Cheryl’s expression turned cold. “Don’t speak of that person.”
Alex said, “I’m just trying to say that I’m essentially the same kind of person like your father.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m not a very devoted person in a relationship.”
“You… what are you trying to say?” Her body trembled slightly, as if she knew what he was about to tell her. Since the conversation had reached this topic, Alex simply opened up with her and said, “You know about Daya Stoermer, right? She’s the endorser of Lush Cosmetics. She had posted an Instagram post a few days ago. Have you seen it?”
“I saw it! So, that husband that she was talking about is you! Are you both married?”
“We aren’t married but she is indeed my woman.”
She was silent.
After a while, Cheryl nodded her head. “I understand.”
Alex was dumbfounded. He turned around and looked at her while having a slight worrying frown. “There is also the current CEO of Thousand Miles Conglomerate, Waltz Fleur!”
Cheryl said, “I saw that during the last medical exchange.”
“Dorothy Assex…”
“What? You haven’t broken up with her yet?”
“It can’t be broken! We’re just faking our divorce!”
“I… F*ck!”
The beautiful, dignified and virtuous doctor let out a cursed word after hearing it. She was really at her wit’s end. “Haven’t you suffered in the household of the Assexes? I even got slapped by your unreasonable mother-in-law! I got slapped for nothing!”
“Hence, compared to me, your father’s character may be slightly better than mine.”
“What actually are you trying to say here? Are you trying to say that you don’t want to hold any responsibility for hugging and kissing me yesterday?”
“I just want to tell you that I’m not a good person! I’m not a good match for you! I’m afraid I would drag you down and may even cause greater implications such as death threats!”
Three seconds later, Cheryl bit his shoulder.
Then, she angrily said, “What’s the point of you telling me all these now? Anyway, I’ve not thought of marrying you! And I don’t want to! There’s nothing good out of the men in this world!”
Alex felt much less guilty after saying the words hidden in his mind. Although Cheryl was a rare beauty who would also be a great wife, he was a man with a wife and mistresses after all. All kinds of contacts previously were already very dangerous, he did not want to harm a good woman like her. They were not people of the same world.
As he thought about it, his mind was clear.
Although there would be regret in his heart, it would still be better than hating him because of love in the future.
Swoosh!
He walked even faster and his figure was like a bolt of lightning while continuously moving around on the tree branches. It was because there were no more roads in front.
He had no choice but run up the tree to look for a way.
And, Cheryl was amazed by such an experience. Her heart throbbed continuously. Which woman would not like heroes? She was no exception. The strong and overbearing character of a man, the mystery of a man, and all sorts of a man’s performance surpassing the mundane were like a woman’s poison.
Once one was caught up by it, it’s incurable.
“We’re almost there!”
Alex stood in the canopy of a large tree while looking down on the mountain valley.
That was the place that James Coney mentioned. It was the former site of Ganoderma that was opened up when the people of Ganoderma escaped from the turmoil at the time and helplessly hid in the depth of mountains and forests.
However, at this moment, he suddenly realized that someone was in the valley.
“This is weird!”
“Did your grandfather ever tell you that there are people living in Ganoderma?”
Cheryl shook her head. “My grandfather said that it’s impossible. This former site of Ganoderma is very hidden and it’s inconvenient for communication to the outside world. Who would live in such a place?”
Alex said, “I’ll go in and explore. You wait here.”
Cheryl clung on his neck tightly. “I don’t want to. I’m afraid of heights and I’ll fall.”
