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, s o how could he force her?
