Chapter 773 Do You Want to Taste Your Toes?
Branden was extremely surprised, "Why don't you feel safe? It's safer at home, with so many people taking care of you and your husband accompanying you..."
"No, a husband is just a decoration, not very useful!" This time, Ivy treated Alexander like air and didn't even give him a glance.
"Ivy, come on, lie down!" Alexander quickly helped Ivy lie down on the sofa, lifted her feet and put them on his lap. "Which toe is itchy? Let me scratch it for you."
"All ten toes are itchy," Ivy pouted.
"Alright then, I'll scratch each one for you." Alexander started from the big toe and earnestly scratched the itchiness.
"You're making it even itchier!" Ivy was not satisfied at all, she retracted her feet and used her fingers to flick her toes. After doing so, she felt much more comfortable.
"I understand now!" Alexander hugged Ivy's feet back and put them on his lap again, flicking Ivy's toes with his fingers one by one.
"Hmm, that's right! It feels so good now, really comfortable..." Ivy said as she drifted happily to sleep.
Alexander gently carried Ivy and placed her on the bed in the bedroom. When he came out, he softly closed the door. In the kitchen, Maria poured a glass of juice for Branden and was about to hand it over when Ethan proactively walked over, saying, "Give it to me, I'll give it to her!"
In the living room, Branden sighed with envy, "You're so lucky, not only did you marry the wealthiest man in ancient Europe, but he also spoils you like a child."
Alexander felt a bit guilty and said, "I'm not as good as you think. Many times, I haven't fulfilled my duty as a husband, and Ivy has suffered because of me!"
Branden pushed his glasses up and said, "Don't be so modest. Just by looking at how you were earlier, I can tell how happy she is. She says her shoulders are sore, and you immediately massage them; she says her waist is sore, and you immediately rub it. She even says her toes are itchy, and although you may not believe it, you still scratch her toes. It must feel very special, right?"
"I don't know..." Alexander wanted to take off his socks and wiggle his toes to see how it feels.
Due to having guests present, he resisted the urge to take off his socks.
Ethan handed over some juice with a smile and said, "Branden, have some juice, freshly squeezed!"
Branden looked up, surprised, and said, "It's you? What are you doing here?"
Ethan quickly introduced himself, "My name is Ethan, Alexander's personal assistant."
Ah, I see! Branden took the juice and enjoyed it with ease.
Ethan stood there silently, quietly observing Branden.
This girl had an ordinary appearance, nearsighted, and short, nothing extraordinary. But because of these similarities with his past self, Ethan felt a resonance in his heart.
The more he looked at Branden, the more pleasing she became to his eyes. He was acutely aware that this was the feeling of falling in love. Even though he had grown up, this was the first time he found himself attracted to a girl.
Alexander noticed Ethan's interest in Branden and brought over a chair, patting Ethan's shoulder, and creating space for the two.
Ethan cautiously sat down on the chair. Being so close to the girl he admired made him extremely nervous. He tried several times to speak up but ultimately swallowed his words.
"Ethan, just say whatever you want to say!" Branden said while sipping her juice.
"In that case, I'll be direct!" Ethan cleared his throat and softly said, "Branden, would you... like to taste the flavor of toes?"
