Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 1486

Sebastian paused out of shock on the other end of the line and asked, "Alex, what did you just say?"

Over on the other side, Alex had already hung up. Never had he imagined that Jane would approach him while he was talking to Sebastian. Jane knocked o n the window and Andrew opened it. Without any warning, Jane had spotted Alex from outside the car.

Jane seemed composed at the sight of Alex. "How many days have you been here?" she asked.

Alex, on the other hand, felt as though he had been caught doing something wrong. "J-Jane..."

Jane smiled miserably. "Mr. Poole, will you just give m e a quick death?"

It had been four months since they had seen one another and the re-encounter felt like it had been centuries. Alex felt dazed like he was in some sort of fantasy; while Jane's tone sounded as distant as though they had never met before, with no trace of the time they spent living together in the past eight years. Not to mention that she had borne his children before and was still pregnant with his child at the moment. Her tone reflected the composure of someone that had thought everything through, which made it seem as though there was nothing between the two of them --not love, nor resentment -- even when she was speaking of her own death.

Alex felt his heart aching as though something was stuck in it. He stared at Jane dazedly and struggled for a while before finally muttering, "Jane, y--you... You have gotten thinner."

Jane snorted. "You, on the other hand, haven't changed one bit, Mr. Poole. Still the same pretentious man as you were before. You could still be smiling at me even if you plan on killing me the next second."

When Alex did not respond, Jane cocked her head to the side with a mischievous grin and said, "How about that, Mr. Poole? My understanding about you has been rather accurate from all the years I've been with you, hasn't it?"

"... Why would you think that I'm here to kill you?" Alex asked.

Jane laughed in disbelief. "Mr. Poole, it--it's not even funny anymore for you to ask a question like that. I already know all about how much you want me dead from the third day after you chased me out. I almost died on top of a mountain; I came close to being raped by half a dozen vicious men before death, and now you are asking me why I think that you are here to kill me? Alex Poole, am I that stupid in your eyes?"

A deep frown appeared on Alex's face. "What did you say? L--Lily did that to you?"

Jane was so furious that she started laughing hysterically. She stared at Alex and laughed until she was rocking back and forth, unable to say a word.

After a while, she sighed a long breath and said decisively, "Come on! Kill me!"

She then closed her eyes and calmly waited for her death.

Though the sun shone bright and there was not a single cloud in the sky that day, the way she stood before the car door had sent chills down his bones. Alex slowly got out of the car. In the cold wind, he stood in a navy blue trench coat with the collar flipped up. He was wearing a pair of shining military boots and with his height of over 1.8 meters, he oozed a n air of incompatible authority; the woman across him was pale with her hair hanging loosely. She was wearing a cotton top that had been out of fashion for decades. The cotton top was slightly too big and wide o n the shoulder, but still she could not button it up around her belly. Her belly was slightly swollen and exposed on the outside and at the bottom, and she was wearing the type of cotton pants that only old women would wear these days. She was no longer wearing the black workers’ boots from a few days ago, but a pair of old hand-made cotton shoes. However, her outfit did not conceal Jane's true beauty in the slightest.
