Chapter 152
Lila looked at him and couldn't help complaining, "Why are you talking so much today?"
"What, you really don't want to talk to me?"
"That depends on what you're saying."
Alexander snorted coldly, his eyes looking her up and down, his words carrying a vague probing tone, "That Matt of yours, his family moved away when you were kids. You must have really missed him, right?"
Lila answered with a question, "Why are you asking about this?"
"Just getting to know Mrs. Sinclair's past. What, is that not allowed?"
Lila didn't respond.
Seeing her silence, he kept pressing, "Did you miss him or not? He always protected you when you were kids. He must have been like a hero in your childhood memories. Your feelings for him must be pretty special, right?"
Of course they were special. Matt was her childhood playmate, a precious friend in her heart forever—even more precious than Celeste was in Alexander's heart.
But she wasn't going to tell him that.
However, Alexander was acting strangely stubborn today.
Even though she clearly remained silent, he kept pushing, "Don't tell me you've kept your Matt in your heart all these years, never forgetting him?"
She stayed silent, not making a sound.
Alexander had never been this curious about anything before, but after asking several times with no response from her, he completely lost his patience and snapped coldly, "Speak!"
"This is my business."
"So you're admitting it?"
Lila froze.
Which ear did he hear her admit anything with?
Alexander's displeased warning voice reached her ears, "Lila, you're Mrs. Sinclair now. The Sinclair family has status in Oceancrest City. If Mrs. Sinclair has feelings for another man, what do you think will happen?"
"What will happen?"
"You'll be in trouble."
Lila's mouth twitched, "Mr. Sinclair, we're at my house right now. What can you do to me at my house?"
"Your house?"
"Yes, my house. My grandmother's house."
Alexander snorted coldly, saying dismissively, "You're my wife. Your house is my house."
Lila didn't know what to say.
When did he become so shameless?
As she remained silent, he spoke again, "But don't worry, I won't do anything to you here. But you should know, staying here is only temporary. When we get back to Island Mansion, if I want to do something to you, do you really have the right to resist?"
"You already said you wouldn't force me anymore."
"I won't force you to sleep with me, but as for other things, did I say anything about that?"
Lila glared at him, full of resentment.
Just then, someone knocked on her grandmother's door.
Both of them looked over at the same time.
Alexander saw an unfamiliar man and quickly shifted his gaze to Lila's face, wondering suspiciously, Is this the fourth man?
Lila saw who it was and quickly got up from the stone bench, a smile appearing on her face, full of surprise, "Rob, what are you doing here?"
Hearing her call the visitor "Rob," Alexander immediately frowned.
How many male friends did she have?
"I just ran into your aunt. She said you came back and brought a boyfriend, so I came to check it out," Robert Davis said.
The smile on Lila's face faded a bit.
Robert walked over, glancing at Alexander who hadn't said a word.
The two men's gazes clashed in the air.
Alexander had a detached, noble air about him, his eyes showing a hint of indifference, as if he didn't take Robert seriously at all.
