Chapter 4 Rupture
When Florence woke up again, the sun had already risen.
When she found that she had woken up in the car once again and the same man was beside her, she felt like she was dreaming.
After the hangover, she had a terrible headache.
As it wasn't the first time, Florence wasn't that flustered or surprised and quickly calmed down.
Florence put on her clothes and got out of the car. There was no one around. It was very quiet. She found a stone and sat down. Her eyes were dull as she looked into the distance.
Florence knew very well that even without the plot of Colleen and her mother, she and Thomas wouldn't last long.
She had just found out about Thomas' ambition last night. That man was always aspiring and ambitious.
If Thomas knew that she had already given birth to a child and had sex in the car with the other man twice, he would have said something worse last night.
Finding out Thomas' true self, Florence even felt a sense of relief.
She no longer had to worry about her secret being discovered by Thomas.
There was no need to feel guilty as well.
But when she thought about her father also scheming against her, thought about how sweet she had been with Thomas for a whole year, she still felt a bit sad.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Alexander had already woken up. He waited for Florence to calm down for a while before walking over with two bottles of water.
"Drink some water to moisten your throat. Last night, you cried so hard that your throat should hurt."
Alexander's serious words made Florence blush.
She hadn't forgotten about anything because of alcohol yet, so she still had memories of last night.
Florence calmed down, "Why are you at Nihilist Bar?"
Once she spoke, she found her throat was really hurting.
She remembered that she had hailed an Uber. Now that she was sober and also realized that it wasn't the car she hailed, but why was she in his car?
"This is fate." Alexander raised his eyebrows slightly, "I drove a guest to the bar and saw you at the bar entrance. Girl, you've slept with me twice now, and you still don't want to admit it?
Florence felt awkward and almost choked on the water.
"Slow down." Alexander hurriedly helped Florence stroke her back, "I have called you, but it was a non-exist number. I know you look down on me as I’m just an Uber driver. If you don't want to see me, I can leave now and will never disturb you anymore."
Oh, the tone filled with disappointment again.
Florence didn't know why, but she couldn't resist such tone of this man, and she was full of guilt.
"No, I don't look down on you." Florence took a deep breath as if she had made a decision, "My name is Florence Scott. What's your name?"
Florence had long forgotten what he had said when she was with him.
It was really unbelievable. She had known this man for less than two days, but she had been slept with him twice and she didn't even know his name.
Alexander smiled and introduced himself, "Alexander Logan, an Uber driver. I'm thirty years old and have no bad habits. I'm healthy and have normal renal function, which you have personally verified."
"Ahem!" Florence blushed with embarrassment.
Wait, Alexander Logan...
Why was this name so familiar?
The man whom she almost married was also called Alexander Logan.
However, it was rumored that Alexander was crippled and disfigured and he wouldn't be able to live long. But the man in front of her was in good health. His appearance was better than that of any male star, and he was just an ordinary driver.
It seemed that it was just the same name.
Alexander observed Florence's expression, "No brothers or sisters. I was going to get married. But because I helped you, my fiancee canceled the engagement and I 'm single now."
Alexander's eyes were sincere. Florence raised her eyes and met his deep eyes. She was shocked.
Florence recalled Thomas' cease to be faithful and calmly looked at Alexander, "Would you like to be my boyfriend?"
Alexander was stunned and suddenly smiled, "I don't want to be your boyfriend."
Florence was a little embarrassed to be rejected. Just as she was about to speak, Alexander changed the topic and said, "I want to be your husband."
Florence's eyes widened, "Isn't it too fast?"
She thought to herself that they could try step by step. The two of them had already been together twice. Perhaps they could try to get along.
If it wasn't suitable, they could separate.
Thomas could be with Colleen, so why would she be immersed in the past?
However, she had to admit that she was indeed a little vengeful for asking him to be her boyfriend.
Seeing Florence's surprised expression, Alexander was worried that he would be too hasty and scare her away.
"Then I'll take a step back and become your boyfriend first." Alexander spoke in a gentle voice, "We've only just met. We really need to understand each other first."
Why did he seem a little reluctant?
Florence asked, “Your bride has broken the engagement, so are your parents...alright? Do you need me to do something?"
"They were very sad. They went out for a vacation yesterday and couldn't be reached for the time being." Alexander spoke nonsense seriously, "I will take you to visit them when they come back."
Florence didn't think too much because she was already very hungry.
Alexander smiled and naturally took Florence's hand, "Let's go. I will take you to have a meal first."
Alexander's actions startled Florence.
She looked at their hands which were clasped together and her face turned red again.
His palm was very warm, and the touch of his skin made her feel strange.
Alexander had always been observing Florence's reaction. The corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, and a touch of cunning flashed through his eyes.
Alexander and Florence found a restaurant nearby. It was not very fancy, but it was clean and tidy.
"What do you like to eat? Order whatever you like." Alexander gave the menu to Florence, behaving like a gentleman.
Florence looked at the menu. The prices weren't too expensive. They were all very friendly to ordinary customers, so she ordered two dishes and one soup.
Alexander found that she had only ordered these and frowned, "Order a few more dishes."
"There's no need. We only have two of us. We won't be able to finish any more dishes." Florence stopped him." It's laborious to drive. It's not easy to earn money as well. Don't waste it."
Was his girlfriend saving money for him?
Alexander's brows relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on his face, "Alright, it's all up to you."
As he spoke, Alexander suddenly handed a bank card to Florence, "This is my deposit. It's not much, only tens of thousands of dollars. The password is the last six digits."
"What are you doing?" Florence was a little stunned.
"You will also be responsible for my monthly salary from now on. My monthly income is around 10,000 dollars. Now it's indeed not much. I'll work harder to earn more money and give you a better life."
Florence felt extremely flattered. They had only known each other for less than two days, but now he even gave her all his money?
"Take it yourself. I have my job and don't need your money." Florence quickly refused.
"You're my girlfriend now. It's perfectly justified for a woman to manage a man's money." Alexander pressed the bank card on Florence, "Isn't this the security what women call?"
Florence was stunned, so was Alexander giving her a sense of security?
There was a saying on the Internet that wherever a man's money was, his heart was there.
The moment she held the bank card in her hand, Florence indeed felt a sense of security.
Although the man in front of her wasn't a wealthy man, he was very sincere.
Florence had never thought of marrying into a wealthy family and living as a wife of a rich man. All she always wanted was a mundane and warm life.
She thought Thomas could give it to her, but she didn't expect Thomas to be too ambitious. He wasn't willing to be mundane and wanted to fight for the inherit.
"I'll keep it for you first. Tell me when you need money." Florence did not decline any more.
"Okay!" The corners of Alexander's mouth raised, "Just give me some pin money each month."
The dishes were served. Florence was really hungry and started eating.
Alexander ate very little and had been carefully pouring water and putting food on her plate for Florence.
The two of them ate at a roadside restaurant like an ordinary couple. William, who walked past the restaurant, was shocked by that scene.
Was he wrong?
The person in charge of the Logan family was actually having a meal with a woman at a roadside restaurant.
