Revenge on My Heartless Husband and Daughter (Tiffany) novel Chapter 194

Thankfully–with Alexander’s help–my feet touched the grass.

“Richard, would you help Ava from the tree, please?” Alexander asked as he led me slightly away.

“Maybe you should put tree–climbing skills on your resume,” Alexander joked. “I never would have guessed that would be an ability of yours.”

Despite my earlier embarrassment, his good mood was cont

We laughed together, and the earlier tension between us felt like it had never happened. It was always so strange to me how up and down my relationship was with Alexander. I never knew what kind of mood this man would be in.

To my surprise, Gai came out of the house, too, and Alexander asked her to help Kelly and Aiden out of the riverbank.

Soon, Kelly and Aiden were cleaning their muddy shoes off with a hose in the front yard, and I walked over to Gai, who was wiping her hands on her jeans.

“Did you see Alexander help me out of the tree?” I whispered to her.

“Yeah, I was watching through the window.”

“Did I look as stupid as I felt?” I asked, even though I was afraid of what she would say.

It took her longer than it should to formulate her answer, and my stomach clenched with nerves.

“You looked…cute,” Gai finally said diplomatically.

Damn it. I knew that was code, for I had made a fool out of myself. Gai was just trying to break it to me nicely.

Alexander and Ava were standing a few feet away from us. They seemed to be facing off. Their postures were stiff, and they had their arms crossed.

“What are you guys doing here?” Alexander asked. “You’re pretty far away from the hotel,”

With the sound of the flowing river in the background and the scent of wildflowers swirling around us, the atmosphere was too romantic for my liking. Especially since Alexander had decided to be sweet and caring at this moment in time. I bit my lip as panic made my stomach clench, and I was unsure how to react.

The impulsive side of me was screaming at me to wrap my arms around Alexander’s strong body, press him close to me, and finish what we started in the hotel room. But the rational side reminded me that I had come to Osten Village for a good reason. And I couldn’t just ditch my friends because the guy that I had complicated feelings for was being kind to me for now.

“I’ll be more careful,” I muttered and averted my eyes to the ground. “I have to go.”

Then I turned and I ran to catch up with my friends before I did anything I could regret.

My body was screaming in protest the farther away I got from Alexander’s mysterious dark eyes and inviting body heat.

Once I caught up with Ava, I grabbed her hand and pulled her faster away. “Hurry,” I urged her.
