Sextuplets From Ruthless Love

Alas, the lighter refused to cooperate no matter how many times he tried to light it.

"Damn it! Even the lighter is being a jerk!" he mused in annoyance.

Just as he was about to smash the useless lighter onto the floor, Jessica grabbed his hand.

"Let me."

Jessica took the lighter from his hand and flicked it lightly, generating a flame before lighting the cigarette for him.

Alfred looked at her with inexplicable emotions in his eyes before snubbing the cigarette in the ashtray.

He thought he should not let Jessica, a patient, inhale second-hand smoke.

"Mr. Whiteburn, I'm afraid I can't repay your kindness."

Jessica's voice was soft. She would never be able to repay what this man had done for her.

"I never wanted you to repay me."

A bitter smile appeared on Alfred's face as he turned away and lowered his head.

"I know," replied Jessica with a nod. Alfred had never asked her to do anything.

"Do you know who I am? I'm Alfred Whiteburn, and I'm extremely popular in Horington. I am vicious, resolute, decisive, and ruthless when doing things. However, when I met you..." As Alfred spoke, he despised himself for being such a huge softie.

He was never an emotional person, but when he saw what happened to her that day, he felt horrible, and the last thing he wanted was to see her get hurt again.

"Thank you, Mr. Whiteburn. I thank you from the bottom of my heart."

Jessica shook her head with a sigh and got up to help out in the kitchen.

Her condition was improving recently, but her wound was still in the process of healing. "I'll go. You stay here and rest."

Alfred held her hand and rolled his sleeves up before heading toward the kitchen.

his sleep and worked overtime in the company. He did all that for her sake.

Although he knew she would never fall in love with him, he still wanted to help her out however he could.

"Jeez. I didn't come back here to see the two of you acting all lovey-dovey."

Yolanda shook her head and turned to leave.

Jessica didn't say anything and smiled at the kids that came home with Yolanda.

"Asher?"

Jessica called out to Asher when she noticed the kids wearing new clothes.

Asher stood up and asked timidly, "Yes, Mommy?"

"Did Mommy know about what I did?" he wondered.

"I don't remember buying new clothes for you guys. Why are you wearing new clothes?"

Jessica approached Asher and frowned in confusion when

"I..."

Asher placed his hands beside his back and hung his head.

Faye, who didn't know what was going on, said with a grin, "Mommy, Asher bought us these clothes."
