Alexander left the villa with Julia and Nicholas with the excuse of being tired. In reality, he was looking forward to spending time alone with Julia. He was seeing her after a few days and was struggling to keep his desire under control.
Nicholas had dozed off in the backseat shortly after the car began moving down the road. Julia turned her head and silently stared at him.
Alexander glanced at her from time to time. He wanted to start a conversation but remained silent due to her solemn demeanor. He was curious if she was upset about what had happened to her boutique.
"Hey…" He gave a gentle squeeze on her hand. "Are you upset?"
"No…" She smiled.
"Do you want to say something to me?" he asked, not revealing to her that he had learned about the thugs breaking into her shop.
Julia nodded slowly, her face falling. She then gradually narrated the whole story about what had happened last night.
