Alexander blushed and stuttered out an excuse, “I–I saw you were about to fall asleep, and I was
worried you might catch a cold.”
He then whispered softly, “I’ll let you hold me once we return.”
Isabe had alsoe to her senses, suddenly feeling quite awkward. Why did I think I could hug
him whenever I wanted?
Again, she habitually avoided the topic, “True, I might catch a cold. I’ll go on up then.”
Alexander didn’t mind Isabe’s response. After all, his situation was far from ideal.
He had merely held his wife for a moment, yet his entire body was already filled with a restless heat.
He thought he was used to it, but due to their extreme closeness, he ultimately lost control.
The unfamiliarity of the luation left him awash with embarrassment as if he had done something
disgraceful. Fearing that Isabe would discover what happened, he had no choice but to avoid her
hastily.
Fortunately, he calmed down after a while.
-When Isabe returned to the lounge chair, she didn’t need any assistance from the staff.
Alexander had
arranged everything perfectly for Isabe, ensuring she could lie down and restfortably.
Then, they saw others asking Deborah where ine had disappeared.
Deborah also couldn’t contact ine, so the crowd eventually steered toward the topic of a love
triangle.
Zendaya most likely wanted to avoid suspicion, so when Alexander and Isabe were not around,
she stood with the service staff.
Only when the couple left the pool did she start servicing others.
The way everyone looked at Zendaya had undoubtedly changed. Although Zendaya was aware of
it, she didn’t let it bother her much. She simply focused on her own work, not uttering unnecessary
words.
Although Isabe and Alexander were aware of the situation, they couldn’t disclose that ine was
in the midst of handling a very important matter,
However, the oue was already known to both of them.
At that moment, Clifford also returned.
His expression was rather serious, and he immediately sought out Zendaya, wanting to pull her
aside for a chate
“Hey…” Isabe couldn’t help but speak up.
“It’s personal. Don’t interfere.” Clifford sounded surprisingly serious and not impatient, which left
Isabe momentarily taken aback.
Zendaya rarely saw Clifford looking so serious, so after a moment’s hesitation, she said, “Let’s just
talk about it here.”

She didn’t want to be alone with Clifford, so she moved to the side and spoke in a hushed tone
instead.
Clifford didn’t object.
Once he was sure they were at a distance where others couldn’t overhear their whispers, he spoke
in a solemn tone. “Zendaya, I’ve made up my mind. You have a ce in my heart.”
Zendaya was taken aback. “Thuh?” No way. My lunatic er boss is in love with me? That can’t be.
What on earth did he see in me? Didn’t he choose me because I resemble ine? Could it be he
could not win over ine, so he’s now setting his sights on me? Is he nning to hire me as a
rebound again? That won’t do. It’s not a respectable job, and L only did it because I had no choice. I
don’t need to make my money like this.
Then, she said, “Mr. Clifford, if it’s like before-” /
“It’s not like before. I will genuinely be with you this time. Be my woman,” replied Clifford.

Zendaya thought, I see, so before, you were paying me, but now you’re nning on getting my
services for free. That’s even worse than before.
Isabe used the system a littleter to eavesdrop on the conversation. Holy cr*p, is this for real? Is
he suddenly realizing he likes the substitute and wants to have a happy ending with her? Could it
really be this clichéd?
Upon hearing that, Alexander was taken aback. In truth, he genuinely thought that Clifford would
pick ine.
Even Zendaya was baffled by Clifford’s choice.
The edges of her lips twitched, and she was on the verge of vehemently refusing. However, Clifford
suddenly said something unexpected. “However, I will still get back together with ine. Perhaps I’ll
event marry her. I hope you won’t obsess over titles,”
Zendaya’s jaw dropped. “What? I didn’t quite catch that
Clifford frowned, appearing genuinely distressed. “This is the best solution I’vee up with after
much consideration. However we must keep this from ine. She has a temper and I doubt she
could ept our rtionship. For your sake, I’m wronging ine. As long as you behave, I’ll
provide money and some love to you. If you want children in the future, that’s possible, too. Aside
from a title, I won’t let feel aggrieved,”

The expression on Zendaya’s face gradually turned vacant. She remeinbered the care ine had
just shown her and couldn’t help but ask, “Are you suggesting that you’ll marry ine while still
supporting me as your mistress and then hide our rtionship from her?”
“Don’t make it sound so unpleasant. There’s no other choice.” Clifford felt that was the best
arrangement. [/ both of them are fond of me, and I can’t bear to part from either of them, why should
I choose instead of having them both? While there are many oddballs around me, that’smon in
high society. My dad has several mistresses, and my mom has her own outlet for venting, too. Yet,
our family remained harmonious. Zendaya’s an orphan, so she’s a perfect candidate to be my
mistress. Moreover, Zendaya is typically well–behaved and always knows her ce. It’s clear she
understands the disparity between our statuses and knows that a future between us is impossible.
That must be why she’s so insecure and eager to leave me. Her behavior today is also unusual, as
if her personality drastically changed after being provoked. It’s clearly because she’s afraid she
won’t have a chance to receive my love anymore now that ine has returned. In that case, I’ll just
have to reassure her that I want her.
Clifford gazed intently at Zendaya, finally allowing his affection for her to show in his eyes. He was
about to reach out and touch her face because she was frozen and he was genuinely worried that
she might

burst into tears out of sheer joy.
Before he could touch her, a pping sound echoed throughout the party.
The venue instantly fell silent as the crowd turned to the origin of the noise.

At that point, Isabe was so upset that she had already sat up. Darn, why didn’t she p him in
the face? What the heck is this sem thinking?
With a serious expression, Alexander looked at Clifford, He hadn’t expected that Clifford would
arrive at the worst possible conclusion after such lengthy consideration.
Clifford looked at his hand, which had been harshly smacked. The back of his hand was all red.
Yet, Clifford wasn’t angry. Instead, he merely issued a warning nce to those around him. The
spectating bystanders naturally moved away immediately, pretending they weren’t eavesdropping.
In reality, they couldn’t hear anything.
Then, he turned back to Zendaya. “I understand your unwillingness to ept it, but this is already
the biggest concession I can make.”
As Zendaya red at Clifford, her eyes were turning red.
Beat him up! I got your back. Such a despicable man won’te to his senses unless you give him
a good thrashing. Where on earth does he get the audacity to make such demands? Isabe was
already itching to stand up. Even if she couldn’t say anything, at the very least, she wanted to pull
Zendaya away to prevent thetter from being so infuriated that she might spit blood. However,
Alexander stopped her.
Immediately, Isabe nced at him with dissatisfaction. However, Alexander gestured for her to
look into the distance.
ine was seen approaching briskly with excitement. She held a bundle of documents tightly in her
hand.
When she spotted Zendaya trembling in rage with reddened eyes and Clifford, she immediately
thought he was bullying Zendaya again.
Without hesitation, she rushed over, pulled Zendaya away, and positioned her in front of thetter.
“Clifford, what are you doing?”
