Alex’s eyes were shining with excitement.
There were two reasons why he wanted the marriage to make it up to Haley before. Firstly, he feared that she would have an unhappy marriage because she was unable to have kids. Secondly, they shared many interests and topics, and he didn’t mind her.
Now that Haley herself said she was child–free and wouldn’t have children no matter who she married, all his worries were
gone.
Alex said, “Haley, I impulsively pursued and proposed to you back then because you saved my life.”
After a brief pause, Alex’s voice turned firm. “As you mentioned, I’m the only heir of the Warren family, and it’s my duty to continue the family line. I must have children.”
Haley stood there in shock like she had been hit by lightning.
Al said, “I’ll compensate you, then we’ll break up. You can go find your true happiness.”
Haley stood there mouth agape, and her mind was in complete chaos.
. That day at the Warren Manor, she had overheard Alex arguing with Nancy where he insisted he was going to be child–free
for life.
Therefore, when Alex tested her just now, she said she didn’t like kids and wouldn’t have them with anyone.
She h
had no idea that Alex’s true intention was to break up with her.
“I was just joking with you.” Haley suddenly looked at Alex with innocent eyes. “Why wouldn’t I like kids?”
Haley continued, “I believe each women should be a mother. That’s the point of being a woman.”
“Haley?” Alex locked his eyes on Haley’s face, not missing any change in her expression.
Haley suppressed her inner unease and said with a happy look, wish I could have a son and a daughter in this lifetime.”
No matter what Haley said next, Alex couldn’t hear her clearly anymore.
He felt like climbing from hell to heaven and then falling back into hell.
Haley easily caught the disappointment in Alex’s eyes and bit he lower lip hard.
She thought, ‘He is so eager to test the waters and break up with me. That’s because he can’t wait to be with that bitch Ellie,
isn’t it?”
Ellie fo
Alex went to great lengths to stop being adopted by the Warren family, even putting himself against her,
He would rather have Ellie hate him than let her become his sister in name. That was because he feared there would be no chance left with Ellie.
“Alex, how long will you serve in the army?” Haley asked, trying to change the topic hesitantly.
Alex looked really tense and clearly irritated. “Not sure.”

Haley said, “Since your return date is uncertain, why don’t we get the marriage certificate before you leave? I’m willing to wait for you, but at least you give me a status.”
“Get in. I’ll drive you home.” Alex dodged the question and opened the front passenger door.
The next morning, a gloomy atmosphere hung over the Warren Manor’s living room.
Last night. Alex made quite a scene and the power went out. Aaren stayed at the manor, worrying about Ellie.
Evan didn’t find any so–called “evidence” at Ellie’s apartment last night.
The painting Alex brought out was ultimately completed by Ellie as Aaron.
Under Alex’s relentless pressure, Ellie swore but never admitted she had liked him.
Nevertheless, that didn’t mean people wouldn’t overthink.
Al was arrogant and bold in his actions, but one thing was certain: he never lied.
He was confident, proud, and looked down on everything, so he couldn’t care less.
* But everyone, without prior agreement, stopped mentioning the matter.
Ever since Carlos saw Alex’s military review documents, he locked himself in Orion’s room, refusing to talk or come out. Todd sat seriously on the couch with exhaustion clear in his furrowed brows.
Nancy clutched Alex’s conscription documents, her eyes swollen from crying. “It’s all my fault. I spoiled him too much.”
At that moment, Evan rushed in. “It’s confirmed, Mr. Alex Warren’s military review has passed. The documents are authentic.”
