Although Alexander had rejected Brittany so many times, at least there were no other women by his
side. That was why he could bear her temper. Brittany felt that he loved her without knowing it. It was
apparent but unknown.
She patiently waited until Alexander found out that he liked her, but if there were an affair, she would
have a strong sense of crisis.
“That‘s true. That‘s why I was shocked when I heard about it. You never mentioned he was engaged or
anything!” Nodding, Arianna agreed with Brittany‘s statement.
“C‘mon, continue the story!” Brittany urged. Her heart was burning with anxiety.
“Anyway, it was Mr. Lodge‘s birthday, so my uncle went along with his son. After he came back, he
mentioned something like that, and I happened to hear it,” unable to hold back her fiery look, Arianna
explained the matter.
Brittany waited for a while, and when she saw that Arianna had no intention of continuing, she blinked,
“That‘s it?”
“Yep! That‘s all!” Spreading her hands, Arianna replied.
“Wait, what? There should be more! You still didn‘t say who Alex is engaged to. What did your uncle
say?” Brittany was anxious for a long time but ended up disappointed.
That‘s nothing. There‘s nothing juicy about the information Arianna gave me. How frustrating!‘
“My uncle didn‘t say anything about that. He only said that the wedding date should be near since Mr.
Russell was already engaged, and Alex needed to prepare the ceremony in advance. My uncle didn‘t
say anything else.”
Arianna was eavesdropping while Derrick told his wife these things in the other room. After all, the
ladies were the ones who usually settled the socializing and preparing gifts. Derrick had purposely
mentioned it so Arianna would be aware of the situation. Of course, she knew how much Brittany liked
Alexander and that she had been in love with him all those years.
When Brittany heard that Alexander was engaged, she immediately came to ask Arianna why she did
not tell her about it. It turned out to be a different case. As soon as Brittany heard the news, she
exploded. “He didn‘t say who the girl was?” Brittany asked reluctantly.
Arianna shook her head, “If he mentioned it, I would have thought it was you and would come to ask
you about it immediately!”
When Brittany thought about it, she became even more anxious. Not to mention, it was probably fact
since those words came from Derrick‘s mouth. Still, Brittany did not know who the woman was. In other
words, Brittany would need to know who her opponent was if she were going to fight for Alexander.
How could she be patient?
“Don‘t worry. Why don‘t you ask Alex if you want to know? “Wanting to comfort Brittany, Arianna stood
up and raised her hand to pat her shoulder.
Brittany decisively refused, “No!” If this story were false, it would be okay to say she was joking.
However, if it were true, why would Alexander tell her? She would be the joke instead.
