Chapter 108: CHAPTER 108 – Ann’s doubt.
In the world, there were many girls, ladies, and even grannies who liked Alex or loved Alex. After all, love was a strange thing, and no one knew when it would hit someone.
All of this was because of Alex's charms, and Alex knew it but he didn't care. Alex had lowered his charm to an acceptable level as it was quite annoying for him to see people freeze whenever they looked at him.
But still, he knew that his looks were not something that would bring him trouble only, after all, although people say that one should never judge a book by its cover, they do it every time.
It was not like he was blaming them or saying that it was wrong, not at all, that was just how the world was.
But let's leave that at that, for now.
Amelia was one of the girls who had fallen for Alex as well, but since the love they had for him was just because of his looks, it was still not at the level where they would die for him (As I always say, there can be exceptions).
Amelia was a girl with big dreams, she was someone who wouldn't move if there was no profit for her, so even if she loved Alex, that didn't mean that she would sacrifice her dream for him.
So, she tried her luck on Alex, hoping that she could profit from it even if she were rejected by Alex.
But how could she have what would happen?
Ann and Alice looked at the whole scenario play out in front of them, and they saw Alex's reactions as well.
Alice being simple-headed didn't think much about it, but Ann was not the same.
Ann is someone who thinks deeply about everything, so when she saw a girl coming up and proposing to Alex, she blanked out for a moment.
Ann knew that Alex was not going to accept Amelia or just any random girl like that who came up to him, just because of his looks, but what if he did accept it?
'Will Alex get into a relationship with a girl other than Alice or me?'
'He won't, right?'
Ann didn't know what to think, but after a while, she calmed down.
She went into deep thought, ignoring the declaration Alice was making.
'He does like us; I know that even Alice knows that....'
Ann knew that Alex liked both of them, Alice did as well, and both of them were fine with sharing Alex with each other, after all, they were not strangers, rather they were best friends.
Harem was not something new nowadays, it was pretty common as many strong raiders have their harem, be it male or female.
So, the thought of sharing Alex didn't repulse them, rather they would be happy if that were to happen, after all, Alex was too good for them to have him alone.
If he has them both, then they would feel at least a bit more at ease.
They could tell themselves: He is too good for me, but I am willing to share him with others for his happiness.
'But why has he never made a move on us?'
There was question after question in Ann's mind.
She never thought about it before, but now that she thinks about it, she couldn't help but think about it.
The most Alex would do to them was look at them with fondness and caress them with care, but that was all.
He never kissed them, never touched them in a perverted way, neither did he look at them in a perverted way much less taking them to bed.
Alex would just look at them with care and fondness now and then, it was like he was stopping himself or something like that.
Ann looked at Alex who was sitting straight beside Alice.
'What is it, Alex......?'
'What stops you….?'
'Do you not love us – no, you do love us, it can't be clearer, so why?'
'Why do you never make a move on any of us?'
Ann just kept asking those questions inwardly, hoping that Alex could somehow answer them, but she also knew that he could not hear her.
But she just hoped to know what was there in his head, what he thinks all the time, does he have some problems that she didn't know of?
Ann didn't know what problem Alex had and she also knew that he would probably not tell them for now, after all, he was just like that.
He would help his loved ones, and the people he cared for to the best of his abilities, but he would never reach out to someone for help.
'We will have to do it.'
Ann's eyes were burning with determination.
'If he won't make a move on us, then we will do it.'
Ann spoke in her mind, but she didn't notice that she had been saying 'we' every time she spoke.
This clearly showed that she alone didn't have the courage to do that, she needed support, but she didn't notice that.
'Once we are a part of your life, we will have the right to know more about your life, after all, we will be a part of it.'
Ann looked at Alex as she spoke.
She knew that he was not hearing these things, but it gave her courage, something she needed the most, right now.
"Ann?"
As she was in her thoughts, she heard Alice's voice.
Then she looked around only to realize that the event was over.
Ann then looked at Alex deeply only to make him confused.
"What's wrong?" Alice found Ann's behavior a bit weird, so she asked.
"I will talk to you later about it," Ann spoke, but Alice kept looking at her.
Ann could tell what Alice meant by that stare, it was an 'Are you sure?' stare.
Ann just nodded her head, making Alice do the same. Then Ann moved toward the edge of the stage and looked at the reporters before she spoke.
"The press conference is over now, please leave in an orderly manner."
The reporters moved in an orderly manner, slowly moving out of the exit while Alice, Alex, and Frank moved towards the gate that led to the guild's main hall.
Ann looked at Alex who was walking in a relaxed manner with no guard up, but she knew that the truth was far from that.
She didn't think that any kind of surprise attack could harm Alex ever, he had a cheat skill for that, after all.
'I fell for a monstrously powerful guy….' Ann sighed but there was a soft smile gracing her lips.
'Hm, that could be a nice title for female lead romance novels….' Ann commented as she thought of her last words.
Just then she snapped her head toward the exit, she looked around with narrowed eyes.
But after not finding anything for a while, she just turned around and left the hall as well.
