Chapter 49 Alexander's Doubt
Florence dawdled on the street and she didn't know where to go.
It was late at night.
There were few people on the street.
Florence was a little hungry since she hardly ate at the banquet.
Seeing there was a barbecue stall on the side of the road, Florence sat down and ordered some barbecued food and a bottle of beer.
A cool breeze was blowing. Florence sniffed. If someone saw the goddaughter of the Cooper family was strolling on the street late at night and eating some barbecued food at a roadside barbecue store, they might be very surprised.
Florence didn't want to restrain herself because of being a goddaughter of the Cooper family. She was still what she used to be.
She was eating barbecued food while drinking beer. She was alone, quietly looking at the people coming and going from time to time.
This kind of comfort was her life.
In the car on the roadside, Alexander stared at Florence. He kept following her, but did not approach.
After getting along with her for so long, Alexander thought he knew Florence well, and it was not until tonight that he realized that she was hiding something he didn't know about.
A young couple came and sat beside Florence's table. At first they were eating cheerfully, but suddenly they quarreled.
The man kicked the stool angrily, and questioned the girl furiously, "You have had a baby? You are not a virgin? You are lying to me!"
The girl was sad and wronged. She was sobbing and said, "I didn't mean to lie to you. Tom, I'm sorry, it was because I was so young and ignorant that I made a mistake. But I really love you."
"You have even given birth to a child. Why do I need you? I don't need someone dumped by the other man. Don't come to me see me again in the future." The man was very determined.
"Tom, Tom..." The girl chased after him crying.
Such an incident made Florence even more annoyed and upset, and a sense of inferiority arose spontaneously.
Did men hate women who have given birth to a baby?
Alexander would definitely mind it.
She deceived him.
After drinking the beer in the bottle, Florence stumbled into a taxi and went back home. Maybe she was tired, or maybe she was drunk. She fell asleep as soon as she lay on the bed.
Alexander was sitting in the car downstairs. He didn't get out of the car and went upstairs either. He lit a cigarette and smoked silently.
There was nothing he could not find out if Alexander wanted to know.
But he didn't dare to find out why Florence was acting so weirdly tonight.
The smoke burnt out slowly.
The car was filled with smoke and a pile of cigarette butts were on the ground.
As the sky got lighter, Alexander left and returned to the Logans’ mansion.
Courtney got up early. She hadn't met Florence for several days. It was also inappropriate for her to show up at the introduction banquet yesterday as she was afraid that she would let the plan slip.
As soon as Courtney came downstairs, she saw Alexander coming in from outside with his crutch, walking quickly.
"My son, what's the wrong?" Courtney's heart jolted, "Did you have words with Florrie?"
Courtney was just saying, but she did not expect the temperature in the air to drop suddenly.
It was so bad. It seemed she guessed it right.
Courtney asked cautiously, "You two did quarrel?"
Alexander didn't say a word, and Courtney was so anxious.
"Son, you need to say something. What's wrong? Tell me and I will give you an idea."
"It's okay." Alexander replied shortly and walked upstairs.
Courtney remembered something, and when she saw Alexander walking upstairs, she reminded him immediately. "Son, Steven is back."
Alexander stopped, and his eyebrows twisted.
As soon as Courtney finished her words, a tall and handsome man in casual attire appeared on the stairs.
"Brother, you are home. It's been a long time."
Steven had a gentle smile on his face, but with a closer look, one would find that his smile was mixed with a bit of insidiousness.
