Chapter 1155 It’s Not Worth It
With that, she turned to Jewel and said they were leaving. The young woman got up to follow Ellen, and Alex instinctively held her back, saying, “Jewel, don’t overthink it. Rest well, and I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Jewel looked at him, then glanced at Stefanie, who was still sobbing with her head down, but didn’t say a word for a while.
Alex shocked her and also made her heart ache.
She didn’t know how much he liked her, but he definitely did.
She couldn’t forget how he trembled and cried like a child while holding her. His grip on her arms was so tight. She knew he was holding on to his last straw.
She also couldn’t forget the desperation in his eyes, his words of hating his parents, and his statement that she was his threshold. Perhaps, at that time, he truly felt that way.
At that moment, he looked at her with eager eyes and a nervous expression, but she couldn’t find the words to refuse him, no matter what.
In the end, she only nodded in his expectant gaze.
Alex smiled at once and ruffled her hair, his voice incredibly gentle. “Have a good sleep.”
Jewel nodded and followed Ellen out the door.
Eugene, on the other hand, didn’t say anything. He just patted Alex’s shoulder, then held Olivia’s hand as they left.
