Alex was visibly relieved. "Of course not, Jane."
Just like a twenty-year-old young man who had just gotten his first crush, he was so happy that he showed her a big grin, showing his yellow teeth. He had not brushed his teeth for days. He looked a bit gross and smelled.
"Jane, come home with me. Look at you, you are five-months pregnant now and your belly is only going to grow bigger. Come home with me and be my queen. I will take care of you from now on." Alex looked at Jane in an expression as though he was trying to impress her. He did not even bother to ask whether Huron and Lenny had done anything to her. It did not matter. Even if Jane had been tainted by those men, it did not matter. He did not ask because he did not want her to get hurt again. He simply wrapped his arms around Jane and studied her swollen belly. He felt extremely happy. He was going to have a child. From then on, he was going to become a father, just like Sebastian. Would his child be a little girl as witty and willful like Aino, who would dare to hit even her own father?
Completely immersed in his fantasy, Alex muttered," Jane, let's go home..."
However, Jane pushed him away with determination.
"Jane..."
She simply stared at him blankly. "What about...my mom?"
Alex immediately smiled and said, "Jane, I've already sent someone to pick Noah's mother up. She will be here soon. I promise I will admit her to the finest retirement house in the future. We will take care of her for the rest of her life."
"Oh..." Jane murmured carelessly. After a brief moment of silence, she asked another question in a robotic tone, "You are really not here to kill me or toy with me, just like Sabrina said?"
"Jane, I'm human. You have been with me for seven years. Have you ever seen me hurt ordinary people? I will never treat people who have nothing to do with m e cruelly, not to mention you, who has stayed by my side for almost eight years."
