Chapter 142 Are You Sending Alice to Preschool?
Elizabeth suddenly realized that Alexander's muscles were tense. He seemed to be holding his breath. Moreover, his body felt unusually warm. Thinking he might have a fever, Elizabeth asked nervously, "What's wrong with you?"
"Don't move!" Alexander said.
Elizabeth asked again, "Are you sick? Do you need to see a doctor? I won't move you."
Keeping silent, he got out of bed, moving stiffly past Elizabeth.
Elizabeth was stunned.
Wearing nothing, he got out of bed and put on slippers right in front of her.
Elizabeth's face turned red with embarrassment.
"Haven't you already seen my body?" Alexander sneered coldly.
Then, he put on his slippers, walking to the bathroom. Shortly after, Elizabeth heard the door slam shut.
She curled up in the bed, scared that he might pounce on her at any moment. And she didn't dare to sleep, spending two whole hours waiting for Alexander to come out of the bathroom in her nervousness.
However, she could hear the sound of the shower running.
She stayed awake, waiting for him. After about half an hour, Alexander finally came out of the bathroom, bringing a chill with him that made Elizabeth shiver even under the covers.
Without any warning, Alexander lifted the blanket and got into bed, then wrapped Elizabeth in his arms.
Elizabeth felt like crying from the coldness of Alexander's body.
"Cold," she said miserably. "Your body is so cold."
Alexander replied irritably, "You brought this on yourself!"
Elizabeth remained silent.
Didn't he feel cold?
He was cold too!
Holding her was already a great struggle for Alexander, but when he thought about the afternoon, when he was cleaning her wounds in the office, those abrasions were so shocking. He thought she was still new to intimacy, not knowing how to avoid certain things. So, he kept reminding himself not to touch her that night.
But she kept squirming in his arms which had long gone numb because she had been using his arm as a pillow for hours!
Seeing that it was almost dawn, Alexander needed to rest for a while since there were many things to do during the day, raising his hand to cover her eyes and saying, "Sleep!"
Elizabeth curled up into a ball.
At first, it was indeed cold, but his body warmed up quickly, and she soon got used to the heat and fell asleep.
That night, he didn't touch her.
She slept soundly, but as for him, she didn't know.
In the morning, Elizabeth was still dreaming when Alexander woke her up, still groggy, asking, "What's wrong?"
"Get up. You're coming with me today," Alexander said.
Elizabeth wanted to ask if she was supposed to accompany his guests.
But, thinking that Alice was in the next room, she didn't want her to hear their discussion, moving her lips but saying nothing.
Breakfast was light but plentiful and delicious.
Elizabeth found her appetite was better than the previous day, Alice also enjoyed the breakfast.
"Mom, the breakfast here is better than at home," Alice said in front of Elizabeth, calling Alexander a "bad guy" again.
Alexander was already used to it.
When Alice called him a bad guy, he didn't even blink, continuing to eat his breakfast.
He didn't like to talk while eating, finishing quickly. Then he looked at Alice with a stern face and asked, "Alice, are you done eating?"
Alice nodded quickly, answering, "Yes, I'm done."
"Are you done?" Alexander asked Elizabeth.
Elizabeth replied, "Yes."
After a pause, she asked worriedly, "Is it necessary to bring Alice when you take me out?"
Alexander didn't answer, just getting up, changing clothes, and grabbing his briefcase.
Elizabeth didn't dare to ask more and just held Alice's hand, following Alexander downstairs.
Gavin was already waiting downstairs when he saw Alexander coming down, immediately saying, "Mr. Windsor, I found several options, but I'm not sure if Miss Windsor will like them."
"What is it?" Alice immediately became interested and asked when she heard it was about her.
"First, we need to go to the office for a meeting that is urgent." Alexander said, having received an email that morning about Marcus being admitted to the hospital. Several old leaders in the company had once worked under Marcus.
When Marcus retired, his father Felix took over, those people continued to assist Felix. Now, those people were even older than Felix but still refused to retire, wanting to hold onto power.
Alexander intended to take advantage of Marcus's hospitalization to deal with these people.
The meeting didn't last long, and Alexander was very decisive.
A group of old employees who had once started the business with Marcus were all dealt with by Alexander in one morning, treated fairly.
In that their pensions were very generous, they didn't complain much.
By the time all this was done, it was already a little past ten in the morning.
Alexander hurried out of the meeting room, went to his office, where he saw Elizabeth and Alice sitting obediently on the sofa.
"Let's go!" Alexander said.
Elizabeth asked, "Do we have to bring Alice? She's so young and shouldn't see those dirty scenes. I don't insist on her following me. Can she stay and play in your office? You can trust your office, right?"
Alice, hearing Elizabeth say this, suddenly hugged Elizabeth's leg and said, "No! I want to stay with Mom!"
Alexander remained silent.
Every time, he wanted to knock some sense into Elizabeth's head!
She had maybe kept baby brain for six years, her reactions still being so slow.
So stupid!
Alexander bent down, and picked up Alice, walking out with big strides. Elizabeth followed closely behind, holding Alice's hand to prevent her from being scared. This family of three images drew admiration from everyone in the Windsor Group.
But Elizabeth felt very bitter inside.
When they reached the car, Gavin was already waiting outside.
"Mr. Windsor," Gavin handed some documents to Alexander, saying, "Here are three excellent preschools in Sunwillow City that are the best private preschools in Aldoria."
Elizabeth was stunned, asking, "Are you sending Alice to preschool?"
