Chapter 351 Alice heard his fast, shallow breathing near her ear.
Her heart fluttered unexpectedly, and she gripped the sheet firmly.
Jack Menu slightly turned his head and laughed softly,âWhy Aliceâs voice shook. âWhy wouldnât I? Are you trying to harass and flirt with me right now?â Jack sat up slightly and looked at her face, âYouâre my girlfriend, so Iâm not flirting with you. I just want you to like me a bit more.â
are you hiding?â
She was his girlfriend. Shouldnât she let him kiss her?
Alice looked up and said firmly, âJack, I told you weâre breaking up. Iâm not your girlfriend anymore.â
ââIs that so?â
Jack held her face.âIâll say this one last time. I didnât agree to break with you.â up âBut I want to break up with Please leave and donât bother me anymore.â Alice got angrier as she talked, âIf you think you can manipulate and toy with me at will, you are mistaken.â
you.
Her voice shook, and her eyes began to turn red.
She wanted to know how he saw their relationship after she learned his true identity and suggested breaking up.
Jack saw her crying and felt confused for a moment.
He didnât mean to make her cry.
He softly wiped her tears and said, âDonât cry. Iâm sorry, I shouldnât have said that. I promise, I will respect your thoughts from now on.â
He would ask her before kissing her.
Alice didnât want to cry because it embarrassed her.
But when he touched her face, her tears poured out uncontrollably.
Seeing her cry, Jack felt a strong pain in his heart.-
He leaned down and softly said, âDonât cry, please. Iâm sorry.â
Alice sniffled but stayed silent.
âI was wrong to lie to you for so long. If you really want to break up with me, then okay.â
What could Jack do with her crying so much? He could only agree with what she said.
Alice cried even more when he agreed to the breakup.
Why did she feel worse?
Alice pushed him away awkwardly.âThen stay away.â
Now that they were broken up, he was her ex. Then they should maintain some distance between them.
Alice, please stop crying. Let me court you again. This time, Iâll do my best.â

and her tears slowed.
quietly, âFeeling better?â
She wiped her tears, feeling awkward.âYouâre too close,â she said, pushing him away firmly.
*Jack raised himself up and narrowed his eyes.âDoes that mean youâre not angry anymore?â
âWhy did hide who you are? Did you you think I was with you for your money?â.
Alice wanted to know the answer.
Jack looked at her and sat on the bed edge, saying, âItâs not that. Thereâs another reason.â
What reason?â
Jack put his hands on his legs and looked down.âI canât tell you now.â
Alice glanced at his side.âIn New York, did you hide who you are from everyone, or only from me?â
âFrom everyone, but not Andrew.â
Jack went to New York secretly to see how Alice lived.
Hearing this, Alice felt slightly relieved.
Jack turned his head.âWhy did you ask that?â
Alice glanced at the ceiling.âIf you hid it just from me, Iâd think you had a bad reason.â If Jack hid it from everyone, it meant his New York trip was secret, so he hid his identity from all.
She got that.
She stared at him.âBut you hid it from everyone. Youâre probably worried because your status- Fortunately, Iâm just an ordinary person and donât need to have such worries.â Jackâs eyes intense, then he touched her forehead and sighed when he felt her normal temperature.

to your friends been here?
âItâs cold and a bit greasy, not good for you eat. Iâll get you a fresh one.
Jack checked the lunchbox, sounding a bit critical, and took it away.
Soon, Jack put a dinner from Pear Orchard in front of Alice.âThese foods would be better choices.â
Alice also thought light food was better for her now.
She looked at him.âHave you eaten?â
Jack took her utensils and ate the food she left.
Alice was surprised. She said, âI already ate from this.â

Chapter 351 Jack ate fast, finishing in a few bites.
He set down his fork.âIâll send someone from the TG Company to stay with you tonight. If you need anything, tell them.â
âItâs fine, I can handle it alone.â
âTheyâre here to help you. If you donât use them, they might lose their jobs.â
Alice was surprised. âBut arenât they part of the TG Company?â
Why would they lose their jobs because of her?
âWhen they initially came to the hospital to bother you, they were already fired. The only reason theyâre still at the TG Company is because theyâre required to stay with you.â
Jackâs tone was matterâofâfact.
Alice frowned.âI want to hire them myself.â
She understood that wealthy families typically had private assistant teams to manage daily necessities like meals, clothing, and lodging, and even had specialized PR teams.
But since she and Jack werenât married, why should she accept his arrangement of a private assistant team?
It seemed a bit odd.
Jack gathered the lunchbox.âOkay.â
Alice glanced at his back.âHey, howâs your grandmother?â
âAre you worried about her?â
Jack shifted.âIâll visit her with you tomorrow. Donât fret; Iâve told her about you.â
âReally, you mentioned me?â
Aliceâs pulse quickened.âWhat exactly did you say?â
âJust that I like a girl.â
His casual words broke through Aliceâs guard.
âAlice, despite hiding my identity, I truly care about you.â
Aliceâs heart skipped a beat, her face staying calm, but internally, she felt a surge of emotions.
She had guessed earlier that Jackâs secrecy indicated he was cautious around her. While with the Welch family, she saw rich men date girls from regular backgrounds. She understood their mindset.
Though the Welch family was rich, next to the Wilson family, they seemed ordinary. She was truly upset that Jack hid his identity, feeling disrespected.
Actually, she was beginning to doubt herself in love.
The wealth difference between the Wilson family and the Welch family was huge. That was the reason why she lacked confidence.
âGoodnight.â
After Jack left, he shut the hospital door.
