As she spoke, tears stread down Anna’s face, extrely aggrieved. Alex frowned, feeling a hint of helplessness in his heart. Seeing that Alex didn’t respond, Anna continued, "Brother Alex, even if we don’t have that paper marriage contract, am I not worthy of standing by your side?"
"We’re both not young anymore, and in this city, I’m the most suitable candidate to be your wife."
Hearing this, Alex’s brow furrowed, and after a long silence, he slowly uttered three words, "Stop it."
As soon as these three words were spoken, it was as if they had struck the softest spot in Anna’s heart.
"How am I causing trouble? I just want to get along with you well!" Anna’s eyes turned red, tears streaming down her face.
"But I don’t like you," Alex said.
Hearing this, Anna’s tears instantly fell like broken pearls, pattering on the floor. She trembled, her lips quivering as she looked up at Alex with tearful eyes, pitiful and helpless.
"Brother Alex, if you don’t even like , will you still like soone else?"
This sentence hit Alex’s heart instantly. In his mind, Claire’s figure appeared unconsciously. However, she was a married woman and even had a son.
Alex pressed his forehead and forced himself not to think about her anymore. With a hint of annoyance in his eyes, he looked at Anna and said, "Just tell if you have sothing to say."
Anna’s eyes lit up imdiately. She understood that Alex had compromised. Seeing this, Anna quickly seized the opportunity and said, "Brother Alex, let’s have dinner together after work tonight."
In the evening.
Claire finished her work and picked up her bag to leave the clinic. Outside the Western dical Clinic, a cool sports car was parked there. But it wasn’t the familiar red one that Claire knew. A handso blond man was sitting in the driver’s seat, attracting a lot of attention.
Seeing Claire co out, he imdiately smiled and waved at her, shouting, "Claire, over here!"
Upon hearing the voice, Leander also poked his head out of the passenger seat, holding two chubby little arms high and calling out, "Mommy, Leander is here!"
Seeing the two of them, Claire couldn’t help but laugh. She took a few steps and sat in the passenger seat, holding Leander in her arms.
"Nelson? What brings you here?"
Nelson leaned against the car window, one hand on the steering wheel, teasing, "Little devil Leander insisted on seeing you, so I had to play chauffeur."
Claire laughed lightly, pinching her son’s chubby face and smiling, "Leander, you’re not behaving. Did you cause trouble for Uncle Nelson again?"
Leander imdiately pouted, looking at Nelson with a pitiful expression and said, "Uncle Nelson is not fair. He clearly wants to see Mommy, but he makes Leander take the bla..."
His voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of the two adults. Nelson’s face flushed slightly, sitting up straight with a nervous look on his face.
He held the steering wheel and looked at Claire nervously, saying, "It’s rare for to see you and your son together. Why don’t we eat out tonight? I’ll treat."
Nelson added.
Leander imdiately clapped his chubby hands and excitedly agreed, "Okay, okay!"
Claire hesitated for a mont, then finally agreed, "Okay, Leander and I will follow your arrangents."
Upon hearing this, Nelson breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his head and gave Leander a signal, saying, "Leaner, let’s go!"
"Yeah!" Leander exclaid excitedly, twisting his chubby little body. Watching the innocent and pure appearance of the child, Claire smiled lightly. Inside the car, the atmosphere was harmonious. After a while, the car arrived in the city and finally stopped in front of a restaurant called " Eat Avenue Restaurant"
Claire took Leander’s little hand and got out of the car, walking into the restaurant. At this mont, Leander ran towards the side without looking back and said, "Mom, I’m going to the bathroom first."
"Okay, be careful." Claire watched Leander’s eager little figure and hurriedly reminded him. After watching Leander entered the bathroom, Claire turned around and walked towards the window. At this ti, Nelson also parked the car and searched for Claire’s figure with his eyes, finally seeing her. He hurriedly caught up with her with a few quick steps.
Suddenly, Claire stopped, standing still in place, Nelson didn’t pay attention and almost bumped into her. He instinctively held onto Claire’s shoulder and said with a mournful tone, "Why did you suddenly stop?"
Claire did not answer, her eyes staring blankly ahead. Nelson was stunned and followed her gaze. Then, his figure also froze, "Alex?" Not far away, Alex and Anna stood intimately together. As if sensing their gaze, Alex turned around. When he saw Claire, he instinctively pulled his arm out of Anna’s embrace.
But when he saw Nelson’s hand on Claire’s shoulder, his expression imdiately darkened. Anna stumbled as her arm was pulled away, and she looked at Alex in surprise. He was looking at a distance with a complicated expression, so she turned her head to see what he was looking at.
At the sight of Claire, Anna was filled with animosity. She hugged Alex’s arm and coquettishly said, "Alex, what are you looking at? Let’s go inside, the food has already been ordered and it will get cold soon."
However, Alex remained motionless, his gaze still fixed on Claire He pulled his arm away again and approached her, whispering, "Is this your husband?"
Upon hearing this, both Claire and Nelson were taken aback. Then, Nelson realized his current behavior and instinctively wanted to retract his arm.
However, Claire leaned into his embrace and said, "Yes, "
Nelson was a little helpless, but he had to play the role of her husband. He looked at Alex and said,
"Mr. Miller, what a coincidence, you’re also here for dinner?"
Then, he looked behind Alex and whispered, "It seems that Mr. Miller already has a beautiful companion with him. Since that’s the case, I won’t invite you anymore. Next ti, l will invite you to have a al together."
After hearing this, Alex’s face turned extrely ugly. But what else could he do? Alex pursed his lips and
turned away without saying a word.
Watching Alex’s gloomy figure, Nelson felt secretly pleased. Just as she was feeling proud, the arm that was resting on Claire’s shoulder was ruthlessly thrown off.
"We’ve ordered, let’s go ho after we finish eating." Claire said calmly, her face calm and unruffled.
But Nelson keenly sensed that this woman was in a bad mood. He pulled up a chair and sat down with great interest, looking at her and saying,
"Are you jealous? It must be hard to see your husband being held by another woman, isn’t it?" Claire’s beautiful eyes narrowed, and her pretty little face imdiately drooped. If you’re not going to eat, forget it, let’s go ho and cook."
After speaking, Claire stood up and was about to leave. Seeing this, Nelson quickly grabbed her and said with a light smile:
"I was just joking. Sit down, today’s al isn’t for you, it’s for all of us. Co on, let’s order."
At the sa ti, Leander’s small figure walked out of the bathroom. He noticed Alex, who was about to enter the private room, and his eyes lit up.
He ran over quickly, shouting, "Daddy, are you here to have a big al too!" Upon hearing a familiar voice, Alex stopped in his tracks. Seeing Leander running towards him unsteadily, he quickly squatted down and picked him up.
"You ran so fast, it’s dangerous," he said in a harsh tone, but with a hint of unnoticed indulgence. Behind him, Anna looked surprised at the little boy in Alex’s arms. She quickly approached and pointed at Claire, asking, "This? Your son?"
"Alex, this, this child...?!" Anna asked in shock.
Alex cleared his throat and put Leander down, saying, "He’s my godson."
Then he looked at Leander and asked "Did you co here by yourself? Do you want to eat with ?"
Leander’s eyes flickered, but he still shook his head resolutely and said, "My mom is waiting for , I have to go quickly."
Alex nodded and turned to Anna, who was still in shock. "Stop staring and let’s finish eating. I have things to do."
Anna quickly regained her composure and smiled, "Okay, let’s go inside."
Inside the private room, Alex ate his steak in silence. Anna couldn’t help but ask cautiously, "Alex, what’s the na of that little boy?"
Alex paused and looked up with a cold gaze, "Why do you ask?"
Anna’s heart skipped a beat and she stiffly smiled, "I, l just thought..."
"He looks a lot like you," she said. "Could he be a relative of yours or sothing?" she wondered.
Alex lowered his head and spat out two words in a cold voice,
"He’s not."
"His surna is Smith," she added.
Buzz.
Anna felt her mind goes blank. Judging by the child’s appearance, he was only about Five years old.
According to the tiline, wasn’t this
Alex and Claire’s child?!
