Chapter 790 Too Old For You


    Exin? What do I have to exin? Did he see the message I sent in the group chat? At that


    thought, Mike immediately took out his phone to check. After ascertaining Keh wasn''t in the


    group, he let out a sigh of relief. Phew. Thank goodness. But aside from this, what else do I need to


    exin? I didn''t do anything recently.


    While pondering on that, he prepared to get in the car.


    Just as he was about to leave, Alexia hurried out of the ward.


    Noticing him, she called out. “Mike, wait for me!”


    He turned around and sized her up with a frown. “Why did youe out? Have your injuries


    healed?”


    “Almost.” She walked over, opened the car door, and got in.

    Seeing that, Mike got into the car too. “Where are you going?”


    Alexia turned to look at him and uttered in an undertone, “I''ll go wherever you go.”


    “Will you still follow me if I say I''m going home?” he asked.


    “If that''s really where you''re going, I''ll follow you home.”


    Mike was rendered speechless.


    “If not, let''s stop talking nonsense.” She fastened her seatbelt as she spoke.


    Staring at her, Mike seemed to have guessed something. “Dave told you to recuperate here and


    wait until you''re fully recovered before going back.”


    “My wounds have healed.” Alexia insisted.


    “Do you think I''m clueless about your health condition?” He waved his hand at her. “Get out of the


    car.”


    However, she showed no inclination to heed his order. “You know very well that even if you don''t


    take me with you, I''ll still go back on my own!”


    Mike furrowed his brows. “Why are you being so stubborn, youngdy?”


    Alexia was instantly displeased after listening to the way he addressed her and raised her voice.


    “I''ve said this before; I''m not a youngdy anymore!”


    Mike knew she didn''t like being called young, but he had never seen her so anxious. He was slightly


    stunned, taking in her flushed face.


    Alexia realized she had overreacted and averted her gaze. “I''m sorry. I didn''t do that on purpose,


    but I''m not a child anymore.”


    Mike gazed downward and contemted for a few seconds before getting into the vehicle.


    However, instead of starting the car, he hesitated briefly and said, “You''re impatient to return


    because of Keh, right?”


    Alexia was slightly dazed.


    Her silence provided him with the most definitive answer.


    “You saw the message in the group chat?” he arched his brow.


    “I don''t know what you''re talking about.” Instead of looking at him, she gazed out the window, clearly


    trying to avoid discussing that matter.


    Mike smirked after hearing her response. “Normally, shouldn''t you ask me what''s the message in


    the group chat about?”


    Alexia remained quiet.


    He fathomed what she was thinking, so he pondered for a moment and said, “Alexia, I know you


    may not be happy to hear this, but as a brotherly figure who has watched you grow up, I still wish to


    remind you not to harbor too many fantasies about Keh. Although he''s a nice person, he''s not


    suitable for you. Putting aside the fact that he already has children, there''s no way you can even


    control him because of the differences in your personalities.”


    Hearing that, she turned to gaze at him. “Are you implying only that woman is most suitable for


    him?”


    “I''m not sure whether they are most suitable for each other, but I know she''s the first woman to have


    won Keh''s affection.”


    “I''ve never wanted to control him. I will respect his thoughts and wishes.”


    “Alexia, are you admitting that you''re in love with Keh?” Mike asked.


    Alexia was stunned. Throughout the conversation, she didn''t express the slightest resistance or


    refusal. Although she had never been in a rtionship, she couldn''t deny that she had fantasized


    about being with Keh countless times.


    Alexia didn''t know if that feeling was considered love. I''m willing to die for Keh, so I suppose


    this is love, right?


    She looked up at Mike and nodded. “Yes. I admit it.”


    Mike knitted his brows. “D-Do you know what that means?”


    “What?”


    “You''re bing the third party in Keh''s rtionship. That''s something despicable,” he said.


    I''ve watched her grow up since the first day she joined DX Group. She''s great in every aspect aside


    from being too stubborn. Hence, as a brotherly figure to her, I don''t want her to walk a path of no


    return.


    However, Alexia spoke up. “I know, but you can rest assured. I will never interfere in their


    rtionship. I will wait until they split up.”


    “What if they don''t split up in their lifetime?” he questioned her.


    “In that case, I''ll wait for him for a lifetime!”


    Frustration surged within Mike as he stared at her. “Alexia, why are you behaving like a fool? I''m


    just curious what''s so good about Keh? He''s good-looking, rich, and perhaps indeed a little


    charming. Still, aside from these, what other things about him make you so obsessed with him?”


    Alexia bored her eyes into Mike in silence. What other reason do I need? Are the points he


    mentioned not sufficient?


    On second thought, Mike realized there was indeed something wrong with his statement. He


    immediately uttered, “Considering your age gap, Keh is no different from an old manpared


    to you. You''re still so young, so why waste your time on him?”


    Nheless, Alexia appeared to have steeled her resolution. “Everyone is free to make their own


    decision. Let''s go.”


    Mike was rendered speechless.


    Sensing she was no longer interested in conversing further, he had no choice but to start the car


    and drive out of the base.


    Meanwhile, inside the base, Dave was looking at the big screen in the control room while his


    technicians worked hard to fix the issue.


    “How is it?” Keh asked.


    Hearing the voice, Dave turned around to gaze at him. “Why are you here?”


    “Can I not be here when something like this happened?” Keh answered his question with a


    question.


    Just as Dave was about to speak further, he noticed Natasha and was momentarily stunned. “Why


    is she here?”


    “I brought reinforcement,” Keh answered tersely.


    Dave nced at him before shifting his attention to Natasha. “Wee to DX Group. I hope you


    enjoy your time here as a guest.”


    Natasha smiled and nodded. Before she could say anything, Keh frowned. “Isn''t she one of us?


    How can you consider her a guest?”


    Naturally, Dave refused to back down. He looked at Keh and said, “Are you saying you n to


    return to DX Group? If that''s the case, of course your family is considered one of us.”


    “An ex-member doesn''t count?” Keh asked.


    “You''re the one who said that, not me.” Dave shook his head.


    Keh narrowed his eyes. “That''s not what you told me when I first came here.”


    “I was just being polite at that time. Don''t take my words too seriously.”


    Hearing that, Keh gave him a faint nod. “All right, then. Since he has said that, we shouldn''t


    stay here and get on others'' nerves. I think we should leave, Nat.”


    Natasha knew they were merely bantering, so she chirped, “Can you two quit messing around?


    Didn''t you two argue enough at home? I can''t believe you''re still bickering here.”


    “He started it.”


    “This is all his fault.”


    The two uttered simultaneously.


    After saying that, both men exchanged nces.


    Seeing that, Natasha slightly arched her brow. “It seems like you two are quite in sync.”


    As they were fooling around, someone piped up, “Dave, that person is here again!”
