"Sorry..."
Alex was taken aback. He lowered his head and looked at the petite and slender Claire in his arms. "What's wrong?" he asked with concern as he reached out, stroked Claire's hair, and pulled her closer.
"I know you don't like Jack, but I still invited him to the house," Claire said, leaning on Alex's chest.
"You must be annoyed.It's okay," Alex shook his head. "Don't worry, I won't blame you."Claire raised her head and looked at Alex's handsome face, feeling warmth surge through her heart.
"I'm not afraid of you."
"That's good," Alex's lips curled into a doting smile.
"I'm just worried you might not want to."A sweet smile appeared on Claire's face.
"Silly," Alex said, reaching out to lightly scratch the tip of her nose. "When did Jack say he would come?"
"I rejected him so he wouldn't be suspicious. He'll probably make an appointment with me soon," Claire replied.
"Good," Alex nodded with a smile.
