Chapter 108 An Uninvited Guest

To answer Alana’s comment, Chandler gave her a sideways glance and said, “Your partner is a horrible influence on you. How could such a beauty like you say such an unrefined thing!”

Alana broke out laughing merrily. “Nothing can be done about it; one picks up another’s quirks when they spend too much time together. It’s his fault for being in the Special Forces and talking so crudely.”

“Don’t worry. Once our engagement’s settled, I’ll find an opportunity to have him transferred to be your personal bodyguard. That way, you can be together all the time.”

Alana asked, “Chandler, don’t you want to come clean to your father? With the way he’s controlling your marriage, how can you stand it?”

Calmly, Chandler said, “It’s not yet time to come clean. Besides, I’m not worried since I’m getting engaged to you.”

“Us being friends is something only my sister and Roman knows. No one else would even imagine it. Even your woman might not help but mistake what we are for each other. You have to get Erin quickly before she becomes someone else’s. If that happens, you’ll regret it!” Alana looked genuinely worried for him.
