After staring at her intently, Alex reached his hand out, touching her soft and smooth face.
Waltz smiled sweetly and her eyes curved into two beautiful crescent moons as though she was ready
to welcome Alexâs lips on hers.
However, Alex spoke up, âI know that youâre trying to comfort me, to help me feel better. To be honest,
youâre worrying too much. Iâve managed to pull through worse, furthermore this isnât a big deal at all.â
âIâm actually relieved that Iâm not related to the Rockefellers. I wouldnât have to worry too much when I
need to fightback.â
âBut, being stabbed by your family in the back is the most unacceptable thing, isnât it?â
Waltz nodded gently.
Their eyes met again. The atmosphere between the two gradually became ambivalent as their gazes
turned hot and seductive. Waltz leaned closer to Alex, puckering up her lips.
Suddenly, Alex started pinching her with the hand that he placed on her face. Puzzled, he asked, âWhat
are you doing? Youâre just my slave. Are you trying to take advantage and seduce your master?â
âOw, that hurts!â
âAs you should.â
Alex smiled and let her go. He sat on the sofa and unboxed a phone. He had just bought it a while ago,
since his old phone was busted after falling into the river last night.
After inputting his sim card and turning on the phone, a call came in. At first glance, it was a call from
Dorothy.
Alex was overjoyed. Ever since Cherylâs prank that day, Dorothy had been giving him the cold shoulder
by ignoring his calls for quite a few days. Now that sheâs calling, Alex felt like he still had a chance to
reconcile with her.
He picked up the call immediately. âDorothy!â
However, all he heard was Dorothyâs crying.
Alex was shocked. âWhat happened? Did someone bully you? Tell me, Iâll stand up for you.â
Waltz approached Alex on tiptoe and was about to lean against his back so that she could hear their
conversation too. However, Alex was taken aback Dorothy was already quite jealous after hearing
Cherylâs voice last time. If Waltz were to do the same now, Dorothy might actually divorce him.
On the other side of the phone, Dorothy sobbed uncontrollably. âAre you okay? Did you get hurt? I saw
the news that your car fell into the river. What happened?â
Alex froze as he did not expect that his car had been dragged out of the river in such a short time, let
alone ended up on the news.
So, he immediately explained, âIâm alright. My car was stolen. F*ck whoever the bastard thief, how dare
they steal my car and drive it into the river⦠Donât cry, oh donât cry please. Where are you? Iâll head
over right now.â
âIâm at home.â
âOkay, wait for me!â
After hanging up the phone, only then did Alex push away Waltz. He wanted to give her a small lecture
about her actions earlier, but he seemed to enjoy those touch sensations.
Waltz, on the other hand, had a stern expression plastered on her face. âSo it really was you who fell
into the river last night?â
Alex rubbed his nose. âIt was just a small accident.â
âWho did it? Iâll avenge you.â
âYou already did. It was that bald guy a while ago.â
After that, Alex stood up and prepared to head to Assex Villa.
Waltz seemed slightly upset and said, âWhy are you going over to the Assexes? Why would you want a
wife like Dorothy anyway? She wouldnât even let you sleep
with her! Sheâs just a dog in the manger who keeps hogging you! Why donât you just divorce her and
marry me instead? Iâll do whatever you want me to, I can do it in many different positions too! Do you
want to try that?â
Just as Waltz was about to crawl up to him, Alex could feel himself losing restraint. Hence, he
immediately stopped her and said, âTake care of my mom, Iâll be off now.â
âHmph, you are lecherous but you donât have the courage to do it!â
In just a few moments, he reached Assex Villa.
Upon entering the villa, he realized that only Claire and Beatrice were in the living room but Dorothy
was nowhere to be seen.
Beatrice had seen Alex last night and saw that he was with the little devil from the Yowell family. That
was quite a shocker to her. Hence, she felt surreal, seeing him arrive at their doorstep at this moment.
Claire, on the other hand, started acting like a maniac as she jumped out of her seat. âWhy are you in
my house, you useless piece of sh*t? Are you here because youâre starved and trying to beg us for
food? Keep on dreaming! We donât have anything for you!â
Alex paid no attention to her harsh words. âDonât worry, Iâm not going to eat any of your food. Iâm here
for Dorothy.â
Claire took one of her slippers off and threw it at Alex. âYou wonât get anything from Dorothy either. Get
lost! Your face annoys me too much!â
