35

Ava felt still attached to matters concerning Logan, even those related to Sophia. The uncertainty haunted her, and she wondered how long all of this would last and when it would fade away.

However, there was a glimmer of hope in her mind, perhaps time would work and make everything disappear on its own.

One day, she believed, the time would come to resolve all these issues. Ava just needed to go with the flow, even though her curiosity remained strong and intense. Thoughts of Logan and Sophia continued to disturb her, making it difficult to focus on her life now.

In the busyness of her mind, Ava almost forgot her status as Alexander's wife. She knew their relationship should be a priority, but the shadows of the past seemed hard to ignore. Her feelings of love and responsibility toward Alexander were often tossed around by doubt and anxiety.

Ava tried to remain calm and committed, but her mixed emotions made it hard for her to be fully present in their relationship. She hoped to find a way to cope with all this so she could focus more on the future and the love she had now. These moments became a point of reflection for Ava, pushing her to seek clarity in her own heart.

"I don't like that you're still dealing with Logan," Alexander said firmly and openly, expressing his desire.

"But on what basis?" Ava asked, still not understanding Alexander's intent and wanting everything to be discussed clearly.

However, Alexander did not answer her question. He turned and left, leaving Ava alone. Confusion quickly enveloped her, making her feel isolated. She stood in place, stunned by what had just happened.

Why did Alexander suddenly forbid her so harshly?

That question spun in her mind, disturbing the tranquility that should have been there. Anxiety and uncertainty merged, leaving her feeling powerless.

Ava tried to digest Alexander's attitude. She knew their relationship had to be built on trust, but right now, the desire to understand her husband's feelings only made her more confused.

Why could Logan be so bad in Alexander's eyes?

Ava felt how important communication was in their relationship. She hoped to find a way to explain her position and why she was still tied to the past. But for now, she could only feel emptiness, wondering when all of this would be resolved.

Alexander was so possessive, and Ava didn't expect to see this side of him. Anxiety began to gnaw at her thoughts. Although she understood that love could make people behave differently, she still didn’t grasp the reasons behind Alexander's attitude.

Nevertheless, Ava felt something was missing in his explanation. Alexander did not provide reasons that she could logically accept.

Why did Logan provoke such a strong reaction in her husband?

Ava wondered if there was more than just jealousy behind Alexander's feelings.

Ava tried to figure out what was really happening.

Was there a past experience influencing how Alexander viewed their relationship?

Or perhaps a deep fear of loss?

However, without a clear explanation from Alexander, all her speculation only added to her confusion.

Ava felt caught between her curiosity and her desire to respect Alexander's feelings. She wanted to discuss this issue, but without clarity from her husband, all her efforts seemed futile.

In her heart, Ava hoped for a moment when they could sit down and talk openly, so they could better understand each other.

Ava felt suspended by many questions stemming from Alexander's behavior. The uncertainty haunted her, but before she could delve deeper into the myriad of questions filling her mind, Alexander had already left. He left behind a big question mark that only added to Ava's confusion.

With each passing second, that confusion intensified.

Why was Alexander so emotional?

What was really happening behind his possessive demeanor?

Ava wanted to ask those questions, but the opportunity vanished just like that.

In her heart, she struggled to find answers, hoping to discover clarity. Her curiosity battled with disappointment, leaving her feeling isolated. She didn’t know where to go or to whom she should ask. All of this felt complicated and exhausting.

Ava, still standing frozen, began to realize the absurdity of the situation. She decided to go and grab her phone, hoping to find some other news that could distract her from her confusion. As she opened her social media page, she felt the need to take a break from all the overwhelming thoughts.

Just as she logged into one of her accounts, she suddenly saw a post from someone she knew very well—Logan. Her heart raced, and curiosity surged again. Without realizing it, she clicked on the post.

Ava saw Logan and Sophia taking a romantic photo in a beautiful place, somewhere not far from the penthouse where she and Alexander lived. Suddenly, a wild idea surged from within her, pushing her to react to what she saw.

"Logan, why do you always appear at times like this?" she thought, feeling a bit annoyed with herself. "Why do I still care?"

She read the caption written by Logan: \[Back from a trip and ready for new challenges!\]

"If only I could forget all this," she whispered to herself. "But why can't I? Even after everything that has happened."

Ava rubbed her face, feeling trapped between nostalgia and reality.

"What should I do? Why can't Alexander understand that I just want to sort this out?"

She sighed. "I need to talk to Alexander. But what if that only complicates things further?"

"Stop thinking like that," she encouraged herself. "You’ll never know unless you try. Maybe he needs clarity too."

Ava looked at her phone screen again, trying to gather her courage.

"Yes, I have to do it. This will only torment me more if I keep avoiding it."

Ava prepared herself to talk to Alexander, trying to seek clarity even though fear still loomed in her heart.

"I can do this," she whispered, trying to reassure herself.

Ava immediately left the penthouse. She stood up, grabbed her small bag, and quickly headed to where Logan and Sophia were. As Ava exited, Alexander saw her and quickly followed her out.
