Chapter156 Even though Wren didn't want to admit it, he had to face the truth, Alexander's presenice made him feel deeply threatened.
He was afraid that Claramight fall in love with another ma Alexander? Imagining that possibility was enough to drive him crazy. How could he possibly stay calm when facing I'm not interested in your Sinclair family's affairs, as long as you stay away from clara. It you keep your distance, I naturally won't meddle in your business." When passed briefly, his tone unreadable. "Your father has been looking for you. I think it's only a matter of tbefore he finds you." Alexander's eyes narrowed dangerously, and he gave a faint, amused smile. "Buthat a threat, Mr. Zachman?“. "No, I'm proposing a deal" Surprise flickered across Alexander's eyes. "Let's hear it" "You cto a place like this because you don't want Mr. Sinclair to find you. I can help with that in exchange, you need to take care of Clara while she's in the hospital, deliver sthings to her for me, and also keep this a secret. Don't let her know that I was the one who saved her." Alexander was visibly taken aback. He eyed Wren with hesitation, as though struggling to trust him "Aren't you the one tellingto stay away from her? Is this a test?" "It's not." Wren's reply was crisp. He rested his hands on the ring, gazing out at the pitch-black night, his expression tinged with faint melancholy.
A birter smile crossed his face. "When Clara wakes up, the last person she would want to see is me. Staying away is the best thing I can do for her. I've already arranged for others to take care of her, but I know her. She doesn't like troubling people she doesn't know well "In this place, you're the p e person she's most familiar with. If you're the one looking after her, she'll feel at ease and stay in the hospital for a couple of days. "Moreover, there is indeed one more thing I need your help with." Before Alexander appeared, Wren had originally planned to have John and his wife show up as Clara's supposed rescuers and take care of her for a couple of days. But he worried that Clara wouldn't accept their help. There were also questions he needed answers to Questions he didn't trust John to ask on his behall. Alexander didn't respond immediately. He scrutinized Wren, trying to find any cracks in his facade. But there were none. Wren's expression carried only faint melancholy and calmness After a few seconds of silence, Alexander finally looked up at Wien. "Fine," Wien wasn't surprised by his agreement, just as he was about to speak, Alexander continued, "but this isn't a disal between us. I'm willing to take care of Clara because we're friends. She's not a bargaining chip, so there's no need for you to do anything forin return." If that
Alexander's tone was candid. If the fear and worry he'd felt upon seeing Wren holding an unconscious clara hadn't betrayed his his emotions, he might have convinced himself Clara was just an ordinary neighbor and friend in his life.
At that moment, Alexander hadn't had tto think deeply. The only thought in his mind was that he had to see Clara and ensure she was safe.
He told himself it wasn't love, but the significance Clara held in his heart om was far greater than he had anticipated. At the very least, he couldn't tell Wren that he had no feelings for her whatsoever Wren's brow furrowed imperceptibly as a sharp intuition sparked within him. He hesitated for a moment before finally making up his mind.
"Alright Then, I'll thank you on Clara's behalf." Chooter 15h
