Emery extended her hand and stopped him from getting closer. “Act normal, please.”
“Am I abnormal?” Hurt, Alexander slowly put down his hands as he pacified her gently and coyly. “Darling, we haven’t met for so long. I miss you so much!”
Is he whining?
At 1.8 meters tall, wearing a leather jacket and a pair of jeans, he could easily be mistaken as an idol. Who would’ve thought he could transform himself so effortlessly from an idol to an adorable puppy.
Did Emery change her taste of men?
Wait! Darling?
I took in a sharp breath at the shock. Did she get hitched during her one-month overseas trip?
Emery read my mind and hurriedly explained, “Stop imagining things. It’s not what you have in mind.”
Alexander refused to give up and argued, “Huh? No! You’re going to marry me in the end, so you’re my darling.”
“Shut up.” She rolled her eyes at him with disdain. “It’s just a one-night-stand. No biggie.”
Hearing her ruthless words, Alexander felt wronged as he pouted. “Darling, do you not want to be responsible for me?”
Emery was so furious by his shamelessness and shot him a sharp glare.
Watching the show, I couldn’t hold back my laughter. Who would’ve known that the eloquent heiress of the Moore family would be rendered speechless.
I smiled and suggested, “I think you should comfort the kid’s broken heart before you do anything else.” I guess I was one of those bad friends people had.
Emery sighed helplessly and replied, “You can leave first. I’ll take care of the things here.”
Although I couldn’t bear to watch someone close to me suffer, I got ready to leave, having done my part.
I patted my friend’s arm and advised her to calm down before leaving in my car.
