"Alex..." Jane leaned against the window and called out to him again in despair.
Alex stared at Jane coldly. "Say what you need to say. I've already made plans so I can't stay here for long. There are plenty of matters that await me back in Kidon City."
"Alex, my mom..." Jane choked back on her tears, and suddenly realized that she was not in a position to ask for Alex's help regarding her mother. She had just asked him to leave in front of so many people. "You... You... I..."
"Say what you want to say," he said.
"You... You used to think that I served you well, didn't you?" Jane looked at Alex longingly.
"I think that there won't be another person on Earth who knows your needs better than I do; no one knows better than me about what positions you enjoy most; n o one knows your body better than I do."
"So Alex... Take me as...as your..." Jane simply could not bring herself to say the word 'mistress’. She did not know if she even had the right to ask for it.
Alex was still wearing his sunglasses, and the
cigarette between his lips had burnt out. Faint smoke oozed from his nose. His position and expression were both majestic and composed.
"You...made up your mind to come back to me, then?" h e finally said.
"C--Can I?" she asked in anticipation.
"Are you doing this willingly?"
Jane nodded frantically. "I...I am doing this willingly."
"Do you love me?"
"I do!" h n
"..." Jane's cheeks instantly flushed a bright red. She had been apart from him for almost five months, so the unfamiliarity between them had made it embarrassing for her to get closer to him. She used to sit on his lap, lean against his embrace and wrap her arms around his neck; it was something common back then. Now, she did not know what to do, but Alex did not seem to want to let her off easy. He continued t o stare at her coldly.
The blush on her face deepened by the second, but still, she struggled to move with her pregnant belly and moved closer to him. Slowly and steadily, she raised her arms and took the initiative by wrapping them around his neck.
"Alex, take me home. I'm tired," she said with
resignation.
Outside the car, all the women watched enviously, not even noticing how their nails were digging into their own flesh.
Inside the car, Jane's pale lips without a hint of color were already getting closer to Alex. At that very moment, he could no longer hold it in. He opened his iron-like arms before pulling her into his embrace fiercely.
"You little woman, you don't think I can handle you?" h e said in a low and hoarse voice.
