Chapter 85 - Dion
"Hello, sweetheart, do you miss me?" Alex asked the person on the other end of the line. Joanna felt a strange pang in her chest.
Her eyebrows raised, amazed by Alex's facial expressions and the words he spoke.
Although she couldn't hear the response from the other side, something inside her felt a sense of loss when Alex settled back into his wheelchair, tilting his head to support the phone on his ear.
Without a word to Joanna, he excused himself. She was pained, her appetite ruined, as she hurried to her room, unable to understand her emotions.
He had already mentioned that he had a woman he wanted to marry, but the reason behind his marriage to her remained unclear. Despite her efforts, things didn't make sense, leaving her entangled in this contractual relationship.
Why was she the only one feeling hurt when Alex seemed to have everything figured out?
