Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 17 Mismatch

At that moment, disdain washed over Alexander. Despite how he felt, he raised his brows and smiled before answering, “He’s the general manager at the headquarters.”

He was utterly displeased when he said that. “Julian only became the general manager of the headquarters. because Grandpa thinks he’s the rightful heir. It’s okay, though. Nothing is certain yet. We’ll see who’s the one ending up at the top in due time. Although Grandpa is supporting Julian, he’s getting old now. I bet he doesn’t have much time left on earth. On the other hand, not only do I have Dad’s support, but I also have a lot of supporters in the Parks family. Judging by the current situation, Julian made a grave mistake when he married a country bumpkin like Annalise impulsively, just to regain his pride,” he thought.

At the same time, Abigail was thinking to herself, “Still, Julian is much more incredible.” Despite her thoughts, she smiled and said in awe, “Alexander, you’re so impressive!”

“Do you really think so?” Alexander blinked his alluring eyes and smiled at Abigail.

“Of course!” Abigail answered in a sincere manner.

“Abigail, I’ve actually fallen for you ever since the first time I met you. Will you marry me?” Alexander gazed at her affectionately.

The sudden confession of love made Abigail overjoyed. Her lips curled up subconsciously.

“Did the third son of the Parks family of Jadeborough just propose to me? He’s the manager of a branch office in Parks Group! Indeed, he’s so much better than Benjamin,” Abigail pondered.

However, if she were to take her pick, she was more interested in marrying Julian. “Although Alexander is handsome and capable, he’s still no match for Julian. Julian’s charm and elegance are to die for! Plus, his cool and indifferent demeanor makes me just want to conquer him and make him fall for me. Also, Julian had chosen to be with a girl like Annalise. How can I possibly let Annalise marry someone greater than the man I’m marrying? Hence, by hook or by crook, I have to snatch Julian away from her. However, I can’t afford to reject Alexander now because he can serve as a backup, and frankly, he’s a superb backup option. Just in case I can’t be with Julian in the end, I can always marry Alexander because, after all, he’s into me,” she thought.

With those thoughts in her mind, she acted surprised and glanced at Alexander affectionately. “Me? Is that okay? But you’re from the Parks family. Unlike you, I’m a nobody.”

“Abigail, you’re an amazing woman. You’re so amazing that I’d push myself even harder in the future because otherwise, I might think that I’m not good enough for you,” replied Alexander.

Abigail bit her lower lip and uttered shyly, “I’m not as amazing as you think I am, am I?”

“You are!”

suggested, “Yes. Since this is a matter of importance, perhaps you should bring Old Mr. Parks along with you. Oh, wait.
