Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 1486

Sebastian paused out of shock on the other end of the line and asked, "Alex, what did you just say?"

Over on the other side, Alex had already hung up. Never had he imagined that Jane would approach him while he was talking to Sebastian. Jane knocked o n the window and Andrew opened it. Without any warning, Jane had spotted Alex from outside the car.

Jane seemed composed at the sight of Alex. "How many days have you been here?" she asked.

Alex, on the other hand, felt as though he had been caught doing something wrong. "J-Jane..."

Jane smiled miserably. "Mr. Poole, will you just give m e a quick death?"

It had been four months since they had seen one another and the re-encounter felt like it had been centuries. Alex felt dazed like he was in some sort of fantasy; while Jane's tone sounded as distant as though they had never met before, with no trace of the time they spent living together in the past eight years. Not to mention that she had borne his children before and was still pregnant with his child at the moment. Her tone reflected the composure of someone that had thought everything through, which made it seem as though there was nothing between the two of them --not love, nor resentment -- even when she was speaking of her own death.

Alex felt his heart aching as though something was stuck in it. He stared at Jane dazedly and struggled for a while before finally muttering, "Jane, y--you... You have gotten thinner."

Jane snorted. "You, on the other hand, haven't changed one bit, Mr. Poole. Still the same pretentious man as you were before. You could still be smiling at me even if you plan on killing me the next second."
