Chapter 91: Stir The Pot
"Did you see how my daughter-in-law handled that situation? She’s definitely the one for Xander!" Rock exclaimed to Ben in his study, unable to hide his excitement.
Rain and Eric were currently chatting on the balcony over tea, and though Rock was itching to join them, he held back. He was far more interested in seeing how his stubborn son would react.
Ben shrugged, though a grin tugged at the corners of his mouth. "Where is Xander now?"
"Let me check," Ben offered, but Rock stopped him with a wave of his hand. "No need. Let’s take a walk and see for ourselves."
As they quietly made their way through the house, Rock’s suspicions were confirmed. They found Alexander lurking near the living room, quietly peeking out at the balcony where Rain and Eric sat, deep in conversation.
"This brat," Rock muttered with a smile. "What am I going to do with him?" He watched as Alexander pretended to search for something, but it was obvious he was trying to stay close to Rain and Eric’s conversation. The living room, conveniently, had the best view of the balcony.
Ben chuckled. "Looks like he’s more interested than he’d like to admit."
Rock grinned wider. "Exactly. He can deny it all he wants, but his actions tell the real story."
Rock stifled a chuckle as he watched Alexander pacing around, pretending to be casual while obviously trying to catch snippets of Rain and Eric’s conversation. "He’s hopeless," Rock whispered to Ben, grinning from ear to ear. "He acts like he’s not interested, but look at him."
