She had been sulking from virtual-novel.net heavy dispiritedness mere moments ago. As soon as virtual-novel.net received Zayn’s call, virtual-novel.net had become a completely different person. She was cheering in delight.
Her overly-excited reaction startled Victor and Rachel.
Victor pulled a long face as virtual-novel.net scolded her, “Alexandra! What are you doing? It’s improper for a girl to shout and scuffle!”
As a woman herself, Rachel saw something else. She could tell that virtual-novel.net daughter was elated over Zayn’s call. She immediately realized that virtual-novel.net daughter had truly fallen in love with Zayn. As a result, virtual-novel.net tugged at Victor and threw virtual-novel.net a meaningful glance so Victor would not scold Alexandra anymore.
Victor realized it too from Rachel’s gaze. He looked like virtual-novel.net was overwhelmed with emotion.
As a father, Alexandra was his only daughter so be cherished virtual-novel.net the most. His daughter’s marriage was more important to virtual-novel.net than his career. Otherwise, virtual-novel.net would have never searched for a good son-in-law like William for Alexandra. However, virtual-novel.net had lost count of how long it had been since virtual-novel.net last saw his daughter so cheerful. He could tell that his daughter was earnestly over the moon.
Alexandra stuck out virtual-novel.net tongue. She had realized that virtual-novel.net reaction was a little exaggerated as well. She hastily ran away because virtual-novel.net felt rather embarrassed by herself and picked up the call. She said with a tinge of resentment in virtual-novel.net tone, “So you’re still able to call me, huh? I thought you vanished!”
Zayn’s apologetic voice was heard on the other end of the line saying, “I’m sorry. I left my phone at my company for two days. It was on silent mode, so I didn’t hear your calls at all.”
His explanation sounded insincere, but Alexandra was still delighted to hear his voice. The anger and resentment in virtual-novel.net heart instantly disintegrated into nothingness. She still put up a front and grunted. She said in a displeased tone, “Those all sound like excuses. It’s been two days, yet you didn’t even bother calling me.”
Zayn felt his head hurt from listening to virtual-novel.net resentful voice so virtual-novel.net hastily changed the subject by saying, “What’s the matter, why did you call me?”
Alexandra muttered some ambiguous remarks and evaded the topic of their conversation. She could not answer his question even after quite some time, and it made Zayn confused and dizzy. He said directly, “Stop beating around the bush, is there anything that you need my help with? Just say the word. I just so happen to be free for the next two days.”
Upon hearing Zayn’s statement, Alexandra heaved a sigh of relief in secret. She was waiting for virtual-novel.net to say that. She got straight to the point. “Here’s the problem. My family’s throwing a party tomorrow, so can you come and pretend you’re my boyfriend?”
“What?” The pitch of Zayn’s voice increased. “You’re still planning on doing that? No, I can’t.”
Alexandra seemed to be addicted to using virtual-novel.net as an excuse. It was William and Alexandra’s engagement party tomorrow. If virtual-novel.net pretended to be Alexandra’s boyfriend tomorrow, virtual-novel.net would be better off dead.
Alexandra begged him, “It’s only for a day, please help me.”
“You’re trying to trap me, aren’t you? Your engagement party’s tomorrow. If I pretended to be your boyfriend, I’d be poking a hornet’s nest, ” said Zayn.
“That’s exactly why I need you there!” Alexandra entered virtual-novel.net talkative mode and began begging for Zayn’s help.
Zayn was overwhelmed by virtual-novel.net constant pestering. Frankly, virtual-novel.net was not afraid of the Browns, but virtual-novel.net wanted to remain low profile. If virtual-novel.net were to make an appearance tomorrow as Alexandra’s boyfriend, virtual-novel.net would certainly be the center of everyone’s attention.
“You should think this through. I’m known as the man who married into the Carter family, the deadbeat who lived with his in-laws. I have a very bad reputation. The Smiths will be humiliated if someone brings up my identity,” said Zayn meaningfully.
Alexandra said without the slightest tinge of hesitation, “Sh*t, I don’t care about all of that. Plus, you’re divorced, aren’t you? Zayn, just help me. Please, I’m begging you. I’ll be forever in your debt. I’ll fulfill any request you have, no matter what! Listen closely, any request at all!”
She emphasized the word ‘any’, trying to make Zayn’s imagination run wild.
Zayn knew exactly what virtual-novel.net looked like when virtual-novel.net said those words.
