Chapter 232 So bossy
“Stephan, you’re so bossy.”
“If I weren’t a little domineering with you, you’d never know how desperately I want to make you my wife!”
Stephan’s heart was deeply moved. She stared blankly at the man’s handsome face. “Really?”
Stephan stared at her, his eyes brimming with sincerity. “Really, I want it so bad. More than I’ve ever wanted anything in this world.”
Alana lowered her eyes, her heart filled with anxiety. “What if, after we’re married, you stop being kind to me? What if you stop cherishing me?”
Most men stop caring once they’ve got what they want.
Wasn’t that exactly how her parents were?
They stopped loving each other not long after getting married. Arguing over every little thing, always at each other’s throats...
“Lana, look at me, I’m more than a 100% confident in my feelings for you. My feelings for you will never change. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, I want to spend the rest of my life worshipping the ground I walk on, if any day, I stop cherishing you, it means I’m no longer in this world.”
Alana gasped. “You...why are you suddenly talking about death.”
“Because I hope to die before you do. I cannot live with you.”
She was moved to tears by his words. “How am I supposed to live with you then?”
Stephan smiled. “Then we could die together.”
“Stop talking about death!” She thundered.
Jesus! She was still very young.
“Fine, fine, I’m not wishing for any one of us to die, I want us to grow old and grey, to be together, forever.”
That felt better to hear.
“Also, if anyone should be scared of getting abandoned, it should be me.”
Alana frowned. “What do you mean?”
“While, I’m sure that I will never leave you, I don’t completely sure you would never leave...I might not even be the number one man in your heart.”
Alana wrapped her arms around him, looked up at him, and blinked her beautiful, clear eyes as she said earnestly, “No other man can take your place in my heart!”
Those words really pleased the man.
Stephan raised an eyebrow. “So, does that mean I’m the number one man in your
heart?”
Alana nodded. “For now, yes.”
Stephan gave her a half-smile. “What do you mean, ‘for now’? Does that mean it won’t be the case later?”
Alana blinked. “Well... that depends on how you behave in the future.”
Stephan snorted with a laugh. “Just know that I’d never let you go.”
*******
Stephan dutifully drove Alana to the entrance of her company.
Alana was just about to get out of the car.
But he pulled her back.
His dark eyes fixed on her, his expression clearly displeased. “What am I supposed to do? I really don’t want you to go into that company!”
Alana found it somewhat amusing. “Why?Don’t you trust me?”
“It’s not that I don’t trust you...it’s that I don’t trust that Cole guy! He’s got his eyes on you!”
“Last night, he kept telling me he wanted to compete with me on fair terms! Do you think he’s qualified to compete with me?”
“Of course not.”
Hearing this, Stephan felt a little better.
“Come here. Let me keep hold you more.”
Alana’s expression changed, and she immediately stepped back. “No, no, no...I can’t!”
“It’s not up to you to say no!”
The man lunged forward like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey, scooping up the little white rabbit and devouring her with a series of kisses.
Finally, Alana walked into the company looking utterly dejected, her face marked with the strawberry-shaped hickies the man had sucked onto her skin.
She thought to herself, filled with shame and anger, ‘This bastard...does he play these perverted games every day?!’
She couldn’t let him get away with this. She’d have to teach him a lesson later.
Lost in her thoughts, a furious figure suddenly burst out, raising a hand to slap her.
Alana dodged immediately, but the blow still grazed her arm.
She clutched her stinging arm and looked at the woman who had burst in. “Camila, what the hell are you doing, losing your mind first thing in the morning?”
Camila glared at Alana with fury, as if she wanted to tear the woman in front of her
to pieces.
“Lana, my older brother was in a car accident! He was supposed to have dinner with you last night. What on earth did you do to him? Why did he get into a car accident?!”
Alana’s head spun in disbelief. “What did you say? Cole was in a car accident?”
Camila clenched her teeth in fury. “Yes!”
“Last night, after finding out you’d asked him out to dinner, he spent ages getting all dressed up before heading out to meet you! But he left and didn’t come back for hours. At midnight, the hospital called me, saying my older brother had been in a car accident and was in the operating room undergoing emergency surgery!”
“Alana, what on earth did you do to him last night? Why did he get into a car accident?! Did you cause his accident?!”
Alana’s mind was spinning. “I...I didn’t...It wasn’t me who asked him out to dinner last night. I don’t know how he got into that
accident...”
Camila demanded angrily, “If you didn’t ask him out, then who did? My brother told me it was you who asked him out! It’s definitely your fault, so don’t try to act like you don’t know anything!”
Alana couldn’t bring herself to say that Cole had actually met with Stephan last night, nor did she know what the two of them had discussed.
“Camila, is this really the time to be arguing about this? What’s your brother’s condition right now?”
Camila glared at her. “He just came out of surgery and is still unconscious. While he was unconscious, he kept calling out your name! That’s why I’m certain you’re the one who caused my brother’s car accident!”
Alana was speechless. It was laughable that someone with such low intelligence could reach that conclusion.
“Believe it or not, your brother’s car accident has absolutely nothing to do with me.”
Last night, when Stephan took her away, Cole was still fine.
Camila sneered, “Just because you say it has nothing to do with you, does that make
it so?”
“Fine, then come with me to the hospital right now and confront my brother! If you’re involved, I won’t let you off the hook!”
Alana nodded. “Fine, let’s go. I have nothing to hide!”
Camila immediately grabbed her hand, trying to pull her into the car.
Alana shook off her grip. “Don’t worry, you don’t need to drag me...I’ll walk on
my own!”
Camila sneered, “Who knows if you’ll try to run away because you’re guilty!”
Alana couldn’t be bothered to respond.
Next, Alana got into Camilla car and went with her to a hospital.
She met Cole in a VIP ward.
His arms and legs were wrapped in bandages, and his face was covered in scrapes and minor cuts.
His face was pale, and he looked utterly weak.
She couldn’t understand how the man who had been standing right in front of her just last night, shouting at her to break up with Stephan, could be lying in a hospital bed in the blink of an eye.
The man on the bed had his eyes tightly closed, yet he was muttering to himself. “Lana...my darling Lana...”
“Lana, will you break up with that man?”
“Break up with him now...he’s not right for you...”
“He’s just playing with you...”
At first, Alana was too far away to make out what he was muttering.
It wasn’t until she got closer that she caught a few words.
She wondered: Could it be that last night, Stephan said something to provoke him,
causing him to act impulsively and accidentally get into a car accident?
Camila walked up to Alana and said coldly, with a hint of bitterness, “Just listen to this!”
“My older brother really has poured his heart and soul into you, he cares for you so
deeply that even while unconscious, he’s still muttering your name!”
“Alana, what exactly is so great about you that my brother cares so deeply for you?”
Alana frowned. “I don’t know what’s so great about me either, so why don’t you talk
some sense into your brother and tell him to stop caring so much about me? Okay?”
Camila glared at Alana again. If she could persuade her brother, would things have come to this?
“It must be that you’re seducing him again, making him completely devoted to you! You have a boyfriend and yet you’re still trying to seduce my brother? You shameless vixen, you slut!”
“Camila, I’m not going to argue with you about this nonsense! Your brother hasn’t woken up yet. He needs a quiet environment to rest. Are you trying to make him feel even worse by shouting and causing a scene right next to him?”
Camila denied it, “I’m not!”
