The Pinnacle of Life Chapter 628

Alex Rockefeller laughed dryly, “Of course, you are… Way more beautiful,” he said. Zendaya Stoermer sat down elegantly. “This time, I caused you and me to have a scandal. I’m truly sorry. Did your wife misunderstand anything after that?” Alex sighed a little. “We got divorced today.” Upon saying that, Alex wanted to slap himself again. ‘What the heck? This foul mouth of mine! Why did I say that?’ Alex thought. Zendaya’s eyes immediately lit up, and her heart raced. It was as though she saw a glimmer of hope… She didn’t want to miss this fated opportunity. They were destined to be together! How could she miss this chance? “Was it because of me?” She leaned over and asked softly. “Not entirely,” replied Alex. “I’ve heard a little bit about you guys. The Assex family doesn’t seem to treat you well. I heard that Lady Dorothy’s mother makes things difficult for you, and she thinks of you as a thorn in the flesh. In the past, she treated you like a nanny…” Zendaya said. Alex waved his hand. “Forget it Why bring this up? Let’s talk about you instead. Your father came looking for me yesterday. I didn’t expect the Stoermer family to come from a royal bloodline.” Zendaya shook her head. “It’s more like fallen royalty. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have gone around trying to marry off the family’s daughters to affluent families out there! Alex, there’s something I want to tell you.” She finally decided to stop beating around the bush. Suddenly, Zendaya took Alex by his hand. Alex was startled. “What… What did you want to tell me?” he asked. “I like you! ” Zendaya exclaimed. “Uhh…” “Aren’t you divorced now? In that case, would you like to be with me? Why don’t we elope somewhere? We can go abroad to a place where nobody else is. We’ll buy an island on the Pacific Ocean, live a reclusive life, and I’ll bear your children…” Zendaya went on. Alex was stunned. This was way too direct. The problem was that, in the face of such an offer from Zendaya, he was tempted to say yes. Truthfully, if it were any other man, 99% of them would have agreed. But Alex finally shook his head gently. “No, I… I can’t say yes.” “Why?” Zendaya asked in bewilderment. “It… It’s very complicated. I still have many things to do. For example, I must exact revenge. Hence, I’m sorry…” Alex explained. Zendaya looked at him and chuckled bitterly. “It’s simply my lack of fortune! After returning to my family this time, it might perhaps be a permanent farewell… Before I go, can you buy me a drink? Think of it as sending me off,” she said. Alex nodded. “Of course, that won’t be a problem.” Zendaya inhaled sharply and pointed at Willow Lake. “Let’s go there. I know about a cruise ship we could charter.” Soon, the two walked down to the lake. Indeed, docked by the shore was a two story cruise ship. “Boss, I want to charter your boat for tonight. Make me an offer!” Alex said directly. The middle-aged man glanced at Zendaya. Although she had put on a mask and a hat, she still seemed very eye-catching. The man then looked at Alex with a funny expression. “Not a problem. A single night will cost you 50,000 dollars. You can do anything you want! There’s even a room upstairs, complete with everything you need. It’s no different from a hotel. Also, just so you know, one of its rooms even has a special, romantic ambiance. Hehe…” Alex felt slightly awkward. “Is there food?” he asked. “Yes, yes. We have cuisines including Chinese, Western, Japanese, Korean kimchi rice, and even Indian curry rice. We have everything you want!” “I’ll pay by card!” Beep. Alex finished paying with his card and had just gotten on board when a group of people unexpectedly rushed onto the cruise ship. The leader looked like a young man with wealthy parents. “Boss, I want this boat. Get rid of everyone else,” he exclaimed. Alex and Zendaya were just about to enter when they heard this. They turned around with stunned looks on their faces. Among the group of people was an old nemesis. She was none other than Alex’s ex-girlfriend, Chloe Marionette. After counting the days down, it seemed like they hadn’t met for quite some time. Alex didn’t expect to meet her here. Moreover, by the looks of it, she had changed boyfriends yet again. Wearing a pair of sexy, revealing shorts, Chloe had her arms around a young man’s arm while she flirted with him. When their eyes met, Chloe immediately started shouting. “Hey, Alex Rockefeller, it’s you, you loser! Shouldn’t you be on your knees, washing your wife’s feet? I can’t believe you’re actually out here on a date with another woman. Do you not want to be looked after by your wife anymore?”
