Chapter 207 Doing What Should Be Done at Night
Robert was silent.
After a second, he stammered with a mix of disbelief and regret, asking Elizabeth, "You look so pure and young, but you're already married?"
Elizabeth said politely, "Please step aside."
She seemed to have already felt the murderous gaze of Alexander in that imposing black car.
"Elizabeth, is your husband good to you? You must have been tricked into marriage, right? Otherwise, how could you be married so young?" Robert blocked Elizabeth, asking.
Elizabeth said, "Excuse me, Mr. Lavien, please move."
With that, she pushed Robert aside, hurrying away.
"Elizabeth!" Robert shouted from behind, "Even if you're married, you still have the freedom to make friends!"
If Alexander weren't waiting ahead, Elizabeth would really want to ask Robert what exactly he liked about her. Did he like her silence? Or her dowdy fashion sense?
Or, like Owen six years ago, was Robert just looking for something new?
But Elizabeth didn't have time to ask.
Because Alexander was waiting for her up ahead.
Elizabeth hurriedly walked towards Alexander's car. Robert kept staring at her back, coincidentally, a bus stopping right behind her, blocking Robert and the others' view.
By the time the bus drove away, Elizabeth had already gotten into Alexander's car, leaving.
Elizabeth was very obedient. As soon as she got in the car, she reported, "His name is Robert Lavien. It seems his family is from Pariz. I heard he has a prominent background. Could he be related to your brother Gideon?"
Gideon's relative?
Elizabeth was quite smart!
Robert was Gideon's nephew!
Alexander looked at Elizabeth with a fierce expression, saying, "You seem very interested in his family background!"
He didn't notice the intense jealousy in his tone, but Gavin, who was driving, did.
Elizabeth explained, "I just wanted to tell you that he's the one pestering me."
Why did she have to explain this to him?
Because they were married?
They were just legally married! He hadn't even announced to anyone that she was his wife!
Why did she have to explain everything to him?
But when Elizabeth saw Alexander's cold, murderous gaze, she got scared, not daring to speak.
"Are you off this weekend?" Alexander asked, suddenly changing the subject.
Elizabeth asked, "What?"
Alexander repeated, "I asked if you're off tomorrow!"
Elizabeth replied, "No."
"No day off? Why are you working at a job that doesn't even give you a day off!" Alexander asked discontentedly.
Elizabeth wiped the sweat from her forehead, asking, "Weren't we talking about Robert?"
"I know," Alexander said again.
Elizabeth said, "What do you know? There's really nothing between us. I didn't even pay attention to him."
Gavin, who was driving, couldn't help but laugh again.
Elizabeth was really too naive.
She might look cold and perceptive on the surface, but deep down, she was as honest as could be. The matter of Robert speaking to her at the company entrance was now concluded by her explanation.
Seeing Gavin laugh, Elizabeth was even more at a loss.
Fortunately, although Gavin was paid by Alexander, he always helped Elizabeth. He immediately smoothed things over, asking, "Mrs. Windsor, Mr. Windsor is asking if you're off tomorrow. If you are, he wants to take you for a driving lesson."
"I'm off tomorrow," Elizabeth said, looking at Alexander.
Alexander didn't say anything more, just keeping a serious face.
Elizabeth couldn't figure out what he was thinking. Seeing him not speak, she also remained silent until they arrived at the kindergarten to pick up Alice. Only then did the car fill with laughter again.
"Mom," Alice asked as soon as she got in the car, "Susan's mom wants to add you on social media. Do you want to add her?"
Elizabeth was silent, really not wanting to add her.
She didn't like women like Mira, who were rich but had a nouveau riche attitude.
Besides, she had a conflict with Mira last time? Why add her on social media?
Elizabeth cupped Alice's face, saying, "Alice, Susan's mom and her friends are all rich people. Mom doesn't have time to drink tea and talk about luxury goods and jewelry every day, so let's decline."
"Okay, Mom." Alice said, who always listened to Elizabeth, knowing Elizabeth had it tough, so she never forced Elizabeth to do things she didn't like.
Alice then shared some fun stories from kindergarten with Elizabeth and Alexander.
They chatted and laughed, arriving home before long.
After dinner, it was time for Alexander and Alice to interact. This was also the time Elizabeth looked forward to the most. No matter how formidable Alexander was outside, once he got home, he became the most qualified dad for Alice.
Seeing them play so happily, Elizabeth didn't want to disturb them. She took a towel and went to soak in the bathtub, planning to do some skincare after her bath.
However, just as she wrapped herself in a towel and stepped out of the bathtub, still dripping with water and about to apply a face mask, she saw Alexander leaning against the bathroom door through the mirror, looking at her with a lazy expression.
With the face instantly turning red, Elizabeth turned around and asked, "Where's Alice?"
"You still remember you have a daughter?" Alexander asked in a deep, magnetic voice.
Elizabeth asked, "What do you mean?"
"Recently, besides picking her up and dropping her off, have you thought about what she wants? What does she like to play with?" Alexander asked.
Elizabeth was silent.
If she didn't care about Alice, how had Alice lived these past five years?
The reason she had less interaction with Alice recently was because of him, Alice's dad, who was always competing for Alice's attention!
"Why didn't you add Susan's mom on social media?" he asked.
"They talk about jewelry and brand names, I..." Elizabeth said.
"You have more right to talk about those things than they do!" Alexander said.
Elizabeth said, "I..." Before she could finish, Alexander came over, scooping her up.
"It's so late, what are you doing?" Elizabeth asked, so startled her heart skipped a beat.
She thought Alexander's mind worked in mysterious ways. How could he jump topics so quickly? One second they were talking about adding Mira on social media, and the next he was suddenly carrying her.
Alexander chuckled deeply, "It's so late, what do you think I'm going to do?"
