Chapter 605 Too Rude
William tightened his fists. "Alexander, what are you so smug about? It's just a text message, which proves that Ava cares about me more than she does about you."
"Of course, she cares about you," Alexander responded with a smile, "You're so fragile now, needing her care every day. You're already an adult but can't protect yourself. It's pathetic. You got yourself all injured, almost died, and now you remember nothing, relying on a woman to take care of you. It's truly disgraceful."
"Alexander!" William lunged forward and grabbed him by the collar. "What are you so arrogant? Ava told me herself that you divorced her for another woman. You're just a scumbag. You can't be with her now, so you're saying these things to provoke me. Let me tell you. Ava is mine. She will always be mine. Every night, she sleeps in my arms, and the only man who can hold her is me, not you. You'll never have that chance in your life!"
Alexander's eyes flared with anger. He wanted to punch William hard, but remembering Ava's pleading eyes, he suppressed his fury. For Ava's sake, he couldn't be impulsive.
Alexander's clenched fists gradually loosened. He grabbed William's wrist. "William, I promised Ava I wouldn't bully you. In your current state, you're no match for me. I won't bully the weak. When you recover, I don't mind having a proper fight with you."
He yanked William's hand away and tossed it aside.
William, like an enraged lion, was about to retaliate when suddenly, a figure appeared in the distance.
A sly glint flashed in William's eyes. He suddenly approached Alexander and raised his hand toward him.
Alexander, quick to react, grabbed William's hand and gritted his teeth. "Do you want to fight?"
"What, you don't dare?" William seemed to provoke him deliberately.
Alexander squinted his eyes and said, "I promised Ava I wouldn't hit you."
He let go of William's hand, unwilling to escalate the conflict.
Suddenly, William staggered back a few steps, fell to the ground, and hit his head hard against the wall.
A look of surprise crossed Alexander's eyes. He had used force, but not enough to knock him down. He had only let go of his hand. How could this man...
Suddenly, Alexander realized something. He heard hurried footsteps behind him, accompanied by an angry woman's voice. "Alexander, what are you doing!"
Alexander turned around to see Ava walking toward him angrily. She stood in front of him, raised her hand, and slapped him hard. "Alexander, you're too much. Are you towards !"
"Ava, what are you doing?" Isabella saw Ava slap Alexander and immediately ran over. "How can you hit him? That's too rude!"
Ava said coldly, "Then take a look at what he did."
Alexander silently lowered his eyes, a bitter smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
What was the burning pain on his face compared to the real agony in his heart? That slap shattered his heart.
He watched as Ava stormed past him, rushing to William's side. She knelt, gasping his arm with a worried expression. "William, are you okay?"
