Chapter 201
No.1
He nodded at Evelyn before swiping into his own apartment.
His parting words—"Pathetic clinginess"—drifted clearly to their ears.
Alexander's temper ignited.
Him? Clingy?
He was Evelyn's lawful husband!
What was Julian?
Not even qualified to be the other man!
No.2
Evelyn seized the chance to slip inside.
Alexander could've stopped her.
But fearing she might fall, he hesitated for one fatal second.
The door slammed shut.
Storm clouds gathered over his face as he descended.
Nathan Carter and Ethan Miller shuddered in unison at his expression.
"Lord Alex—"
No.3
Alexander bit out, "What worthless guides did you find?"
Those so-called dating manuals were utterly useless!
Nathan tremblingly produced another book. "Maybe... try this one?"
Alexander: "And if it fails?"
Nathan looked ready to cry. "Then Ethan and I stay single forever?"
Ethan blinked. Why was he dragged into this?
Late at night, Evelyn peeked through the peephole.
No.4
The hallway stood empty.
She exhaled in relief—only to worry about avoiding Julian tomorrow.
Yet when she opened her door next morning, she nearly tripped over the man sprawled across her threshold.
"Sleep well, Evelyn?" Alexander sat up from his makeshift bed.
Evelyn gaped. "Have you lost your mind?!"
He'd actually slept outside her door all night?
"Naturally." Alexander stood, wheeling his suitcase inside with brazen confidence.
No.5
Evelyn bristled. "What are you doing?"
"Moving in with my wife." He pulled out toiletries and headed straight for the bathroom.
"Get out!" she snapped.
After rinsing, Alexander planted a kiss on her cheek. "What was that?"
Evelyn trembled with rage.
Alexander would always be her nightmare!
Worse, before she could react, he'd already dragged his bedding inside, arranging it on the sofa.
No.6
"Your hallway's too hard. Much comfier here." He stretched out contentedly.
Evelyn eyed his legs dangling off the couch. "How can you sleep like that?"
"True." Alexander suddenly rose, gathering his blankets. He stole another kiss. "My wife cares after all. I'll take the bedroom then."
Evelyn: "?"
She stood stunned.
What had gotten into Alexander?
Since when did he have this level of audacity?
No.7
"Not going to work?" Seeing her frozen by the door, Alexander propped himself up. "Can't bear to leave me alone? Worried I'll spiral unemployed?"
Evelyn: "In your dreams!"
She stormed out.
Fine. She'd sleep on the sofa from now on!
Horizon Media's entertainment department buzzed unusually today.
Rumors spread like wildfire—Isabella Winslow was pregnant before marriage.
Accompanying them were leaked photos from her supposed engagement to Alexander.
