His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 1016

She was a little too moody! One instant, she would be conversing and laughing softly with him, and the next, she could turn around and snap his neck. He could not bear to remain with such a woman.

"When have I offended you?" Ralph asked as he blew on his fingers. "Okay, if Alexander hurt you, I mean, if it were him, I'd accept all the anger you've thrown at me. I can't choose who my nephew is. No matter what he’s done, he’s still my nephew at the end of the day. I'll just apologize to you on his behalf.

“However, Heather, we’re still to be married at the end of the day. We're a family. Alexander and I have never gotten along with each other. Could it be that he came to you for trouble because of me? Could it be that he threatened you because of me?"

He was trying to reason with himself about Heather's anger. If Alexander really injured her, Ralph wanted to know why Alexander hurt her and why he came over.

Could it be that…

A thought flashed across Ralph's mind, and he said, "Heather, could it be that Alexander is

trying to ask for your hand in marriage?"

"What?"

"He must be jealous that I'm marrying you. His place in this family may not be guaranteed if I joined forces with you. Maybe that's why he wants to take you away from me. This kid has robbed me of many things since he was young. He was my father's favorite and the next heir of the Russell family. He has everything, and yet, that's still not enough. Now, he's trying to take you away from me as well! I had enough!"

Heather was at a loss for words when she heard what he said.

"Did you refuse to fight him? Is that why he hurt you?" The more Ralph tried to reason with himself, the more it made sense. "He's gone too far with his bullying! Don't worry. I’ll seek justice for you!"

After an angry grumble, he stood up and was ready to leave.
