One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 478 Do You Plan On Getting Married

The exhausted young man couldn’t help but look around his surroundings of the huge manor in Westwind District. The air in the spacious living room felt oddly cold, and it was so piercingly chilly that he couldn’t hide the discomfort on his face.

Alex’s body sunk into the soft yet firm cushion of the leather sofa, and even though it felt extremely comforting against his fatigued body, he didn’t dare let down his guard in front of the man in a gray suit. At that moment, Alex put all his attention on the latter.

The man had a long, slender figure, and his pretty fingers were flipping through a set of documents. The frown on his face only made him look arrogant and unapproachable.

Alex continued to wait for the man to be done with his business. However, he couldn’t hold himself back after he had repeatedly counted the number of golden yellow lights on the chandelier above his head. He suddenly recalled a word that he had learned last night, and he gave it a go.

“Pardon me for asking,” he started. “May I know for what reason have you brought me here?”

Coincidentally, Elijah flipped to the last page of the document when Alex asked that. Then, Elijah leaned back into his seat while his cold gaze seemed to have traces of humor in it.

“Alex Ruben. Your mother is French, and she works as a doctor.”

After saying that, Elijah tossed a part of the document on the coffee table.

“Your father is an American who works as a professor in Colombia. You have 2 older sisters. One of them is married to an Alaskan, whereas the other is a doctor like your mother—”

Elijah continued to throw bits of the document in front of Alex. The calm Alex faked could be seen disappearing bit by bit until he eventually jumped up from the sofa in rage and fear.

“What are you doing?” Alex cut him off.

His fists were clenched so tightly that his whole body was shaking. The friendly expression on his face that he forced on, too, had been replaced by anger that looked as though he was ready to strike anytime.
