Drowning In His Deep Love (Re-edited) novel Chapter 31

Chapter 31 Alexander Pretending to be Crippled

Florence nestled in Alexander's arms and forgot to react to this scene. The smell in her nose was familiar. His hug was wide and warm, which was also very familiar.

Florence looked up and stared at Alexander's chin, which had a very masculine outline, while Alexander lowered his head and gazed at her.

They made eye contact, and time seemed to cease. A simple glance was more potent than thousands of years of time.

Bathing in the cold moonlight, the two of them hugged each other in a very intimate position.

Florence spoke shyly, "Alexander, the smell of your body wash is so familiar. It's the same as what I use at my home."

Hearing this, Alexander felt his heart thudded. He was very scared that Florence would figure out his true identity. He hastened to cough a few times and diverted Florence's attention.

Since Alexander pretended to be sick for so long, his skills in fake coughing were very outstanding.

Seeing that Alexander was gasping due to severe coughs, she was in a panic. She hurried to pat his chest, "Better? Why are you coughing so badly?"

"Fine. I am alright." Alexander coughed a few more times and stopped coughing when he found she was basically distracted, "I will be fine after a short break. It's my old problem."

When Florence saw Alexander really stopped coughing, she was relieved. She then looked at Alexander's arm, "Your wound, is it really okay? It is still bleeding."

Alexander indifferently glanced at it, "It is a small wound, and it will not bleed soon."

Florence, "..."

"Alexander, aren't you afraid that I will tell others the truth about you pretending to be a cripple?"

Alexander gazed at her intensely and asked her instead, "Would you?"

Florence was stunned, subconsciously shaking her head. She would never do such a shameless thing.

No matters what, they almost became husband and wife. She ran away from the marriage, and he did not blame her. Besides, he then helped her cancel the marriage with that retard. She could never return his favor with a shameless deed.

Alexander smiled and stretched out his legs, lazily leaning against the trunk, "Can you sit over, so I could lean on you? I am a little knackered."

"Ok!" Florence swiftly sat over. She did not even realize that she could be so obedient.

Florence sat next to Alexander. He gently rested his head on her shoulder and closed his eyes to take a rest.

The night was deep and it was gently breezing.

Florence was very afraid that Alexander would fall asleep. It would be very dangerous. After all, the wound was still bleeding, and he might have injured other parts of his body. What if he would never wake up after he slept?

"Alexander, do not sleep. Let's talk. You can sleep when your people arrive."

"What do you want to talk about?" Alexander's voice was mellow and lethargic.

"Talk about your ex-wives, how did they all die?" Florence was really curious, "Is the rumor true? It said that they were dead because you...did that thing to them?"

Under the mask, a shallow smile showed on Alexander's mouth, "That thing? What?"

"That, just that." Florence found that Alexander still did not understand, so she had to explain, "Rumors said that they died because you abused and tortured them?"

Alexander's eyebrows were slightly raised, "Do I look like a brutal and cold-blooded person to you?"

Florence then carefully looked Alexander up and down, "Yes."

Alexander lazily glanced at Florence, and he did not speak.

Florence reacted, "Do you mean they did not die because of you? Then how did they die?"

Alexander teased her, "Do you want to marry me and have a try?"

"No, no." Florence shook her head violently, "I still want to live a long life."

She would be crazy to dig her own grave.

How could it be easy to become the wife of the man in charge of the Logan family?

Alexander closed his eyes, and both of them were silent. They could hear leaves being blown off from the tree in the tranquility.

Before this, Florence never thought that one day she would hide in the grove with the person in charge of the Logan family and talk with him.

She did not know how long had passed. It was so long that Florence thought Alexander would not speak again. But suddenly she heard him say, "My grandfather has a total of nine sons and five daughters, and my father is the eldest. I was raised by my grandfather. I am the successor he cultivated personally. My father only has one kid, and that is me. If I die, and If I die without a successor, then the successor of Logan family can only be chosen from other branches."

Florence didn't expect Alexander to explain this to her.

This could be considered as the secret of this noble family.

Florence immediately understood, "So your uncles and aunts do not want you to have children. They will naturally persecute your wife."

It was said that Alexander would not live long. As long as Alexander had no offspring before he died, those people's purpose would be achieved.

Florence gulped and said, "Fortunately, I escaped from that marriage. Otherwise, I would have died."

Compared to the Logan family's struggle for power and profit, she and Colleen's little rivalry was nothing at all.

Alexander raised the corner of his lips, "You will not die."

"Why?"

Since his ex-wives were dead, how could she win over those Logans?

Before Alexander could say something, a shout came from the distance.

Sir, Sir."

It was Easton and Dominic who came all the way here to find him.

Florence looked toward the voice and saw Easton and Dominic who came to her.

This was the first time she saw Dominic, so she froze for a moment because she felt him somehow familiar.

Dominic and Zachary looked a little bit alike.

"Sir." Easton and Dominic ran over.

Seeing the injury on Alexander's arm, Easton hurriedly went over, "Sir."

Florence assisted Alexander to get up, and she was struggling, "You guys, come and help."

Easton and Dominic were about to go over, but they received a gesture that Alexander secretly gave them, which indicated them to step aside.

Easton reacted quickly, "Ms. Scott, please hold him, and I will go to drive the car here."

After saying that, Easton pulled Dominic and went away.

Florence shouted, "Hey, you two, come back and help..."

They had already disappeared.

Dominic was confused and he followed Easton a long way and asked, "Easton, who was the woman just now?"

"What woman? That is the future hostess of the Logan family. You are never insightful or observant."
