Jane's voice had been extremely small, almost like a murmur. However, Alex had had training from a young age and had an excellent hearing. As a matter o f fact, that was something that he knew would happen. Those two had spent four months together, so how could they not be staying together as well? And yet, when he heard the words coming from Jane's mouth, he still could not help the overwhelming despair he felt within him. He felt a throbbing in his head as he desperately wanted to tear the room down. However, what Noah said next had snapped Alex out o f his blinding anger. 1
"Silly girl! How could you be so silly? Have you forgotten what the doctor told you? It's not easy for you to carry this child to begin with, so you must be careful. One accident, and you will lose the chance of becoming a mother forever. We are bound to get married someday, so what's the rush?" Noah said gently.
Jane's tone became even softer, "But I want to take care of you, Noah. It's been four months since you rescued me and you haven't so much as touched me. Are you... Are you not interested in me?"
"How silly!" Noah laughed. "I wouldn't have taken my mother and followed you all the way here if I was not interested in you. Of course I do, but I can't hurt you. I can wait. I'll wait until after you give birth and
recover. Once it's time, I won't let you go, even if you don't come to me! I will show you what a majestic beast I am then!"
"So talkative!"
"I enjoy being talkative with my wife!" He laughed, before continuing, "Go in and sleep. My mom and I will keep you company out here."
"Okay. Good night, Noah."
After that, Alex heard small noises of footsteps from outside the room. At that very moment, Alex felt such relief that there was a lump in his throat as he listened to the noises in the room from the outside.
'Thank God! I'm so glad! My wife is still mine, not someone else's, even if her heart no longer belongs to me. Had it been any different, I would have really killed that man in a rage.’
That night, Alex was so excited that he simply could not go to sleep, despite the fact that he had not shut his eyes for the past day and night. He went back to the hotel for a shower and felt as energetic as ever. His driver Andrew kept him company and the two chatted for a long time until Andrew ended up falling asleep during the conversation. Alex realized that Andrew, too, had not rested for the past day and night from driving the entire time. He decided to give Andrew the time to rest, but was still unable to suppress the excitement as he laid alone on the hotel bed. Who should he tell? Who should he tell?
Alex took out his phone and called Sebastian without a moment of hesitation. Though Alex, Kelvin, Martin, and Sebastian were four brothers, but in private, Alex shared the deepest bond with Sebastian.
It was twelve at midnight. Sebastian had just finished all his tasks of the day back in South City. Sabrina had not been feeling well lately; she had been drowsy almost the entire time and could barely eat. Sebastian took the time to go to a restaurant that he frequented and ordered a set of caviar sandwiches to take home. I n the end, Sabrina went back to sleep after taking only a bite or two. After putting Aino to bed, Sebastian went back to the study room to send a few important emails before stepping into the bedroom.
"What's going on? Have you been in a bad mood these days? Has something happened? Or are you encountering any difficulties at work?" he asked.
Sabrina was still depressed. "I don't know why, Sebastian, but I can't eat, I can't sleep, and I keep feeling like I want to cry." As soon as those words were out, Sabrina found shelter in Sebastian's embrace and began crying.
He pulled her close, a surprising assumption bouncing off his mind, but he could not be sure. He decided to put everything aside tomorrow and take Sabrina to the gynecology clinic for a body check first thing in the morning. Once decided, he softly comforted the woman in his arms without telling her what he was thinking, "Don't overthink it. Just go to sleep. When w e are free, I'll take you and Aino overseas for a vacation."
Sabrina nodded. "Mm-hm. Thank you, hubby."
With her eyes shining with tears, she looked at him seductively and wrapped her arms around his neck before offering her lips.
