Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 937

Tiffany brushed her nose. “’Chia right. As if you’ve got that much time on your hands.”

Alejandro took a sip of the beer in front of him. “As we were saying, I just bought a plot from Jackson today. He’s quite adept at holding grudges, it seemed, because the way he treated me was the same as he would a love rival. He sold that plot with three times its supposed price.”

Tiffany’s fixed the table with slightly downcast eyes. “Oh. So? You could have, I dunno, not accepted his offer if you thought it was too expensive. Or do you have so much in your pocket that you just want to burn off some of it?”

Watching her feigning indifference made Alejandro chuckle. “Hee hee. It’s so obvious that you care a lot about this, so why pretend otherwise, hmm? Come on, there’s no need to fake anything when you’re with me, alright? Just be yourself. I won’t lie; I thought it was pretty expensive, but I needed it, so I said yes,” he explained, before adding, “Oh, and by the way, he’s coming to the branch company where you’re working right now. Just thought of giving you a heads-up.’

Tiffany suddenly found the barbecued meat in her mouth flavorless. “Why the hell is he coming here? What, the HQ not comfy enough for him? And to run across so many miles under hot weather like this? Bruh has too much time in his goddamn hands.”

Alejandro raised an eyebrow. “If you really hate the idea of seeing him again, then why did you say yes to joining his branch company? I offered you to join mine, and you declined.”

Tiffany found her tongue failing to come up with a defense. After a large gulp of beer, her mind finally cleared up, and a reason formed. “Look. I, well, I didn’t want to come, okay? It’s his mom who was being too eager and persistent. His mom had always treated me super kindly, so I really can’t say no to that… Okay! I get it, Jackson and I have split, but that’s no excuse to cut her off like she’s a stranger overnight! Uh, honestly, why am I even explaining this to you? You won’t understand all these murky, complex human relationships anyway. And I don’t need you to help me manage them. It’s kind of just the typical messy affair of your dime-and-dozen plebeian.”

Alejandro said nothing, his attention now falling onto the wine cup in his hand. It seemed that Summer West was still holding out on the possibility of Jackson bringing Tiffany back home again, so she ensured that Tiffany would always be within Jackson’s reach no matter how far she ran.

Suddenly, Alejandro found that old woman quite abhorrent.

Tiffany, meanwhile, noticed a blue-black spot on Jett’s face. “Whoa, Jett, did you get punched by someone or what? You’re quite the looker, hun, so you gotta protect that pretty face, okay?”
