Alex King, you are back. Alex King opened the door of his house, and Lucy Williams approached like a bird while grabbing his arm. Alex King raised his head to see that there was a tall, slim woman behind her. He was roughly the same age as Lucy Williams and had long silky hair, his eyes were very bright, which seemed to be able to speak when they scrutinized Alex King, and he looked mature and cunning.
Alex King, let me introduce you to my friend. This is my classmate Yeni Bing, and she came home just to see me. Yeni Bing, this is my husband, Alex King. Lucy Williams hospitably presented.
Only Lucy Williams knew that if it weren't because she wanted everyone to realize that she was Alex King's wife ASAP, she wouldn't even want to associate with other people.
Yeni Bing was the most nosy in her class, and obviously, Lucy Williams knew of his intentions to go see her. "Oh hi, Miss Bing." Alex King reached out his hand and shook it with Yeni Bing.
Hello Mr. King, you can call me Yeni Bing. And I'll call you Alex King too. Yeni Bing's smile was very professional. Yeni Bing felt strange, she had heard of Alex King and also guessed, like the people outside, that this marriage was made to avoid the Robinson family, in addition, seeing their place of life strengthened her opinion even more. But now that she saw Alex King's calm, this was the first time she doubted her judgment.
Lucy, since your friend came, you should have called me. Ah right, Yeni Bing, haven't you eaten well yet? Let's go eat first. Yeni Bing, I'm sorry, this place is a bit old. Lucy had been suffering a bit with me, but this is only temporary. I will definitely not let her suffer any longer. How could Alex King not realize what was happening? But he had no time to lose with Lucy Williams' classmate. He was not in a good mood, he just wanted to eat and scare this woman who was there to extract information.
Lucy Williams overheard Alex King calling Lucy so casually while also holding Alex King's arm. At the time, she even doubted if she had really become Alex King's wife. How did that feeling come so suddenly?
She recalled that the day she borrowed money from Alex King, he refused; Thinking back to that day, Lucy Williams quickly pulled her arm out of Alex King's arm, as her heart was still beating rapidly. Every time she made physical contact with Alex King, she found that she was unable to maintain that calm state and was even more amazed by the fact that she liked that reassuring feeling.
Alex King seemed to have something about him that he wanted to pursue. It was like an indescribable feeling of serenity and longing, but it was a bit ethereal at the same time. It drew her like a moth to a flame, so all she could do was constantly remind herself what kind of person Alex King was.
Yeni Bing saw Alex King's comfort and Lucy Williams leaning on him, as well as his slight blush on his face, which made her hesitate even more. "Is Lucy Williams really in love with Alex King and the two married for love and not for something else?"
"Let's go". Alex King saw that Yeni Bing was still lost in thought and reminded him of reality. He had no good impressions of this woman who liked to invade other people's privacy.
The three of them thought different things every time they left the house. In a place not far from his residence there was a relatively large restaurant called Glamorous Garden and it was a three-star restaurant. Lucy Williams didn't want to go too far, so she pointed to Glamorous Garden and said to Alex King, "Alex King, I think this Glamorous Garden looks great, let's go."
"No, the food there is too expensive." Before Alex King finished his words, Lucy Williams was already outraged.
Alex King, what do you need so much money for? We would only spend $ 1000 at this restaurant. You… "Lucy Williams wasn't someone who liked to brag, but Alex King kept $ 500,000 and was mean to his schoolmate about going to a restaurant. Although she didn't like this classmate either, he was still a classmate, and she was still a member of the Williams family; Alex King brought him too much embarrassment.
Yeni Bing looked at Alex King in surprise. It was the first time I had seen someone so mean during a meal. And this was in front of his own wife and his schoolmate. However, Lucy Williams' admiration for him did not appear to be false.
Seeing that Lucy Williams was still going to say something else, Alex King was angry, but he was not someone with a narrow heart. He knew that if he got angry now, the show between him and Lucy Williams would have been wasted. He's going to start making money in the arena soon, so there was no point arguing with Lucy.
Thinking about this, he was quick to say, "Okay, do it your way. We're going to the restaurant for lunch today. Even though he said that, he was depressed in his heart, he only had a little over 1000 dollars in his pockets. And this was money that I earn after a lot of work, he still didn't want to use the money that he earned working hard to invite a woman who didn't like him to dinner.
Alex King had made his decision; after a few days, he would participate in the arena, and earn some money.
Dinner was relatively nice. Although Yeni Bing didn't get what she wanted, she could already tell that Alex King and Lucy Williams' views on the relationship were quite different. But from the way Alex King was so stingy with money, he assured her that Alex King was really living life with Lucy Williams. From how Alex King used cash and not a card to pay for food, she could tell that Alex King really wasn't living a rich life.
Alex King was the most unhappy. This meal cost him $ 1000, he even had to get the 5's and 10's on it. If Lucy Williams didn't have to order the $ 500 bottle of wine, this meal wouldn't cost too much. Although he drank most of the red wine, he was still not happy.
I knew Lucy Williams did this on purpose. She gave him a credit card whose account was frozen, and he was still so arrogant. Alex King almost threw the card at her to tell her to get the money herself. It's no wonder they say that people who are hated are also pitiful at the same time. Wasn't Lucy Williams someone like that?
After the meal, Yeni Bing didn't stick around and instead chose to say goodbye to them. Maybe it was because he saw Alex King use 5 and 10 to pay, but he wondered if it would show him that he had no money or something.
When Lucy Williams and Alex King returned, they weren't as close as they used to be. Lucy Williams didn't want to talk to Alex King. She felt like Alex King had made her lose her face today. Although she did not really care about these things, Alex King paid with cash instead of her card, and although she intentionally ordered the red wine, but in the end, she drank it all alone. Alex King didn't want to talk either. This dinner cost him over $ 1,000. Now, he only had $ 20 left in his pocket.
In the days that followed, if Alex King didn't go out to fight in the arena, he wouldn't even have money to buy food. Alex King's dishes were getting simpler. Although Lucy was not a picky eater, she looked down on mean people like Alex King.
That night Alex King got a message on his phone from Selena Wang, the university was going to ask Lucy for full tuition before the weekend, He didn't think he would have to go to the arena earlier than planned, but now he had to. by Lucy Williams.
Originally, he thought that with a few more days of training, his fighting level would be on par with most fighters in the arena, but now he didn't have that time.
However, what made Alex King disappointed was that even if he had multiple fights in the arena, the money he would get would not be enough to pay for the tuition. He would have to find a way to win more in the arena.
Although Lucy Williams basically hadn't been talking to Alex King, she still saw what Alex King was up to. Her father had called her and told her not to worry. Even if he, Anton Williams, were kicked out of the Williams family, he wouldn't sell his daughter, especially that demon from the Robinson family.
Her father's words made Lucy Williams feel more secure. His father is looking for a solution to fix things with the Williams family. Before long after that, they would come to Alex King's house and take her away, maybe she wouldn't have to wait the six months.
Lucy Williams saw Alex King getting ready to go out, she even saw him have another bottle of wine, and her contempt for Alex King gradually began to fade. What was the relationship between him and her? This was just a deal. She gave him $ 500,000, and that money was hers. If he didn't want to spend money, that was his problem.
Why should I be disappointed in this type of person?
After thinking about this, Lucy Williams seemed to feel better. Although he was very petty, he still bought some vegetables at home and cooked every day. Alex King took out her little bag; and went out. She didn't know if it was because Alex King was still partying after drinking the entire bottle of wine at lunch with his classmate.
Regardless of whether their marriage was real or fake, she and Alex King were still husband and wife. The husband leaves the house to drink without saying anything to her. Even if they were fake partners, she felt bad about it. Thinking of how she would be leaving here in no time and probably never coming back in her life. There was an unknown but faint melancholy that rose in his heart.
He knew it wasn't because of Alex King but for other reasons. Lucy Williams left her room for the first time. Perhaps you also wanted to see the place where you had lived for more than 20 days.
In the living room, there was not much to see, he only saw an old cabinet with a drawer, and when he opened it, he saw the marriage certificate that she had given Alex King the day they were married, and underneath it he saw a few papers more, which apparently were bills.
Seeing this Lucy Williams felt that she was invading Alex King's privacy and quickly closed the drawer and returned to her room.
