Sextuplets From Ruthless Love novel Chapter 129

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 didn't know what else she could say as she couldn't force herself to fall in love with Alfred.

Although she had tried doing so several times in the past three years, she still couldn't bring herself to fall in love with him.

"You know that's not what I want, Jessica."

Alfred turned to look at her. He'd do anything for her in exchange for just a spare of her glance.

For the past few days, he had already started handling the Whiteburn family's business matters.

In order to become someone who was capable of defeating Trevor, he had sacrificed his sleep and worked overtime in the company. He did all that for her sake.
