I WANT TO MAKE A DEAL WITH YOU
Ophelia seemed to be clingy to him.She followed him everywhere, like a shadow. It was not until the day before the wedding that Alan sent her back to her parents' home that they finally separated. Xenia thought the opportunity was coming. She followed his car a long way. He seemed to wander aimlessly on the street. At a quiet intersection, she stepped on the gas pedal and rushed to the front of the car to block his car.
Alan was a good driver. He stopped within a centimetre of her car. He was no stranger to her face, and when she got out of the car, the window of his car was opened,"Mrs. Boswell, what do you mean?”
He seemed extremely unhappy, his face was cold like frost.
"I'm looking for you to make a deal." She came straight to the point and didn't want to talk nonsense.
"Not interested in that," Alan said coldly, driving the car backwards.
"What about Olive?"
The car suddenly stopped, quietly parked,black like a cloud with rage.
But her bet was right.
As soon as she got into his car, she rummaged all over.
Alan frowned,"What are you doing?"
"See if your car has a bug or something."Xenia played bumb.She didn’t know whether he trusted Ophelia or not.
“What do you mean?”
Alan's face was so bad,but his interest was successfully hoisted by her, so it seemed to be hopeful.
“Your fiancee was so great.She can even turn your own daughter into a non-blood relation. If she knows that I meet you, she will definitely retaliate against me and pick on Olive."
Before she could finish her sentence, he seized her pretended searching hand.
The man's hands were not hands but iron tongs, and she could not pull her hand out.She was in pain like a broken bone and pale.
“Loosen me!”
"What do you know?" Alan could't suppress the sound of his heartbeat.Is this just every cloud has a silver lining?
To be on the safe side and in case someone perpetrated a fraud,before the paternity test he secretly sent another test under the name of Dave. But the results disappointed him.
The two reports were about the same and came to the same conclusion. He truly believed that the child was not his, but he still couldn't dispel his doubts about Olive.
Did Dave betray him?
It was impossiable.He would not judge people wrong.But he did misjudge Ophelia,didn’t him?
Xenia looked at his face which seemed to eat someone. His hand on her wrist was getting tighter. She could even hear the crack in her knuckles. The man was so horrible.
But on the other hand, she couldn't help thinking that Olive wasn't the only one still loved.Then it would be much easier. At least he would listen to what she said.
"Your grip almost killed me.How can I talk to you well?"
"Don't play tricks with me."Alan let go of her and found himself overreacting.
Xenia rubbed her wrist where he gripped, and the fingerprints were clearly visible one by one. What a man who didn't know how to cherish love. She told him all she had heard that evening.
From beginning to end he did not say anything, but the face was getting colder and colder, as if a layer of ten thousand years of ice.
Xenia was parched with speaking, and after a long pause, he didn't respond.She poked him carefully with her finger. "Hey, what are you thinking?Why no response."
"Anything else?"His voice had suddenly grown hoarse,his emotions of restraining still revealed a little.
"That's all I know. If you want to know more, ask Olive. But I warn you not to hurt her any more. She is a good person, and all her family are."
Alan smiled coldly. Yes, she was really a good person, she did all the good things by herself.It was so noble and great, but let him become a unfaithful lover.
He really wanted to fly over to ask her. Five years ago, she felt that he could not protect her and left him.It was excusable. But why could't she believe his ability after five years and suffered so much alone? In her eyes, was he just a loser who lived off women?
“Why you tell me this?"
"As I said, I want to make a deal with you.You won’t kick the ladder,will you?”She perturbed and didn’t know what the man was thinking.
"You want me to help your brother,right?" Alan’s fingers knocked on the steering wheel slightly,he knew the situation of family Boswell.
"How clever of you,guess right."Xenia could not help feeling a little worship for him, but her was still uneasy, waiting for his reply.
"It’s not the only reason you tell me this,right?" NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Xenia didn’t hide, "Yes, also for myself. The man I like likes your woman.But she still loves you.If you two are together,my chances of pursuing a man I like are a bit biger. Even though we won’t be together, at least I tried."
His woman,Alan smiled slightly.This two words were pleasure to his ear,“OK”
