Chapter 33 Chapter 33 The bathroom door was forcefully pushed open , startling Aveline , who had just finished fixing her hair . She looked at him nervously and said , You … Before she could finish her sentence , she saw Alexanders bare upper body , his strong physique unexpectedly intruding into her field of vision . Even though they almost had a child together and hadnt seen each other for over a year , Aveline still felt a bit uncomfortable seeing him like this . She quickly averted her gaze . His shadow loomed over her cheek , his unique scent carrying a hint of warmth . Aveline instinctively curled up her body , staring at him warily . What do you want ? Alexander slowly bent down , his deep black eyes fixed on her pale cheek as he asked , You said you were sick before . What kind of illness did you have ? Aveline met his inquisitive gaze , feeling a mix of emotions . Those eyes were not mocking , disdainful , or cold . He genuinely cared about her condition . In that moment , Avelines emotions were complicated . She suddenly had a thought , would Alexander feel even the slightest bit guilty about what he had done if she told him now ? Seeing her hesitation , Alexander lowered his body even more , their distance now within arms reach . His gaze seemed to see through everything . Well ? Speak , he urged . Aveline panicked , feeling extremely nervous . She licked her lips and said , I … Alexanders phone rang , it was Noras exclusive ringtone , and it had been Avelines demon for over a year . When they were together , whenever he heard that ringtone , no matter what Alexander was doing , he would rush to Nora without hesitation . Even now , whenever Aveline heard that ringtone elsewhere , it made her both nervous and uneasy . Today , that ringtone felt like a bucket of cold water being poured on her , leaving her icy cold from head to toe . 22:25 Refusing To Be His Perfect Replica , I Choose The Arranged 4.39 % Chapter 33 She deserved to be hurt so many times , she was just asking for it . After answering the call , Alexander looked at her again , and Avelines gaze had changed . The internal struggle in her heart quietly dissipated , leaving only calmness . She spoke again , Its nothing , just caught a cold and stayed in the hospital for a few days . Alexander thought about the withered flowers in their new home , so he assumed she had caught a cold during those days she didnt come back . It had been three months since they last had contact . He had no idea she was hospitalized . His heart still couldnt control the slight pain , as if being pricked by a needle . He even felt a hint of guilt . No wonder she had become so thin now . You … Alexander opened his mouth , but didnt know what to say . Their current relationship didnt allow him to speak words of concern . Its all in the past , Alexander . Weve reached the point where we cant stand each other anymore . Why hold on ? Lets get a divorce , Im really tired , she said . Not mentioning divorce was better , but once she brought it up , it made him think of her smile at Ryan in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Ryan was like a spark in Alexanders heart , gradually spreading like wildfire . Every time she asked for a divorce , Alexander felt that she was eager to be with Ryan . Aveline heard a cold laugh escape his throat . He held her chin and said word by word , Whether we divorce or not , its up to me to decide . You havent suffered enough yet , so how can I bear to let you go ? After saying that , he let go of her and went back to the bathroom , his eyes filled with boundless hatred . Not finding any other unnecessary hair on the bed , he realized that he had been worried for nothing . She was only thinking about getting a divorce . Was that man really that good ? Three months ago , she was still kneeling in front of him , desperately begging him not to divorce . Now , she could say she couldnt stand him anymore with a straight face .
