Chapter 955 Upset

Alex exited the bank and spotted Maggie waiting at the entrance. Clad in a white dress with at touch of light makeup, she exuded an innocent and stunning aura. Despite her simple attire. she effortlessly captivated the attention of everyone around.

Even though she merely stood outside the bank without doing anything, the bystanders, no matter male or female, couldn't help but stop to steal glances at her.

They last met a few days ago, but Alex noticed that Maggie had visibly lost weight. It was evident that his actions had deeply upset her.

Alex was baffled. When I went to visit her today, she didn't come out even though I waited for a long time. Why did she suddenly show up at the bank?

Just as he was about to draw her into his embrace and disclose everything about Kate, Maggie swiftly moved out of his reach.

Failing to embrace Maggie, Alex became acutely aware of her evident aversion toward him. This realization left him feeling disheartened.

"Alex, you came to the bank to transfer money to Kate so she can overcome the crisis, right?" Kate chuckled, her laughter tinged with self-deprecation. "Oh, that's right. You have a child. together. It's only natural for you to help her when she's facing difficulties."

Maggie tried to stop her grandfather when he took action on the Sutton family. However, her grandfather told her that he was trying to test how much Alex cared for Kate.

If Alex chose not to aid the Sutton family, it would indicate that their bond wasn't as strong. as presumed, and he was not unforgivable.

Thus, Maggie followed Alex and saw him walking into the bank before getting ushered into the VIP room. It was clear that he had transferred money to the Sutton family to help them. weather the crisis. "You've got everything wrong!" Alex realized that her misinterpretation had worsened this time. He was uncertain whether he should clarify the purpose of his visit to the bank or delve into his relationship with Kate.

"Alex, I don't know whether to trust you or whatever I see with my own eyes," Maggie told him sadly as tears streamed down her cheeks.

She had believed that the man could rescue her from the confines of the Grant family, liberating her from the burden of an arranged marriage. Sadly, it was nothing more than wishful thinking on her part.

Alex was not her prince charming, and he was far more complex than he appeared. He did not love her and had only married her due to the influence of the Grant family.

It looks like Kate was right. I came to the bank to see how important she was to him. Now that I've seen it with my own eyes, I no longer have to stay.

Maggie cast one final icy glance at Alex, her eyes devoid of the previous tenderness. The warmth that once resided in her gaze had vanished. Without looking back, she turned and walked away.

I've been in Nebula City for far too long. It's time to leave this city that brings me nothing but sadness and return to where I should be.

Before Maggie could leave, Alex ran after her and grabbed her arm, pulling her into hist embrace.

"Listen to me, Maggie. You've got everything wrong. You've misunderstood everything. That night was an accident, and I had no knowledge that she would conceive my child. The reason I transferred the money to the Sutton family was solely for the sake of that child and not because I love Kate deeply. You're the only one I love," he implored.

Maggie shoved him away with all her might and gave him a tight slap.

She didn't hold back and delivered a resounding slap that echoed loudly, causing the air around them to feel tense and charged.

"Alex, I am not as foolish as you perceive me to be. Once you have resolved matters with Kate, you can come to me. Otherwise, I will never consent to see you," she responded icily.

With that, she stalked away and hopped into the car to leave without looking back.
