Aitana sighed softly. “Alex usually just asks me for advice about his renovations or to go with him to pick out materials. We’re ordinary friends—how could I ask him for such a personal favor?”
Second Aunt Pollock gave her a knowing smile. “How do you know he wouldn’t agree if you don’t ask? Besides, he doesn’t have a girlfriend, and he doesn’t seem worried about being misunderstood.
Honestly, people already think you two are a couple. Even your eldest brother thought Alex was your suitor when he saw you together last time. We even talked about whether you and Alex might actually be a good match.”
