Chapter 139 Making Mommy Do Physical Labor Again
This afternoon, many of the company's executives came to see Alexander, either for contract matters or project issues. However, whenever they saw the sign on the door, they immediately thought of Alice, whom Alexander had brought in this morning.
Everyone was smart enough to figure it out.
Since Alice was here, naturally, Alice's mother would also come along.
Elizabeth finally sobered from the passion because she and Alexander had moved to the window of the inner room that was on the 66th floor, with an unobstructed view outside, no one could possibly spy on them.
She even felt that her previous self was a facade. Only at that moment did she feel like her true self, thinking her true self was utterly shameless, so much so that she despised herself.
And this side of her was discovered by Alexander.
Embarrassed, awakened by a gentle breeze, Elizabeth immediately released her arms from around Alexander's neck. As she let go, she fell backward, making Alexander quickly reach out to support her back and head.
"Do you want to fall yourself to death?" Alexander roared.
Elizabeth pleaded, "Please let go of me! Wouldn't it be better if I fell to my death? Best if I fell from this building and shattered into pieces!" At this moment, she just wanted to escape.
She was worried about Alice, afraid that Alice would come back and see her like this.
Secondly, she was indeed too ashamed to face anyone. She had come to the Windsor Group and Alexander's office to find Alice. How did it end up like this?
She really didn't want to live anymore!
However, she stubbornly tried to break free and walk out, but she couldn't even take a single step and sat down on the floor, having no strength left at all.
Alexander reached out and pulled her up, holding her in his arms, and calmly saying, "You came here on your own!"
He casually took a men's shirt from the wardrobe and put it on her before placing her on the bed, saying expressionlessly, "Get some rest."
With that, Alexander closed the door, going back to his work.
Elizabeth was left alone on the single bed in the inner room, wanting to cry but unable to.
She didn't even know where the clothes she had worn from home had gone. In one day, he had to have his subordinates buy her two sets of clothes. It was truly ridiculous.
But Elizabeth couldn't do anything.
Later, when Alice came back with Gavin after eating steak, she brought shrimp and toast for Elizabeth, but Elizabeth couldn't come out to eat.
Gavin, being sensible, didn't enter Alexander's office.
He only left Alice at the office door and said gently, "Miss Windsor, this office is a private space for you and your parents. It's not appropriate for me to go in. I'll knock, and you can go in alone to bring food to your mom, okay?"
Alice raised her chin, saying, "I also think you shouldn't disturb our family of three."
Gavin remained silent.
To be precise, no one could disturb Elizabeth and Alexander's world!
But Alice was their daughter. No matter how much she disturbed them, they couldn't do anything to her!
Gavin smiled at Alice, knocking on the door.
"Who is it?" Alexander's furious voice came from inside.
"I want to see Mommy," Alice said unceremoniously.
The door immediately opened.
Gavin quickly ran away.
Alice strutted in and saw Elizabeth resting in the inner room, curiously asking, "Mommy, why are you lying in bed again?"
"Mommy's not feeling well, Alice. Tell Mommy, are you full?" Elizabeth asked.
"I'm very full and very happy. Gavin told me many stories." Alice answered. She was now less and less annoyed with the bad guy and Gavin. If it weren't for Elizabeth always being afraid of and hating Alexander, she would have called Alexander 'Daddy' by now.
"Mommy, are you sick? Do you have a fever?" Alice asked, concerned, touching Elizabeth's forehead.
Elizabeth's voice was low and guilty, "Mommy's not physically unwell. I just feel like I almost forgot about you and Samuel. I'm sorry to you."
"Alice, your mommy needs to rest. Come out!" Alexander said with a stern face.
Alice was somewhat afraid of Alexander. She didn't dare to argue with him, so she obediently nodded, letting Alexander lead her out by the hand.
"Bad guy!" Alice shouted, lying opposite Alexander, and looking at him seriously, "My mom is sick, and you won't even get her checked!"
"Your mom is not sick!" Alexander said.
"Impossible! Then why is my mom so tired?" Alice asked fiercely.
"Your mom is tired because she was very worried about you at home. In that you called her, she had to come over, and it was a long journey!" Alexander made up an excuse to placate Alice.
"Oh. So it's my fault?" Alice said guiltily.
"Of course! So from now on, don't disturb your mom's rest!" Alexander said.
"Okay!" Five-year-old Alice was easy to deceive.
Listening to the conversation between Alice and Alexander outside, Elizabeth felt a strange sense of disorientation, as if they really were a family of three.
Alexander working outside, she lying in bed, Alice was running back and forth between them, occasionally making some childish sounds.
It felt like a peaceful and harmonious world.
Elizabeth unknowingly fell asleep.
It was a little past three in the afternoon, and Elizabeth slept until after six.
Three hours later, it was completely dark.
When Elizabeth woke up again, she felt much more refreshed. Alice had gone off somewhere to play, and by her bedside was a new set of clothes and shoes. She picked them up and put them on, looking at herself in the mirror.
The turtleneck sweater perfectly covered the purple-red hickeys on her neck. One shoulder was slightly exposed, the exposed part had no marks, while the other side had a thin brown belt, giving it a textured look.
The sweater was a mid-length style, with a thin belt at the waist. When the belt was fastened, it made Elizabeth's waist look even slimmer. Paired with black slim-fit pants, her legs looked very long.
The high heels on her feet were very high, but her feet didn't feel tired at all.
No wonder women loved wearing expensive high heels.
The door suddenly opened, Elizabeth turned around in shock, seeing Alexander walk in.
Seeing Elizabeth dressed, Alexander was stunned.
