Chapter 628 Unworthy Of Comparison With My Wife

The instant Wesley heard Alexander’s request, his expression changed imperceptibly. “Uh...”

“My wife is pregnant, so she can’t be exposed to cigarette smoke, Mr. Ford.”

Alexander’s voice was even, and he did not sound livid. Yet, Wesley still broke into a cold sweat.

Not daring to say anything further, he nodded fervently. “Got it, Mr. Xenos. I’ll have someone arrange for another private room right away!”

After saying that, he whirled around and went into the private room. Then, he came out and looked for the hotel’s manager to ask for a different room.

Alexander stood at the side and watched it all expressionlessly.

It’s impossible for him to have failed to perceive that Sophia is pregnant. But still, he had someone arrange a room that isn’t non-smoking. He’s clearly not attentive enough. Sure enough, he’s overestimating his importance now because he has been the local despot for too long a time.

Tilting her head sideways, Sophia looked at the man. Seeing that he remained silent, she reached out and tugged at the hem of his shirt. “Is this really okay?”

Alexander gazed down at her. “Why is it not okay? You’re pregnant and can’t be exposed to cigarette smoke.”

In the past, he smoked occasionally, but ever since Sophia fell pregnant, he had already quit the habit. At present, he did not like the stench of secondhand smoke either.

Since he had said so much, Sophia did not say anything further.

Oh well, what’s there to complain about my own husband loving me too much? Besides, he’s been germophobic since years ago. If Felix were in charge, the interior of the private room would’ve been sparkling clean without a hint of cigarette smoke. This Wesley guy is just too sloppy. I wonder if it’s because Alexander hasn’t flexed his power for too long a time that he doesn’t take him seriously or if he’s been the local autocrat for too long and truly thinks that Odyssey’s headquarters are too far for its influence to reach him.

The ventilation in the hotel’s private rooms was poor in the first place. Worse still, it was winter then, and the indoor heating was turned on.

If one could not curb the urge to smoke,

one could have left the private room and satiated one’s addiction in the corridor. No one would have blamed him.

However, those in that private room did not bother budging and smoked in their seats instead.
