chapter 1575
"Would you be willing to accept that?"
II II • ••
Jane grinned. "There isn't such a thing as forgiving or not forgiving, since we have broken up, all ties should be cut. If you are a demon that I can't shake, naturally, I can only go with you and let you do whatever you want to me. But now that you've mentioned that you never hurt normal people, and that you've been looking for me, then what I can say to you, Alex, is that we are done. We will never be together again. I'm tired. I'm so tired. I'm thirty-five this year, not twenty. I can't go through the storm again in my life. As long as I'm alive to give birth to my child, to take good care of my mother... That's what would make me feel most grounded. I never belonged to your world to begin with. Your family, everyone around you, and most importantly, yourself, none of you have ever thought of me as a suitable match. I see it clearly now; my life belongs in the mud. You are Master Alex of Kidon City, the one and only of the entire city. We aren't good for each other. Go back, Alex. I've forgiven you. I won’t resent you again, but I won't go back with you."
Jane turned to slowly walk away out of the mansion as she spoke, she was stumbling. Her clothes were in pieces, and because of her weakened state, she had to lift her belly with her hands gingerly as she walked.
Alex looked at her and his heart ached to the point that his voice trembled. "Jane, are you not even going to give me a chance for making just one mistake? I made one mistake, and you are going to label US as a dead case?"
"A mistake?" Jane turned around and stared at Alex expressionlessly. "Do you know what it's like for your heart to die? For almost eight years, we ate together. We slept together.
There weren't another two as close as US. The time I spent with you was longer than even that of you and your blood brothers and your parents. In the end, you chased me out of your home with no hesitation and just a few words. At that very moment, my heart had been struck dead by you. My heart's already dead, so what use is it to talk about who's right and who's wrong? I don't have a heart anymore, Alex. My plan for the rest of my life is simple: to take care of Mom; and as for my child, if I get to give birth to it, it's luck; if I can't, then it's fate. That's all."
With that, Jane turned to leave again. Alex could tell that Jane would rather die out there than to go back with him. she was determined. He was different from Sebastian. Back when Sebastian brought Sabrina back from foreign lands, he had leverage over Sabrina: Zayn and Aino. On top of that, Sabrina had not lived with Sebastian all those years ago and had not given much to him; whereas Jane had given Alex her life. Indeed, he had struck her heart dead.
Alex did not go after her immediately, and instead watched as Jane stepped out of the mansion. Coincidentally, a car was parked outside the mansion and Noah's mother got out of the car.
