Snow was imposed in a room that couldn't be imagined: a five or six year old child often locked up in a rain room surrounded by anti- theft webs; just how frightened and horrified would one's heart be. How much psychological trauma would one have to endure?
"You must have been naughty. That's why Father Finn locked you up, right?"
The voice of the inquiry became soft. Lita felt that she was living in her uncle's house. Although she was not well-treated, she was still comfortable in daily life such as eating, living, and so on. Why would Alex suffer such torture from his own father?
He had been starving for two to three days... To a child who was only five or six years old, it was simply a disaster.
Lita believed that what Alex said was true. He was an arrogant and strong man. How could he fake a sad childhood to gain her sympathy? There was no need at all. It should be because he was emotional for a moment.
"The only reason is that I, this illegitimate child, lost face for him!" Alex revealed a faint smile. It was also bitter and unruly.
"Then... don't you care about your big brother Ethan?" Lita thought that they were in such a good relationship. It should be that they had deep affection for each other since they were children.
"When I was only five or six years old, he was only seven or eight years old. And at that time, I was quite repulsive to him. It should be said that I hated and hostile to all the members of the Selmy Family. How could I accept his help? still remember that one day he secretly brought me food, and I actually put them all on my brother's face..."
Alex continued to smile, but this kind of smile inevitably caused Lita's heart to ache.
"You're really naughty. Your brother just wants to help you! He doesn't know how to appreciate people's kindness!" Lita couldn't help scolding Alex.
"That piece of steak was very hot, and it scalded a big piece of my brother's face!! thought my brother would go downstairs to complain about it... But he said, when he stole the steak, he burned it by accident!"
There was a little redness in Alex's firm eyes. He quickly turned his head, closed his eyes tightly for a moment, and then slowly opened them again..
He suddenly realized: No wonder the relationship between the two brothers would be so good. Ethan and Alex, his half-brother, were so good.
Lita admired the deep bond between the two brothers. She also envied the two brothers for being able to fall in love with each other in such a way.
"Your brother is really nice to you."
Actually, at this moment, Lita also wanted to add: Since your brother is so good to you, why do you still flirt with this 'sister-in-law' of hers?
"Therefore, won't let all those who hurt my eldest brother have a good time. I'll make them pay for what they deserve, and I'll make them pay for what they've done!"
Alex's handsome face was immediately covered with gloom.
Ethan took care of his colorful childhood; but he couldn't take care of her life for a long time.
Therefore, even knowing that Ethan was suffering every day, Alex just didn't want to give up his life.
Lita's heart skipped a beat. She really didn't want to see the man in front of her immersed in hatred all the time. It seemed that besides revenge, there was no other sunshine in his life.
Looking in the direction of the medical room, Lita lowered her voice and asked in confusion, "Alex, haven't you found Yen's whereabouts? Your brother cares about her so much. Why didn't he let her see your brother? Maybe he will cooperate with Yen when he sees her. He won't just stay at home and take care of his own life!"
After a slight pause, Lydia spoke out her own thoughts. "For those who like themselves, men should also have the same state of mind. I think, if Yen is willing to take the initiative to persuade your big brother to go to the United States for further skinning surgery, I think that your big brother will definitely go."
Alex had been silently listening to the woman's thoughts. He felt that from a woman's point of view, it seemed that there was indeed a bit of feasibility.
However, his eldest brother, Ethan, had already promised him that he would go to the U.S for further treatment after his 30th birthday. Otherwise, it was also a good way to test this woman.
Seeing Alex staring at him, Lita bit her lip. "Don't worry. I won't be jealous. As long as your brother's condition is better and he can undergo further skin-cutting surgery, I will bless him and bless him that he has a lover with Yen."
Hearing this, Alex frowned. "This little white and sweet woman still thinks that I'm my big brother's wife."
Lovers would eventually belong to each other. Was Yen a match for her? She was one of the masterminds who had participated in the murder of Ethan. She deserved to die!
"Since you have such a weak affection for my brother, why do you insist on seeing him?" Alex asked quietly.
Lita was choked by the man's powerful logic again. Suddenly, she remembered what he said last time, "My brother is a patient and can't meet any of your needs."
It was estimated that only a man with a colorful mind like him would come up with such a reason.
"Take care of your elder brother. Isn't it my duty and obligation to marry into the Selmy Family? Since Alex doesn't trust me and doesn't want me to approach your elder brother, I'll do whatever you want. I'll just live and drink in the Selmy Family. It will save me the trouble."
Lita didn't want to talk about this topic with Alex. Otherwise, this man would think that she had an 'inordinate desire' for her big brother Ethan. Heaven and earth had a conscience. How could she have any inordinate desire for Ethan?
She really couldn't be bothered to argue with someone like Alex!
"I agree with you now. In Selmy Family, you just need to serve me well!" Alex raised his lips and said.
Lita glared fiercely at the arrogant man in front of her. She was so angry that she couldn't even speak.
The living room's landline rang. It was Alice who answered the phone.
After a few words, Alice covered the microphone and asked Alex on the sofa, "Second Young Master, the madam's senior called the police. She is now in the security office with the police. The security captain let you know."
A faint sneer appeared on Alex's handsome face. "Let them in. Tell them that the tea has been brewed and is waiting for them to come in and drink."
Alice was stunned for a moment, and finally replied the captain of the security team according to Alex's instructions.
Hearing that it was a senior, Lita thought of Austin: Why did he still call the police? Did he still think that he hadn't been beaten enough? He sure had a bad temper.
Lita quickly stood up and wanted to go out to persuade Austin.
"Stop!" Just after she took two steps, she heard Alex's stern voice behind her, "Mrs, Selmy, are you going out to see that nerd?"
"I'll persuade him to leave, okay? Please show some respect to the scholar," Lita said. "We, the Selmy Family, don't need you to show your face in public. Your three obediences and four virtue are: Stay at home!" Alex said coldly.
She really had enough of this man's arrogance. Ignoring Alex's overbearing and domineering attitude, Lita ran towards the door of the living room without looking back.
At that time, before Lita could reach out her hand to touch the door handle, her lithe and agile figure reached out and held her firmly in her arms.
When Austin came in with two policemen, he happened to see Lita, who was nestled in Alex's arms.
Being hugged so tightly by Alex, Lita was anxious and shy. She struggled with all her might, but she didn't expect the man's arm to be like a pair of metal pincers. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free.
"Be good, don't flirt with her in front of the police uncle. It's so embarrassing. You can make trouble again when you go back to the room!"
Alex coaxed the disobedient woman in his arms with his indulgent words. His voice was neither loud nor low, enough for Austin to hear.
Lita was ashamed. "Alex, let go of me!"
She tried her best to pull Alex's arms around her waist, but the man was too strong. Lita couldn't move him at all.
The two policemen didn't seem to have thought that the development of the plot would be like this. They didn't know if the couple was hugging and flirting with each other, scolding them in a good-looking way, and not avoiding their attention.
"Mr. Selmy, I'm really sorry for disturbing your rest at such a late hour. But this Mr. Percy insisted that someone was grounded in the sunshine room on the third floor of your villa... We are also doing business." The leading policeman apologized repeatedly.
"Oh, I had a misunderstanding with this Mr. Percy."
Alex glanced at Austin, who was staring at the woman in his arms. He raised his thin lips and said in a gentleman's voice, "I have a bad temper. I happened to meet the roses in Mr. Percy's hands downstairs and beat him impulsively. I will compensate the medical fee for Mr. Percy's injury."
What surprised Lita was that Alex didn't make things difficult for Austin, much less for the police.
"Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, then we won't disturb Mr. Selmy and your family's rest."
The police, who had seen countless people, could tell at a glance that this was a small quarrel between husband and wife. As for Austin, he was just like the third party who was coveting the wife of another man with a rose in hand. Being beaten was also natural. What's more, he had agreed to pay for medical expenses. Naturally, the matter would be minimized.
But Austin didn't intend to leave. He still stared straight at Lita in Alex's arms.
She was obviously married to Ethan. Why I was she so close to this Alex? What was the relationship between them?
It seemed that the relationship between Lita and this man named Alex was not simple!
"Austin, you can go back. I'm fine now. I'm so sorry that you got beaten. The medical expenses will be paid by Selmy Family."
Lita only wanted to persuade Austin to leave. She really couldn't figure out the unstable man, Alex. She didn't know when he would be beaten by Austin who had a beast's heart.
"Lita, it's good that you're alright. As long as you're fine, it's not a big deal for me to be hit a little." Austin's chin and brows still had bruises on them.
"Austin, I'm really sorry..."
Lita coldly felt: Alex's hand, which was circling around her waist, was slowly tightening and tightening, making it difficult for her to breathe.
This was warning.
