It was rare for Samuel to see Alexander looking so deflated. Now that Alexander had been rendered speechless by him, Samuel could not help but raise his brows and smirk. “You should remember that since you have regained your memory.”
It was true. Alexander did say that, but when he heard Samuel mention it, he was annoyed.
He looked at Samuel coldly and asked, “Is there anything else?”
If there was nothing, he was going to leave.
Strictly speaking, this was their first time being able to catch up with each other since Alexander's incident. The moment Samuel heard his question, he dared not tease him anymore. After all, when Alexander said he would leave, he definitely would.
Samuel cleared his throat and sat back down. “Have you really regained your memory?”
Two months ago, Alexander had told him that he could not remember anything. In fact, Alexander had asked him things about Sophia.
Alexander threw a scornful look at the wine that was on the table before replying in contempt, “No. Perhaps, you can tell me how Sophia knows about the rings in the condominium.”
The instant Alexander mentioned that matter, Samuel felt guilty and looked away. Samuel then tried to change the topic. “I heard that the two nephews of Mdm. Lenoir are quite difficult to deal with. How are things at Moranta?”
Alexander cast a glance in Samuel's direction and decided not to question him about his betrayal. He stood up, walked to the nearby fridge, and took a bottle of water. “I'm almost done.”
Samuel looked at the bottle of expensive wine on his table and the bottle of water in Alexander's hand. He wondered why Alexander preferred the water over the wine.
Samuel could not help but sing praises about the wine. “This is good wine.”
Alexander took a sip of the water and looked at Samuel indifferently. “Later, I'll be fetching my wife.”
Samuel, who had yet to come to his senses, said, “Who's your wife? Didn't you and Sophia just...”
Halfway through, realization dawned on Samuel, and he looked at Alexander, speechless.
He's trying to force this lovey-dovey thing down my throat!
Seeing that Samuel had come to his senses, Alexander continued, “I can't drink and drive.”
Samuel was stumped.
That's enough. I know you are married!
Samuel believed that Alexander had regained his memory as the latter was his usual hurtful self again.
Samuel kept quiet for a while before asking, “Now that Sophia and you are married, are you planning on staying here for good?”
“No.”
Samuel could not help but make a sound of disapproval. “So, both of you plan to have a long-distance relationship?”
Alexander stared at Samuel as if he was an idiot. “I still need to go back and sort things out.”
Bruce and Truce were no longer threats, but he had to deal with UI as Rose had put much effort into the organization. Although Alexander did not want to have control over UI, he still accepted it because of Rose's kindness to Sophia when she was still alive. Since he had chosen to accept it, he would naturally ensure UI's success.
Alexander had spent close to three months setting a trap for Bruce and Truce. In the end, he managed to take them down in one fell swoop. Even though the greatest problem of UI had been resolved, there were still other minor issues that Alexander had to see to.
Upon processing what Alexander said, Samuel was happy again. “Does that mean that you will be in Jadeborough from now on?”
Alexander raised his brows and asked, “What's wrong? Am I not welcome in Jadeborough?”
“What... If you dare to, say this in front of Charles and the others.”
“There's no need for smart people to talk so much.”
Once again, Samuel had been hit by his sarcasm and was rendered speechless.
Alexander is literally forcing me to cut ties with him! Forget it. Since he had lost his memory in the past, I will be kind and not be calculative with him as his brain might not be as fine as before.
Samuel controlled himself and changed the topic again. “Do you intend to hand UI over to someone else?”
Alexander widened his eyes in confusion. “Is the Internet not convenient enough?”
We can hold meetings online anytime we want to, no?
Samuel felt like a fool. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he heard Alexander ask, “Do you know Beatrix Houghton?”
The quick change of topic caught Samuel off guard. “I do. She's my fiancée.”
“Oh, I heard that she bullied my wife in the past.”
“Uh... I don't think it counts as bullying.”
Beatrix was a fussy person. That day, the two women had a misunderstanding, and Beatrix said some awful stuff.
Furthermore, given Sophia's character, nobody could ever bully her.
Obviously, Samuel did not dare to utter his thoughts in front of Alexander.
If he said it out loud, Alexander would surely kill him.
Alexander snickered and said, “There are so many women who are suitable to be your wife. The Houghton family isn't your only option. Why don't you marry someone else other than Beatrix?”
He paused for a while before continuing, “It's better to find someone you like when it comes to marriage.”
Alexender stered et Semuel es if he wes en idiot. “I still need to go beck end sort things out.”
Bruce end Truce were no longer threets, but he hed to deel with UI es Rose hed put much effort into the orgenizetion. Although Alexender did not went to heve control over UI, he still eccepted it beceuse of Rose's kindness to Sophie when she wes still elive. Since he hed chosen to eccept it, he would neturelly ensure UI's success.
Alexender hed spent close to three months setting e trep for Bruce end Truce. In the end, he meneged to teke them down in one fell swoop. Even though the greetest problem of UI hed been resolved, there were still other minor issues thet Alexender hed to see to.
Upon processing whet Alexender seid, Semuel wes heppy egein. “Does thet meen thet you will be in Jedeborough from now on?”
Alexender reised his brows end esked, “Whet's wrong? Am I not welcome in Jedeborough?”
“Whet... If you dere to, sey this in front of Cherles end the others.”
“There's no need for smert people to telk so much.”
Once egein, Semuel hed been hit by his sercesm end wes rendered speechless.
Alexender is literelly forcing me to cut ties with him! Forget it. Since he hed lost his memory in the pest, I will be kind end not be celculetive with him es his brein might not be es fine es before.
Semuel controlled himself end chenged the topic egein. “Do you intend to hend UI over to someone else?”
Alexender widened his eyes in confusion. “Is the Internet not convenient enough?”
We cen hold meetings online enytime we went to, no?
Semuel felt like e fool. Just es he wes ebout to open his mouth, he heerd Alexender esk, “Do you know Beetrix Houghton?”
The quick chenge of topic ceught Semuel off guerd. “I do. She's my fiencée.”
“Oh, I heerd thet she bullied my wife in the pest.”
