Chapter 686: Chapter 686: Alexander Foster Stood Someone Up for Her

Chapter 686

Robert Foster was at a loss for what to do. After thinking for a while, he took a blanket from the cupboard and said, "Then I’ll sleep on the floor."

Watching him bend down to spread the blanket, Wanda Wesley felt a sudden tug at her heartstrings.

Without thinking, she blurted out, "Robert, do you... have a girl you like?"

"Huh?" Robert looked up, looking innocent.

Wanda stared at him, her smile a bit awkward.

Only then did she realize what kind of question she had asked.

Robert asked, "A girl I like? Do you mean a girlfriend?"

Since she had asked, Wanda simply nodded.

Robert continued to lay out his blanket and said, "No, I’m not done playing yet. I don’t want to get married so soon."

Wanda looked puzzled, "Does being in a relationship mean you have to get married?"

Robert replied as if it was a matter of course, "Of course, wouldn’t it eventually lead to marriage?"

Wanda was left speechless by this.

She said, "Many people break up after being in a relationship."

Robert raised an eyebrow, "I don’t want to be one of them. If I like a girl, I will definitely marry her. But after marriage, I can’t just do whatever I want, I have to bear a lot of responsibility."

Unable to refrain herself, Wanda asked again, "So, what kind of girl would you like?"

Robert thought for a moment and smiled, "All kinds are possible."

"And what kind of girl would you dislike the most?"

Robert tossed his pillow onto the blanket on the floor. He thought about Raine Nolan who lied persistently, and then Shelby Hamilton who appeared to be one way on television and completely different in private.

Afterward, he spoke with certainty, "I dislike liars the most."

Wanda’s face turned pale and her fingers slowly clutched the blanket.

Robert blinked his eyes, "What’s wrong?"

Wanda’s gaze was unfocused as she looked elsewhere. Her voice was so soft it was barely audible, "A liar..."

Alexander Foster had been in the bath for over an hour.

Chloe Collins had already read several pages of her book at what was a rather slow pace for her, yet he still hadn’t come out.

He took even longer than her.

Just as she was about to knock on the door, the sound of the hairdryer stopped and the door opened.

A hand reached out, grabbed the clothes, and took them inside.

A minute later, Alex came out.

His hair was already completely dry.

Robert’s clothes were all bright in color and a size small on Alex, which looked a bit mismatched.

Chloe placed her book on her lap and said to him, "You sure take your time when you shower."

"You noticed?" Alex raised an eyebrow.

Chloe choked a little, then said, "One hour and five minutes. I’ve never spent that long."

"It’s cold, the hot water feels nice." He said and walked over.

"What are you reading?"

Chloe showed him the title and said, "A detective novel. Do you like to read it?"

Alex said, "I have the complete series of this book."

Chloe, "Oh, in that case, I don’t have to buy it, I can borrow yours."

Alex was about to say something when his phone suddenly rang.

Both he and Chloe both looked at the phone on the table.

On the screen, three characters appeared clearly: Milton White.

The satisfaction on Chloe’s face vanished instantly, she turned towards him, her eyes filled with surprise.

This was the most startled he had ever seen her.

He picked up his phone and said, "I have to take this."

He walked to the window, facing the icy outdoors with an indifferent expression on his face.

As soon as the call connected, he remained silent.

From the other end, Milton White’s voice came.

"I’ve been waiting for you for three hours, don’t tell me that you’re not coming."

Alex, "Something came up. Let’s talk about it another day."

Milton White sneered, "What matter? Didn’t you fly back from Firenze just to meet me? Things are urgent, delaying even a day could be dangerous."

Alex said coldly, "It’s about Chloe Collins, nothing is more important than her."

There was silence on the other end.

After a long while, a voice came through, "Are you... serious about her?"

(The male lead ditched the second male lead for the female lead, leaving the second male lead feeling wronged. What a weird plot twist, I was stunned after writing it, haha...)
