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 th

"Do you want a child?" Alex asked in a hoarse voice.Jane shook her head with determination. "No, Alex! I don't want children!""Really?"She smiled and leaned against his chest. "I'm a woman, Alex. I'm a living being who just got an abortion, it's not possible for me to not be upset. But I'm an adult, I know what I'm doing. I would have to plan ahead for the child if I give birth to her, so I don't want kids. I never thought I would be able to stay by your side for six years. That's six years worth of happiness. I'm not greedy, Alex." She closed her eyes and murmured, "As long as I get to stay by your side, to serve you and watch you, I think that is already the best gift God could give me. Everyday feels like a paradise to me. I've gotten more than my worth, Alex, do you understand?"Relieved, Alex tightened his arms around her and pulled her closer. He lowered his head and planted a few gentle kisses on the top of her head. "You are the most understanding woman I've ever met," he sa

How could such a small child be so witty? She was reminded of what Alex had always told her. He often said, "Sebastian has now become such a slave to his daughter! The man he used to be never blinked twice at killing others, he never smiled or even felt the slightest affection towards another! Now, look at him! He rushes home everyday after work to play with that little kid."Jane could understand. Who wouldn't melt when they have such a sweet child at home?"Let's go, auntie. My Mommy is waiting downstairs."Jane went to wash up and put on some make-up, and then went down to the living room holding Aino's hand. Aino had only heard that her mother was going to invite another auntie to shop with them. She loved nothing more than to make new friends. She had plenty of friends in her kindergarten, and a friend of her mother was a friend of hers. Just like that, the little child in a red dress led Jane downstairs.Jane used to dress in a more mature and elegant style whenever she was with

“Oh…” Jane looked at Sabrina. “Sabrina, is it okay if I meet your friends?”“Why not? One of them is the fiancé of one of the Poole brothers, you might meet each other often in the future. Her name is Ruth Mann. The other is my colleague, Yvonne. I’m sure you’ll like her when you meet her.”Sabrina was right. The moment Jane met Yvonne, who was like a lively human firecracker, she liked her immediately. Ruth, who was standing beside Yvonne, seemed more shy and reserved.Jane asked Sabrina softly, “Didn’t you say she’s quite fierce too?”“Oh, her!” Sabrina rolled her eyes at Ruth. “She’s an introvert! She’ll only show you how fierce she is after she grows close to you. She seems silly and naïve to those who don’t know her.”Jane laughed.“Uhm…” Ruth started awkwardly. “When I came here Ryan told me you’re his…Aunt, he asked me to call you Aunt too. Hello, Aunt Jane.”“You’re Ruth, right?” Jane asked.“Aunt Jane.”“How come you’re so obedient?” Jane couldn’t help but worry for her. Jane

The even more unkempt one was Ruth Mann! She was nothing but a shrewd, uncultured, unkempt woman, with no family background to boast about! And yet she married the second son of the Poole family, Ryan Poole! How could she! And that Jane Sheen! Back then, she was nothing but a beggar! A woman who was sold like a piece of product! And yet she was fortunate enough to become Alex’s girlfriend! A homeless woman, someone who almost starved to death despite begging for food, was now living a better life than her, the eldest daughter of the Poole family!Autumn looked at the four of them laughing and chatting together merrily. The longer she looked, the more furious she got. All four of them were nothing but lowly b*tches. Sabrina was an ex-convict, for heaven’s sake! Wandering from city to city for years! Jane’s situation was no better than being in prison either. Even though the other two were slightly better, they were still just common folks. Birds of the same feathers flock together indee
