Chapter 354 Darling, I'll Reward You When We Get Home
Gavin nodded solemnly, "Yes."
Alexander said expressionlessly, "Don't tell Elizabeth yet."
"I understand, Mr. Windsor. But Mrs. Windsor mentioned a few days ago that she wanted to go back to her hometown, and now..."
"She hasn't been back in many years. It's time for her to visit. I'll go with her; maybe we can find some clues."
"Yes, Mr. Windsor! I'll head out now."
Although Julia was attending the banquet, Gavin still felt that as an assistant, he shouldn't stay in the banquet hall.
After Gavin left, Elizabeth asked Alexander, "What happened?"
Alexander remained silent.
After a second, he said to Elizabeth, "I had Gavin give Declan and Simon a ride. Gavin just came back to tell me that Simon didn't want him to continue. Simon will safely take his grandfather home."
Elizabeth was silent.
"Do you hate him?" Alexander asked.
Elizabeth shrugged, "Not anymore. I think he's quite pitiful at his age, but who he considers his granddaughter is his business. It has nothing to do with me anymore."
Elizabeth never cared for affection that had to be begged for.
To her, besides Samuel, Alice, and Alexander, there was no fourth family member in this world.
Elizabeth didn't want to think about these trivial matters anymore.
The storm had passed, and now it was their family's banquet where they were the main characters.
Since she was the main character, she should do what the main character should do.
She was polite and well-mannered. She linked arms with Alexander, holding a wine glass together, with their playful and adorable daughter Alice following behind. Such a family of three made everyone envious wherever they went.
Moreover, Alice was particularly good at socializing.
She was simply a social butterfly.
"Miss, do you think my mom is prettier, or am I prettier?" Alice asked a female guest, her eyes twinkling.
The female guest answered without hesitation, "Of course, you're prettier. You're much prettier than your mom."
The guest thought this would make Alice happy.
But Alice was an unconventional child. Hearing the guest praise her, she immediately jumped up angrily, hands on her hips.
Her hands-on-hips stance was even more vivid than Clara's arrogant demeanor half an hour ago.
"Who said I'm prettier than my mom? My mom is clearly the prettiest, okay?"
The guest was silent.
Was there really such a thoughtful daughter in the world?
She wanted a daughter like this!
"Miss Windsor, you see, if I say your mom is prettier and not you, I'm afraid you'll trick me with a hard candy and I'll break my teeth. So I don't dare say the truth. But in my heart, your mom is indeed prettier," the guest quickly adapted.
This made Alice happy. She raised her chin and asked joyfully, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course, it's the truth! Your mom is the most beautiful woman here today." The female guest was indeed sincere.
She had just been discussing Elizabeth with another guest she knew.
They found that Elizabeth was naturally model-like.
Take the expensive dress Clara was wearing, for example. Although it was adorned with many diamonds, it didn't suit Clara at all. The dress was too tight, making the flesh around Clara's waist look like an unflattering swimming ring, giving her a tacky appearance.
Besides, Clara didn't exude any sense of nobility, elegance, or beauty.
But everyone could see that if the dress's hemline were longer, it would look stunning on Elizabeth.
As Alexander said, that dress was originally Elizabeth's.
It fit Elizabeth perfectly and looked beautiful, while on Clara, it was simply self-humiliating.
However, the minimalist dress Elizabeth was wearing was also more beautiful than any other woman's dress at the event.
This showed that Elizabeth indeed had a model-like figure.
She looked good in anything.
The female guest wasn't lying.
Alice was happy, "Miss, here's a candy for you."
She stood on tiptoe, wanting to personally feed the candy to the guest.
The guest instinctively asked, "Miss Windsor, is this candy soft or hard?"
Alice smiled mischievously, "The outside is hard, but the inside is very soft."
The guest was determined not to be fooled.
She carefully put the candy in her mouth and cautiously bit down, "It really is soft and sweet."
"I didn't lie to you, did I, miss?" Alice smiled proudly.
Guest said, "Yes. Very sweet."
At this family banquet, Elizabeth's family continuously displayed their love and sweetness.
Although there were some hiccups at the beginning, it ended very well.
This family banquet made the high society of Sunwillow City see Elizabeth in a new light.
By the end of the day, Elizabeth felt very satisfied.
It was Alexander who made her the leading lady.
It was Alexander who, in front of so many people, knelt on one knee to put shoes on her.
Such a scene, Elizabeth might never forget in her lifetime.
That day, her heart was filled with unprecedented sweetness.
She even thought from time to time that when they got home at night, she would use all her tenderness to reward her husband.
In the afternoon, after the guests had left.
Amara held Elizabeth's hand for a long time, unwilling to let go. She earnestly pleaded, "Elizabeth, why don't you three move back in? There are many servants at home, and it would be easier to take care of you."
Elizabeth was silent, because she couldn't make the decision.
In her heart, she didn't really want to live in the old house. After all, it was too far from her workplace, making it inconvenient for her to go to work.
And it would also be inconvenient for Alice to go to kindergarten.
But Elizabeth smiled and said, "Grandma, I actually want to live with you, but..."
Halfway through her sentence, she turned her face, looking mischievously and playfully at Alexander.
She wanted to throw this difficult question to Alexander.
After all, Amara was his grandmother.
Alexander's expression was calm, "Grandma, if you want to see Alice and Elizabeth every day, then you should come live with us."
Elizabeth couldn't help but laugh.
Amara said, "Alright, but you must visit often. Don't wait four weeks to come. I'll miss you."
Elizabeth nodded, "We will definitely visit often."
Even though Felix and Sierra still didn't like them much, Elizabeth decided to visit Amara often in the future.
In the evening, as Elizabeth's family of three returned home from the old house, Alice had already fallen asleep, and Elizabeth was also very tired.
After getting in the car, Elizabeth leaned her head on Alexander's shoulder, "Darling, I'll reward you when we get home."
Alexander looked utterly flattered.
