1. Do You Think You’re Still Young?

After the little girl finished speaking, she went back to her room in a flash.

Alex stared at the bedroom door, his heart inexplicably surging, and he was unable to come back to his senses for a long time….

When Jessie was sleeping soundly, she felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on her. I t was getting heavier and heavier, making her unable to breathe.

She almost could not take it anymore. She opened her eyes and saw Alex’s long eyelashes in

front of her eyes.

He kissed her, and she used her two hands to push him.

Alex let go of her, and looked down at her from above. His voice was low and hoarse, “You’re awake?”

Jessie found herself lying on the sofa in the living room.

She retreated to the side in fear.

Alex pressed down on her legs, not letting her move.

Jessie could not move. Their breaths intertwined.

He kissed her again.

Jessie was shocked. But she could not get rid of it. She could not help but blush and choke.

Alex had to let go of her lips and said with a dark look, “Are you that unwilling?”

She had said that she wanted to marry him. Could it be that he could not kiss her now?

Jessie’s long eyelashes were covered with tears. “What do you think I am?”

Her tone was a little coquettish, a little grumpy, and also a little aggrieved.

She was full of the attitude of a little girl. All of a sudden, the rising anger in Alex’s chest was extinguished

His face became gentle, but his tone did not soften. “What else can I think of you as? You keep crying, do you think you’re still young?”

Jessie bit her lips and her eyes became even redder.

He still had the nerve to say that. She cried because she was bullied by him.

“You will follow me in the future.” Alex looked at her like this and wanted to swallow her

tears in one gulp.

Jessie did not think that he would say such words. A fire suddenly appeared in her heart.

She turned her head and did not want to look at his face anymore. “I will not follow anyone!”

Alex was also annoyed. He held her round chin with his big hand and forced her to look at him. He said unhappily, “Do you think that following me makes you feel wronged?”

There were many women in the R City who were in a hurry to jump into his arms. Jessie pretending to be reserved should have a limit too!

Yes, I am wronged!” Jessie felt pain in her chin from being pinched by him and whispered, “I n your eyes, a divorced woman should be so casual, right? You gave me charity to follow you, s o I should be grateful and accept it without any objections? You don’t care what I think at all. Do you think that I won’t feel wronged like this?”

Alex stared at her. He was silent.
