Rebirth as The Billionaire's Seventh Wife-Chapter 98: Exposed!

After the party ended and a few guests and family members had already departed from the hall, Aurora couldn’t leave because David had pulled her into a corner and demanded an explanation.

They settled onto the cozy sofa facing each other.

Aurora was grateful that Alex allowed her to speak to David. However, he was still there waiting for her on another sofa nearby. She could see that he seemed busy scolding Alvin.

Turning her gaze back to David, Aurora couldn’t help but stifle a laugh at how sharp his piercing gaze was. He looked just like someone who had come to collect a debt, as if she had somehow neglected to pay her billion-dollar debt to him.

After gazing at him silently for a few more seconds, Aurora finally broke the silence, "Didn’t Alex explain it to you?" she asked, puzzled.

Aurora remembered Alex saying he would take care of David, so she didn’t need to worry about him.

"No. He didn’t say anything about your marriage," David replied, his eyes glancing sharply at Alex before returning to Aurora.

He continued, "So, tell me why you hid that you were married? And your husband is not just an ordinary man, but he is Alexander Graystone?"

Aurora gently shook her head with a playful grin, teasing him, "Geez, David, since when do you have amnesia?" Her smile brightened as she noticed his brows furrowed in confusion. freewebnøvel.coɱ

"Aurora Spencer, I’m fucking serious..." David snapped in his low voice, worried that Alex would hear him. He didn’t want to make his cousin angry, or his life might be in danger.

"Heaven, why are you mad at me?" Aurora rolls her eyes and continues, "You seem to forget that when we spoke in the parking lot, I told you to stop chasing me because I’m married."

She clearly remembers sharing that with him; this silly David just laughed, thinking she was joking.

Suddenly, David’s expression turned hard.

"No way, Aurora... At that time, are you serious?"

"Yes! I’m trying to explain, but you appear unwilling to accept it," she replied.

Noticing David’s silence and the disbelief in his eyes, Aurora continued, clarifying that her marriage to Alex was her father’s request before he passed away.

"Why didn’t you mention that you married him? You know he’s my cousin..." David protests.

"I can’t! Alex certainly has his reasons for keeping our marriage private. And I will respect that. I wish I could share more with you, but honoring his wishes is more important."

She shrugged before continuing, "You will not believe it if I tell you that Alex only introduced me to his grandpa and parents before this birthday party..."

A warm smile spread across her lips as she noticed David’s eyes widen in surprise. She genuinely continued to tell David the truth. However, she did not mention her marriage contract with Alex. No one would know about it until the end of their contract period.

"Now you understand why I moved on from Max, right? It’s hard to be interested in him when my heart belongs to Alexander Graystone!"

Although her marriage to Alex seems abrupt, what she said is true; she married him. And whether David believes it or not, she no longer cares.

...

Earlier, it was hard for David to believe that Aurora, who a few months ago was still chasing Max, had suddenly married Alex. But now, after hearing how convincing she was, he could only accept the truth.

Despite Aurora rejecting him repeatedly, he now realized that his heart was finally at peace. This was because Alex, the man who had won Aurora’s affection, was the one who had defeated him. He could never win Aurora’s heart away from Alex.

David offered Alex a quick, wry smile.

’Big bro, Alex... congratulations on your marriage to her. I hope you never hurt her because if you do, you’ll be my enemy, even though you’re my cousin!’

Once he felt a bit better and accepted the shocking news, which almost caused him to rush to the hospital with a cardiac arrest from the shock, David smiled calmly and looked at Aurora.

But then, David’s smile slowly faded as a thought crossed his mind.

"Aurora, I nearly forgot to ask—who is Josh? You seem quite close to him," David said. He still had suspicions about Aurora and Josh being a couple, but knowing the truth, Josh still puzzled him.

"Josh? He is my husband’s right-hand man. Alex asked him to be my bodyguard," Aurora said with a calm smile, her words making David nearly choke with surprise.

"Holy fuck, Aurora! I can’t believe it! Josh is your bodyguard!?" David shouted in surprise upon learning this.

"David Morisson! If you insult my wife again, our agreement will be canceled..." Alex’s icy tone immediately caused David to stiffen. He clenched his lips and offered an awkward smile in response to Alex.

"B-brother Alex, I apologize. I promise never to repeat those words..." He begged while raising two fingers to create a V sign.

Aurora, who had witnessed Alex scold David, felt slightly stunned. Knowing how attentively he listened to their conversation, he even scolded David for trivial matters. A warm feeling filled her heart.

However, recalling his sentence, her brow furrowed. What deal did Alex make with David?

A curiosity slowly fills her mind, and she can’t help but ask, "What deal did you do with Alex?"

David’s worried and somber expression vanished instantly. Now, he looked calm and focused as if a thick and hazy fog had cleared out around him; he said, "He asked me to keep your marriage with him a secret from anyone, especially our college friends..."

"So?" Aurora asked after his nonsensical answer.

"I requested something to align with his request!"

Aurora was astonished. She couldn’t believe that Alex accepted David’s request.

"And he agreed to give you what you asked for?" Seeing David nod happily, she continued, "What did you ask for?"

"Internship!"

"What the hell! So you’re going to join Max and my internship batch?"

"Mhm! And your hubby asked me to keep you distanced from Max."

Aurora was even more shocked.

’Since when has Alex learned about Max?’ She wondered, gazing at him.
