Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 708

Alejandro did not deny it. “It’s something like that. Please take your seat. Feel free to order anything you like to eat.”

She glanced around. “I promised to treat you to a meal. Why does this place seem like your manor house? Are you treating me to a meal instead?”

Alejandro gave her a meaningful glance with his deep-set eyes. “It doesn’t matter much as to who’s paying for this meal. I just want to have a meal with you. Now that I’ve gained what I want, it doesn’t matter much.”

What he said made her slightly uncomfortable, especially the way he looked at her. She became nervous for an unknown reason. Why did he stare at her? To ease the tension, she took the initiative to start chatting with him. “Mr. Smith, may I have the liberty to ask why you helped me? We’re not from the same world. It seems unlikely that we’ll ever belong to the same world. You gained nothing by lending me a hand. Besides, you’re a businessman. Certainly, you wouldn’t do anything disadvantageous to you.”

Alejandro looked at her nonchalantly and asked, “Didn’t you claim that you’re not curious about that?”

She became tongue-tied by his retort. After gulping down half a glass of water, she managed to reply, “I came here after all. I’m just simply asking…”

He drummed his slender fingers on the table rhythmically and softly. He said casually, “It was because I wanted to. I think this reason should be fine. I always act according to my wishes.”

She looked up at him, realizing that he remained calm. She then picked up the fork and spoon. “It seems like we have the same tastes too. These are my usual favorites.”

It appeared as if Alejandro did not intend to eat anything. He just fixed his eyes on her. “Just enjoy it as much as you like.”

After the meal, Tiffany took a stroll with Alejandro in the manor house. Jett was there too. He helped push Alejandro’s wheelchair. They chatted with each other from time to time, but they did not seem to find a topic that they were mutually interested in. Besides, Alejandro was not a talkative person. Consequently, Tiffany felt slightly stressed and awkward. She wanted to excuse herself. Suddenly, she noticed a familiar figure from not afar. ‘Isn’t that Lynn pruning the flower branches over there?’
