Chapter 367 The Missing Husband
It almost felt like this engagement party wasn’t being prepared for Sophia and Edmund at all-
But for Alexander.
Elena disliked the probing undertone in Carol’s voice.
She stopped flipping through the catalog in her hands and looked up calmly.
“Aunt Carol, you seem really concerned about Alexander.”
“If you’re truly that worried, I can call him right now and let you video chat with him.”
She picked up her phone as if she were about to place the call.
Carol immediately let out an awkward dry laugh.
“Oh no, no need to disturb him at this hour.”
“It’s getting late anyway. I should head home.”
Carol quickly stood up and left.
Evelyn sighed softly.
“How is Alexander really doing?”
“I’ve called him several times recently, but he never answers.”
“He only texts me telling me not to worry.”
“But how could I possibly not worry?”
Alexander had always been someone with his own plans.
Even Evelyn had no way of controlling him.
Elena gently comforted her.
“Alexander said he’ll return for Sophia’s engagement party.”
“So the treatment overseas should be going well.”
Hearing that-
Evelyn finally relaxed slightly.
“That’s good…”
“Then Fiona really did help quite a bit.”
She hesitated before carefully glancing at Elena’s expression.

“I know you’re bothered by Fiona.”
“But Alexander has no romantic feelings for her.”
“Helping the Scott family rebuild is just his way of repaying her.”
“Don’t overthink it.”
Recently-
Elena had also heard the rumors surrounding Fiona.
The Scott family had established a new company.
Alexander was the investor.
And Fiona was now the company’s general manager.
The gossip outside had become completely out of control.
People were saying Alexander and Fiona’s relationship was obviously unusual.
Some even dug up stories from their past.
Naturally—
Elena became part of the scandal too.
There were even ridiculous rumors claiming that now that Elena was already pregnant with a Kingsley heir
Alexander could finally openly be with the woman he truly loved: Fiona.
Elena never wasted time fighting rumors.
She was too busy.
Most of her energy had gone into battling Nathan and Simon head–on.
Only after repeatedly assuring Evelyn that the gossip wasn’t affecting her mood-
Did Evelyn finally let her return upstairs to rest.
The moment Elena returned to her room-
She immediately called Alexander.
This time-
It took even longer than before for him to answer.

When the video finally connected-
Alexander was lying in a hospital bed.
His face looked noticeably exhausted.
“You haven’t been resting properly?”
Elena frowned immediately.
Alexander smiled faintly.
“I’m preparing to return home.”
“There’s been a lot to deal with recently.”
“I stayed up late finishing everything.”
“Alexander Kingsley, you’re seriously becoming impossible!”
Elena genuinely got angry.
Even her voice rose several levels.
“If it’s inconvenient for you to come back, then don’t.”
“This is Sophia’s engagement, not her wedding.”
“You can come home after you’re fully recovered.”
Even though she desperately wanted to see him-
To her-
His health mattered more.
Alexander chuckled softly after being scolded.
He even raised one hand in surrender.
“My fault.”
“No more staying up late starting tonight.”
“I’ll rest properly until I return home, okay?”
His voice was so gentle it almost sounded capable of melting water.
Elena completely lost the ability to stay angry at him.
Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye-
It was the day of Sophia’s engagement party.
As Sophia’s side of the family-
Elena stayed beside her while she got ready.
Sophia was so excited she kept lowering her head to admire her dress.
“Elena, Edmund personally picked this gown for me…”
Her eyes sparkled brightly with happiness.
Elena looked at the vivid red dress she wore.
“I thought you liked pink?”
She remembered-
Everything Declan bought for Sophia used to be pink.
Sophia pouted playfully.
“Oh, it’s fine.”
“I do love pink.”
“But I like red too.”
“As long as Edmund picked it, I like it.”
Elena laughed softly at her childish sincerity.
“As long as you’re happy.”
After speaking-
She subconsciously glanced at her phone again.
Last night-
She had already messaged Alexander.
‘But he still hadn’t replied.
