Because I Was an and He Threw Away 267

Chapter 267 Be Your Lover 

With his head bowed, Alexander rubbed his face against Emily’s. 

Panic seized him like a wild beast, for he was deathly afraid she might never flutter those eyes open again. 

After waiting so long for this moment, the thought of losing her was unbearable. 

He murmured brokenly, his face buried in her neck, “Don’t doze off. I’m done being your lover, and I won’t badger you into marriage anymore. If you’re smitten with Ethan, go for it. Just get better, and I’ll lay off. Promise.” 

His voice was thick with sobs, barely audible above the thundering of his own heart. 

Chloe’s heart went out to Alexander. Placing a gentle hand on his shoulder, she said, “Mr. Lessing, Emily’s going to be okay. No need to freak out.” 

But Alexander was lost in a storm of worry and paid her words no mind. His soft, desperate cries filled the air as the elevator descended to the ground floor. 

Once the doors slid open, he bolted into the emergency department, cradling Emily in his arms like a preciou

no time. 

Still, Alexander couldn’t keep still. 

He paced the corridor like a caged lion, his shadow dancing on the walls. 

Then, a nurse emerged from the room. “Sir, your wife’s awake,” she said, a warm smile on her face. 

In an instant, Alexander was through the door. 

Emily was just coming to, her head still swimming. 

Before she knew it, she was wrapped in Alexander’s embrace. His body shook with sobs as he pleaded, “Emily, please don’t make yourself sick like this again. I’m so scared.” 

Tears trickled down his face, warming her cheek. 

As Emily’s mind cleared, she remembered what had happened. 

She’d always suspected Alexander’s affection was an act, but in this moment, she could feel the raw fear coursing through him. 

If he didn’t truly care, why would he be a blubbering mess? 

For a long while, Emily was rooted to the spot. Seeing Alexander so distraught, she relented. Lifting her hand, she 2/6 stroked his back. “Alexander, it’s just a cold, not the end of the

Instead, Alexander squeezed her tighter. “What I said earlier? Forget it. I still wanna be your lover.” 

Emily let out a soft laugh. “Alexander, don’t talk nonsense.” 

Alexander finally let go, his eyes locked on hers. “I’ll be your lover. I’ll shine your shoes, do your laundry, keep your bed warm, whip up some great meals, serve you soup, pour your drinks. Name it, and I’m on it.” 

At his words, Emily’s heart fluttered. Even if it was just talk, it 

touched her. 

Her eyes grew misty, and she averted her gaze. “Why would you lower yourself to do all that?” 

Alexander took her hand and placed it on his chest. “Because I’m head over heels for you. I have been for ages. Back when you married Ethan. I wasn’t messing around, asking you to be mine. It was the real deal.” 

Emily could feel his heart thumping under her palm. 

Blushing furiously, she tried to pull away, but Alexander held firm. “Feel that?” he asked. 

“Alexander, let me go first,” Emily said, her voice a little breathy.

her into his embrace. 

Bending his head, he no longer held back or restrained himself. Closing his eyes, Alexander pressed his lips against hers. 

His kiss was domineering and intense, like a powerful hurricane. His tongue slipped into her mouth, plundering greedily. 

He claimed every bit of her breath and every hint of her fragrance. 

By Emily’s ear, came his low groans and pleadings. “Baby, please, let me be your lover. I don’t need a title. Just let me be your lover.” 

Even as he kissed her, he was so familiar with begging. 

Emily’s heart was in a complete mess, stirred up by his onslaught. 

Her scalp went numb, her mind was in disarray, and she didn’t know where to put her hands. 

Her mouth was filled with his taste. 

It was as if Alexander wanted to transfer all of himself to her. 

In the end, he didn’t go any further. He just kept kissing her 4/6

She was still a married woman, not divorced yet. 

But somehow, there was a little spark of pleasure in her heart. 

Alexander was a man with power, wealth, good looks, and a great body. He was capable and skillful, and yet he seemed to have feelings for her. 

Even if it was just fake affection, Emily had experienced it. 

Closing her eyes, she was like a lamb at the mercy of the slaughterer, completely powerless to fight back. 

When Alexander had kissed his fill, he looked down at her, examining her carefully, trying to engrave every feature of her face in his memory. 

Since Emily didn’t answer his question, Alexander didn’t press further. Instead, he leaned in and gently nibbled at her ear, whispering, “You didn’t say no, so I’ll take it as a yes. From now on, I, Alexander, am Emily’s lover.” 

There was so much joy in his voice as he said this. 

Emily was too exhausted to protest and just let him he wanted.
