Chapter 761 She Is Just a Swindler
"Let's go eat," Louis reiterated, and Jane took the initiative to link arms with him.
Her touch was exhilarating for Louis, and the words "starting anew" flashed through his mind. Theywould live happily together in the future.
She would always be by his side, and they might even have a child of their own.
"After Vivian is cured, there will be a specialist taking care of her..."
"You want to separate me from Vivian?"
Jane couldn't remain calm after hearing this. She even showed signs of wanting to retract her handfrom Louis's grip. However, he noticed it and held on tighter.
"I didn't mean that. Vivian is young but needs surgery; no one knows what will happen afterward.Having someone look after her can help ensure she recovers properly. Besides, when she getsbetter, won't she need to go to school?" Finally, Louis asked Jane a question in return.
Although Jane remained silent at first, her heart felt heavy inside.
Undeniably, what Louis said made sense: Vivian was already at an age where she should beattending school; however, due to health reasons, she had been resting at home all this time.
Louis had thought everything through thoroughly, but she misunderstood him instead.
"Louis..."
"Jane, we've got married."
Jane wanted to apologize but before she could finish speaking, he interrupted her with those wordsinstead.
Louis turned towards her with his blue eyes focused solely on hers - captivatingly beautiful.
How could Jane not understand what he meant?
"I'm sorry," said Jane as if trying to make amends for earlier misunderstandings. "Vivian meanseverything to me since I don't have any other family members left."
"Silly girl! Don't you still have me? My words carry weight around here." He pulled away fromholding hands with her, then wrapped an arm around her shoulder while applying some pressuretoo.
Jane leaned against his chest, listening intently as they both stood there together, feeling thestrength of his heartbeat pulsing against hers along with that familiar yet intoxicating scentsurrounding them both.
For a moment there though – something felt off about it all – like something wasn't quite right...
Why did memories suddenly flood back into Jane's mind? What exactly had happened in the past?
Jane was overwhelmed by the years of experience she had gone through, and although the pastwas behind her, why did her heart still race when she was with this man in front of her? Why wereher thoughts so uncontrollable?
Louis' phone rang, interrupting Jane's thoughts.
He held onto her with one hand and reached for his phone with the other.
However, he only glanced at it before hanging up.
Jane pursed her lips. "Um... if you're busy, you can go ahead and do what you need to do. Don'tworry about me; I'll wait for you no matter how late it is tonight."
She knew he had money and naturally didn't have much leisure time.
But Louis casually said, "It's just some unimportant matters. Besides, nothing is more importantthan being with you right now."
The words came suddenly but they hit Jane straight in the heart.
For all these years of struggling on her own for survival, this was the first time someone had saidsomething like that to her - that nothing else mattered more than being with her.
She felt satisfied and warm inside - even more so because his promise wasn't just about herselfalone.
"But I don't want to hold you back..."
She knew his status wasn't simple while she herself was just a poor swindler who happened to be asingle mother as well...
"How could you think like that?" Louis frowned when he heard what Jane said; his face turned coldtoo.
Jane shrugged helplessly. "It's not like that; I'm just worried... our backgrounds are different and ifwe get married, our lifestyles may clash. I don't want my presence to hinder your original lifetrajectory."
The more she spoke like this, the deeper Louis' frown became - which surprised Jane since it wasrare for him to show displeasure around here...novelbin
Oh well! She couldn't afford offending such an important person anyway. She might as well trymaking him happy first before anything else!
"Sorry," She apologized while lowering her head as if feeling guilty over something, which madeLouis' mind drift back several years ago during those days when Jane stayed by his side as hisassistant.
No matter what he asked for, she always got it done right away with great efficiency and excellentresults. Sometimes when things went wrong, she would apologize to him like she was doing now,waiting for his response and forgiveness.
Since she was starting a new life, how could she have such an expression?
No, that's not right.
"Jane, you don't need to apologize to me. I should be the one apologizing. I'm sorry that I made youfeel this way..."
Louis held her shoulders and apologized while pursing his lips. Guilt flooded his blue eyes.
This guilt made Jane even more uneasy.
They were still in the mall with people coming and going.
"Don't think about these trivial matters anymore. You said we were going to eat together? Let's goeat first."
Jane quickly took Louis' hand and didn't want to talk about this topic anymore.
"No, I must clarify this matter with you." Louis' attitude was very firm as he stood still in place,unwilling to move on.
"This is not a trivial matter for me because I want to spend my life with you. You haven't affectedanything in my life; instead, everything concerning you is what's most important and what should becared about the most."
It was rare for someone to say such words to her.
"Really? Then what exactly happened between us?"
The words slipped out of Jane's mouth before she could take them back.
Louis didn't expect her question but couldn't avoid those past events either.
If...
"Forget it; it was just a casual question. We're going out for food anyway, so let's go."
