run up to them and cut the man in half with a sword, but he managed to hold back, as the words of Sebastian and Sabrina remained distinctively in his brain. He had to wait for the best timing. However, the best timing aside, Alex did not know if he could even get through the night. Could he still refrain himself if he was to follow them home to see Jane sleeping with that man? Tens of thousands of voices echoed inside his head, telling him that he would not be able to withstand it.

He stalked Jane and Noah quietly from behind them all the way to the place the two had rented. It was likely the most filthy and chaotic place in the entire city. It was a large hostel that accommodated many people. He spotted people that came in with one of those strollers they used in construction sites; there

were masonry, upholsterers, scavengers, and of course, women who sold their bodies for a living. There had been over a hundred people living in the enormous hostel and each room left little to no space, with the biggest room being merely thrity square meters which accommodated twenty construction workers; the smallest room was about ten square meters that provided just enough space for a queensized bed, a dresser, and a simplistic closet. It was not hard to picture what kind of people would stay there.

Sebastian once told Alex, "Sabrina used to live in the slum. It was a pretty rough neighborhood where there were all sorts of people. She has been through it all, and I won't allow her to suffer one single bit from now on."

Alex had never seen the slum Sebastian talked about, but he managed to witness that one that Jane lived in and he was shaken. Luckily, the room that Noah and Jane rented was a slightly bigger one with two separated areas. Both areas added up to a total of thirty square meters at first sight, the area that was further in was slightly smaller and was taken by Jane herself. There was another bed in the outer area that belonged to Noah's mother. Apart from the beds, there were only a few bags made from snake skin, a small stove that was built with simple woodwork and a cooker for meals. When Noah and Jane arrived home, the old lady was heating up their dinner.

When she saw her son coming in with Jane, the old lady immediately said cheerfully, "You are back! I

made dinner. I've put quite a lot of butter into the mashed potato I made this morning and it tastes great. I couldn't bring myself to eat it. An old hag like me can’t eat much anyways, so I saved them for you." She then opened the lid of the cooker to reveal the contents to the two of them.

Jane's eyes widened in awe. "Mom, what is this? Are these veggie tacos?"

The old lady explained with a smile, "The two of you went out to look for work, and I had nothing to do at home, so I went walking around the local market nearby. There was this kind farmer that sells vegetables and gave me all the leaves because no one would buy them, but they are edible. I came home and mixed up some flour to make half a dozen veggie tacos. I tried one just one, and the seasoning is spot-o n. Go wash your hands and prepare for dinner."

Jane sat the old lady down on the chair, smiling." Mom, let's just put the veggie tacos in the hostel owner's refrigerator for now. We are in for a feast today."

"Don't spend your money on unnecessary things. We need to save it for when you give birth," the old lady reminded her.

Jane showed her the bag of leftovers in her hand and said, "We didn't spend any money, Mom. Look, these are all given to me by the owner of the restaurant. There are a few prawns, half a chicken thigh, meat, and everything. Let's heat this up and have a feast

tonight to celebrate finding our jobs."
