“I’m from Nebula City. I’m not working right now, I used to be a live-in son-in-law, but my divorced me afew days ago,” replied Alex nonchalantly.
Stannis was stunned at Alex’s answer. He did not believe him, but Alex did not look like he was lying.
In comparison to Lumenopolis, Nebula City is a much smaller city. And what did he mean by he was alive-in son-in- law?
Stannis had assumed Alex was an heir of a prestigious family in Lumenopolis. But there was no reasonfor Alex to lie in front of Stanley. It seemed like it was a fact that he was a live-in son-in-law.
“Divorce is not a big deal. Look, you have Ms. Grant as your pretty girlfriend now! may I ask where youare from?” Stannis switched the focus to Maggie.
“Lumenopolis,” answered Maggie matter-of-factly.
Stannis was elated when he heard “Lumenopolis.” It meant that his gamble did not f misjudged Maggieas being less affluent.
To think such a beautiful woman fell in love with a man who lives off women and has a five-year-ol Alexknows a bit of martial arts, it does not make sense for a pretty lady like Maggie to cheapen herself.
Ms. Grant,
A thought suddenly emerged in Stannis’ mind. If I work extra hard now, perhaps I’ll be able to win Magheart with my abilities someday.
“Ms. Grant, since you’re from Lumenopolis and Alex is from Nebula City, how did you meet him? Couldyou tell me more about your romantic encounter?” Stannis said with a laugh.
Maggie looked at Alex lovingly when she heard the question. Memories brought her to the time shewas selecting a Compass at Portabello Street.
Time flew, and more than a year had passed since then. Initially, she only admired Alex. But now, shewas hopelessly in love with him.
Perhaps this was meant to be; it was only a matter of time before she fell in love with an outstandingmant like Alex.
“Alex, shall we get married after this trip?” Maggie could not contain her emotions and blurted out thequestion.
At that moment, Stannis was shocked by Maggie’s words and stepped hard on the brakes, bringing thecar to an abrupt stop.
Alex reacted fast and quickly hugged Stanley, cushioning him from the impact with the seat in front ofhim. Maggie also knocked into the seat in front, but luckily it did not hurt much.
“I’m so sorry. I didn’t do that on purpose,” Stannis apologized profusely. “I didn’t notice the traffic lighthad turned red, so I braked late.”
“Be more careful next time,” Alex cautioned in a deep voice. He then turned toward Maggie and asked,“Are you okay?”
Maggie nodded. She was all right physically but felt a bit upset as her conversation with Alex wasinterrupted.
She could not bring herself to bring up the question again due to embarrassment, and she also lost theimpulse to do so,
Meanwhile, Stannis heaved a deep sigh of relief. He panicked earlier when he heard Maggie’smarriage proposal as he just decided to court her.
A lack of response from Alex gave Stannis confidence. It meant he still stood a high chance of winningMaggie over.
This was especially so as he felt no less inferior to Alex. When he courted Daphne back then, he spentsignificant effort learning how to please women. He had faith that those tactics would work on Maggietoo.novelbin
Thus, he planned to bring Maggie shopping after the trip to the amusement park and buy her somegifts. After all, he had two hundred thousand on hand; he could afford to splurge a bit.
Just as Stannis was daydreaming about his wonderful plans with Maggie, Alex suddenly spoke.
“If I’m still alive by the time we return to Nebula City, let’s get married.”
Tears of joy streamed down Maggie’s face when she heard Alex’s reply. If it were not for Stanley sittingbetween them, she would have hugged Alex tightly right then.
