Hearing Alex's low and hoarse voice only deepened the blush on Jane's face. She knew distinctly that Alex was flirting with her, and though she did not feel the same, she felt nothing but a sense of security.
She had been with Alex for seven years, and she had always known that he had a good temper. If not for Alex breaking her heart overnight, Jane would have still considered him as someone with a great personality. The reason why she had completely given up on Alex was partly because of the fact that he chased her out of his house out of the blue, but there was more to it that she had never mentioned or told anyone; it was because she felt pained by the love Alex had for Lily. Seven, almost eight years of companionship, through riches and difficulties, they ate and lived together, day and night, but none of that compared to a woman from across the world. Jane was tossed out mercilessly as soon as that woman came back, and that was the main reason that Jane lost hope.
Twenty days ago, Jane heard Sabrina's explanation and learnt that Alex had indeed been searching for her and regretting his actions. She felt that, at the very least, Alex was still somewhat a man of integrity, but she simply could not rekindle the part of her that loved him. People often said that nothing could be so broken that it could not be fixed, but how? All things
aside, when a woman went for an abortion, her stomach was cut open and it would never look the same, even after the wound was sealed; not to mention how much he had hurt her. Also, there was still Noah, who would never come back to life ever again and come between the two of them now that they were reunited.
However, despite losing hope and feeling such a distance from Alex, Jane still felt safe after returning t o his arms. She was too tired. The past three months o f suffering, deadly trials, gaining something, before finally losing it again... It alll drained her heart, i
She had decided to follow Lenny for the rest of her life because she wanted to settle down peacefully. But the gods seemed to enjoy toying with her. Her mother was alive; how great a surprise that was? However, the difficulties that her mother was encountering could only be resolved by Alex.
At that moment, Jane had her arms wrapped around Alex's arms and she cooperated obediently as Alex kissed her on her chapped, pale lips, but her response remained dull. Alex did not mind it. He kissed her a while and studied her cheeks that were as red as a ripe apple. Her belly was pressed against his suit, and suddenly, he was worried that the buttons might cause her discomfort and immediately unbuttoned his suit. With that, the two became even closer than before.
He wrapped one arm around her thick waist, while the other circled back from the front and was placed on top of her belly. He rubbed her belly with his long fingers and suddenly felt something poking at him. Stunned, he asked the woman in his arms, "My son can move already?"
Jane did not respond, and simply buried her head deeply.
'I'll just let her be if she doesn't want to speak, I guess, I have plenty of time to warm her up to me. One day, I will get her heart back,' he thought as he wrapped his arms around her and their son. It felt as though he had lost and found a rare treasure. No, something even more precious than treasure. It had been four months. He had been in despair; he had given up; he had sunk into depression thinking that he would never recover his wife and child, and yet both were back in his arms now. He held onto them tightly, overwhelmed with emotions to the point that he was now crying.
