Chapter 17 The Secret Was Discovered

Chapter 17 Her Secret Was Discovered

"Alexander." Florence plucked up the courage, stared at Alexander's back, and made up her mind, "I know that no one can accept it. If you want to break up..."

"I have packaged everything; let's go home." Alexander turned around and smiled, "Florrie, is there anything else you forgot to take?"

Florence was a little confused, "Alexander, what are you..."

Didn't he want to break up?

"The doctor said that you are fine and you can leave the hospital." Alexander smiled and said, "I have completed the discharge procedures, and now we will go home."

Go home?

Florence had no home.

She could go back to which home?

The Scotts’ mansion?

Or the rental room?

"It should be all packed." Alexander saw Florence stunned; he smiled and walked over to hold her hand, "Let's go!"

Florence looked at him, "Alexander, did the doctor say anything else?"

"What else?" Alexander looked at her with a smile.

Could it be that Alexander didn’t know it?

Didn't the doctor say anything?

Florence thought doctors were responsible for protecting patients' privacy; perhaps Alexander didn't know.

But after her mental struggles just now, Florence knew that there was no impenetrable wall in the world. If the wind was going to penetrate sooner or later, it was better to make a choice when the feelings were not too deep to forget.

Florence withdrew her hand, and her heartbeats were fast because of nervousness, but she said calmly, "Alexander, there is something I want to tell you, five years ago..."

"Alright." Alexander interrupted her; he smiled to embrace her, "I will be there in the future, so I'm sure you won't be in the hospital again for sickness."

Alexander rubbed Florence's hair fondly, "Let's go."

Under Alexander's gentle gaze, Florence swallowed what she was about to say, but at that time, the low self-esteem took root in her heart.

She also realized that there was a crack between her and Alexander, which would cause them to fall apart at any time.

Florence didn't say anything more, letting Alexander hold her hand out of the hospital as if there was nothing had happened.

After getting in the car, Florence asked casually, "Where is Mr. James?"

"He left beforehand to deal with something else." Alexander started the car, "Florrie, are you hungry? I'll take you to eat first."

"Not hungry; I want to go back to the rental room and sleep for a while."

Florence was indeed not hungry; William had sent her food.

"Alright."

Alexander didn't say anything more.

Back in the rental room, Florence went to sleep.

Maybe she was a bit sleepy because of the medicine.

It was the first time Alexander came to Florence's rental room. It was a one-bedroom apartment with a living room connected to the bedroom, separated by a screen. The kitchen was next. The whole house was less than 30 square meters.

The room was small but clean and cozy,

It had the warmth of home.

Sitting on the sofa, Alexander glanced at Florence through the gap in the screen. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Seeing how Florence looked when she fell asleep, Alexander's heart was touched, and he walked over.

Florence slept very lightly. When she heard Alexander's approaching sound, she felt the mattress dented.

Alexander went on bed. Alexander's face was already close at hand when she opened her eyes.

Florence's heartbeat quickened suddenly, and her face became hot, "What are you doing?"

Alexander stared at her with affectionate eyes, raised his hand, and gently put the messy hair on her forehead aside; his voice was mellow and intriguing, "Florrie, give me a baby."

Before today, Alexander had never thought about having children. When a man decided having children with a girl, it meant that he decided to live with her all the lifetime.

Alexander almost lost Florence because of this incident, so he suddenly had such an idea.

The cozy home seemed to be lacking of something.

Florence was taken aback and looked at Alexander in amazement. At the same time, countless emotions and fears poured from the bottom of her heart.

Why did Alexander suddenly mention having a child?

"Having, having a child?"

The corners of Alexander's mouth rose slightly, with a hint of evil intention, "Let's have a daughter, a daughter as beautiful and gentle as you."

Was she gentle?

She was not gentle at all.

Florence looked at his deep eyes and felt guilty in her heart.

She turned her face away and kept calm, "It's too early; I don't want children."

Alexander twisted his eyebrows slightly, feeling a little bit lost,

But he could have imagined that. They had only recently been dating, and Florence had not yet fully opened her heart to him.

He was a little impatient.

"Okay, it’s up to you." Alexander embraced Florence without saying anything more.

Nestling in Alexander's arms, Florence stared out of the window, and the worries and low self- esteem appeared in her heart again.

In the following days, Florence recuperated at home.

Alexander brought food to Florence every day, accompanied her on a walk after dinner, and they looked like a couple in love. Still, Alexander vaguely felt that Florence was faintly alienating him and keeping a distance from him.

After resting for a week, Florence returned to the company to work; she offended Giselle and Emmett because of the previous bracelet matter.

Emmett and Giselle had a relationship problem. Emmett's dream of becoming the son-in-law of his boss was about to break.

Emmett now hatred Florence very much; he made things difficult for Florence every day and made Florence work overtime until midnight.

Because of an 8-million bracelet, colleagues in the company secretly guessed whether Florence really had a rich boyfriend.

Colleagues were onlookers, they were not too close to Florence, but also they did not alienate her. They did not offend any of them. This was the way to survive in the workplace.

Evelyn persuaded, "Florence, would you apologize to Mr. Connor? If you were being tortured every day, the days will be tough."

"No." Florence knew very well that even if she apologized, it was useless, and she was not wrong, so she would not apologize to him.

Evelyn sighed and asked mysteriously, "Florence, what is your boyfriend's job?"

This was not the first person to inquiry about Florence's boyfriend. Florence has also heard the rumors in the company several times.

Florence knew what Evelyn was thinking, and she smiled, "Just an ordinary person who drives online car-hailing."

Evelyn didn't believe it, "Florence, you didn't tell me the truth, right? You didn't treat me as a friend? I even pleaded for you that day."

Florence smiled helplessly, "I really didn't lie to you, this is the truth."

She also told the truth because Evelyn supported her.

Evelyn pouted her lips, "Can those Uber drivers afford bracelets of 8 millions?"

"That is not real but a high imitation item." Florence smiled, "Maybe it is more real than Giselle's, so it was not found to be fake."

Since there was already a high imitation item, there might also be another one.

Evelyn was suspicious, "Where did your boyfriend buy it? How much?"

"I don't know where he buy it. I will ask him later. It's not expensive, just a few hundreds dollars."

It was about time to leave work, Florence handed over the completed work to Evelyn, "I have something to do today, so I will leave first, or I will be caught by Mr. Connor to work overtime again. Could you please help me to submit?"

After keeping a low profile for so many days, Florence finally caught the opportunity to fight back.

She said that she would seek revenge on Allison for the incident in which she was almost drown.

Florence slipped out of the company, took out her mobile phone and called Lincoln, "Dad, let's have a meal together tonight, I have a way to solve the company's capital chain problem."
