Because I Was an and He Threw Away 195

Chapter 195 Running Into Alexander 

Emily scanned the busy crowd left and right, searching for any sign of him. 

But when she looked forward, there was Alexander- striding toward them with his hands in his pockets, his usual arrogance on his face. A lollipop hung from his lips, making one cheek puffed and rounded. 

He stopped right in front of them, not even glancing at Emily; he just looked down at Tommy with a casual tilt of his head. “What, kid?” 

Tommy sidled up beside him, linking his little finger with Alexander’s. He opened his mouth to speak, but Molly beat him to it, her eyes lighting up. “Sir! It’s you! How do you know Tommy?” 

Alexander’s expression softened instantly as he turned to Molly, a warm, genuine smile breaking through. “I’m a close friend of Tommy’s dad.” 

Molly’s face lit up with understanding, and she grabbed Tommy’s hand excitedly. “Perfect! Then let’s all play 14:26

Before Tommy could protest, Molly was already dragging him toward the next ride. 

The two kids were classmates from the same kindergarten -they knew each other well. 

As they dashed ahead, Emily called out anxiously, “Molly, slow down! Don’t trip and fall!” 

Molly waved back without stopping, pulling Tommy onto the trampoline, where they jumped around wildly, giggling with pure, unadulterated joy. 

Emily turned to Alexander, but he averted his face, offering only a sharp profile, his jaw set stubbornly. 

Still, she spoke up softly, “Vanessa told me everything about last night. Whatever the case… thank you.” 

Alexander didn’t respond. He didn’t even look at her. 

He just stood there beside her, staring off into the distance. 

“Alexander?” She tried again, a touch louder.

Still nothing. 

She knew he could hear every word, and she knew he was ignoring her on purpose. 

With a calm, measured breath, she continued, “Please don’t send anything else to Carter Manor. I don’t need those things.” 

Alexander remained silent. No matter what she said, he refused to engage. 

His cold shoulder made her wonder if Vanessa had gotten it wrong. Was it really him who sent her to the hospital last night? 

But Vanessa wouldn’t lie to her. 

Emily couldn’t figure out what had put him in this sulky mood, and she wasn’t about to pry. 

They came from entirely different worlds, their paths rarely crossing. 

In truth, this distance felt like the simplest outcome–the easiest way to keep things simple.

Worried about Molly on the trampoline, Emily headed over to keep a closer eye on her. 

As soon as she moved, Alexander followed silently, staying a few steps behind. 

When the kids finally tired of jumping, Molly hopped down and tugged at Emily’s sleeve. “Aunt Emily, water, please!” 

Alexander wasn’t exactly prepared for taking care of kids–he hadn’t brought any drinks. Luckily, Emily had packed an extra bottle of water and gave it to Tommy. 

After gulping down her share, Molly suddenly grabbed Alexander’s hand instead. “Mr. Lessing, come ride the big airplane with me! Aunt Emily’s hand still hurts–she can’t go on with me.” 

Alexander’s serious look melted into a gentle grin. “Sure thing, honey.” 

Molly beamed, skipping alongside him as she pulled him toward the soaring swing ride. 

Qnce strapped in, Alexander held her securely in his lap.27

Tommy stayed behind, saying he was scared of heights. Molly teased him for being a coward, but he didn’t back down. 

Emily settled on a nearby bench with Tommy, phone in hand, capturing every joyful moment as Molly soared higher and higher. 

Up in the ride, though, Molly wasn’t screaming with excitement. Instead, she gripped the safety bar and asked seriously, “Mr. Lessing, did you come here to see Aunt Emily?” 

He chuckled softly, “Yeah, but don’t tell her. She’s still mad at me.” 

It wasn’t Emily who was angry–it was Alexander nursing his own grudge over how she’d defended Ethan that day. 

Molly peered down at the sprawling park below, her little voice thoughtful. “But Aunt Emily’s super nice. If she’s upset with you, you must’ve done something wrong.” 

Alexander paused, reflecting for a moment before murmuring, “You’re right. I guess I didn’t push hard enough.”

He spoke vaguely–his words went right over Molly’s head–but she nodded wisely, like a little grown–up. “Then just keep trying! Our teacher always says to persist and give it your all. That’s how you become a good kid.” 

Alexander laughed warmly, ruffling her hair. “Got it. I’ll definitely persist—and give it my all.” 

Molly puffed out her chest proudly. “Well, you better! Aunt Emily’s really popular. Just the other day, another super handsome man drove her home.” 

Alexander tensed instantly. “What?” 

“Yeah.” Molly nodded matter–of–factly. “Mr. Thomas. He’s good–looking too, and my grandpa and grandma really like him a lot.” 

Alexander knew exactly who she meant–Aaron—and a surge of jealousy flared in his chest. Swallowing it down, he leaned in in a conspiratorial tone. “Okay, be honest with me. Between me and Aaron… who’s more 

handsome?” 

Molly scrunched her face up in deep thought. “You’re both handsome!”

He pressed gently, “But if you had to pick one?” 

Molly whispered, “I won’t choose. I just want Aunt Emily to be happy. She never smiles when she’s with 

her husband now. I don’t like him. I want her to have 

someone who makes her smile every single day.”
