Chapter 26 I Can Give You Everything Except Love
To find that sexy man, Katherine had to pass by Alexander. Katherine didn't look at Alexander, but she felt his gaze, full of mixed emotions.
She walked past without glancing, but out of nowhere, a foot tripped her!
It was as if, by some strange coincidence, Katherine had lost her balance and fallen onto Alexander's sturdy chest.
The onlookers fell silent instantly, the scene as quiet as death.
Hilton, always one for drama, whistled, breaking the stillness!
People started whispering and gossiping.
"She's really bold, daring to choose Mr. Melville!"
"Who does she think she is, going after Mr. Melville?"
"She must be doing it on purpose!"
"Isn't the answer obvious? Which woman in Janetrick doesn't want to be associated with Mr. Melville?"
"I bet Mr. Melville will just push her away. He's not one to be taken advantage of so easily."
Katherine lifted her head, her eyelashes trembling, her eyes showing a mix of embarrassment and helplessness. "Sir..."
Alexander raised an eyebrow. "What do you want now?"
Katherine sighed and explained, "Sir, please don't misunderstand. I didn't choose you!"
Alexander's gaze turned cold. "Is that so?"
Katherine nodded. "Yes! The person I want to choose is over there! I just accidentally tripped. I'm sorry, I'll get up right away!"
As she was about to get up, the man who had been playing games with Alexander ran over and scolded, "Are you looking to die? How dare you touch Mr. Melville? Get up quickly, don't make Mr. Melville angry!"
Katherine, of course, remembered. But Alexander's large hand suddenly pressed on her waist, preventing her from getting up!
The mature and deep man raised his eyes, looking at the frivolous man with calm and unruffled eyes. "And if I don't let her get up?"
The man was stunned, unable to speak, his face full of shock.
Katherine made a small gesture, pointing towards the sexy man. "Sir, I didn't mean to touch you. I want to choose that person. Please let me go..."
Alexander glanced sideways at the man over there, his ocean-blue eyes turning dark.
Katherine tried to get up again, her waist just straightening a bit, when Alexander's large hand forcefully pulled her back down...
Lips collided, even knocking against teeth!
Before she could even think, the man asked her forcefully.
Katherine's eyes widened her mind in chaos.
Although it was unexpected, since they had already kissed, there was no need to bother with the second person!
Katherine quickly made up her mind and started a 60-second countdown in her head...
Her heart seemed to beat several times faster than the seconds, and she felt flushed all over.
Finally, the minute passed, and Katherine felt a bit breathless. She nestled in Alexander's neck, too embarrassed to face anyone, waiting for her blush to fade before getting up...
It was her first real kiss, even though it didn't carry any emotional significance. But it still made her feel a bit embarrassed to have it happen in front of so many people!
Alexander sensed Katherine's shyness in his arms. His rough hand gently stroked the back of her head as if comforting a frightened little pet.
Then, Alexander raised an eyebrow and looked menacingly at the dumbfounded boy who had been playing games. "What's the matter? Not enough yet? What else do you want to do? Do you want me to join in the fun?"
The boy snapped back to reality, his face full of fear, and he stammered, "No, no! Mr. Melville, you're busy; we won't disturb you!"
With that, he turned around and ran away!
"Stop right there!" Teresa walked over with her hands on her hips.
The boy froze, all his arrogance gone, and he asked cautiously, "Do you need anything else?"
Teresa held out her hand. "Give me back my phone!"
Only then did the boy remember and quickly called his companions over to return the phone.
After getting her phone back, Teresa glared at them and said, "I told you Alexander is my uncle. Do you believe it now?"
"We believe, we believe! We were blind and didn't recognize Mount Tai! We were wrong!"
"Mr. Melville, we didn't know she was really your niece!"
"Sorry! We're really sorry!"
Who would have thought that a woman with pink hair sneaking in would turn out to be Alexander's niece? They had thought she was just another woman trying to get close to Alexander!
Luckily, it didn't turn into a big disaster!
The three playboys bowed deeply to Teresa and Katherine, apologizing, "We're sorry! Please forgive us, beautiful ladies!"
Teresa glanced at them and pointed to the exit of the SNOW club. "Get lost! I don't want to see you again!"
The three of them left in a hurry as if granted a general amnesty!
Katherine had calmed down by now and calmly got up from Alexander. "You guys continue, I'll leave first."
Teresa quickly caught up and said, "Katherine, wait for me; I'll go with you!"
Katherine and Teresa walked out of SNOW together. Sherry, who had been hiding at the restroom door, suddenly rushed out and blocked their way. "Katherine, stop right there! I have something to ask you!"
Katherine was in a bad mood and impatiently furrowed her brows. "What is it?"
Sherry demanded, "Tell me, how did you get into SNOW?"
Katherine raised an eyebrow. "Is that really so difficult?"
Her indifferent attitude made Sherry even angrier!
"Difficult? Of course, it's difficult! Even a big star like her can't get in!"
"Are you going to tell me or not?"
"There's nothing much to say."
Katherine walked around her and went straight ahead with Teresa.
Teresa glanced back at Sherry and asked, "Katherine, who is that?"
Katherine replied casually, "A relative."
Sherry gritted her teeth in anger and took a picture of Katherine and the girl with pink hair on her phone. "Fine, if I can't get it out of you, then let my dad ask you! Just wait!"
Katherine and Teresa had just left the Breaking Dawn Bar when a black McLaren stopped in front of them. The tinted window rolled down, revealing Alexander's profile. "Get in."
Katherine furrowed her brows but obediently got into the car.
Teresa also tried to get in, but Leander stopped her. "Ms. Harris, come with me. Mr. Melville asked me to take you home to reflect on your actions."
Teresa frowned, looking displeased. "Why should I reflect? Uncle Alex? Hey..."
The black McLaren sped away.
Inside the quiet car, Alexander lounged in his seat, supporting his head with one hand. There was a stern, parental look in his deep blue eyes. "A problem that could have been solved with a phone call; why did you have to show off?"
Katherine kept a calm face. "Sir, I didn't have your number."
Alexander's large hand reached out. "Give me your phone."
Without hesitation, Katherine took it out and handed it to him.
After saving his personal number on her phone, Alexander returned it to her. "Katherine, remember this. In these three months, I can give you everything except emotions. So, next time you encounter a problem, give me a call."
Katherine was taken aback and turned her head slightly to look at him, a faint smile playing on her lips. "Everything except emotions? Does that include the kiss just now?"
