Chapter 61.

Adrian's POV.I was running after Jane when Doctor Morgan called me."Mr Blackwood?"I stopped, and turned to her. "Yes?""May I have a word with you?" She asked.I walked back to her. "I'm listening."She looked at me as if considering if she should speak or not. Then she finally spoke. "Your wife...""We're divorced now," I corrected, my voice low, even though I didn't mean it. I don't mean it anymore."Don't give me that crap. We both know you're lying," she replied, giving a little frown like she was disappointed with my reply."But—""Yes, you two are divorced on paper," she cut me off. "But your heart has refused to let her go."I shook my head slowly. "You're wrong, Doc... I was the one who let go first... a long time ago. In fact, I never even held her. I...""Do not give up on her."Her words were soft but they hit me harder than anything. They hit the right spot in my mind."It's not easy to hate someone you love," she added, and I laughed. It wasn't one of mockery or humor,

Chapter 62.

Jane's POV."Case number AC657 adjourned until the next hearing on 15th May, 2026." "All rise," the ballif instructed as the judge exited the courtroom.I gave a curt nod to Helen before leaving the courtroom too. Returning to my office, I kicked my heels out from my feet, and crashed into my seat. Throwing my head back in my seat, I heaved a deep sigh. Ethan walked in moments later with two canned drinks looking very chilled. "Cheers!" He offered me one.I looked at him, completely tired. "Cheers to what?" He chuckled before pressing the drink into my palm. "I mean why the hell did he have to adjourn the case?!" I suddenly yanked up. "It was a small and easy case so why prolonging it for no obvious reason?" I was so furious I could literally feel my body steaming off. Ethan gestured to the drink in my palm, "help yourself, please." Sighing frustratingly, I opened the car, making a crack sound echo in the room. Taking a heavy gulp, I felt the cold liquid hit the burning spot i

Chapter 63.

Adrian's POV.For a moment, I thought I had struck a cord in her until she turned and walked away but at least with everything I gave to her. I smiled to myself. At least, she didn't give me an outburst like she always did.The pest looked at me with eyes shooting daggers. With a calm yet provoking smirk, I walked away. As soon as I got away from the crowd, I pulled out my phone from my jacket, and put a call on Lena. She picked up on the first ring."God! Lena, it worked!" I was so excited. "Told ya," she chuckled from the other end of the line. I had called her earlier today after retrieving my phone from Jane's apartment, and told her I wanted to do something for Jane but didn't know what to do.She told me what to do, helped me with some of it, and boosted my confidence. "Thank you so much, Lena," I was really grateful to her, you could hear it from my voice."It's nothing, sir," she responded. "You can always call on me whenever you need help.""Of course," I nodded, even t

Chapter 64.

Jane's POV."Okay!" Ethan exclaimed as he placed the steaming bowl of noodles on the table. I stared up at him through my eyelashes. "Really? A bowl of noodles after the 'I'm gonna cook you something spectacular' rant?" He'd filled up ears all the way back from work about how he was gonna cook me something spectacular for dinner that I didn't really expect the something spectacular would turn out to be a bowl of noodles.He scratched the back of his head nervously. "I guess so."I burst into laughter immediately. He was so damn cute at the moment. I stood up, and walked to him with laughter still painting my lips. Raising my hand to his cheek, I wiped of the flour he had there. "How come you have flour smeared on your face, did you bake the noodles?" I laughed. As I pulled my hand from his face, he held it still. His fingers tightened around mine gently, like he was scared I’d pull away if he held too hard.The laughter slowly faded from my lips."Ethan..." I called softly, confus

Chapter 65.

Adrian's POV. I slid my phone back into my pocket. If being creepy is gonna get me Jane, then I don't mind. "Adrian?" I heard that familiar, unmistakable voice. One of the voices I really don't want to hear right now. I turned to find her approaching me with hurried steps, as if I might disappear if she wasn't fast enough. "Thank goodness I met you here," she said as she stopped in front of me. "I went to the Blackwood estate many times, they told me you moved out. I don't see you at the company, and you no longer answer my calls. What is going on, Adrian?" I gazed at her for a few seconds before I finally spoke. "I'm no longer the CEO of Blackwood Holdings, and I'm a soon to be father who is busy taking care of his family.""You divorced her!" Her voice raised slightly as if trying to assert a fact on me."Which is the stupidest thing I've ever done in my life," I retorted. She seemed shock. "Adrian..." her voice dropped as she stepped closer to me. "Adrian, this isn't what yo

Chapter 66.

Jane's POV.I focused solely on my already soggy bowl of noodles. Ethan sat with me on the couch but there was a meaningful distance between us. A very meaningful one. We hadn't said a word to each other since he confessed his feelings to me a while ago.The doorbell rang and I sprang up quickly to get it, thankful the distraction. I opened the door and froze. "You?" "Hi darling," he flashed me a bright smile, pushing past me into my apartment. What?!I closed the door and followed right behind him instantly. "Adrian, are you —""Mmmm," he nodded in understanding. "I see that you're busy," he said, taking in the papers on the table. "Exactly as I predicted," he added as his gaze fell on the bowl of noodles. What the hell did he predict?"And I'm here to help you get that fixed," he finished with a smile. I raised an eyebrow at him, and he gave me an even wider smile that formed a knot in my stomach. "Adrian, get out!" I spat, more exhausted than angry. "Yeah, I will," he agree

Chapter 67.

Adrian's POV. I don't know what happened with me but I went crazy seeing him... him and her... I couldn't bear it. I claimed her lips softly, shutting my eyes. I expected her to push me away but she didn't. I pressed closer to her, feeling her soft body against my hard one. Her lips trembled softly against mine, and that tiny reaction alone nearly destroyed whatever sanity I had left.God.For three years I had lived beside this woman without truly touching her heart, and now one kiss felt like drowning.I deepened the kiss carefully, afraid that if I moved too fast she would disappear again.Jane's fingers curled weakly against my shirt, and my chest tightened painfully.She kissed me back, not fully, not completely but enough to make my mind go blank. Enough to make hope bloom dangerously inside me.My hand slid carefully to her waist, pulling her slightly closer, and a soft sound escaped her lips before she suddenly stiffened as reality hit her.I felt the exact moment it retu

Chapter 68.

Jane's POV. I woke up the following morning with his words in my ears, "I'm sorry."I heaved a heavy sigh as I sat up. Those words weren't enough to atone for all the wrong things he did to me. I glanced at my alarm clock and gasped. I was gonna be late for work if I don't get out of bed now. Quickly, I scrambled out of bed, dashing into the bathroom immediately. After a quick bath, I put on something classic, corporate yet comfy. There was no time for breakfast but I wouldn't dare to miss breakfast. Not when I have a child in my belly. I rushed out of my bedroom and froze at the door, my whole body going still instantly. Slowly, I crouched to the floor in front of him. God, I can't believe he slept here at the door, sitting on the floor, leaning against the wall, his body all coiled up and his head badly placed. I hissed under my breath and reached out to placed his head properly and I flinched as soon as I touched him. He was so cold. Without thinking, I rushed back into m
