Alvera,the Revenger,Married the Billionaire novel Chapter 12

"Am I supposed to be an orphan? I guess so, since my mother passed away," Alvera shrugged. 

She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure you want to continue to talk to me in this position?"

Roland stared at her intently as she changed the subject.

"Where did your brother come from?" He asked.

"He's my half-brother from my father's side. We didn't live together, but his mother was nice to me, so we have a good relationship," she told him. "Do you like this answer, Mr. Francois?"

Roland replied disdainfully, "Your family's dynamic is too messy."

"Indeed, but it's not our fault that our father is a scumbag," Alvera agreed. "Can you get off of me now, Mr. Francois? I haven't eaten yet, so I don't have the strength to carry you."

Roland stood up and checked his watch. "You haven't eaten? It's only five o'clock now."

"I meant lunch," she said.

Roland glanced at her coldly.

She rolled her eyes and smiled. "Mr. Francois, the surgery is starting soon, but I'm craving some snacks now. I probably won't be able to eat for a long time after the operation, so can you bring me out?"

Her tone was inquisitive, but her actions said otherwise. Alvera had already gotten off the bed and had found her clothes from the wardrobe.

"We're not going," he said coldly.

"Mr. Francois, I'm exchanging my liver for a meal. It's a great deal for you," she said as she headed into the bathroom to change.

She was dressed within two minutes.

"Come on, let's go." She grabbed his wrist and pulled him out. 

Roland had always disliked indecent women like her.

Not even Andrina was allowed to pull him by the wrist without his consent.

Logically speaking, he should be angry, but he felt no anger towards Alvera right now.

...

He brought her out of the hospital for dinner.

In the car, Alvera directed him towards a taco shop opposite the Calgary Middle School.

"My God, I didn't think the shop would still be here," Alvera said, pleasantly surprised.

Roland frowned. "This is the snack that you're craving?"

Alvera turned and smiled at him charmingly. "Yes, rigth here."

She walked into the taco shop.

Roland glanced furtively around the dirty street before following her in.
