He casually handed the hair dryer to me and said, “Edwina, I won't bother you anymore. You'll hurt my hair if you touch me. My wife is much better at serving people than you are!”
Wife?
No matter who looked at it, Edwina looked like his wife there.
I avoided him and stood up quickly as I refused, “I'm busy, I'm leaving now.”
He grabbed my wrist, looking a little unhappy and ordered, “Give me some face, ok?”
“Face?” I sneered, “Alec, she was pregnant with your child, you packed your bags and moved into her house and now you want me to give you face? When you three were having fun together, did you ever consider my feelings?”
Edwina smiled and pulled Alec away, winking at me.
“Kimberley, I really treat Alec as a brother. That's just my personality, I'm used to being carefree, don't take it to heart,” she explained, “He's here to take care of the baby. We're just buddies.
“Nothing will go wrong if we sleep in the same bed. Our siblinghood is there.”
As she spoke, she suddenly hooked Alec's little finger and shook it.
“Why don't you go back with Kimberley? I can handle it by myself. This little thing won't be a problem for me.
“I don't care. When the child is born, you just need to be a father.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly covered her mouth and began to retch.
Alec immediately rushed to get a trash can, patted her on the back with one hand and turned to glare at me.
“Kimberley, what do you want? Didn't we agree on this at home?” Alec yelled at me.
My chest felt tight, so I turned around and walked out the door.
As soon as I reached the elevator, my wrist was suddenly grabbed hard.
Alec held my wrist tightly, his brows furrowed as he explained, “I've already explained that Edwina is my sibling! She just wants to give birth to the baby safely.
“Think about it, if this happened in ancient times, I would have to be responsible for Edwina and marry her. You should be thankful now that Edwina never wanted to marry me!
“She is an illegitimate daughter of the Frey Family and she has such a broad mind. As the eldest daughter of the Valencia Family and the future heir of the Valencia Family, you only have this much tolerance?”
I looked up at him, my voice trembling uncontrollably, “Alec, what era is it now? Are you still talking about the ancient times? What does this have to do with your character and temperament?”
Tears welled up in my eyes, I gritted my teeth and said, “You are a top student in the Department of Finance and a famous Investment Consultant in this town. I can't argue with you…."
After a pause, I lowered my head and said dejectedly, “Let's break up.”
Tears fell on the back of my hand, one after another.
Alec was obviously stunned and he loosened his grip on me, somewhat helplessly as he said, “Well, I'll take care of Edwina three days a week and go home the remaining four days, okay?”
As he spoke, he emphasized, “Kimberley, this is my last compromise, don't push it any further!”
I took a deep breath, suppressed my surging emotions and said calmly, “Don't bother with that. After we break up, you can spend every day with her, just don't waste your time with me.”
He stared at me and gave me a final warning, “Are you sure?”
I turned my face away from him and raised my hand to press the elevator button.
He suddenly sneered and pushed me hard, “Okay, if that's what you want!”
I was pushed back unexpectedly, my back hit the wall hard and I gasped in pain.
Alec glanced at me with disdain, turned around and was about to walk back.
Edwina stood at the door and deliberately raised her voice, “Alec, can't you just talk to her nicely? Girls are cute when they are a little bit petty. You have to coax them and not yell at them. Do you understand, brother?”
