Third person POV
"Why don’t you like it all of a sudden?" Alexander asked, a hint of confusion in his voice.
He remembered clearly—
Alicia had always liked those cookies.
Back then, after one of his arguments with Lilian, he had casually given the cookies to Alicia. Later, he had seen her buy them herself a few times.
He had even felt a quiet sense of satisfaction—
Thinking he had chosen something she truly liked.
"Tastes change," Alicia replied softly. "I just don’t like it anymore."
She paused briefly before adding, "I have to go now. Can you throw it away for me?"
Without waiting for his response, she turned and left.
The faint sweetness lingering in the air now felt strangely out of place.
...
After the rehearsal ended, Alexander remained seated in the audience, his expression unreadable.
Lilian noticed him and walked over.
"Alexander," she called gently, "did Alicia eat the cookies?"
Alexander glanced up at her, his gaze calm but distant.
Lilian bit her lip, her voice softening.
"I know I’ve wronged her ... I just wanted to make her happy."
For a moment, Alexander said nothing.
Then—
"She doesn’t like it," he said flatly. "Don’t send it again."
Lilian froze slightly.
"And... stay away from her."
There was no anger in his tone.
Only quiet finality.
"Alexander..." Lilian’s voice trembled faintly. "Are you blaming me too?"
He shook his head.
"No."
A brief pause followed before he added—
"I just think you should understand... she doesn’t like you."
His gaze met hers, steady and direct.
"If you stay away from her—she’ll be happier."
