#Chapter117
AMELIA POV
/"I don't./"
A sudden and audible gasp leaves everyone's mouth, including Alexander. Jodie's hands fly up and cover her mouth.
/"What?/" He says, his face hurt and confused.
I lift my veil and push it over my head, revealing my face to him. Taking a step closer and closing the distance between us.
/"Come on Alexander../" I murmur, my lips against his cheek, /"you didn't I'd let you off the hook so easily now, did you?/"
His mouth parts, surprised.
/"What are you talking about?/" He asks, he's concentrated on me but is obviously affected by the gossiping crowd.
/"Don't pretend like you don't know what I'm talking about./" I tease.
But he genuinely doesn't know what I'm talking about.
/"Seriously? Alright../" I huff /"late night phone calls, sudden business trips...did you think I was an idiot?/"
His face drops when he realises what I'm talking about.
