"I..."
To be honest, seeing Alexander Johnson in this smugly fit state really made Chloe Simpson want to punch him.
But there was no choice but to bow under the eaves. She couldn’t struggle against him now, so she had to give in.
"Honey."
Finally, she reluctantly called out.
Alexander continued, "What did you just call ? I didn’t hear it, your voice was too soft."
And so, after going back and forth several tis.
Chloe finally got a little angry, "Alexander Johnson, look at yourself right now. Do you think you resemble a Duke Capital Circle? You’re so high and mighty, how can you make things so difficult for ? Especially on such matters. I’m just a tired, weak woman, and you’ve been tornting like this. What kind of man are you?"
Initially, Alexander had indeed planned to let Chloe off, but then she dropped this line, "What kind of man are you?"
He was really!
"Then I must show you whether I’m a man or not!"
Alexander scooped her out of the bathtub and carried her to the bed.
To be honest, it was in these monts that Alexander was most frightening.
It was like in the animal kingdom, a naturally regal male whose vulnerable spot had been hit, whose leadership was questioned.
Chloe saw that Alexander was angry now; at this mont, he was suppressing the fire within him, seemingly about to explode at any second.
If it did explode, the consequences would undoubtedly be very, very severe.
Based on everything she had just experienced, Chloe could already imagine she might be unable to get out of bed for three days and three nights.
"I was wrong, Alexander, can you please let go? I really can’t do this anymore, I’m really exhausted, you just about drove to death."
"Honey, I was wrong, please let go."
"Sweetheart, as long as you let go today, I’m willing to do anything you want."
...
Chloe went through every term of endearnt, saying countless sweet words.
Until, at last, she said, "Can you not do this now, can you let rest for a bit, even if it’s until tomorrow?"
"Alright, tomorrow."
Alexander nodded in agreent, finally softening up and letting her go.
"..."
Chloe was stunned by this statent.
She really wanted to retort.
Excuse , our Crown Prince of Capital Circle, are you really that desperate for won?
Went on for so long today, barely done, and you plan to continue tomorrow morning.
Isn’t there a saying, only exhausted oxen, not worn-out fields?
How co this ox can’t be exhausted?
But that’s okay, perhaps this ox just hasn’t felt the fatigue yet; give it ti and it surely will.
She simply couldn’t believe he could last a day, last two days, let alone a whole month.
Or was he dreaming of being like an ancient emperor with a harem of three thousand, expiring from overexertion?
All these thoughts brewed in Chloe’s mind.
They were all grievances she kept to herself, didn’t dare voice them out loud. If she said anything, this man might just do sothing to her again.
She really couldn’t take it anymore.
"Okay, let’s sleep then."
Yet this man, full of energy and spirit, said this, put on his clothes, picked up his phone, and left.
"You..."
Chloe couldn’t hold it in and instinctively spoke out.
"I’ve been in the hospital for so long and haven’t gone to the office. There’s still so work to take care of. Can’t bear to see go?"
Alexander halted, turned back to look at Chloe.
"..."
Chloe didn’t say a word, vigorously shook her head.
Then she pulled up the blanket and covered her head.
"Good then."
Alexander smirked proudly, then turned and left.
After he entered the study, he stared at the phone screen for a long ti before unlocking it.
While ssing around with Chloe earlier, he had noticed his phone light up.
It wasn’t a call but a text ssage.
That phone number was one he hoped never to see again in his lifeti.
He kept his gaze fixed on the phone screen, finally opening the ssage.
After reading it, he took a deep breath.
At last, it had co to this point.
He had long anticipated this mont, but now, thinking of Chloe, he honestly felt so unease.
However, having spent so long in the hospital, nearly dying, he had to act, couldn’t wait any longer. Who knew what might happen if he delayed?
"Jack Woods, go through all the preparations thoroughly once again, and if there are no issues, proceed."
"What? Eldest Young Master, are you sure about doing it now? Miss Simpson, she..."
