Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime - Chapter 977

Chapter 977: Chapter 977 Going to the Bathroom_1 Chapter 977: Chapter 977 Going to the Bathroom_1 Jane McCain emerged from the room with her back tensed, step by step approaching that man, still feeling incredulous.

Was all of this a lie…

What about wanting to be with her for a lifetime, saying that meeting her was the greatest fortune of his life, declaring his undying love for her… Were they all lies to deceive her?

She should be heartbroken, crying.

But she couldn’t shed a single tear, as long as she thought of him cutting open her throat with a knife, letting the blood gush into her windpipe, choking into her lungs, suffering torture amidst suffocation and pain, Jane shivered all over, feeling only fear.

It turned out that she didn’t love him that much after all.

When her life was at stake, she couldn’t spare any concern for her love!

“Come and eat,” the man said, standing at the edge of the dining table, slowly pouring wine into a glass goblet, its color rich and seductive, like blood.

Jane pressed her lips together and tentatively said, “I need to step out…”

The man asked, “Where to?”

“Downstairs to buy a sanitary pad…” Jane contorted her mouth, trying to make her smile look natural, “I’m feeling a bit unwell, those few days each month…”

The man smiled, “No need for that, there’s still a new pack in the bathroom cabinet, have you forgotten?”

Jane’s smile froze at the corners of her mouth: “Is that so…”

This really was a poor excuse.

But even if she came up with a better one, he wouldn’t allow her to leave… What should she do now? She could only test him once, probing too much would arouse his suspicion.

Jane took a deep breath.

The man put away the bottle and said, “Since you got your period, you shouldn’t drink alcohol.”

He looked up at her and beckoned, “Why the daze? Come and eat.”

Jane had no choice but to walk over.

The dining table was laid out with delicious food and beautiful flowers accompanied by fine wine. If it weren’t for that story she had heard, Jane thought, would she feel very happy and sweet now?

Seeing her distracted, the man asked with a smile, “Janie, what’s wrong with you today? Eat your food.”

Eat food?

Jane recalled that bite of curry shrimp tail she had when she first came in, only to feel her stomach cramping, wanting to vomit.

Who could be certain that these dishes weren’t drugged?

Jane held her chopsticks, hesitating to touch the food.

She had met this man abroad.

Back then, she was in a convenience store, having forgotten her wallet and unable to pay. The man happened to be in line behind her, courteously stepped in to pay for her, and since they both were from Huaya Country, a sense of kinship emerged, leading them to exchange phone numbers. Communication evolved into familiarity, and the more they talked, the more they felt like perfectly matched souls.

At the time, she thought she had found her true love, but now, upon reflection, she realized she knew far too little about this man…

“Janie, do you not have an appetite?” the man asked, his expression showing concern when he saw she wasn’t eating.

Jane gave a low “hm” in response.

“Sigh, you must be too tired.” The man put down his chopsticks, stood up, and came up behind her, his hands gently resting on her shoulders, “I’ve prepared the hot water for you; go take a bath to relax.”

With that, he pulled Jane up.

Jane panicked instantly: “No… it’s not necessary!”

“Janie, you need to relax,” the man said, his tone clearly gentle, yet the strength in his hands did not lessen by a fraction.

Jane faintly understood what awaited her, and she couldn’t help but grip the table tightly, refusing to follow the man to the bathroom, “I don’t want to… I don’t want to go to the bathroom right now!”

The man’s brows furrowed slightly, “Janie?”

Jane took a deep breath, pretending not to understand the fleeting excitement in his eyes.

“Actually… there’s something I want to tell you!” she managed to control her nervously trembling tongue and said to him, “I went to Kingsley for a friend’s wedding recently, and… I was deeply moved. There’s something I must confess to you! Otherwise, I’ll never be able to let it go for the rest of my life!”

The man’s eyes darkened, like still pond water without a ripple, no secret could shake his fascination with killing.

“Janie, we can talk about this later…”

“No!” Jane’s voice suddenly rose, “We’ll talk about it now; I can’t wait another moment!”
