Alex Rockefeller laughed dryly, âOf course, you are⦠Way more beautiful,â he said. Zendaya Stoermer
sat down elegantly. âThis time, I caused you and me to have a scandal. Iâm truly sorry. Did
your wife misunderstand anything after that?â Alex sighed a little. âWe got divorced today.â Upon saying
that, Alex wanted to slap himself again. âWhat the heck?
This foul mouth of mine! Why did I say that?â Alex thought. Zendayaâs eyes immediately lit up, and her
heart raced. It was as though she saw a glimmer of hope⦠She
didnât want to miss this fated opportunity. They were destined to be together!
How could she miss this chance?
âWas it because of me?â She leaned over and asked softly. âNot entirely,â replied Alex. âIâve heard a
little bit about you guys. The Assex family doesnât seem to treat you well. I heard that Lady
Dorothyâs mother makes things difficult for you, and she thinks of you as a thorn in the flesh. In the
past, she
treated you like a nannyâ¦â Zendaya said.
Alex waved his hand. âForget it Why bring this up? Letâs talk about you instead. Your father came
looking
for me yesterday. I didnât expect the Stoermer family to come from a royal bloodline.â
Zendaya shook her head.
âItâs more like fallen royalty. Otherwise, they wouldnât have gone around trying to
marry off the familyâs daughters to affluent families out there! Alex, thereâs something I want to tell you.â
She finally decided to stop beating around the bush.
Suddenly, Zendaya took Alex by his hand. Alex was startled. âWhat⦠What did you want to tell me?â
he asked. âI like you! â Zendaya exclaimed. âUhhâ¦â
âArenât you divorced now? In that case, would you like to be with me? Why donât we elope somewhere?
We
can go abroad to a place where nobody else is. Weâll buy an island on the Pacific Ocean, live a
reclusive life, and Iâll bear your childrenâ¦â
Zendaya went on. Alex was stunned. This was way too direct. The problem was that, in the face of
such an offer from Zendaya, he was tempted to say yes. Truthfully, if it were any other man, 99% of
them would have agreed. But Alex finally shook his head gently. âNo, I⦠I canât say yes.â
âWhy?â Zendaya asked in bewilderment.
âIt⦠Itâs very complicated.
I still have many things to do. For example, I must exact revenge. Hence, Iâm
sorryâ¦â Alex explained. Zendaya looked at him and chuckled bitterly. âItâs simply my lack of fortune!
After returning to my family
this time, it might perhaps be a permanent farewell⦠Before I go, can you buy me a drink? Think of it
as
sending me off,â she said. Alex nodded.
âOf course, that wonât be a problem.â Zendaya inhaled sharply and pointed at Willow Lake. âLetâs go
there. I know about a cruise ship we could
charter.â Soon, the two walked down to the lake. Indeed, docked by the shore was a two story cruise
ship. âBoss, I want to charter your boat for tonight.
Make me an offer!â Alex said directly. The middle-aged man glanced at Zendaya. Although she had put
on a mask and a hat, she still seemed very
eye-catching. The man then looked at Alex with a funny expression. âNot a problem. A single night will
cost
you 50,000 dollars. You can do anything you want! Thereâs even a room upstairs, complete with
everything
you need.
Itâs no different from a hotel. Also, just so you know, one of its rooms even has a special, romantic
ambiance. Heheâ¦â Alex felt slightly awkward. âIs there food?â he asked. âYes, yes. We have cuisines
including Chinese, Western, Japanese, Korean kimchi rice, and even Indian curry
rice.
We have everything you want!â
âIâll pay by card!â Beep.
Alex finished paying with his card and had just gotten on board when a group of people unexpectedly
rushed
onto the cruise ship. The leader looked like a young man with wealthy parents. âBoss, I want this boat.
Get rid of everyone else,â he exclaimed.
Alex and Zendaya were just about to enter when they heard this. They turned around with stunned
looks on
their faces. Among the group of people was an old nemesis. She was none other than Alexâs ex-
girlfriend, Chloe Marionette. After counting the days down, it seemed like they hadnât met for quite
some time. Alex didnât expect to meet
her here.
Moreover, by the looks of it, she had changed boyfriends yet again. Wearing a pair of sexy, revealing
shorts, Chloe had her arms around a young manâs arm while she flirted with him. When their eyes met,
Chloe immediately started shouting. âHey, Alex Rockefeller, itâs you, you loser!
Shouldnât you be on your knees, washing your wifeâs feet? I canât believe youâre actually out here on a
date
with another woman. Do you not want to be looked after by your wife anymore?â
