"Wasn't he the same friend you met with at the restaurant the other day?"
Alicia's irritation rose immediately.
"What's this now? Have you been following me around?"
Alexander scowled. "You wish," he said with a scoff.
Then, his tone became serious.
"Alicia, how many times do I have to say this? Even if we get a divorce, we're still siblings. I'm still your brother, so I have to look out for you."
"Brother?" she scoffed mockingly.
"Yes, your brother," Alexander said. He paused for a moment, swallowing the bile in his throat. Then, he suddenly asked, "Is he the person you like?"
Alicia stared at him in surprise. How did he even reach that conclusion?
However, in Alexander's eyes, her silence was almost as good as acknowledging his question. His heart unknowingly clenched.
All of a sudden, he felt his chest grow heavy. His tone softened as well.
"You don't know how guys like him are."
"And you do?" she shot back.
