Like most women, Lita was also eager to be collected, placed properly, and carefully preserved. She wished she wouldn't be scared, homeless and stranded anymore. She was waiting for a person who could take her hand and share a part of her voyage of life.
That night, a knight with a blurred face appeared in Lita dream. She could not see his face clearly, but only saw that he was a strong man. She wanted to know who he was, as he took care of her, but he disappeared in a void in the end.
When Lita woke up, she found herself cuddle up against somebody's chest. A strong arm was wrapped around her waist and the palm covered her stomach. Perhaps because of the warmth of the palm that she didn't have cramps in her stomach the whole night. Could this be possible?
It was a healthy and strong arm, with tight and elastic muscles. Lita panicked inexplicably, because this healthy arm was definitely not Ethan's, whose arms were full of horrible burn scars.
Whose arm would it be? If it wasn't Ethan, then it could only be Alex's.
Alex? Lita was so scared that she held her breath. She immediately woke up from her sweet dream.
Looking back, it was indeed that man! God, when did he come to sleep in her bed? Didn't she leave the big bedroom upstairs for him? Why would he still pester her? Lita was really speechless!
The man was deeply asleep. His long eyelashes drooped, and his thin lips were of light color. His face was handsome and attractive. He was not as cold and arrogant as he was in the daytime, instead he was showing a soft side of his.
Lita did not dare to move rashly, for fear of disturbing the man's good dream. She carefully held the man's arm that was wrapped around her waist and moved it away from her body bit by bit...
However, she had just moved the man's arm away from her abdomen, the man in sleep made an unsatisfied groan. Lita stopped her motion immediately and waited for the man to get back to deep sleep. But things went contrary to her wish, the man's hand went up along her body. In an instant, it had reached the softest part of her body and squeezed it between his fingers.
Lita was so angry that she gnashed her teeth in anger. 'This man's movements are so smooth and skilled. Presumably, if there aren't a full truck of women who have been taken advantage of by him, there should be at least a full car. What a b*stard!"
Lita wished she could cut his hand off with a knife.
Lita was so angry that she couldn't even breathe, but she still held back her anger and tried not to wake up the man. The man's skin was as thick as a rhinoceros'. The only person who would be embarrassed was Lita herself. If she argued with him, everyone in this house would take his side. No one would care about the justice.
Lita thought if she couldn't move this man's arm away in next try, then she would definitely bite it. Last time, she bit his chest, leaving only two rows of teeth marks. This time, she was sure that she would bite a piece of his flesh, so that he would remember that he couldn't molest her.
To Lita's surprise, this time, the man's arm was easily removed by her.
So in the next second, Lita climbed down from the bed, rushed into the bathroom to calm herself down.
After taking a few deep breaths, Lita felt that the part of her body, which had just been pinched by the man, hurt faintly. What a shameless and barbaric man!
How could she be molested by him again? Lita felt that she couldn't live along in this family.
When Lita got out of the bathroom, the man in the bed was still asleep, and he stretched out his body freely. The thin blanket only covered up to the man's waist, revealing his sun-tanned muscular chest. Lita took a brief glance at him and hurriedly ran out of the guest room.
"Mrs. Selmy, have a cup of honey water first. Your small potato cakes will be ready soon." Alice saw Alex walk into Lita's room last night and haven't come out for a whole night. So she smiled broadly when she saw Lita this morning.
"Alice, can you call a locksmith to help me change the lock of the guest room?" Lita knew that Alex was a lord in this family and she had given up the imbecile action of complaining about him to others. She could only use her own wits to deal with him.
"Change the lock? Why do you want to change the lock?" Alice asked puzzled. Maybe she just pretended to be puzzled.
Lita was embarrassed. Alex's behavior was rude, and she was forced to take this action. She couldn't complain to Ethan either. In fact, Lita was very puzzled herself sometimes. Since Alex respected and cared so much about Ethan who sacrificed his health for him, how could he treat his wife like that? Didn't he know that disrespecting his brother's wife was the same as disrespecting his brother? It made no sense at all.
What's more, how could Alex lack women? As long as he was willing, with a wave of his hand, hundreds of women would throw themselves at him and fight to get into his bed.
Lita couldn't understand why Alex would molest her. It made no sense to her.
"Because...Alex...he accidentally...went to my room by mistake. I've locked the door, but for reasons I don't know he could open it. Alice, please do me a favor. Please help me change the lock," Lita prevaricated.
He went to your room by mistake? To which woman's room do you expect him to go if he doesn't go to your room?' Alice sighed slightly. It was not the right time to reveal Alex's secret, so she didn't dare to tell her Alex's scheme of testing his wife. In case Alex got angry, Lita's situation would be more miserable.
"Okay, I'll ask Harry to change the lock later," Alice agreed promptly.
"Thank you, Alice." Lita smiled at her sweetly.
At Bishop family.
Since the morning, the preparation was in full swing. A luxurious and tasteful feast was prepared for Alex alone.
"Mom, make some mango pastries. Don't make them too sweet," said Bella, after making an inspection tour in the kitchen.
Maria froze. "You're still talking about making mango pastries? Didn't you know that Chloe came back from the Selmy house yesterday crying her heart out? Alex didn't like mango pastries at all! I didn't expect that Lita would dare to lie to me!"
"But I bet that Alex likes them very much." Bella smiled enigmatically.
Jack made a call to Lita from time to time, which made Lita restless too. If he was so eager to see Alex, why wouldn't he call Alex directly. What was the point of calling her repeatedly?
She watched Alex go upstairs to check on Ethan and then walk towards the front door as if he was going out. She couldn't help but rush up and grabbed his arm nervously...
