Ch. 4963: Married At First Sight Chapter 4963
Chapter 4963
Aitana had already made things clear to Joaquinâwhatever was between them was their business and shouldnât involve anyone else. Yet the moment she said it, Joaquin marched straight off to confront Alex.
He didnât actually cause trouble, but Aitana still felt guilty that Alex had been dragged into unnecessary drama.
âItâs really not a burden,â Alex said calmly. âMaybe Iâve been around you too much latelyârunning errands for the renovation, grabbing meals, being seen together. Dr. Legare probably misunderstood and assumed weâre dating. He didnât touch me, he just said some unpleasant things.â
He sounded casual, unfazed. âItâs fine. I wonât take it to heart. Iâm someone who can handle anythingâeven if the sky falls, Iâll use it as a blanket. He only came to me because he feels threatened and lacks confidence.â
Then Alex hesitated before asking, âAitana, do you really not have feelings for him? Objectively speaking⌠heâs a good match for you.â
Even after hearing her answer countless times, he still couldnât help testing her again.
âI mean, your second uncle and aunt seem to like him,â he continued. âYouâve known each other for years, you understand each other, and his clinicâs doing well. You both studied medicineâyou have common ground.â
Aitana paused, collecting her thoughts before speaking. âJoaquin is suitable as a friend, not as a husband. Our values clash. If we forced ourselves to be together, we would only argueâconstantly. We view life differently, we handle people differently.
And Iâve only ever seen him as a senior, nothing more. Sure, we can talk about medical topics, but in life? We have nothing in common.â
She exhaled softly. âThe truth is, I didnât reject him just because I donât love him. His feelings for me are tied to my family background. That makes them impure. And honestly? Heâs indecisive. He kept Yehua hanging while pursuing me. I canât respect that.â
âIf he didnât like Yehua, he should have rejected her and let her move on. Instead, he enjoyed her attention while chasing me.â
She continued, âYehua goes to his house nearly every day, cleaning, helping out. They work together at the clinic, they get along, theyâre a better fit. My second uncle likes Joaquin because he mentored him, and in medicine heâs excellent. My second aunt isnât particularly fond of him, thoughâshe likes you more. Even my brother, whoâs only met you a couple of times, said youâre impressive.â
Alex chuckled. âBrother Carlos has good taste.â
âOf course youâre excellent,â Aitana laughed lightly. âAll the York men are. Grandma York really knows how to raise incredible grandsons. Honestly, itâs a shame she didnât run a school.â
âShe actually did once,â Alex revealed. âBut when she got older, she didnât want the responsibility. After my brother took over York Corporation, she slowly sold some properties and handed others to daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law to manage.â
