Chapter 287: Only Want Him
Rain truly thought Carla would back down, but she didn’t. The woman still approached them, her confidence unwavering, and even had the nerve to call out to Alexander.
"Xander?"
Alexander turned, visibly surprised. "Carla?"
"I went to your villa this morning to apologize to you and Rain, but Aunt Ava said you’d already left for work. Since I’ve bumped into you here, I’ll apologize now," Carla said, her tone soft and her expression regretful.
"I’m sorry for lying. Please believe me when I say I didn’t know it was Rain who saved you. Whatever I say now might sound like an excuse, but it won’t change the fact that I lied. I truly am sorry," she added, her voice trembling slightly with what appeared to be remorse.
Rain simply observed her in silence. To anyone else, Carla’s sincerity would have been convincing... but not to her. She had to admit, Carla was a remarkable actress.
"It’s good that you’ve admitted your mistake, Carla," Alexander said as he stood up, offering her a polite nod. "I hope you can move forward now."
"I will," Carla replied with a small smile. "I also hope we can still remain friends." She turned to Rain and added, "I’d like to have a good relationship with you too, Rain. I’m sorry for being insensitive before. I hope this doesn’t affect the bond between our families. My parents and the Lancasters have been close friends for as long as I can remember."
Alexander nodded again, his voice firm yet cordial. "Don’t worry about it, Carla. As long as you’re not doing anything against my wife or jeopardizing the relationship between our families, we’re fine. Rain and I will head off now."
