Refusing To Be His Perfect Replica I Choose The Arranged Marriage

Alexander comforted Aveline and walked out of the cabin. It was not until the door closed that Aveline's tense body slowly relaxed.

She opened her palms and looked at the sweat on them, and a helpless smile appeared on her lips.

When did she and Alexander become so defensive against each other?

They are no longer lovers, friends, superiors, or subordinates.

It was difficult for her to use an accurate word to describe their relationship.

As long as he didn't cause trouble for Bryce, they had escaped disaster that day.

On the deck, under the strong wind and rain, Bryce was already soaked to the skin.

Alexander looked him up and down. Facing his glance, Bryce stood up straight with his back, showing no intention of surrendering to him.

His pair of clear eyes rested on Alexander.

To be honest, people with Bryce's temperament are the type of people that Alexander despises the most. He looked so innocent and harmless.

So even if he wanted to do something like that to Aveline on the boat, Alexander only regarded him as a child and didn't take it to heart.

Now that Alexander saw him, he was more concerned. This man was brave and resourceful. If he hadn't acted fast, he would have succeeded.

It would have been even harder for him to find Aveline than to reach the sky.

After a while, it was Bryce who spoke first: "Mr. Sterling, what do you want to do with me?"

"I promised her I wouldn't hurt you, and I will keep my word."

Alexander looked at him carefully, but he didn't look afraid at all.

Alexander thought to himself that it was either he didn't mind being alive or dead, or he had long been sure that he would not hurt him, and everything was within his calculation.

Being seen through made Alexander very unhappy.

But he didn't show it, "I heard that you were injured and it's time to apply medicine. Come in and I'll have someone re-bandage you."

Bryce was obviously a little surprised, "You..."

Alexander snorted coldly, "Yes, I want to throw you into the sea to feed the fish,

but I don't want to make her sad anymore."

Jordan made an inviting gesture, "Please."

Bryce was very cooperative, but when he passed by Alexander, he paused and said: "Clearly, you have been hurt all over, but now you still have to act according to your deep love, You don't know whether you should be harsh or not. You are acting affectionately, but are pretending."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was pushed hard by Lucas from behind, "Move quickly, if you keep talking nonsense, I wil throw you into the sea and feed you to the sharks."

"Ah."

Bryce's mocking voice was very soft, and it was like a heavy stone hitting Alexander's heart.

Alexander clenched his fists tightly. He does not deny what he has done to Aveline.

He will use tens of thousands of days and nights to make up for it all, and one day Aveline will get out of her shell.

Time is the best weapon to heal scars.

Alexander didnot go back to the room. The image of Aveline attempting to jump into the sea kept appearing in front of his eyes. He knew that Aveline no longer loved

him and was more loved

He didn't dare to open the door and meet her eyes again.

He leaned against the wind shelter in the corridor and lit a cigarette.

His craving for cigarettes became more and more intense. After finishing the first cigarette, Jordan walked up to him.

"Mr. Sterling, we have sent that brat back to the port as you ordered."

Alexander hummed, "What was his injury?"

"He was injured by a sharp weapon, but the confrontation was so fierce that day and they were even shots from long range. Even if he was injured, it should only be a gunshot wound."

Alexander rubbed his mouth with a complicated expression: "What did the doctor say?"

"Everything is as expected by Mr. Sterling. Judging from the angle, depth, and curling of the skin, the wound is very deliberate and does not look like he was injured in a fight."noveldrama

Lucas looked questioning, "He was clearly not injured in the fight, so why did he cut himself? Is he suffering from a serious illness?"

"What if he is deliberately showing weakness in front of Aveline?"

Lucas immediately yelled: "Damn it, he knows of women being soft hearted. This man wants something to do with her, and went as far as to stab himself."

Alexander's eyes were dark, and he lowered his voice: "This young man is unusual. It can be seen that what happened on the boat earlier was no accident." "It's not an accident, it's deliberate!"
