Chapter 134: What Are Your Plans?

Raphael, though unaware of every detail, could more or less guess what had happened between them.

Among their circle, he had always been the calmest and most perceptive one. He was also Alexander’s closest confidant, which was why he had been the only person who knew about the marriage from the beginning.

Raphael stepped forward.

"Why did you two come so late? Hope you didn’t keep Alicia waiting while you were with Isaac."he asked with a casual tone glancing at Alexander.

"No." Alexander answered simply as he took Alicia’s hand again. "Alicia and I went to pick out our wedding rings. We got delayed."

"About time," Raphael said with a chuckle. "You’ve been married this long without rings? That’s unacceptable."

"Wedding rings?" Victor repeated, glancing between the three of them.

"Mm." Alexander replied indifferently.

silence spread across the room like wild fire.

Not only Victor, but everyone present was stunned.

From Raphael’s words, it sounded as though Alexander and Alicia had already been married for quite some time.

Yet strangely, the revelation did not shock them as much as it should have.

The moment Alexander had entered holding Alicia’s hand earlier, they had already sensed something unusual.

With the Blackwood family matriarch involved, this outcome was not impossible.

Everyone knew how much Roseline cared for Alicia. There was no way she would allow Alicia to marry just anyone.

Likewise, given Alexander’s status, she would never let him end up with the wrong woman either.

An arranged marriage between the two suddenly made perfect sense.

Still, Victor could not understand it.

To him, Alexander and Lilian had always seemed perfectly matched.

As for Alexander and Alicia...

They had never appeared suited to one another at all.

So how had things ended up like this?

Though confusion filled the room, no one showed it on the surface.

The atmosphere quickly turned lively again, as if nothing significant had been revealed.

Some even began teasing Alexander.

"So our Alexander secretly found himself a stunning wife and got married without telling us?" one man said with a laugh. "That’s not fair."

The others joined in, laughing along.

Yet curiosity lay hidden beneath every laughter.

‎Someone suddenly clapped his hands and laughed. "This is Alicia’s first time joining us here. Shouldn’t we entertain her a little?"

‎"That’s right."

‎"Exactly."

‎The others immediately agreed.

‎Raphael glanced toward Alicia with a grin. "Alicia, do you know Alexander is extremely good at chess?"

‎Alicia turned to look at Alexander. "Really?"

‎Alexander gave a faint, almost sheepish smile, but before he could speak, Raphael had already stood up.

‎"Then let’s have a game. Alexander, come play me."

‎Alexander leaned back lazily in his seat, swirling the drink in his hand. "You already know how it ends."

‎Raphael scoffed. "That was last time. Try me again."

‎"Come on, Alexander!"

‎"Play one round!"

‎With everyone urging him on, Alexander finally rose to his feet. "Fine. One game."

‎The private room was fully equipped for entertainment, and the group quickly moved toward the chess table. Only Michael stayed where he was, uninterested.

‎Alexander and Raphael sat opposite each other while the others gathered around to watch. Someone pulled a chair beside Alexander for Alicia, and she quietly took her seat.

‎The game began.

‎Raphael started confidently, moving quickly, but Alexander remained calm, almost careless, placing each piece with unhurried precision. The room gradually fell silent as everyone’s attention fixed on the board.

‎A few minutes later, Raphael’s brows knitted together. His earlier confidence was nowhere to be seen.

‎Alexander moved one final piece and lifted his eyes lazily. "Checkmate."

‎Raphael stared at the board, then threw himself back in his chair with a groan. "Again?"

‎Alexander smirked. "You lasted longer this time."

‎The room burst into laughter.
