Chapter 153

He looked out at the pitch-black window and happened to face the not-so-high courtyard wall.

Kieran got it: “I see.”

Alarieka’s eyebrows moved, frowning a little: “I just wanted to find Clarissa. I wasn’t going to do anything else.”

Kieran closed his eyes again, his voice a bit low: “It had nothing to do with me.”

Alarieka said in a low voice, “Are you trying to kick me out? I thought Mr. Argent was generous and wouldn’t mind.”

Kieran seemed to scoff a little, “Then you got me wrong.”

Alarieka frowned even more. “I won’t bother you. I’m leaving now.”

She had just turned around when Kieran’s voice came from behind her.

“Where could you go? There were people everywhere outside.”

Alarieka clenched her palm, “None of your business.”

She just threw Kieran’s words right back at him.

After saying this, Alarieka started to leave.

There was no sound from Kieran behind her for a long time.

After a moment, Alarieka’s footsteps paused at the doorway.

Kieran’s words from a second ago were still lingering in her ears.

“Alarieka, who were you?”

Kieran said this in a calm way, but it had a huge impact, causing a storm in Alarieka’s heart.

She stood there stiffly, eyes slightly wide, breathing fast, hands clenched tight, heart starting to race, and it seemed like her palms were even sweating.

Kieran doubted her.

Did he know?

When did Kieran start to get suspicious?

At that moment, Alarieka did panic, but when she calmed down and thought it through, she quickly settled down.

Compared to how she used to be, her personality was really totally different now.

Kieran was smart, so it was only a matter of time before he noticed the difference.

It really wasn’t a good idea for outsiders to know about her rebirth.

But even if she told everyone she was reborn and had already lived a whole life, no one would believe her. They’d probably just think she was crazy.

Even if Kieran really noticed something different about her, he still couldn’t suspect her identity.

Because she was Alarieka.

The real deal Alarieka, guaranteed.

So she paused at the door and said calmly, “Mr. Argent was drunk. What nonsense was he talking about?”

Even without looking back, Alarieka still felt Kieran’s sharp, cold gaze on her back.

Alarieka didn’t pay any more attention, lifted her foot, and put her hand on the doorknob outside.

As soon as she turned the handle and pushed the door open a crack, the sound from outside came right in.

“When does the party start? Why isn’t Kier out yet?”

“How about Rose? Was she still practicing piano?”

It was Wallace.

Wallace came over.

Alarieka felt a pang in her heart and quickly shut the door.

It was just like Kieran said, she didn’t have an invitation.

All the guests at this charity dinner were from famous and wealthy families. Whether in the previous life or in this life, the Argent family never let her take part in this kind of dinner.

The official reason was so she could focus on her studies.

Actually, everyone knew it meant they didn’t admit she was an Argent family member.

If Wallace found out she was here, she’d get kicked out sooner or later.

She couldn’t even see Clarissa’s face.

Not to mention, they had to clear the barbecue stand of suspicion as soon as possible.

Chapter 159

Alarieka quickly turned around, leaned her back against the door, and stared at the man on the sofa.

Kieran closed his eyes, raised his long fingers, and pinched the spot between his eyebrows.

Alarieka’s eyes flickered, then she lowered her eyelids.

“I…” Alarieka said with difficulty. She had just been arguing with Kieran.

“Can I stay here for now? I’ll leave in a bit, really won’t stay long.”

Kieran rubbed his forehead, like he didn’t hear what she said at all, and didn’t react.

Alarieka bit her lip and shamelessly stood at the entrance.

Kieran rubbed his brow, then rubbed his temples, looking really tired.

Alarieka didn’t know where to look and just glanced around. Then she saw the wine glass on the coffee table in front of Kieran. There was still a bit of rich red wine in the glass.

A flash of inspiration went through her mind.

It had been so long, she was about to forget.

Kieran had a little problem: sometimes when he drank, he got headaches.

Kieran just had a headache.

Alarieka looked a bit embarrassed and lowered her eyelids.

Before, after she found out Kieran had this problem, she would often bring him a bowl of hangover soup after his social events, and she even took the trouble to figure out what Kieran liked and made the flavor he loved.
