Chapter 403
The situation became somewhat awkward.
Alana hadn’t caught on yet. “Have I? How come I don’t remember?”
I replied, “Oh? You don’t?”
“…”
Alana cleared her throat, glancing at Frank, her mouth twitching. “Have 1?”
Frank nodded firmly. “You have.”
“I have?” asked Alana.
“Yes.”
“Right, I have.”
Alana suddenly realized, smiling at me. “I’m really sorry, I must have a terrible memory. Yes, I did add you on WhatsApp…”
She turned to look at Frank. “When did I add her on WhatsApp again?”
Frank cocked his brows. “During dinner. Did you forget?”
“Oh, right.” Alana smacked her forehead. “Yes, yes, I even asked Frank for your WhatsApp at the time. I meant to tell you about his leg pain!”
Then she asked Frank uncertainly, “Is that right?”
Frank gave her an exasperated look.
Alana smiled and said meaningfully, “That was my second account, I don’t use it much. Let’s add each other again?”
“Sure.”
We exchanged smiles.

After adding WhatsApp, I left Frank’s house and headed to the care home.
After seeing me off, Alana turned around and looked at Frank.
Frank frowned and asked coldly, “What are you staring at? Do I have something on my face?”
“No no no.”
Alana shook her head thoughtfully, opening her bank account page. “I’ve recently taken a liking to a bag, not expensive, just around 400 thousand. Could you, Mr. Smith, please cover the cost?”
Frank’s face darkened. “Why don’t you go rob a bank?”
“Oh.” Alana nodded, tapping on her phone screen. “I’ll quickly explain to your friend that the previous WhatsApp account wasn’t mine, so she doesn’t get scammed. It wouldn’t be good, right?”
Frank gritted his teeth and said, “Give me your account number.”
“You’re so generous.”
Alana promptly gave Frank her bank account number and cheerfully said, “I’ll have SA reserve the bag for me right now.”
As soon as she finished speaking, her phone rang with a notification. Looking at the account balance, her smile became even brighter. She had received 1 million dollars.
Normally, Frank was known for being stingy, always saving up and meticulous about money. He was well–known for being cheap.
He always said that he was saving up for his wife.
But who would need so much money for his marriage?
Thus, they all privately concluded that Frank was simply a miser. Except
during holidays, no one could expect to get anything out of him.
After Alana finished smiling, she felt a bit uneasy Something unusual was happening, “When did you become so generous?”
“The money’s to shut you up ‘Frank gave her a sidelong glance. “By the way, you have a close friend who is a celebrity Tave her help find out what’s going on with Yasmin’s daughter that sudenly appeared last year.”
Upon hearing this, Alana finally felt reassured. As expected, Frank wouldn’t do anything that didn’t require payback. She patted her chest. Okay, I’ll take care of it.”
Then she cocked her brows. “Why are you suddenly so restless? Have you given up on playing hard to get and began pretending to be pitiful?”
“Give my money back,” said Frank.
Alana glared at him. “You really are something. If you don’t want to tell me, that’s fine.”
“Now that you’re back in Jeswood, shouldn’t you be picking up Danny?” said Frank.
“Yes.” Alana felt a bit guilty about her son. “I’ll go get him tomorrow. It’s
the weekend.”
After the divorce, getting full custody of the child from her ex was already a huge relief.
Frank nodded. “Aren’t you busy with dating? After you pick him up, I’ll take care of him.”
“You?” Alana was stunned.
Frank was notoriously impatient, especially with children. After Lily went missing, he became irritable around kids.

Alana reached out to touch his forehead. “Are you sick?”
Frank impatiently moved away and said, “Didn’t they say women like children?”
‘She, too, should like them,‘ he thought.
Alana wasn’t stupid and quickly understood his intention, chuckling.
“So, you want my son to help you pursue a woman?”
“Is that not okay?”
