Chapter 169

Amara happened to witness the whole scene.

She had just come by on a whim, but she didn't expect to run into Alex and Christina again.

And this time, she clearly heard Alex's confession.

"I'm serious. I hope you'll consider it."

Alex was charmed by Christina's adorable silence.

After all, Christina's current dazed look was quite different.

"Thanks for liking me, but I'm not looking to start a relationship right now..."

Christina's words were abruptly cut off by Amara, who suddenly appeared.

"So you're the one, huh?"

"You're the one trying to steal Alex, right?"

Alex was startled by Amara's sudden appearance.

"What are you doing here?"

Alex looked at Amara with some displeasure.

But Amara, in a fit of rage, pushed Alex behind her and glared angrily at Christina.

"You won't be with me because of her?"

"She doesn't even look that great, and she has no redeeming qualities. Why do you like her and not me?"

Christina was stunned by Amara's aggressive demeanor.

Before she could react, Amara grabbed a cup of coffee from the table and threw it at Christina.

Christina instinctively closed her eyes as coffee splattered everywhere.

"If you're going to play dumb, I'll make you wake up."

Amara's voice was excessively sharp.

Her actions quickly drew the attention of others.

Christina was genuinely shocked.

She hadn't expected Amara to actually get physical.

"Is that so? Thanks for the wake-up call."

Christina grabbed another cup of coffee from the table.

Though she was pregnant and couldn't drink coffee, Alex had already ordered it when they arrived.

Every time they left, there was always a lot of coffee left.

She had planned to tell Alex that next time they came to the café, there was no need to order coffee, as it was wasteful.

But now, it seemed it wasn't entirely wasted.

Christina threw the coffee at Amara's face with more force than Amara had used.

"If you don't understand, go check the surveillance footage."

"Alex and I are just friends. As for his confession, I was stunned. Isn't it normal? Who can handle someone suddenly confessing to them while discussing work?"

If it were any other matter, Christina might have explained a bit.

But now, she wouldn't waste time on someone irrelevant.

Christina turned to Alex.

"Because you're Mia's brother, and Mia and I are good friends, and you have a good personality."

"You always asked me out for work, so I agreed."

"What I didn't finish saying earlier is that I'm not interested in you. If it's just as friends, fine, but anything else is out of the question. And I really dislike this kind of behavior."

Christina, covered in coffee, looked coldly at Alex.

Alex's expression was at its worst.

He hadn't expected his carefully planned confession to be ruined.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Why are you here again? I've rejected you clearly before. Why do you keep doing this and accusing others of seduction?"

Alex was genuinely angry at Amara. If it were any other situation, he might have had an explanation.

But today, he had no way out, especially with Christina's beautiful face showing anger.

He felt nothing but guilt.

Amara, being scolded by both of them, was about to explode with anger.

"You're lying. You accepted the food I gave you before, which means you accepted my confession. And Mia said we were a good match."

Hearing this, Alex couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Mia thinks everyone is nice. She said we were a good match because she found you annoying."

"I didn't want to be too harsh, but I didn't expect you to be so spoiled."

Alex had never spoken so harshly before.

Even when he was really annoyed, he would just say not to come again, that he didn't like it.

But the more he said that, the more determined Amara became.

But today, Amara seemed to have lost her mind.

Christina, watching the two of them go crazy, had no interest in dealing with their drama.

After saying what she needed to, she felt calm again.

After all, when she was discharged from the hospital, the doctor had warned her to avoid emotional fluctuations to ensure the baby's healthy development.

So, no matter what happened, Christina tried to stay calm.

But she was genuinely angry just now.

After all, she had suffered such injustice and undeserved accusations because of someone irrelevant.

"It's all because of you. Alex treats me like this because of you. We were fine before, but everything changed when you came along."

Christina was about to leave.

But Amara, like a madwoman, charged at Christina, ready to get physical.

Christina prepared to defend herself.

No matter what, she wouldn't let Amara succeed.

"Stop it."

Alex was startled by Amara's actions and quickly pulled her back.

"How much more embarrassing do you want to be? I didn't want to be too harsh because we knew each other, but Christina is someone I respect. Don't make this harder for me."

Alex was truly exasperated.

He had always believed that liking someone meant giving them the best and striving to improve himself.

As long as he became better, he would be worthy of standing by her side.

He had thought that even if Christina didn't accept his confession today, he would keep trying.

At least Christina would know his determination.

But now, everything was ruined by Amara.

"What are you talking about? We had a chance."

Christina watched the two of them argue and had no interest in talking to them anymore.

"If you have work-related matters, go to the office and find someone else. I don't have time right now."

Christina, covered in coffee stains, grabbed her bag and walked past Alex, coldly saying this.

Then she walked away.

Watching Christina leave, Alex was devastated.

"Are you happy now?"

"What do you want? How many times have I rejected you? Do you have to make everyone as miserable as you?"

After Christina left, she didn't go to the office. She went home, took a shower, changed her clothes, and only then went back to work.

Because of this incident, Christina realized there was no need to compromise. She had only met with Alex because of Mia.

She had thought he was genuinely seeking advice, but it had completely gone off track.
