Chapter 328 She Doesn't Love Him
She worked for him all night and didn't want to tell him, so she became a little irritable and threw a few tantrums. It was reasonable.
As for why she didn't tell him, he thought it might be because they were already divorced, so she wanted to keep her distance but couldn't help worrying about him.
Alexander found this reason quite reasonable.
Mia saw the gentle look in Alexander's eyes and commented, "It seems like your ex-wife is good to you. She cares about you so much."
Mia's words caused a slight change in Alexander's gentle gaze. He felt a bit uncomfortable and stood up from the chair. "Regardless, you should persuade her not to stay up all night. Her body is so weak. What if something happens?"
"I tried to make her sleep earlier, but she didn't listen to me. She's not a child anymore. Can I still force her? Besides, I thought she would sleep early, not just for herself, but also for..." Mia suddenly went blank.
She almost let it slip.
Alexander looked at Mia with confusion. "For what?"
Mia smiled and said, "I thought she would go to sleep, not just for herself, but also to prevent her grandmother from worrying about her."
Mia's words sounded a bit unnatural, but also made sense, so she managed to keep it hidden.
She originally wanted to say that Ava should think about her unborn child.
In fact, Mia was also curious about how Alexander would react if he knew Ava was pregnant.
But she promised Ava not to say anything, and she couldn't tell him without permission. If things got worse, it would be bad.
Alexander still looked puzzled, feeling that Mia's words seemed to be hiding something.
But based on Mia's appearance, he couldn't seem to figure it out.
He was about to ask further questions when Mia took the lead and said, "Ava is so good to you, yet you don't cherish her. You insist on marrying Isabella. Would Isabella stay up late for you as Ava does?"
Alexander fell silent. He frowned. "Don't mention her. She's already sick now. Stop belittling her."
"I'm not belittling her. I'm criticizing you, and I'm saying this to your face. I think you are blind, abandoning Ava and insisting on being with someone else. You are as foolish as your father."
"My father was foolish, I admit it." Alexander's face turned even colder than before, and his voice became a bit annoyed. "I know you once loved him, but I'm different from Ava."
"What's different?" Mia asked.
"Ava."
As he said that, Alexander felt a pang in his heart.
Now that they were divorced, what was the use of saying all this? Mia wouldn't understand.
Ava didn't love him, so how could he force her?
Ava even told him in person that she wasn't happy with him and had enough of this marriage.
Those words were like etched into his marrow, they would hurt him whenever he thought about them.
Seeing the disappointment in Alexander's eyes, Mia seemed to sense something. "Have you ever had a proper conversation with Ava?"
Mia felt that a good conversation was needed, not between her and Alexander, but between Ava and Alexander.
They seemed to have a lot of unspoken thoughts and feelings for each other.
Alexander sighed softly. "We have talked. We're divorced now, and it's better this way. We don't have to argue like we used to."
Every time she cried, he would feel guilty.
Alexander's fingers gently brushed over the notebook on the table, his gaze deep.
"Mom, I'm going back now. Don't tell Ava that I came today, and don't tell her that I know about these documents."
"Why?" Mia asked.
"Since she doesn't want to tell me, I'll pretend not to know. Let her have a good night's sleep. Please take good care of her."
Mia nodded gently. "Okay."
