Chapter 26

Right then, someone knocked on his door. “Come in.”

Britney stepped in with two cups of coffee in her hands. “I’ve brought your favorite americano drink, Alex.”

“What brings you here?” Alexander glanced up at her calmly.

“Didn’t you say that we’ll be telling Grandpa about our wedding tonight? I’m a little nervous.” Britney bit on her lower lip as she gave him a bashful smile.

“Haven’t you always visited Grandpa before we even decided to have this wedding?” Alexander didn’t bother to play along with her; he simply tore down her pretentious front.

Naturally, I have to be a little more worried now that this is the real thing. Do you think I’m dressed appropriately for tonight? Will Grandpa like this?”

Alexander didn’t even look at her. “Whatever.”
