Chapter 0117 I dont suffer fools lightly , he continued , his bright , serious gaze locked on mine .
I felt strangely small under his stare , but I couldnt look away.
And I dont spend time with people I dont want to spend time with .
This arrangement we have- he paused , as if searching for the right words , -would not be enough to make me go out of my way for you .
My breath hitched .
His words , so matter of fact , caught me off guard .
The truth was , I hadnt been entirely sure why Alexander had continued to involve himself in my increasingly chaotic life .
But as he spoke , the certainty in his voice made me question everything I had assumed .
Dont ever make the mistake of thinking youre manipulating me , he said firmly , and for a moment , I almost flinched .
I dont act out of pity or concern .
I do what I want to do .
And right now , what I want is to make sure youre all right .

Do you understand ? I nodded slowly , though I wasnt sure I truly did understand .
His actions and words seemed contradictory to me .
Why would he care so much ? What was driving him to stay by my side , to protect me ? I knew there was more to Alexander than I had seen so far , but despite all the time we had spent together , I realized how little I actually knew about him .
I had no real ground to stand on if I wanted to challenge what he was saying .
So instead , I accepted his words for nów , even if they left me feeling more confused than before 1 So youll be staying the night , then ? Alexander raised an eyebrow , his question hanging in the air .
If you insist , I replied , feeling uncertain but resigned .
Alexander smiled , a look of satisfaction crossing his face .
I do .
Dont worry , the doctor tells me that youre going to be just fine .
You simply need to reach climax in order to dissipate the fever .
Youll recover after that .
That cant be right , I said softly , my voice betraying how embarrassed I was by his words .
He smiled again , but this time , there was an amused glint in his eyes .
Whats so funny ? I asked , confused by the look on his face .
You , he replied , leaning in a little closer .
My pretty puzzle .
Youre so strong and confident most of the time , but when the topic turns to sex , you become shy .
Why is that ? I shrugged , feeling self conscious .
Im not shy , I protested half heartedly .
I just dont think its a topic we should engage in … there must be something else I can do .
Im afraid thats the only option .
Youll only feel more sick until you take care of your desires .
Besides , you dont need to worry about embarrassing yourself in front of me , so theres no reason to avoid the topic .
Heat crept up my neck and into my cheeks , and I couldnt tell if he was being sincere or teasing me .
His eyes were too intense , too focused .
Well , thats good , I muttered , looking away , Id hate to be a nuisance .
If you ever become a nuisance , Ill be sure to tell you , he teased , his voice playful but his eyes locked on mine with a seriousness that made my heart race .
There was something in the way he was looking at me that made my blush deepen .
His gaze held an intensity that left me feeling exposed and vulnerable .
Then , in a swift movement , Alexander leaned forward .
This time , I recognized what was happening it wasnt the first time .
And instead of waiting hesitantly to see if hed change his mind , I moved to meet him halfway .
