Jane's voice had been extremely small, almost like a murmur. However, Alex had had training from a young age and had an excellent hearing. As a matter o f fact, that was something that he knew would happen. Those two had spent four months together, so how could they not be staying together as well? And yet, when he heard the words coming from Jane's mouth, he still could not help the overwhelming despair he felt within him. He felt a throbbing in his head as he desperately wanted to tear the room down. However, what Noah said next had snapped Alex out o f his blinding anger. 1
"Silly girl! How could you be so silly? Have you forgotten what the doctor told you? It's not easy for you to carry this child to begin with, so you must be careful. One accident, and you will lose the chance of becoming a mother forever. We are bound to get married someday, so what's the rush?" Noah said gently.
Jane's tone became even softer, "But I want to take care of you, Noah. It's been four months since you rescued me and you haven't so much as touched me. Are you... Are you not interested in me?"
"How silly!" Noah laughed. "I wouldn't have taken my mother and followed you all the way here if I was not interested in you. Of course I do, but I can't hurt you. I can wait. I'll wait until after you give birth and
recover. Once it's time, I won't let you go, even if you don't come to me! I will show you what a majestic beast I am then!"
"So talkative!"
"I enjoy being talkative with my wife!" He laughed, before continuing, "Go in and sleep. My mom and I will keep you company out here."
"Okay. Good night, Noah."
After that, Alex heard small noises of footsteps from outside the room. At that very moment, Alex felt such relief that there was a lump in his throat as he listened to the noises in the room from the outside.
