Chapter 558 - Kit Was Inciting Trouble (1/2)

Meanwhile, Alexandra, who was dancing with Nicolae, was not saying much. She was still upset about her resemblances to the bride. She was suspecting that was the reason why Nicolae treated her well.

Her frustrations only grew because Nicolae did not seem to care that she was pouting. Halfway the song, she finally could not stand it anymore.

”That Aleksis ... her eyes are unique ...” she said suddenly. ”I have always been praised for having a unique pair of eyes, but it turns out there are other people who have something similar. Your father, Lauriel is one example, and Aleksis, the bride, is another.”

Nicolae looked into Alexandra's eyes and nodded, ”That's right.”

”I remember four years ago, Eli looked at me for a long time, and I thought he liked me. But it was now apparent that he is indifferent to me. That made me very confused. I only found out the answer today. I think at that time I reminded him of Aleksis,” Alexandra said again.

”Is that so?” Nicolae asked. This was something he did not know. But upon deliberating a bit, he had to acknowledge that at a glance, Alexandra looked similar to Aleksis. Also, when viewed closely, her unique eyes could really remind people of the other woman.

”Yeah.  And that is enough to upset me ...” Alexandra complained.

”Why would you be upset?” Nicolae asked, clearly not understanding.

”Yes, of course, I could only be upset. People will always compare us, and maybe those who can't get her will approach me as a rebound or a substitute for her. Nobody likes being a rebound,” Alexandra replied curtly.

She gave Nicolae a probing look as if she wanted to force the man to come clean to her, to make him fess up that he indeed approached her because she looked like Aleksis.

Nicolae was not naive so he immediately understood what Alexandra's words meant. He did smile, but his words sounded far from sweet.

”Aleksis has inner beauty and other great qualities that go far beyond her physical appearance and a unique pair of eyes. I'm sure that even if there are women who physically resemble Aleksis, they will never be able to imitate her personality. A woman's beauty is only skin deep. Love requires more than physical attraction.”

Just then the song ended and Nicolae bowed slightly before leaving Alexandra. The girl was stunned and was left rooted in her place. Nicolae's words that were spoken so softly made her feel like something heavy was pressed on her heart.

So that means I'm just physically similar to her but without her inherent beauty? Her mind was filled with anger. After that, she stomped her feet and returned to her chair with a crumpled face.

Alexandra was not the only guest present filled with resentment at that party. Ever since she saw Alaric walk down the wedding aisle and shock everyone as he took the position of the groom, Kit Blue had been wallowing in anger and jealousy.

She did not expect that her four years of waiting would end up in vain. She felt that she had been patient enough. She repeatedly came to various events held by Elios Linden and his family to support the man's ambition, namely to become the clan leader, replacing Caspar Schneider, but now ... he actually forsook her and married the daughter of the Schneider family...
