Chapter 142: The Trial
Rain frowned at Alexander, debating whether it was time to tell him about Elysium Biotech Institute or not yet...
"What’s with that look?" Alexander questioned, narrowing his eyes.
"What look?" Rain asked, raising an eyebrow.
"You look like you don’t want me to go with you," he pointed out with a pout.
’Damn, since when did this brute learn to pout?’ Rain thought, secretly adoring how unexpectedly cute he looked acting like that. Alexander was like a mysterious book she felt privileged to unfold day by day, each Chapter revealing a new side of him she hadn’t expected.
Rain shrugged and said, "It’s just that I have work to do there, and you’re being clingy and petty. I’ve known Clifford long before I even met you, Alexander. He’s like a brother to me."
"And is the feeling mutual? Does he see you as a sister?" Alexander shot back.
Rain paused but reiterated, "I trust him. Stop overthinking it. I thought after discovering that you’re Enigma and he’s Chubby, you’d see each other in a new light."
"Fine," Alexander sighed. "I just want to go with you and be with you. Will you accept that fact?"
