Capture Her Heart After Marriage

Chapter 45 A Shared Secret

"A good face?" Alexia froze.

Stefan gave a sad smile. "Yes, you look like a person I used to know. She passed away but if I didn’t know any better, I would have thought you were her daughter ..."

When he entered the room, she startled him. Alexia looked too much like his past wife. Her eyes, in particular, were a spitting image of Ning's.

"That... Mr.... Chi, who are you talking about?" Alexia asked with a curious blink.

Chaim pursed his lips without speaking, examining Stefan, obviously wanting to hear the answer.

Stefan, however, waved his hand without replying, "It's all in the past. She’s been dead for over twenty years, so let's not mention it!"

"Okay." Alexia could see the deep pain hidden under his eyes and understood, asking no more questions, guessing in her heart that the person could be his former lover or his closest relative.

"It's getting late." Stefan looked at his watch and patted his trousers as he stood up. "Chaim, I'll leave first then."

"Hmm," Chaim answered in a clear, cold voice.

When Stefan saw he had no intention of moving to see him off, he sighed inwardly. It seemed there was really no possibility for Chaim and Eve. Otherwise, his attitude wouldn't be so cold.

The company's main business was to provide a wide range of products and services to the public. Thinking of that, even though Stefan loved his daughter, his heart couldn't help but feel a sense of resentment toward her.

After Stefan left, Alexia looked at Chaim and asked, "Chaim, is Ms. Chi awake?"

"Not yet. She won’t wake until late this evening," Chaim replied indifferently.

Alexia hesitated for a moment. "Then you’ll be going to keep her company this evening?"

Chaim wanted to reply he would, but when he saw her bleary eyes, his heart trembled and he was somewhat speechless.

After a couple of seconds, he responded. "It depends."

Little did he know that his answer, for Alexia, was no different from him saying yes.
