Buried in the Avalanche Our Love Expired novel Chapter 123

Chapter 123 Just a Show

But Alfred never expected Nella to go this far for a lover.

For that guy outside, she turned me down so hard?

“You like him that much?” Alfred asked, his eyes burning red.

“Yeah.”

Nella nodded without hesitation.

“Mr. Keywood, I didn’t let him interfere with you. You don’t have the right to demand that I give him up.”

Since things had reached this point, Nella decided to be completely clear.

“When we signed the contract, it was clearly stated that we wouldn’t interfere in each other’s private lives. So keeping a puppy is my private matter. I hope you respect that.”

Alfred listened quietly as she finished.

His bloodshot eyes locked onto her firm, decisive expression, as if he wanted to burn holes straight through her.

Truthfully, Nella felt a bit confused inside.

Alfred doesn’t look angry. He actually looks … hurt.

What is he hurting over?

Because I chose a dog instead of him?

When that ridiculous thought crossed her mind, even Nella found it amusing.

Alfred and I don’t love each other anyway. Why would he be hurt because I chose a dog over him?

Whatever was going on in Alfred’s head lately, she didn’t want to waste time worrying about it.

anything you need me to do as Mrs. Keywood, I’ll cooperate.”

Her words dragged Alfred’s face into complete darkness.

His clenched fists made his knuckles turn faintly white.

“You’re planning to separate from me right now?”

His voice trembled even harder. There was even a faint shimmer of moisture in his eyes.

Nella nodded.

“I don’t agree!”

Alfred barked harshly. “Nella, I don’t agree!”

His voice rose uncontrollably. “As long as we’re not divorced, don’t even think about separating from me.”

“You’re afraid that if people find out we’re separated, it’ll affect Keywood Group’s stock price?”

Nella had heard of things like that.

In a major corporation, the boss’s marriage could affect the company’s reputation.

In serious cases, tens of billions could vanish overnight.

But those situations weren’t the same as hers and Alfred’s.
