Chapter 356 A Perfect Place to Escape
That night, it was destined that Alexander would punish Elizabeth.
Though it was called punishment, he always gave her more.
In the end, even Alexander himself didn't know if he was punishing her, or if she was punishing him.
Or was he trying to reward her in every possible way?
"Let me carry you for a bath," he asked her gently.
"No! I already took one."
Alexander was silent.
After a few seconds, he said, "Be good; I haven't bathed yet."
"No way!" She hadn't had enough.
Alexander said, "You forgot that you promised Julia and Harper at the party that you would take Alice and go shopping with them tomorrow. You also promised them that you would pay for them. If you keep being so indulgent, you won't be able to walk tomorrow. Be good."
She was silent, angrily biting his shoulder.
However, she couldn't bear to bite hard.
In the end, he still carried her to the bath.
She was so tired that she didn't want to open her eyes.
Alexander couldn't help but scold her, "Can't I handle you!"
Elizabeth was silent.
"Turn around!" Alexander ordered.
"No strength."
"I'll massage you to help you relax!"
Only then did she turn around.
Suddenly, she smiled, her face full of happiness.
"Alexander."
She rarely called his name so gently and spoke to him at all.
Calling him like this gave him a different feeling.
"I'm here."
"Six years ago, the second week I met you, I fell in love with you."
"I know."
"I've always wanted to marry you."
"I know."
"I didn't dare, because I thought I had someone else's child."
"I know."
"I didn't find out that I was pregnant with your child until your wedding day. And I didn't mean to ruin your wedding. I wanted to marry you and wanted my child to have a complete family. I love you, but I never dared to tell you. Because I was afraid that if I told you, I would be even more miserable."
Alexander suddenly choked up.
After a long while, he held her head straight, pressing his chin against her head, and said to her word by word, "From now on, you are my life. You and Alice are my life."
She had already fallen asleep.
The last thing she asked was, "Do you love me, Alexander?"
"I hate you!" Alexander smiled.
Even though it wasn't a declaration of love, she felt incredibly sweet, falling asleep sweetly in his arms.
Alexander rarely saw her sleep so sweetly.
He was so mesmerized by the sight, leaning down and giving her a heavy kiss on the forehead.
She mumbled, "Honey, stop it; hurry up and wash my feet."
Alexander was silent.
Was she dreaming that he was washing her feet?
She really knew how to enjoy herself.
Alexander couldn't help but chuckle, "You're so good!"
He took a blanket and wrapped it around both of them, then picked up his phone and took a warm photo. This photo instantly appeared on the official Twitter of the Windsor Group.
The caption read: [Good night.]
A photo and a sentence reflected Alexander's happiness.
It was Elizabeth and Alice who brought him happiness.
Making them happy was also his lifelong mission.
That night, many night owls witnessed the happiness of the Windsor Group's president, Alexander.
That night, some people blessed them, while others cursed them.
At this moment, while Alexander was happily falling asleep with Elizabeth in his arms, the Guise Family was cursing them.
They stayed up all night.
To be precise, Oliver, Lila, and Clara had been restless ever since they were kicked out of the Windsor Manor and returned to the Guise Villa.
As soon as they got home, Lila lashed out at Oliver, "You damn fool! Did you go soft on Elizabeth at the party?"
Oliver glared at Lila, saying, "Shouldn't I go soft on her? Look at what you and your daughter have done; you've lost all your dignity!"
After saying that, he kicked the still tear-streaked Clara, "Look at you! You actually said you wanted to pee in front of everyone! Why don't you just die! Go to hell! I don't have a daughter like you! You weren't even my biological daughter; you were..."
Before Oliver could finish, Clara knelt in front of him, "Dad, no matter how many mistakes I've made, you watched me grow up from birth. Dad! I'm your daughter! Elizabeth only came to you when she was twelve, and she never called you Dad. Today at the party, you were so humiliated, and she didn't pity you at all. She only has hatred for you! Dad!"
Clara cried bitterly.
Oliver's heart softened immediately. After all, Clara was the child he had raised from birth.
Clara was right; Elizabeth only had hatred for him, and that hatred was deep.
"Dad, let's run away," Clara suggested, looking up at Oliver.
Oliver and Lila were silent.
At this moment, among the three of them, Clara was the calmest.
The humiliation she suffered today was too great, and it made Clara realize one thing: Alexander would never marry her in this lifetime.
Not only that, with Alexander's temperament, he wouldn't let her live.
After all, six years ago, she had impersonated Elizabeth.
She had made Elizabeth flee for six years, having hunted her for six years.
Those were secondary.
The main thing was, that she had been pregnant with someone else's child but claimed it was Alexander's, and almost married him.
All of this was enough for him to kill the three of them.
Moreover, today, the three of them had caused trouble at the party where Alexander introduced Elizabeth to his friends and family.
Oliver and Lila looked at Clara, and Clara nodded heavily, "Dad, with Alexander's temperament, he won't spare us. If we stay here, we will die. Declan can't protect us because Alexander doesn't need his help. So we can only run now."
"Run?" Oliver laughed bitterly, "Where can we run to? Elizabeth ran for six years, to such a remote place, and we still found her. In the end, Alexander captured her alive. Where can we run to?"
Clara sneered, "Dad, I have a perfect place in mind. It can save us and also destroy Alexander and Elizabeth."
