Capture Her Heart After Marriage

Alexia hadn’t yet calmed down from the flurry of activity she just experienced when she suddenly heard him ask, her face showing nothing but doubt. "Why what?"

Chaim grunted coldly and turned to Alexia, grabbing her arm roughly. "Who told you to wear that necklace? Eve is being sent to trauma. Are you satisfied now?"

"What do you mean? Why are you asking if I’m satisfied?" Alexia asked, eyes growing wide, becoming exasperated by his words.

Chaim was making it sound like Alexia was desperate for Evelyn to be in danger.

"Alexia, before you came in to see Eve, did I not tell you, you weren’t allowed to divulge a single word about our relationship to Eve?" Chaim let go of Alexia like he was disgusted by just touching her.

Alexia took a step away from him and her back hit the wall, causing her to stifle a grunt in pain. "You said that, but I said nothing to her about us!"

"What about the necklace? Who told you, you could wear that necklace when you went out?" Chaim's thin lips pursed into a straight line.

Chaim's remarks stunned Alexia, and it took her a moment to find her voice. "You're blaming me? So, just because I wore this necklace and Ms. Chi saw me, you think you can blame me for Ms. Chi passing out?"

Chaim took a deep breath without answering, but the meaning was clear enough. He was blaming her regardless!

Alexia was completely enraged and cried. "If anything, you’re the one to blame! When you first gave me the necklace, you didn't tell me it was originally for Ms. Chi. You still hadn’t said anything, even though I've been wearing the necklace every day since! However, now that Ms. Chi has pointed it out you're blaming me! Don't you think you're being unfair?"

Alexia’s shoulders sagged, and large tears rolled down her cheeks. Soon her make-up had run all over her face, especially underneath her eyes, making them look pitiful and comical.

"Come on, stop crying!" Chaim pinched the bridge of his nose and gave her a disgusted look.

Her crying was not only noisy, but it also made his heart inexplicably seize up with her’s. Alexia’s uncontrollable emotion was getting on his nerves!

Alexia sniffled and slowly stopped crying. "Here, take this back!" She slapped the necklace into his hands.

"Alexia, what are you doing?" Chaim looked at the necklace, finally noticing the broken chain, and his eyes deepened.

Alexia raised her arm and casually wiped a tear from her eyes with her sleeve. "I’m returning the necklace to its rightful owner. I certainly don’t want it anymore.!"

"Returning it to its rightful owner?" Chaim frowned.
