Tempting the Billionaire and His Heir

Chapter 36 (1025)

ALEXA’S POV

“Sir, why did you ask me out on a date?” I asked as we both sat at the back of his car’s trunk. The door had been liften up so in case it rained it would prevent us from getting wet.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

“Why wouldn’t I?” He glanced back at me before giving me another smile.

Did he already forget?

“I’m not saying I’m complaining, but isn’t that a little sudden?” My words came out more bluntly than I meant it too.

“You should never rush these things, Alexa. Don’t ever doubt yourself or how wonderful the people around you are. Trust me when I say that, I’ve met my fair share of people who never understand love or kindness.”

“How old did you grow up?” I inquired further.

“Nineteen years old, Alexa,”

This man, Mr. Brown, had grown up a very mature person despite his age. He had a hard life, yet he seemed to have found peace.

Maybe having Nolan early in his life blessing in disguise.

Maybe that was the reason for his happiness and acceptance.

I shook off all thoughts and focused on my surroundings.

“Have you lived here for long?” I questioned.

“Since I was nine years old, but I moved around a lot growing up,”

“Were there many friends around you?”

“My late wife and I were inseparable, so yeah, we had quite a few friends. One of which is a member of the board that controls the company.” I cringed inwardly remembering how jealous Kathy acted upon seeing me around Nolan. That feeling soon disappeared as I remembered the promise I made to myself that I wouldn’t fall in love with anyone. That I’d be with Cody and it it didnt work out, then there isn’t anyone for me anymore.

It’s true that Cody doesn’t seem like the type of guy to cheat on me, especially with him being older. He doesn’t act like he wants to get away with something either… not unless I push for him to.

“I’m sorry for asking, but do you go out on date with your housekeeping staff as well?” The question made him look at me like I had lost my mind.

“No, I’ve only ever done this to you.” The thought made me blush as he only took the courage to ask me, but why?

The thought made me blush as he only took the courage to ask me, but why?

I wondered to myself. I couldn’t help but wonder if this was part of a game. Why would he invite me out of nowhere on a date when he had a secretary to do such tasks for him? Is he trying to get something from me?

“So you don’t need a girl to do your bidding?” I teased hoping to see some sort of reaction from him.

To my surprise his eyes flashed dangerously. There was no trace of humor in his face as his eyes glittered fiercely.

His gaze made my breath catch in my throat as my chest tightened. A tingling sensation spread across my skin as his intense gaze bore holes into mine.

“I’ve told you, you’re not just any girl, Alexa.” His voice was low, but husky. I noticed that his jaw clenched as he takes his gaze off mine.

“Ive asked so many things to myself of what had kept me curious about you, but I can’t answer all of them without being with you.” His words felt deep into my core, his tone run softly.

My heart felt like it skipped a beat as his eyes met mine once again, but instead of their usual softness, there was a burning passion behind those irises.

“And that’s why I wanted to ask you out,”he whispered as he grabbed my hand in his. Our hands gently intertwined together, intertwining as if they had been joined this entire time.

He raised our hands up to his mouth as he kissed it tenderly, his warm, slightly chapped lips caressing my flesh and sending an electrifying current through my entire body.

“Won’t you give me a chance to prove myself? Won’t you just let me try to win you over?” He begged softly while caressing my knuckles gently.

“Let me find those answers that I need from you, I want to understand you…” He muttered before taking hold of my left hand, which was wrapped tightly with his right hand. He looked straight into my eyes as he placed his left hand on top of mine. He brought my hand to his chest, his heartbeat was beating loudly against my palms. It’s almost like I could hear his heart pounding at the moment; it’s pace matched mine. His other hand rested on my waist. The sudden heat and tension in the air caused my breathing to become heavy as I struggled to keep my cool composure.

After a minute of silence, the sound of an engine echoed from down the road as Mr. Brown pulled his car towards the exit. I looked out the window to watch the rain pour down.

As I watched the water droplets hitting the windshield, I began thinking.

“Alexa?” I blinked multiple times as I sat beside him, the rain hasn’t poured and his hand wasnt in mine.

I look over to him to see no trace of lust over me and we were driving. I sighed out in relief as I thought I had comitted infidelity .

“You alright, Alexa? You fell asleep throughout the car ride, we’re almost there” Soon enough, I saw what he was pertaining to. The hill on top where he would make his confession.

“Are you sure you want to go there?” I asked. I wasn’t ready to face any of those raw emotion. I would rather stick to having comfort with a toxic man, than to ruin my life being hunted down by him.

“Yeah, why? Is there something wrong?” Mr. Brown asks.

I had to think quickly if I need to find a way to turn the car around… But I knew it would embarrass me infront of him.

“I’m not feeling so well, Mr. Brown, could we turn the car around?”
