Chapter 141 Her Arm Went Numb from Being Pressed
Did Alexander actually feed her the food himself?
For a moment, Elizabeth really couldn't adapt. But before she could react, Alexander had already forced a small spoonful of it into her mouth, and Elizabeth passively swallowed it, which was very refreshing and tasted great.
The food that went down to her stomach suddenly made Elizabeth feel a warm flow, making her stomach feel very comfortable.
She suddenly felt a bit dazed, thinking that she and Alexander were really like a pair of caring lovers, or a couple who had been living together for many years with a deep bond.
Elizabeth couldn't help but feel warm inside.
Alexander, however, gave her a look of annoyance, raising his hand to touch Elizabeth's thin arm and saying in a mocking tone, "You're so skinny, there's no meat on you at all!"
After a while, when he put the second spoonful of the food into her mouth, Elizabeth suddenly sneered inwardly.
He didn't really care about her.
He thought she was too skinny to fetch a good price as a prostitute!
And she actually thought he cared about her!
Suddenly feeling utterly disappointed, Elizabeth cursed herself inwardly. What was there to be heartbroken about? From the moment he brought her back from Collinsport, it was agreed that she would be used to pay off the debt.
Understanding this, Elizabeth obediently ate the food he fed her, one bite at a time. Occasionally, he would even blow on it, treating her like a child. When there was only a third of the bowl left, Elizabeth stopped opening her mouth.
"What's wrong?" Alexander asked, displeased.
"I'm full," Elizabeth said. She was not just full but a bit stuffed.
"Just this much?" Alexander asked and looked at the bowl. "You eat like a cat! No way! Finish this, and then have a steak!"
Elizabeth remained silent. Did he really think of her as a pet?
"I can only eat this much. Eating more will make my stomach uncomfortable." She had always had a small appetite and a light body.
Although he was also of a lean build, he was more than 6 feet tall, and his muscles were as firm as rocks. He looked lean on the surface, but he was actually quite heavy.
He weighed almost twice as much as she did.
So she was determined not to overeat.
However, Alexander's attitude was very firm, ordering, "Finish this! And then eat some more."
He wanted her to have a balanced diet, so she could gain weight quickly.
Under Alexander's strong pressure, she reluctantly finished the food, even eating a few small bites of steak.
She was really stuffed.
Being too full made her sleepy, combined with the fact that she had been running around all day. All the fatigue accumulated, caused Elizabeth to fall asleep shortly after dinner while putting Alice to bed and telling her a story.
Alice, however, was still awake.
Seeing Elizabeth asleep, Alice wanted to pat her, but as soon as she did, Alexander barged in.
He glanced at Elizabeth, who showed no signs of waking up. Alice immediately called out, "Bad Daddy."
Early in the morning, he had taken Alice to the company, letting all the top executives see her, and establishing her identity in the company and the Windsor Group. He had spent the whole day busy getting Gavin to order a children's steak from a Michelin restaurant and having the best designers match her clothes. In the end, all he got was Alice calling him "Bad Daddy."
"Okay," Alexander replied, feeling aggrieved.
A bad daddy was still a daddy.
It was better than Alice just calling him "Bad Guy".
"Is your mom asleep?" Alexander asked Alice.
Alice nodded.
Alexander sternly ordered, "Then you sleep by yourself. You're a big girl now; you need to learn to be independent and sleep on your own!"
A father's way of educating a child was really different from a mother's.
Alice obediently said, "Okay."
He bent down and picked up Elizabeth, and Alice immediately shouted, "Bad Daddy, where are you taking my mom?"
"You need to sleep, and so does your mom," Alexander said, looking at Alice with annoyance.
"You can't do anything to my mom!" Alice requested.
"If I didn't do anything to her, how do you think you were born?" Alexander retorted.
Being puzzled, Alice was about to ask what that meant when she saw Elizabeth's hands suddenly and unconsciously wrap around Alexander's neck. Elizabeth mumbled, "I don't want to think about or care about anything. I just take it one day at a time, okay?"
Elizabeth was dreaming.
In her dream, she couldn't escape Alexander's control, not because he pushed her into the abyss, but because he made her lose herself.
Alexander didn't answer her, just held her tighter, walking into his bedroom.
Elizabeth woke up in the middle of the night.
One of her arms was numb from being pressed. She wanted to turn over but couldn't move. Slowly opening her eyes, the first thing she saw was Alexander's firm, bronze skin under his armpit, suddenly waking up.
She realized she was resting in the crook of his arm, her entire head nestled under his armpit like a docile cat. Alexander was sleeping motionlessly. One of his arms was under her, already numb.
Elizabeth wanted to turn over but didn't want to wake Alexander.
She was really afraid of angering him.
Most importantly, she didn't want to face him without clothes, nor herself without clothes. She slowly and carefully moved her body bit by bit, trying to turn over and face away from Alexander.
However, as soon as she moved, Alexander's arm suddenly tightened, holding her firmly in place.
Alexander didn't speak or open his eyes, just holding her in place with one arm.
Elizabeth was very angry, wanting to push him away, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't. She had to plead, "I just want to turn over."
"Don't move!" Alexander ordered.
Elizabeth felt very wronged, saying, "My arm is numb. Can't I turn over to move it? Even prisoners have the freedom to turn over!"
Tears of grievance fell from her eyes.
Alexander, however, turned over and placed her under him. His cold eyes looking at her, he asked, "Do you think only your arm is numb? My arm is even more numb! I didn't plan to touch you tonight, but you can't seem to hold back!"
Elizabeth wanted to retort, "You..."
"If you move again, I can't guarantee what I'll do next!" Alexander scolded.
