Chapter 194 - Is there any single man in this world? (1/2)

Stella couldn't believe Alex's shamelessness. It's not like they are little kids, she wonders what's with the wink.

She tried to think of different things that could make her avoid blushing, which she doubted to not have surfaced right now.

She couldn't believe their lips touch, ”is this really happening? I'm in Alex's house and not Shane's?” she muttered, holding the urge to pinch herself.

Her mind drifted to Liz, making her wonder who she is. She doesn't care about her being well dressed and all classy.  She recognized her outfit as a very expensive one, but not the type one wouldn't find in her mall.

She closed the door behind and went to lay on her bed, looking up at the ceiling and replaying her conversation with Alex in her head.

”Is it possible that I can still be with him?” she spoke softly.

Meanwhile.

Liz who was still in a daze felt Alex's hand on her shoulders, making her snapped her head to his direction and meet his smiling face.

He understands how the woman must have felt. He couldn't judge her for liking him, as one can't control their feelings when it comes to love.

The heart chose who it wants. But not every feelings should be fed of its want, because who we fall for aren't always the right person for us.

Also, there are some situations that wouldn't welcome those feelings. So, it's left for the host to make a wise decision and think well, observe whether the heart is leading him/her to the right direction.

Alex isn't against her feelings, but wanted her to understand her heart didn't choose the right person.

”we're friends, so I wouldn't lie to you.” he said and supported her to take a seat, which she did, while still deep in thought.

”Liz, like I said before, I'm not interested in women, because the woman I love was caged with another man against her will.

She's the one that got rescued and the mother of my child. I didn't know about her situation and hated her, which was why I stayed away from women, but I understand everything now and hope she will forgive and start afresh with me.” Alex explained.

Liz's eyes were filled with tears but nodded her head in understanding. It wasn't a random woman but his wife that got taken from him.

If she tried to act out of jealousy, she wouldn't get Alex in the end, as he would be hurting him again.

She's also a single mother and understand that she would have wanted to be with her husband if he was still alive. He didn't want to take that right away from Stella, in the name of being powerful and capable.

It's better to be friends than enemies. After a long silence, she finally forced a smile. Alex is the only man that piqued her interest after her husband's death.

If her heart is capable of falling again,  then there's a chance of it finding another person. ”I'm happy for you.” she said.

Alex smiled back at her. ”thank you Liz.” he said.

With her still red irises, she grunt out a chuckle. It's the first time Alex smile genuinely and she's glad she didn't think of affecting that.

”You're welcome. If you guys need help, don't hesitate to let me know.” she said.

”You don't have to worry yourself…”

”Alex.” she cuts in. ”we are friends aren't we?” she asked.

”I won't hesitate to ask ma'am.” he said with a smile.

”I should take my leave. I'm too old to be a third wheel.” Liz said and stand up.

”You just came.” Alex said.

”I need to think.” she opened up.
