Bringing the Nation's Husband Home II

XLIV | Used To This

Mrs. Williams would definitely be aware that Isabelle would get an abortion in the hospital as she was the one who had placed the sleeping pills in that swallow's nest.

When her son woke up, she no longer had any worries, but she was afraid that Isabelle would fall for him after spending such a long time together, so she had tried to find a loophole to scheme upon.

At that time, Alexander just didn't want her to be upset, so he forgot that his dishonestly could be used against him.

Just a moment of miscalculation and a tragedy could have happened.

If she didn't fall into the stream, he would have never known that she hated him so much.　

Five years ago, on Isabelle's birthday, that woman had thrown away the flowers and cake he had gotten Isabelle.

Five years later, still on Isabelle's birthday, that woman had sentenced him to death in Isabelle's world.

He had underestimated her hatred towards him, and her ruthlessness.

Between an unknown nurse and Alexander who had explained the situation the night before, Isabelle chose to believe him without hesitation. She never noticed anything strange about him as she continued to voice her doubt. "Why would the nurse lie? What was her motive?"

Alexander was deep in his thoughts and didn't realize that Isabelle had spoken.

After a long while, she still didn't get a response, so she couldn't resist anymore. "Alexander?"

He hurriedly put away his thoughts. Turning towards Isabelle, he replied in a faint voice, "I'm not sure either... I handed the matter to my assistant, and he had mentioned that there was a nurse that threatened him for more money but he had ignored her, that may be the reason why she came to you..."

So that's what happened... Isabelle looked at Alexander and apologized once more. "Regardless of how it was, Alexander, I want to say I'm sorry."

"It's fine..." Alexander paused, his gaze turning murderous.

Some things had been done deliberately so she would misunderstand, so how could she have realized?

Mrs. Williams was there ever since she was a child, she treated her like a daughter, so Isabelle would probably never believe that she was the one who had killed her child.

If he were to tell her the truth now, would she think he was accusing Mrs. Williams?

He was able to tolerate Mrs. Williams's repeated insults and hurt, but he wasn't capable of forgiving her for what she had did to his child, there will come a day when he'll get his revenge.

Alexander shut his eyes, forcing the anger down before replying faintly, "Actually, it's also my fault." After pausing for a bit, he added, "It's late, sleep."

After talking for such a long time, Isabelle was indeed starting to get sleepy. In the end, she could no longer fight her drooping eyelids and fell asleep. In a daze, she felt someone come close, placing a warm, moist kiss on her forehead.

Isabelle's brows moved, she seemed to have smelled the familiar aroma of Alexander. Just then, she seemed to have heard someone whisper, "Izzy, I like you, I have liked you for a very very long time."

Isabelle's lips curled upwards into a smile, her head rubbing the pillow before falling into deep sleep.

Alexander stared at Isabelle's face for a long while before reaching out to rub her hair lightly. Turning back to his side of the bed, he laid down.
