Chapter 853 Don’t Want to Hear Her Name
Trapped in Love
Alex brought the USB drive and headed to Wild Sides with Lucas at night.
Lucas remarked on how Alex seemed like an old man who had experienced lifeâs hardships in just a few days. He couldnât bear to see Alexâs stubble and expressed concern about Paigeâs situation.
âAlex, I know Paigeâs condition saddens you, but you canât do this to yourself,â Lucas said, grabbing Alexâs arm.
Alex was mentally exhausted and gazed out the window blankly. âDonât speak anymore.â
âNo, you have to tell me what I should do after meeting Azure. I still find it hard to believe that Azure would actually do that to Paige,â Lucas insisted.
Still overwhelmed, Alex said, âItâs not just you. I donât believe it either.â
Lucas sighed. âTell me about your plan. Paige is a nice person, and I would like to help both of you.â
Alex hesitated. âI still donât know what to do yet. Letâs play it by ear and check my text messages later.â
âSure,â Lucas agreed.
The waiting staff led Alex and Lucas to their private room in Wild Sides before bringing in the wine.
Azure arrived in less than 10 minutes. She felt her heart ache to see the disheveled Alex on the sofa.
Azure wondered, âIs Paige so important to Alex? Or was he only interested in the child she was carrying?â
Lucas noticed Azure and stood up to greet her, âYouâre here, Fatty Azzie!â
Azure smiled. âHello, Lucas.â
âHehe, youâve become more like a lady these days. Youâre pretty, Fatty Azzie!â Lucas commented, checking her out, Azure smiled, glanced at Alex, and feigned cluelessness. âWhatâs going on with Alex?â
Lucas pretended to sigh. âWhat else can it be? Heâs sad because he doesnât have a girlfriend. Go and talk to him.â
Azure nodded and walked toward Alex. As she prepared to sit next to him, Alex looked up at her, staring with his brown, lonely eyes. âAzure, are all women the same?â
Confused, Azure replied, âI donât understand what youâre talking about, Alex.â
âForget it. Thereâs no point talking about it.â Alex sat upright and poured himself a glass of wine.
Azure was aware of the situation between Alex and Paige but pretended she didnât. âWhy isnât Paige here, Alex?â
Alex felt his heart ache when Paige was mentioned. Clutching the glass tightly, he couldnât imagine how tormented she was right now. âIf this is all caused by Azure, Iâm going to kill her for sure!â
Alex glared at Azure and snapped, âDonât talk to me about that bitch! I donât want to hear her name!â
Azure trembled uncontrollably, seeing Alex lose his temper for the first time.
Lucas stepped in to mediate. âFatty Azzie, donât talk about that woman in Alexâs presence. Sheâs no good for him. Do you know that she has actually contracted AIDS and aborted her baby by lying to Alex that the baby has some sort of health condition?
Lucas expressed his dissatisfaction with Paige, âTell me, isnât she despicable? I told Alex not to be with a woman who frequents bars. Why would he fall for that kind of person when he can have such an amazing woman like you?â
Shocked, Azure countered, âPaige looks like a good girl, not like that kind of person at all.â
Lucas retorted, âHow would I know-â
