Chapter 243 I Never Broke Up With You

Her words rang in his ears; it felt as though a thousand little needles were poking his eardrums. “What did you just say?” he demanded as he grew flustered.

She turned to look at him with a raised brow while feeling emboldened. “A marriage of convenience is still a marriage nonetheless. I am legally acknowledged as his wife.”

“You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?” Alexander asked through gritted teeth. She’s saying this to deliberately provoke me.

“Doing what on purpose?” Courtney looked at him with curiosity while feigning confusion about what he meant by those words. “I’m telling the truth. Is there anything wrong with what I said?”

He frowned. “Then, what about us?”

 

“Us?” She crossed her arms as she appraised him from head to toe. Then, she shrugged casually. “Isn’t it obvious? We’ve broken up and now, we’re nothing more than former lovers.”

Alexander’s icy demeanor had shifted after returning from Shanghai; he had requested for flowers and food to be continuously delivered to the Citron studio for the past couple of days.

 

However, Courtney knew better than to fall for his sugar-coated tactics. After all, he was in the wrong—he had yet to apologize to her and it did not look like he would do so anytime soon. Even if he did, she was not sure whether it would be enough for her to reconcile with him.

In the absence of an apology on his part, they would remain as nothing more than former lovers.

Alexander, on the other hand, seemed to disagree as he argued, “You appear to have forgotten that I never broke up with you in the first place.”

“Is that so? I seem to recall hearing that you told the cops that night that we were not a couple.”

On the night they broke up, she had called the cops out of anger and he denied that he had any relationship with her when he was hauled into the police station. If it was not for his background, he would have been charged for attempted rape and be taken into custody.

While that was in the past, Courtney could not help but hold a grudge against him. “Be a man and own up to your words. You can’t just take something back like that, you know,” she sneered.

Alexander simply gaped. He clenched his fists and grumbled, “I’m going to kill Josh.”
