She ended up sleeping for a couple of hours, and while she slept for a rather long period of time, she kept dreaming. In her dream, she could distinctly see that Jane had been cornered by a group of people and had been forced up to the edge of a cliff. Jane turned around to look down the cliff, before smiling bitterly at the people that were after her and said, "I've been waiting for this day for so long. The weather today is so nice that it's just perfect for me to jump off this cliff! But you listen to me, Alex Poole! The one thing that I regret doing most is coming to know you and longing for the protection you have provided me. I should have known how fate works. I should have known that the protection you provided me will only end up being the one thing that hurt me most. I would rather be imprisoned for life, or to be beaten to death, than to know you. At least I wouldn't be upset over being insulted or beaten; and yet, Alex Poole, you have torn my heart into pieces! I swear! I d

Soon, Alex was the only one left sitting in the car in front of the restaurant's entrance. He stared into the restaurant intently as time went by.Not far from him in a hotel around the corner, Lily was sitting by the window and peeping out of the gap between curtains, and she felt as though her heart had been stabbed by hundreds and thousands of needles. She clenched her fists so hard that her nails were digging into the flesh as she glared furiously and gritted out uncontrollably, "Damn you, Jane! What's so good about you, huh? You are just a maid! Just a plaything! How can my fiance care for you so much, to the point that he gets so emotional?? Damn it! Curse you, Jane, just die already! No! I will never allow you to be happy! You don't deserve to be happy!"No one knew when Lily snuck into the hotel room across the street, not even Alex, because his entire focus was on Jane.That afternoon, he was miserable. He was worried that Jane would be tired from washing the dishes in that

The old lady's expression brightened at the sight of all the food in the bag. She had stayed in South City before and her son used to be the manager in a factory, but still, she had not had many chances to taste such luxurious dishes."Mom, you need to eat some once we heat these up later. The elderly need to eat more pawns to get more calcium.""Oh, oh, okay, okay! Let's set the veggie tacos aside first. We will just have them when we have nothing else to eat some other day," the old lady responded with tears of joy.The family of three heated up the dishes cheerfully while Alex observed everything with a pair of binoculars from his car that was parked outside the hostel.There were windows on both areas in the room and hence, he could easily see everything that was happening inside. His heart was overwhelmed with pain once again at the sight of how happy the three were as they were heating up the food. He had been with Jane for almost eight years and, though she had always been g

"..." Had it been any other time, Sebastian would have welcomed her passionate invitation, but not today. If his assumption was right, he had to refrain. He pushed her away gently. "Be a good girl, Sabrina. Not today!"She immediately started crying again. "Do… Do you not love me anymore, Sebastian? Don't you want me?" She pouted with a fragile expression without a trace of the fierceness she showed a month ago when she planned to break up and divorce him."..." Sebastian did not respond. What was he supposed to say? That he thought she might be pregnant, and that was why she became so emotional? If they went for the body check and it turned out that he was wrong, would Sabrina not be even more upset? He never asked for much when it came to her getting pregnant. They had already had Aino, so he did not mind if they never had a second child. However, her emotional and physical health was the most important.He pulled her back into his arms. "No, that's not it, Sabrina. It's not…""T

It was around two in the afternoon when she received a call from Jane. Sabrina answered with surprise, "You are calling me quite frequently these days, Jane."Jane chuckled casually. "I don't have to be afraid of calling you from now on, Sabrina. I won't run from Alex anymore.""...""If there's a crisis, we simply need to resolve it. There isn't a problem so severe that we can't resolve it," Jane said smilingly.Jane's tone had sounded depressed and Sabrina got a feeling that Jane was saying goodbye. Sabrina immediately asked, "Jane, is there anything--""Nothing," Jane interrupted her and said, "I have some good news to tell you. I found a job washing dishes at a restaurant. I'm just taking some rest right now since I've finished washing the dishes. There's another good thing that I wanted to share with you.""What is it, Jane?" Sabrina asked curiously."I saw a lot of leftovers on the tables at noon, and before I even said anything, the owner had asked the waiter to put the l
