Chapter 118 Stating The Truth To Nicole And Lucielle
This was just a passing thought as he parked his car. Alex then rushed to see the two ladies and saw them sitting around the old wooden table, sipping tea calmly.
The two had reached this place quite early it seems.
Looking at Alex arrive, Lucielle asked with a smile, "What\'s with the rush, lover boy?"
Nicole shot her a look, her calmness gone, and said, "Why do you call him that? He\'s not your lover and he\'s so much younger than you. Plus, you\'re married and have a daughter, have some shame."
Lucielle giggled softly at this. "You seem like a jealous little kitten. Do you want some attention, little girl?"
A vein popped on Nicole\'s forehead. She really disliked this woman here as she was nothing but a sly old fox in a sheep\'s skin.
"Now, now, ladies. Let\'s calm down and talk properly, shall we?" Alex said as he got close to the two and had a seat right beside Lucielle.
Nicole was sitting on the opposite side.
As Alex sat down, Lucielle put her teacup down and said, "You better have important reasons because I just lost around a hundred million dollars for postponing my schedule for today."
Alex raised his eyebrows in surprise at this. She lost this much? Surely she must be joking…
Nicole at this point chimed in and said, "That\'s right, it better be something good. The country probably got a successful terrorist attack somewhere due to my absence. Some countrymen might\'ve died in that too."
"Yeah, what!?" Alex was really surprised now.
"What?" Nicole let out a sarcastic smile. "You thought you could call us anytime and think there won\'t be consequences? Who do you think we are? In the absence of the Director, the feds are going to have a hard time making decisions. As for that bitch, she must not be joking either. Do you know how filthy rich and busy she is?"
Alex fell silent upon hearing that.
Lucielle giggled softly and put her hand on Alex\'s. "Ignore that lass in heat. You tell me what made you call us so urgently."
Nicole didn\'t bicker with Lucielle and simply listened to what Alex had to say.
Alex sighed. "Right, I am sorry if there are damages caused due to me. I\'ll find a way to compensate—"
"Don\'t fret, as I said," Lucielle interrupted. "It\'s okay, we understand, so just get on with the main topic."
Nicole nodded. "Just speak already."
Alex nodded and then shoved the table aside, putting away the barrier between Nicole and him.
He brought her close and once Nicole and Lucielle were in front of him, Alex held their hands, surprising them, and said, "What I am about to tell you, it\'s going to hurt a lot. If you both can get through this, I promise you guys, there will never come a time, be it in sickness or sadness, where I\'ll leave your hand and run away."
Alex\'s words shocked the two ladies and for the first time, they listened intently with complete seriousness as to what he was trying to say.
Alex took a deep breath and thought, \'I hope they don\'t kill me for saying this…\'
Alex began explaining to the two ladies of him having wives, which they already knew, and then softly guided them to the topic of him having multiple wives.
Alex said the truth of how he was supposed to find his wives and whatnot, but then what ended up happening was them finding him instead and coming together in one go.
So now, Alex had seventeen wives at his home and there was still a person missing. Of course, that person wasn\'t Nicole or Lucielle, that Alex was sure of and told them, making them have dejected faces.
The two ladies went through all five stages of grief in the span of minutes, their emotions suffering through a roller coaster ride.
They wanted to seriously beat up Alex and strangle him for being such a fuckboy, but they understood where he was coming from and that he wasn\'t actually a fuckboy.
These two were mature ladies and not unreasonable young teenagers.
They were sad about the things Alex had mentioned and showed it on their faces with a smile.
The sad smile pained Alex, but he could do nothing about it.
Eventually, the two ladies understood something.
They weren\'t even together with Alex and there was no reason he should give an explanation to them and talk things out like this.
They also realized at this point that Alex was saying all of these things because he wanted to be with them, and just like they had guessed, by the end, Alex did convey that he wanted to be with the two.
The two ladies didn\'t know what to feel about this and suffered through a major crisis.
They fell silent as they began contemplating things.
They got up from their seats and walked around the old warehouse. They also conversed together at a corner where Alex couldn\'t hear them.
These two ladies who were at each other\'s throats were surprisingly getting along at this point.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity to Alex, the two ladies got back to where Alex was.
Nicole grabbed Alex\'s collar and making him get up, said with knitted brows, "I seriously do not like you. You need to be beaten up for wasting so much of our time."
Lucielle nodded and then, as Nicole had mentioned, they actually beat Alex up.
Alex didn\'t put up any resistance and got beaten up. He could understand where these two were getting at and knew they needed to vent somehow.
Alex became the two\'s punching bag for the next ten minutes with Lucielle and Nicole both taking turns to beat him up.
They didn\'t touch his face because they didn\'t want to ruin his handsomeness. They merely hit his back, abdomen, thighs, and other less vital areas.
The two were crying slightly while beating him up, though not wailing or sobbing. Just tears leaking down their faces.
Nicole was thinking that finally after so long, she found a decent man for herself, but it turned out to be a guy with harem. She knew the man with the biggest harem in this world, Chen Yifan, and had information on how he treated his women.
Lucielle too knew of this and both the two were sad knowing they would be together with a man like that.
However, after a while, clarity returned to them and they realized Alex wasn\'t a scum like Chen Yifan.
Alex was clean and he also was putting effort into things. Sure, he may not be perfect in their opinion, but at least he did the right thing by always being honest with them and giving things to them straight instead of beating around the bush.
The last thing these two ladies wanted was to be stuck with a liar and a cheater, but thankfully, none of that was the case.
The found the things Alex did quite likeable and with the way he came to the two to explain and try to give these ladies a chance at backing off, it was cute.
They knew he didn\'t want to hurt them and they also knew he could understand their feelings.
Alex\'s reason to come here was to give the two a final chance to either reject him or fully let go of all morals and embrace him.
As for what the two had decided on…
Nicole picked Alex up by his collar after giving him one last beating and said, "You\'re so damn stupid. I still feel so salty about the rejection that day. Why couldn\'t you just fuck me and get the fuck away from my life?"
"I—"
Alex didn\'t get a chance to respond as Nicole sealed his lips. It was only for a few seconds and she then let him go.
"I hate you," Nicole said with her eyes still moist. "And I\'ll never forgive you for the rejection."
Alex felt sad hearing that.
It was then, Nicole kissed him again.
She then broke the kiss and continued, "To let me keep hating you and never forgive you, you have to be by my side. This hatred won\'t be gone for an eternity, so you better prepare your ass, lest I whoop it again."
"Huh?" Alex was confused.
His confusion wasn\'t answered as Lucielle pulled his collar and brought him up close to her.
"I hate you too, Alex. You made me want to cheat on my husband. I\'ll never forgive you for that." Lucielle said.
Alex felt sad again for hearing that.
Lucielle then held his collar tightly and spoke with utmost seriousness, "You better take responsibility for everything otherwise I\'ll definitely kill you."
Lucielle kissed Alex as well after saying some harsh words.
The whole interaction was really confusing and Alex seriously had no idea what these two ladies meant.
Was this a yes? Was this a no? What even was going on?
As Lucielle broke the kiss and let Alex go, Nicole walked up to them and hugged him from behind while Lucielle did so from the front.
"I also hate you for loving that bitch."
"Me too. You shouldn\'t date some desperate-for-sex lass like that."
"…" Alex didn\'t know what to say anymore and simply stayed like that.
The two then let him go and took their seats.
Looking at him standing there with a dumbfounded look, Nicole said, "Take your seat, stupid. There\'s a lot more things we want to talk about. One of them being, why are you suddenly going to India?"
