The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 148 Argument

Alexander kept his mouth shut around Joe.

When they pulled up to the suburban nursing home, Jonah was taken aback to see Alexander without Allison.

"Mr. Carter, you're here. Where's Ms. Bennett?" Jonah asked.

Alexander stepped aside, revealing Joe. Jonah's face changed the moment he saw him.

"Mr. Watson, it's been years. You look as vigorous as ever!" Jonah said.

Joe shot him a glare. "Years apart, and you're still such a suck-up. Now, go get Hayden. I need to give him a piece of my mind!"

Alexander twitched his mouth, still not daring to speak. Hayden heard the commotion and came out, his face paling at the sight of Joe. "Here to cause trouble, Joe?" Hayden sneered.

"If I'm here to cause trouble, what about you? Hayden, why can't you ever do anything right?" Joe shot back, his voice dripping with disdain. As soon as Hayden and Joe met, they started arguing heatedly.

Alexander, sensing the tension, pulled Jonah aside and whispered, "Does Mr. Watson have a grudge against Hayden?"

"Rivals in love!" Jonah explained briefly.

Alexander got it immediately. He wisely stood in the corner, waiting until Hayden and Joe were exhausted from arguing and sat down in the yard.

"What do you want?" Hayden asked.
