Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 881

She never badgered him into saying anything like he loved her, she even refused when he offered to give her some money to keep as savings. She would say to him, "Alex, I still have all my limbs, I can earn my own living. I am a good cook, I can also massage, these are my skills. I don't need any money from you."

Seeing that she truly didn't want it, he decided not to push the matter, partly because of his own selfish consideration as well. She had been by his side for so long, but he couldn't define his feelings towards her. Was it love? No! Alex lost the ability to love another a long time ago, perhaps they had simply merged with one another. He was scared that if he gave her money, she would run off with some other man and give birth to his children for a more peaceful life. If that happened, Alex couldn't guarantee that he would beat that man up, which was why he gave up when Jane refused the money. He could easily support her for the rest of her life. She could be a little woman that was isolated from all the nastiness of the world outside and could live like royalty. With him, she could ask for anything or call him 'hubby' all she wanted. Whatever she wanted, he would fulfill her wishes.

They spent years together, and soon the contraceptive implant in her arm stopped working. She went to get another implant twice but they were somehow ineffective. She became pregnant twice in the process

and had to terminate it on her own. Alex pampered her even more when he found out how understanding and obedient she had been.

It had been six years and about twenty days ago, Jane terminated her pregnancy for Alex for the third time. She didn't inform him until after she had gotten rid of it. He wanted to be intimate at the time. Her face was pale and her voice was weak when she said, "Alex, let's not today, please?"

"What's wrong? Are you feeling ill?"

"I...I'm sorry, I wasn't careful enough. I should have skipped rope or something so that everything would sink down. I-I got pregnant again. I just got rid of it this afternoon..." 1

Her voice choked up as she was explaining as though she was about to cry, and Alex felt his heart sank. It wasn't that he didn't love children, but he couldn't have them, not with Jane at the very least. He didn't want his children to be like Sebastian, casted away without being officially recognized by their family. Alex was determined to have children with only his wife, and whenever the idea of having children came t o mind, he would always be thinking about Lily. That woman, how could she be so heartless to not even contact him at all after so many years? 1

After a moment of hesitation, Alex cupped Jane's cheeks in his hands. "You silly woman! How foolish! Next time you get pregnant-"

Jane beamed at Alex's words and blurted out before h e could finish, "Alex...you agree for me to give birth ?" "...next time you get rid of it, I will be by your side and take care of you," he continued with a gentle smile.

All color was drained from Jane's face as she struggled to process his words, but she quickly resumed her usual smile. "I will be more careful from now on. I think I've found a better way, that is to jump up and down in full force. It should be guaranteed to b e okay!"

"Mm, good."

"Hubby, I'll go back to my room to sleep, then?"

"I'll hold you as you sleep, stay here tonight."

"Really?" she asked, overwhelmed in surprise and joy, and he nodded.

That night, the two of them cuddled up against each other and went to sleep. When it was almost midnight, Jane started crying in her sleep.

"Baby...my baby, let Mommy take a look at your face, please? Mommy didn't get to see your face..."

Alex, who was woken up by the sobbings, stared down at her wordlessly.
