Love Faded With the Light novel Chapter 2

After hanging up, Alyssa hurriedly wiped away her tears, grabbed her documents, and started to leave.

But the moment she opened the door, she bumped straight into the man standing outside.

Enzo's neck was covered in kiss marks.

The sight of him hit Alyssa like a truck.

Even though she had already mentally prepared herself for the fact that Enzo and Nadine had been intimate, she still instinctively averted her gaze.

Enzo noticed this subtle movement of hers. Seeing her slightly reddened eyes, he immediately connected the dots.

His tone carried a warning as he spoke coldly, "Alyssa, whether you like it or not, I'm with Nadine now. I will marry her. Since you live here, you need to respect her. Don't say those ridiculous things again."

Alyssa lowered her gaze and calmly replied, "I understand, Mr. Slater."

The moment her address—"Mr. Slater"—left her lips, Enzo found it incredibly unfamiliar.

He lowered his head and gave the young woman in front of him a deep look.

He couldn't even remember the last time he had her address him that way.

Back when Alyssa first moved into the Slater residence, she had always called him "Mr. Slater" sweetly.

But later, when her feelings changed, she started calling him by his name instead. She refused to call him the way she used to.

He frowned slightly and was about to speak when a woman's voice from behind him shattered the strange silence between them.

"Enzo, I've moved my luggage here. Which room will I be staying in?"

Enzo snapped back to reality and pulled Nadine, who was walking toward him, into his arms. He said gently, "You like sunlight, don't you? Alyssa's room faces south and has the best lighting. I'll have her move to the guest room; you can stay here from now on."

A triumphant smile flickered in Nadine's eyes, but her tone carried a show of hesitation. "Oh, but how could I possibly take Alyssa's room?

"Compared to Liss, I came later, after all. Maybe I should take the guest room instead?"

As she spoke, she made a move to head downstairs, but in the next second, a startled gasp escaped her lips.

Enzo had scooped her back into his arms. "You're my future wife, the mistress of this house. How could you possibly stay in a guest room?"
