No Way Back by Anna Mac

Chapter 352

“We feel the same too. Jane, meeting you was the best thing that has ever happened to us.”

Rain nodded repeatedly. “That’s right, Jane. Back then, I almost lost my humanity. It was you who saved me. God is good to me. He brought you

to me!”

Yale took the initiative to wipe Jane’s tears with his fingertips.

Jane took a deep breath and smiled “Alright, let’s not talk about this on such a happy day. Come, let’s drink!”

As she spoke, Jane took out a 1982 Lafite that she treasured and poured wine for everyone.

“No matter what, everyone has gone through so much together. Now, we’re sitting here together to celebrate Christmas”

“I hope that we get to spend every year like this. I wish everyone happiness, health, and bliss.”

“Cheers!”

Everyone clinked their wine glasses with each other.

It made a crisp sound.

The entire dining room was filled with laughter.

Everyone’s face was brimming with happiness.

Jane had shed the loneliness, pain, and torture of being alone.

Everyone sitting here had an important bond with each other.

After a few glasses of fine wine, Jane’s face turned slightly red. She was tipsy.

She rested her chin on one hand and watched the banter between her senior brothers and Rain.

She could not help but go into deep thought.

She really hoped that time could stop at this moment.

She didn’t want tonight to end.

She was happy.

After dinner, Jane watched the Christmas program on television with her senior brothers and Rain while chatting about recent events. Jane was complaining to her senior brothers about how bad the program was.

She would rather watch some dramas online.

Rain also yawned and felt like sleeping as he watched the television.

If not for the fact that his senior brothers and Jane were staying up.

Rain really wanted to go back to his room to rest.

They hung out with each other until after midnight.

Ring, ring!

Jane’s phone rang.

Jane received timely Christmas blessings from Lila, Andy, Hugh….

Jane responded to all of them [Merry Christmas’]

On Hugh’s side, Jane sent, [How’s your Christmas Eve dinner? You didn’t lose your appetite, did you?]

Hugh replied. The food is alright, but Uncle Raymond’s family is in a terrible fix. They didn’t even appear tonight]

Jane sent, [Diane is dead, Layne is in the hospital, and Luna has fainted. Your Uncle Raymond is around, but he didn’t appear.]

Hugh texted. [The matter was a big deal. In order to prevent Grandpa from getting angry, he definitely has to deal with the incident at Sun City Square first. Otherwise, he’s afraid that he won’t be able to keep his position… To him, power and money are the most important. He doesn’t care if his wife ****]

Jane asked, [From the looks of it, the Croft family is really heartless. After such a big incident, your grandfather and the others didn’t say anything and continued to have dinner on Christmas Eve?]

[The Croft family has always been like this. Whoever causes trouble has to be responsible for it. It’s already good enough that the others don’t add insult to injury and fight for power, so asking them for help is out of the question. It’s undoubtedly a ***dream ]

[When we were eating Christmas Eve dinner, Uncle Jack’s family couldn’t help but ask about Uncle Raymond’s family, causing Grandpa to lose his temper.]

[Uncle Matthew and the rest found out about Diane. They rushed to the hospital once they finished dinner]

As for Levi, Hugh didn’t bother to mention him.

Ever since his mother ***, Levi had become unconcerned about everything

Even if such a huge thing happened this time, Levi did not even care.

He just ate his own food

After eating, he bid farewell to Victor and left.

There seemed to be nothing in this world that Levi cared about.

He was just living like a zombie.

The previous Hugh could not understand Levi’s behavior.

They even thought that Levi blamed Hugh for his mother’s death.

That was why he ignored Hugh and watched coldly from the side.

It would be a lie to say that there was no hatred in Hugh’s heart.

Until Hugh met Jane.

If Hugh encountered the same thing as Levi, perhaps Hugh would feel even number than Levi.

He would have wished to ***with Jane.

Only then did he know it.

It turned out that he had really met the woman he loved in his life.

Now, he understood the feeling of powerlessness of watching someone he loved ****.

It could completely destroy a man’s pride.

If he didn’t feel this way, it could only mean that he didn’t love her enough.

[Uncle Matthew… Marlon’s father? To be able to raise a son like Marlon, Uncle Matthew’s family is as harmless as you said.]

[They were born in the Croft family. In some sense, they are both lucky and unlucky.]

Hugh knew that Jane’s Red Flag Squad had been incorporated by the state, and Marlon was one of the members.

Because of this, Hugh was jealous for a period of time and would find trouble with Marlon from time to time.

Marlon had been frustrated by that. However, he did not dare to offend Hugh and could only silently endure everything. Marlon wanted to cry but had no tears.

In essence, Hugh still valued Marlon’s talent.

He hoped that Marlon could join D.Y. Group and become his right-hand man.

Unexpectedly, Marlon and Jane had become so close after some time.

[Janie, I realized that… I seem to understand why my father became like this now. The resentment and hatred I have for him have lessened significantly.]

[This is the first time I really looked at him and empathized with him when I saw how old and powerless he was today.]

[Because I met you, I seem to have an additional fatal weakness. But without you, my life would be extremely cold and without warmth.]

After thinking for a moment, Hugh still told Jane about his feelings.

Even though Hugh had told her many times, he was still not tired of it.

He wanted Jane to know for sure.

In Hugh’s heart, Jane held a very special place.

It even surpassed everything that Hugh had, including his life.

Jane pursed her lips and typed a sentence on her phone.

[I’ll see your father when I can.]

She hit send.

Hugh’s heart could not help but race when he saw Jane’s response.

Jane meant…

However, when he thought of Levi, Hugh lowered his eyes to hide his sadness.

In the end, he only replied with one word.

[Okay.]

Since this was Jane’s request, Hugh would agree.

If Jane wanted the stars and the moon, Hugh would build a spaceship and fly to the sky to pick them for Jane.

It was time to go to bed.

Jane was still chatting with Lila in the room.

Knock, knock!

There was a knock on the door.

“Jane, are you asleep?”

It was Josh’s voice.
