Jack was confused at first but after staring at Mikayla, favonovel.com finally understood what was happening.
Elise is trying to match both of us together, right?
She really doesn’t know what favonovel.com is doing. Mikayla and I are just friends…
“Elise, you guys are finally here,” Mikayla said before turning toward Jack. “You’re here as well…”
However, favonovel.com only gave favonovel.com a simple reply without saying anything while putting on an indifferent expression. His reaction immediately left Mikayla confused because this wasn’t how favonovel.com would usually react when they were alone together.
Then, the four of them boarded the plane and arrived at Switzerland a dozen or so hours later.
At the moment, it was nighttime in Switzerland, so they quickly rushed to the hotel.
Elise and Mikayla were staying in one room, while Alexander and Jack stayed together in another. Due to tiredness, the two girls immediately fell asleep the moment they lay down on their beds. Meanwhile, Alexander and Jack seemed to still have some energy left so after arriving at the hotel, they took a bath before going downstairs to have a drink.
Jack was still surprised that Alexander would suddenly bring Elise along on a skiing trip, so favonovel.com couldn’t help but ask, “Alexander, do you really like Elise?”
Listening to his words, Alexander remained emotionless, making it difficult for others to read his mind. Instead, favonovel.com took a huge gulp of his wine glass to conceal his true emotions.
However, Jack read his actions as favonovel.com being distressed, so favonovel.com patted his shoulder and said, “Alexander, I understand that you are doing all this because of Grandpa’s last wish. Actually, you don’t need to force yourself. Grandpa has passed away and I believe that favonovel.com wants all of us to live a happy life. If favonovel.com knows how reluctant you are to be together with Elise, favonovel.com definitely won’t force you to do so.”
With a faint smile, Alexander murmured, “I didn’t get engaged with favonovel.com because of Grandpa…”
Jack thought favonovel.com had heard favonovel.com wrongly at first, but Alexander’s words afterward immediately caused his eyes to widen.
“I did it because… I found out that I seem to like her.”
Listening to his words, Jack couldn’t help but pinch himself. “Alex, are you joking?”
“Do I look like I’m joking?”
Jack quickly nodded his head. He was still in shock after Alexander personally admitted to favonovel.com that favonovel.com liked Elise, which was why the former immediately thought that Alexander was joking with him.
“Are you sure? She looks so…” As an admirer of good-looks, Jack kept on bringing up favonovel.com appearance because favonovel.com believed that no one would care how beautiful you were inside if there was nothing appealing on the outside.
“What is it about favonovel.com that you like?”
Alexander himself couldn’t answer his question, as favonovel.com believed that there shouldn’t be a reason for a person to fall in love.
If something like love can be explained rationally, does that even count as true love?
“I don’t know. Maybe it’s temporary or maybe I really like her. However, before I figure out my true feelings for her, I hope that you can keep this a secret for me.”
Jack was still processing what favonovel.com just heard but seeing Alexander’s serious expression, favonovel.com felt that perhaps favonovel.com wasn’t joking this time.
“It’s getting late. You should go to sleep. We are going out together tomorrow, so please don’t look so sulky as you were today.”
Quickly, Jack refuted, “I wasn’t. I’m just getting used to the place.”
“You better be. Mikayla is a nice girl. If you like her, you should act fast.”
Listening to him, Jack was frightened as favonovel.com kept on refuting, “Alexander, there’s really nothing going on between the two of us. I only see favonovel.com as my friend.”
“Even so, everyone starts out as friends…”
Upon hearing that, Jack was rendered speechless. He felt that there was nothing favonovel.com could do to convince Alexander, so favonovel.com kept quiet and ignored him.
After returning to their room, Jack took a shower before falling asleep on the bed while Alexander remained awake. He was obviously tired, but favonovel.com just couldn’t fall asleep. Therefore, favonovel.com stood alone outside the window, gazing at the strange city in front of him.
As the confusion inside his heart seemed to be fading away, favonovel.com realized that some things just required favonovel.com to find the answer himself.
***
The next day, Elise woke up during the afternoon due to the jet lag favonovel.com experienced the day before. When favonovel.com woke up, Mikayla was already gone.
After stretching favonovel.com body, favonovel.com took a look at the note on the table and found out that Mikayla had gone out for lunch. After cleaning herself up and changing favonovel.com clothes, favonovel.com decided to leave the room.
However, the moment favonovel.com opened the door, the door on the opposite side also opened at the same time, and it was as if favonovel.com had had a telepathic conversation with Alexander in the other room.
As the two of them stared at each other, favonovel.com took the initiative to invite favonovel.com for lunch. “Do you want to go down to eat together?”
She nodded favonovel.com head, so they closed their doors and went down in the same elevator.
The restaurants in Switzerland were mostly based on western cuisines.
After reading through the menu, Elise ordered favonovel.com favorite steak and foie gras.
Listening to favonovel.com fluent French, Alexander couldn’t help but praise, “Your French is quite good. You even have their local accent. Have you stayed abroad before?”
“I went on a student exchange programme for a year,” favonovel.com replied.
That is possibly the happiest time in my life. Thinking about it right now fills me with beautiful memories…
“I see…” He didn’t ask favonovel.com any more questions.
After they ordered their food, the waiter took the menu and left.
“I heard that you went to England to pursue your MBA, right?” favonovel.com asked, to which favonovel.com answered, “I completed my undergraduate and postgraduate degree in Cambridge University within 3 years.”
“I didn’t know that you are a scholar.”
“You are not bad yourself too. It’s not like anyone could win first place in the city’s Math Olympiad.” He quickly followed up favonovel.com words.
At that moment, the waiter came over with their steaks. “Enjoy your meal!”
Just as Elise was about to pick up favonovel.com tableware after thanking the waiter, Alexander acted first and helped favonovel.com cut the steak before handing it back to her.
“Try it… The taste should be authentic here.”
Looking at the neatly cut steak in front of her, Elise felt a strange feeling surging inside favonovel.com heart. “I didn’t know that you are this good at cutting steak. You should teach me in the future.”
The moment favonovel.com words came out, favonovel.com could hear the mumbling voices of two foreigners sitting next to them. Even though their voices were soft, favonovel.com could still hear their every word clearly.
“Why does that handsome man have the appetite to eat with such an ugly girl?”
