“No, I didn’t. I never promised him. You’re my husband!” cried Dorothy.

Alex said, “Do you think that I’m blind? I witnessed it!”

Dorothy said, “I… I didn’t, I didn’t mean to do that. I’m sorry, honey. Where are you? I want to see you. Let me explain and apologize to you. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t believe Spark. You can punish me or hit me. Please, let’s meet up.”

When Alex heard Dorothy pleading so desperately on the phone, his anger subsided.

But he gave it another thought.

‘Oh, crap! When Lord Lex put on a show at the Assexes, he addressed me as Master Alex. Does it mean that my identity has been exposed? The Assex family are bloodsuckers, they certainly want me to go back. Then, they will want my help to re-sign the billion-dollar contract with Thousand Miles Conglomerate. D*mn those fools, go to hell!’ he thought in his mind.

Then, he asked, “Did you come to apologize because you were told to do so by Madame Joanne?”

Dorothy said immediately, “No, I want to apologize. Honey, have you already forgotten what kind of person I am? I was worried sick when you didn’t answer my call. Tell me where you are now! You can make me do anything when we meet.”

Alex sighed and told her his location.

Then, he called Lord Lex.
