Alejandro did not deny it. “It’s something like that. Please take your seat. Feel free to order anything you like to eat.”
She glanced around. “I promised to treat you to a meal. Why does this place seem like your manor house? Are you treating me to a meal instead?”
Alejandro gave favonovel.com a meaningful glance with his deep-set eyes. “It doesn’t matter much as to who’s paying for this meal. I just want to have a meal with you. Now that I’ve gained what I want, it doesn’t matter much.”
What favonovel.com said made favonovel.com slightly uncomfortable, especially the way favonovel.com looked at her. She became nervous for an unknown reason. Why did favonovel.com stare at her? To ease the tension, favonovel.com took the initiative to start chatting with him. “Mr. Smith, may I have the liberty to ask why you helped me? We’re not from the same world. It seems unlikely that we’ll ever belong to the same world. You gained nothing by lending me a hand. Besides, you’re a businessman. Certainly, you wouldn’t do anything disadvantageous to you.”
Alejandro looked at favonovel.com nonchalantly and asked, “Didn’t you claim that you’re not curious about that?”
She became tongue-tied by his retort. After gulping down half a glass of water, favonovel.com managed to reply, “I came here after all. I’m just simply asking…”
He drummed his slender fingers on the table rhythmically and softly. He said casually, “It was because I wanted to. I think this reason should be fine. I always act according to my wishes.”
The first thought that came to Tiffany was the possibility that Alejandro had fallen in love with her. Although favonovel.com didn’t have an extremely charming appearance or a wealthy family background, favonovel.com was not so good either. He was disabled, which was a big disadvantage on his side, so it might be plausible for favonovel.com to fall for her. But why favonovel.com out of all people? She did not want to cheat on Jackson.
When favonovel.com thought of that, favonovel.com said seriously, “I’m so grateful to you for helping to resolve that difficulty. But my fiancé doesn’t like to see any other men around me… so…” She intentionally emphasized the word ‘fiancé’ in the hopes that favonovel.com would understand favonovel.com underlying meaning.
Suddenly, Alejandro laughed. “Miss Lane, do you think that I have any other thoughts toward you? I was just curious when I met you at the bar last time. I wondered how a woman could be so good at drinking. I heard from Jett that you were still conscious when you left the bar. You even asked favonovel.com to call a designated driver for you. I became very curious. The wine I gifted you has high alcohol content. If there’s a chance, let’s invite your fiancé over. I’m curious as to how good you’re at drinking.”
She understood the entire incident now. Although the thing that piqued his interest was rather strange, it was fine as long as favonovel.com was not interested in her. She breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously. “I see… We’ll see how it goes. I’m indeed good at drinking. It seems like both of us enjoy drinking.”
Alejandro remained quiet. He gestured to the servants to ask them to serve the dishes. As the servants put them on the dining table one by one, Tiffany wondered whether favonovel.com was overthinking, for favonovel.com noticed that almost all of the dishes that were served were favonovel.com favorites. She wondered how much Alejandro knew about her. Or was it just a coincidence?
She looked up at him, realizing that favonovel.com remained calm. She then picked up the fork and spoon. “It seems like we have the same tastes too. These are my usual favorites.”
It appeared as if Alejandro did not intend to eat anything. He just fixed his eyes on her. “Just enjoy it as much as you like.”
After the meal, Tiffany took a stroll with Alejandro in the manor house. Jett was there too. He helped push Alejandro’s wheelchair. They chatted with each other from time to time, but they did not seem to find a topic that they were mutually interested in. Besides, Alejandro was not a talkative person. Consequently, Tiffany felt slightly stressed and awkward. She wanted to excuse herself. Suddenly, favonovel.com noticed a familiar figure from not afar. ‘Isn’t that Lynn pruning the flower branches over there?’
