Refusing To Be His Perfect Replica I Choose The Arranged Marriage

Chapter 124

Even without looking, Aveline knew who it was. The man in the back seat was dressed in a perfectly tailored suit, accentuating his perfect shoulders and waistline.

The buttons on his shirt caught a glimmer of light in the dark night, just like the aggressive gaze in his eyes.

It was just a silhouette, but it was highly recognizable.

The scent of cedar on the man's body wafted into her nose, creating a hint of ambiguity in the cramped back seat.

She suppressed the urge to push the man away, focusing on her upcoming plan.

"Where have you been?" She broke the silence in the car.

When she let go of him, she no longer pay attention to his every move. She didn't refresh his social media or click on his profile to repeatedly check his latest updates.

If it weren't for Alexander arranging for someone to pick him up, she wouldn't have known that Alexander had gone abroad.

"On a business trip," Alexander answered concisely.

He had intended to mention Leo's matter, but he felt that discussing such a topic would spoil the current atmosphere.

She leaned against him, and her warmth spread to his thighs.

In this cramped space, their intimate posture uncontrollably ignited a sense of heat in their hearts. He couldn't wait to do something.

His slender fingertips moved along her delicate neck, leaving behind a trail of warmth.

Finally, they stopped at her brow bone, and he carefully examined her face, his voice lacking its usual coldness. "Are your injuries healed?"

Under the light from outside, she could see a small scar on her brow bone, barely visible without close inspection.

His rough fingertips gently rubbed her wound, and his warm breath lightly brushed against her forehead. "Thank you for that day."

Because she had saved jamic, he was rarely gentle towards her.

Aveline suddenly became curious about what expression he would have if she had killed Jamie.

Surely it wouldn't be as gentle as it is now. Just thinking about that day made her somewhat excited. She wanted him to experience the feeling of losing a loved one.

Her tone was indifferent. "It's nothing. I was once a mother too."

The arm around her waist tightened suddenly, and Aveline continued, "Has Leo been found?"

A trace of worry appeared between Alexander's eyebrows, and he didn't hide anything as he recounted the situation.

"I have already offered a reward, and we will find him soon."

The words fell on Aveline's ears like an excuse, and she had already expected the result.

He wanted to put Anthony to death, so how could he really find Leo's trace?

At that time, he made a deal with her, but it was just to restrain her.

She didn't expect Alexander to act so convincingly.

A mocking glint flashed in Aveline's lowered pupils.

Realizing that she didn't get the answer she wanted, Alexander knew that she must be disappointed, so he tried to console her. "I will definitely find him."

"Okay."

Aveline didn't want to argue about this boring topic and proactively changed the subject. "It's Jamie's birthday banquet in a few days. Can I attend?"

Alexander knew that the death of their child was a wound in her heart, and Jamie's birthday was also the anniversary of their child's death.

"You..."

Aveline raised her head, and in the dark night, the lights from countless households dotted her pitch-

black pupils. She licked her dry lips and said, "It's been a year. I want to move on."
