Chapter 17 Chapter 17 I thought Alexander would be mad, after all, he's of noble status and rarely lowers himself. But he got rejected by a naive little girl like me. If i were het, she would be mad too. Who knew, Alexander heard her words and just smiled. No more second thoughts?" Alanna expressed her true thoughts, "I think the one who needs to seriously consider is you, Mr. Murphy. With your current status and wealth, what kind of woman can't you find? Why did you choose me? You might be impulsive now, but you will definitely regret it later." "I have no regrets," Alexander said succinctly. Alanna patiently reasoned with him, "Who knows what will happen in the future, just like Alfred, he used to say things like 'I will love only you for the rest of my life, but look at him now, he doesn't even treat me as well as he treats his dog' "I'm not like him." What's different, all surnamed Murphy. Alanna sighed, "If you really want to repay this lifesaving favor, just give me some money. If I can survive the surgery, I want to use the money to buy a house." "Take your time, no need to rush to answer me" The topic circled back to the beginning. Alexander looked into her eyes like the deep in the night mysterious and unpredictable. 'Marry me, it won't cost you much, I can lim a few benefit for yet" The man analyzed things logically, jum like presenning wides in meeting 'First, from now on, Alfred will call you "Auntie' when we mees, whanbus in the Murphy Family or surtide, no one will dare to bully you again. Second, after we get married, half of my house, cat, and more will belong to poly a willy woman. Third, and most importantly," Alexander paused for a moment," "Your biological father, Kareem Omega, died I know you we binns wearing batigue in that with your own abilities, you can't even compete with Karlie" Alanna suddenly looked up. I happened to fall into the man's deep bottomless eyes I have to say, every single one of the three things Alexander kand really his home for her Especially the last one. Yes, that's right. She was always curious about what happened the night Kareem died At that time, Karlie had just returned to the Perry family, things were still shaky, even if she was desperate to get rid of herself, there was no need to use such a dangerous method. So, she suspected there was more to it. What secret did Kareem hold in his hands about Karlie? Or what did Kareem say to Karlie? Anyway, her intuition told her. There must have been a reason why Karlie drove and killed Kareem, otherwise she wouldn't have risked going to jail for killing her stepfather whom she had lived with for twenty years. "People say I was jealous of Karlie and didn't want her to be happy, so I paid Kareem to ruin her reputation. Aren't you afraid that I've been to jail before? I believe that has nothing to do with you, don't worry, the truth will come out one day." "But what about your family.. My marriage, I can make my own decisions" 94043 6509 < Chapter 17 When it comes to this, Alexander added, "After marrying me, you don't have to worry about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, because my mother passed away long ago. As for my father, well, he won't have a say in my life decisions." You can tell that the relationship between Alexander and Reginald, "father and son," wasn't that great. I heard that Alexander's biological mother was a nurse who used to take care of Reginald personally. Later on, she got pregnant, but she was kicked out. It wasn't until Alexander was about to become an adult that he was taken back in by the Murphy family, which is also the main reason why Alexander and the Murphy family never really got along. Alanna hesitated, "Mr. Murphy, marriage is no joke, I just think it's too sudden." Menu "No worries," Alexander said very patiently. "I'm not pressuring you. Take your time to think it over, I'll be waiting for your answer anytime." That being said, when Alanna turned to leave, she slyly stuck out her toe and tripped her. Alanna was already distracted, and then she tripped and just lunged at Alexander.
