Chapter 761 Just an Ex-Husband

Both Carissa and Rebecca were stunned again at what Alex said. Who could have imagined that Alex would dare to say such things right in front of everyone?Carissa was still in utter shock from hearing Alex’s relentless teasing, while Rebecca was feeling extremely uncomfortable.Her ex-husband, who was also her boss, was sitting right next to her. Couldn't her brother have some decency with his words?Of course, it was also partly her fault for not having any memories of Daniel being her ex-husband. If she had the slightest recollection of their complicated past, even just a tiny bit, she wouldn't have let him sit here so comfortably and eat with them.Daniel wasn't offended by Alex's words.He had just wiped his hands clean with a warm towel and still wore a smile on his face."What Alex said is not wrong, although I don't see any problem in doing these things for Becca. Just like how he thinks that it’s only natural to do these things for SUN, it’s also natural for me to do

Chapter 762 Dazed

"Why did Rebecca ...," said Carissa.She watched as Rebecca hurried out of the dining room. She was worried about her. "Should we call or send her a message to check if she is okay? What if she has a stomach ache? We could buy some medicine for her," Carissa said.She thought Rebecca was genuinely feeling unwell.Although Alex hadn't spent as much time with Rebecca as Caleb had, a quick glance at the expression on Rebecca's face when she left with a grumpy look made him realize what was going on.He calmly pressed the elevator button. "There’s no need. If there's anything that she needs, Caleb can take care of it. We don't need to worry about that."Carissa wanted to say something but stopped.Alex looked at her, then added reassuringly, "Don't worry, everything is fine. She just ate too much just now and couldn't leave early. Plus, we kept teasing her ex-husband. She couldn’t bear it anymore, so she ran away. With the way she ran away just now, it doesn’t seem like she is sick."

Chapter 763 Vicious Cycle

Carissa knew something very clearly in her heart.In the past, what she hated the most was when someone relied on their family's wealth and acted as if they were the most good-looking guy in the world while thinking that every girl would fall for them.At this moment, Alex did look like one of those privileged babies who benefited from nepotism.If he were to hold a cigarette in between his fingertips, he would embody everything Carissa despised.However, strangely enough, she didn't feel any disgust when she looked at Alex now. Instead, she found herself listening to him attentively.After some contemplation, she earnestly said, "To be honest, Alex, there's quite a difference between how you actually look and how I imagined you to be.""How so?" asked Alex."Perhaps my first impression of you has made me biased toward you. I always thought of you as condescending and aloof. Moreover, our conversations on WhatsApp have always been very formal. You usually use technical terms and

Chapter 764 Accompany You

However, Alex was aware that the cost of being a shameless person was to be ignored by the girl he liked.Judging by the current situation, it was not a crisis for him yet at this point. As long as he kept his virtue of being a good gentleman, he shouldn’t become as pathetic as Daniel. He couldn’t help but reprimand himself for having such thoughts.What was he thinking?Out of everyone, why did he have to compare himself to Daniel? Was it really necessary?Putting aside all the trivial matters in his mind, Alex lowered his head and looked at Carissa, who was sitting in the passenger seat.He casually glanced at her and said with a smile, "If that's the case, let's get to know each other again. I will need much of your help in the future, Miss Carissa."Carissa looked up and met his gaze. Finally, all the worries in her mind were gone.She didn't know what she was worried about.However, Alex fell into silence soon after saying that. Carrisa became more cautious. She was

Chapter 765 Coming Back Home

As soon as she heard Alex, Carissa was snapped out of her reverie.She turned and met Alex’s caring gaze, and in an instant, her uneasiness and anxiety disappeared.It was just a trip back home, not a matter of life and death. There was no need to fear it as if she was in danger.Carissa shook her head and pretended to be relaxed as she said, "No need, thanks, Alex. I'm just going home, and not going to a haunted house. I don't need my boyfriend to accompany me for now."She opened the car door but didn't rush to close it."It's getting late. You should go back to the hotel and rest early. Remember to send me a text when you arrive. I will go first. One day, after I have talked to my parents about it, I will take you upstairs.Meeting your girlfriend’s parents was no joking matter.For now, Alex was not merely a colleague; he was Carissa’s boyfriend. If he went up there empty-handed, she wasn’t sure how her parents would react.Moreover, she hadn’t even told her parents she was

Chapter 766 Bad Note

It was nine o'clock at night now, and the TV was showing the typical dramas that the older generations usually like.It showed scenes of a mother-in-law causing trouble for her daughter-in-law with a confrontational tone. The mother-in-law was standing on the moral high ground and criticizing the daughter-in-law for not being a good wife. She spoke about how other daughters-in-law served their husbands and criticized the daughter-in-law's actions incessantly.Well, it sounded horrible indeed.Carissa couldn't utter a single word. Because of Gina's words, Carissa came back to have a good talk with her parents. No matter if Gina's words were true or false, it was still bad for family members to have such tension.However, she did not expect things to turn out like this.She hadn't even stepped into her house and was already hurt so deeply.Carissa stood in place and listened to the characters on the television argue incessantly. She felt like she stood out awkwardly in this s

Chapter 767 No Big Deal

There were two doors at her house, but Carissa still left easily.She closed the wooden door first, and then resolutely shut the iron door, which left no room for second thoughts. The lights in the corridor were turned on by sensors due to the movement. Carissa stayed in front of the door for a while, but there was no response from the room.She took a deep breath and walked slowly downstairs. Moonlight seeped through the corridor window. The dim light went out and didn't turn back on due to her footsteps. She didn't know that the door on the sixth floor was pushed open again after she went down two flights of stairs; only a spot on the floor shone by the moonlight was there.When Carissa reached the second floor, she took out her cell phone. She clicked on an app and planned to hail an e-hailing taxi back to the hotel. At the same time, some embarrassing things were already on her mind. If she were to go back to the hotel, she would bump into Alex. Explaining things to

Chapter 768 Useless to Cry

Carissa released her emotions in Alex's arms for quite some time before pulling away. The pent-up frustration seemed to flow out along with her tears, and when she noticed the large wet spot on Alex's chest due to her tears, embarrassment replaced the previous emotions. It felt like she hadn't cried much since elementary school. Crying didn't seem to change anything. No matter how loud she cried, the food snatched away and thrown on the ground wouldn't miraculously return to her hands. No matter how hard she cried, she still had to go downstairs to prepare dinner alone and wipe away tears while eating. Her parents were always busy, and crying only brought them more trouble. They would look at her with impatience, threaten to take her to the detention center, and scold her for being a crybaby who didn't understand anything. Consequently, when she later sought help from the police, her heart was filled with mixed emotions.It was ironic that those who were there to help her

Chapter 769 Is This Okay?

Carissa felt somewhat discouraged when she thought about it.She went back home due to impulse after listening to what Gina had said.Before that, she had already mentally prepared herself for a long time.Otherwise, she wouldn't have stayed on the other side of the river that night and encountered Rebecca and the others, which had been dramatically captured, posted online and used as so-called evidence of the deals between the two clubs. Carissa didn't know when she would be mentally prepared next time. So, she couldn't figure out which day would be the right time."The right time could be when you lead the team to win a championship, or during the next important holiday, or even … When you are ready to take me back to meet your parents. If all else fails, you can wait until you're ready to marry me." Alex said this very seriously, with a hint of a smile in his eyes.Although he wore his usual easygoing smile, his eyes were extremely earnest as he looked at her. The tone of h

Chapter 770 Frustration

Carissa didn't know, and she couldn't give herself an answer now.Since it was already dark, she decided to go back and have a good night's sleep.She would then think about her concerns tomorrow.After spending some time by the roadside and taking a detour along the riverbank, the traffic on the street had lessened. Alex silently accelerated and quickly returned to the hotel.The official accommodation provided by the event was on the same floor, so Alex conveniently escorted Carissa to her room. He stopped at the door and said, "Get some rest in your room. Don't overthink things. Tomorrow is a day off. If you plan to return to the base early, go with the others. If you don't want to go back so soon and have no plans, how about joining me?""Sure." Carissa, having already calmed down, seriously considered Alex's suggestion. "I'll give you an answer tomorrow morning, okay?"Although she didn't know Alex's holiday plans, the idea of going out with him to unwind and get to know e
