Her Hidden Crowns (Suzanne and Austin)

Chapter 266

After that, Suzanne looked toward Alan and said, "Mr. Alvarez, let me feel your pulse."

Alan, who had just sat down next to Suzanne, paused for a moment. Then, he glanced at her with a sincere look in his eyes. "Truth be told, I'm not feeling unwell. I'm really sorry for getting you to come over here today."

Suzanne stared at Alan in surprise. She couldn't believe that he was being so frank with her.

She couldn't understand why he went through all that to summon her here. She furrowed her brows and asked, "Why did you get me to come here?"

Alan pondered in silence for a moment before answering, "So that the Yateses will know that I'm here to back you up."

Feeling a little worried that Suzanne would get mad upon hearing these words, he fixed his eyes on her. After all, it was true that he did so out of his own initiative.

A look of surprise flashed across Suzanne's face. Clearly, she hadn't expected that to be why he summoned her.

Alan was certainly worried that she'd be upset after being called to come over out of the blue.

She picked up the cup of coffee on the table and took a sip.

Alan continued studying her. He pursed his lips and then spoke up again, "News about me picking you up today will surely spread. When the time comes, the Yates family will have to think about it before making a move on you."
