“Daddy, what did mommy say? Did she accept you?” As expected, once he picks up the mobile, there comes the voice of Ben. With anxiety in his tone, it sounds Ben is tense about this thing.
“Your mommy…” Alex chocks when he saying this and doesn’t know how to continue. He has let his son down. Well, Alex, you finally has one day like this.
The hand Ben holds the mobile become tightly, his face look pale. Did mommy turn daddy down? If mommy has accepted him, daddy would not feel hard to say it.
“Daddy, It doesn’t matter for the first refusal. You can try again. Believe yourself. We’ll stand by your side.” Ben encourages him, but starts to worry. Has mommy chosen Uncle Adam? Won’t she take care of them in the future?
Joey grabs the mobile from Ben and put it next to her ear, says thrillingly,
“Daddy, Can you tell mommy that she still gets us. Let her think about it for us. How would she abandon us? We love her so much.” Joey says, eyes brimming with tears.
Alex clearly chocks again. Can it be? Miya has forgotten the things before. Will she care about the children? No, she won’t. If she still loves the children. Why will she marry Adam? So, she never care about these kids, except making her fall in love with him again, or else he’s doom to lose her.
After Miya has changed the clothes and comes out, she sees Alex is absorbed in meditation. He frowns. What happen to him?
Alex notices the eyes looking at him, lifting his head and standing up immediately, walking towards her. No matter how is the result, he’s going to fight for the last chance.
“Little Miya, please accept me.” After walking to the closest distance to Miya, he stares at her with affection.
Miya’s blue in the face. What happen to him? Didn’t she tell him she was going to marry soon? What does he want from me? Her eyes widen suddenly, looking at him transfixed.
Alex sees the woman in a trance, thinking he might be too rush. Those words might have been shocked her. Then he will explain to her slowly.
“See? I’m handsome and rich. Don’t you think I’m good enough for you?” Alex says with affection. A long time ago, once he brought up something, no one could resist him, same as the marriage.
She laughs out loud. It is the first time she has ever met a man who is so proud of himself. Is he handsome? Hmm… It looks like so, but he shouldn’t be so proud, though there is a touch of imperial trait on him.
Alex’s eyebrows knit in a frown. He didn’t expect this little woman would laugh at him. Suddenly he holds the hands of Miya, looking at her straightly, waiting for her reply.
“I’m not good enough for you. Is that okay?” Miya says unthinkingly. In fact, there was a moment she almost gave him a positive answer for his courting.
Alex holds her hand more tighter. She’s not only mocks at him, but also ruthlessly declines him. Is it the punishment for what he did to her before? Eventually he tastes the feeling of being declined. Does he really lose her?
At this moment, he’s afraid.
Miya suddenly feels the grasp on her wrist become strengthened. She seems feel the bad sign and would like withdraw her hand, but he grasps her more tighter.
“Let me go!” Miya obviously starts to complaint. Does this man think she will not strike back? Although she’s not his rivals, she can outwit the man.
Alex pulls a long face. Just the moment Miya reach out her hand, he looses his hand in a sudden.
There is a touch of surprise in her eyes. She watches Alex’s facial expression. She can’t see through him; she can’t read his mind.
“I love you!” Alex says in unexpectedly gentle voice, as Miya is wondering his response.
Miya is shocked again. Where did the cool and domineering man go? And where does this gentle lamb come from? Does this man has schizophrenia?
Miya composes herself, returning to her indifferent attitude to him.
“As a handsome man like you, I don’t believe you approach me just to love me. What’s your purpose? Do you also try to obtain my design drawing?”
She suddenly seems to recall something and says.
“Ah!” Alex smiles significantly, curling his lips with a touch of arrogance. She is naive. A man with purpose will tell her his goal?
Miya knits her brows with a frown. It seems that she’s unhappy with the smile of Alex. She’s like transparent in front of the man. His deep and dark eyes can see through her, making her has no place to hide.
“What do you laugh at?” there’s a touch of unhappiness in her clear eyes. Seemingly, the ironic smile of him makes her get angry.
“Laugh at your simple mind.” Alex tells her directly, glancing at her out of the corner of his eyes. Her temperament is better than yesterday. Is it because of her hairstyle altering or some other reasons?
Or because of Adam? Because of love? So she has changed the temperament?
She’s even more resentful now. Where can he see her simple mind? She’s smart! She had always been one of the best students in school. How can she be connected with simple?
“Really? How do you judge me simple? Please tell me.” How can he insult her for her declining to him?
“Really? How do you judge me simple-mined? Please tell me.” How can he insult her for her declining to him?
Actually Alex wants to hold Miya’s hands again, but he’s afraid that she will get angry, so he restrains himself. But the desire from his eyes is so strong, he really loves her. How can he let her feel that? Although she feels that, what can he do?
“There’s a reason for Adam to get close to you.” Alex says lightly, his deep eyes staring at her big eyes.
Miya smiles lightly, she knows Adam loves her, but the purpose for him to get close to her is to be with her. She knew that earlier.
“I know.” she says lightly, her black eyes staring at Alex without a blink.
Alex feels the twists ans swirls in his heart. This woman, how could she admit it and take it for granted. She knows there is a purpose for him getting close to her, but she’s still willing to be with him. Does she love him so much?
Alex doesn’t know how to calm down himself. He smiles a bit, trying to compose himself, staring at Miya.
“I know I am handsome, but not enough to fascinate you. ” Alex says again, with a wave of smile in his eyes. It seems he never mind Miya loving Adam but he aches, again and again.
Miya almost burst into laughter, she’s seen a narcissistic person, but not as narcissistic as he is. Would she fascinated to him? It’s a joke. Only the person is whom she loves can she be fascinated to him. Screw him! A phrase of a double meaning.
“Alex, you know I’m going to marry, so we’d better keep distance!” she suddenly doesn’t want to talk about this topic with. She’s going to marry, a sham marriage can’t not be recognized by Albert. So she can’t expose herself.
Alex smiles with bitterness. He knew that there would be one day like this, but he didn’t expect it would come so soon. He can barely do something. He can’t feel anything except pain now.
“Well, I know, but I want you get marry after you have remember those six years, or you will regret about it.” Yes, he wants her remember those years. Although she hated him during those six years, but she loved him, too. So this is his last chance.
Miya’s shocked a bit. Obviously she doesn’t expect Alex will bring up the six years. In fact, she has thought a lot these days. She thinks there might be a lot of things happen, maybe the most unforgettable things in her entire life. So she also wants to remember.
Although she remembers the things before, it will not affect her decision of marrying Adam. Although it is a sham marriage, she has to obey her promise to Adam. She can’t embarrass him.
“Okay. Can you tell me after I engage? The things we did before.” Miya says soberly, yet she’s excited inside. She can feel her heart to him. Once she hear the name of Alex, she has a wonderful feeling. So, she knows that she had a connection with Alex before.
“Do you really want to know?” Alex asks calmly, without any waves in his tone. Yet his eyes are filled with expectation. Yes, that’s a kind of expectation.
Miya looks at him straightly. Yes, she wants to know. If she doesn’t she won’t ask.
“Yes, I want to know.” ultimately she smiles and says. Her clear eyes stare at Alex, she seems to look for something from his face.
“Alright. I’ll tell you everything about us.” he says abruptly, with faint smiles around the corner of his mouth. No one knows what he’s thinking.
Miya is shocked. He did have history with her. Did she love him before? Perhaps, otherwise, she won’t be excited every time she hears his name.
That feeling is not everyone can gives.
