Chapter 113: Worth The Trouble
Rain gulped, feeling the weight of her own words crashing down on her. Alexander remained silent, and the longer the pause stretched, the more she wished she could take it all back. Her heart pounded, and she cursed herself inwardly. ’I shouldn’t have said that!’
The silence between them was defeaning, and just as Rain was about to glance over at him, the lights dimmed, casting the room in a soft glow. Alexander walked to his bed without addressing her bold comment.
"I cleared my schedule for tomorrow," he said, his tone casual, changing the subject entirely.
Rain frowned, feeling irritated. ’Why is he talking about his schedule now?’ She mused in frustration.
Alexander continued, "You should also take the day off if you want to visit your Aunt Melanie. We can go to the Clayton residence early so you can spend the whole day with her."
Rain jolted upright, suddenly more alert. "Really?"
Alexander, who had been lying down, sat up and looked at her. "Yes. If tomorrow doesn’t work for you, we can reschedule. But I thought it might be good to go early."
Rain blinked in surprise. "Of course I want to go! I’m just shocked you planned it so soon—and for the whole day?"
Rain couldn’t help but wonder, ’Why would Alexander offer to spend the whole day with her and her aunt? He could have easily just made a brief visit during dinner and then left. It didn’t make sense—unless there was more to his intentions.’
