Chapter 1018
Elizabeth looked at Alexander, her eyes first filled with astonishment and disbelief. Then a hint of a smile flashed across her face, and she couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.
Elizabeth raised her hand and placed the back of it on Alexander's forehead.
"Alexander, where's your self-respect?" Elizabeth tapped Alexander's forehead.
Alexander frowned. What was self-respect? Could it help him win her back?
If she wanted to hear it, then let her hear it. Women just needed a bit of coaxing.
"Gone." Alexander spread his hands, looking completely shameless.
Elizabeth was amused, "Stop fooling around, get to work!"
Alexander nodded, "Alright, alright, I'll get to work right away."
As Elizabeth watched Alexander's busy figure, a ripple of emotion stirred in her heart.
In the living room, Natalia was eating and observing the two people outside the window, clicking her tongue in disapproval.
"Elizabeth is really clueless. She's so beautiful and capable, what kind of man can't she date?"
Although Natalia admitted that Alexander was indeed handsome, capable, and flawless, the key issue was, he had hurt Elizabeth before!
Natalia was angry.
But if Elizabeth could be happy, Natalia could accept Alexander.
"Natalia, what are you looking at?" Charles walked over, holding an orange, about to take a bite.
Following Natalia's gaze, he saw Elizabeth helping Alexander.
"Elizabeth and Alexander are a perfect match." Charles sighed.
"Elizabeth used to have a fiery temper, and Alexander is more stable. They complement each other well." Charles ate an orange.
Natalia couldn't help but say, "Elizabeth did have a bad temper before. It's strange, neither of her parents have such a bad temper."
"Exactly, Elizabeth is not like them. Maybe her biological parents." Charles suddenly stopped talking.
Natalia looked at Charles, what?
Charles realized he had almost let something slip. He almost said that maybe Elizabeth's biological parents had such a bad temper.
He touched his forehead and said guiltily, "It's just a genetic mutation from her biological parents."
After saying that, Charles went back to the kitchen.
Natalia frowned, looking at Charles, she felt something was off.
"Dad, our temper is not like that!" Natalia said.
Charles thought, 'Of course not, you are not biological!'
But they were becoming more and more alike now!
Natalia looked out the window again, Elizabeth was bending down to pick something up.
What was Charles about to say?
She felt like there was more to Charles' words.
Natalia sighed, resting her face on her hand, feeling troubled.
Elizabeth and Alexander finished their work and came back inside, both of their hands were frozen stiff.
Seeing Elizabeth return, Natalia eagerly went over and said, "Elizabeth, let me warm your hands."
Elizabeth looked at Natalia in surprise.
Natalia's hands were warm, and soon Elizabeth's hands were warmed up.
Elizabeth asked, "Do you need something from me?"
"Why do you say that? Do I have to need something to be nice to you? Can't I just want to be nice to you?" Natalia huffed, not forgetting to glance at Alexander.
Natalia was just afraid that Alexander would warm Elizabeth's hands and they would have intimate contact!
Elizabeth laughed and said nothing, pouring herself a cup of hot coffee.
As they talked, Charles came out with a drink in his hand and looked at Alexander, "Mr. Tudor, care to join me for a drink tonight?"
"Sure." Alexander stood up and nodded.
Charles said, "You sit, no need to be so formal."
Alexander had to be a bit more formal. It was more endearing that way.
