Watch Me Win Alpha (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 360

Chapter 360

Alexander digests his mother’s words, and for a long time, the two sit in silence surrounded by the perfume of the flowers that Helen planted with care. Alexander could tell that his mother had her own agenda with this conversation, but he just couldn’t tell what it was. He needed to know her real opinion about this, but he had a feeling that she wasn’t going to tell him the truth.

“What is your honest opinion about Olivia and me?” Alexander asked and picked up a snickerdoodle cookie. But he didn’t eat it. He merely held it in his hands. “Don’t hold anything back, Mother. I’m really asking you what you really think about this whole situation.”

Helen smiled and patted her son’s hand. “Honey, even if I didn’t agree with you pursuing Olivia, would you actually listen to me?”

A reluctant smile pulled on the corners of his mouth. “No, probably not,” he admitted.

At that moment, triumph rang through Helen. She knew that she was smart to act this way. She felt no remorse for trying to manipulate her son. He didn’t know what was best for him. She did.

“Come on, Mom. I really do want to hear your opinion even if I don’t like it or listen to it,” Alexander said after a moment.

Helen sighed. “Honey, there’s nothing I can do about it. I’m trying to accept that, and you need to give me some time to do so. I didn’t know how deep your feelings were for Olivia before today. I thought that all the rumors between you two were untrue. You’ve given me so much to think about that it’s going to take some time for me to process everything.”

Alexander’s eyes sharpened. He had caught his mother in a lie. “If you just found out about Olivia and I today, why did you call Jess back to the city a few days ago?” he demanded.

This had been the real reason that he had come here. He wanted to confront my his mother about Jess.

Helen’s pulse quickened, but she forced herself to stay calm. “I didn’t call Jess back,” she said in an even tone. “Jess called me a few days ago and told me that she was moving back to the city. I tried to dissuade her against it because I remembered how much trouble she caused you, but Jess is a grown woman who makes her own choices. She seemed determined to come back. I’ve been trying to warn you ever since I found out.”

Alexander stared at his mother, trying to figure out if she was lying.

Helen’s mouth dropped open. “Did you really think that I would bring Jess back to the city just to cause a rift between you and Olivia?”

Alexander raised one of his eyebrows. “Can you blame me?”
