Chapter 255 Will Not Let Me Hug Finished

"That's more like it." Elaine held the strand of hair as she spoke. "You don't need to ask. I lost interest in him long ago. I'm a natural playgirl, falling in love with every person I meet. It's not that I don't believe there are good people in this world. I just replace it hard to believe in everlasting love. Love, to me, is like a flower, best preserved in its prime. I want to be in love till the day I die. How can I stop at a single person?"

Zendaya was dumbstruck. It was her first time witnessing someone truly embody such a concept into action. If all love is like how Clifford feels toward Elaine, then I care not for love. Elaine's version sounds better, but..... "I think Ms. Jeannet and her husband are really great together."

Elaine chuckled, lightly tapping Zendaya's nose. "I'm talking about normal people, which Alexander and that Aiden aren't. They're perverts, and they don't fit into the usual norms. The love of normal people is just like that. It's passionate and intense, but once it fades, only the ugliness remains. If there's a way to live in harmony, it could last longer."

Although Zendaya was slightly displeased when Elaine called the husband of her idol a pervert, she recognized it as a jest from a good friend and thus did not get angry. However, she was puzzled as to why Elaine suddenly brought up that.

Elaine had become somewhat frantic when she began to speak. Previously, without any plans, she didn't feel much. However, once she started taking action, she simply couldn't stop. "All right, enough said: Are you feeling better now? Has your allergy faded?" "Yeah, I'm fine now," replied Zendaya.

Elaine suddenly asked, "Are you allergic to lemons?"

Zendaya's heart inexplicably skipped a beat. "Uh, yes. It's quite a coincidence, isn't it?"

Yeah, it was quite a coincidence. If they were in a television drama, they'd probably be sisters. However, Zendaya heard from Clifford that Elaine's family was harmonious. Besides, Zendaya also had parents, and she looked so much like her mother. They even shared the same allergy to lemons, so such a fantasy coming true was basically impossible from Zendaya's perspective.

However, Zendaya optimistically thought that there might be some ancestral connection between her and Elaine, which was a form of destiny.

The look in Elaine's eyes grew even more complex. Without saying much, she added Zendaya's contact information and asked, "Do you still have to work?"

Zendaya nodded.

Elaine sighed resignedly. "If Clifford continues to bother you, seek help from Isabella. She's a good person and seems quite fond of you. Besides, Clifford wouldn't dare to cross Alexander."

Zendaya blinked, enjoying the feeling of being protected by Elaine. "Aren't you going?"

Elaine chuckled. "I'll catch up with you later. I have something to take care of now."

Zendaya looked at Elaine in confusion, not feeling comfortable enough to probe further.

Once they finished speaking, the two went downstairs. Elaine promptly hailed a taxi and left, dialing her contacts to arrange for a DNA test at the earliest opportunity.

Following that, she called someone else and inquired about Zendaya's background. Those who were aware of Zendaya's circumstances were associated with Clifford as it was Clifford who had found Zendaya. Consequently, someone on Clifford's side leaked the news to him.

That person even said Elaine still had feelings for Clifford because she actively inquired about her substitute, which could be seen as Elaine worrying about her substitute posing a threat.

Yet, for a fleeting moment, Clifford harbored doubt as he watched Zendaya return.

After all, Zendaya had such a simple background that Elaine didn't need to investigate so thoroughly. Based on what Clifford knew about Elaine, she wasn't the type to make such a big deal when dealing with such a "romantic rival." Elaine isn't investigating Zendaya because she's in love with Zendaya, is she? Clifford quickly dismissed that absurd thought from his mind.

However, when he saw how troubled and pensive Zendaya appeared after returning, he was confident Elaine had made a move.

Clifford felt somewhat restless because he was reluctant to let Zendaya go. Who should I choose?

In the end. Clifford couldn't help but rise and approach Zendaya.

When Zendaya spotted him, it was as though she saw a great enemy and immediately turned to leave. However, he still called for her.

When Zendaya turned around, she was already grimacing.

Clifford thought she was aggrieved and asked. "Did she trouble you?"

"No."

""How stubborn."

Zendaya cursed at him in her mind.

"If you really feel aggrieved, tell me, and I'll speak to her on your behalf. Where is she?" Clifford questioned, replaceing it odd that Elaine hadn't returned.

"Elaine had to leave due to some matters. Also, my relationship with Elaine is very good. Please stop making assumptions about us." If possible, Zendaya really wanted to grab his shoulders, shake him awake, and make him see reason. Clifford stopped listening as soon as he heard Elaine had left. As his expression changed, he turned and walked away.

Goodness. He couldn't let go of Zendaya, yet when he heard that Elaine had left, he regretted it and wanted to chase after her. Is he intent on tormenting himself over his foolish pursuit of love? I really want to tell him that while he thought he was making a choice, in reality, neither of them was an option at all! Isabella sighed.

Alexander also thought Clifford's indecisiveness was abnormal.

Meanwhile, Clifford departed to make a phone call.

However, Elaine, who was anxiously wait for the results, couldn't be bothered to answer his call.

Clifford felt that Elaine was genuinely upset and thought it was because she had heard about the time he spent with Zendaya,

If that was the case, Clifford felt he shouldn't have diverted his attention to Zendaya. After all, Elaine was the one he had loved for many years,

Clifford, in a somewhat dispirited state, sought out a place to contemplate his life.

It seems both Clifford and Elaine are waiting for a result. I wonder if this matter will end today. Isabella was bored out of her mind.

She was comfortably lounging on a swim ring when it suddenly capsized due to the waves created by someone diving into the pool for a competition.

However, Isabella didn't choke on the water because Alexander quickly embraced her and then swam to the edge of the pool.

Isabella felt a momentary dizziness but quickly regained her composure.

Just as Alexander was about to lower his head to ask how she was, he heard her voice.

The sensation of his embrace, his hidden strength, and the contours of his muscles as he hugs me is amazing! I was so focused on the gossip earlier that I forgot the main point / came here today. Isabella grinned. Alexander was speechless.

Although his muscles were somewhat tense, he gradually tightened his hug.

In a way, it was the first time the two of them were that close..

The thin layer of Isabella's swimsuit was all that separated their naked bodies. Their body temperatures, distinct from that of the pool, were transmitted to each other.

Unbeknownst to them, the two had already found themselves at the edge. Isabella was basking in the embrace of the handsome man. The peculiar sense of safety and comfort made her feel incredibly at ease, so much so that she didn't want to move. Naturally, Alexander couldn't bear to let go. The person in his arms had filled his once empty heart. wishing fervently that moment could freeze in time.

The two held each other in silence, seemingly oblivious to the world around them. In truth, no one dared to disturb them.

However, swiftly. Alexander's expression drastically changed. He hurriedly pushed Isabella away.

Isabella was about to doze off when she was abruptly awakened and couldn't help but grumble, "What's the matter? Can't I get a hug?" He says he likes me, yet he won't let me hug him.
