Chapter 346 Personally Putting the Glass Slipper on Elizabeth
Alexander's refusal scared Clara so much that she almost wet herself on the spot.
Clara knew Alexander's methods better than anyone; describing him as a ruthless killer was inaccurate.
Alexander didn't like killing people.
But he often killed people while chatting and laughing, without any warning.
So, Clara could hear the ruthlessness in Alexander's simple refusal towards her family of three.
Clara couldn't help but blurt out, "Grandpa, I need to go out for a bit."
"What?" Declan didn't understand at first.
"I need to pee."
Someone immediately burst out laughing.
Five-year-old Alice laughed so hard she almost fell over, "Mom, look at this ugly woman. She can't even hold her pee. Only kids can't hold their pee. I can hold my pee, and she says she needs to pee in front of so many people. She has no shame."
Alice made a face at Clara, teasing, "Ugly woman, you and that ghost lady from earlier are really good friends."
Alice was originally very angry.
This was Marcus's house, and Felix and the fierce Sierra were here too.
This was also her home.
Since it was her home, it was naturally her parents' home too.
But today, she had dressed up so nicely with Elizabeth and Alexander to come to her own home. Before even entering, she had already encountered the ghost-like Elodie, which was disgusting enough for her. After entering, she met Clara, who had tried to become her stepmother last time. Alice felt that the last prank on Clara wasn't enough, and now Clara was here to cause trouble again.
Alice was so angry she wanted to pounce on Clara and bite her.
But Elizabeth and Alexander intervened.
Although Alice was young and only in kindergarten, she was very sensible: when adults were talking, she couldn't interrupt.
However, Alice was secretly happy.
There was another reason she didn't interrupt, and the reason was that Elizabeth and Alexander were both very eloquent.
They never lost in arguments.
If they didn't lose, Alice didn't need to step in herself, just needing to enjoy the show.
Sure enough, this ugly Clara was even uglier than last time. Alice really wanted to take another ugly photo of Clara to look at later.
After laughing, Alice's eyes searched for Gavin's figure.
She found that Gavin was right behind her.
He was with Julia, secretly taking photos.
Alice was relieved, turning back to continue watching Clara, to see if Clara would really wet herself on the spot.
She only saw Declan in front, so angry that he picked up a teacup and threw it at Clara, shouting, "How did I end up with a granddaughter like you! Shut up!"
Clara was silent.
On this side, Declan had lost his dignity, calling out, "Alexander."
Alexander interrupted Declan again, calmly and indifferently saying, "Grandpa Jones, you misunderstood me. I'm not disrespecting you. I'm saying I won't trouble the Guise Family today."
Declan was silent.
"Because today is a good day for my family to visit the old house and meet relatives and friends. Why should I add trouble on such a joyous day? Besides, there's something I need to clarify. So that Miss Guise won't misunderstand me again. It's not a big deal if Miss Guise misunderstands me, but I can't explain it to my wife. Everyone knows I'm usually afraid of my wife, and I'm very afraid of the misunderstanding of her."
This time, it was Julia who laughed.
Julia wasn't as afraid of Alexander anymore.
Maybe it was because she was used to being with Elizabeth every day.
Not far away, Harper, holding Robert's arm, also covered her mouth and laughed.
Robert said to Harper, "How about that? You've never seen Alexander so gentle and humorous, have you?"
Harper nodded, "No, I haven't.."
She suddenly said, "No, I haven't really seen Mr. Windsor. I don't know what he's like. I've only heard from others that he's a ruthless person, but now it seems different. He actually admitted he's afraid of his wife."
Elodie's tone was full of envy.
"What? Envious that Elizabeth has such a gentle husband?" Robert asked.
Harper nodded sadly, "Who wouldn't want a husband who cares about them?"
"Don't worry! I'll do better than Alexander!" Robert said.
Harper was silent.
She liked Robert, but she was increasingly afraid to think she could marry him.
Right now, standing in the classical and luxurious Windsor Manor, Harper originally wanted to tour the most powerful family's mansion in Sunwillow City, but here she saw Elizabeth being ostracized and suppressed.
Last time, when Molly and others suppressed Elizabeth, Harper wasn't there, but just hearing about it made her feel guilty.
This time, seeing it with her own eyes, Harper, who had become friends with Elizabeth, suddenly had a thought of retreating.
Although wealthy families had money, she just wanted to live a stable life.
At this moment, she finally understood why Elizabeth always said, "I just want a stable job, to work well, and be self-reliant," when Harper used to trouble her.
Now, Harper understood the importance of this sentence, which also made her admire Elizabeth even more.
Life should be like this!
Working well and being self-reliant was much more dignified and free than clinging to wealth.
So, Harper softly said to Robert, "I hope Mr. Lavien quickly meets a girl who can make you as good as Mr. Windsor."
Robert asked, "What did you say?"
Harper whispered even lower, "Nothing."
At this moment, Luca, who had just gone out, came in, saying, "Mr. Windsor, the delivery rider is here, and he has someone with him."
Alexander replied, "Let them in directly."
Everyone in the hall wanted to know why this rider was here and what had made Alexander pay so much attention to him. They all looked towards the hall entrance, where two people walked in, one a young boy in biker gear, presumably the rider. The other was a woman in a uniform-like outfit.
She held a delicate box in her hands, smiling as she approached Alexander and Elizabeth, respectfully saying, "Mr. Windsor, the custom-made natural crystal shoes to match Mrs. Windsor's dress are ready. Please sit down, and I'll help you put them on."
Elizabeth was stunned, knowing Alexander insisted on custom-making a pair of shoes for her.
But she never expected Alexander to order crystal shoes.
Alexander took the shoe box and gently said to Elizabeth, "Sit down; I'll put the shoes on for you."
