Falling for my ex’s uncle novel

Chapter 118 Chapter 118 ( +40 ) Alex raised his hand and touched my forehead , a hint of sulkiness flashing in his eyes .

In the future , you dont need to pretend to be weak in front of me .

You dont need to prove anything by hurting yourself its your body.

I stared at Alex in front of me , a twinge of shock tightening my chest .

At the same time , a warmth spread through me a warmth I hadnt felt in a long time , and it was coming from a stranger .

Alex motioned for me to return my electric bike to its rightful place .

Then I sat quietly in the car .

Instead of heading straight home or going to the mall , we drove to the nearest hotel .

Come down once youve changed .

Alex handed me a room key , along with a set of clothes .

The clothes had come from his car .

Seeing my hesitant expression , he looked serious .

I prepared those clothes for you .

No one elses .

I smiled .

I have a bit of a cleanliness obsession .

The corner of Alexs lips curved into a smile .

It seems like you and Angela have a really good relationship .

Of course .

I grinned , taking the clothes and heading toward the elevator .

It was uncomfortable being wet .

After taking a shower and changing into the new clothes , I hurried downstairs .

After all , Alex had said he was an impatient person , and I didnt want to annoy him .

Just as I stepped into the elevator , my phone rang .

It was an unfamiliar number .

I hesitated , but answered anyway .

Laurel .

A mans low , hoarse voice came from the other end .

I heard that voice , and a cold smile appeared in my eyes .

Austin , are you trying to ghost me ? Arent you afraid Ill tell your uncle ? I said .

I knew the Herrera family had always been somewhat wary of Alex .

One of the reasons was that he was eccentric and didnt get along well with most people , But anyone who offended him usually didnt end well .

Most importantly , Alex had no sympathy for others , especially for those around him .

For the sake of the six years we spent together , Laurel , I just want to give you a warning otherwise , you might lose your life without even realizing it , he said .

I rubbed my brow .

Id once heard the same words from Isaac .

My heart tightened , but I kept my tone casual .

What , trying to threaten me ? Once my identity gets out , I dont think anyone will turn against me .

After all , Im Alexs woman .

1/3 16:19 Sun , 16 Mar Chapter IIS Austin chuckled softly from the other side of the line .

Laurel , do you really think my uncle brought you home to marry you ? Maybe he just wants to send you to your death .

My heart skipped a beat , then I sneered .

Laurel , my grandpa and grandma would never approve of you coming into the family .

Have you thought about the consequences ? Austin said .

So , do I need to thank you for the heads up ? I said .

+40 Samantha and my uncles marriage is already set .

The only reason he wants to marry you is because he doesnt like being manipulated .

What are you comparing yourself to Samantha ? Even if you were married , my uncle would divorce you in less than six months , Austin said .

Hearing Austins mocking tone .

I hastily interrupted .

Are you suggesting I take Samanthas money and leave ? Dont bother .

Im sure Ill marry your uncle .

The next time we meet , you should call me Auntie instead of my name Laurel , okay ? Please watch your language .

I then hung up without giving Austin a chance to respond .

But in face , I was just worried that Alex would get impatient and angry if he waited too long .

The elevator door opened , and I immediately saw Alex sitting on the sofa , his face cold .

He clearly wasnt in a good mood , especially after that phone call .

After the birthday banquet , it was likely the Herrera family had learned about Alex and me .

Lena and Raphael had never met me , but they knew of my existence .

As for whether they liked me , I wasnt sure .

But one thing I did know was that the Herrera family adhered to strict rules .

Even though Austin and I had never been intimate , I had stayed by his side for six years .

If Alex did take me back to the Herrera family , it would definitely caused a stir .

It was hard to say I wasnt worried or scared .

Even Alex had admitted that he was afraid of scaring me when we went back to the Herrera family .

Alex was sitting alone on the sofa .

When he raised his head , the corner of his lips curled into a gentle smile , softening his usual detachment .

Lets grab some food first .

Your jacket is wet , I said .

Alex looked up at me , and then , his gaze shifted , his eyes now slightly lowered , a faint chill lingering in them .

Its fine .

Ill have the driver take it to the dry cleaners later .

He reached out , his slender fingers carefully taking the handbag from my hand .

His voice was steady .

Lets go eat .

I nodded subconsciously , but a flash of hesitation passed through Alexs eyes at that moment .

Theres someone else joining us in a few minutes .

If youre not feeling well , Ill have the driver take you back first , he said .

Alexs voice held a trace of concern , even caution .

My heart tightened , and I raised my eyes , meeting his clear , deep gaze .

He didnt really need to ask for my opinion , though .

After all , I was the one hed paid a fortune for .

2/3 16:20 Sun , 16 Mar Chapter 118 I took a deep breath and smiled faintly .

Its fine , as long as theres something I like to cat .

There was no need to go into details .

Samantha must be there .

No one knew what methods Samantha had used to finally get Alex to compromise .

In the car , Alex leaned back against the seat , his eyes closed .

He looked a little tired .

He had slept for less than five hours , but he was still all smiles in front of others .

At this moment , he appeared to have taken off his armor .

He was no longer the untouchable man , and I could sense a faint vulnerability a trace of humanity .

The black Maybach slowly approached the porch of Sunwill Hotel and stopped .

When it did , Alex , who had been resting with his eyes closed , slowly opened them .

He got out of the car , took my hand , and his eyes lingered on me for a moment before his lips curled into a lazy smile .

As I stepped into the reserved private box , I immediately saw Kailyns bright smile , though a flash of confusion crossed her face as soon as she saw me .

Here you are .

Take a seat , Isaac said , lifting his eyes and holding my gaze for a long moment before speaking .

I didnt expect to see you again , Miss Parks .

His gaze was gentle , polite , but distant .

I nodded slightly , surprised to be meeting someone from the White family again .

Wheres Mr.

Parks ? I asked .

Kailyn smiled .

He went to make a phone call .

Hell be back in a bit .

Just as she finished speaking , the door behind her opened , and someone entered .

I couldnt help but tighten my grip , my hands clenching together .

It was Maddox Parks , the father Id never met .
