Chapter 211 Taking You Home to Meet the Family
Elizabeth felt a bit uneasy, asking, "What's wrong?"
Alexander didn't answer her, just giving her a meaningful look, then moving an entire plate of food in front of himself, not leaving any for Elizabeth.
Elizabeth was speechless, only knowing him to be cold, ruthless, cruel, domineering, and sharp-tongued.
Today, she learned that he would even fight her for food!
This food was made by her!
Elizabeth watched as Alexander ate everything, leaving only scraps at the end.
And was it really that delicious?
She noticed that he was eating with such joy and focus. After finishing, he, looking satisfied, said to her, "I'm going to take a shower. Bring me a set of loungewear in a bit."
Elizabeth remained silent.
She was the one who said she was hungry, but she hadn't eaten much at all.
She watched as he went into the bathroom. Feeling tempted, she used her utensils to taste the food scraps, immediately stunned.
It was incredibly salty.
No wonder Alexander drank so much water, not saying anything.
The seasoning she used was completely off.
But Alexander ate it all by himself.
Elizabeth's heart suddenly felt warm.
After quickly finishing her meal, Elizabeth cleaned up the dishes, going to his bedroom to get a sapphire blue loungewear set. When she reached the bathroom door, she realized he was still showering. She was intended to raise her hand to knock, but decided to wait outside when she heard the water still running.
"Come in!" Alexander suddenly said.
Elizabeth was taken aback, asking, "What?"
"If you don't come in, how am I supposed to get dressed?" Alexander asked.
Only then did Elizabeth push the door open and enter. The bathroom was filled with steam, making it hard to see. She didn't dare look around, accidentally bumping into his firm, wet body. When she looked up, she saw Alexander looking at her.
Elizabeth immediately lowered her head, her face turning red again.
She realized she blushed very easily. In the past six years, she had blushed less than three times, but today alone, she had blushed four times.
Alexander sneered, "Never seen my body before?"
Elizabeth said, "Here's your clothes. I'm leaving."
"Aren't you going to reward me?" Alexander asked.
Elizabeth replied, "Thank you for teaching me how to drive. Thank you for eating that food."
Alexander's voice turned colder. "Can you show a bit more sincerity?"
Elizabeth asked, "How do you want me to thank you?"
"Help me get dressed!" Alexander said.
Help him get dressed?
Elizabeth had never helped a man get dressed in her life. She didn't even know where to start. Seeing Alexander raise his arms, waiting for her, Elizabeth took out the loungewear top, helping him put his left arm in first, then the right arm. With both arms in, all that was left was to button it up.
To button it, she had to get close to him, almost pressing against him. She could smell the fresh scent of his post-shower body. Despite the cold weather, he always took cold showers.
However, his skin was still warm.
When her fingertips brushed against him, she felt a tingling sensation, quickly pulling back. Even though it was just a few buttons, she found it particularly difficult.
Especially the top buttons. He was taller than her, so she had to stand on tiptoe to button them, which made her unsteady.
In a moment of carelessness, she fell into his arms.
She then realized it was his iron-like arm that had caught her. Instinctively, she tried to push away, but the more she pushed, the tighter he held her.
Before she could break free, his lips were on hers.
Just then, his phone rang.
The phone was in the pile of clothes he had taken off. When Alexander heard the ringtone, a flash of cold ruthlessness crossed his face, but it quickly disappeared. He let go of Elizabeth to answer the call.
Elizabeth took the opportunity to escape.
The call was from Felix. "Alexander, it's been three weeks since you last brought Alice over. We all miss Alice. Tomorrow is the weekend. Bring her back."
Felix's tone was half pleading, half commanding.
"Got it," Alexander didn't refuse.
Since Felix wanted him to return to the manor, he would take Alice and Elizabeth back tomorrow.
After hanging up, Alexander put down his phone. Seeing the buttons Elizabeth had fastened incorrectly, he couldn't help but laugh. He then fixed the buttons himself, getting dressed, and putting on slippers to go out.
Just then, Mia came back with Alice.
Alexander's plans were interrupted, but it didn't matter. He could wait until the evening when there would be more time.
That night, Elizabeth was destined to repay Alexander for teaching her to drive with her body.
Afterward, Alexander sneered coldly at her, "Marrying you is such bad luck for me. I have to teach you day and night. After all this time, you're still so clumsy! I have to help you with everything!"
Elizabeth lightly hit Alexander's chest with her wrist.
Alexander grabbed her wrist, wrapped his other arm around her neck, and then turned off the wall lamp, saying only, "Sleep."
The next day.
Elizabeth woke up early and chose a comfortable casual outfit, thinking they would practice driving again. However, Alexander said, "No driving practice today."
Elizabeth replied, "Okay."
She felt relieved. She wasn't too keen on driving, and she couldn't afford a car anyway. Even if she saved some money, she needed to find Samuel and visit her deceased mother's grave.
These were the two most important things in her life.
She couldn't afford a car. Even though Alexander had bought one for her, she didn't really want it.
So, no driving practice was fine. She could spend the day with Alice, studying some materials to strengthen her design skills. After all, when she returned to work, she would be the lead designer.
However, to her surprise, Alexander then said, "After breakfast, change your clothes. We're taking Alice to The Windsor Manor."
Elizabeth was shocked, asking, "What? Going back to the manor again? Isn't it enough for you to take Alice? Last time Alice caused so much trouble there, and now we're going back?"
"Don't you want to meet my family?" Alexander asked.
