Chapter 1536 Detached
Rosalie frowned slightly.
In the past, when the two of them got along, they would talk about work or medical matters.
Now that Rosalie noticed Xander’s strange behavior, she was even more unwilling to talk to him about anything
else.
"Then let’s briefly confirm the terms first and draw up the contract another day."
Out of politeness, she still had a cordial smile on her face.
Xander had too much to drink. When he heard this, he slammed the table in dissatisfaction. "Is this the only thing
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwe can talk about?"
Rosalie stopped and met his gaze. She became more cautious. "We are partners, shouldn’t we talk about work?"
Xander stared at her, his eyes ablaze. Miss Jacobs, can we only be work partners in your heart?"
He was on a rant, but from his eyes, Rosalie could guess what he was going to say next. This was ridiculous.
All along, she always treated Xander with professionalism. 'How could he have such thoughts about me...'
As she second-guessed herself, Xander ranted bitterly.
"I admired you when I first saw you in the free clinic, whether it was your outstanding medical skills or your love for
children and the elderly."
Xander’s eyes were full of affection. "Every time I see you, I can’t help but think, how wonderful if I could have such
a great person by my side? If only I could take care of you."
Rosalie was shocked.
'Xander thought of me that way?! When did this happen? How did I not notice it at all?'
She glanced at the closed door, then at the drunken man before her. She said cautiously, "Young Master Xander,
you drank too much. I'll pretend I haven't heard these before." "I did not drink too much! I meant what I said!"
As the words got deep, Xander reached out to grab Rosalie's hand. She hurriedly pretended to sip her tea, holding
the teacup to avoid him.
There was a trace of bitterness across Xander's face. "Whether it’s your professionalism or your gentleness toward
others. I’m deeply attracted to all of it. I always feel that we’re meant to be. At least, in terms of medical skills, no
one in the world can match you better than me!"
Rosalie was in shock, her hand that held the teacup trembled slightly.

'No wonder Xander's attitude was strange during this time. So that's why...' "I know you have two children, so you’re
wary about choosing a partner."
Xander had his heart on his sleeve. "You can rest assured; I like them very much. As long as you are willing to be
with me, I will treat them as my own! Even...even if they are your children with Byron, I don't mind either!"
When Lucian and Nox's true identity was mentioned, Rosalie suddenly tightened her grip on the teacup and glanced
at him.
Then she realized, 'He only said that because of the statement issued by Lawrence Corporation some time ago.'
She breathed a sigh of relief.
"I appreciate your sincerity, but I only regard you as a good partner. I'm afraid I can't reciprocate. If you still wish to
continue our cooperation, please don't speak of this matter anymore."
She put down the teacup and calmly looked at the person in front of her. Her tone was detached.
