Tempting the Billionaire and His Heir

Chapter 57

ALEXA’S POV

The next day, I remembered what happened between me and Nolan and I shook the thought off. I regretted I did that, as I didn’t know how to face him after that incident.

I took my bath and went straight to the sitting room to sit to clear my head off, but I met Anthony there, and he had already seen me, so I couldn’t go back.

He was reading a newspaper when he looked at me and smiled.

“Good morning.” I greeted him with a smile.

It looked like he was satisfied with the sex we had last night, as he kept smiling at me.

“Good morning.” He replied.

Then he continued reading his newspaper. A few minutes later, Nolan came in with a pineapple juice in his hand and greeted me and his father. But I replied with no emotions.

Nolan sat beside me and started talking about some things that I would have laughed to on a normal day, but I only nodded and gave him replies that looked like I wasn’t really interested in what he was saying.

“Uhm, I’m going out to get something. I’ll be back soon.” Nolan said.

“Alright.” Anthony said.

Nolan shouted my name like he wanted me to reply as well.

“Alexa!” He shouted.

“Yeah.” I replied without looking back.

“I said I’m going out to get something, and I’ll be back soon. Do you need anything?” He asked.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“No.” I replied without looking back.

Then I felt an aura like he was angry, then he went out and slammed the door.

NOLAN’S POV

Why’s Alexa acting that way? Was it because of the kiss we shared yesterday? Damn! She keeps ignoring me and giving me curt replies. I have to make her feel less uneasy about the situation because I can’t watch her continue to act this way to me.

ANTHONY’S POV

What’s wrong with both of them? They seem to be acting weird around each other, or did Nolan annoy Alexa? Well, maybe they’re not on bad terms. I must be the one over thinking.

ALEXA’S POV

Nolan came back, paced around for a while and when I was about to leave the sitting room to go to my room, he held me and dragged me outside to a park then made me sit.

“Alexa, you’ve been acting off today, is there anything wrong?” He asked.

“Wrong? There’s nothing wrong.” I said.

“But you’re acting off.” Nolan said.

“How am I acting off, Nolan? I really don’t understand what you mean.” I lied.

“Alright, maybe I’m the one overreacting.” He said.

“Probably.” I said.

“Have you had breakfast? Do you want us to eat out?” He asked.

“No” I replied.

I could see his baffled expression, he knew something was wrong, but I wasn’t admitting to it, then I stood up,

“I have to go.” I said as I left him looking hurt and deserted.

I got back home and noticed that Anthony was no longer in the sitting room, then I went to my room to rest my head for a while.

Few minutes later, I discovered I was hungry, so I went out of my room to find myself what to eat. I made toast and poured myself an apple juice, then I sat in the dining, munching on my food.

I thought about what happened between me and Nolan again, and I almost lost appetite.

About thirty minutes later, Nolan came in with a fruit basket and pizza. He joined me in the dining and dropped both the fruit basket and pizza before me.

“The fruit basket is for you, and I got us pizza. Let’s eat.” Nolan said, not minding that I was eating toast.

“Thanks. I think I’m full right now.” I replied.

“You could have waited a bit longer, so we could munch on this pizza together.” He said.

“You could share with your dad if it feels like a waste. I doubt he has had anything to eat this morning.” I said.

Nolan ignored the way I wasn’t fully giving him attention and kept talking to me and teasing me, he even tried to annoy me like he always did, but I disregarded all his attempt.

He became quiet and left the dining to his room. Anthony had been watching all along because when I was about to go into my room, he called me.

“Alexa, see me in my room.” He said.

“Alright.” I replied.

I wondered what he was going to say when he called me into his room, but I knew I had to be careful with my words so as not to end up in trouble.

I went upstairs to his room, and then he sat me down, I wondered if it was going to be a serious discussion.

“I noticed you and Nolan are not on good terms. What’s going on?” He asked.

“Oh, there’s nothing wrong at all.” I replied.

But I can see you both are not talking the way you used to. Did he offend you or pull a trick you don’t like?” Anthony asked.

My heart skipped a beat when he said that because it almost felt like he was asking the direct question to the answer of what went between me and Nolan.

“Of course not. That’s not enough to make problems between us.” I lied as I tried to make myself look less suspicious.

“You look a bit uneasy. Are you uncomfortable here?” Anthony asked.

Of course not! It’s the questions you’re asking me that’s making me feel uncomfortable.

“Of course not! Do I look uneasy?” I said, trying to look confident.

“Never mind. I want you to know you can ways talk to me about anything that happens. I’ll be sure to help to settle the matter.” Anthony said.

“I certainly will.” I said.

“How was last night with you?” He asked.

I knew he was talking about the sex.

“I loved it.” I replied.

“What are you guys talking about?” Nolan said as he came in.
