Alex reflects on what Miya says. He remembers that on the day Miya left, he did meet Grace at Alex Group’s door, but he remembers that Grace was pestering him. He can’t remember what happened after that.
Grace has never been important to him. Alex doesn’t need to remember these things. So he can’t answer Miya’s question.
But Miya thinks he admits it.
“I feel like we’d better not meet until it’s clear,” Miya says.
Miya wants to leave.
Alex reaches for Miya and holds her in his arms. “Honey, I’ll explain it to you, but we don’t have to separate. Do I have to stay in the company during this period of time?”
Miya thinks that Alex has much work to do every day. If he lives in the company, she will worry about him. “It’s OK. I can talk to Lisa. I can stay with her for a while.”
Alex, “…” The girl is too stubborn.
“I don’t mean that. It must be a misunderstanding. I swear to God that if I have another woman after you, I will die.”
After Alex finishes, Miya stops him. “Can you bless yourself? Don’t mention death. You have to think about children. I haven’t punished you for your three-month bet.”
Alex looks at Miya and is happy, “I’m glad you care about me.”
“No, I am not kidding. If you don’t give me a reasonable explanation, we’d better not meet. I can’t help but think of these bad things if we meet.”
Alex understands what Miya says, but he really doesn’t understand what he did wrong that made Miya misunderstand that he has something to do with Grace.
But Alex asks, “do you know anything about it?”
“Don’t change the subject.” Miya exposes Alex.
Alex smiles helplessly, but he does want to know why Miya just said Grace became the president of Alex Group. He remembers that he listened to the people in the old house about it. Miya doesn’t go to the old house and doesn’t know many people from Alex Family. How could she know about it?
Miya looks at Alex and refuses to answer, “you’d better think about how to explain to me.” She leaves.
Alex looks at Miya’s back and is dazed. He feels his head hurt and almost burst.
“Honey, what you said is not true.” He shouts and is going after Miya.
But Miya gets into the elevator. He wants to catch up, but Ann stands there awkwardly.
