Bring Your A Game, Mr novel Chapter 176

“What are you worrying about? It doesn't seem like he minds.”

“Ha! I’m just feeling bad for the guy. After all, it’s a pity for a handsome guy like him to be paired with a girl like her. He is exactly my type. I’ll be happy if I can date him myself.”

With a wine glass in hand, the girl with the blonde hair couldn't help but walk over to Alexander and Elise. “Sir, can I buy you a drink?”

It was true that Western women were more enthusiastic and bold. Experiencing it upfront, Elise was displeased but just as she was about to speak, Alexander opened his mouth and said, “I’m sorry, but my fiancée won't allow that.”

“What? She’s your fiancée?” the woman repeated in disbelief. It was only then that she walked away reluctantly after glancing at Elise.

“Alexander, don't you mind how I look?” Elise asked carefully. She knew that the first thing a man saw was always a woman’s appearance. Even so, she was still hoping that she would get a different answer from him.

“Does it matter? To me, looks and status are all unimportant to being my wife. I don't focus on these.”

“But if you and I get together, there will be many people talking behind us.” An example would be the two foreigners just now.

He could tell that she was not confident with herself, so he patted her head and said, “Why do you have to care about the opinions of others? We should live for ourselves and not for others.”

Immediately, his answer made her heart flutter. She never thought that one day she would get such comments from a man despite her ugly looks. And so, she thanked him from the bottom of her heart. “Thank you, Alexander.”

Although she had always been carefree about her image, a girl would still be vulnerable to criticisms that were directed to her looks.

“Quickly eat your food before it gets cold.”

And so, she lowered her eyes and began to hesitate deep down. Should I tell him the truth that this face of mine is just a disguise? Will he be able to accept it?

“Alexander, can I ask you something?” She paused for a second and continued, “If one day you found out that someone you trusted deceived you, what would you do?”

Just as the sentence came out of her mouth, she could feel the atmosphere turn icy. As she lifted her gaze to meet Alexander’s eyes, she felt the coldness exuding from him.

“There are two things I will never accept—one is betrayal and the other is deception,” Alexander replied with a light tone as if it was something trivial but deep down, Elise knew that these were his boundaries.

“I was just asking. Don’t take it too seriously.” She tried to change the topic, but Alexander was still staring at her as he commented, “As long as you don’t do something unacceptable, our marriage will last long.”

She was so startled that it felt as though there was something stuck in her throat. Therefore, she turned away and started coughing vigorously, but Alexander was quick to respond by giving her a cup of water. “Are you okay?”

“I-I’m fine.” She shook her head as she had lost all her courage to tell him the truth. Now, all she could do was to take it one step at a time.

After the meal, they walked out of the restaurant. At the same time, Mikayla and Jack also came back. “Elise, you such a deep sleeper! It was already noon but I still couldn't wake you up, so I went and got you some local delicacies. Would you like to have a taste once we’re back?” Mikayla asked as she quickly locked arms with Elise.
