Chapter 86
I was Kim!
Alita’s heart skipped a beat. Seeing Clement about to leave, she was puzzled. She reached out to stop him. “Clement, where are you going?”
Kim had now approached them. He had been so focused on observing Alita that he only now noticed the young man she was holding, Jaydon, and his fiancée. The combination of these four individuals baffled him
While he was surprised, Kim turned his attention to Clement, furrowing his brows. “What are you doing here?”
“Hi, Uncle.” Clement didn’t know how to explain.
“What? Uncle? Is he yo
level
your uncle?” Alita widened her eyes, instantly feeling
y feeling overwhelmed. This embarrassment was on a whole new
Jaydon stood there, shaking his shoulders with laughter.
“Mr. Andrews, didn’t you know? Your nephew is now the young boyfriend of your first love. The world is really small, isn’t it?” Jaydon kindly explained their relationship to Kim.
Now, Kim was completely bewildered. Having searched for Alita all over the world for over a year, he thought she had gone abroad to hide herself. Little did he know she was in the same city. What was even more unbelievable was that she was now dating Clement
“First love? Alita, you were my uncle’s first girlfriend? Oh my, what a clichéd plot.” Clement was shocked. He wanted to tell Alita that he didn’t want to act anymore.
“But, well, yes…” Alita stuttered. If she had known Clement was Kim’s nephew, she would never have invited him to play the role.
The man who came with Kim, seeing the situation, tactfully found a place to sit.
Kim forcefully grabbed Alita’s arm. “Come with me. I have something to ask you!”
“Kim, stop dragging me!” Alita struggled. Kim was acting insane in front of so many people.
Indeed! He was insane. After waiting so long for her divorce, for her to leave the Lewis family and Jaydon, she suddenly disappeared. Over the past year, he had truly gone mad.
“Hold on.” Jaydon frowned displeasedly. “She is my quest today, Mr. Andrews. It’s rude to just drag her away like this.”
“Guest?” Kim was puzzled. They were a former married couple. What kind of guests were they? Moreover, Jaydon’s new wife seemed quite happy. It was all very strange.
Alita explained, “I have opened a planning company, and now Mr. Lewis has invited me to plan his wedding. So, he is my client.”
Kim found it somewhat amusing. “He asked you to plan his wedding? And you dare to take the job?”
Jaydon wiped his mouth with a napkin, looking very content.

“I do business with an open mind. There’s no issue with money. You have another quest, so go ahead first it doesnt look good if you keep holding onto me. Alita said, embarrassed.
Kim didn’t let go. “Then talk to me first. I can’t bear to see you slip away again”
1 can talk to you, but can we do it another day? I can’t escape anywhere now that you’ve found me in this city,” Alita said, realizing that she couldn’t hide anymore once her location in the city was known.
He realized he had been too
Kim released her hand, and his tension eased. He glanced around, noticing the people staring at them. Her impulsive. When he saw Alita just now, he lost control.
“Sorry Continue with your meal. I’ll find you later. His gaze was filled with determination as he stared at Alita intensely.
“Okay!” Alita nodded, having no other choice.
Kim glanced at Clement. “You’re not allowed to run away either. Finish your meal and come home with me. Your mom has been searching for you all over the place.” With that, he walked toward the person who came with him.
Clement looked miserable, and Alita found it hard to enjoy her meal.
Jaydon chuckled. “Miss Thompson, you should let your boyfriend go home with his uncle. Otherwise, his mom will spank him.”
“Mr. Lewis, the steak is delicious. Please enjoy more.” Alita forced a smile, feeling embarrassed.
Jaydon wouldn’t miss such a good opportunity for mockery.
He put down his knife and fork, wholeheartedly making fun of her. “How coincidental is it that you dated Kim, and now you’re dating his nephew? If you marry his nephew, Kim will become your uncle–in–law. Or maybe if you rekindle with Kim, your little boyfriend should call you aunt–in–law. Haha, it’s really interesting.
Evelyn laughed along with Jaydon, though she didn’t find it particularly amusing.
Alita slammed her cutlery down. “Mr. Lewis, even if you’re my client, you can’t mock my private life. If you don’t stop, please find someone else to plan your wedding.”
“Don’t be so touchy. Otherwise, you’ll age e
even faster. By then, others might mistake Little Clement as your grandson Jaydon..a master at sorcasm, always excelled in such banter.
Alita stared at him, then suddenly smiled, pulling Clement’s hand. “Thanks for your concern, Mr. Lewis. Just take care of yourself. No matter how old I look, it won’t matter as long as we love each other. Love knows no age or boundaries.”
Alita reminded herself not to be angry and took a deep breath. Jaydon’s goal was to provoke her, so she had to smile.
“Be careful not to be seen by his uncle. He might flare up. If things go wrong, he might accuse you of abducting a teenager,” Jaydon kindly reminded her, his eyes fixed on her hand, emitting a chilly glare.
Alita was about to retract her hand when Clement firmly held onto it. “Alita, I’m already an adult. like you, and it’s my freedom. Mr. Lewis is just jealous. Don’t mind him. I love you.”
Kim couldn’t believe what he was seeing. What was this cheeky kid doing?

Seeing Jaydon’s face getting increasingly unpleasant, Alita smiled happily “Clement, you’re the most considerate. That’s why you the most I love you too.” She stood up decisively and kissed Clement on the face.
Jaydon took a sharp breath, and his face turned sour. She really dared to kiss this lad.
Kim also lost his composure, clenching his fists, intending to walk over.
Clement felt frustrated. He had said that he only sold his skills, not his body. Yet, Alita took advantage of him. However, her lips felt soft and comfortable.
“Looks like everyone is full.” Jaydon took his gold card from his wallet and shouted in a deep voice, “Bill”
The waiter came over and took the card. Jaydon stood up first and headed towards the exit. Evelyn quickly stood up and followed him, clinging to his arm affectionately.
Alite breathed a sigh of relief.
“Alita, the play is over. I have to go. Pay up.” Clement casually stretched out his hand towards her..
“Well done. Thank you today.” Alita took out a check from her bag. “For kissing you just now, I’ll give you an extra six thousand dollars” She uncapped her pen and was about to write it down.
Clement reached out her hand to block her. “Alita, I said I’ll sell my skills, not my body. If you’re going to give me money after kissing me, wouldn’t I be selling myself? Just pay me 24 thousand dollars.”
“Little brat, you have quite the personality. But
bad for kissing you without your permission,” Alita smiled.
“Consider it a favor you owe me, and I’ll claim it someday.” Clement said
“Well, since I’ve already kissed you, I’ll let you have the final say” Alita filled in the amount of 24 thousand dollars on the check and handed it to him. “Don’t run away from home. Go back with your uncle. Having a worried mother is the happiest thing in the world!”
Clement pocketed the money and laughed. “You really sound like an older woman.””
Alita couldn’t help but chuckle.
*Turns out this was all just a play!” Kim, who had been listening behind them, walked over and stood before them.
“Uncle, how would I dare to pursue your first girlfriend? I have something to do. I leave first.” Clement probed for an escape route, ready to make a run for it.
Kim had already noticed Clement’s intention, so he grabbed him. “Thinking of escaping again?”
“Uncle, just pretend you didn’t see me. I helped you with your ex–girlfriend today. You don’t know what a big sacrifice that was kissed and touched. Spare me this time, Clement walled.
1 got
You must come with me today” Kim was not joking. His expression was serious.
Clement cried out, “I’m losing my mind.”

Alita remembered that she still had to discuss the wedding with Jaydon and Evelyn. They were waiting outside. “Well, I’ll leave first.”
Kim used
his other h
hand to pull her back. “Tell me,
- e. where is
s your
company?” Alita could not hide herself anymore.
“Uncle, I know. Spare me, and I’ll tell you.” Clement took advantage of the situation to speak up.
“Brat, don’t use me. I’ll say it myself.” Alita glared at Clement, reluctantly telling him her company’s address.
Kim released her. “I will find you. You can’t escape this time!”
Alita didn’t have the time to say much to him. She turned around and left.
Outside the restaurant, Jaydon was getting impatient while waiting for Alita.
“Couldn’t bear to leave your boyfriend?” Jaydon sarcastically smiled when he saw her.
“Well, we’re in the honeymoon phase right now. This is quite normal. Besides, young men are full of vitality, like sunshine, capable of sweeping away the darkness in people’s hearts instantly,” Alita said cheerfully and unreservedly.
She was free now. She could love whoever she wanted!
Jaydon pursed his lips, an loy expression forming beneath his green eyes. “Miss Thompson, your taste is truly unique.”
“Thanks for the compliment!” Alita smiled happily, flipping her long hair coquettishly. “Please, lead the way to wherever you’d like for our discussion.”
Alita turned around and walked gracefully towards her c
car
Opening the car door, she breathed a sigh of relief.
A black sports car roared past her, and she immediately followed suit, weaving through the streets.
Finally, they parked at an outdoor café with a beautiful environment and quiet surroundings,
Alita felt relaxed. After taking a business call at the entrance, Alita
Jaydon led Evelyn inside, paying no attention to Alita behind them. A entered leisurely, sitting across from them.
“Would you like chocolate milk?” Jaydon remembered that she liked chocolate milk.
“No, I don’t drink chocolate milk. Black coffee will do.” Alita responded naturally after putting her bag away.
