Chapter 44: Came home drunk

She screamed in surprise, and her whole body stiffened so much that she couldn’t move. The butler quickly turned his eyes away and walked to the bedroom door, closing the lights and saying, "Madam, I leave you to it."

"Madam, I won’t disturb you any longer. Please rest early with the young master," he said before quickly stepping out of the bedroom. Claire opened her mouth to say something, but all she got in response was a closed door. He lay motionless on top of Claire making it difficult for her to breathe.

Since no one could help her, she had to struggle to push Alex’s body away. However, he was too heavy, and she couldn’t move him at all.

"Don’t move," his hoarse voice sounded in her ear.

Claire’s body stiffened, and a hint of anger rose in her heart. She said indignantly, "If you’re not drunk, get up!"

After her words fell, there was a heavy breathing from the man on top of her. Claire pushed him hard, saying. "Alex, you’re crushing me!"

The man didn’t move a muscle. She was angry and anxious. She kicked her legs and cursed, "What do you want!?"

Alex opened his eye looked at her with a deep and dangerous gaze. Claire was scared and trembling all over. "Are you drunk or not?" she asked. Before she could finish her sentence,

Alex suddenly kissed her sealing her lips. Claire struggled violently and hit him with all her might. "Bastard! Let me go of me" she shouted. But held her tightly in his arms, as if he had made up his mind, and was not afraid even when she hit him. He only let her go when she stopped struggling.

Claire lay on the bed, breathing heavily, her chest heaving and her eyes slightly red.

"Alex, what’s wrong with you?" she glared at the man sitting beside her and shouted. Alex looked at her towel around her which were half off, her chest heavy and her cheeks flushed, and she looked stunningly beautiful. Huh" Alex sneered, "l am indeed crazy"

"I’ve lived for so long, and I actually got drunk for a woman..."

Alex laughed at himself, his eyes narrowed, shining with an unpredictable light, like the stars in the dark night.

Claire trembled with fear at his words, feeling a sense of panic rising in her heart.

"How come, are you scared?" Alex suddenly asked.

Claire gritted her teeth and forced herself to say

"What nonsense are you talking about! What do I have to be afraid of?"

"Heh" Alex chuckled lightly. his eyes cold and full of sarcasm. "Louis said that women say one thing but mean another. Looking at you like this, I suddenly feel that he’s right..."

"That’s enough!" Claire was furious and ashamed, "Who’s saying one thing but meaning another? I don’t know what Louis and you talked about, but I only treat him as my colleague!"

After listening, Alex’s eyes swept over her coldly, his gaze sinister, like a demon crawling out of hell, terrifying.

"What about me?" He spoke softly. his voice carrying a hoarse magnetism. Claire was stunned for a few seconds, then snorted coldly. "Alex really loves to joke. You are the heir of Miller’s Group. How could you possibly have any relationship with a lowly small clinic owner like me?"

"Is that so?" Alex raised his lips and smiled, his tone playful, his eyes sharp, as if he could see through all. "So, you’re keeping your distance from me because you think our status is too different?"

His gaze locked onto Claire’s eyes, as if he could penetrate the deepest secrets of her heart, making her feel uneasy. Alex’s eyes were too invasive, as if she was deceiving him and hiding the deepest secrets that he had discovered, which made her very angry

"Don’t label me, Mr. Miller!" Claire was furious. "We’re not familiar with each other, so how can we talk about status differences?"

Alex raised his eyebrows, meaningfully. "Oh? If that’s the case, why are you avoiding me?"

Claire was choked by his questioning and said angrily, "Don’t flatter yourself, Mr. Miller! I’m not avoiding you because you’re Mr. Miller! It’s because I don’t like you! You’re not the type of person I want so l don’t want to talk to you!"

ls that so?" Alex smiled indifferently, his eyes sharp. "Since you don’t like me, then that night..."

"Shut up!"

Claire shouted and covered Alex’s mouth in a panic. Her action was too abrupt, which aroused Alex’s vigilance and displeasure. He grabbed her hand and looked at her with a gloomy expression. "Claire, we are already husband and wife, I don’t understand why you still want to avoid me..."

Claire pursed her lips and refuse to speak. She couldn’t tell him the truth that she was tired of the scheming and wanted to give up. After all, Alex had never done anything out of line to make her misunderstand.

"l don’t know."’ she shook her head.

Alex stared at her for a long time, suddenly laughed, "Then just wait and see." After speaking, he turned sideways and hugged her tightly, burying his head deeply in her neck. The faint fragrance belonging to her lingered in his nose, as he his closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep. The next morning, when Claire woke up, she found that she was the only one in the bed. There was no one in the room.

She quickly got out of bed, ran into the bathroom to wash up, changed her clothes, and hurried to the hospital. She didn’t sleep well all night because of his disturbance last night. By the time she got up, it was almost time for her scheduled treatment with Mr. Neville Powell.

"Director Smith, Mr. Powell is already waiting for you in your office." Neville’s bodyguard reminded her in a low voice

"Sorry" She apologized and hurried to the door of the office, knocking on the door. A majestic and old voice came from inside the room, "Please come in." Claire walked in. Mr. Powell was dressed in a fashionable gray suit and sat on a chair with a cane. As soon as she saw him, she immediately bowed respectfully and said, "I’m sorry, Mr. Powell, for being late."

"Hahaha, no need for so much courtesy. Alex has already greeted me" the old man smiled gently and gestured to his side, "Since we are all Family, don’t be so formal. Let’s sit down and chat together."

Claire was stunned and then noticed a familiar figure sitting next to the old man, it was Alex.
