Chapter 57 – Send me a picture of her
Alex didn’t want to admit it, but Joanna’s actions that morning stirred up emotions he had long buried.
"It looked just like my mom used to cook for us when we were kids. I miss her so much. How is it that Joanna cooks like her?"
The comparison was difficult for Alex to make, and it upset him. If he started to see Joanna in the same light as his mother, it would make it challenging for him to stick to the contract.
This was the reason why he preferred leaving the mansion for her. He had others but the same problem lingered no matter where he went.
The sleeplessness and lack of appetite. This made him immense all his energy in his work.
Six months wasn’t too long for them to part ways without any complications, so why did Joanna have to complicate things by doing so much?
Alex did not want that. However, Aiden pointed out the error in Alex’s actions.
"Perhaps you should have tasted the food to confirm that it really tasted like your mom’s," Aiden suggested.
To him, Alex seemed to be overreacting, and things might not be as he perceived them. It was not all the time that Alex opens up about his problems, being the one with solution to everyone else’s problems.
