Refusing To Be His Perfect Replica, I Choose The Arranged Marriag by BlueMoone

Chapter 16

The cold breeze from the river blew directly at her, penetrating to her bones like a knife’s edge, but Aveline managed to get up and continue her pursuit.

However, she had underestimated the current state of her body. She hadn’t run more than a few meters before she fell to the ground hard. The car door opened again, and a pair of shiny handmade leather shoes came to a halt in front of her.

She followed the crisp pant leg of the man as it slowly moved up, and her gaze met Alexander’s icy eyes.

“Alexander…” Aveline weakly began.

A pair of knuckle–defined hands came down above her, and for a moment, Aveline seemed to see the white–clad youth who had once fascinated her in her youth. She instinctively reached her hand toward

him.

The moment their hands touched, Alexander withdrew his hand abruptly, giving her a glimpse of hope and then mercilessly taking it away, causing her body to fall hard again.

She hadn’t been injured before, but this time, her palms landed right on broken glass shards, and the glaring bloodstains dripped down from her palm.

His black pupils hesitated, but he didn’t make a move.

Aveline felt a bit dazed for a moment. She thought of how, in the past, he had taken her to the hospital in the middle of the night just for a small cut on her finger.

wound would have healed.”

The man in her memory and the one before her now seemed to overlap. His eyes, though ruthless as ever, were no different from the past, except now, they were filled with frost.

Alexander’s voice was cold and indifferent. “Aveline, others might not understand me, but now I don’t know you either. Someone who can somersault a thousand times at the gym can’t walk a few steps?”

His gaze at her was filled with contempt, cutting through her like a knife.

Aveline bit her pale lips and tried to explain, “No, I didn’t lie to you. I’m just ill, and 1-”
