Chapter 276: Better Late Than Never
Once everyone returned to their villas, Rain asked Alexander to take a walk with her outside, drawn to the idea of strolling together under the moonlight. As they stepped out, Alyssa approached them.
"I just want to apologize to both of you," she said quietly, her gaze lowered. "For how harshly I acted earlier and for supporting Carla. I made a disrespectful mistake."
Alexander gave her a small nod. "Just be careful next time before jumping to conclusions."
Rain offered a gentle smile. "We understand, Alyssa. It’s easy to get caught up in things, especially when you trust someone. Don’t be too hard on yourself."
Alyssa looked relieved, nodding as she glanced between them. "Thank you... both of you."
As Alyssa walked back to their villa, Rain and Alexander continued their stroll under the moonlight.
After a few moments of silence, she took a breath and looked up at him. "So... how did you notice the mole?" Her cheeks flushed at the memory, and she gave a nervous laugh. She had an idea but still wanted to hear it from him.
Alexander smirked, drawing her closer. "I noticed it the night we made love when we were in that position," he said, his voice soft. "I had a better view of the back of your ear and recognized that familiar mole on your left ear."
He brushed a strand of hair from her face, his touch tender. "Thank you, Rain. For saving me, and for staying by my side."
