Chapter 4983
Aitana looked at Alex in surprise. “When I came downstairs, you were talking with my second uncle—yet you still noticed that my smile looked forced?”
Alex smiled faintly but didn’t say anything.
Aitana sighed. “You really have a sharp eye, Alex.”
Then, after a short pause, she continued, “I suppose I was a little unhappy… probably because of Senior Joaquin. He called me just now, said his parents are in the city, and asked when I’d be free to accompany them. Every time his parents visit, it’s always Miss Yehua who takes care of them. She’s incredibly kind—to him and to his whole family.”
Her tone softened, but her words carried a trace of frustration. “He keeps her close, never rejecting her outright, so she believes she still has a chance. And at the same time, he’s chasing after me—while enjoying all the care and attention Yehua gives him.”
Aitana gave a helpless little laugh. “Honestly, if he weren’t my senior, I wouldn’t even want to pick up his calls anymore. It’s not that he has no feelings for Miss Yehua—he does. But he’s also drawn to me because of my background. I can bring him benefits, connections, a higher standing. That’s why he pursues me so persistently. But in terms of genuine love…” she shook her head, “I don’t think he really loves me that much. And truthfully, I’m not right for him either.”
