Chapter 165 - It’s my loss for falling in love with…
"Make love to me, just once," Joanna held Alex’s gaze and said, noticing the stunned expression on his face.
Joanna knew she couldn’t have Alex, but her inner turmoil wouldn’t let her give up on him.
She desired to have a part of him, hoping to conceive from that one night, but she doubted Alex would agree to it.
His expression was disappointing, showing no sign of granting her wish, which made her lose hope.
"I told you, you couldn’t afford it." She poured another glass of wine and raised it to her lips, but she couldn’t bring herself to drink it.
With a bitter smile, she started heading upstairs to pack her bags, unaware that Alex had already had the maids do it for her when he spoke from behind.
"Are you sure you want this?"
Joanna was startled as she hadn’t heard his footsteps and turned to face him.
Hope shone in her eyes as she reminisced about the times they had shared a bed, even though Alex had been absent most of the time.
She endured the intense desires she felt for him, yearning for him to satisfy her needs and to secretly have his child. She was willing to raise the child as her own without anyone knowing, not even Alex.
"More than anything, it’s my loss for falling in love with a man I shouldn’t have. But if you ever felt anything for me, I hope you won’t deny my request," she expressed, her words touching Alex deeply as he realized he had also fallen in love with her.
