Bring Your A Game, Mr

Chapter 1056

Chapter 1056

They were Alexander's trusted subordinates, which meant that they were vigilant and reliable in a fight. Alexander and the children would be safe in their hands.

"Everyone else will split up to try and find Elise's whereabouts. Alexander's ill so we have to take charge now!" Danny commanded the crowd with his booming, authoritative voice.

The Griffith men were all tough as nails.

"Leave the Hellens to me." Narissa volunteered to take on the most challenging task.

"I'll go with Narissa."

"I don't need you."

Jamie thought that it was only natural for him and Narissa to head out together, but as soon as he had spoken, she rejected the idea. He couldn't help but suspect that something was up when he recalled her unusual behavior this morning and saw the look in her eyes now.

Narissa didn't bother to look at Jamie. She kept her eyes forward and said, "What I mean is I can handle things myself. The Hellens don't scare me."

Jamie had a feeling that Narissa was giving him the cold shoulder, but he couldn't figure out why. He looked upset and aggrieved.

"You should go together." Danny had noticed that things were odd between the two, so he wanted to give them some alone time together. "It's better to have someone to back you up."

"Whatever." Narissa walked off.

Danny eyed Jamie. Hurry up and go after her.

Jamie nodded and rushed off. "Wait for me, Narissa."

Danny shook his head and turned back to Zephyr. "I'll leave Alexander in your care, Doc."

"Don't worry. I'll make sure he stays alive, if not for anything else, then at least for the fact that he's pretty generous," Zephyr joked to lighten the mood.

Danny smiled bitterly and helped to carry Alexander to the car.

They had just reached the foot of the mountain when Alexander woke up.

"Daddy, you're awake!" Alexia exclaimed in joy. Tears had pooled inside her eyes which made them shimmer in the light.

Alexander stroked her hair and wiped her tears away. "Promise me that you won't cry anymore. Your mommy's heart is connected to yours, and if you cry, she and your baby sister will be upset too. If they get upset, they won't want us anymore."

"Okay! I won't cry!" Alexia wiped her eyes with her sleeves.

Alexander smiled faintly before turning to Zephyr. "What wish did you make to the shooting stars last night?"

Zephyr looked up at the sky beyond the window. "For families to reunite on the day of the full moon."

Alexander looked at the sky as well. "What's the date today, Irvin?"

"It's the twentieth, Daddy," Irvin replied.

"I meant in the lunar calendar."

"The eleventh."

"Soon, it'll be the fifteenth, when the moon is at its fullest," Alexander murmured under his breath before losing consciousness once more.

…

Meanwhile, after a brief discussion, Jamie and Narissa decided to drive over to a stronghold near the Hellens.

Along the way, Narissa kept staring out the window without ever turning to look at Jamie who was driving.

Jamie couldn't stand it. Every few minutes, he tried to strike up a conversation.

"Narissa, if there's anything that's upsetting you, don't hide it from me. We're going to be married soon, so we should shoulder everything together, right?"

"Uh-huh."

"Seeing you like this makes me extremely worried. What's the matter, darling? Just tell me. I'm really concerned about you!"

"Mmhmm."

"Rissa, was it because of what I did last night when I—"

"You're getting on my nerves!"

Narissa finally exploded at the mention of last night's events. "Stop the car!"

Screech!

Jamie slammed on the brakes at once and pulled up by the side of the road.

Narissa slowly exhaled before turning around and staring evenly at Jamie. "Since you're so curious to know, I'll tell you. I wasn't the one you were with last night."

The coldness in her gaze made Jamie's heart prickle with pain.

He froze briefly before chuckling to hide how flustered he was. "Don't joke about that, darling. I wasn't feeling well last night so I went back to our room at once. I didn't go anywhere else so I couldn't have possibly been with the wrong person."

"But you went to the wrong room." Narissa felt as if her heart stopped beating. She heard herself saying, "I saw Alicia helping you out of the room."

Her eyes were glistening with tears.

The teary look in her eyes seemed to drown Jamie. His throat tightened up. He couldn't say anything.

He could predict what Narissa was about to say and true enough, he was right.
