Chapter 1505


    In Alexander’s mind, a faint childhood memory had always lingered. Back then, Lena used to carry him


    on her back during the day and sing him to sleep at night. Lena was the only beacon of light in his life,


    where warmth was scarce.


    Who said that three- or four-year-old kids couldn’t remember? That memory stayed with him as he


    grew up, guiding him to reunite with his sister.


    “Sis, please don’t cry, okay? Ms. Lena!”


    Lena paused for a moment with tears in her eyes before smiling at him.


    The two of them found a cozy little eatery to sit down, which happened to be the same ce where


    Chris took her for pizza.


    Julius warmly greeted them. “Oh, what a rare visit! This is…”


    “I’m her younger brother!” Alexander replied swiftly.


    Lena smiled at him and ordered two pizzas.


    Julius initially looked a bit skeptical, but then he disappeared into the kitchen. When he returned, he


    brought two generous servings of pizzas.


    “Dig in!” Lena handed Alexander a te. “This ce is great—reasonable prices and delicious food.


    Chris brought me here…”


    As soon as Chris’ name came up, her cheeks turned a shade redder.


    Alexander grinned mischievously and asked, “Sis, is that guy treating you well?”


    Lena pretended not to understand. “What guy?”


    “The one you mentioned, Chris!” Alexander’s grin widened. “Don’t hide it. When we were in the


    mountains, I saw you two hugging, and he even kissed you!”


    “Alexander!” Lena looked at him sternly, but it was toote—their conversation had attracted some


    attention.


    “Enough!” She discreetly kicked him under the table. “Stop talking nonsense. You’re just a kid!”

    “I’m not a kid,” Alexander protested. “I’m already 12! I’m growing up.”


    “12 is still a kid!”


    Alexander’s smile softened. “Sis, why didn’t hee with you today?”


    “You invited me, right? You only invited me, not him, so of course he didn’te.”


    “He’s pretty self-aware!”


    Lena winced. In truth, ever since she had identally pped him that one time, she felt like


    something had changed between them. Although Chris remained as kind to her as ever, she couldn’t


    help but sense a shift.


    Upon thinking about that, a tight feeling gripped her chest. That person who had cast a shadow over


    her life seemed to be in Centrolis, too.


    Lena put down her pizza slice and looked at Alexander, hesitating for a moment before asking, “Leo,


    your father…”


    “Right, I was just about to tell you about that!” Alexander’s expression turned serious. “My dad is in


    Centrolis and has gotten quite close to that woman… The one who came to the mountains with youst


    time!”


    “Bianca?”


    “Yes!” Alexander didn’t hold back. “I saw them talking in the hotel’s backyard with my own eyes, and


    that woman even gave him money! When we were in the mountains, I already had a feeling she was


    up to no good. She kept asking me about you, but I didn’t say anything.”


    Lena frowned. Bianca probably saw her as a rival and wanted to eliminate her. But what could she and


    Drake possibly be up to?


    “Don’t worry,” Alexander reassured her between bites of pizza. “Let’s pretend you’ve never seen me,


    and I’ve never seen you. Or… let’s act like we’ve met but didn’t recognize each other. I’ll go back to my


    dad and try to gather more information. We can stay in touch if anything importantes up!”
