“Sure.” Alice was going to see Keith anyway. First, she wanted to thank him for saving her seven years ago. Second,
she wanted to figure out if he was the same man who slept with her back then.
“How does afternoon sound? Give me a location and I’ll pick you up.” Keith smiled, finally not nervous anymore. A
successful date opens up an opportunity to ask for her hand in marriage.
“No. Just give me the location and I’ll get a ride there,” said Alice. She didn’t want to make it too much of a hassle.
Going back and forth was a waste of time.
Keith wasn’t much of a romantic, so the moment Alice made that proposal, he did as he was told. Alice checked the
time and calculated the distance between her and the places she wanted to go. In the end, she decided to meet up
with Keith first. She wanted to figure out if Keith was the father of her son, and that was important. Apollo might
seem nonchalant about his father, but she knew he yearned for one in his life.
When Alice arrived at the club, Keith was already waiting for her outside.
He stood tall under the sun, unlike most people his age. He wasn’t scrolling through his phone either. He was just
standing at the club’s entrance. When he saw Alice, he quickly approached her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe club belonged to Chris, and he happened to come here to settle something today. Just when he was about to go
back home, he saw Alice going into a room with Keith. Why are they together? What’s going on? No matter what
the reason was for Ethan to marry Alice, she still was his wife, and Chris must find out why she was seeing another
man.
Hence, Chris went to his office and asked someone to play the surveillance footage of the room Keith and Alice
were in. Every room in this club had a surveillance camera inside, but they were seldom used. This was one of the
exceptions. Chris watched Alice and Keith as they chatted happily, and then he called Ethan. “Guess who I saw?”
Chris didn’t wait for an answer. Ethan wouldn’t say anything anyway. He continued, “It’s Alice. That’s not the point,
though. I saw her going into a room with Keith in my club.”
Ethan was about to go downstairs, but he paused when he heard Chris. He remembered that Alice gave Keith her
number at Royal the other day and said she would speak with him soon. She actually did that?
Alice took out a gift and handed it to Keith. “Here. Thank you for all the help you’ve given me.”
“What?” Keith paused for a moment, delight filling his eyes. In most cases, it was the men who gave women gifts.
This is our first date, and she already bought a gift for me? I don’t have anything for her, though.
Chris was watching everything, and he blurted, “Whoa, she got him a gift.”
The call was still ongoing, so Ethan heard that, and he narrowed his eyes. “What kind of gift?”
Keith was opening the gift, and Chris saw what was inside.
Chris was shocked and amazed at the same time. “Whoa, holy cow. It’s…”
Sh*t. Ethan’s still listening. Chris then heaved a sigh and calmed himself down. “It’s a thumb ring. I know that ring. It
was the one that showed up at the Woland Group’s auction two years ago. It was made with a particular type of
jade, and it is said that Woland Group hired an expert to design it. I love it. Someone wanted to buy it off with nine
million dollars, but Woland Group didn’t sell. I can’t believe she’s giving it to Keith. Who is he to her anyway, and
why did she give him such an expensive gift?”
Ethan felt demoralized hearing that. She’s married to me, and it’s been a while now, but she has never given me
any presents. So why did she give Keith one? And it’s obviously a valuable one too. They didn’t sell it even for nine
million, so it must mean Alice has kept it for herself. And now she’s giving it to Keith? What is she doing?
Keith was surprised by the ring as well. “Thank you, Alice. I love it.”
Chris pursed his lips. Duh. Anyone would love something like that, including me.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKeith held the ring up and slid it onto his thumb, the love in his eyes flaring brighter. “I’d like to marry you, Alice. Will
you marry me?” Keith looked at Alice solemnly. When he saw her seven years ago, he already had the thought of
marrying her, and now he didn’t want to let that chance go.
Chris spewed his tea out and coughed violently. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing. He wants to marry her?
But why? She’s stupid and foolish, and she insisted on marrying Bruce. She even gave Bruce her company. Why on
earth does Keith like her? Ethan only married her because of Caroline, so what’s Keith’s reason? He seems serious
too.
It took Chris a while to calm down, and then he told this piece of shocking news to Ethan. “Ethan, Keith just
proposed to Alice.” Yeah, Ethan only married her because of Caroline, but even if she’s not worthy of him, she’s still
his wife. Ethan needs to know this.
Ethan gripped his phone tighter and stopped walking. He narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint flashing within them.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes. I’m watching them right now through the surveillance camera, and I’m sure that’s what he said, but I bet
she’ll refuse him. She is still your wife at the moment.” Chris wasn’t worried about this. He thought Alice wouldn’t
say yes, no matter what. She is a married woman after all.
