The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 135
“Why would I be against that? I wee you too!” Alex smiled immediately.
Brittany rolled her eyes. “That’s more I like it.”
She then greeted Nichs and Chloe, who followed behind Alex. “Nichs, you came by too. Oh, what
a beautiful girl. Is she your girlfriend?”
Nichs shook his head and denied. “No, no, Mrs. Rockefeller. She’s Alex’s friend.”
Alex said, “Mom, let me introduce you to her. This is Chloe Zea. I recruited her as an employee for your
company. She’s an amazing saleswoman, hard working too. Most importantly, she’s a very nice
person.”
Brittany smiled brightly as she led Chloe to the table, asking her to take a seat.
Maya smiled as well. “Mom, dessert is almost ready, I’ll serve it now!”
Alex spat out the tea that he had just started drinking. “What did you call her?”
Maya lifted her gaze. “Your mom is my mom from now on.”
She then wore a pair of slippers and walked into the kitchen.
Alex froze. Brittany smiled and didn’t exin either. He chased after Maya and pulled her to the side.
“Maya, you… you’re confusing me. What do you mean by that? Could it be that you’ve agreed to
bing my second wife like mom asked you to?”
This had been an ongoing joke between the three for more than a year.
Maya and Brittany had been acquainted for quite a while, growing closer as time passed. Alex knew
that Brittany preferred Maya over Dorothy. However, Alex liked Dorothy, so Brittany decided not to
interfere with their rtionship.
Back then, Brittany had joked about having Maya be Alex’s second wife if they were to be living in
ancient times.
Maya turned to look at him and took a step forward. Her whole body was pressed against his. She
wasn’t afraid of such intimate touch at all. She smiled slyly and said, “Yeah, I did. Are you happy?”
“I…” Alex was speechless.
Suddenly, Maya pushed him away and took a nce at his pants, chuckling. “Dream on! Did you really
think you can have two at the same time? Listen up, I won’t be your second wife! You’d have to call me
Sis from now on. Get it, Lil Bro?”
“What… do you mean?”
“What I mean is that I have be Mrs. Rockefeller’s goddaughter. So you’re my godbrother now,
dummy! Okay, enough talking,e help me out in the kitchen. I made arge batch of desserts!”
“Huh? Why aren’t you at work?”
“I resigned. I’ll be focusing on taking care of our mom from now on.”
Alex was only able to understand the reason for Maya’s actions after a long pause.
Looking at Maya’s beautiful figure, he started to understand… His mother had just healed from her
sickness, yet she lost her husband as well. Moreover, she was betrayed by her family, herpany
had been devoured, and her reputation ruined. With all this going on, she must be in pain.
However, Brittany was very headstrong. She would hide those negative feelings deep inside her heart
and not express them in front of him.
As a man, Alex wasn’t as caring and loving as a woman.
“Thanks, M—Sis.”
Maya picked up a te of brownies and said softly, “Mom has had it roughtely. You should talk to her
more if you have the time. She… cried just a while ago.”
Alex clenched his fists and released them slowly, nodding in agreement.
After ting the brownies, Maya said, “Okay now, I’ll serve this. Wash up a few tes will you?”
Suddenly, as she picked up the te, she whimpered. “Ow, that’s hot.”
Her hands were slightly red as well.
Alex immediately grabbed her hand and dragged her to the sink. He ran cold water on her burn and
furrowed his eyebrows. “Why are you so clumsy?”
After a brief while of running cold water, he lifted her hand up to check on the burn again. “How do you
feel? Does it still hurt?”

Maya stared at Alex, his stern yet caring expression melted her heartpletely.
However, when he turned to look at her, she scrunched up her nose. “It’s just a little burn, it doesn’t hurt
at all. Look at you all panicky, aren’t you just the silliest?”
Alex flung her hand away. “I was worried that you burnt your hand. Yet you’re calling me silly. What do I
do with you?”
