Chapter 328 No Longer Want to Be Pretentious
Alexander was so shocked that he suddenly sat up.
He suddenly realized that the reason she was acting so strangely today was that she wanted to divorce him.
"No way!" Alexander said with a cold face.
Elizabeth continued, "I know now. You never tried to kill me. Instead, you spent six years looking for me. Because of this, you wasted six years. You originally wanted to take over the island city of Nebula, but because of me, you were delayed for six whole years. And on that island, there are the enemies who killed Mom and her family. Is that right?"
Alexander didn't expect Elizabeth to know so much.
These were all bloody matters that he didn't want her to know about.
"Did Gavin tell you this evening? You said you were downstairs talking to Gavin about Julia, but actually, you were talking about this?" Alexander asked.
Elizabeth shook her head. "No."
Alexander was silent.
"It was Declan." Elizabeth exhaled deeply before continuing, "He came to the company to talk to me today. Compared to the several times before, he was much more polite to me. He told me about your situation. He said you've always wanted to take over that island and that he could mobilize people to help you significantly because he has many subordinates in both the military and political circles. If you have his support and help, your chances of success will be very high."
"Alexander, you are Alice's dad. I don't want you to have any accidents in this life. If that happens, Alice will grow up like I did, without a father's love, bullied, and treated unfairly. I would rather divorce you. I don't want her to lose her dad."
"In the few months since you brought us back, Alice's personality has changed significantly. She's no longer so domineering. She likes making friends and especially likes communicating with others to solve problems. These are all good aspects she's learned."
Elizabeth spoke very frankly and sadly.
Alexander held her tightly in his arms. "I will only marry once in my life, and I will never divorce."
Elizabeth was silent.
After a few seconds, she suddenly threw herself into Alexander's arms and hugged him tightly. "I will live and die with you. I will let you know that I can endure any hardship!"
This was the first time in the six years they had known each other that she had spoken to him so openly.
That night, they were the most harmonious they had ever been.
Afterward, she still didn't sleep.
"Don't you want to sleep?" Alexander asked curiously. Usually, after making love, she would be so tired that she would snuggle into his arm like a lazy cat and want to fall asleep.
But now, she was so energetic.
"Not sleepy!" She rubbed against his chest, and then looked up again. "Are you sleepy?"
Alexander was silent, really wanting to pinch her nose. It was already three or four in the morning. How could he not be sleepy?
It was only today, at this moment, that Alexander truly realized that even though he had been searching for her for six years, it had actually all been part of her plan.
It was only today that Alexander understood what it meant to be a female rogue!
For a moment, he couldn't find the right word to describe a woman who was very passionate in bed.
It was only today that he discovered that the wife he had worked so hard to find was actually a woman who was very passionate in bed!
"Sleep!" Alexander held Elizabeth with one arm and reached out with the other to turn off the wall lamp.
Elizabeth still wanted to talk, but he silenced her with a kiss.
Forcing her like this, half an hour later, Elizabeth finally fell asleep.
The next day.
Two out of the family members woke up very late.
Alice was becoming more and more sensible. She was drinking milk and eating a sandwich alone in the dining room. When she heard the servants walking loudly, Alice would remind them politely, "Please walk more quietly. My mom and dad are still sleeping. I want a little brother or sister, so let them sleep a bit longer."
The servants all smiled knowingly.
That morning, Elizabeth was late for work for the first time.
However, given her usual dedication and responsibility, no one blamed her for being late occasionally.
But everyone in the company was very curious. It was one thing for her to be late. Why were her two best friends also late?
During lunch, Elizabeth, Julia, and Harper went to the cafeteria together. As soon as they sat down, Elizabeth asked in a questioning tone, "Why were you two also late? Tell me honestly!"
Julia and Harper didn't say anything.
"Did you go on a date with a man and end up having sex?" Elizabeth shamelessly teased her two best friends. At this moment, she had obviously forgotten that she had also lost her virginity to Alexander before she even knew him, and not only that, she got pregnant the first time.
"Of course not!" Julia hit Elizabeth. "You, a married woman, think too much! Harper and I are pure, okay? It's not as complicated as you think!"
"Then why were you late today?"
Harper said irritably, "We are women who have never worn beautiful dresses. Yesterday, Mr. Lavien and Mr. Jones took us to buy dresses. We were dazzled by the selection. The dresses were ready-made, and we brought them home yesterday. When we got home, we couldn't sleep. Every hour or so, we would get up to look at them. We were in her room, constantly trying on the dresses and walking in high heels like models."
"So you were so excited that you didn't want to sleep?"
Julia nodded dejectedly. "Yes, we practiced walking like models until four in the morning. Our heels were swollen, and then we went to sleep. My heels still hurt now."
Elizabeth laughed so hard she bent over.
But after laughing, she felt a bit sorry for Julia and Harper.
They were girls who only earned a working-class salary. It's possible that their annual salary couldn't even buy one dress. Even though Elizabeth was a designer, her annual salary could barely buy two dresses.
How could ordinary citizens afford such fashion?
Thinking of this, Elizabeth sincerely praised Julia and Harper, "Believe me; you two are the best. Even without the dresses, you are the most beautiful! Keep it up!"
"Keep it up!"
"Keep it up! We are the best! We are the most beautiful!"
"Poor people. Are you planning to have a one-night stand with a stranger to earn enough for a dress sleeve?" A very sarcastic voice suddenly said from behind.
