I definitely did not expect that to be the reason Alex was looking for me, so 1 froze for a moment and stayed that way until Alex turned his head to look at me.
Traised my head to look back at his in a dare. His expression was calm and devoid of any emotions.
Maybe Alex’s offer to let me stay at his place was because he was worried that if anything were to happen to the, it might cause him trouble. After all, time was very valuable to someone as busy and important as Alex. He wouldn’t have the time to keep dealing with my trivial issues,
But still shook my head. “There’s no need. I’ll just be more careful when I commute to work.
For a fleeting moment, there seemed to be a glint of suppressed disappointment in Alex’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He composed himself before I could even confirm what I
“Why don’t you go back to the Hastings residence anymore?” tied my head slightly as I looked at him.
“I don’t want to.” Als seemed irritated artet 1 rejected him.
It made seme. Alex was someone who the entire business world needed to be wary of Yet an insignificant nobody like me actually dared to reject him.
The Hastings residence was very close to his company, but he chose to live alone rather than retum there. Clearly, there was someone there he didn’t want to meet.
Taking a dog breath 1 mustered up the courage to say, “Mr. Hastings Senior wasn’t the only person at fault for what happened back then. If you keep this up, you’ll only make him sad. I’m about to graduate. Once 1 graduate and get a stable job, rll bring my mother away from the Hastings residence.”

Alex lit a cigarette. He took a deep drag before exhaling a cloud of white smoke. His head was tilted slightly, making his face look almost unimaginably handsome.
“Then why won’t you go back to the Hastings residence?” he asked.
“L” look had momentarily entranced me.
In a date, I blurted out the truth, “Because I don’t belong in that place,
Alex fell silent again lowered my gase, feeling a little sad. I didn’t belong in that house at all. I didn’t ewn belong in Alex’s world.
The situation right now was just a case of us returning to where we both belonged.
A trace of douse flickered in Alex’s eyes. “You When you went back to visit your mom, did you meet my dad?”
I was taken aback for a moment before I silently apologized to Mr. Hastings Sentor in my heart. I didn’t want to sell him out, but Alex was just too smart. He figured it out instantly. “Dad my dad ask you to persuade Alex asked as he took another drag from his cigarette,
