chapter 1616
Alex looked at Jane with anticipation written all over his face. He was not seeking sensual comfort or pleasure. He just wanted both their hearts to merge through skin-to-skin contact with each other. The best effect was for them to be able to return to how they were back then. She had loved him in the past, and because she loved him, she was happy. However, her heart was numb at that moment. Jane hung her head and did not speak for a long time.
After a long while, she said in a low voice, “ I’m sorry, Alex. I...I’m sorry. I...really wanted to try, and I wanted very much to try to please you, but I...I can no longer return to how it was before anymore.”
As she said that, she began to cry.
“I can’t forget all the little moments I had spent together with Noah. I can’t forget that moment I was kicked out by you. I now know that it was also just a tiny slip up for you back then that had led to such severe consequences. You’ve kicked me out back then because you had not realized that you were actually in love with me. You couldn’t clearly distinguish your feelings.
“I have already forgiven you and I don’t blame you at all. I truly wanted to be how we used to be as before. However, when I think of that kind of violent beatings I have experienced which had left me on the verge of dying, when I think of me braving the bitterly cold wind as I squatted outside of your mansion alone in the middle of the night, also when I...was bent over at your feet to pick up those leftovers...Alex, I just couldn’t bring myself to be interested. Just give me a bit more time, alright? It’s very difficult for me to forget what I’ve been through in the past four months. It’s very hard. I’m sorry.”
She said it with a heavy heart, and it was very apologetic. However, Alex’s heart felt so painful as if it had been sliced open.
Everything that she had been through was not caused by his intentions, but it was all because of him. The reason she became so depressed and dispirited was closely related to him, so how could he force her?
He hugged her tightly in his arms, pressed his warm lips against her forehead. “I’m sorry, Jane. I’m sorry. It wouldn’t even be enough for me to pay you back with my whole life. I’m sorry. Forgive me, alright?”
“I have forgiven you, Alex. You are still the man who treated me the best in this world. I have forgiven you.” She looked at him with a gentle gaze.
“Go to sleep. I’ll watch over you, and I won’t touch you again,” said Alex with his arms wrapped around her.
“Okay.”
She gently rested her head on his shoulder and gradually fell asleep. Only then did he gently put her down. Even so, he still did not pull his arm back out. His arm might be numb the whole night from being leaned on. However, to Alex, he was very satisfied. He even bit his finger a few times throughout the night because the fact that his woman had returned to his side simply felt like it was all just a dream. He only felt that it was real and it turned out not to be a dream every time he felt the pain from biting his finger. He then could not help himself but smile. Throughout the whole night, he just smiled as he watched his woman sleep.
