?Chapter 188:


    “Is it shyness that holds your tongue? Well then, let me pose it this way. If life hadn’t thrown that unexpected twist, and you and Dani were still married, do you reckon life would have been good with her?”


    Alexander took a deep breath, weighing her question with a serious gaze.


    “Yes, I believe it would have been. Dani was the one who initiated our divorce.”


    This was indeed the reality of their situation.


    He had never once entertained the notion of divorce after marrying Dani.


    While Danicked ambition, herpliance was a trait he found adequately pleasing.


    Had it not been for her stubbornness, their lives would not have unfolded as they did.


    With a chuckle, Peyton asked Alexander once more, “So, if I managed to reunite you two, would you be open to that idea?”


    Katrina, who had been biting her tongue until now, burst out, “Peyton, that’s out of line. Alexander is destined to marry Joyce. We’ve settled on that—he’s my son-inw.”


    Ignoring Katrina’s protests, Peyton grasped Alexander’s hand with a sincere expression.


    “Alexander, what do you say? If you’re willing, I’ll make it work.”


    Reflecting on his father’s recent conversation with Dani, Alexander hesitated momentarily before responding to Peyton.

    “I don’t think she’d want to marry me anymore.”


    At his admission, Peyton pped her thigh. Caiden’s face softened.


    “Don’t fret over it. I’ll take care of everything. Dani isn’t foolish; who else would she choose over a catch like you? Yes, she’s quick-tempered, but overlook that for now. Just sit tight and wait for my update—I’ll speak to her, and soon you’ll be on your way to making her your bride again. Trust me, I’ll sort this out wlessly.”


    Alexander had previously crossed paths with Peyton. She consistently preferred thepany of boys to girls. In her perspective, Dani was scarcely noteworthy.


    Alexander had frequently caught Peyton openly disparaging Dani as a pointless expense, voicing her criticism loudly and without hesitation.


    His trust in Peyton’s remarks was thin.


    Raising his eyes, he noticed Caiden offering a surprisingly affectionate smile.


    In a soft and reassuring voice, Caidenforted him.


    “Mom assured us she’d take care of everything. Just head home and stay tuned for updates. Remember, Joyce was the one who acted out of turn and shook up your marriage. If you’re still harboring feelings for Dani, it’s only right that you receive some form of fairness.”


    Acknowledging the advice, Alexander stood up decisively.


    “I’ll go and talk it over with my father.”


    Caught off guard, Katrina remained motionless nearby, her eyes wide as she watched the two men conclude their business just like that.


    Not a single word was said about Joyce.


    Burning with indignation, Katrina nearly sprinted after Alexander, but Caiden grabbed her arm, stopping her.


    She whirled around, her eyes cold as she faced Caiden.


    “What are you suggesting?”
