Hearing Alexander's tone, Michael was genuinely surprised.
He had always assumed that since Alexander and Lilian had reunited, there had to be real feelings between them. If that was the case, then why not divorce Alicia and marry Lilian openly?
Alicia came from no prominent family, and aside from the chairwoman's influence,as he assumed might be the reason for the marriage in the first place. there were no complicated interests tying the marriage together.
Thinking back now, Michael could understand why Lilian had used him as a pawn that day.
Alexander was already another woman's husband. Any woman in Lilian's position would feel insecure.
But now, Michael finally understood why Lilian had sounded so terrified on the phone that night—terrified that Alexander might stop caring about her.
Could it be…
Was Alexander in love with Alicia?
The thought startled him.
But judging from Alexander's reaction just now, Michael knew better than to keep pressing the matter.
