Chapter 90 - Weird Neighbor (3)

"Why? Are you married?" Cefei casually asked even though he knew the answer. He leaned on the table, bringing his face closer to hers.

Married? April sighed. By the looks of things, this one is a pesky person. If she said no, then she'll get bombarded by this man. If she lies, she will feel horrible.

Instead of replying, she looks at her menu and finds something appetizing to eat. Unfortunately, Cefei is waiting for her answer. So his eyes were constantly following her every move.

"Can you quit it? I could call the management and get you out of here!" She felt that this man was not simple. But why does it have to be her?

"Go ahead, but I'm not leaving until you answer my question." Cefei smiled showcasing his perfectly white teeth.

April sighed again. See? What a pesky man, she thought. "No, I'm not married. But that doesn't mean that I'm not together with my son's father either." There, she thought of a perfect answer. This should make him feel uneasy and hopefully will leave her be.

Cefei chuckled. A wise answer, he thought. "Why? He isn't ready to get settle down yet? Or did he not want to marry you?" Let's see how you get out of this one.

April gasped. The nerve of this man? "That's personal! I am not obligated to answer this!" She closes the menu and slammed it on the table. Luckily, it wasn't too loud.

"Well, that's only if you want me to keep pestering you. So, which is it?" Cefei tapped the table with his fingers.

April bit her lips. The longer she interacted with him, the longer she felt that this man isn't easy to handle. Even if she answered truthfully, would he leave?

"Fine. Suit yourself. He is currently married and I'm his Mistress but his divorce is already ongoing. Is that a suitable answer?" She sarcastically asked.

"A Mistress? Hmm... So, there are still douchebags in this world? Are you happy? Knowing that you're hurting his wife and his marriage?" He sounded mean, yet he only wanted to know. Why would a woman like her find joy in tearing someone else's relationship?

Hearing those words, April's heart skipped a beat. No one had ever asked her those before. She did hear from Colm that no matter what, she was a Mistress. But she only thought of herself and her son. She had never thought of Francesca. Although Francesca was harming her right now, can she blame her? If April hadn't entered a relationship with Alex, she doubt that Francesca would do anything to her.

She felt confused and guilty. Indeed, she wasn't happy. Being with Alex felt like some unstable weather. Sunny in the morning and Raining at night.

At first, she thought that it was fine. It was the first time that she wanted to pursue something that she wanted. As long as Alex was looking at her, that was enough. Now, hearing a few questions from this man, everything changes. Even she wasn't swayed by Colm's advice, how can this man sway her emotions? Easy as asking a few questions?

"No, I'm not. I'm not that of a rude person." April's head was down. Contemplating on his questions.

Cefei itch his head. What a troublesome ordeal. Why is Alex entering this sort of a messy situation, when he can't even handle his wife? Of course, he knew what Francesca is like, after all, he was friends with Alex. He ought to know his friends well, even their families. It was his father's way to protect him, their businesses and their organization.

"If you are not happy, then why settle? You're only trying to smash a rock into your head." Cefei sighed. Although he wasn't close to this woman, he felt that he had a part in it. Well, a big part. He was the reason why this woman had a son with Alex in the first place. Seeing her smiling yet lonely, he could tell that she was hiding her pain inside her heart.
