Chapter 407: Does She Need to Explain to Alexander?
During an interview, a crew member spoke as if proving their favorite celebrity couple was truly in love, continuing nonstop, “Ah, afterward Eugene opened the door to the makeup room and pulled Olivia in… Just the two of them alone there, who knows what they were talking about?” As the crew member coyly covered their face, it seemed they said nothing yet everything at the same time.
Olivia fell silent. She couldn’t believe that one of the few times she misspoke could lead to such a social faux pas. As Olivia snapped back to reality from this bizarre interview, she realized she was watching it on a speaker. And Alexander was sitting on a sofa just three steps away…
Did he hear everything?
Olivia immediately turned to look at Alexander on the sofa. He was looking down at some documents, seemingly unaffected. Just as Olivia was about to turn off the video…
“Olivia and Eugene, a true pair of couple forever! Locked down! They will never give up!” the crew member finally burst out with their most heartfelt shout. “They will never give up!” The volume created an echo in the room. Alexander, pretending he hadn’t heard anything. If he kept this up, he’d be playing deaf! He slowly looked up at Olivia. Olivia was stunned. What an awkward moment…
“I can explain this, actually…” Just as Olivia was about to clear up the misunderstanding, she paused. Wait a minute! Do I need to explain anything to Alexander? Alexander, waiting for Olivia to disassociate from “Eugene,” smiled subtly. Then…
“Eugene is actually a pretty good guy,” Olivia stated frankly.
Chapter 407: Does She Need to Explain to Alexander?
Alexander fell silent. Did she misspeak? Or did I mishear? Olivia plopped down on a chair, swinging her legs. “He’s handsome, has a great body, and is considerate. Truly a great catch.” If she were to be taken care of, she felt he would meet the criteria! Of course, that was if she could get it for free! Olivia was oblivious to the increasingly stern look in Alexander’s eyes.
She continued, “Since we’re just nominally husband and wife, you wouldn’t mind if there were rumors about me with other men, right?” Alexander’s brow furrowed slightly, and he suddenly looked up at Olivia. Nominally husband and wife? Since when are we just nominally married?
“Who said I don’t care?” Alexander suddenly stood up, his imposing figure advancing towards Olivia. Olivia, confused by his sudden approach, “Uh, you don’t like me, what’s there to care about? Isn’t the only reason we’re married because of Grandpa’s order? I used to pester you, and you were annoyed. Now I’ve moved on, it’s to lighten your load… If you’re worried about these rumors upsetting Grandpa, I’ll just be more careful from now on.”
The more Alexander listened, the worse his expression became. What did she mean she’d moved on? What did she mean by being more careful in the future? Being careful not to let paparazzi catch her with other men? Looking at Olivia, Alexander felt it for the first time. She is so far away. Though physically close, she seemed out of reach.
