"Alex, where are you going? You promised my uncle that you would go to his house to have dinner this evening." Lita was worried that he would leave and she couldn't complete the mission her uncle assigned to her, so she grabbed his arm immediately.
This time, Alex didn't get angry. Instead, he looked inquisitively at Lita who hung on his arm like a koala. His handsome face was cheerful and mischievous.
"What will you do to me if I won't go there?" he asked.
"I've already thrown the box of mango pastries as you wished. You promised me that you would go to the Bishop house to have dinner. Alex, you can't break your promise to a woman!"
Lita didn't know what her uncle and aunt would think of her if she couldn't complete her mission. She had told them that she was of no importance in Selmy family, but they wouldn't believe her. They would think that she was ungrateful as soon as she married into a rich family.
"Alex, it's just a dinner. You can't let my uncle lose face." As for the investment in Jack's Group, Lita didn't care as it was beyond her control.
"Beg me coquettishly," Alex used his shapely fingers to lift her delicate chin and stared deeply into Lita eyes. There was tenderness and affection in his eyes.
She froze for a moment, as if she was entranced and spellbound by the man's action.
However, she snapped back to reality soon and hit Alex's hand that held her chin. "Don't go then. When Ethan gets better, I will go him to apologize to my uncle." with
How could she act coquettishly in front of her husband's brother? She couldn't be humiliated like this. Moreover, Alex was obviously teasing her. She would be seeking humiliation if she believed him. Anyway, she had sent his uncle's message to him, so she had already completed the task. If her uncle wanted to criticize or blame her, she didn't mind.
"Why should we bother my brother with such a trivial thing? Let's go to the Bishop house to have dinner together," said Alex and walked ahead.
To tell the truth, Lita wanted to refuse at first thought. She didn't want to go to Bishop family, and she didn't want to face Chloe who misunderstood her last night. She knew that if she went there, they wouldn't be nice to her. At least Chloe would make a sour face.
But he had agreed to go to have dinner, if she wouldn't go, she would probably mess up the matter.
So Lita forced herself to chase him up and get into his ostentatious Ferrari.
The sports car sped off like an arrow shooting out, and they were almost like flying.
The speed made Lita's stomach churn and she was so dizzy that she felt like she was going to vomit. But she clenched her teeth and endured, wouldn't open her mouth to ask him to slow down. After all, his life was more precious than hers. If they had an accident, she wouldn't feel lonely on her way to heaven.
A mysterious smile appeared on Alex's thin lips. This woman is really stubborn. Her face was deadly pale because of scare, but she still wouldn't beg me to slow down!
'She is an interesting woman."
The whole house of Bishop family was lit up brightly.
In order to welcome Alex, they had done pretty much everything, stopping only short of hanging lanterns on the front gate. Jack led his wife and two daughters to wait for Alex's arrival in the courtyard. In Jacks words, Alex would be a gold mine for Bishop family. In any case, he had to make sure Alex would marry one of his daughters.
Fortunately, Chloe wasn't in the line who welcomed Alex and Lita, which avoided making Lita embarrassed.
"Welcome, Mr. Alex. It's our honor to have you here," Jack greeted him, shook hands and exchanged some pleasantries with him respectfully.
The pretty and smart Bella stepped forward and held Lita's arm, as if they were two close sisters. They walked into the house chatting and laughing at the same time. Bella knew that if she wanted to marry Alex, Lita was undoubtedly the stepping stone.
Lita was Ethan's wife and Ethan was Alex's brother. Alex respected his brother, so he must care about the feelings of his brother and his brother's wife. Being enthusiastic to Lita would pave the way for her plan to marry into Selmy family.
What Bella didn't know was that the marriage Selmy family proposed to the girls of Bishop family earlier, though was in Ethan's name, the person who actually got married was Alex, this charming man in front her who she was now missing every day and night.
Lita failed to see Chloe in the living room, so she explained to the more reasonable Bella, "Bella, how is Chloe? I didn't lie to you about Alex's favorite food. It was Alex who deliberately..."
"Lita, you don't have to explain. Of course I know what happened," Bella smiled gracefully. "Chloe must have said something she wasn't supposed to said or have done something she shouldn't have done that she made Alex angry. You know, Chloe is willful and unruly. It's inevitable that she would offend Alex."
Lita didn't expect that Bella understood her immediately. She was moved for a moment. At least, she didn't have to spend so much effort to explain it now.
"Where's Chloe? Why isn't she here?" Lita was still worried about Chloe, who had been treated rudely by Alex. After all, Chloe was the person who was domineering in Bishop family.
"She said that she was not feeling well and didn't want to go downstairs. Lita, you don't have to worry about her. Come to the kitchen to help me with the dishes. I don't know what kinds of food Alex likes." Bella led Lita straight to the kitchen.
So Jack, Maria and their 17-year-old youngest daughter Eva sat down at the dinning table with Alex.
Eva felt the aura of Alex, listened attentively every word he said and watched greedily every motion he made. She was surprised that there was such a perfect man in this world. He was talented, good-looking and gentlemanly. A perfect man was now sitting in front of her and his name was Alex. Her desire for love was awakened for the first time and she was overwhelmed by her feelings.
"Come, Alex, try this abalone broth. Bella started to prepare it this morning." Maria also put on a warm smile and helped Alex get the abalone broth into his bowl, while praising her daughter Bella at the same time.
However, Alex frowned slightly. He looked around and after he couldn't see the sight of Lita, his handsome face darkened deeper.
"Lita, Lita..." He shouted Lita's name in the direction of the kitchen.
It was embarrassing for Lita to hear Alex call her so unscrupulously. After all, they were in Bishop family now. He wasn't supposed to do whatever he wanted. The problem was he did it anyway.
After the man called her for the third time, Lita ran out of the kitchen hurriedly. She didn't know what the man was going to do to her.
"Sit down and help me with the dishes," ordered Alex coldly, acting like a lord.
'I know you are a big shot, but could you please not be so proud for just one time? How old are you, Alex? Do you still need others to help you get the food to your plate?'
