A Good Wife

With the name still on her lips, she turned to Mr. Rock, who was now glaring at the manager's back with clear annoyance.

Her heart was pounding hard as she directly asked, "Are you Alexander's father?"

Rain had never thought to ask Mr. Rock his surname before, but she had intended to get it today before finalizing their contract. 

Now, everything suddenly made more sense…

Rain stared at Mr. Rock, feeling a mix of confusion and curiosity. Once more, she asked, "Are you Alexander's father?"

After a brief pause, Mr. Rock eventually scratched his head while letting out a sheepish laugh. "Caught me, huh? I was planning on keeping up the act for a bit longer, but… I forgot to brief Mrs. Lin about not mentioning my surname," he explained with an amused snort. Guess I'm getting rusty at this."

Rain frowned, trying to piece it all together. "But why would you go through all this? Is the case you mentioned even real?"
