Two consecutive "click-clack", which was the sound of the double secret lock of the security door being opened.
Lita didn't look back. She was still sitting on the floor next to the glass wall with her knees curled up. She quietly looked at the neon lights flowing outside, like a broken rag doll without any breath. She was just quiet and quiet.
Alex walked in slowly and his footstep, neither too light nor too heavy, reminded the woman of his arrival.
It should have been a sound that Lita could hear, but she did not turn her head.
Alex saw that there were three portions of food on the side table. One was supposed to be rice porridge and sweet potatocake in the morning. The other two portions were supposed to be at noon and evening. The three portions had not touched chopsticks. In other words, the woman had not eaten anything all day.
Alex's eyes sank. He moved to the petite body leaning against the glass wall and said in a low voice, "What, are you going to make a hunger strike or protest?"
"I don't eat, but I can save your Selmy family's food. That's great!"
Lita still didn't turn around, because she didn't want to look at the man behind her anymore. She felt a dull pain in her heart, and it was so painful that Lita couldn't breathe.
Alex curled up his fingers to test the temperature of the lunch and dinner. He took the plates, which were still warm, from the top of the tea table and walked toward the snow on the glass wall.
"Our Selmy Family doesn't lack the food saved by you." Alex answered in a low voice.
Squatting down to his tall and straight posture, he sat on the floor next to the glass wall together with Lita. He picked up a chopstick of Lita's favorite Roman Lily and fed it to her mouth. "Come, open your mouth."
Lita's body shook violently. Perhaps she had never thought that Alex would feed her anything.
However, endless humiliation hit him.
Especially Alex was so ruthless that he beat Austin to spit blood. Lita really hated this man! He took advantage of her and made fun of her. She had never respected him. But how could he beat the innocent Austin with him? Who gave him such an arrogant rage? Did he treat other people's lives like dirt?
"I can't afford to eat your family's stuff! I don't want to eat either! Take it away!" Lita didn't want to argue with the man. Her pale face, which was shrouded in sadness, made her especially pitiful.
"How can't you afford it? Even I, the second young master of the wealthy family, have eaten it... How can't you afford a bowl of rice?"
Alex spoke in a relaxed voice. It sounded like he was comforting Lita who had been hurt. But when he carefully thought about it, Lita's face and ears turned red, and her teeth itched so much that she really wanted to bite him.
"..." Lita was speechless. Her heart had already turned into a desolate desert, and she could no longer summon up the courage to argue with the man.
After feeding the celery Lily to Lita's lips again, Lita just turned her head away. How could she eat the food fed by a man?
"What the hell is this? Beat him hard and then give him a piece of candy?"
"Ha ha don't eat the celery lily. It's a pity that you don't want to eat it." Alex said with a slightly evil tone.
Otto, the stupid and adorable Husky raised by the Selmy Family.
Seeing that Lita still wasn't willing to eat, Alex took the celery Lily from his chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
"Alex, you locked me. Why don't you even let go of an outsider? What did Austin do to you? Did you beat him like that? Just because he is a friend know, do you beat him so hard?"
Snow was furious, so she scolded the man for his violent behavior just now.
Alex did not like to eat Western celery Lily. It was not because he could not stand the bitterness of it, but because he was not used to the faint medicinal taste of Western celery.
After eating the celery Lily, Alex said calmly,
"Do you believe me if I say I'm jealous?"
"This sentence made Lyita speechless.
What did he mean by "jealous"? Why did he, Alex, feel jealous? He was Ethan's wife. Why was he jealous?
"An excuse! No matter what kind of excuse you make up, it won't be enough to make up for your violent behavior!" Lita coldly chided.
"So you don't believe me, either... it just so happens that don't believe you, either!" Alex gave a faint smile, his smile so secretive that it was as if it was deep.
Lita glared at Alex angrily. The man was so careless and lazy, which really made Lita angry.
"Aren't you going to go downstairs with me to have something?" Seeing that the woman did not look at him at all, Alex muttered.
Lita didn't want to pay attention to this moody man!
"So you don't want to go to school tomorrow!" Alex stood up gracefully. "Then I won't bother you to stay in the sunshine room to reflect!"
As soon as Lita heard that she was going to school, she immediately stood up and rolled from the ground to rush to the door of the sunshine room as if she had been injected with chicken blood.
Most likely, his speed was only a few seconds slower than that of Bost's.
Looking at her young and energetic back, which was as lovely as the sunshine, Alex's lips curved into a smile.
Perhaps it was because the movement when she got up was too fierce, plus she hadn't eaten anything for a day. Lita ran a few steps, and when she rushed to the door, she was already teetering.
Alex's eyes were sharp and his hands were nimble. He immediately held the woman in his arms.
Lita struggled symbolically for a while, but her body was really fatigued. A fit of dizziness hit her and she almost fainted.
"With your physique, you're going to go on a hunger strike? won't let you starve!" Alex picked up the woman who was so hungry that she was on the verge of collapse. He walked downstairs at a steady pace.
The victory of the youth was Lita after drinking a bowl of the Red Date Lotus Seeds Soup. Slowly, one's spirit and blood began to recover.
Alex was sitting by the side. He seemed to be accompanying him, but also seemed to be supervising him.
Lita ate very slowly, and occasionally she cast a small glance at Alex. Obviously, she was still angry with a man. She didn't even care about locking her up, but she even got others beaten because of it. Moreover, it was for no reason.
"What's wrong? Are you still unhappy with me because I hit that nerd?" Alez asked loudly.
"Then don't you think that you should apologize to me and at the same time apologize to Austin?" Lita asked in reply.
He knew that men's moods were unstable, but at least Alex's mood could still be considered to be calm. That was why Lita had tried to reason with him.
"A bookworm came to my house to chat with Mrs. Selmy with a bouquet of roses in the middle of the night. Is he still a man if I don't beat him?"
Alex seemed to be quite patient tonight. He had always adhered to the gentlemanly manner of "a gentleman does not move when he opens his mouth."
Rose? Austin took the rose? What was he doing? Hadn't he already broken up with him?
"I don't care whether he's a 'romantic', or 'as beautiful as the Kingdom of Dawn', I only know that you're the wife of the Selmy Family, so I have to abide by her three obediences and four virtues. If he dares to covet the madam of the Selmy Family again, I'll beat him up! I'll beat him up until he doesn't dare to covet the wife of the Selmy Family!" Alex said coldly.
Lita fell silent.
After a moment, she raised her head again and met Alex's sharp gaze. She said righteously, "What about you? You want me to abide by Mrs. Selmy's three obediences and four virtues? What have you done to me?"
"Everything I've done to you is right and proper! It's a marriage of convenience, and then I'll abide by the law!" Alex answered casually.
"You belittled my sister-in-law. How can you consider it legal? Alex, the law was decided by yourself, wasn't it?"
Lita felt like talking to Alex about the law was like telling a lion: Eat some vegetables, it's good for your health!
Seeing that the woman's little face became ruddy because of food supply, Alex's knitted brows relaxed a little. However, the woman's eloquence made him frown again.
Why was this woman so arrogant in front of him like a wild cat? Wasn't it better to be obedient? Wasn't it better to be gentler?
"You can go to school, but you must have a clean break with Austin! If I find out that you still dare to whisper sweet nothings to each other, I will fight with him every time I see you. Maybe you don't have to bother. Throw him directly into the prison and let him accompany the wolves and tigers to appreciate chrysanthemums every day. Isn't it more convenient?"
Alex drank a mouthful of the Sedative Fruit Milk that Ann had brought to him and spoke in a leisurely but cold voice.
"I will abide by my duty as a wife! But I ask you, Alex, to abide by my duty as a little brother-in-law!" Lita warned.
In this situation, how could she still be called "little brother-in-law"? What a stupid and naive woman!
Her IQ was so high that it made people anxious!
"But why can't I control myself when I am deep in the vortex of teasing her? It seems that if I don't tease her every day, always feel that there is something missing in this day."
He was also a woman. Yen gave people a feeling of depression and cruelty. But when he was with the woman in front of him, whether it was a monotonous quarrel or a real fight, it made him so energetic that he was addicted!
"Let's both take a step back. I'll let you go to school, and you must move back to your home tonight." It was a statement without question.
Since she had said the last statement in an overbearing manner, why did she have to pretend that she was going to discuss it with her?
Lita agreed. As long as she could go to school, everything else was negotiable. Besides, she was Ethan's 'wife', so it was natural for her to stay in Selmy Family every day. Besides, she couldn't ignore Ethan's illness and body condition for a long time.
"Alex, I've been locked up by you for a day today. So what?" Lita didn't want to be humiliated for nothing.
"Then how do you plan to deal with it? Do you want to bite me or lock me?" Alex asked in a melodious voice.
"No need! I'm not as abnormal as you are! I only wish for you to respect me! Treat me as a person, a sister-in-law, and also respect your big brother." Lita once again tried to correct Alex's relationship with him.
"Do you think you're no longer human after being locked up for just one day? I've been locked up in the sunshine room by my so- called father since I was five or six years old, and it's common for me to be hungry for two or three days."
Alex twitched his lips and smiled, but his handsome face was full of poison that could not be wiped away.
Lita was really shocked. She didn't expect such a proud and evil man like Alex to have such a miserable childhood.
But he could still talk about this miserable experience in such a jovial way.
