"Xiao Bai, Are you okay? If so, can you please get off me and wear some clothes?"
Then he put his attention to Xiao Bai lying on him, Whose eyes were misty and the strand of her saliva was dripping out of her mouth.
Her cheery-like lips were half open, showing her little big fang tooth. Seeing her like this, Alex felt that she might bite him any moment now. This is what cats do, When they want something.
By something I mean sex, If anyone does not get it, Which I doubt.
"Xiao Bai, Get off me please."
Alex once again said as he kept looking at the weird look in her eyes, Maybe her ears were so sensitive and his touching them flicked a switch in her mind.
"O-Ok-Okay..."
Xiao Bai just lay her naked body on top of him and spoke, It's hard for her to speak a human language for now. She needs time to get used to it. It's a good thing that she was born with an inherent knowledge of English.
Which makes anyone jealous, Especially for certain someone.
"So...Get up?"
Alex was waiting for her to get up but even after agreeing to get up with him, She didn't move a muscle at all. She just lay on top of him pretending she didn't hear him.
"*Sigh* What a bother, You are lucky you are cute."
He sighed seeing her acting like this, System did say that she was a mischievous personality, And as she was from cat lineage he had no doubt that at all.
So for this time, he lets her this time and has her way but he still has to go to the hospital now to handle Helen and Gloria, Who should have been waking up until now.
So he hugged the petite figure of Xiao Bai in his arm with his two big hands and with a strange twist in the body he directly lifted his body with her in his arms off the ground.
"N-No...Ahh!"
Xiao Bai did not like this a bit. She wanted to sleep on him, The warmth radiating from his body was very comfortable and the fragrances released from his body were also addicting.
So that's why she wanted to lay on him and sleep. She was tired of doing absolutely nothing, Which proves she is a cat descendent.
"Stop acting like a chi-! Just stop being immatu-....Just stop this Xiao Bai."
Xiao Bai, not getting what she wanted, started to throw a tantrum. She flailed her arms as she was giving a pitiful cry, Her eyes were also filled with tears and any moment water works will start.
Seeing her like this, Alex wanted to calm her down and tell her to stop acting like a child, So he spoke but he quickly realised that calling her child so immature is not going to do anything as it was not a bad thing but a fact.
So he just repermind her to stop acting like this one but that obviously failed. Seeing that there is no other way, He decided to do something that work flawlessly on her.
"Huh!?"
Xiao Bai quickly stopped moving as she looked confusedly at Alex, Who at this moment pinching the back of her long neck.
This should have not worked on her not only because she was in human form, So she did not have a scruff but even if she was in tiger form, It should have not worked.
The scruff is there for the mother cat to make it easier to carry kittens from one place to another, As pinching that place activates their instincts and makes them immobile but that is not the case for the beasts.
Beasts were born from eggs and Xiao Bai being a Legendary beast was mature since birth, So there shouldn't be any reason for her to have that reflex as she didn't need it.
But as she related to the cat species, This thing though useless still exists in her body, Though it will not make her immobile Alex pinching her there should be activated that reflex making her confused.
"Now wear the clothes, We have to go outside."
Alex lets go of her neck, There is no point in pinching it as it will only make her confused about it, He only does this to make her relax.
Now that she was, He wanted her to wear clothes, So he could take her with him.
"O-Outside?!!!"
She wanted to start her tantrum again after her confusion was gone but when she heard word outside, All her tantrum was gone and replaced by pure joy and excitement.
She hopped in a place trying to speak outside over and over again, As she snapped her finger.
When she did that, A white light covered her a d when that light was replaced, A white formal shirt and black pants were on her body.
"Wait, She can also bring clothes? Then why was she not wearing it before?"
Amara, who was silent after Alex reminded her, spoke up in surprise. She did not understand, If Xiao Bai was able to create clothes too then why she was not wearing them before.
Isabella though didn't say it but she too was curious, Xiao Bai looks like has a normal human level of intelligence, So she should know that should wear clothes, That's basic human decency.
"I know why she did that, Want me to tell you?"
Alex looked at them with a slight smile on his face not showing what was on his mind.
"*Glup* Please tell us, brother."
Amara gulped when she saw that slight smile on his face, Though she felt something was wrong Alex was looking so beautiful that she lost her capacity to think about it.
Isabella also felt bad, So she didn't speak and let Amara be on the front line.
"Yeah, I will answer that but before that, I have a question, Are you two just coming out of the egg too?"
Alex looked at them, having the same smile adoring on his slender lips.
"N-No, Why brother!?"
Amara and Isabella both felt bad and felt that there is something amiss about his questioning but they didn't understand it, So Amara gathered her courage and asked him.
"Ohh, If you two not coming out of the egg, THEN WHY THE FUCK YOU TWO NAKED, YOU TWO PERVERTS!!"
Alex looked at two of them and then started as calm first before pointing to them their current condition.
"Huh!? Ahhh! It was not what it looked like brother, I am not a pervert."
"Me too, I don't realise at all."
Both Amara and Isabella jumped when Alex pointed out that two of them were butt-naked. They looked at themselves and Alex at first before quickly moving toward the bed.
"You let go of the old hag, I need it more, There's not much to hide, Warp some handkerchief or something."
Amara and Isabella reached to the bed at the same time and both of them grabbed the bedsheets as they don't have time to search for their clothes now as Alex was already labelled them as a pervert.
They need to get rid of that label as soon as possible but if they want to start that argument they need to be dressed first or at least have their body covered.
That's why they wanted to use bed sheets but the problem is that there is one bedsheet and two people, and someone has to give up, Which neither of them wanted to do.
So the fight for the bedsheet started, Amara grabbed the sheet trying to yank it out of Isabella's hands but she didn't let go and Amara didn't want to use more force as it might tear the sheets.
Seeing she can't use force, She used words in the play, Trying to make Isabella give up and find something else.
And what could be a better way to provoke women than to call their assets small? So she used that one.
"You- How dare you? My assets are way bigger than yours what you are talking about? Want to compare the size of it? You let this go, You don't even need to hide anything, Others need a magnifying glass to see your stuff."
But who is Isabella? When it comes to provoking opponents with words, She is several streets ahead of Amara.
So she used even more deadly and lethal words for any woman than Amara, These words though not true was not completely false either.
Amara is a little smaller than Isabella, Well that might be because she is still growing and Isabella as a mother of two is going to have an unfair advantage in that field, So her breast should be bigger than Amara's.
"You-You- I am still growing? At least mine are not soggy as yours."
Amara got a critical hit by Isabella's words, Which woman will bear to hear that another woman is bigger than you in front of the man she likes? And it hurts even more when you find out that another woman was right. You are a little smaller than her.
So she used the same trick she knew to work against Isabella, Her age. As she didn't have much experience in finding others' weaknesses quickly like a capitalist predator like Isabella.
"You take that back!! They are not soggy, They are firm and perky, Also most importantly they are big and FYI size does matter."
But lucky for Amara, Isabella is still vulnerable to her age problem. After all, no woman also wants a woman younger than you to talk about your age in front of a man they like.
So Isabella also got a critical strike by Amara, Before she didn't care about her age but after this morning, She was quite conscious about it.
She does hear that men like women in their 40s but she also heard that those man's only going to them because of money, They most if not all are gold miners.
To be honest, Isabella didn't really mind now that Alex had come to her because of money, As money is the last thing she had to worry about but the problem is that Alex has more money and power than her, So there is no way he should come to her for her money.
So her looks are most important here, So anyone who now points out her age or faults in the figure is an enemy of her. Especially if that person is Amara.
To be honest, She really didn't have anything to worry about. As an A-Rank warrior, her lifespan is above thousand years, So according to that she was not old at all, And that was also backed by her body.
Her body as she said was firm and tight, Might be more than a virgin maiden, It's just she was worried about the age format of mortals, Which she had nothing to do yet she was thinking about it.
This is the same thing that happened with Alex. This might be the aftermath of her White Lotus' heart working unnecessarily in the background, Taking away her precious brain power.
"You they are soggy, Why don't they? You are the mother of two after all? Not to mention you are now over 40, People will now stop calling you aunt and start to call you grandma, hahaha!"
Amara was overjoyed when Isabella lost her cool and rebutted, She was even happier that she made Isabella so angry that she didn't even try to insult her back.
For her, this was a clear win, So as a winner it was her duty to rub salt on her enemy's wound, And that's what she did.
She makes sure to use all her knowledge to come up with these words targeting Isabella, The grandma part was her favourite and she was most proud of it.
"Tha- If I am grandma, You are pervert, No you are worse than a pervert, At least they have some fucked up but still off-limit things, You targted your own little brother, Do you understand how much worst that sound? Do you even have a slight of an idea?"
Isabella was now officially provoked to limit, She now didn't even care about hitting below the neck now, She was ready for a full-on verbal battle.
"You bith- Brother!! She is bullying me again what!!"
Amara was startled by her words and then quickly realised what she just said. Her anger rose to the limit. She wanted to counter her with even more strong words but she wasn't able to come up with anything at all.
After all, she was raised in high society with that level of education, Which teaches respect and other things but vulgar ones.
And Isabella, though also from a big family, Being the head of family all these years taught her lots of things, Which well-protected flowers like Amara are never able to go against.
So like always, When she doesn't know how to counter the problem, She is ready to go and call her brother for help. This is her ultimate move, The one even Isabella has no answer for.
"You cheater, Are you dick or what? Why bring Alex between us?"
Isabella got sacred a bit when Amara mentioned Alex, She knows that her words were crossed a limit there, Even she regretted after saying them but there is no regret medicine.
Now if Alex gets involved in this, he is surely going to take Amara's side. After all, Amara is his sister at the end of the day and I am no one, Just a stranger who slept with him.
No, she is worse than a stranger. She is the mother of a man, Who tried to blame a pure soul like him. There is a high chance he might even kick her out.
That's why Isabella was very anxious and looked in the direction Amara was going.
"Huh? Wait a moment! Where did my brother go?!!! Didn't he be standing here a few moments ago? Did the ghost take him away? Brother!!! *Bang* Ouch!"
Amara came running to the place Alex was standing leaving the bedsheet, The thing which was the reason why this all drama happened in the first place.
But when she looked up at it, She found out that there was no figure of her brother at all, As if he just vanished out of thin air, So as she is who is also known for her wild thinking by Alex, Is true to her habit and started overthinking.
The scenario she made up in mind is that when she and Isabella were fighting a ghost came and took Alex away, Which made perfect sense in her mind.
So she even believed it was the truth and called out for him in a dramatic manner, But before she finished her heart-touching performance, someone banged in her head.
"He obviously left seeing our banter, But I have to say Miss Winchester you have some wild imagination."
Isabella who retracted her first spoke to her as she looked at the open door in guilt and slight fear.
In her opinion, Which is also a possible reason than Amara that Alex left seeing them fighting about, He might not have wanted to waste time with them.
For this she was both sad and happy. She was sad because Alex left, And happy that he didn't hear her words and even as a bonus, She got to hit an S-Rank awakened without any consequences.
"Ohh!~ hehe, Yeah he might have gone to hospital. So there is nothing to worry about."
Amara rubbed her head when Isabella hit her, not bothered by that fact. She was more careful that Alex is safe and not taken away by the ghost.
"Okay, Let me take a shower first, I still have to go to work."
After Alex left there was no reason for her to stay here, So Isabella wanted to go but before that, she wanted to take a shower to get rid of the smell and fluids from her body.
It's one thing to like this feeling but hygiene comes first, So she wanted to clean herself first.
"No, let me go first, I also have some meetings to attend."
When Amara heard that Isabella wanted to go in the shower, She bolted first towards the bathroom at full speed speaking to her while running.
"No, Let me go first."
Isabella reacted and also quickly moved towards the bathroom, And that's how they started one more of their arguments.
....
"And here I thought ghosts were off duty during the day, Are you doing overtime or something?"
Alex was in a buried white place with Xiao Bai looking at the front the same figure or say entity he saw in the elevator before.
"....."
There was no reply to Alex's comment from another side, The figure or said entity was just sitting in the corner staring at Alex.
Or at least it seems as if there is no facial or physical feature to it to indicate what that figure was doing.
'System, Use the eye of the truth of this thing.'
Alex now didn't bother with long monologue and just asked the system to get information about the entity.
Unlike yesterday he was very calm as he has a Sage heart and it's no longer unknown which he fears.

(Note : You are in the pocket dimension right now, If you want to leave just use your Fire-Emperor superpower.)]
'So this is Robin? A butler of Belladonna?'
Alex was surprised to see Robin here, But it was not unexpected, As he had already been reminded by the system that his so-called fiancé had targeted him.
"Belladonna, It's been a while, How are you?"
When Alex knows Robin is the one who was seated in front of him, He was relaxed, As he now has Xiao by his side and there should be hidden bodyguards outside of this pocket world.
That's why He was not that worried. He might be uneasy if Belladonna herself came, Only that is going to cause trouble for him now.
So he called out to Belladonna as he knew that she was the one who controlled Robin and can hear and see everything.
"....."
There was no replay, A blurry figure of now-known Robin was sitting there staring at him without moving or doing anything.
"Hey, I have one question, Do all ghosts look the same? As this Robin of yours looks very similar to the ghost I saw before."
Alex didn't mind if he did not get any reply, It's very hard to control the puppet in the long distance, So it's a given that Belladonna might not be able to talk with him through Robin.
"That's a racist assumption love."
But when my ex thought he was going to reply, A very feminine voice like an aged vine fell on his ears.
This voice is so good that it made him drunk just listening to it. His mind became boggy and his vision started to blur, As his mind started to imagine some explicit images of Belladonna.
[Ding! A charm skill is detected...
Sage Heart is being triggered...
The host successfully countered the opponent's skill...]
When he was about to lose his control, System's voice rang in his mind, And his heart became crystal clear without any bemusement remaining in his mind.
*Growl*
When he comes back to his senses, He sees that carefree Xiao Bai staring at Robin to tear him apart as she should have realised that someone was trying to control him.
"Xiao Bai, Calm down, She is an old friend."
Alex quickly held her back, preventing her from shredding Robin in the pieces as he didn't want to let go of this golden opportunity to have heart-to-heart conversations with the late-game boss.
"Ohh, How can racist to death darling? How does that make any sense?"
So after calming Xiao Bai, He said to Belladonna through Robin, He didn't react to the stunt she just pulled, As it was her usual thing.
This is the passive of her superpower, making her voice very charming. She used to do this before but every time either she herself released the or his mother had to intervene.
As crazy as she is she also has her principles of winning the heart of the person she loves.
Well, she literally wants the heart of her love, that's a different story.
"Love you learn a thing or two out there, You never called me darling, What changed? What is Alia not giving you enough allowance?"
Belladonna also acted as if Alex didn't just ignore her charm skill, Which is a shocking thing to anyone as Alex just countered an S-Rank warrior's skill.
But Belladonna didn't react, Which shows her intelligence and self-control, But she still couldn't help being curious so she asked him a question without asking about it.
"Well, I am going through rough periods, I only have 12 billion UC in my account, Do you believe it? That's how poor I am now."
Alex of course knows what her question is about learning new things but who is he?
Belladonna might be a smart woman and one of the late villains in the plot but when it comes to manipulation and psychological tricks, No one is an opponent of him in this world.
"Did Alia even have that much money? What did you give her that she increased her allowance to that much?"
Belladonna's voice was as neutral as it was in the beginning without an ounce of emotional fluttering or trembling as if she didn't care about Alex bragging but the reality was very different.
She didn't care about small amounts like 12 billion with their family background but the problem is that Alex now didn't have any family support.
This means this money is definitely given to him by Alia, But the question is why?
There is even a need to guess what Alex might have given to make Alia give him this huge amount for someone in that small city.
"Hey don't change the topic, You didn't tell me how my statement is racist? Answer me, love."
Alex, while saying not to change the topic, changed the topic. He was living this conversation. It was no fun when he was one-sidedly playing psychological games.
It's quite interesting to change when another side also uses the trick against you. There is still a skill issue with her but hey at least she was trying.
"Ghosts are the spirits of the dead, Who couldn't leave the mortal world, Either because something is bounding them here like an unfulfilled wish or they want revenge.
Robin is an undead, The one without any spirit but a corps of dead, They are raised from the dead by someone else's summon or command."
Belladonna was still neutral, Her voice was still calm but her heart was in chaos, She never knew that her little Alex is so deeply hidden, Even she wasn't able to counter him, Not even a bit.
This was a competition. Anyone who made others say what they wanted to hear, Will won and now she was on the losing end.
She badly wanted to know what he gave Alia, He successfully grabbed her attention.
"Ohh, Robin is undead? So he is a corpse? If so, do his things work? Do you know the physical thing? How is this work?"
Alex had a slight smile on his face. He enjoyed every second of it. It felt good to make the late-game boss this helpless.
But there is also one thing that was bothering him, Robin.
As her personal butler of Belladonna, He should be with her 24×7, So will they do something to make his head green?
Though he has nothing to do with her at least for now, she is still in the name of his fiancé and the woman he has plans for.
So he was worried as this is the reverse world, So women doing intercourse is common, heroines are exceptions and he didn't have to worry about them but sadly Belladonna is the villain, Which is not as that virginity protection.
"Robin is undead, His body is dead so it did not have any bodily function, I made him kinda like Taxidermy, So he will not rot an-....."
Belladonna was annoyed that Alex had control of the conversation from beginning to end. She wanted to think of a way to get questions that answered what he gave Alia.
So she thought of a solution, That she didn't pay much attention to Alex's question and spiked half-heartedly as if only thinking that it was his mere curiosity.
But after answering it, She just realised what she answered, She looked through Robin at Alex just to see a smug smile on his face.
She knew she lost this silent battle.
"....."
Belladonna just stared at Alex through Robin without blinking, She right now was overwhelmed by the mixture of emotions.
She was annoyed that she lost their unspoken battle as she is not used to losing to anyone.
She was also kinda happy, As he does care enough about her to get information related to man related to her.
That was naked jealousy, So she was happy that he also has feelings for her.
But she was also angry about Alia and her current relationship with Alex. She needs answers.
"What happened, darling, Why did you stop speaking midway?"
Alex, who was not even trying to hide his smug smile, asked her, As he patted Xiao Bai's head because she was becoming impatient.
She wanted to go outside and explore the world, Alex also didn't want to stay and watch Isabella and Amara's ranting one more time, So he decided to leave with Xiao Bai.
But just as he stepped outside his room, A strange mist covered their surroundings and sucked both of them into this white world.
Xiao Bai wanted to resist and break free from it but Alex stopped her. He wanted to see who had the guts to pull off something like this with him.
After all, he is an heir of a big family. Anyone who attacks him is considered an attack on his family, So he knows the person is either stupid or has a strong background.
In either case, He wanted to first assess the situation, And it turns out it was the right decision.
He now meets or says get talk to Belladonna, Who can be the best help for him against the current protagonist's backups.
"You hide too deeply, love. I am impressed."
Belladonna finally spoke, She was impressed that a man can be this smart, And hide this deeply.
She has known this man since childhood. His every move, liking, and dislikes are known to her and yet she still wasn't able to find out his sinister level of intelligence.
She now has second guesses about cutting him into pieces and putting him in the coffin. It's better to put him in suspended animation.
'I still going to need a big coffin then, Better to give a custom order soon.'
If you forgot about it, This is a reminder that this woman is bat shit bat crazy, Her way of showing love is also proof of it.
"What did I hide darling? Everyone knows where I am, You just don't want to come and meet me. Do you know how much I was here? But no one came, Now I am sad."
Alex being who started his acting skill, A skill that has not been used for a while ran on full power.
His appearance quickly changed, His eyes turned red as if he would burst out crying the next moment, His voice was also choking and an aura of loneliness surrounded him.
"Huh!?"
The emotions he was showing were so powerful that Xiao Bai, sitting close to him, was also affected by them.
She looked at him in confusion about what happened. Why did he suddenly become sad? She wanted to help but Alex motioned her not to move, So she was confused but did what Alex said and sat tightly.
*Stuck*
Here other side hundreds of kilometres away, Belladonna felt like a sharp arrow just struck her heart.
The appearance of Alex made even her who has a fucked up way to express love feel pain and heartbroken.
Guilt appeared in her heart as to why she didn't go to meet him, Completely forgetting that he was the one who ran away from their marriage.
This is turning black into white, Without others realising what Alex loves the most.
Just make yourself a victim and others will come to your rescue. This is a tried and tested trick, This worked in the past world and it was still if not more useful in this one.
"S-Sorry for that but didn't you have an Alia?"
Belladonna's heart was guilt-ridden, Her thinking was influenced by her raw emotions, The smart side she started with now was getting weaker and weaker.
Alex systematically lowers her guard against him from the very beginning, It just goes unnoticed by everyone.
So as an heir of the same status family as Alex, She apologised unknowingly, It might be the first time in her life she apologised to anyone.
"Well I do forgive you, You should have a lot of work to do, But can't you ever spare to give me a call?"
Alex as a pro-manipulator followed the first rule of manipulation, Never answer the question straight up and always distract them from the key point.
This is what he did now, He diverted the question of Belladonna with his loaded question.
There is no way that she could able to ignore this question as doing so make it look insensitive to his feelings and if she answers it, Which she will, He can drag her further away from Aila's topic.
"....Tha- I!?"
She was stunned by his question. She has the answer to his question but she can't say it now.
Alex looks like he might burst out crying at any moment, So she can't just say that he ran off on their wedding and ruined her reputation, Can she?
She didn't know what to say anymore. There are no words to describe her situation. She really felt wronged.
She was supposed to blame him. That's why she sent Robin here to make him guilt-ridden and came back to her but this thing backfired on her.
Now she felt worse than a human being even thinking of blaming Alex now, It felt like a crime against humanity.
She fell into thinking of how did she end up in this position, She was supposed to victim here.
'System, Why does my charm not affect her?'
While there Belladonna contemplating her life decisions, Alex was more curious about why she was not affected by his charm.
Rita, Isabella and Liza he met before became his most affectionate followers when they saw him.
So he was also thinking that his charm might also influence her same way. If that happens a huge worry in his heart will go away.
He was still very worried about her, As she has very messed up values in her mind.
So understanding her motives or reading her mind is like trying to teach a dog Quantum mechanics, Both are futile.
That's why he was hoping that his charm might change her way of thinking of him as a thing to possess and see him as a human.
But it turns out that even after talking with her this much time, There is no system notification about the increase in favorability of her for him.
[Ding! Host, there are multiple reasons but the most prominent being she can only see your most basic physical features at most through the crops eyes of Robin.]
The system came out and explained why his charm was not affecting her, As Robin was dead not have any functional eyes, It's similar to a video call with a broken cracked lens camera.
"Well it's good to talk with you after this long darling but now I have to leave, I Hope to get a call from you soon."
When he finds out that there is no way he could increase her affection for him through his charm, He decided to leave.
Anyway, he just build a foundation now, Now all he needs to do now is to wait for it to solidify before he does anything else.
"Wait!? We just started talking."
Belladonna came out of her thinking as she heard his words, She was unwilling to cut off their conversation now.
She wanted to make him convince her to get back to her, But if he go now how can she do that? Winchester's family not allowing anyone else to meet with him, So she can't even go in person to bring him back.
So she didn't want to let him go from this pocket world of hers, Although she was losing in this talk, She still has hope that she can able to convince him to come back.
Anyway, she thinks that Alex can't leave this world without her permission, So can keep him here until he agrees to come back.
"Sorry darling, someone else is waiting for me, It's not good to break a promise, So we will talk later."
Alex knows what she might be thinking about. It's just very hard to guess her next motive and the actions she will take to achieve what she wants.
He was very well capable of assessing what reason might be behind her actions.
So he didn't even ask her to let him leave, He just stand up to exit this world.
"By the way, Shadow Empress name suits you, darling, See you soon *Snap*"
Alex turned around to towards Robin, As he spoke before he snapped his finger taking out his own SS-Rank superpowers flame.
*Rumble* *Crack*
As that speck of flame appeared, This whole world rumbled, It started to shake and cracks started to appear all around this white world, soiling the beauty of this world.
Then without any hesitation, he grabbed Xiao Bai's collar, Who still wanted to tear Robin for hurting him and jumped in one of the cracks.
"A...SS-Rank superpower? How much did he hide from me? And how did he know about Shadow Empress?"
Belladonna couldn't help but be shocked by Alex's move, When she saw him standing up she thought he will ask her to let him go but she never thought that he just pulls out his SS-Rank superpower and just walk away from her grasp.
When she came out of the shock of seeing SS-Rank's superpower of his, She realised he just revealed her deepest secret as if it was not big deal.
Suddenly the threat level of Alex increased in her heart as she started the second guessing of sneaking into Berlin city to get him back.
"Robin, come back."
Now that Alex is gone, She had no intention of letting Robin stay here in the city, So she called him back, While using her power through him to fix the crack in the space.
Next time she decided just to try to convince him through a normal call as making this space is both is expensive and now useless against Alex.

"That was quite a talk, Thankfully that crazy woman did not come here herself."
Alex and Xiao directly appeared in the parking lot of the city no.1 hospital, The destination he planning to come to in the first place.
He checked the time and find out that he spend 20 minutes in that space, A distance between his dormitory and the hospital is 30 minutes, So came early.
But he was not a bit of happy, He was scared a lot.
There is the reason why he calls her a crazy woman, That woman can do anything without any worry.
Think about it, This woman was planning of killing him and making her his pet, Even when he is an heir of a family like Winchester.
He knows this as there was a huge plot related to this, Though before she does this he died in the changed plot fact remains that she did intend to do that to him.
So his guard is always high against her, It might be his luck that she does not come here herself, If she did his mind games will not work on her.
They had to fight, Which he didn't want at all.
*Ding*
When he was in his thought, A sound notification on his phone grabbed his attention.
"Ohh shit, I forget about my promise to her."
When he read the messages, He realized what he did.
He quickly checked the time, It was close to noon, He felt quite bad as he ran towards the stairs.
He will not go to take the elevator for a while, After what happened yesterday.
'Hope she not be too sad or angry.'
While running on the stairs, He thought to his mind, Xiao Bai like a little follower was running behind him happily.
She didn't care what happing, All she wanted to do is to see this new world for the firat time.
"Why didn't he come last night? Did I do something to make him angry?"
A beautiful gentle looking woman was standing in the hospital hallway walking back and forth.
Her hair was frizzy as if she had just woken up. There were slight dark circles below her eyes hinting at the sleepless night she had yesterday.
At this time she was super worried as the two most important people in her life were not there with her.
She felt lonely all over again, A fear she was pushing down all this time trying to raise its head inside her heart.
A sudden surge of sadness hit her, All the things she held back before were running through her mind.
All her struggle up to now, Finally going to get a sweet moment she yearned for all these years, And now it felt like it was just a one-time thing.
"How complicated is the human heart, I always wanted to just spend a few moments with him and now that I got way more than I asked for, So why other than being happy, I am sad, Why I yearn for something that I can't have?"
Grace stopped in front of her mother's ward, Gloria still hasn't woken up though the doctor said there is no problem but worry in her heart was not lessened at all.
This flamed the worry about Alex even more in my heart. He promised that he would come to her at night but he didn't.
She imagines almost every possibility of why he didn't come and most of them pointed out that he should be busy with Alia.
This realisation makes her feel like someone ripped her heart out and butchered her with a blunt knife.
Yes, she did agree and did not mind him having another woman. That is a legal thing but the fact that he goes to another woman forgetting his promise given to her hurt her the most.
She wanted to cry but she didn't, She still has to be strong for her mother.
'Is Alia forbidding him from meeting me?'
Suddenly she comes up with a different reason, Alia is Alex's official girlfriend and way better than her in everything, So she should be the one stopping him from meeting her.
After all, who is she to him? Nobody.
She neither has any money nor any background like Alia, So why should Alex choose her over a big boss like Alia?
Also, he also loves Alia a lot. That song is proof of it.
"But did say he also likes me, But again he didn't write a song like that to me, So he still did not like me enough to sing for me."
Grace was going through her thoughts, Which were becoming depressing second by second, Which is a by-product of her worry for her mother, lack of sleep and most importantly, Alex breaking his promise.
So she was now even thinking about if he had to choose between her and Alia, Who he chose?
There is no doubt in her mind that will going to be Alia. His love for her is not unknown to her.
That song he sang for, The overwhelming love in his emotions was solid proof of it, That Alia is his first priority, not her.
"Mom, did I make a mistake loving a man I shouldn't have?"
Grace put her hand on the viewing glass window of her mother's ICU ward.
Finally the tears she fought to hold back won and broke free from the bounds of her eyes sliding down on her well-carved cheeks, Leaving behind proof of her sorrow.
She fell into thinking the first time she met him, It might be a normal day for him but for her, it was a day everything changed.
....
———Flashback———
"Grace Smith, Why are you even here? This is financing class girl, It's not a place for someone like you."
A well-dressed 19 or 20 year old girl was blocking the way of Grace on the 6th floor hallway. She just wanted to go to her class, She tried everything to avoid them but in the end, they cornered her.
So now she had to listen to this group of upper-class girls taunting, It was nothing new for her.
Every time she gets a scholarship and transfers to these big schools, There is always a group like this that comes to trouble her.
It's just that normally she can avoid them a few times. After that, they lost their interest in her but this group was very persistent. They still find her after a month and she avoids them.
"Yeah, You need money to make money. Looking at you, I doubt you might even have money for lunch today."
A girl wearing the same flashy revealing clothes as the first girl spoke, And she was right, Grace indeed doesn't have the money for the lunch.
Her mother does give her some but she spent on the books she needed, So she has to manage without food today, Well this is also not a new thing for her.
"Did you even have to doubt? Just look at her whitewashed tattered clothes, I thought she came here to beg at first hahahah!!"
The third girl in the group spoke, She too was wearing the same type of clothes.
After she spoke to Grace, She burst out laughing.
"You are right, I didn't know what I was talking about haha"
"Well Smith, If you beg, I can spare you some change, Ahaha!"
After the third one makes fun of Grace another two also join in to taunt and make fun of her.
They hate someone like Grace, They don't understand why someone like her deserves to be scored top of the class and be praised by their teachers.
People like her should know their place and try not to compete with them here. If she always scores like that they become a joke in college for being behind someone like Grace.
So they tried to warn Grace as they were impotent to compete with her, That's why they decided to destroy the competition itself.
Well with that they do have the true spirit of a businesswoman, If you can't compete with it then destroy it.
"....."
Grace didn't say anything, Her head was down staring at her feet standing there, This way she will not escalate the matter.
She knows what they wanted, But she will never purposefully try to lower her grade.
For these girls having higher grades meant nothing but a frame and status, But for her, it was her only lifeline.
She needs to earn money, A lot of it and quickly.
Her mother's health was becoming worse and worse. She needs urgent medical help but they don't have any money.
So Gloria was refusing to even go to the hospital to get checked, Just urging her to complete her studies, While she was doing odd jobs for their day-to-day living.
Grace didn't want her mother to work. She was ready to get a part-time job but Gloria sternly refused.
She didn't want to disappoint her mother and make her proud, So she was not going to lower her grade under any condition.
"Bitch are you ignoring us *Slap*"
