Alyssa touched her chin. She didnât think it was a problem.
Julien could never have imagined that the woman he despised, standing before him, was, in fact, Dr.
White-the very culprit behind his âkidnapping that had dragged his name through the mud.
Otherwise, he would rather hope the ground would open up and swallow him. He would rather die than face this utter humiliation.
âDr. Lovelace, do you still doubt this manâs character-a man Dr. White is willing to save?â
Alyssa nonchalantly asked with a smile, âDonât you think you are questioning your idolâs character?â
She was guilt-tripping him. She had no choice but to use this method to deal with this conniving man.
Julien pursed his lips. He dragged a chair and slowly sat again as he wandered into deep thought.
âOkay, I will take a look for Dr. Whiteâs sake.â
Alyssa was overjoyed. She curled her lips ever so lightly. âI thank you on behalf of Dr. White.â
It was rare for Axel to come back to the country, so he wasnât in a hurry to leave. Yet, he couldnât sit around and do anything. So, like any other young man, he slept during the day and gallivanted at night.
Silas always teased him, âI know you are nocturnal. Anyone who didnât know this about you might think you have an odd job or something.â
Axel asked Silas, Jonah, and Alyssa out for drinks. Yet, two of them declined his invitation. Silas couldnât resist Axelâs pestering and finally caved in.
Axel finally acted like a younger brother when he asked them out for drinks. However, he secretly took hepatica and brought some medicine to help with hangovers. Otherwise, he wouldnât be able to take it.
They searched for a more secluded booth to keep a low profile when they reached the bar.
Yet, it was hard for them to keep a low profile with faces like theirs. It wasnât the dazzling lights in the nightclub. They would make a dramatic presence even in the entertainment industry.
Women hit on them and asked for their numbers before they could warm their drinks.
Silas was exceptionally annoyed. Yet, Axel found this amusing and challenged Silas. They had a drink once for each woman that hit on them. In the end, they ended up in a tie.
Eventually, Axel couldnât hold his liquor anymore. He said to the woman, âI have a girlfriend.â
âHmph, I donât believe you. If you had a girlfriend, you wouldnât come here with him for drinks. Youâre obviously playing the field, handsome.â
The woman flirtatiously leaned toward him. Unexpectedly, Axel nimbly avoided her. The woman disheveledly fell.
Then, he took his phone and waved Alyssaâs picture in the womanâs face. âHere, this is my wife. Isnât she beautiful?â
Silas glanced at it and almost spit the liquor in his mouth.
âPfft, whatever.â The woman was jealous and walked off.
âShit, Axel. You really are something. Using your sister and claiming her as your wife is overstepping a moral boundary!â Silas heavily put down his glass and looked at him as he heaved.
âWhy should I hide my beautiful sister away? I should put her on display for everyone to see.â
Axel downed his entire drink. Suddenly, his eyes darkened as he scoffed. âUnlike the bastard masked behind a suit and tie. He has the worldâs most beautiful wife. Yet, he didnât let her meet people and snuck around.â
âAre you talking about Jasper? Silas asked as he sipped on his drink.
