and abrupt.
Getty found herself taken aback, her gaze fixated on the expressionless face of the man before her, her
daydreams abruptly shattered."| was suggesting... now that you're divorced, perhaps you might consider
marrying me?" "Who told you about the divorce?"
Alexander retorted, his question hanging in the air between them.Getty attempted to justify her assumptions.
"Quinn said it herself just now. Besides, if you guys weren't divorced, how could she possibly be out watching a
movie with another man?"
In Getty's mind, Quinn was not the type to brazenly date another man while still married. Surely, she must have
divorced before embarking on such a venture, right?

Getty behind. For a moment, Getty remained rooted to the spot, her initial elation swiftly replaced by a sinking

Just as she dared to hope, Alexander's cold dismissal felt like a bucket of ice water dousing her dreams. She
couldn't bear it.Alexander's gaze bore into her, heavy and unreadable.
After a few moments of silence, he finally spoke. "Enough of this. Get in the car."His response was as vague as
ever, leaving Getty feeling choked up. She climbed into the car, her heart heavy. As she stared out into the dark
night, resentment bubbled within her.
She was left wondering whether Alexander was truly divorced, or if he had divorced but had no intention of
marrying her.
The mere thought of the latter possibility was suffocating. What had she meant to him all these years?
