Chapter 87: What Do You Expect?
Aurora felt extremely embarrassed at that moment. She believed Alex was worried and cared for her because he had begun to like and accept her.
Nonetheless, all of that was so wrong. The truth is, Alex was worried about her because he didn’t want this contractual marriage to end before the contract period was over.
’Rory, what do you really expect? This man only cares about his wealth and himself. He will never show affection for you. Can you stop dreaming of those unrealistic possibilities? That someday he will love you? He won’t!’
A faint smile appeared on her face as she began to feel more like herself again.
"Don’t worry. I’ll always remember that..."
For a brief moment, Aurora met his surprised gaze, but soon, his surprise waned as he stood from the bed and moved to the window to gaze at the view below.
Looking at him standing there with his back facing her, she feels puzzled about what to do.
Many questions swirled in her mind, and her worry about tomorrow’s birthday party soon preoccupied her thoughts and affected her mood.
Aurora musters the courage to ask, "Alex, about our plan for tomorrow, should I proceed to attend?"
Deep down, she still clings to the hope that Alex will allow her to stay, especially since her head is still bandaged. Even though she doesn’t feel any pain at all, how could she show up there with a bandage on her head?
Rather than answer her, he asked, "Do you still feel any pain from your wounds?" His eyes were sharp on her as if he wanted to read her mind.
