Chapter 903 Only Marry You

They were no longer related in any way, and to make matters worse, her family had been so merciless. As stated in the divorce contract, not only did Alex have to leave without a single penny, but he also had to fork out ten billion.

Therefore, Heather was simply too ashamed to ask for Alex's help now that crisis befell the Jenningses once again.

Alex turned and stared at Heather, his gaze so cold as if he was looking at a stranger he had never met before. He said calmly. "Ms. Jennings, there's no longer anything between us. I have no reason to help the Jenningses, so I wish you good luck!"

After Elsa called him and told him about that incident, he messaged Flynn and asked about what exactly happened to the Jenningses.

He thought that they were not only immensely greedy but also so unbelievably foolish that he almost felt sorry for them. Since they were adults, they should take responsibility for their idiotic actions.

In the past. Alex had helped them solve plenty of problems because they were family and he couldn't possibly sit back and do nothing.

However, now that they were no longer family, there wasn't a need for him to continue helping them. clean up their mess.

With that. Alex left the restaurant with Maggie without even looking back.

Maggie tightened her grip on Alex's hand, for she knew she would never get this man back if she were to let go. Hence, she swore to herself she would hold on to him tight and not go down the same path as Heather.

"When are you planning to marry me? Now that we're back in Nebula City, I can't wait anymore!" said Maggie anxiously.

Having experienced Alex's popularity firsthand, she could no longer wait to marry him. I have so many beautiful and outstanding women as my love rivals, so I absolutely can't afford to wait any longer! We have to get married as soon as possible!

A grin spread across Alex's lips as he flicked Maggie's nose and said lovingly. "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're just scared that I'll fall in love with other women, right?" Maggie nodded profusely. All men were lustful in her eyes, including her father whom she had always respected.

Maggie's parents were wedded through a marriage of convenience, and her mother was the heiress of a prominent family. Her father treated her mother well and took good care of her mother, but he still had several mistresses and a few illegitimate children. Maggie knew about her father's affairs all along chose to look the other way.

Noticing the worry in Maggie's eyes, Alex put on a solemn expression. "We might have to postpone our marriage."

Maggie froze in place when she heard that, feeling like she had just been struck by lightning. She could not figure out why Alex was suddenly going back on his word.

Is he mad at me because I'm a nuisance in his love life?

"You promised me that you'll marry me! Why are you suddenly going back on your word? Alex, the words of a man are worth their weight in gold. You can't just break your promise like that!" Maggie bit her lower lip, sounding so aggrieved she was on the verge of bursting into tears.

Seeing that she was about to cry. Alex quickly clarified, "There, there. Don't cry. I just said that we might have to postpone the wedding. I didn't say I won't marry you! How can I possibly not marry you? I just want to give you a grand wedding and make you the happiest person in the world."

Maggie punched Alex's chest with her tiny fists upon hearing his explanation.

"I'm going to beat you up! You deliberately omitted the rest of the sentence because you wanted me to misunderstand, right? I almost got scared to death!" complained Maggie grumpily.

Alex stroked her head and pulled her into his arms. "Don't worry. I won't break my promise."

Listening to Alex's rhythmic heartbeat, Maggie hugged him tightly as well. The fear within her dissipated gradually.

"I don't need a grand wedding, Alex. All I want is to marry you."
