Alanna Jacinto has been Hades Florentine's secret lover for three years. Despite that, she hasn't won his heart or love. But when she's finally decided to give up, he comes chasing after her.Alanna says coldly, "Too little, too late, Mr. Florentine. Your love is cheaper than dirt."Hades holds her tightly. "Yes, my love is cheaper than dirt, and I am too. Don't go, Ally. I'm begging you."
View MoreHector remained silent. "Your overseas assignment might be postponed for the meantime.""What if I want to apply to go abroad for personal reasons?"Hector replied in a low voice, "You can try, but it will be difficult to get the approval. Also, the process will be lengthy."Alanna sighed softly. "Okay, I understand."Alanna hung up the phone. Hades also came out of the bathroom. He felt somewhat cold.After putting on a set of pajamas, he came to hug Alanna."Aren't you sleepy yet?"Alanna whispered, "Hades, our baby will be okay, right?"Hades hugged her tightly and responded after a while."Yes."Alanna didn't know when she fell asleep. Even in her sleep, her brows were furrowed.Feeling somewhat distressed, Hades hugged her tighter.He swore to himself that he wouldn't let anything happen to her this time.In the following days, Alanna remained busy.But she knew that Hades had arranged many people in the neighborhood.Literally everybody there was Hades' men.He al
Alanna wasn't sure how to respond to his words.Since the beginning, she didn't consider this child to be Hades' responsibility.In fact, she didn't even plan to let Hades know about the existence of this child at first.She understood that neither her efforts nor Hades' efforts could guarantee the child's safety.She knew better than anyone that the best way now was to go abroad, hide away from those people, and safely give birth to the child.Yet in her current position, if she didn't go on an assignment, going abroad would require layers of approval. Moreover, she would be supervised even if she went.Not to mention there had been no news of an assignment.Getting approval to go abroad was not that easy either.She quietly looked out the window.Her mind was full of the evil gaze of Cyrus' illegitimate child.Hades lightly brushed her cheek with his finger."Don't be afraid. I will protect both of you."Irritated, Alanna pushed his hand away.Hades' mood seemed to lit u
Upon hearing Olivia's words, Holly felt a bit embarrassed."Mrs. Campbell Senior, I didn't mean it that way. I'm just reminding you that Alanna is not a simple woman. Whether you want to take it to heart or not is up to you."After saying that, she gracefully left with her wine glass.Olivia watched as Holly left, her expression gradually darkening.She might seem unfazed, but in fact, she was somewhat worried.Ever since she learned that Alanna from Northlight Group was a young and beautiful girl, she had been feeling somewhat uneasy.Today, Holly's words only added to her discomfort.She waved to the side, and a bodyguard approached her."Investigate everything Hudson did while he was in Jagersville."The bodyguard responded with a hum and left.After the birthday banquet officially started, Benedict summoned Alanna again.He introduced her to the prominent figures of Brunstein City.Seeing Benedict's attitude towards Alanna, everyone was delighted.Who knew she might be
Alanna simply smiled. "Mrs. Simmons, Grandpa, Great-Grandpa, thank you for defending me earlier."She said with reddened eyes.Since she was young, she had envied other people's families.She envied others for having fathers. Later, she envied others for having fathers who didn't hit their mothers. Then, she envied others for having mothers.She had never experienced much family love.But she didn't expect that the Simmonses would defend her today. It was as if she were part of their family.Jill's heart ached even more.She approached Alanna and hugged her."Silly kid, we were just telling the truth."After coming out of the room, Hades pinched Alanna's chin and carefully wiped away her tears."Were you so touched by their words?"Alanna pushed his hands away. She did not know what was wrong with her. She just couldn't help but want to cry.She wiped her own tears. Just as she was about to say something, she heard someone calling her name."Alanna."Hudson saw Alanna and
As soon as Alexander finished speaking, Hades sneered."Mr. Maxwell Senior, this matter was decided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the disciplinary committee. What does it have to do with Alanna?"Alexander's face instantly fell."Hades, no matter what, Holly is still your fiancée!"Hades' expression turned dark. "I have only proposed to one woman in my life, and that is Alanna. Mr. Maxwell Senior, you'll be humiliated if you insist on talking nonsense.""Hades, you ...""That's enough!" Benedict finally couldn't stand it anymore. He shouted, "Do you think the Summons Manor is a place where you can do as you please? If you don't want to stay here, then get out!"Alexander glanced at Hades and looked away.He then boldly went forward and presented the gift he prepared to Benedict."Mr. Simmons Senior, Holly has grown up under your care. She was indeed wrong about what happened last time. But I hope you won't ruin a child's future just like that."Benedict snorted. Befo
Alanna often saw him on TV and in the news."Just call him Grandpa."Alanna whispered, "Hello, Grandpa."Jeremy stared at Alanna and was slightly dazed. After a moment, he nodded. "Nice to meet you. Come visit us often in the future."Alanna smiled and agreed.Benedict then introduced her to the other family members.When they approached Jeff's third uncle, Gwyneth couldn't help rolling her eyes.She was about to say something when she saw Hades' gaze sweep over in their direction.She quickly swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue.Even now, she felt a pang in her heart whenever she saw Hades.It wasn't just Hades. She felt the same way towards Benedict and Jeff's parents.She wondered what kind of trick Alanna had used on them. They were treating a nobody like her better than her own daughter.Gwyneth muttered inwardly and walked away.After Benedict introduced Alanna to everyone, Jill pulled her aside."I heard from Hector that you've handed over all your work."
Hades pulled her to the table."You don't have anyone to look after you, and I'm worried. You can't keep eating takeout all the time."Alanna glanced at him but remained silent.She had already stopped working at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.As her belly grew bigger, it became inconvenient for her to move around.She would deal with all the JM Group's affairs and Grayson's companies' affairs from home.Grayson had said he would find someone to help Alanna, but he ended up working for her himself.Watching Grayson clinging to Alanna every day, Hades was unhappy.But they only talked about work when they were together. So he couldn't bring himself to say anything else.Renee only found out about Alanna and Hades' story after she arrived in Brunstein City.Although she had jokingly tried to set those two up, she was still shocked upon learning they were actually dating now. Especially after seeing Hades, who used to be so aloof and intimidating, clinging to Alanna now, Ren
Hades let out a slightly bitter laugh but didn't say anything.After parting with Chelsey, Hades lowered his gaze and said to Alanna."Ally, I won't let anything happen to you and our child."Alanna looked down and chuckled. Then, she said."Hades, sometimes promises don't make any difference."Hades chuckled. He knew what she meant.Indeed, it was his fault for not handling things properly at first.But now, even if he had to risk his life, he wouldn't let anything happen to them.Of course, he didn't voice his thoughts.Hades had arranged for Alanna to see a private doctor.After the check-up, the doctor enthusiastically pointed out. "Here is the head, and here is the baby's little buttocks. The baby looks very healthy."Alanna looked at the images on the computer screen and suddenly felt her nose tingle.This was her child, her own flesh and blood.She wiped a tear from the corner of her eye. "I'll definitely give birth to her healthy, right?"The doctor smiled. "Of co
Alanna could tell that Hades was trying hard to suppress himself before her.But that feeling still lingered in her mind.She didn't say much. She simply sat down at the table and opened up the food.Hades finished his conversation on the phone and asked."Are you planning to move?"Alanna paused briefly and responded after a while."Yes."Her work was settled in Brunstein City, and she couldn't keep staying in hotels.So, she asked Travis to help her find a house.After Alanna finished speaking, she looked at Hades.She was expecting him to say something like wanting to live with her, but to her surprise, he simply nodded."It is indeed inconvenient to live in a hotel."Alanna pursed her lip, nodded, and didn't say anything more.Hades chuckled."What? Are you disappointed I didn't say I'd go with you?"Alanna glared at him and remained silent.That night, Alanna and Hades surprisingly didn't end up arguing.They talked until late into the night, from their first enco
