My Sister-In-Law Is My Mate!?! - Chapter 189

“You took so long to come, sister in law!” Alex looked at the girl with a cocky smile on his face that stunned hazel.

Though she wanted to have a harmonious environment. She was not expecting them to chat so nonchalantly and behave as if nothing was wrong. And what did he mean by sister in law? Was he expecting her as the wife of Richard?

She stared at Alex for a while to see if he was passing a sarcastic comment but he was not! Then she turned to Richard with silent eyes, yet it felt like she was asking for answers.

Faking obliviousness towards her action, he raised a brow and asked, “what happened? Do you not like the dishes? I can ask for a different set of breakfast if you want!”

“……..” could he only see breakfast? She shook her head and picked up her fork to finish the breakfast early and leave from there so that she could have some time to think about their future. She did not even know how the palace had reacted to the death of Amelia.

She even needed to go to the ministry or else everyone would think she was involved in the incident!

“Since Alex is working with you in the ministry, he will escort you there! While I will go to the palace and take care of Amelia.

The death was due to the beast anyway. No one would believe that the gore could be made by a human. You just need to control your emotions.

If anyone asks you where you were, you have gone on a romantic date with me. And we decided to spend the night in the inn later since we were far away from the palace!” Richard muttered in a professional voice and she nodded her head.

The one to finish the breakfast first was Richard as he wiped his hands from the napkin elegantly and then stood up.

“I will go and meet Alcastra too. You do not need to worry about anything!” he assured her and she raised her head but nodded,

Just when she had thought he would leave, he bent and kissed her cheeks!

Her eyes widened and her hands instinctively moved to the place where he had pecked. It was a small touch that only stayed for a second yet she felt her face getting burnt by it.

She immediately turned to see Alex with a guilty face as if she was at fault but his face did not have any reaction. He continued to enjoy his meal without even raising his head once.

Richard looked at her with an amused face before shaking his head and leaving.

She pursued her lips as she felt she had over reacted. Since she had chosen to stay married to Richard. It was only normal that he would kiss her let alone be a peck on the cheeks.

Why did she even care what Alex would think about it? With that thought, she pursued her lips and walked out of the dining room too.

Once she was gone out of the dining room, Alex finally raised his head which turned dark from anger. He let go of the fork from his hands that had been crumpled under his tight grip.

It broke into two once it fell on the plate. Wiping his mouth, he walked out of the room towards the entrance of the inn.

Standing in front of the carriage, his eyes lingered towards the window of the room that belonged to hazel. Thousands of thoughts were swirling in his mind as his eyes looked at the door crazily as if he was looking at her.

Soon, the light of the room died down and he finally took his gaze away and walked inside the carriage. After a few minutes the door of the carriage opened and the girl came in followed by Daisy.

“You took so long that I thought you were already gone in a different carriage, sister in law! I thought that you are going to ignore me from now on!” His soft voice did not seem to be angry but teasing when he looked at her with a mischievous smile that stunned her.

Why was he behaving like that? Though his words were making her guilty, it did not seem that he minded that she had chosen Richard? But then why did he not leave?

“I.,,” she struggled to find the correct words but before she could say anything, Alex chuckled and shook his head with amusement!

“Oh my, you know that I was only teasing you! Then why are you being so nervous!

You know that I was just joking, right? How can I blame my one and only sister in law?” he placed his heart on his chest as if he was taking an oath to never tease her.

“……” could he stop calling her sister in law in that way? She felt like she would go crazy if she continued to hear him but she could not say so as she knew he would only raise his eyebrows and ask what would he address her if not sister in law since she had decided to be his sister in law!

“I was only going to say that address me professionally when we reach the office since I do not want your identity to be disclosed sooner!” he raised a brow when she talked to him without even looking at him out of the window but nodded his head nonetheless!

Even he did not want his identity to be disclosed before he killed another culprit of hers!

One was gone! Two were left! He could not play the game of wits like her. All he knew was to kill your enemies and get freedom from there forever! He still needed to find a chance to get his next target alone,

“Of course, I will follow your every command since you are my boss and my loving sister in law!”

“……..”
