Chapter 61 I Trust YouÂ
Alexander had always been a charmer when dealing withÂ
Women.Â
+14 BonusÂ
Whenever he met an ugly one, he’d compliment her figure. If the figure left something to be desired, he’d praise her eyes. When her eyes weren’t appealing, he’d comment on her gentle smile. And for those who rarely smiled, he’d dub them ice–maidens.Â
Women outside were crazy about him, saying he was a real hunkÂ
and a riot.Â
However, Emily stood out as the first to be spooked by him.Â
With that in mind, Alexander sat upright in his seat, hands off Emily.Â
Out of the blue, a shadow flitted past the car, and the passenger–side door flew open.Â
“Emily, hop out,” Aaron called.Â
At his words, Emily fluttered her eyes open and promptly grabbed Aaron’s hand to get out.Â
She didn’t plan on getting in Alexander’s car. He’d whined aboutÂ
the swarms of mosquitoes in the countryside and suggested they have their chat inside.Â

Little did she know she’d fallen for his trick.Â

Once Emily was out, Aaron stepped in front of her protectively. Glowering at Alexander, he snapped, “You look like a proper gentleman, but don’t you know it’s illegal to force someone?”Â
Alexander, with his hands casually resting on the steering wheel, arched an eyebrow and drawled, “Are you dissing me?”Â
Aaron shot back, “Yes.”Â
Rather than getting riled up, Alexander let out a chuckle, showing off his pearly whites. “Planning to throw a punch at me,Â
too?”Â
Aaron didn’t mince words. “Yes.”Â
Alexander took his hands off the wheel, leaned over a bit, and said, “Come on, keep it in your head. No actual moves, okay? If you don’t, my baby here’ll be begging me left and right. I’m crazy about her. Can’t stand seeing her beg for some other dude. I’d be so jealous, it’d eat me up.”Â
With vivid descriptions in his words, Alexander came off as a more charming rascal.Â
He spoke so earnestly that there was no sign of falsehood.Â
Aaron wasn’t keen on a confrontation. All that concerned him was Emily’s safety.Â

Moreover, he grasped what Alexander was implying.Â
It must be that Emily had spoken to Alexander about his discharge from the hospital for his sake.Â

Aaron knew that Emily was extremely worried about him, yet he didn’t want her to lower herself.Â
So, he took her hand and said, “I need to talk to you.”Â
Without any objection, Emily followed Aaron.Â
As she turned away, Alexander squinted his eyes, and his smile broadened. “Sweetheart, give me a call once you’ve made your decision. I’ll come right away.”Â
Then he let out a loud laugh, stuck his head out, and added, “Sweetie, you were so adorable when you shut your eyes, waiting for my kiss.”Â
Emily scurried after Aaron, with Alexander’s wild laughter ringing in her ears. Her back was soaked with sweat.Â
The sound of Alexander’s voice trailed off only when they rounded the corner.Â
Coming to a halt, Aaron swiveled towards Emily. “Emily, don’t you have faith in me?”Â

He’d repeated time and again that Andrew and the gang would beg him to go back to the hospitalÂ
Yet, it appeared Emily hadn’t really bought into his words.Â
Noticing the disappointment clouding Aaron’s eyes, Emily wore a worried look. “No, it’s just that this whole mess kicked off because of me. I was thinking…”Â
Before she could finish speaking, Aaron gently took her arms. Locking eyes with her, he said with conviction, “Emily, just give me this one chance. I’ve got something up my sleeve.”Â
Hearing that, Emily bit her tongue. She flashed him a smile. “Alright, I trust you.”Â
Aaron grinned back. “It’ll be over before you know it.”Â
Emily nodded, a soft sigh escaping her lips as if a weight had been lifted off her shoulders.Â
Aaron didn’t have a silver spoon in his mouth or any big–shot connections. He’d clawed his way to his current position through sheer hard work and study.Â
Although Emily was in the dark about his plan, hisÂ
self–assurance was contagious, so she decided to put her trust inÂ
him.Â

Over at Joy Gardens, in the study Ethan slammed the phone down and fixed his gaze on it, waiting for a response that neverÂ
came.Â
A knot of unease tightened in his gut, and his mood went fromÂ
bad to worse.Â
The memory of Emily’s dismissive snort on the call made him squint his eyes.Â
If Andrew’s intel was on the money, Emily was right then and there with Alexander.Â
She could date anyone under the sun, but Alexander was off–limits.Â
With that thought burning in his mind, Ethan grabbed his phone and punched in Lucas‘ number.Â
“Track down Emily,” he barked.Â
Before Lucas could even get a word in, Ethan hung up.Â
It wasn’t long before Lucas called back.Â
Ethan snatched up the phone in a flash, only to hear Lucas say, “Mr. Wilson, I can’t pin down Mrs. Wilson’s location.”Â
After a brief moment of pondering, Ethan shot back, “Then findÂ

Alexander.”Â

Lucas called again shortly, “Mr. Wilson, I can’t get a bead on Alexander either.”Â
Ethan’s temper flared up even more. Without a single word to Lucas, he hung up and instantly tried to call Emily.Â
But just as the call started to ring through, he changed his mind and hung up. Then he sent a video call instead.Â
