Chapter 161: Third Wheel

Alex glanced at him with indifference. "Mr. Hans, I don’t remember what you’re referring to."

"Heh, that’s fine," Tom said awkwardly. "Since you don’t recall, I won’t say more." He looked at Simon. "Apologize again!"

Simon, though unwilling, swallowed his pride and repeated, "I’m sorry, Alex. Please don’t take offense."

"Hmph," Alex said coldly. "I don’t care about you, but you’ll pay for your actions!"

"What should I do to make amends?" Simon asked hesitantly.

"Spare me, Alex! I promise I won’t do anything stupid again!"

"You better remember that," Alex warned before turning to Claire. "The banquet is starting. Let’s go."

"Okay," Claire said, holding his arm as they walked away.

Tom hurried after them. "Alex, may I know Mrs. Miller’s name?"

Alex ignored him, and Claire remained silent.

Simon watched Claire with lustful eyes. Her white dress hugged her curves, and her beauty was undeniable.

Alex noticed and shot him a cold glare. Simon trembled in fear.

Tom pulled Simon aside. "Don’t be stupid! Mrs. Miller is married! If you have ideas, Alex won’t let you off!"

"I understand," Simon gritted out.

Relieved, Tom relaxed.

Meanwhile, the host announced loudly, "Let’s welcome today’s bride and groom!"

The doors opened, and Lucy walked in on Mr. Celine’s arm.

Applause and cheers erupted.

Alex and Claire exchanged smiles. Seeing her mother happy, Claire felt at peace.

More than an hour later, the guests began leaving.

Alex took Claire to the rooftop terrace. The view of the city was breathtaking. He held her hand gently.

"Claire, now that your parents’ wedding is done, it’s our turn."

He pulled out a diamond ring.

"This is the ring I proposed with," Alex said seriously. "Now, it’s finally yours."

His eyes softened with affection.

Claire’s eyes misted. She hadn’t expected Alex to keep the ring for so long.

Taking the ring, she whispered, "This day was bound to come. I won’t let you down."

"Let’s get married," Claire said softly.

Hearing that, Alex hugged her tightly.

"I knew you’d agree. This day has finally come," he said, overjoyed.

"We’ll hold an engagement ceremony soon and have a grand wedding!" Alex declared excitedly.

Claire nodded. "I’ll follow your lead."

He kissed her forehead gently, trembling with emotion.

Claire smiled. His kiss made her feel loved and cherished.

In the shadows, Josh watched with a bitter smile.

His heart was heavy with frustration as he looked at Claire. The bitterness surged through him, flooding his mind.

Josh, who reacted hastily, shook his head.

"No, Claire is his sister! He can’t have unreasonable thoughts about Claire!"

This would only destroy the relationship between the two.

Thinking of this, he calmed down a little.

He took a deep breath, took a step, and left the place.

As night fell, Alex and Claire’s room was brightly lit and warm as spring.

Claire looked at herself in the mirror and couldn’t help lowering her head shyly.

Tonight, she was wearing pure white lace pajamas. Her shoulders were exposed, and her snow-white shoulders were glimpsed, sexy and seductive.

Alex sat on the edge of the bed, staring at her quietly, his eyes full of obsession.

Claire looked at Alex’s obsessed expression, couldn’t help but smile, and asked:

"What are you looking at?"

"You are so beautiful!"

Alex said honestly. His voice was a little hoarse, revealing a strong magnetism. Claire pursed her lips and said:

"Alex, have you picked up girls a lot in the past few years when I wasn’t here? How did you become so glib?"

"Yeah?"

Alex smiled and shook his head. Fiery flames flickered in his eyes.

His throat rolled, and his voice became even hoarse: "Claire, do you know? You are really my destined other half. After I fell in love with you, I can’t go to other girls anymore!"

Claire’s pretty face turned red when she heard Alex’s love words.

She said coquettishly:

"Don’t forget, I’m already your wife in name,"

"It’s like you just fell in love."

After finishing speaking, Claire turned her head away, not daring to look at Alex.

Alex didn’t intend to stop talking about love.

"Claire, we’ve been married for so long, but we haven’t had a serious relationship. Do you know what I mean?"

Alex continued.

Claire was silent and did not respond immediately.

"You don’t know, every time I see you, I want to kiss you, I want to hug you, I want to do anything with you. But every time, I control myself."

Alex’s voice was a little dark.

Claire raised her head and looked at him in surprise.

Seeing Claire’s eyes, Alex quickly said:

"Claire, I’m just too excited. These years, I have been working hard, and I hope to give you happiness."

"But I found that this is far from enough. I always wanted to have a chance to love you well."

"But when the day finally came, I was a little uneasy."

"So, I want to ask you to give me a chance to take care of you, cherish you, and make you happy!"

Claire’s eyes turned red.

She knew what Alex was thinking, but she didn’t know that he loved her so much. She knew that Alex had paid a lot for her. Her heart was also a little moved. For so many years, he has never forgotten her. At this point, Claire is clear in her heart. There was a burst of guilt in her heart.

"Alex."

She opened her mouth, but stopped talking.

Alex held her hands and said softly:

"Claire, no matter what happens, I will be by your side and will never leave you."

He looked at Claire deeply, his eyes were extremely hot.

"Um."

Claire nodded and took the initiative to lean on Alex’s chest.

Alex caressed Claire’s beautiful hair, with a doting look in his eyes.

The banquet tonight was very grand. The wedding of Mr. Celine and Miss Sophia caused a sensation in City A. The two major powers of the Greg family and the Miller family got married, and the wedding banquet was held with great splendor.

The wedding lasted for three or four hours, and the guests dispersed.

Mr. Celine and his wife saw off the last guests before returning to their new house. Sophia stood in front of the mirror, grooming herself carefully. She was wearing a white gauze dress and a flower crown on her head, and she looked extraordinarily noble.

"Honey, it’s a beautiful night."

Celine hugged his wife from behind and kissed her ear gently. Sophia twisted and said softly:

"It’s so beautiful, it’s not that I was deceived by you, an old man."

"Hehe..."

Celine smiled heartily.

"Honey, what do you think of my makeup today?"

Sophia turned her head and looked at him with anticipation. He also looked at her seriously, then nodded:

"Exquisite!"

A look of joy appeared on Sophia’s cheeks.

"Then do you have a feeling of surprise?"

She teased on purpose.

She wanted to seduce Celine.

Upon hearing this, smiled and said:

"Stunning is a bit amazing, but you are so beautiful, you are not suitable for makeup."

After finishing speaking, he approached Sophia and said ambiguously:

"Why don’t we do something else?"

After speaking, he picked up Sophia and walked into the bedroom.

Hearing a sound from the next room, Josh’s face turned blue and white.

These two people are already over half a hundred years old, and they are still like this...

He endured for a while and finally sighed helplessly.

He got up, put on his coat, opened the door, and went out.

Seeing this, the steward hurriedly greeted him and said:

"Master, it’s so late, where are you going?"

Josh paused,

Looking back at the butler:

"I’m going to be away for a while. During this time, take good care of the old lady."

"Yes."

The butler said respectfully.

After Josh left, he went straight to the garage.

He drove away and came downstairs to the Grey family Group.

"Boss."

Seeing Josh’s figure, the security guard rushed to meet him and shouted,

"It’s so late, why did you come to the company? The power is off, are you going to the office?"

Josh nodded slightly and gave a soft "Hmm."

Seeing this, the security guard didn’t dare to neglect him and said, "Okay, I’ll turn on the light for you right now, just wait a moment."

After speaking, he took out the key and opened the company elevator door for Josh.

Josh walked into the elevator and pressed the button for the top floor.

"Ding dong..."

The elevator door opened slowly, and Josh went straight to his office. The door to the office was closed, but the lights inside were on. Josh pushed the door open and entered. Then the door to the inner room opened. After a while, he lay on the bed, feeling very complicated.

It seemed that he had to buy a house of his own as soon as possible. He didn’t want to be watched, and he didn’t want others to control his dynamics. He didn’t even want to be a third wheel every day, delaying the development of his parent’s relationship.
